Jiang Hao and Bill moved towards the west until evening when the two of them found a place to leeward to get off the horse and rested, and found some dry firewood and raised the fire.

The climate in Texas is distinctly hot and cold. The hot summer temperature can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius, and blizzards may fall in winter. It is October, which is a relatively comfortable season of the year.

The two took out the dried meat and bread for a simple dinner, sat by the fire and chatted while drinking whiskey.

Bill looked at Jiang Hao and asked curiously: "Your marksmanship is accurate. You have killed so many security officers by one person, but unlike an ordinary farmer or herder, what did you do before."

"Before? Forgotten." Jiang Hao said.

Bill shrugged, "If you don't want to say it, just forget it. Anyway, I think you are a very story-provoking person. Also, what do you want me to do as your subordinate? Do you have any goals?"

"Of course, my goal is to rob the entire West and even the entire United States." Jiang Hao said bluntly.

Bill smiled, "Haha, I think so, but unfortunately that's impossible."

"People always have to have some dreams, what if they come true." Jiang Hao shrugged.

The next day, the two arrived at the town of Pollack, which was closer. Bill walked around the town and could not find Pete. "Maybe he is a little further west."

The two set out again, and it took another day to finally arrive at Lefland Town. The town is not big, with only one street, and it is estimated that there will be no more than three or four hundred people. There are many such towns in the west now, and it has not been developed yet. Although many immigrants have flocked in, it is still very empty. The big city is better, and there are indeed very few people in small towns in the countryside.

As soon as he entered the town, Jiang Hao found a blacksmith shop on the side of the road. He had an idea in his mind and said to Bill: "Bill, go and look around to see if your partner Pete is in Lefland Town. I want to find a blacksmith to create something."

Bill glanced at the blacksmith shop, "No problem, you've finished it here, how about our tavern gathering."

"no problem."

Bill rode away, Jiang Hao dismounted, and three horses stood obediently at the door of the blacksmith shop. Jiang Hao walked into the blacksmith shop and saw a very rough middle-aged man. The man was smoking. He saw Jiang Hao coming in and asked, "What do you need?"

"What can you build here?" Jiang Hao looked around and asked.

"Farm tools, horseshoes, knives and some tools, depending on what you need." said the rough man.

"I want you to help me create a set of tools." Jiang Hao said.

“Are there any drawings?”

"No, but I can draw now."

Jiang Hao asked the man for paper and pen and started drawing. The paper was covered with strange-shaped small things. The man was watching from the side, but he couldn't tell what these things were for. In fact, this was a set of lock-opening tools, and Jiang Hao finally marked the size.

After reading it, the boss nodded, "No problem, you can build it." He didn't ask what the thing is made of, this is the rule.

"How much?"

The boss thought about it, "$10."

"When will I come to pick it up?"

"Tomorrow, after noon."

Jiang Hao didn't talk nonsense and left with $5 on the table.

......

At this moment, at the Lefland Town Tavern, Bill finally found his partner. Peter was very surprised to see Bill and came up to give him a hug, "Hey man, why are you here? Didn't you say you want to pursue love?"

Bill looked angry, "I was deceived by that bitch. This is a trap. The woman was bought by Sheriff Rex of Ellis Town. Once I passed, I was surrounded by more than a dozen security officers. I was captured and almost hanged."

Pete was startled, "Then how did you escape."

"Haha, they picked up a guy on the road and pulled him back, trying to replace you, and then hang them together to share your bounty. Unfortunately, everyone was gone. That guy was such a powerful guy. He took me out of the cell. We also robbed him in Ellis Town. When we left, Sheriff Rex brought people to chase him. There were more than a dozen people. The guy took the initiative to fight back and actually killed Sheriff Rex, and there were seven or eight sheriffs. The remaining few ran away with their tails. Haha, it was so satisfying." Bill said and laughed.

"It's really not easy to kill more than ten people by one person. Bill, such people should be absorbed. We can do things in groups of three in the future." Pitt said.

Bill's smile froze, "Oh, strictly speaking, I'm joining him now." Bill spread his hands helplessly.

"What does it mean?" Pete frowned.

"Simply put, his condition to save me is to be his subordinate for one year. At least this year, he is my boss, that's that simple." Bill said.

Bill had some resistance to becoming someone else's subordinate before, but after the robbery and attack on Sheriff Rex in Ellis Town, he now recognized Jiang Hao.

Pete's brows frowned even more, "Bill, we are partners. You are someone else's subordinates now. What should you do if you ask me to do? Just stay in this bar, drink every day during the day, and sleep with a prostitute at night and wait for you for a year?"

Bill shrugged helplessly, "My man, I don't want it either, but I swear in my grandmother's name, so I must fulfill this promise."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Pete's eyes, "Bill, why not kill him, then there would be no damn oath, right?"

Bill was startled and immediately said, "Peter, Jon Hall is a sharpshooter, don't do anything randomly."

Sharpshooter!

These three words stimulated Pete. Peter was also a sharpshooter and was very conceited about his own shooting skills. "Since the other party is a sharpshooter, I will have a bet with him to see who is the real sharpshooter."

Jiang Hao came to the tavern, opened the door and saw Bill sitting in the corner. Next to him was a man in his thirties, wearing a clean jeans and standing up with his collar, looking very energetic. Jiang Hao thought to himself that this should be Pete.

"Hi Hall, I've found my companion Pete." Bill stood up and greeted.

Jiang Hao walked over, and Pete also stood up and looked at Jiang Hao carefully. Jiang Hao nodded slightly to say hello. Pete also nodded to Jiang Hao. Although he met for the first time, Jiang Hao felt that this guy named Pete had a bad look at him.

"Bill told me that you threatened him to agree to your conditions and be your subordinate for one year." Peter said, staring at Jiang Hao with his eyes narrowed.

The first sentence is to question it, haha.

"I don't think that's a threat. It's equivalent to exchange. Do you think his life is not worth the work of a year?" Jiang Hao said.

Pete couldn't argue because it was indeed an exchange, "I heard from Bill that you are a sharpshooter, and I want to have a bet with you."
Chapter completed!
