Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand and took the bowl, looking at death with a look on his face: "There is no choice at all." ”

As he spoke, he frowned and drank the medicine from the bowl......

Then he successfully choked.

Lin Jinxiu immediately took out a candied fruit from the candied fruit jar, reached out and patted his back, and when he came to his senses, he stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth without hesitation.

"Ah, it's alive......"

The sweetness of candied fruit is very obvious, and people who don't like sweetness may feel tired when they eat it, but the bitterness of the antidote is just right.

"That's good." Lin Jinxiu recalled that when she was a child, she was fed Chinese medicine and cried a lot, but she still couldn't drink it.

Huai Yanqing chewed candied fruit in his mouth, his face full of contempt.

After drinking the medicine, Qin Shuyao, who was sitting on the side, finally found a chance to speak: "We searched the entire mountain forest but did not find Ye Yanyun and his military advisor. ”

"Is that really the case......" Huai Yanqing seemed to have expected such a situation a long time ago, no matter how Ye Yanyun said it, he was a general, if he was easily caught, he felt that Qin Shuyao's information had been collected for several months in vain.

Lin Jinxiu took out the Holy Spirit Pot from his bag, poured him a glass of water out of Qin Shuyao's sight, and quickly took the pot back so that he wouldn't see it.

"Thank you." Taking the water cup in Lin Jinxiu's hand, Qin Shuyao thanked him, but after drinking the water into his stomach, he didn't know if the water itself was cold, or because of other reasons, his spirit suddenly shook, and it seemed that the fatigue on his body had been taken off.

"Thank you." Qin Shuyao knew that this should be something that Lin Jinxiu took out, so he thanked him again.

"You're welcome." Lin Jinxiu responded playfully.

"You take care of your injuries." Qin Shuyao's words turned back to business, "Now in addition to those two people, there are still many people in the city who need to deal with them. ”

"But I decided to find someone to keep an eye on first, the God of Food competition will end soon, if you start arresting people on a large scale now, it will not only affect the imperial chef, but also make the entire state capital panic."

Huai Yanqing nodded, Qin Shuyao was obviously the wisest to postpone the handling like this.

"And I need time to investigate and see if anyone else is involved in it except for the Yan family, the Chen family, and the officials I have identified." Qin Shuyao said.

"Cast a long line to catch big fish." Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand and asked Lin Jinxiu for a candied fruit, "Since they dare to stretch out their hands to the emperor's side, it means that there must be more than these people." ”

"If it were me, if I wanted to install someone in the enemy country, I would definitely not start from the imperial kitchen, but find a position that can control the government."

Lin Jinxiu listened to it clearly: "Are you suspicious that the emperor already has someone around them?" ”

Huai Yanqing looked around, except for the three of them, only Lele and Pipi Chicken were left, and it was a very safe place.

"That's right." Huai Yanqing said, "That's why I suggest that you don't use the soldiers of the state capital, but bring your own cronies and transfer troops from elsewhere to solve this organization." ”

Lin Jinxiu felt a little incomprehensible: "But if that's the case, will it be a little startling?" ”

"What we want is to startle the snake, if the local action has been going very well, how can there be any action above?"

When Huai Yanqing said this, there was still an indescribable evil smile on his face, and it seemed that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he was waiting for the moment when it was truly realized.

It's just that for him and Qin Shuyao, it's probably a little difficult to realize such an appeal, after all, his two identities are here, and if he wants to stretch out his hand to the court, he doesn't know how much effort he has to make.

"I want to see who is trying to harm my eldest brother." Huai Yanqing muttered, "Originally, it was unlucky enough to inherit my father's position for me, but now there are still people who want to get him." ”

It turned out that this was the reason, Lin Jinxiu sighed softly, and left the two men in the room to talk about business, while he walked out with a plate containing a medicine bowl.

These two people are also bold enough, not to mention solving the matter in the state capital, and now they have to stretch out their hands to a higher place.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise these two for their courage and determination, or whether they were stupid.

But if you think about it carefully, Huai Yanqing's true identity is not clear for the time being, and a genius like Qin Shuyao would be willing to stay in this Yongzhou Prefecture capital full of pedantic bureaucrats, which actually has his own purpose.

As for what the purpose is, if they don't say it, Lin Jinxiu can't even ask.

"That's it, I'm a little folk girl, don't think about these moths." Lin Jinxiu comforted herself.

"When I have the ability to stand beside the emperor and enter the imperial dining room, it's not too late to think about their affairs."

Although she has always stood by Huai Yanqing's side, there are many things that she can't participate in.

She felt that those two people were protecting her, but this kind of concealment still made her a little uncomfortable.

Sooner or later you'll know.

Lin Jinxiu went to the kitchen and put the ingredients to be used today into the basket, and even the spices in the space had been loaded into ordinary spice jars and stacked neatly.

After saying hello to the attendant at the door, Lin Jinxiu went out with his basket and walked in the direction of the competition venue.

In fact, there are still several hours before her competition, and there is still a lot of time, enough for her to have time to wander around at the same time.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin!"

