Chapter 072: Analysis

This is a very unlucky phrase.

An Lan looked at her incomparably familiar handwriting and was silent for a long time.

She had already met him six years ago.

She grew up under his gaze, admired him, and fell in love with him, but what kind of situation was he in at that time? What is he preparing? Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know it entirely. She had thought she knew, but in reality, all she knew was what he told her to know.

When she lost her mind slightly, Bai Yan suddenly spoke: "There is no word to leave a way back for yourself." ”

An Lan paused and turned her head to look at him: "What do you think?" ”

Bai Yan lowered his eyes to look at her, and said lightly: "If the creation of heaven and earth refers to the fragrance realm, Bai Guanghan also has the talent of the incense realm, but he would rather destroy it, and even want to destroy the entire Changxiang Palace, there is such a big grudge in his heart, it is normal that he will not leave a way back for himself." ”

An Lan was stunned, got up from his arms, and looked at him a little blankly.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, raised his hand and scratched her nose, "Scared?" ”

An Lan raised her hand to touch his face, for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you leave yourself a way back?" ”

Bai Yan looked at her quietly, and his voice was gentle: "The person Mr. An wants to ask is no longer there, you and I are him, but in fact, now I am just Bai Yan, and I can't give you an answer." ”

What was more powerless than that, and what made her more fortunate than this fact.

This fact, she can only accept, otherwise she is not qualified to continue with him.

She looked at him for a long time, and slowly lowered her hand: "I know. ”

As if he couldn't bear to see her show such an expression, he pointed to the sentence in her hand, and continued: "Have you ever wondered why he wrote this sentence at that time? Why is it so coincidental that at this time, let Lu Yu find it and send it over. ”

An Lan frowned slightly: "What do you think?" ”

Bai Yan said: "Six years ago, Bai Guanghan's situation was not good, it can be described as a crisis, the power and personal grievances made him have no way out, the mountain soul, maybe he found a way to achieve his goal, but the price is very likely to be the burning of jade." Therefore, after your appearance gave him another possibility, he shelved this plan about the 'Mountain Soul'. ”

An Lan thought for a moment before saying, "You mean, at that time, Mr. Guanghan's 'Mountain Soul' plan was likely to have another conspirator, and it was very likely that he was from southern Xinjiang?" ”

Bai Yan said: "Almost all of the more than 20 kinds of incense materials recorded in this account book are from southern Xinjiang, and some incense materials should be extremely precious and rare. In southern Xinjiang, because of the existence of Xianggu and the high priest, the Changxiangdian has no influence in southern Xinjiang, and almost all the incense materials in southern Xinjiang are in the hands of Xianggu. Therefore, even if you are a great incense master, if you want to get such precious incense materials, you must find Xianggu. ”

An Lan was shocked by his analysis and speculation, and at the same time felt mixed by his indifferent and calm attitude.

Bai Yan continued: "The more than 20 kinds of incense materials recorded in this account book are the same as those on Huang Xiangshi's incense recipe?" ”

An Lan looked at it again, thought about it again, and nodded: "Yes, there are five kinds of incense materials that are the same. ”

Bai Yan asked, "Which five?" ”

An Lan only gave it to him, and Bai Yan said, "Then I will mainly check these five kinds of incense materials." ”

An Lan asked, "What do you mean ......?"

Bai Yan said: "The mountain soul is very likely to be one of these five kinds of incense materials?" ”

An Lan was surprised: "Why? ”

"They are here for the 'Mountain Soul', and now they are doing everything possible to calculate the incense recipe in the hands of Master Huang Xiang, and it is very likely that the incense recipe is related to the 'Mountain Soul'. And this account book also mentions the 'mountain soul', and the more than 20 kinds of incense materials recorded above are all from southern Xinjiang, and five of them are the same as the incense materials used in the incense recipe of Huang Xiangshi. Bai Yan said this, paused, and then continued, "Such the same, the possibility of a coincidence, is not very likely. ”

An Lan pondered for a while, and also felt that what he said made sense, but after a while, she suddenly asked: "But, why did Lu Yu hand over this account book to you?" Is it really just to see me? How can she be sure that you will show me this book? ”

"There are only two answers, either they are arranged and calculated, or, as you say, she is just trying to get your attention and give herself a chance to plead." When Bai Yan said this, he smiled, "It's just that you still haven't given her a chance to defend herself." ”

An Lan glanced at him and said lightly: "I demoted her to the maid of the outer hall, do you think I am making a big fuss?" ”

Bai Yan smiled and said, "How come, she is your person, how you deal with it is what you should do." ”

An Lan glanced at him again and said lukewarmly, "It seems that she went to you to cry." ”

Bai Yan said: "I said a few words. ”

An Lan said with a smile: "You have the patience to listen to some irrelevant words." ”

Bai Yan looked at her and whispered, "Have you eaten it?" ”

An Lan's face immediately turned cold, but a smile slowly appeared on Bai Yan's face, and that smile flowed into her eyes, making her can't help but feel a little annoyed.

……

Three days later, Lu Yuan checked the more than 20 kinds of incense materials on Huang Xiangshi's incense recipe and entered the Tianxuan Palace. Among them, the five kinds of incense materials specially proposed by Bai Yan are also from southern Xinjiang, two of which are collected by Huang Xiangshi from incense merchants at a high price, and the other three are in the list of incense materials to be collected by Tianxuan Hall every year.

It's just that the two incense materials that Huang Xiangshi received at a high price, because of the relationship between the smoke and dance, were known by Liu Xuanji, and Liu Xuanji also added these two kinds of incense to the list of incense materials in Tianxuan Palace. And Huang Xiangshi immediately sent the two remaining incense materials in his hand to Liu Xuanji.

An Lan asked, "Where is the merchant who did business with Huang Xiangshi from?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "This person's surname is Qian, his name is Qian Han, his father is from Chang'an, and his mother is from southern Xinjiang, so he travels back and forth between southern Xinjiang and Chang'an all the year round, specializing in collecting some strange fragrances, and then looking for those people in Chang'an City who like to collect strange fragrances and sell them at a high price." ”

An Lan asked, "Huang Xiangshi is very familiar with him?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "Huang Xiangshi is his old customer, the two have known each other for nearly 20 years, and the relationship is good." I heard Qian Han say that if Huang Xiangshi lacked any incense materials, if the incense hall did not have them for the time being, he would ask him to find them, and the price was very fair, so he was also willing to communicate with Huang Xiangshi. ”

"In this way, when Huang Xiangshi was mixing the smoke dance, Qian Han should have known?"

That's right, at that time, Huang Xiangshi came to him for the sake of Hanyan Dance, and he used to ask a few words, but that Huang Xiangshi had not yet named Hanyan Dance, but just said that he wanted to mix a new incense. Qian Han was very dedicated, and personally went to southern Xinjiang twice for the few incense materials that Huang Xiangshi wanted. Lu Yuan said this, thought for a while, and said, "However, now Qian Han is a little estranged from Huang Xiangshi, and the relationship between the two seems to have stiffened for a long time. ”

"Why?"

"Qian Han likes Miss Huang and once mentioned it to Huang Xiangshi, but Huang Xiangshi thought he was old and didn't agree." (To be continued.) )
