Chapter 421: Discussion
I didn't expect Dongfang Qi Xiu to ask this sentence, and a few people in the room didn't react at once, after all, in this room, the person who had the least position to say this sentence among the four people was Dongfang Qi Xiu.
Chen Lao is Lin Jinghan's master, Lin Jinghui and Xu Shengrui, as Lin Jinghan's relatives and lovers, it is a matter of course to participate in saving Chen Lao, Dongfang Qi Xiu is strictly an outsider, and this question that has not been mentioned before was suddenly raised, and it is normal for everyone to be a little stunned.
"Dongfang, I have never neglected to rescue the master, and the reason why we are staying here now is because the master should appear around here today and tomorrow, which is much faster than looking for it like a headless fly ourselves." Lin Jinghan explained.
Prior to this, when Lin Jinghan was out of the customs, Xu Shengrui explained this problem to Lin Jinghan.
Xu Shengrui told Lin Jinghan in detail about the exchange meeting, Chen Lao is an alchemist, and the exchange meeting is at the beginning, Chen Lao's role has been raised a lot at once, and the pill has been a luxury that has been sought after by everyone since ancient times.
In ancient times, when alchemy had not yet withered, pills were a very valuable thing, pills were suspected of being a must-have, home travel, fights and killings were inseparable from pills, but pills were essential but not popular daily necessities, and the price of pills was not paid by ordinary people.
And with the withering of alchemy, until now only one vein remains in the world, this elixir has become more sought-after, the hidden family is a family handed down from ancient times, the classics in the family will more or less mention the elixir, and some large family sects even have some elixirs handed down, so the people in the hidden world are absolutely no strangers to the elixir, unlike in the earthly world, many people do not know the storage of the elixir.
So the respect that Chen Lao receives here will definitely exceed that of the outside world, eh, of course, this is only possible in a normal way, Chen Lao was tied in like this, maybe this identity can also bring him enough respect, but it may just be reduced to Chen Lao's life charm.
The exchange meeting is not only a communication between all the hidden families, but also a competition of family and sect strength, if a family or sect can come up with something that everyone can fight for, then the family or sect will be able to get more resources in the next few years.
And now, the so-called three elders kidnapped Chen Lao, in this exchange meeting, he will definitely take out the elixir refined by Chen Lao to participate in the exchange, and Chen Lao, there is a high probability that the three elders will be directly taken by his side, one is to imprison Chen Lao, the second is also to show off, and the third is to prevent the occurrence of some emergencies, such as when someone questions the authenticity of the elixir, the appearance of Chen Lao, an alchemist, can perfectly eliminate these attacks invisibly.
It is for this reason that Lin Jinghan and Xu Shengrui decided to stay here, this inn is the closest inn to the Jianbao Building, where the exchange meeting will be held.
After listening to Lin Jinghan's explanation, Lin Jinghui and Dongfang Qi Xiu realized that there was such a reason for this randomly chosen inn.
The matter has been said, and Lin Jinghan has no need to hide it, and this matter also needs to be conspired.
"The exchange meeting will officially open at seven o'clock tonight, from tonight to tomorrow night is the time for the exhibition, all the exhibited items can be exchanged and sold during this time, but rare things like pills, I believe that the organizers will not put them out directly." Lin Jinghan said a little bit about the current shape.
"Well, this kind of rare thing is only qualified to be known by those in power." Lin Jinghui nodded and agreed, this kind of unspoken rule applies the same no matter which world it is, and there are some things that are not enough to be known.
"So I think that the elixir is either directly used for exchange with several major families, or it is used for auction, which is the finale item in the auction." Lin Jinghan rested her elbows on the table, her wrists supporting her head, her eyes focused on the table, and the light in her eyes flashed.
"The first one is much less likely, if the pill is really a very luxurious thing, then the major families want it, and they will not retreat because of their friendship with each other, in that case, no matter whether they get the pill in the end or not, this will inevitably break the good relationship between several families, so the organizer should not choose this way, after all, if the pill is used for auction, it is the one with the highest price, and it is not grabbed, it is a matter of their own strength, so they can't complain, so at least it won't cause much impact." Dongfang Qi Xiu carefully analyzed it and thought that the possibility of the second one was much greater than the first.
"Moreover, I believe that the third elder also wants to expand his influence, so that everyone knows that he has an elixir in his hands, and even an alchemist."
