Chapter 623: No Why!
Philip is a little aggrieved, although he is good at messing around, but this time it's really hard to say, after all, it's his own side that suffers, and he still suffers a big loss!
"Whether it's the Husworth tribe or the Cherokee tribe, this matter can't be counted like this! You know, we are all God's people, and every white man's life is worth at least a hundred Indians, and Your Excellency the Governor is furious! ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Opekan and the others were also a little ugly and aggrieved.
But Philip was also telling the truth, if the white people died one, they had to kill a hundred people to appease their anger, but they were still very hurt when they said it in such a grand way.
A patriarch couldn't help but speak: "Missionary Philip, I can understand the anger of His Excellency the Governor, but this is a matter between you and the Tao tribe, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
Opekan's eyes lit up: "Yes, the Tao tribe has long been expelled from the tribal alliance by us, this is not a war between us and His Excellency the Governor!" ”
Philip's mouth opened, and his face was ugly and he didn't say anything.
Opekan and the others were secretly refreshed in their hearts, yes, you don't have the ability to deal with the Tao tribe blessed by the sun god, that's because you don't have the ability, what does it have to do with us?
The Tao tribe did a good job this time! Let's raise our eyebrows in front of the white people for a while.
Philip adjusted his mood, "Okay, let His Excellency the Governor make a final decision on this matter, His Excellency the Governor asked me to ask the Great Chief, why did the Husworth tribe suddenly have such a strong force?" Who is that man who calls himself the sun god and the emperor? ”
Opekan shook his head.
"We haven't seen him yet, but we'll be going to Wolf Valley in a moment, and it's said that he'll reappear tomorrow, and the news has already spread, and there's no need for me to hide it from you."
Philip was taken aback.
"He'll be in Wolf Valley again tomorrow?"
Opekan nodded.
Philip was overjoyed, this was a very important piece of information, and he could finally go back to the business.
"Well, thank you for the frankness of the Great Chief, I think His Excellency the Governor will also feel the friendship of the Great Chief when he knows this news."
"I have one last question, what do you think, Your Excellency the Governor, who suspect that the firearms of the Huesworth tribe were bought from the French, and that action has been taken against the Louis Firm?"
Opekan's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, and suddenly understood what Philip meant, the governor wanted to unify his voice.
"I think His Excellency the Governor is right, although we have a good deal with His Excellency the Governor, but the price given by the Louis Comptoir is too good, and some tribes, such as the Tao Tribe, can't stand this temptation and trade privately with the Louis Comptoir, this is also possible."
"Actually, not only the Louis Comptoir, but also the other comptoirs of the French gave good prices, but for the sake of friendship with His Excellency the Doge, we still refused to trade with the French, but, after all, it is a fair trade, and I can't restrain too many tribes from trading with the French, I hope that the missionaries and the Doge will explain that it will not affect our friendship."
Philip secretly scolded Opecan for being shameless, he understood that Opecan was negotiating terms with the situation!
"Well, I'll convey the opinion of the Great Chief."
Philip stood up, and Opekan saw him off.
At that moment, there was a thumping of gunfire outside.
Philip, Opekan and the other patriarchs all looked at Philip with a drastic change in their faces.
Philip was also puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be that the guards brought here are making trouble?" ”
Just when everyone was in shock, a teenager walked in.
Philip and the others looked over, only to see that the man was dressed in silver armor, proudly stepping in, seeing Philip's face change, he quickly pulled out the musket on his back and pointed it at Philip.
Philip's face turned white with a sudden.
Opekan and the others were also discolored, and this young man was shocked to be the straw dog of the Tao tribe who had come in the morning.
"Stop!"
Opekan had to stand up, he couldn't let Philip die in Powhatan, let alone let him die in front of him.
"Straw Dog, this is the emissary of Governor Reycliffe, our guest and friend of Powhatan! Do you want to provoke a war between us and the British? Put away your muskets! ”
The straw dog pouted, "The sun god says that white people are not our friends, they are shameful and dirty!" They have killed many of our people, and many more will be killed in the future until we are killed! ”
"The sun god said that if you want to return an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, blood debts and blood will be paid, and all white people can be eliminated!"
"I am also acting on the guidance of the gods."
Opekan was so angry that his liver hurt, and every sentence of the straw dog was in the name of the sun god, did he still have me as a big chief in his heart?
Philip was frightened, he had been sent as a messenger because he knew the native language, and at this moment he hurriedly shouted: "You can't kill me, I have no weapons, I'm a missionary, I've seen the sun god, he didn't kill me!" ”
Strawdog nodded, took the musket, and though it didn't point at Philip again, his finger was still on the trigger.
"I know you, yesterday the sun god cut off both of your ears."
Philip breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great Chief, the most loyal servant of the Sun God, the patriarch of the Tao tribe, Jin Yan, is already outside, she has something to ask the Great Chief and the patriarchs, you can go out with me, as for this white man, go over with you and obey the disposal of the patriarch of Jin Yan!"
"Okay, I'll go out and meet her!"
Opecan snorted angrily and strode towards the gate, and although Philip was unwilling, he had to follow Opekan, and the other patriarchs walked out with him.
As soon as the twenty or so people went out, they saw a pool of blood on the ground.
In the pool of blood, the two guards brought by Philip were lying on the spot, and there were two teenagers in armor who were picking up the clothes of the two corpses.
There was also a teenager carrying two muskets, apparently the two white guards.
In addition, there were three teenagers, smiling and leading three horses.
Philip looked cheeky, this is also their horse!
And the square was crowded with thousands of onlookers.
In front of the crowd, six armoured teenagers rode horses, hugging a beautiful girl.
Opekan and the others knew that this girl must be Jin Yan, the new patriarch of the Tao tribe.
Philip was so shocked and angry that he couldn't help but cry out.
"Why do you kill our people for no reason? We are messengers! Not a warrior who came to fight! ”
Jin Yan said coldly: "There is no why, when you white people killed our people, did we ask why?" ”
Philip was speechless.
Jin Yan said: "Yesterday the merciful sun god punished you, but you went against the will of the gods and still stayed in the land of the gods. ”
"Nope! Oh God, you can't do that! ”
Philip was terrified and screamed.
There are no ears, which is unsightly, but if the nose is gone, it is really impossible to see people.
He grabbed Opekan by his clothes and cried out, "Stop her, Great Chief, for I will give you a hundred bottles of wine." ”
He didn't care about anything, and directly offered the price.
Opekan secretly scolded Philip for being a fool, is this kind of thing capable of shouting loudly?
But whether it is public or private, he has come forward, and this is a matter of majesty.
The buffalo and turkey drew their steel knives and headed towards Philip.
Opekan stepped forward and stood in front of Philip.
"Jin Yan, Philip is my guest, he brought peace, you can't do that."
The bison and turkey, frightened by the majesty of the Great Chief, stopped and looked at the Golden Swallow.
