Chapter Eighty-Three: The Return of the Ou Master
Xiao Shi symbolically asked the three of them about some simple situations in the Moqu Oasis and Gongcheng, and then asked Liyuan and Yi Qingzhuo to leave first, and went to the guest room arranged in the headquarters to rest, but let Azule stay alone.
Azule was a little nervous, after all, this trip was a combination of arbitrary actions, military risks, and thousands of miles of escape. In front of everyone, Xiao Shi may have some scruples, and now that he is left alone, Azule is mentally prepared to be criticized.
"You know you're going to be scolded, right? You've made too many mistakes in your line of work, and if I hadn't informed the Great Chief, you would have died in the Far North, and if I hadn't let the Trap Hall improvise caravans to wander around to attract attention, you would have been caught long ago. You don't think about it carefully, the cavalry is infested along the way, how can the bandits of the small cottage dare to openly chase after the merchants?" Xiao Shi seemed to be very angry, and his tone quickened slightly.
"Master, the apprentice still thinks that his luck is really so good, why did the big leader who came and go without a trace appear when he couldn't defeat the orcs, and why when we died on the grassland, all we saw were small groups of men and horses, it turned out that they were forced to divide their troops. Azule replied with a hippie smile.
"What do you think? There is no danger involved in seeking things, and there is no danger in seeking things. There can't be so many luck in the world, and it's true that it's up to heaven to make things happen, but the most important thing is that people are doing things. Have you forgotten all the things I have painstakingly taught? Xiao Shi said.
"Master, dissipate your anger, they all say that ginger is still old and spicy, my little seedling will definitely grow under your big tree, but don't pull out the seedling to help it grow." Azul still said with a grin, but the sincerity was palpable.
was robbed by Azule, Xiao Shi was not angry, and laughed happily.
Azul took the opportunity to ask, "Master, in the face of this situation, what should we do next?"
"All three parties are waiting for a chaotic opportunity, and why don't we, seventeen years ago, we are also waiting for such an opportunity. Xiao Shi said with great feeling.
Maybe Xiao Shi only said half a sentence, but for Azule, he couldn't understand that this opportunity is closely related to him, and even related to the fate of too many people.
"Master, what is Azule going to do?" Azule asked sincerely.
"You have to be the one who has risen to the top, you have to be the one who has the strongest will, you have to be the one who dares to be the one who dares to be. Xiao Shi suddenly said as if he had a different face, firm, confident, and expectant.
Azule suddenly understood that what he could imagine was far from meeting Xiao Shi's minimum requirements for him.
"Master, I know that all of this is actually for me, and although I am not ready, I will definitely work hard to achieve that goal. Azul said eagerly.
"It's time for you to meet the top of the Heavenly Machine Alliance, but before that, we have one more person to wait, someone who must wait. Xiao Shi said meaningfully.
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. In the next few days, Azule, Liyuan and Yi Qingzhuo wandered around the headquarters, which was small but closely distributed and staffed. Among the three people, Yi Qingzhuo is relatively more familiar, and there are many people she knows, basically all of whom are elders.
Time passed quickly between wandering, practicing martial arts, and asking for advice, but Azule was keenly aware that the number of people at the headquarters was obviously increasing.
At noon on this day, Azule was talking to Liyuan about the gains of martial arts training in recent days, but was urgently summoned by Xiao Shi.
The escort who led the way did not take himself to the council hall, but to the place where Xiao Shi summoned the guests alone, and Azule wondered, could it be that the person Xiao Shi was waiting for appeared?
The sound of Azule's footsteps appeared in the corridor, and the room already remembered the sound of Xiao Shi urgently calling him into the room.
Azul trotted and pushed the door straight in.
What Azule saw were three people, one was Master Xiao, one was actually Master Cell, and one was an old man. The old man has white hair fluttering, but he is in good spirits; he is old, but his face is ruddy, and his eyes are bright and restrained; he has a Chinese face, a high nose, a tall figure, and is dressed in gray.
Azul was calm, even though he had already guessed that the white-haired old man might be the one Xiao Shi had been waiting for.
Azule saluted the three of them and said, "Master Xiao, Azule has been summoned to meet you. Master Cell, it's been a long time, and the style is the same. What is the name of this old gentleman, the junior Azule is polite!"
"Asule, this senior is the left military master of the Tianji Alliance, and he is also the master of casting, and he is also my uncle, known as 'Ou Yezi', you call him the old man Ou Shi like everyone else. Xiao Shiyu said excitedly and respectfully.
Azule has long heard of the left and right military divisions, the right military division is his own master, the left military division has always been very mysterious, and he has also intersected with Ou Shi because of the reason for sword casting.
"Get up, child, I can't imagine that this day will come so slowly and so quickly. Ou Shi smacked his right hand and said softly.
But Azule felt that there was an incomparably powerful, but full of majestic and righteous power, and he helped himself up as he was saluting, and he had no power to fight back at all.
"I was travelling west to Dijon, and I was intrigued by the local customs, especially the witchcraft worshipped by the locals, and I intended to communicate with what they called the Great Wizard. Later, when I heard that someone had made a three-foot bronze sword, I sent a message to Cell, asking him to find out and tell me the general situation. Later, when I heard that Jade Pei was alive, I knew I had to come back, so I asked Cell, who was waiting for me at the headquarters of the Heavenly Machine Alliance. Ou Shi roughly introduced.
"Master, the person who forged the three-foot bronze sword is also Azul. Cell, whispered from the side.
Ou Shi nodded, and said to Azule: "Take out the jade pendant and I'll take a look." ”
Azule took out the jade pendant and respectfully handed it to Ou Shi.
Ou Shi put the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it for a while, and suddenly took a breath at the jade pendant, but this breath turned into a cold mist after it came out of Ou Shi's mouth, directly enveloping the jade pendant, and actually lifted the jade pendant in Ou Shi's hand out of thin air, as if floating in the air. A moment later, another stream of air appeared in Ou Shi's palm, dispersing the mist around the jade pendant. The jade pendant fell into the hands of Ou Shi, which was more shiny and transparent, like a freshly cut jade.
"Old friend, it's been forty years now. Forty years ago, it was I who carved this jade pendant. Ou Shi said affectionately, his tone heavy, as if he had returned to decades ago.
"Azule, Xiao Tianqin, they have been looking for you for more than ten years, I hope you don't let them down, you don't want to give an explanation to these thousands of people if you don't do it for yourself. Ou Shi said solemnly.
Azule was stunned when he came to see Ou Shi fiddling with the jade pendant, but suddenly listened to Ou Shi's advice to himself, quickly came back to his senses, and solemnly nodded in agreement.
"When we meet for the first time, I want to give you two gifts. Ou Shi said a little mysteriously.
When Azule heard the word "greeting ceremony", his face was very serious, but his heart was smiling.