"From the words that teased the brothers at the foot of the mountain before, I know that this three elders' vein is definitely not a vein of Anfen, their strength in this vein has surpassed the main vein, and it is normal to have other thoughts, and now that the three elders have caught Chen Lao, this is even more like a tiger's wings, with Chen Lao such a strong hole card, for the three elders, his chances of success will be much higher." Lin Jinghui is in a military and political family, although he has not entered the deep pool of politics, but he still has some understanding, so he can still analyze these twists and turns.
"Therefore, this Third Elder will definitely appear, as for the master, whether he comes with him or not, as long as this Third Elder appears, then we will have a chance." Lin Jinghan finally made a closing statement.
"So, now what we need to determine is, what does this third elder look like? We haven't met him, and there's no such thing as a photo newspaper or anything here, Ken.[,!] We must know who the three elders are, so that we can wait for the rabbit."
is the so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, Lin Jinghan brother and sister plus Dongfang Qi Xiu, the three of them were originally high-IQ characters, much more powerful than the stinkers, so they went through the matter between the three and two and found the key point.
The three of them came to the conclusion that they wanted to solve this problem now, but none of them were from this world, if they rashly inquired about the affairs of the three elders, they might attract the attention of the three elders, which made it a little difficult for the three of them, but ・・・・・・
The three of them turned their eyes to Xu Shengrui, who had been silent, what the three of them couldn't do, looking for Xu Shengrui, yes, this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Rui, the portrait of the three elders will be handed over to you, no problem, right?" Lin Jinghan blinked her eyes and approached Xu Shengrui, and asked in a coquettish voice, no man like this Lin Jinghan could refuse her request.
"Okay." As simple as ever, as calm as ever, as confident as ever, this is Xu Shengrui.
"Okay, then now, let's go to the lunch break, go out in the afternoon to inquire about the situation, and in the evening, we will have to wait for the rabbit." Hearing the expected answer, Lin Jinghan slapped the table and said with a smile on her face, ending this short discussion.
The four of them entered their own rooms respectively, this courtyard is very large, and there are many rooms, so the four of them can choose the room they like at will, but the three men did not unexpectedly choose a room similar to Lin Jinghan.
Thinking of Xu Shengrui's direct desire to enter her room to live with her when he chose a room, and her brother was obstructing her in every possible way, Lin Jinghan felt funny.
Actually, Lin Jinghan felt that the main reason why my brother had to come with me this time was to prevent Xu Shengrui!
The antique room is a boudoir of an ancient lady, the layout is quite exquisite and elegant, this is a suite room, the inside is the main room, there is a small suite outside, in ancient times, this small suite is the place where those maids keep vigil at night.
There is a small bed in the small suite, placed by the window, when lying on the bed, you can directly see the scenery in the courtyard outside the window, there is a large flower pot in the corner of the suite, and a pothos is planted in the flower pot.
In the center of the suite is a wooden round table, four round stools in four directions, and in the other corner there is a wooden shelf on which towels and copper basins are placed.
A beaded curtain separates the small suite from the main room, which has a large bed made of mahogany, the curtain is made of plain brocade cloth zuò, embroidered with a few lotus flowers, light pink, looking elegant and leisurely.
The bed is a set of clean quilts, made beds, good cotton tsurtress, soft to sit on, very comfortable, and very warm, brocade quilt folded into a rectangle on the inside of the bed, two pillows side by side at the head of the bed, the color is consistent with the brocade quilt sheets, it looks like one.
There is a wooden dresser on the left side of the room, the dim copper mirror, it looks a little blurry, there are a few boxes on the countertop, it should be rouge gouache, a sandalwood comb is put together with these boxes, a stool is placed in front of the dressing mirror, there is a thick cotton pad on it, no need to try, Lin Jinghan knows that it must be very comfortable to sit on.
There is a small cabinet next to the vanity mirror, there are many small cabinets, with copper rings on them, Lin Jinghan opened it and looked at it, it was empty, there was nothing, but Lin Jinghan thought that this small cabinet should be used by those boudoir ladies in ancient times to hold those jewelry, and the head was shaken.
There are also several cabinets opposite the vanity mirror, and the characteristics of those cabinets are obvious, and you can tell at a glance that they are for clothes.
After Lin Jinghan opened them one by one, she found that there was a full set of women's clothes inside, the ancient kind of ancient costumes, the kind with long sleeves flying and fluttering skirts, which made Lin Jinghan feel surprised, and after confirming that it was clean and no one wore it, Lin Jinghan couldn't wait to take off her clothes and prepare to dress, but Lin Jinghan ignored a problem.
Ancient costumes are not like modern clothes, you can pull a set -

Actually, I don't know where I offended someone, I don't care about it, why do they still bite me like a mad dog, what the hell did I do to him?
