Chapter 69 Invitation and Witness
Ouyang Ming came to the Chinese army camp. Although this was not his first time here, every time he came to the Chinese army camp, he would feel a sense of trepidation and fear.
Of course, at this point, that feeling is naturally gone.
"Master Ou." A familiar voice sounded, Jiang Chengwei walked quickly, and said courteously: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time."
Ouyang Ming asked in surprise, "What are you waiting for me for?"
Jiang Chengwei laughed and said: "I heard that you are coming, and all the fire chiefs want to come to pick you up and witness your demeanor. But I said, I am the only one in the middle camp who shares weal and woe with you, and I am the only one on this errand. Besides, who else can afford it. That's why the general let me come here." He looked proud, as if it was such a great thing to be able to welcome Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming couldn't help laughing. He naturally understood that there was a lot of water in this sentence. However, being able to let Jiang Chengwei put his face down in such a way and flatter him unscrupulously made him quite happy.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Forget it, after I go back, you can send three high-grade arrows over."
Jiang Chengwei was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master Ou."
He did everything possible to grab this task, and flattered him without limit, naturally in order to get the Explosive Arrow.
However, he never thought that it would be so easy to get what he wanted.
In fact, this was also Ouyang Ming's realization of the unity of nature and man from the old craftsman, and he was so happy that he couldn't be more happy. At this time, Jiang Chengwei came up to flatter him, and he would naturally get rich rewards.
However, this is a bursting arrow. Although it is powerful, it is a one-time consumable. That's why Ouyang Ming is so easy to talk about.
As long as Jiang Chengwei used it and became addicted to it, he would understand Ouyang Ming's real purpose.
As Jiang Chengwei entered the middle camp all the way, and came to a martial arts hall, Jiang Chengwei put away his smile and stepped forward to report solemnly.
After a while, he took Ouyang Ming and him into the hall.
In this spacious hall, the eyes of the two men immediately fixed on Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming's expression tightened slightly. Naturally, everyone in the barracks knew these two. Deng Zhicai, the chief general of the Chinese army, and Wu Guotu, an officer of the personal guard.
The eyes of the two of them are as real as they seem to be able to see through everything. However, what made them feel a little strange was that Ouyang Ming seemed a little nervous facing them, but at the same time seemed to have an erratic expression, as if he was absent-minded.
These two different feelings appear in one person, but they are so harmonious. Even though the two of them have seen countless people, they are still a little amazed at the moment.
However, they didn't know that under their deliberate probing eyes, Ouyang Ming's vigilance was aroused and the purple energy in his mind was aroused. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such weird feelings.
"You are Ouyang Ming, yes, you did a good job in the dense forest this time." Deng Zhicai nodded slowly, and said, "How much of that kind of explosive arrow can you forge every day?"
Ouyang Ming was stunned, he thought for a while, and said: "Forging explosive arrows requires a special kind of power, and you can forge three to five arrows in the next day. But..." He paused, and said: "If you If they all forge explosive arrows, then I won’t have the time and energy to learn new skills, and I won’t be able to complete the tasks stipulated in the Equipment Battalion.”
"Hmph!" Wu Guotu snorted suddenly, and said, "The general asked you something, you just answer it, you don't need to explain so much." His voice was cold and harsh, as if everyone owed him thirty thousand taels of silver like.
If Ouyang Ming was still the helper he used to be, he would be so frightened that he couldn't even stand still. But at this moment, he just lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye. Although he didn't refute, he didn't show the slightest timidity either.
"Hey, Guotu, the Equipment Battalion has quota tasks every month.
As long as he's done. "Deng Zhi waved his hand and said: "Ouyangming, if you are free, help me get some bursting arrows, if not, then forget it. "
Ouyang Ming was taken aback, it was unexpected that General Deng was so eloquent.
He bowed and said, "Yes, thank you General for your understanding."
Deng Zhicai nodded slightly, and said suddenly: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Zheng."
"yes."
After a while, two people came out from behind the door in the hall. One of them was Zheng Ziwen, an appraiser who once had a relationship with Ouyang Ming.
Deng Zhicai smiled and said: "Brother Lin, Mr. Zheng, this is Ou Yangming, the youngest arms blacksmith in our army." He raised his forehead to Ou Yangming and said, "These two are the big shopkeepers of the Yiju Pavilion here. Lin Yichen, this is Zheng Ziwen, the appraiser of the Yiju Pavilion. The two of them came to you and wanted to ask you to do a favor."
Ou Yangming hesitated for a moment, and said: "General, if you give me an order, I, as an arms blacksmith, must obey."
Wu Guotu raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought to himself, this kid looks young, but he is actually quite sensible, and he actually gave the right to choose to the general, which is indeed a big deal. However, with the general's ability and status, how could he care about such flattery?
