Jason took a breath. It had only been a few hours, but the greedy hyena had already started to act?

The four major horse bandits haven't all been wiped out. Don't you understand that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse?

Everyone can see that the oasis territory will be ruled by Talat in the future. No one can withstand Cheng Changsheng's army coming again, so they simply go with the flow and let the young Pasha take his position.

Without the four horse bandits, especially the vicious Hoover, who had been too timid to let go, now he could finally reap the full benefits.

So they couldn't wait to come to force Talaat to compromise, and compromise was an inevitable result. However, the various local family forces were intertwined and controlled the grassroots links. They could not move or move.

The horse bandits are outsiders. When they were strong, they had knives and war horses. They were too powerful to defeat, but now there is only one young pasha left, so it is okay to bully them.

If you want to take office, you can. Have you ever heard of the principle that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local coward? Just bow your head!

"What do you plan to do, Lord Pasha?"

Captain Camp Guard stared: "How do I know!"

Jason also secretly cursed himself for being stupid, asking Kemp was just asking about a piece of wood?

He put down his hat, even if his strength was not as good as others, he could still support his appearance, and he was not without selfish motives.

Franklin and Mullen were severely weakened, and Hoover didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Now that his family was the only one in power, if he didn't take the opportunity to expand Victoria's influence and gain political capital for himself after returning to the country, how long would he wait?

At this time he must harden up.

With this thought in his mind, Jason straightened his back, not only hard, but also tall.

When Jason walked into Talat Pasha's tent, the first thing he saw was an angry young man sitting in a chair. He quickly weaved what he wanted to say in his mind, and just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a top hat placed on the corner of the table.

This black top hat looks very ordinary from the outside, and it is a bit old and unremarkable.

But Jason's heart skipped a beat. He knew this hat. Just a few days ago, it was worn on Hoover Benjamin's head!

hiss.

Jason could hear his own heartbeat.

Could it be that Hoover is already dead and was killed by Talat?

Those Immortal Army should have been recruited by him, that's right, only in this way can it be explained.

Talaat raised his head, his eyes were unkind, and he said coldly: "Mr. Jason, are you here to negotiate terms too?"

Jason's expression froze on his face, and he didn't know how to express the secrets in his heart. He said in a hurry: "Of course not, how could I do such an excessive move? Lord Pasha, Victoria Company is here to do business.

It is a legitimate business and we are willing to cooperate with the pasha’s decree.”

Hoover had issued a petition the day before, but the person was gone the next day. Talaat Pasha turned against him faster than he could flip through a book. The head of such a powerful horse bandit was missing. Jason pessimistically thought that his head might be missing.

Even less valuable.

He had no choice but to retreat from the oasis territory.

Then he would be finished, not only in Sargon but also in Victoria.

Not only domestic political opponents will take the opportunity to attack him, but even the nobles who enjoy the benefits of the company will not let him go.

"Very well, Mr. Jason, you made a right decision."

Talaat's expression softened slightly and he said calmly: "Now is not the time to say these words. Many people in the oasis territory have experienced sandstorm disasters and are in urgent need of comfort. I can't spare any time for the time being. It's a bit troublesome."

The words came to his lips, and Jason immediately took them over: "My company is willing to assist the pasha in his work and fully cooperate."

…

After seeing Jason off, Talaat breathed out slowly. Everything was still within the plan, and the hat Hoover finally sent played a big role.

It's really ironic. Those immortal soldiers originally wanted to kill him, but in the end they helped him suppress the horse bandits, and they were able to use them again with the banner.

He picked up the water glass and took a sip. Before he could put it down, the captain of the Camp Guard hurried in and shouted: "Master Pasha, Mr. Fourth is back!"

"Cough cough cough!"

The clear water came out of the boy's mouth, he quickly put down the water glass, got up and ran outside.

As soon as I got out of the tent, I bumped into Zhou Jinru.

Zhou Jinru smiled and said, "Are you worried about my safety, or are you worried about me walking away?"

Talat wiped his mouth and said seriously: "I'm worried about your safety."

