Chapter 31: I still want to be a dog
"I still have a question!" Fury Wind was silent for a long time before asking.
"You say!"
"Why would you help me?"
The turtledove was silent for a moment.
To convince a person, you can reason with him. But it is useless to just reason.
"My tribe is in the mountains to the west." Pointing in the direction of the west, Turtledove said, "Originally, the Apache people were used as a barrier, and they were able to live in peace. However, since the mass exodus of the Apaches, I think that my days of security will soon be gone. ”
"So, you want me to be your barrier?" Fury asked.
"It's not nice to say, but—yes, I can't resist the whites, but you might!" Turtledove said. "It's also helping myself!"
No one is selfless, and Ikaruga believes that Fury must know this very well. So he needs a self-serving explanation.
"And, I'll show you one more thing!" Turtledove said.
He dragged a dark pocket from under the low table in front of him.
Opened and inside was a bag of sand.
As soon as the turtledove shone it on the candlelight, the sand began to glow.
"I wouldn't tell you this secret unless it was absolutely necessary—it was found in the Conchos River."
The Conchos River is just a short distance west of the Windless Territory.
Fury reached out and grabbed the sand from his pocket, watching in amazement as the sand trickled down from his fingers.
Golden light jumped in his eyes.
"It's ...... Gold? ”
"That's right, it's gold! The secret that was dug out of the Konchos River was supposed to belong to me, and now it is the two of us! ”
……
John Salmon Ford arrived at the Buffalo Fair with his cavalry.
The bazaar in front of me has turned a bright red color.
The torches illuminated the long street red, and the blood clotted to the ground, emitting an eerie glow.
Amid the clattering of the horse's hooves, Ford came to the center of the bazaar.
In front of him was a mountain of bones three meters high.
Ford was on horseback and had to tilt his head to see the top of the mountain of bones.
"That's what you told me?" Ford asked, with a calm face.
Fury stood under his horse, head bowed, and did not speak.
"What about the murderer?"
Fury's body shuddered and lowered his head.
"I'm asking you about the murderer!" Ford lifted the whip in his hand and whipped it on Fury's head.
Fury Wind was in pain and dodged for a moment.
This dodge ignited Ford's anger even more.
The whip fell on the angry wind like a torrential rain.
"I want a murderer! Murderer! What's the use of you showing me this bunch of stuff? What's the use? ”
Seeing that the furious wind had fallen to the ground, the thick blood on the ground infected most of his body.
Ford jumped off his horse and kicked Fury.
"Damn it, get up! I don't need you to play dead here! Hurry up and find me the murderer! ”
Fury Wind slowly braced himself on his hands and stumbled up from the ground.
"Sir!" Angry Wind said weakly: "The murderer is a big tree!" He led his army against the trade regiment, and my men ...... Some are not enough. ”
"Rubbish!" Ford said fiercely: "Big tree? So what? I brought with me two hundred cavalry, and five hundred infantry in the rear. This time, I don't care what big or small trees I have, and no matter who is sheltering him, he will die! ”
Fury lowered his head again.
Let go of the hand that was already on his waist.
With 200 cavalry and 500 infantry, such a lineup is enough to fight a medium-sized battle.
It's not something that Fury can deal with.
His tribe is not small, there are more than 1,000 people, which is considered a medium-sized tribe.
On the opposite side, however, was a heavily armed army.
He had no hope of victory at all.
Arming is another powerful principle. Once again, Fury was convinced by this truth.
……
Turtledove stood by the window, and through the crack in the window, he saw Fury Wind standing in front of the white commander with his head bowed.
I also saw Fury let go of the knife hidden in his waist.
"Turtledove—"
The turtledove raised his hand to stop the big hard words.
His face was terrifyingly cold.
The problem now is that if Fufeng chooses to survive again, then with the strength of this white army, I am afraid that even he will be planted here!
……
"Captain?"
A horseman came to Ford on horseback, dismounted, and gave Ford a military salute.
"Say!"
"The results of the interrogation of the slaves came out, and they all said that it was three Indians who attacked them!"
"What?" Ford froze and leaned his head forward. "Three Indians?"
"That's right, Captain. That's what all the slaves say! ”
"How is this possible? Ha ha! Ford laughed and said, "Jacqueline, do you believe it?" Three Indians? Assaulted a trade convoy of three hundred men? And, in the trade mission, there were ten musketeers led by Mr. Cruze? ”
"Uh......," the soldier on the other side hesitated. But, Captain, that's what the slaves say! ”
"They're lying!" Ford yelled. "I'd rather believe that it is Mexicans who can fly than believe such a ridiculous lie! Slaves are connoisseurs of lying, they always lie! ”
"Mr. Captain, Sergeant Green is escorting the slaves over, and will be here around dawn. You can also interrogate it yourself when the time comes. Jacqueline said.
"Hmph, of course I'll interrogate them!" Ford sneered. "These filthy liars, they are only honest under a whip soaked in salt water!"
Ford turned to Fury.
"Idiot! Tell Jacqueline, who attacked Acheson's caravan group? ”
……
Who is it?
Isn't it a big tree?
Many question marks suddenly appeared in Fufeng's heart.
Then many exclamation points popped up.
No!
How the fuck could it be a big tree!
Just now I said that I had seen the Big Tree Tribe attack the merchant group with my own eyes, so I made it up by the! In order to make my words more convincing, I made it up myself! It was the turtledove who said it! I've never seen a tree before!
But are they really three Indians?
I rub, when did the Indians become so fierce?
Three?
Is it so ridiculous?
Sweat began to drip from Fury's face, reflecting the fiery red light.
Is it possible...... But...... Though...... But what if......
Oops! If it was really three Indians who did it, the turtledove in the attic must be one of them!
……
"Idiot! Are you dumb? Ford didn't hear Fury's answer for a long time, and he became furious and slapped Fury in the face.
"Sir!" Fury suddenly sobered up. "Sir, it's a big tree! It's a tree—but I'm just listening to my subordinates, and I'm not sure if they've deceived me—"
Fury immediately confessed!
Once the slaves have been escorted, the results of the interrogation can be released quickly. I can't hide it at all.
At this time, Fury Wind was left with endless remorse in his heart.
Why?
I also interrogated the result of the three Indians who attacked the merchant group, why didn't I believe it without hesitation?
Now it seems that this is the only correct answer!
No, that's definitely the right answer!
Now the three Indians were above their heads, perhaps looking at themselves through the cracks in the window.
"I'm rubbing! %¥%@#! Captain Ford's mouth rang out like a firecracker, and the fire in his eyes was about to ignite the wind of rage.
"Mr. Ford, you listen to me, you listen to me—"
Fury hurriedly knelt down, looked at Captain Ford, and said sincerely:
"I know who the murderer is! I know where they're hiding! Please give me a chance to make amends! I'll lead the way! I'll lead the way......"
Thankfully, there was still time—the fury rejoiced in his heart.
You can also catch turtles in the urn!
