Chapter 84 And me! An unexpected helper

(Thank you for your support! Thank you for the black car! Please recommend it! Please collect it!)

Faced with John Brown's greed, Li Mengyang wanted to make a tough rejection. Can we still threaten you? But at this moment.

"And me!"

I saw that with this crisp and bright voice, a handsome boy riding a horse. Well, you can see at a glance that she is just a woman in a thick men's suit, and she has something on her chest!

"Eleanor?" Li Mengyang was even more surprised when he saw it. He really didn't expect that it was her.

That's right, it's Eleanor. At this time, she was alone and carrying a pistol on her body, with a heroic temperament.

"You? You are..." John Brown is so old, of course he wouldn't be unable to see that the man in front of him is a man, but nowadays, if a woman wants to ride a horse, it's better to wear men's clothes. The skirt is inconvenient, "Do you know Alan Pinkman?"

John Brown just wanted to verify the identity of this girl, which made him curious.

"I don't know." Eleanor's answer was very straightforward.

"Well, that's nothing. But I want to know, even if you are a friend of Mr. Eastwood, what's the use of you a girl joining us? Do you know what we're going to do? You're a girl..."

"Don't look down on women!"

Very well, John Brown made Eleanor anxious, Li Mengyang knew deeply, and then he heard Eleanor rush to say.

"Mr. John Brown! You are a morally noble person! You are a staunch abolitionist! I respect you very much! So, I don't think you need to do despicable behavior, such as..." Eleanor glanced at Li Mengyang, and he understood the meaning very well. This was a pity that John Brown was not moral, but she had not finished speaking, "Mr. John Brown! I know where you are going this time!"

"Um?"

Not only John Brown, but almost everyone was surprised, but Li Mengyang was the same, because he didn't know John Brown's plan. The old guy just said that Li Mengyang would wait for him here, and then everyone would make the next plan. The reason why Eleanor appeared here must be that he eavesdropped on his conversation with John Brown.

"Ha! Then tell me, where will we go?" John Brown smiled again.

"It's very simple, you'll go to Habers Ferry!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Eleanor's words came out, John Brown's smile immediately frozen!

"..." Li Mengyang was only shocked now, because looking at John Brown's face, you can tell that Eleanor is right, but this is too exaggerated, right? Li Mengyang admitted that Eleanor is very smart, but can she be so smart?

Eleanor continued, "You must be very surprised, why do I know your destination?"

Everyone nodded, and so was Li Mengyang.

"Haha..." Eleanor smiled softly and continued, "It's very simple, because you meet in this place and want to do something big, such as liberating some black slaves, then at least you have to go to the south, Virginia in the south, and there, you guys who are not familiar with the place obviously cannot go to big towns and do anything, so you can only go to a place that is most beneficial to you. Habers Ferry, where is the intersection of the Shenandoa River and the Potomac River, there is an arsenal, and it's a small town, with a small population, and the slaves you want. It's a convenient transportation, which can provide you with weapons, and it's not a major town in peacetime, and the garrison is very weak, and that location is the junction of Maryland and Virginia, not far from Washington, and you have everything you want. If it were me, you would definitely choose there."

I have to say that this reasoning is definitely very reasonable. In Li Mengyang's opinion, it is completely comparable to Sherlock Holmes and Conan Edogawa.

"Baoba..." John Brown even applauded, "Little girl, I have to admit, you are really smart..." The applause was applause, but the old guy turned his gun at this time and pointed it at Eleanor!

"Hey! What are you doing?" Li Mengyang first responded to this move.

"I can't let my plan leak!" John Brown said he was cruel enough, and he also pulled the hammer of the revolver.

"Mr. John Brown! Are you going to kill a devout believer and someone who fully supports you?" Eleanor's face remained unchanged. She was already brave enough.

"Why did you know my plan?" John Brown wanted to know the most.

"It's very simple, because I'm a Virginian!" Eleanor smiled slightly.

Yes, the answer was revealed, and it seemed no surprise at all, because only in this way could Eleanor's reasoning be explained, she was familiar with her hometown.

"Okay." John Brown hit the hammer, "but I still want more people."

