Chapter 429 That is more than ten thousand times yours!
When Victor and James heard Zachary Taylor's question, they did not have doubts like him. Instead, they were full of admiration and pride. From the moment Chen Mo appeared in front of them on the night of their escape, Chen Mo was in their hearts.
The image in the novel has always been that of an omnipotent being, who predicts events like a god, and seems to be able to predict things before they happen. Nothing can escape his eyes!
James glanced at the short and frustrated old Taylor who was riding on the horse with a puzzled look on his face. Then he thought about Chen Mo's calm and calm attitude at all times, and his seemingly omniscient aura. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zachary Taylor.
, said in a arrogant tone.
"Our master is very powerful!"
Zachary Taylor naturally felt the disdain for him in James' tone, gritted his teeth angrily, and asked James angrily.
"You brat! I really want to know, what exactly does your master do? Is he more powerful than me, a general?"
Zachary Taylor didn't want to lose face in front of the two little guys, so he revealed his identity as a general.
But he seemed to have forgotten that he had just resigned from the military and was no longer a general.
The two of them didn't bother with him about this. After all, he was indeed a genuine general and a "great hero" in the U.S.-Mexico War. He had a high reputation in the eyes of the army and the people.
But even so, in the hearts of Victor and James, he is still far less powerful than Chen Mo.
"Old Taylor, you can't even beat us, and you still want to compete with our master?"
"you!"
Victor spoke without mercy. Zachary Taylor was so angry that he wanted to beat this guy to death, but as Victor said, he was no match for the two little guys, so he had to
He patted the broad back of the old horse "Old Whitney" under his crotch with his raised hand.
But soon, Zachary Taylor realized the meaning of Victor's words.
"You mean, your master is more powerful than you two?"
Zachary Taylor said this with disbelief on his face. The strength of Victor and James already made him feel inhuman. There were even rumors in the army that the two were invulnerable and unable to kill. This shows the strength of the two.
Zachary Taylor has been in the army for more than 40 years and has met countless people, but he has never seen anyone with stronger force than the two of them. He has never seen anyone who can compare with them or even be slightly weaker.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zachary Taylor would never have believed that human power could be so powerful.
Zachary Taylor always believed that the two of them must have been gifted by God, so that they could have greater strength and "good luck" than normal people, and they had gone through hundreds of battles without getting hurt.
Now that he heard that the two people actually said that someone was more powerful than them, Zachary Taylor naturally couldn't accept it.
The strength of Victor and James is already inhuman. What kind of existence is stronger than them?
The legendary "demigod"?
But that seems to be Greek mythology, right? Their Anglican Church believes in God.
After retracting his thoughts, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but look at the two of them and saw Victor and James nodding at the same time. Zachary Taylor, who had a certain understanding of the two of them, knew that the two of them disdained to lie, so he had to accept a
In fact, there are really people who are more powerful than these two violent beasts!
"What does he do?"
Zachary Taylor's face straightened and he asked the two of them seriously. His curiosity about the "master" they called him became more intense than ever before.
"Our master is a farmer!"
James' answer was still full of pride. It seemed that as long as it was Chen Mo, even if he was a robber, he would say it proudly in a tone full of pride.
"Farmer? I am also a farmer, okay!"
Hearing that James said that the mysterious "master" was a farmer, Zachary Taylor breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel the urge to compare.
"Why don't you come with me to Kentucky? My cotton plantation is very big."
It seems like he said it casually, but in fact Zachary Taylor really hopes that Victor and James can go back with him. He still likes these two people who have upright and forthright personalities.
But he also knew that it was basically impossible based on the expressions on the two people's faces when they talked about that "master".
"How big is your plantation?"
James asked after hearing this.
Sure enough, the two of them directly ignored his previous sentence, seemingly without even thinking about it, which made him feel a little disappointed.
But after hearing James' question, he still answered proudly.
"It's not very big, just over three thousand acres."
This cotton plantation was already quite large at the time. After all, there were no professional agricultural machinery for large-scale farm operations at that time, and all relied on manpower. In order to cultivate this cotton plantation, Zachary Taylor purchased it.
With hundreds of black slaves, he was considered a relatively large plantation owner in Kentucky.
In New York, there should not be such a large plantation.
Zachary Taylor was full of confidence in his plantation, thinking that he had finally surpassed that mysterious and powerful "master" in some aspect. Who knew that after hearing what he said, Victor and James looked at each other in confusion for a long time.
No words were spoken.
When Zachary Taylor saw that the two of them were silent, he thought that the master they respected so much was being compared with him. The two of them were embarrassed to say it, so they urged him proudly.
"Why are you silent? How big is your master's farm?"
James listened to his questioning, turned his head and looked over, made a rough calculation in his mind, and then slowly spoke.
"It's not very big, it's probably more than 10,000 times yours!"
Zachary Taylor's eyes widened when he heard this. He looked at James, who had a serious face, and then turned to look at Victor, who was showing two pointed fangs and looking gloating, and felt confused in his heart.
Are you kidding me?
