Chapter 1857: I Gave You a Chance, But You Couldn't Make Use of It!

"Baturu, you want to start a war!"

"General Qin is our benefactor. If you touch him, you touch our people. Try touching him and see what happens!"

At the Canal construction site, the Indians building the Canal for the Longyan immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Baturu!

Baturu's expression remained calm, and he continued to hold his gun steadily, aimed at Qin Zhangfeng. Qin Zhangfeng grabbed the muzzle with one hand and pointed it directly at his own chest.

Faced with this death-defying move from Qin Zhangfeng, a hint of emotion appeared on Baturu's face.

This Longyan is truly arrogant enough!

"Longyan, are you provoking me?" Baturu said coldly, assuming he was using an advance as a retreat.

By putting on such an arrogant display, he was betting that Baturu wouldn't dare to act; if Baturu did act, these people certainly wouldn't be able to return alive.

It would also make his own fellow Indians trust the Longyan even more and work for the Longyan.

And he certainly wouldn't die; there must be a Bulletproof Vest under his clothes!

What a scheme, Longyan!

It's a pity he chose the wrong opponent!

"Longyan, are you provoking me?" Baturu sneered.

But what Qin Zhangfeng did next left him incredibly shocked.

Qin Zhangfeng disdainfully moved the muzzle to his own unprotected head, smiled, and said calmly:

"Baturu, I'll give you a chance now. If you think I'm guilty, feel free to pull the trigger."

"With one movement of your hand, my life will be yours."

Hearing these words from Qin Zhangfeng, Baturu was instantly stunned and dazed.

He could definitely kill Qin Zhangfeng by pulling the trigger now, but what about afterwards?

The Indians below were roaring like madmen.

If his own subordinates hadn't been holding them back, he would likely have been torn to pieces by them by now.

This madman!

"What are you trying to do!" Baturu shouted coldly, but his finger quietly left the trigger, fearing an accidental discharge.

He couldn't kill Qin Zhangfeng now, and he shouldn't kill him.

Killing a Longyan who offered no resistance and had been very good to their Indians would surely trigger the other Indians to encircle and suppress his tribe.

Baturu had sworn never to become an enemy of his own people, the Indians!

This was also the reason he came to Yun City; what the Longyan were doing now had already affected the agriculture and forestry that their Indians relied on for survival!

This standoff lasted only three seconds, but those three seconds felt as long as a lifetime.

Baturu stared at Qin Zhangfeng, then suddenly raised his gun. Everyone's heart tightened, thinking he was going to do something to Qin Zhangfeng.

The Indians who were being held back charged over regardless of their lives. Baturu's men were startled, wondering if they should just open fire.

But Baturu had previously given them an iron order: never allow any harm to come to any Indian.

Suddenly, Bang!

The gun went off.

The scene fell into instant silence, but the Indians on the Longyan side stared with wide eyes at Qin Zhangfeng, who didn't have a single scratch on him.

Baturu sighed. His strong body seemed to have been drained of all energy, and he said dejectedly, "General Qin, you win."

He suddenly looked up at Qin Zhangfeng and pleaded:

"Do whatever you want to me, but I beg you to spare my people."

"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't make use of it," Qin Zhangfeng scolded.

Ignoring Baturu entirely, he stepped forward and said to the Longyan Indians, "Stop looking, stop looking."

"Everyone go eat first. After you finish, rest for a while. We'll continue in the afternoon; there's no need to be in such a rush."

The onlookers, the Indians, actually dispersed to eat, leaving Baturu with a look of disbelief.

Soon, only a few of them were left at the gate, standing in the wind.

Qin Zhangfeng walked over and looked at Baturu's stunned expression.

He patted his shoulder and said calmly, "Why aren't you leaving? Are you still unconvinced?"

Baturu glared at him and nodded, "You group of outsiders, I don't believe you have such good intentions."

Qin Zhangfeng patted his shoulder; he hadn't heard words like that in a long time.

"Unconvinced, are you? Come on, follow me inside and take a look."

Qin Zhangfeng issued the invitation, and without waiting for Baturu to agree or refuse, he walked inside.

Baturu watched Qin Zhangfeng slowly walk inside with a complex gaze. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to his subordinates and said:

"Wait for me outside for a while. I'm going in to take a look. If it's dusk, you go back to the tribe!"

Several subordinates looked at each other and said worriedly, "Chief, this is too risky!"

"These colonists are no good. You can't go in. What if..."

"What if he attacks you once you're inside!"

Baturu laughed, looked at the subordinate who spoke, and said calmly, "If they wanted to kill us, they would have done it long ago."

"Although we came to warn the Longyan this time, looking at what just happened, they wouldn't even need to do it themselves to kill us."

"Those people of ours wouldn't let us off!"

The expressions of Baturu's subordinates changed slightly.

"Wait for me outside. If I haven't come out by dusk, you go back to the tribe quickly. That is an order!" Baturu said decisively.

Hearing this, the few Indians had no choice but to helplessly retreat outside the gate.

Baturu followed Qin Zhangfeng, his jaw dropping in surprise as he looked at the fortifications the Longyan were building here.

However, at the thought of Britain and France forcing them to build such fortifications, all of which were paved with blood and bone, his expression suddenly turned cold.

But at this moment, Qin Zhangfeng, who was walking in front, suddenly said: "Do you think that the construction of these fortifications was me exploiting you Indians to build them?"

Batu was stunned, not expecting Qin Zhangfeng to ask this, and immediately replied: "Isn't it?"

Qin Zhangfeng stopped in his tracks, looking at Batu's murderous face.

Batu met his gaze stubbornly; he had already prepared to face death when he decided to enter the Longyan Yun City.

But Qin Zhangfeng did not have the slightest intention of killing him.

"These fortifications were indeed built by you Indians, but they were built by you Indians of your own free will." Qin Zhangfeng turned his head, his calm gaze fixed on Batu.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, let's have a meal here."

Saying this, Qin Zhangfeng stepped into the cafeteria here.

The cafeteria was very crude, and the scent of the delicious food inside was even spilling out.

Smelling these delicacies, Batu's stomach rumbled; he was indeed a bit hungry, but he still found it hard to believe that Longyan would be so kind.

That his own tribesmen would help them build fortifications.

Qin Zhangfeng ignored him, and the two walked into the cafeteria one after the other.

After stepping inside, he saw those Indians in the cafeteria wolfing down their food and feasting on meat.

It made Batu's eyes go wide.

"How is this possible!"

This was a scene he had never seen before.
