Talaat stared at the bloody head, then raised his head to look at Hoover. This was a big gift from the leader of the horse bandits, but it was a bit too bloody.
"Who is this person?"
The sand was so thick that Talaat could not identify the head.
Hoover shook his clothes and said calmly: "I heard that Lord Pasha was attacked by horse bandits in Baisha settlement. I felt unhappy and wanted to know where the horse bandits were so bold. When passing by the place, I happened to see them robbing a convoy. , and wiped them out easily."
Talaat's heart skipped a beat. The so-called horse bandit was the royal chief of Baisha Settlement. Could it be that Hoover was going to kill him?
Even in the hot summer, there is still a hint of coldness creeping up the spine.
This Hoover is truly a devil.
"So that's what happened. Thank you for your help. Did your team suffer any losses?"
"Lord Pasha, these are just my sincerities."
Submit your certificate!
Talaat wanted to look back at Zhou Jinru. How did Mr. Fourth know Hoover's thoughts without leaving home?
"I already know your sincerity. Very good, Mr. Benjamin. You are the first sincere person I have seen since I came here."
The young pasha calmed down while thinking about his words.
In fact, Hoover always gave him a very cold feeling. Even if the man was smiling, there was no trace of gentleness. It seemed that his long life on horseback had destroyed Hoover's human side.
"Lord Pasha, I am going back to rest. I will come to visit you again in the future. Please allow me to excuse myself."
Hoover didn't say anything more, threw down the head, and turned around to leave.
When the leader of the horse bandits walked out of the camp, he looked at the crowds of people coming from all directions, showed a mocking smile on his lips, and led the people away in a swaggering manner.
Mullen, who hurried over, looked at Hoover's back in confusion. Although he still didn't know what happened, news would come soon.
Also confused was Franklin. He didn't come forward immediately because he was waiting for the actions of the other horse bandit leaders. Mullen came quickly, but Jason didn't know what was going on and was delayed in arriving.
"Go check it out and see what Hoover did. His actions are definitely not small."
Suddenly, messengers with missions set off from all over the oasis territory to explore the southeast.
…
In the camp, Talat excitedly ran to Zhou Jinru's tent and found that he was scribbling on a piece of parchment, but he couldn't understand it anyway.
"Mr. Fourth, Hoover really gave me a certificate of surrender!"
Zhou Jinru didn't even raise his head and said, "Did he go kill someone?"
"I haven't said yet, how do you know this? Did Kemp tell you?"
Captain Camp Guard has indeed gotten closer to Mr. Fourth recently, and Mr. Four taught him a lot.
Zhou Jinru stopped the charcoal in his hand and crossed his hands on the table: "I guessed."
"I do not believe."
"Well, there are actually traces of this matter. The key is whether we can find the key to the problem. I was not sure at first, but after meeting Hoover, I knew he would do this because he is a Horse bandits, real horse bandits.”
Talat moved a chair and sat opposite Zhou Jinru, listening patiently to his story.
"We all know that Hoover has an industry in the oasis territory, that is, mining. He has several large-scale mining teams, and his partners range from Victoria to Gaul. Any businessman who can extend his hand will not let go. Such low-price crude source stone, regardless of the low profit, if you don't do this business, only people will do it. If others are making money and you are idle, you will suffer a loss.
However, the cost of mining is also very low. As long as someone has the tools and adds an ore vein, the work can be started. The most indispensable thing in Sargon is people. Then the problem is, Franklin, Jason and Mullen, the three of them It’s not that we don’t have funds, so why not engage in mining? "
Talat frowned and said, "Because the price can't beat Hoover?"
"No."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "Because Hoover is too ruthless, it is not worthwhile to fight with him. Everyone is here to make a fortune, no matter what kind of fortune they make, they will not even risk their lives. But Hoover is different, he does not want his life."
At yesterday's banquet, it could be seen that the other three people seemed to be afraid of Hoover.
"But……"
Talat still didn't understand.
Zhou Jinru said softly: "Because something happened, do you remember? You ordered more than a hundred horse bandits to be killed, and their heads were chopped off and piled into a hill."
that matter!
The young pasha opened his eyes wide and grasped the edge of the table with both hands. This order was the suggestion of Mr. Fourth, and he just followed it. After all, as a royal family of Sargon, executing enemies is also one of the privileges, but that was it. , affecting subsequent development.
The human heads piled up into a hill are exposed in the wilderness and can be easily detected. The fact that an unpopular royal family can do this with a master beside him will inevitably arouse people's imagination.
What on earth did he come to the oasis territory for?
"I said, you will be the one to break the balance. After all, human imagination is infinite. Some things only need to be done for three points, and someone will naturally handle the remaining seven points."
Zhou Jinru said the next words that shocked Talaat.
"The White Sands Chief was not a very smart man. I thought I would have to wait until the afternoon to see his head, but Hoover delivered it in the morning."
Talat's lips trembled and he said excitedly: "Mr. Fourth, you planned everything!"
He was assassinated by the White Sands chief, but this man fell from the sky and saved him;
Being chased again, he was reminded to be prepared, and fought a beautiful positional battle;
He originally wanted to ask for it back later, but he didn't expect that just a few days later, someone cut off the head of the Baisha King and threw it in front of him!
"Chief Baisha made a stupid decision. I'm just helping him correct his mistake. You're welcome."
Talaat killed more than a hundred prisoners, and most of the defeated deserters refused to go back. The power of the White Sand chieftain was weakened by most, and he would definitely not be able to defend the White Sand settlement. Although it was not a wealthy place, it had become a No one will refuse the steamed buns with thin skin and big fillings.
If the White Sands chieftain had been smarter, he should have packed up his belongings and ran away earlier, leaving Hoover to chase him for one more day, but his greed made him hesitate, leaving half a day late, and losing his life faster.
If you do something like assassinate a pasha, you have to pay the price.
Zhou Jinru originally thought that even without Hoover, someone else would do it, maybe Franklin, maybe Jason. Unexpectedly, Hoover was a tough guy. He took people out of the city to chase him that day, and he was killed in a hurry. Heads come back.
"Before they figure out the situation, all suspicion is beneficial to you. When they figure out what's going on, you are already the master here, and they have no choice but to surrender."