As she walked, Lin Jinxiu heard someone calling her from behind, and when she turned around, she was actually an acquaintance.

"Brother Liu, what a coincidence!" At this time, the person named Lin Jinxiu was her opponent this time, and Liu Tiezhu, one of Chen Hongyi's teammates who teamed up with her in the last round and almost killed Chen Hongyi through Tian Ji horse racing.

Liu Tiezhu was carrying a big frame on his back, and it seemed that the ingredients for this time were placed in it, Although Lin Jinxiu was his opponent, the smiling eldest brother still greeted Lin Jinxiu very cordially.

"Don't you have anyone to accompany you?" Liu Tiezhu saw that Lin Jinxiu was leaving alone, so he asked.

Lin Jinxiu walked side by side with him: "Brother Liu, have you forgotten that I am Lord Qin's doorman?" Lord Qin has been very busy in the past two days, and I am embarrassed to summon his attendants, so naturally I came alone. ”

After Lin Jinxiu's reminder, Liu Tiezhu remembered that the people around Lin Jinxiu were not idle people, not to mention busy affairs, and they had to consider the impact when they walked with Lin Jinxiu.

"Then I'll carry it for you." Liu Tiezhu thought to himself that it was not easy for Lin Jinxiu, a girl, to participate in the competition alone, obviously with such a petite body, but holding a basket that looked very heavy, he felt sympathy, and reached out to help.

"No need, Brother Liu." Lin Jinxiu knew that this honest man just wanted to help her, after all, he didn't know that he could carry the ding, "You see this basket is big, but there is nothing in it." ”

Saying that, Lin Jinxiu also carried the basket up and down, as if to prove that it was very light.

Seeing that Lin Jinxiu carried the basket so easily, Liu Tiezhu believed her statement, and finally did not take the basket over, but followed her side and walked with her.

"Let's be honest." Liu Tiezhu was a little embarrassed, "I'm not talented, I entered the third round of the competition because of the girl's light, and when I heard that the opponent was a girl, I wanted to abstain at the time." ”

Lin Jinxiu covered his mouth with his hand and chuckled: "Brother Liu can enter the third round, naturally because his strength is enough, and he must be recognized by the Imperial Chef." ”

Liu Tiezhu hurriedly waved his hand: "The girl doesn't dare to say that!" I still know how many pounds and taels I have. ”

"Actually, in fact, I didn't come to participate in the competition this time to be an apprentice of the Imperial Chef, after all, my wife and children are all here." Speaking of this, Liu Tiezhu scratched the back of his head, and his face turned a little red,

"It's just to advertise for my own restaurant, and I didn't expect to be able to stay here."

Lin Jinxiu has a good impression of this man, because he is honest and honest, he is still very upright, and he never plays some crooked bowels.

Even if the two are opponents, he deserves the greatest respect that Lin Jinxiu gives him.

"Miss Lin, I will do my best this time." Liu Tiezhu was quite serious when he said this,

"Although I don't think I can compare to the girl, I think it would be disrespectful to the girl if I didn't participate in the competition well and show my highest level."

Lin Jinxiu shook her head: "No, Brother Liu, it's not disrespectful to me, after all, I'm just a cook." ”

"I just hope that Brother Liu will participate in this competition, and don't leave regrets for yourself."

Hearing Lin Jinxiu say this, Liu Tiezhu felt that he was greatly encouraged.

After all, this competition is to recruit apprentices for the imperial chef, and he works hard to defeat one opponent after another, can it also be said that he is competing with the apprentice of the imperial chef?

This Lin girl really saw it clearly, no wonder she was able to come to the third round so smoothly......

Wait a minute?

Liu Tiezhu suddenly discovered something wrong, that is, in Lin Jinxiu's words of persuasion just now, it seemed that she had always tacitly acquiesced to her that Lin Jinxiu could not lose to herself.

Although it was a fact, Liu Tiezhu still felt that he had been deeply hit.

Lin Jinxiu, who didn't realize this, looked at the man next to him and suddenly became depressed, tilting his head to show a puzzled expression.

While talking, the two have already arrived at the scene of the game, and the scene is still being arranged, and they have to wait a little longer.

Lin Jinxiu waved goodbye to Liu Tiezhu, and the two of them walked in different directions of preparation.

The empty square has a high platform, one on the left and one on the right, which is a very standard two-person posture.

When Lin Jinxiu was taken to her high platform by the attendants of the state capital, she heard the sound of continuous fragmented thoughts around her.

"Today is really this girl's competition! I'm here to see her! ”

"What's so good about her game? Isn't it all just cooking? Isn't it possible that adults are good-looking and more fragrant in cooking? ”

"That's because you didn't watch her first two games! This girl is really amazing! ”

Whether they support her or not, there is a lot of discussion around them, and there is a tendency to quarrel.

Lin Jinxiu glanced at the chaotic place behind her, she obviously had a smile on her face, but everywhere her eyes passed, everyone stopped talking.
