Chapter 70: Advice and hexagrams
On the way back to the manor, John bought several kinds of fish food that Quaker Bay fish liked.
In the manor Billy is riding a horse, and the various employees are also working.
When they saw John coming back, everyone who was busy saying hello, John motioned them to ignore their own work.
He came to the backyard of the manor, and as soon as he entered it, he saw Jakoda bathing his horse.
He will return to the clan the day after tomorrow.
"John? What's the matter with you?" Seeing John walking towards him, Jakota asked suspiciously.
"No, no, no, I'm fine this time. I want to invite you to go fishing. Do you have time?" Originally, he wanted to go by himself, but after seeing Jakeda, John wanted to have a good talk with him.
"Fishing?" Jakeda asked all the way.
"Yes, do you have time?" John nodded.
"Well, well, there's nothing to do anyway." Yakeda nodded after thinking for a while.
Then the two headed towards Quaker Bay with Kane's gear and bucket.
"Why do you suddenly want to go fishing?" asked Jakda, who was riding a horse.
"I just want to go there all of a sudden, I don't have much reason, and I want to chat with you." John said uncertainly.
"How's your fishing skills, Yakta?"
Jakota glanced at John and told him.
"Compared to my fishing skills, I have a better chance of catching fish with a harpoon."
"Take your time." John took Jakeda to the fishing spot a few days ago, but Kolov was not there.
"Uh." John sighed.
"Is there a problem?" Jakota asked while looking at John.
"I met a friend here a few days ago. He has been to many places and has his own opinions on many things. Maybe he can give you some advice." John talked about the experience of meeting Kolov the other day.
"Then what advice do you have?" Jakeda asked.
"I suggest you go to the east for help," John said as he loaded the bait.
"Why?" Yakeda naturally didn't understand.
"Because Colonel Favors, the manager of the Western Army, has great opinions on you, he even wants to trick you into fighting him." John further explained the reason.
"Why? They have already won." Jakota looked at John and continued to ask.
"Did his relatives die in that war?"
"No, in short, if you don't go to the east to seek help, you will eventually go to war with him under his persecution."
"Why? I don't understand."
"Because he has a ridiculous nickname." John dragged the fishing line to tell the problem of the western manager.
"What is it?" Yakeda also took the bait, but he ignored it.
"A general who has never been to the battlefield." John caught a four-pound red trout, unhooked it, and threw it into the bucket.
"He hates the title."
"A general who hasn't been on the battlefield?" Yakeda thought for a while after hearing it, and then said suddenly.
"He needs a war victory to show himself!"
"Yes, that's it. You can only go to the east to find people who are willing to help you." John nodded.
"They are a group, how could they ignore our help?" Yakeda said after thinking for a while.
"You always have to try, this is one of the few ways you can do it at this stage." John got the bait again, and then threw the fishing rod out.
"He's really shameless." Yakeda said angrily.
"This is their normal state." John said calmly.
"What should I do?" Yakeda looked at John and asked.
"You have a contact officer and asked him to go to the east for help. He is better at talking than you." John thought of Lieutenant Monroe.
"And you need to prepare enough money. They are very greedy, and it may end up being empty. Your situation is very difficult." John didn't know if it was useful, but it was indeed the only way for the Indians now.
As for the war with the army in the west? It was a one-sided slaughter, and the gap in weapons could not be filled by bravery.
"Looking for help from some people who are hostile and disliked by Colonel Favors, although it may not be successful, but showing some of the things you know to the enemy can make the enemy start to fear you, and you will have more time to deal with it." John. Go on.
"He won't start a war without a reason without a proper reason. He needs you to do it first, and then the benevolent Colonel Favors is forced to fight back, and then a perfect war victory." John mocked again after he finished speaking.
"And then wash away that ridiculous name."
"I think, I have to act immediately, I have to tell the patriarch this. He won't get anything in return for compromising blindly." Yakeda said after thinking for a while.
"Are you healed?" John didn't object to this.
"It's okay, I have to act immediately, John, I'm leaving. Thank you for your advice." The more Jakeda thought about it, the more anxious he became.
"Go ahead, there's a train going to the Indian reservation in just over an hour, and you'll be able to return to your clan probably tomorrow night." John nodded.
"Thank you for your suggestion John, thank you." Jakeda thanked John several times.
"I thought we didn't need to talk about this." John's face was exaggerated in surprise.
