There were several officials of the general office who came with the expedition, led by Cai Xin, the general secretary. This man was well educated in China and abroad, and was previously in charge of the pacification of Jiaozhi and Guangnan, and earlier was the envoy of the current Manchu Qianlong Emperor. The Anglo-Chinese Xinhai Emperor made a decision, and the General Office also shouldered the important task of disrupting the pattern of global diplomacy, one of which was to negotiate with the Spanish vice king of Dongzhou.

The Dayang Company and the Dayang Fleet couldn't catch up, so Cai Xin followed Luo Wugui's Beiyang Fleet expedition. In Luo Wugui's view, although Cai Xin is only a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, he is really a university questioner. Of course, as the backbone of the Wang Dao Society, the personal disciple of Chen Run, the grandmaster of the Wang Dao Society, is certainly worthy of Luo Wugui's respect. The reason why Luo Wugui treats Bering well is that Cai Xin thinks that he can squeeze more value out of this person.

In addition to Cai Xin, there are also students from Baicheng and Whampoa Academy, although they haven't done much in practice, and most of them are talking on paper, but looking for a banner is a high-minded talk, and they are just right.

Led Fan Sihai to the expedition station, Luo Wugui was resolute, and he wanted to find the foundation in this matter.

Passing by the stable in the corner of the camp, a few tall horses caught his eye, and Luo Wugui praised sincerely: "Good horse! ”

Of course, it is a good horse, the Americas were originally the origin of horses, and when the "Luobai Strait" was still an isthmus, it entered Asia, bred Mongolian horses and Arabian horses, and then entered Europe. Then the American horse became extinct, but the Spaniards brought it back and let the horse appear in the Americas again. Horses released by the Spaniards were bred into wild horses and domesticated by the North American Indians. Most of these horses are Spanish Andalusian horses, tall and powerful, and they are much better than the smaller, more endurance-oriented Mongolian horses.

Fan Sihai said: "This is what Xiao Liu took from Shengfan, it is said that in the eastern prairie, there are countless wild horses, which is also the reason why Xiao Liu's main deterrence of Shengfan and going deeper into the east...... In this eastern continent, the earth is wide and the sky is high. You can't do it without a horse, almost everyone in Puzhou is now familiar with equestrianism. ”

Looking around at the endless empty grassland, Luo Wugui also had to admit that if there was no horse, he could only walk in Dongzhou, which would be an extremely desperate thing.

Cai Xin and others were very interested in this topic, and they brought the Heavenly Temple to worship Wang Lin in the affairs of the first generation, and everyone became hotly discussed. The guards outside the door also tilted their ears to eavesdrop. It is said that it is a meeting to deal with Shengfan, and they, the "Puzhou people", are naturally particularly concerned.

After discussing for a long time, I heard Luo Wugui shout in a changed voice: "This is ridiculous!" ”

The volunteers looked at each other, not knowing what had been discussed. made Luo Wugui so out of shape, and was about to listen to it, when the bell rang urgently, and then turned his head to see that black smoke was floating from the Fengsui platform in the south.

"Invasion! The sixth young master has gathered the cavalry and chased it out! ”

A rider came and reported the news, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Chong'en, you gather people and hurry up to follow......"

Fan Sihai gritted his teeth and asked the township lieutenant Fan Chongen to reinforce Fan Liuxi.

"I'll go too. Take the Fubo Army, uh...... There's a carriage, right? ”

Of course, Luo Wugui can't stay out of the matter, and at this moment he is extremely embarrassed, he can ride a horse, but it is just a substitute for transportation, and he has to gallop on horseback, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the navy. Few people have that ability, and he and his subordinates are no exception.

"I'll go too, it's best to turn the war into a jade silk, just try Cai Tongshi's proposal."

As a member of the Heavenly Temple, he has always opposed killing, especially meaningless killing.

Soon, more than a hundred horse-drawn carts were escorted by more than a dozen horse-drawn carts. Carrying nearly 100 Fubo troops and capable sailors, they set off.

