Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

The sound of horse hooves could be heard far away in the quiet jungle.

At the end of the winding trail, a horse team of about fifty people was moving forward quickly. The horse team was getting closer and closer, and finally they could see the figure on the horse. Who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Zhenming.

Each horse carried a lot of cargo. Liu Zhenming's horse even carried two small cloth bags. Inside the cloth bags were five kilograms of corn seeds.

One kilogram of corn seeds costs 1,000 merit points, and five kilograms is 5,000 points. It is definitely a big gift. Fortunately, it is a mission reward.

Yes, the task of defending the city has been completed. 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 100 kilograms of corn seeds have been obtained. Liu Zhenming led fifty soldiers and brought various gifts to carry out the second task: conquering the Indians.

"Captain, over that mountain, you will reach the Sekwepike tribe. The Sekwepike tribe is the largest Indian tribe here." A cavalryman rode close to Liu Zhenming and looked behind him.

Everyone with haggard faces reported to Liu Zhenming with a smile.

This man's name was Li Weihan, who was originally Ye Geyin's man, but later became a scout. The reconnaissance company roughly figured out the situation around the Chinese City, and Li Weihan was transferred to the mission team by Liu Zhenming.

"The chief of the Sekwepeke tribe is Gomez Checheba. The tribe has a population of about 10,000." The information collected from foreigners suddenly emerged in Liu Zhenming's mind.

Not to mention that this is 50,000 points of merit points, even if there is no such merit point, it would be much easier if we could subdue the largest Indian tribe in this place and then persuade other tribes.

"Brothers, please be vigilant, but remember, we are here to make friends this time. Don't look murderous and smile for me." Liu Zhenming stopped the soldiers and horses and gave these instructions.

The cavalrymen behind immediately bared their teeth, and some of them were even more ugly than crying.

Not long after, the cavalry approached the top of the mountain. Liu Zhenming was secretly on guard, looking in all directions and listening in all directions.

"stop!"

Amid the puzzled looks of everyone, Liu Zhenming jumped off his horse, then cautiously took a few steps forward, pulled out his knife, and gently picked up a pile of dead grass in the middle of the road.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped. He picked up the dead grass on the road, and a hole was immediately exposed. Liu Zhenming then peeled away the surrounding soil, and it became a two-meter-long trap. Inside the trap, there were sharp wooden stakes.

If it falls in, the storage will be punctured.

"Get ready to fight!" Liu Zhenming suddenly took out his gun and shouted softly. Without any hesitation, the fifty cavalrymen quickly dismounted and gathered around, raising their guns and pointing them outside.

After a rustling sound in the jungle, a group of about twenty Indians wearing light-colored coarse cloth and with long hair appeared from the woods.

Most of these people held spears, bows and arrows, and a few held old-fashioned firearms. They fearlessly surrounded Liu Zhenming and others.

The person in front of him chatted a lot, but Liu Zhenming couldn't understand a word.

"Friends, relax, relax, we are not malicious, we are the Chinese who came to meet Chief Gomez Checheba!" Liu Zhenming used the military counselor's trick on the group of Indians and said with a smile on his face.

Said in English.

People in this tribe began to interact with white people decades ago. There are people in the tribe who specialize in foreign contact and can understand English.

Sure enough, after Liu Zhenming finished speaking, one of them asked in English: "Chinese? Where is your tribe? Why have I never heard of it?"

Apparently, this person mistook Liu Zhenming and others as members of other Indian tribes.

"Chinese people like to make friends everywhere. I think we can become very good friends!" Liu Zhenming grabbed a gift with a relaxed expression and threw it over...

"Okay, I will explain it to Chief Gomez Checheba, but I can't guarantee whether he will see you." The Indian opened the bag and saw some exquisite handicrafts inside, with a happy expression on his face.

A lot.

"No problem, but I know that Chief Gomez Checheba will definitely meet us because we brought more gifts and news about the white people in Kamloops Town." Liu

Zhenming replied calmly.

Perhaps it was the military strategist's skills that played a role, or maybe it was because of the gift. After the Indian who knew English chatted at the others for a while, the vigilance on the faces of those people slightly diminished.

"You guys wait here, I'll tell the chief." The Indian asked two other people to turn around and leave, while the other Indians remained where they were to monitor Liu Zhenming and others.

Liu Zhenming sat down and waited calmly, took something out of his pocket, and said softly: "Take it out!"

For a while, everyone took out some delicious candies and ate them with gusto.

Gulu, Gulu...

There was a sound of swallowing all around, and the Indians stretched their necks to watch the Chinese eating deliciously.

A smile appeared on Liu Zhenming's lips. As long as he is human, he will have all kinds of emotions. He pointed at one of the Indians, and then ordered the food in his hand.

The Indian shook his head first, then nodded.

When the Indians who went to report came back, the Indians who stayed behind were already eating and drinking with the Chinese, and they were very unhappy.

"The chief agreed to meet with you, but the weapons in your hands must stay here." The Indian looked at the weapons in the hands of the soldiers and said loudly.

"No problem!" Liu Zhenming agreed without even thinking about it. He also had a bunch of weapons placed in the white space, and he was not afraid of what tricks these Indians would play.

After handing over the weapons, Liu Zhenming could feel that the Indians were much less wary.

Under the escort of the Indians, Liu Zhenming and his party quickly headed towards the Indian tribe.

"This friend!"

"You can call me Cuscat." The Indian said with a smile.

"Kuscat..." Liu Zhenming had just called his name when he suddenly felt a voice calling him. Liu Zhenming followed his feeling and looked around, only to see a place similar to a temple standing in the distance.

Liu Zhenming continued calmly: "How much do you know about white people?"

"White people." Cuscart said calmly: "They began to appear more than a hundred years ago. They have powerful weapons. Likewise, they are also very greedy. They kill countless bison just to get their skins.

"

Many Indian tribes relied on hunting as their main source of food. There was a fur trading station in Kamloops, and Europeans massacred wild animals, seriously affecting the survival of the Indians.

"I think so too." Liu Zhenming smiled, then looked at the temple-like building casually, and exclaimed: "What is that? I can feel my heart beating, and it seems to make me go to worship.

.”

Kuscat turned his head and took a look, and then said proudly: "Your feeling is correct. That is our temple, and many surrounding tribes will come here to worship."

Temple! Liu Zhenming remembered these two words firmly.
Chapter completed!