Eleanor raised his chin, "Sir, please don't be too greedy. There are two people here, and they are the two most elites. I am still a local. When I get there, I can help you find more helpers. Isn't this better than some useless guys?"

"..." John Brown's face changed a lot, as if he was thinking. After a while, "Okay, I accept your advice!"

Therefore, our army of liberated black slaves has an additional female member.

"Why follow me?" Li Mengyang just couldn't stop Eleanor from joining because it was voluntary, and John Brown and other people were the current leaders. So Li Mengyang had to ride a horse, walk alongside Eleanor, and then ask.

"I am supporting the liberation of the black slaves!" Eleanor did not look at Li Mengyang without looking at him.

Very good. To be honest, Li Mengyang knew that it would be the answer, but in fact, he was really moved. He really felt the girl’s feelings for him!

In fact, Li Mengyang could see Eleanor's intentions very early. He was not a stingy man. Maybe he was an idiot in love before, but after experiencing all kinds of things about Huang Rong, he was already a little enlightened. Although he was not a veteran in love, how could he not understand Eleanor's innocent and silly love?

But it is precisely because of Huang Rong's sister that Li Mengyang never wants to face this relationship, not to mention that he is a Chinese and Eleanor is a white man... Li Mengyang does not have any deep racial concepts, but this is the case in today's society, and there is such a racial barrier. Chinese workers all return to China to get married or buy a bride.

But now that people are taking risks with this, what should Li Mengyang do?

Eleanor also knew that he was stupid, but when she overheard the conversation between Li Mengyang and John Brown, and later, Li Mengyang actually said that he wanted to go alone, she couldn't sit still anymore, she really couldn't sit still!

Eleanor is very clear about what John Brown does, and Eleanor is also very clear about his style of conduct. When he was in Kansas, the old man often killed people, but now, if he wants to make a bigger plan, the dead are probably indispensable.

And the assembly site is this place in Maryland close to Virginia. What does this mean?

Eleanor was really a Virginian. She knew what John Brown was going to do at once, because she was very familiar with the Habers Ferry. There was no guard at all in this small place. Although there was an arsenal here, Eleanor knew the details of the place.

However, this place is very close to Washington. So, even if the US military is so unbearable at this time, they can pounce on it as fast as possible, and then...

Li Mengyang will definitely be very dangerous, and this fool himself doesn’t know what will happen!

Eleanor felt scared. She was afraid of losing Li Mengyang. This idea made her even more scared because she already knew that she was really in love with this fool!

Maybe this fool doesn't know yet, he must not know, otherwise how could he have sex with that French beauty?

But Eleanor originally intended to take risks for the person he loved... but what's interesting is that she didn't want to pretend to be rude to Li Mengyang because she didn't want this fool to know that she loved him, this way... Eleanor felt that it was embarrassing.

Women's thoughts are sometimes very strange, especially women in love, especially women in love with no experience...

There were two more people in John Brown's team at this time. As Eleanor said, he was going to launch an uprising this time, occupy the Habers Ferry, liberate the black slaves there, and let the whole United States know the power of our abolitionists!

With this as the beginning, John Brown wanted to carry out a great abolition revolution that swept across the United States!

John Brown had to do this because the power of the southern slave owners was too strong and too arrogant at this time.

Li Mengyang knew how arrogant those guys were, that is, in the east, you could call abolitionism, but if you dare to really help black slaves and help them escape, you would be punished by American laws!

At this time, American law helped the slave owners, and a particularly prominent manifestation was the Scott v. Sandefault case in 1857. The result of this case was that Dred Scott, a slave who had already lived in the Free State and whose masters were dead, was unable to be free in the end.

In short, the reality of the current abolition movement in the United States is that although the abolitionists shouted happily, they didn’t have much to do. Instead, slave owners often took practical actions and used the law to get many abolitionists to prison. These are news, and Li Mengyang naturally knew.

Against this background, John Brown really has only one way to go for riots. He is a devout believer who swore before the cross and devoted his entire life to the cause of liberating slaves!

Since the law does not help ourselves, we can only help ourselves...