"Little Liu, don't be reckless......"

Luo Wugui took the command, and led the men and horses to the southeast direction that Fan Liuxi was chasing, and kept chattering in his heart. ..., the topography of Puzhou is quite peculiar, which is also the reason why Dayang Company and Fan Sihai insisted on cultivating here before. Puzhou Bay is like a sea gate, breaking through the mountains on the north and south coastlines. Four or five hundred miles to the east is the northwest to southeast, and the higher mountains separate the coastal area of Puzhou from the inland area further east, and in the plane of Li Xi's previous life, this is the Sierra Nevada. Sandwiched between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Mountains by the Sea, a slender canyon is nearly 2,000 miles long from north to south and 3,400 miles wide from east to west. In Fan Sihai's view, this area is enough to feed a million people.

Looking down from the vast sky, at this moment, in the southeast of the canyon, two puffs of smoke and dust are rising high. Dozens of horses chased, dozens of horses fled.

"Kill! Catch up and fire! ”

Fan Liuxi roared, his anger filled his heart, Shengfan is an unreasonable, uncommunicable person, the great truth of the Sang master, the great benevolence and righteousness of the king's sacrifice, can not be used on Shengfan at all. Don't look at their human appearance, what is the difference between them and tigers and leopards on the inside? Before, it was just a distant collision, but now it has directly touched the gate of heaven, and it must not be stayed!

Seeing that the two teams were already very close, a huge wave of dust suddenly crashed out, separating the two sides.

"Wild horses!"

Fan Liuxi grabbed the reins and exclaimed.

I only knew about this from the information of the Spaniards relayed by the Ocean Company before, and I had never seen wild horses in the Puzhou area, but now I saw that even if it was only a few hundred wild horses, I felt that there was the mighty power of the heavens, and I could only avoid its edge.

"Bastard...... Hiss...... Good horse! ”

Just as he was angry and took the opportunity to escape, Fan Liuxi's eyes were suddenly caught by a touch of color in the herd.

Black and bright as silk, the horse's mane fluttering, the horse's hooves flying, and the beauty of an indescribable strength soaked Fan Liuxi's mind, almost making him forget the enemy in front of him.

This divine steed black horse was obviously the head horse, leading the herd of rolling horses at a gallop, I don't know whether it was to laugh at the humans on both sides, or the same kind under the crotch of the humans, and raised its head and neighed.

In an instant, the people seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, and Fan Liuxi was enraged, or rather, the desire to conquer filled his heart. Horses are already a part of Puzhou people's lives, and having such a divine horse is an irresistible temptation for every man who gallops on a horse in the vast land.

What's more, this is a herd of horses, if you catch the head horse, maybe you can take down the whole herd, and the Puzhou men don't have to ride those Mongolian horses that are as short as donkeys. I can't catch up with it, this god horse can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.

Fan Liuxi's eyes were red, and he drove his mount straight to the black silk horse. The subordinates also knew what they wanted and hurriedly followed.

The lasso was raised, and Fan Liuxi was ready to gallop to win the other party.

"The clumsy seaside man actually came up with the idea of a wild horse. What demons had their ancestral spirits polluted by? ”

It was not Fan Liuxi who was red-eyed, Ben Shengfan who was running away also stopped, and vaguely saw Fan Liuxi and others chasing the head horse, the leader of the group had a brocade feather on his head, a colorful feather coat on his back, and a face with black and red oil paint on his face was full of surprise.

"It's a good eye, it's a good horse."

Even if he was the leader of the clan, the mount of the "Wild Wolf" was far inferior to that of the dark horse. He was also moved by the dark horse, but he was not in a hurry to act. In his opinion, Fan Liuxi's group of "seaside people" are clumsy and don't know how to set horses at all. When they are trampled into pulp by the horses, they will attack again, and the enemy and the foal will be able to get their hands on it, killing two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, the seaside man missed, and the mount blocked the way of the horses, and was almost overwhelmed by the horses, but I saw that the man was overturning the horse's head and blended directly into the horses. The "mad wolf" also smacked his lips, admiring the dexterity of the other party. ..., and then he laughed, and the man did another, but was avoided by a light sideways jump of the black horse, who had already realized it, and the horses followed the black horse, and suddenly collided with the man's mount, and the man and the horse rolled out of the herd. I don't know if I live or die.

