Chapter 124: If you have no desire, you will be just, and you will be the winner
Cheng Ling and Zhou Huai stood outside the flower hall by the inner lake for a full quarter of an hour.
Although it only took a quarter of an hour, the process was really uncomfortable.
Outside the flower hall, the sun was shining directly on the two of them. Cheng Ling was not sweating, but Zhou Huai's forehead was already wet with fine sweat. His back was not as straight as it was at first, and his feet moved uncomfortably.
Several times.
Looking around again, under the corridor of the flower hall, there were rows of servants standing on both sides.
The servants were shaded by the corridor, and they were still standing for punishment, but they stood quite calmly. Not only that, a quarter of an hour later, many people started to glance towards them with strange eyes.
.
Zhou Huai felt something was wrong, and he suddenly said in shock: "Master, have we been tricked by these people?"
Just being fooled!
If you really want to treat guests, is this how you treat them?
This is obviously to make them lose their footing and make them lose face!
Zhou Huai said in shock and anger: "Master, the steward reminded you earlier that asking us to stand for a while was actually a trap?" When he said this, because of the rising anger in his heart, his voice was slightly raised.
.
All of a sudden, it attracted more and more unclear looks from the servants in the corridor of the flower hall.
Cheng Ling reached out and patted Zhou Huai's arm gently and said, "Zhou Huai, calm down and don't be anxious."
Zhou Huai's face was burning. Although he was temporarily calmed down by Cheng Ling, he couldn't do it for a while if he was asked to calm down like Cheng Ling.
In fact, it is normal not to be able to do it, but those who can do it are not ordinary people.
At this time, Cheng Ling actually realized the viciousness of the other party's actions.
The steward's advice was the first trap, the looks in the servants' eyes was the second trap, and at this time, the laughter coming from the flower hall was the third trap.
Cheng Ling could even hear the voices coming from the flower hall, either softly or not.
A woman sneered and said: "That Jade Shura, he said he was a hero, but why does he look a little stupid now? He was asked to stand, and he really stood?"
Then, another woman's voice said: "What if I don't stand? Our old lady is watching a play, and we are watching it just right. Wouldn't it be rude if he barged in suddenly?"
"Hey, then don't you and I have benefited from it now? We caught up with the good times and actually enjoyed it for once... asking the famous Jade Shura to give us the treatment of a door god?"
"Hee hee hee……"
The laughter was thin and crisp, reverberating like a thousand times.
In the corridor, a servant hid his lips, as if he had heard these conversations and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Huai felt a burning sensation on his face. At this time, it was not just the sun that was heating up his body. His whole body, including the soles of his feet, felt a burning sense of shame and anger.
What does it take to be extremely angry? When a common man is angry——
Cheng Ling reached out and put his hand on Zhou Huai's shoulder. Zhou Huai was trembling all over and it was unbearable.
He reluctantly lowered his voice and said: "Master!"
Cheng Ling said: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Huai said in embarrassment: "Master, they humiliate you so much... I, disciple..." He, he wants to be violent, he wants to kill!
There was strong anger accumulating in his heart, and there was a saying called "The Lord humiliates his ministers to death." Although Zhou Huai did not read much and did not know this sentence, he had a profound feeling:
Someone insulted Cheng Ling more than insulting him!
His face was red, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his eyes were too red. If Cheng Ling hadn't been holding him down, he would have rushed into the flower hall at this time.
Suddenly, I heard Cheng Ling say: "Zhou Huai, do you smell a special fragrance?"
Zhou Huai was stunned, as if he didn't understand why this turn of events came about.
But he saw Cheng Ling's hand pressing his shoulder suddenly move, and Cheng Ling's fingers flicked past Zhou Huai's nose like a flowing cloud.
In the blink of an eye, a refreshing and spicy breath rushed up from Zhou Huai's nose.
It was at that moment that Cheng Ling applied medicated oil on the tip of his nose and in his body.
He didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but the shocking smell surged like a tide, causing tears to ooze from the edges of Zhou Huai's red eyes.
But also because of this, Zhou Huai's brain suddenly seemed to be clear.
He was suddenly startled and came back to his senses.
Cheng Ling whispered: "There is something wrong with the flowers placed in the corridor of the flower hall. The fragrance of flowers can make people irritable and aggravate their uneasiness."
Zhou Huai:……
He looked at Cheng Ling blankly, obviously coming back to his senses, but now he seemed not to understand what Cheng Ling was saying.
Cheng Ling looked sideways at him and said, "If I fail to control my emotions like you and rush into the flower hall, what will be the consequences?"
Zhou Huai said: "Yes, can you kill people?"
He, he wants to kill someone, but his three-legged cat kung fu may not necessarily be able to kill anyone, but the master is different. If the master takes action, whoever she wants to kill, probably, probably will be able to kill!
Zhou Huai swallowed his saliva, feeling a sense of belated panic welling up in his heart.
Cheng Ling said calmly: "If I kill someone in the governor's house, my life will be ruined. I will either become an outlaw or a prisoner."
This is completely different from killing Boss Cao outside.
If someone kills someone in the county governor's mansion, Cheng Ling will change from an impeccable hero who saves the people to a violent criminal who relies on force to commit crimes.
Her record of assassinating King Linhai could not save her, nor could the reputation of the sage who taught the "Art of Returning the Sun" on Wenxing Lake save her.
She understood that when she visited the Sheriff's Mansion today, the real trap was here!
At the same time, Cheng Ling also keenly felt that there was an aura of masters in the flower hall.
Among the floating breaths, there are a few breaths that are extraordinarily deep and calm. This must be a master of the inner world!
These people must be waiting for her in the flower hall.
Zhou Huai felt as if his whole body was soaked in ice water, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was cold. He trembled and said: "Master, why is this?"
What hatred or resentment? Why is this?
Isn't the master on good terms with Wang Qilang? The Sheriff's Mansion, the Sheriff's Mansion...
Zhou Huai's head seemed to be in knots, but he heard Cheng Ling say calmly: "Maybe some people are desperate and want to take advantage of me, but there is no other way to break through, so they can only do this."
Zhou Huai felt very frightened, but Cheng Ling felt as if a stone had suddenly fallen from his heart.
What was supposed to come, indeed came.
However, even though the other party has a clear plan, she may not necessarily accept the move.
Cheng Ling only said: "Zhou Huai, let's go."
This old lady, it’s okay to miss her!
After saying this, Cheng Ling raised his feet and started to leave. Zhou Huai quickly followed.
At this moment, just as Cheng Ling took two steps, a voice suddenly came from the flower hall: "Mr. Cheng, please stay. The old lady invites you in!"
Cheng Ling didn't stop, she kept walking and didn't look back, but she responded with a slightly loud voice: "Everything is determined by God, don't force it, why bother to use tricks? When you have three meals a day, you will always be satisfied, and you will have a smooth sail."
Then you can collect it.”