"Haha, you don't need this to be bored with us." Jakeda chuckled. Then he packed his things and rode away.
Watched leaving Jakota John without moving and then fishing.
Then came the sound of footsteps from the side.
John turned his head to look. Not far away, Kolov was walking, and he handed John a good-quality cigar.
John bluntly took it and set it on fire.
"When did you come?" John asked after taking a deep breath.
"I've been resting in that position, ready to go back, you two just didn't notice it." Kolov sat down beside John.
"You sound familiar with the military?" Kolov said.
"There is some understanding, but that's all." John was a little surprised by the quality of this cigar, which was about to catch up with the ones Mr. Edwin smoked.
"What a great cigar." John exclaimed.
"I think so too." Kolov nodded in agreement.
"What do you think about my friend?" John asked after two breaths.
"Maybe I'm going to disappoint you, I can't give you any good advice," Kolov said.
"Because my suggestion may be to continue to resist, but the Indians are not qualified to resist now."
"Resistance? I thought you would use a more stable method." John joked.
"I've always been very tough in front of enemies who oppress others. I've also met Colonel Favors a few times. Those rumors that were bad for him, I think are the most pertinent comments on him." Kolov joked, The administrator of the Western Army, Colonel Favors.
"Those comments? I only know that title." John was a little curious.
"Cowardly, weak, and sensitive. If it wasn't for the absolute advantage of the federal government's army, his performance would not be so tough. Cough cough cough~~" Kolov took out the small vial and took a few pills.
"He just has a good family."
"That's his ability too." John said?
"What?" Kolov was puzzled.
"The ability to reincarnate."
"Hahahaha, that makes sense." Korov laughed.
"Koloff, do you know anyone?" John asked.
"What do you mean? If you say you know someone who can help your friends, then there's nothing I can do. They don't like me." Kolov said.
"Ah, that's it, there's no way out." John also asked.
"But I have several journalist friends from well-known newspapers in Saint Denis. I can tell them about this. They are definitely interested in these things, and they have their own positions." Kolov said after thinking about it.
"Really? That's great." John just asked with a possible plan, because he felt that it was normal for Klov to meet a special person or two after having been to so many places.
"People who have a position are always likable." John praised two sentences.
"I think it depends on which side you are on," Kolov said.
"Well, it makes sense."
"John."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"You seem to be the inspector of Blackwater Town."
"um, yes."
"Is the work easy?"
"Fortunately, most things are handled by subordinates, and I don't have much to live."
"Your director seems to have successfully encircled a group of robbers some time ago." Kolov suddenly talked about what happened more than a month ago.
"If there is no success, the most important thing is to run away, but it cannot be said that it is a failure."
"Your director's strength is very strong, and the civilization of Heishui Town has been visible to the naked eye for the past ten years."
"Well, he can be considered a legend in the West."
"Indeed, I have heard his name in many places." Kolov nodded~www.NovelMTL.com~ I also heard some secrets about him, I don't know if you are interested. "Koloff watched John suddenly gossip.
"Secret news?" John showed a look of listening.
"His fortune was in a gangster raid, when their sheriff took them to siege a group of robbers who were looting a caravan. The caravan was going to flee with a lot of cash in exchange for looted goods, but they got the wrong one. News, the number of robbers is much more than they think." Kolov jokingly talked about the secret information he got while walking in the west.
"And then? The director turned the tide by himself?" John asked appropriately.
"Of course not. At that time, they and the robbers were all dead, and your chief was injured and passed out. When you woke up, you were already in the clinic." Kolov smiled disdainfully.
"Then what?"
"Then he stepped up to the position of director with his excellent ability." Kolov said with a smile, but John felt that there was a hint of mockery in this smile.
"He was the only one alive at that time?" John asked with a frown when he heard the story.
"Yes, only he is still alive. But these are the secret stories I heard from those journalist friends, and I don't know if they are true or not." Kolov snorted.
It's true that there is no way to tell whether it is true or false, but there is basically such a thing, and the process is left to the people.
"This kind of thing is just a pleasure to listen to, not many people take it seriously." Kolov waved his hand.
"Yeah." It's good to hear the boss's gossip, John nodded and thought.
"Would you like to Bibi?" Kolov looked at John and said.
"You said you would let me have a few."
"Of course, hahaha." Korov chuckled.