"Poor seaside man......"

The wolf waved his hand in silence for his enemy, but before he could raise his arm, he lowered it, and the man was fine, so he changed his horse and got on again.

The wolf suddenly felt that this was a respectable enemy, at least his courage had subverted his understanding of the "seaside man", perhaps...... These people are not the seaside people of the past?

Doubts flashed through my mind. But he was unwilling to be pressed and dispersed, the man had experience, and directly inserted into the herd, seeing that the posture would soon succeed, this is not good!

The wolf also rushed forward, as he blended into the herd. Fan Liuxi subconsciously pulled out his gun and was about to fire. But the other party was already on guard, holding a spear in one hand, and the two were facing each other from a distance.

Seeing that the muzzle of the other party's gun pointed at the black horse, and the other hand was also dangling the lasso, there was no need to speak, Fan Liuxi also understood what the other party meant, and saw who was holding the horse first......

Compare to compare! Although it is not as good as what you have been practicing all your life, but for more than a year, I have been practicing hard every day, and I will not be worse than you!

Self-esteem surged up, and Fan Liuxi had forgotten his previous conclusion that "Shengfan is not a person and cannot be communicated".

The two horses, one left and one right, clamped the black horse, sensing the danger, the black horse did not dare to continue to tease the humans, the horse's hooves were flying, and they were ready to speed up and escape.

But in the face of greedy humans, the dark horse is obviously too arrogant, and only then does he think about escaping, but it is too late.

The mad wolf's lasso shot first, but he didn't expect the dark horse to accelerate and miss, Fan Liuxi was already thinking carefully, he wanted the mad wolf to strike first, and then he waited for the opportunity to move, if the mad wolf succeeded, he would blast it over. The mad wolf missed, and the black horse accelerated, so he adjusted his hand strength, and as soon as the lasso came out, he hit the horse's head.

The horse neighed, the black horse was unruly, regardless of the fact that he would be strangled, he continued to rush forward, and Fan Liuxi was dragged off the mount. The person dragged on the grass like floating on water, pulling out a straight line of smoke and dust, Fan Liuxi screamed in his heart, it's over-!

"Let go, stupid!"

The mad wolf was depressed, but when he saw Fan Liuxi's appearance, he was anxious for Fan Liuxi again. Seeing that this person would rather die than let go, he felt that this person was really a good man, how did he know that Fan Liuxi was already dizzy......

When Fan Liuxi got up from the ground, he felt that his chest and abdomen were burning like fire, and when he looked down, he was a good guy, his clothes were all rotten, and his skin was open. Looking up again, it was the black horse that was trapped, standing high on the horse, and the colorful face couldn't see the expression clearly, so he stared at himself with a pair of dark eyes.

As soon as Fan Liuxi's brain buzzed, he was about to pull out the gun, but unfortunately, not only the short gun he was holding in his hand had been lost, but the short gun on his waist had also been lost due to dragging.

The sheng shouted a lot, and then made a move that made Fan Liuxi puzzled, he got off the horse and handed the lasso in his hand to Fan Liuxi.

"It's a good horse, but it's your ......"

The mad wolf said regretfully, looking at the other party's inexplicable look, and smiled helplessly, knowing that everyone could not understand each other.

"My name is Wild Wolf, Whoop - Wild Wolf, that's me. You're not from the seaside, we were mistaken before......"

The wolf struggled to explain his name to the other party, and wanted to communicate further.