Deng Zhicai couldn't help laughing, and said: "Ouyangming, shopkeeper Lin and I are brothers and sisters. If you can help him, that would be great."
Ouyang Ming suddenly realized, no wonder the business of that shop called IKEA Pavilion is so booming, everyone from ordinary soldiers to generals of each battalion are the customers of the shop. It turns out that the real reason is here.
However, he remained calm and said, "Master Lin, what are your orders?"
Lin Yichen smiled and said: "Master Ou, I heard that you are very good at appraisal, and our IKEA has recently harvested a batch of equipment, and I would like to ask you to help appraise it." He paused, and said: "Of course, once the appraisal is completed , we will offer you a hundred taels of gold and any equipment that you have identified."
Ouyang Ming's heart skipped a beat, one hundred taels of gold? He heard right.
In the past two months, I have worked hard to create several pieces of attribute equipment for the Equipment Battalion, but Kang Weibo only gave three hundred taels of silver notes in disguise. However, Lin Yichen's shopkeeper was so generous that he offered a hundred taels of gold when he opened his mouth.
If it was exchanged for bank notes, it would be worth a thousand taels of silver, so he couldn't help being tempted.
However, he understood better that the money might not be easy to get.
Seeing the hesitation in Ouyang Ming's eyebrows, Deng Zhi smiled and said: "Ouyang Ming, this is a rare opportunity, and it will greatly benefit you in expanding your knowledge."
Ouyang Ming smiled wryly, and said: "The general is right, since that's the case, I agree."
For him, this matter was actually not too difficult. Moreover, Deng Zhicai was so biased, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the army, he couldn't refuse.
Lin Yichen laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go there."
However, before Ouyang Ming refused, Zheng Ziwen shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper, let's stay here for another three days."
Lin Yichen was slightly taken aback, he said in surprise: "Master Zheng, what do you think?" He said solemnly: "This batch of goods has already been urged once by the general altar, so we can't delay for too long."
Zheng Ziwen said with a smile: "It's okay, since Master Ou is helping, even if there is a three-day delay, it's completely in time."
Ouyang Ming thought to himself, this guy has so much confidence in me.
Lin Yichen hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Zheng, can you tell me the reason?"
Zheng Ziwen said with a smile: "I just met a colleague who invited me to participate in a test witness. His master is..." He whispered in Lin Yichen's ear, and said: "This matter, I It’s really impossible to deny.”
Lin Yichen's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Is that really his disciple?"
Zheng Ziwen said rather displeasedly: "How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing. Hehe, although he is not a direct disciple, he is still a named disciple anyway. If you don't believe me, let's go now."
Lin Yichen quickly reached out to stop him, and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, don't be angry, I just asked one more question in passing. Since we are that disciple, let's stay for another three days."
Deng Zhicai pondered deeply, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "What you are talking about, could it be..." He pointed to the sky and then to the ground.
Lin Yichen nodded slowly and said, "Exactly."
Deng Zhicai smiled wryly: "It turns out that he is the disciple of the old man, so it's no wonder."
Lin Yichen chuckled, was startled for a while, and said, "Master Zheng, you are an appraiser, why did he keep you as a witness?" His gaze fell on Deng Zhicai, and he said, "There is such a good The witnesses are here, why not invite them?"
It is absolutely wishful thinking for ordinary people to invite the leader of an army to be a witness. However, if it was that disciple, the situation would be completely different. Deng Zhicai would definitely rush there at all costs.
However, Zheng Ziwen shook his head and said: "What they will compete in three days later is not a competition of martial arts, but a competition of forging equipment."
Ouyang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression became quite strange.
Zheng Ziwen's attainments in appraisal techniques are extremely high, if he is asked to make a judgment, naturally there will be no big mistakes.
However, it would be a bit ridiculous that they invited Zheng Ziwen's head, and they were still known to him.
Deng Zhicai said in surprise: "The competition for forging equipment, what's going on?"
Wu Guotu blushed slightly, and said, "General, I'm going to inquire now."
Obviously, although Ni Yunhong spread the news, after all, it only took half a day. Except for the special relationship between Dongying and Xiying, it seems that it has not spread to the ears of the chief general of the Chinese army.
However, Ou Yangming believed that with Ni Yunhong's means, he would never let the Chinese army battalion go.
He coughed lightly and said, "Captain Wu, there's no need to inquire."
Wu Guotu was startled, and then said: "Yes, I forgot that you are a member of the Equipment Battalion. What's going on?"
Ouyang Ming chuckled, and said: "In three days, I will compete with Master Ni Yunhong in forging equipment. I also invite the general and Captain Wu to come and be a witness."
Deng Zhicai: "..."
Wu Guotu: "..."
Lin Yichen and Zheng Ziwen: "..."