"thank you, I know now."

When Zhou Jinru came back, he walked around the camp. The order was relatively stable. People came and went occasionally. Not far away was the temporary camp of the Hoover Horse Bandits.

It seems that Hoover originally planned to use his own death to save the remaining people, but unfortunately he did not die.

After understanding the general situation, Zhou Jinru asked:

"So how do you plan to deal with these families?"

"Take your time, there will always be flaws."

"You have to be careful of them jumping over the wall. There are always people who are planning to take risks. But it doesn't matter. In a few days, I will send someone to you as a bodyguard. With him, he can protect your safety."

Talat asked curiously: "Who?"

"A man reborn."

…

"This is what you look like now. Your trauma is very serious and has almost changed your appearance, but at least you survived."

Kelsey held a mirror in her hand, which reflected an ugly face, and it was impossible to distinguish his original appearance.

The man's voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been cut: "You're right, at least I'm still alive."

He died once and lived again. People who crawled out of hell always have some kind of desire for life.

Zhou Jinru, who was standing nearby, said softly: "You have to think of a name for yourself, because Hoover Benjamin is dead. Dead people cannot be resurrected, otherwise they will attract the Immortal Army."

"Joan."

The man uttered a word.

He added: "My mother used to have this name, but she later abandoned it."

…

I don’t know since when, there was a man in black named Qiong beside the young Pasha. He was also wrapped in a black cloak and also wearing a metal mask. His mysterious appearance made people suspect that he was the Immortal Army.

Talaat did not ask the man's identity because he was busy with something.

In an open space somewhere in the oasis territory, Captain Camp Guard was leading his men to dig a hole. Talaat and Zhou Jinru were chatting not far away.

"Mr. Fourth, do you remember the red willow tree I told you about?"

Zhou Jinru nodded: "Remember, you plan to plant a lot of red willow trees?"

"That's what my hometown looks like, but I don't think about it anymore. This is an oasis territory. My territory doesn't need so many red willow trees."

Talat took two steps forward, took a small sapling from the guard, and said with a smile: "This is the sapling of the red willow tree. Come help me, and we will plant it together."

Planting trees is a technical job, straightening the saplings, filling the soil, and watering them. After a series of tasks were completed, Talaat was panting from exhaustion.

"Will it take a long time for it to grow up?"

"About ten years, maybe it can grow faster. The lifespan of a red willow tree is generally 120 years. It can grow very big. The crown of the tree is like an umbrella canopy. The hanging willow branches can bloom during the flowering period.

It produces red flowers.”

Talat looked expectantly at the tamarisk tree planted by his own hands.

He said abruptly: "Mr. Fourth, are you planning to leave?"

Zhou Jinru nodded: "Yes."

There is no threat to the young Pasha's life, and he has become the ruler of the oasis territory. He has achieved a staged victory, and he can complete the next work alone.

"when?"

"today."

Talaat was lost for a while: "So fast?"

"Talaat Pasha, there is a saying in my hometown, which is to help the horse and give him a ride. I have done all the things I have to do, and the rest is what you promised me, to be a good Pasha and a great one.

Pasha."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jinru took a few more glances at the young red willow sapling. Although it was still very fragile, its roots had already fallen to the ground, and it was only a matter of time before it would grow vigorously.

He turned around and left, the setting sun behind him like blood, lengthening his reflection.

Talaat stood still and watched Mr. Fourth leave until he was far away. The young man chased after him, shouting at the top of his lungs as he ran:

"Just go! I want to be Sargon's greatest pasha! I want my people to live and work in peace and contentment! I want to be Sargon's most powerful pasha!"

The man waved his hand and disappeared at the end of the sunset.

…

"You came late, I thought you didn't want to leave."

The silver-haired film woman was adjusting the reins of the draft horse and reinforcing the ropes in the carriage room.

The man wearing a mask looked at her in surprise, and the traditional Sargonian women's clothing created a stunning visual effect on her body.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's go. By the way, Kelsey, you look so gorgeous!"
