Chapter 223: Incense Identification Contest (1)

On the day of Xiaoxia, Jian Ping rushed to Cixin with a team of secret guards to join them, looking like a dusty man, his tired eyes were full of excitement, and he saluted and said, "Master, it's done." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Well, hard work." Bai Yi said with a smile.

A team of secret guards stepped forward to salute Bai Yi, and Bai Yi pointed at Lin Bining and said to them: "Remember, from now on, protect her as if you were protecting me." ”

"Yes, Shizi." The Dark Guard replied in unison.

With a wave, a group of people dispersed, and Jian Ping also went down.

Lin Bining pointed outside and asked softly, "They are?" ”

"This is my father's secret guard, he knows that there are some dangers on our way, so he transferred it to me first." Bai Yi solved one thing, leaned back in the chair easily, and smiled with the corners of his mouth bent, "Before leaving Cloud Dragon City, I have sent a message to the dark guards to ask them to wait for Jian Ping in Changxing. When Jian Ping leads the killer of Renxintang to Changxing, he will catch a turtle in an urn. There are many masters of interrogation among the secret guards, and there is no one who does not confess after some means, and after finding the nest of Renxintang, they will be served in a pot. ”

Lin Bining was not much surprised after hearing this, she had already guessed a few points from Bai Yi's words before, and when she thought of the martial arts of those killers, she was slightly surprised: "I see that there are only twelve secret guards, I'm afraid it's not easy to exterminate Renxintang." ”

Bai Yi slowly explained: "Renxintang has killed many court officials in recent years, and the government has long wanted to get rid of them, but this group of people is very cunning and has never found their lair. In this encirclement and suppression operation, they were not the main force, and the main contributors were General Huaiyuan and his subordinates. ”

"General Huaiyuan?" Lin Bining thought for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, there are only three people who have been named General Huaiyuan right now, Gu Jianhui and General Gu are in charge of Sanming City, it can't be him." General Ye Huayi Ye is nearly fifty years old, and it shouldn't be him. Isn't it General Xu Yanqingxu, the second son of General Xu? ”

Bai Yi nodded and said, "Ning'er guessed well, it was Xu Yanqing." ”

"The tiger father has no dogs, and the Xu family will really live up to his reputation, and the killer organization also has a hand." She praised.

Yongrui 32 years of Sanming City lost, the old general Xu when the old strong, 65 years old commander, less than two months to recover the lost territory, who in the world does not know the old general, who does not know the prestige of the Xu general.

Bai Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Not every Xu family member is good at leading troops to fight. ”

General Xu was annoyed that Xu Yanzhen was rebellious and disobedient, and rarely mentioned him to the outside world. Ordinary people only know the eldest son and second son of General Xu, and not many people know Xu Yanzhen.

Therefore, Lin Bining blinked and asked, "Do you know the Xu family?" ”

"I'm quite familiar with one of them, and you'll find out later." Bai Yi sold Guanzi.

"Oh." She nodded and didn't ask any more.

**********

Without Renxintang, the gloom clouds shrouded in Lin Bining's heart dissipated, and she happily played in Cixin, and learned that every year on June 22, the incense chamber of commerce in Cixin will hold an incense material identification competition. Since it is a competition, there are winners and losers, and naturally there are lottery heads, and the winners can get the same precious incense materials prepared by the incense chamber of commerce.

According to Lin Bining's understanding, the winner of the previous year received a fist-sized piece of first-class musk - a legacy incense. This incense is the musk deer itself with its paws out of the sachet, with this musk through the orchard, melons and fruits do not bear fruit, extremely rare, can be called priceless.

Most of the members of the Xiang Chamber of Commerce are incense dealers and incense shop owners in Porcelain Xin, and they are essentially businessmen, and it is their duty for businessmen to pursue profits, so they need to pay one or two silver entry fees to participate in this competition.

However, if you can win the first place, it is still very cost-effective to exchange one or two silver for precious incense materials. Besides, if you can see all kinds of incense materials, this money is not a loss.

Of course, Lin Bining would not miss such a grand event, and went to the place of the competition with Bai Yi early.

This place is the Qinfang Building they had been to before, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a table next to it, on which were a stack of wooden cards and a money box with red paper, Lin Bining knew that this was the place to pay the entry fee.

Seeing them coming, the man sitting behind the table politely asked, "How many sons are going to participate in the competition?" ”

Lin Bining came closer and said with a smile: "One." ”

"Childe, please pay a tael of silver." The man laughed.

Lin Bining took out the silver and handed it to the other party, who gave a wooden sign and said, "This is the only certificate for the childe to participate, please don't lose it." The game officially starts, and when it is Childe's turn, there will be a master of ceremonies calling the number, so please pay attention to Childe when the time comes. ”

She smiled and thanked, "Thank you." ”

There were other people who were also going to participate in the competition, and Lin Bining walked in first without looking at the wooden sign.

The tables and chairs in the lobby were removed, and a large platform was set up in the middle, with a long table in the middle of the table and three Taishi chairs on the side.

Qinfanglou is spacious, and there are already fifty or sixty people in the audience, scattered in twos and threes, standing in a pile, some chatting easily, some are speculating about this year's lottery, and some people are holding books and cramming temporarily......

The group of them found a place where there were few people to stand, and the sword came to Lin Bining's side, and said anxiously: "Young master, let's see what number you are?" ”

Lin Bining looked at the wooden sign carefully, engraved with a few words of the incense chamber of commerce on one side, and the three words "thirty-five" on the other. ”

An old man watching the game next to him said with a smile: "A few first-time participants don't know, the competition is generally held for two days, divided into preliminary and final. In addition to the name of the incense material, the contestants will also be divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the first unidentified incense material will be identified by the second person, and the 100 kinds of incense materials can be identified to participate in tomorrow's finals. If there are three identification errors in a row, they will be eliminated directly. ”

Bai Yi shook his fan and nodded: "Well, this rule is quite simple. ”

The sword looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, what if someone can't recognize the deliberate delay in time?" ”

The old man touched his beard and smiled and said: "The time for each person to identify is no more than five breaths, and if it is overtime, it can be regarded as a mistake in identification." ”

The squire said, "Well, that should be pretty fast." ”

There were more and more people, and the second child of Qinfanglou came out to evacuate the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Please take the wooden card to participate in the competition and walk to the front, those who do not participate in the competition please go up to the second floor to watch, please do not participate in the game to the second floor to watch." ”

Xiao Er checked the wooden signs one by one, and those who did not have wooden signs were invited upstairs, and most of the people in the lobby were immediately reduced.

Xiao Er saw that there were several people around Lin Bining, so he stepped forward and said, "Are they all going to participate in the competition?" Please show me the wooden sign. ”