"We are...... The Comanches, that's what the white people of the south call us. Comanche ......"[1]

His efforts did not have much effect, and Fan Liuxi's understanding was that this student who learned to call a wolf was named Comanche.

teamed up to appease the dark horse, no matter how black-hearted Fan Liuxi was, it was not good to turn his face now, not to mention that he was still injured, and the other party's subordinates also surrounded him. So I had to try to communicate with the other party. ..., when Luo Wugui led a large group of people to arrive, looking at the well-groomed Fubo army, the wild wolf was very puzzled: "Are you from the seaside?" Which white man is it allied with now? ”

Of course, Luo Wugui, Fan Liuxi and others did not understand, and the king sacrifice finally had a place to use. Although he was also confused at first, the language of these Shengban was obviously different from the Shengban that he had captured and killed in the north before.

With great patience, Wang Xian finally figured out some things, these people are the Shengfan that Fan Liuxi met in the south before, they are old enemies with the Shengfan who lives by the sea in the north, and they met Fan Liuxi and others before, and saw that their eyebrows were very similar to those "seaside people", so they made a move.

"The tribe's name is Comanche. This head man is called ...... Crazy wolves, well, let's call them wild wolves, they can communicate. They desperately need salt, sugar, cotton, and weapons, and everything we have, I guess they'll want it, and it's a good opportunity to make friends with them. ”

The king priest said. Fan Liuxi, who had just wrapped up his injuries, remembered the old pain, Fan Seventeen died at the hands of the other party, so this hatred didn't matter?

"More than ten of them have died, when will they retribution......

Wang Xian sighed, but Fan Liuxi was not convinced, life is life, how much death is like ants, how can you generalize with your own family.

"Since their leaders are here. Now it's just right to clean up in one go! ”

Luo Wugui's face was also hideous, and he glanced at his subordinates, and was ready to make a move.

"Chief, where the hell did these people come from?"

"They look a little like us, but they feel more like the white guys, and they're all cunning!"

"Not good. They want to get their hands dirty! ”

On the wolf's side, the clansmen were also muttering to him, and they were also aware of the other party's movements.

Thinking of the current crisis and the future of his own tribe, the mad wolf couldn't help but feel sad. His tribe could not gain a foothold in the south, so he could only find a suitable place to live while walking, and a few years ago, he had a conflict with the "seaside people" in the north and formed a mortal enemy. In recent years, the white people continued to expand northward, and it became more difficult for their tribe to gain a foothold in the south, so they had to go north to carve out a habitat in the north.

But the year before last, when he met these fellow people who were dressed and equipped like white people, more than half of the pioneers of the pathfinder were killed and wounded, which proved the strength of these people, and he had to stop and hunt in the plains of the sea to the south. But after two years, the bison and wild fruits of that narrow plain were gone, and he had to muster up the heart to die and attack the north again.

This time, I came with a capable detachment to find out the situation of these "seaside people", but it turned out that what I met did not seem to be seaside people, but more ferocious strangers. What makes him strange is that the other party has the same skin color and eyes as himself, who are they?

This question may never be answered, and seeing the fierce light in the other party's eyes, the wild wolf is ready to call his subordinates to fight to the death.

The king priest said in a loud voice: "Don't come nonsense! Have you forgotten what we agreed upon? ”

Luo Wugui suddenly looked entangled, Fan Liuxi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The king priest walked towards the wolf, and made a gesture, conveying such a message to the wolf......

"We ...... It's relatives, well, that's right, relatives! ”

The king's sacrifice was dressed in a robe, with a long beard and a crown, and a kind face, and in the eyes of the mad wolf, he was a prophet and a leader, and his words were of great authority, and of course, the message was particularly shocking, making him suspect that he had misunderstood.

"We are relatives who have been separated for 10,000 years!"

Wang Xian stretched out his arms and put on a posture of hugging his relatives, and the wild wolf finally confirmed that he had understood correctly.

Relatives who have been separated for 10,000 years......

The wolf gestured vigorously with his fingers, and wanted to use his toes, how long is 10,000 years?
