Zhou Huai couldn't understand Cheng Ling's behavior of taking out the drawings.

Cheng Ling then said to Zhou Huai: "Good disciple, do you remember what my master told you about the story of two peaches killing three men?"

Zhou Huai was stunned, and Cheng Ling said: "In fact, the most terrifying thing in this world is never martial arts, but the human heart. Take this blueprint and tell the governor that you betrayed me."

Zhou Huai immediately gritted his teeth and the muscles on his cheeks trembled. He vaguely seemed to understand something.

"Master..." He choked out from between his teeth.

Cheng Ling reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "The disciples who are closest to me have all been taken away by me. Those who remain are either not close to me, are usually rejected, or are betrayed."

"You can tell the world that I usually teach my disciples very cruelly, beating or scolding them, and treating them harshly. You can't bear the abuse, so you have to break away from me."

"There is no need to publicize the blueprint, just present it quietly. This blueprint is worth tens of thousands of dollars... No, it is priceless! If they give you a reward, you can accept it calmly."

Zhou Huai's hand holding the drawing felt as if it had been burned by something, and he quickly returned the drawing to Cheng Ling.

He endured the panic and said: "Master, since it is a priceless drawing, let's change it to another one. Even if we have to donate something, I, I..."

Cheng Ling smiled and said leisurely: "Priceless things cannot be made so easily."

——So, what kind of drawing is this?

In fact, this is a blueprint of a warship. At first glance, it seems to be just above the shipbuilding technology of this era, and it can make experts yearn for it at a glance.

This drawing was modified by Bian Bosong based on the drawings given to him by Cheng Ling before, but in fact, it contains many traps for experts.

These traps are not necessarily impossible to break through, but they may require a lot of time and even more detours.

Cheng Ling asked Zhou Huai to present the drawing. On the one hand, he was afraid that Zhou Huai and others would be implicated after he left. On the other hand, he also hoped that the drawing would involve more energy in the county governor's office.

As for "two peaches kill three scholars", or "one peach kills two scholars", it depends on luck.

Cheng Ling finally gave Zhou Huai a small cloth bag and said to Zhou Huai: "This is something to save your life. If an enemy appears and you can't defeat it, just grab the contents of the bag and throw it at his eyes."

,Do you understand?"

Zhou Huai responded and quickly accepted it solemnly.

Because Cheng Ling never said that Zhou Huai was not allowed to open the bag in advance and check the contents, after Cheng Ling left, Zhou Huai couldn't help but light the lamp, then opened the bag and looked under the lamp.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai was stunned.

All I saw was a grayish-white patch inside the bag. When I reached out and grabbed it, I found that the grayish-white powder still had a pungent smell.

Zhou Huai exclaimed in a low voice: "It's lime!"

Lime saves life?

Zhou Huai imagined the consequences of scattering the lime, and suddenly he lost all sadness and felt his eyes were a little itchy.

"Master..." He didn't dare to wipe his eyes with the hand that had grabbed the lime, so he could only sniff by himself, and suddenly he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Zhou Huai murmured: "Master, I hope you have a smooth future and everything is fine."

By Wenxing Lake, Yangliu Lane.

The rain is still falling, lingering and lingering, bringing with it a cold autumn night wind, which is annoying.

In Wang's villa, Yu Nujiao had already tossed and turned again on her embroidery bed.

Just such a turn over, but it triggered the sound of inquiries from the pedals.

The maid who was sleeping on the footrest hurriedly asked: "Jade lady, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Nujiao didn't want to talk to her, but she had to respond coldly: "Nothing, it's a bit cold. Pour me a cup of hot water."

The maid responded and quickly got up to pour water.

Her movements were light and neat, and her attitude was very respectful. Yu Nujiao looked at her back as she walked to the table to pour water, but her eyes were dark and almost opaque.

Everything here is like the maid in front of me. She seems considerate and considerate, but in fact she is trapped in every corner.

She was stared at so intensely that she almost forgot who she was.

When the maid came back after pouring the water, she helped Yu Nujiao stand up and served her to drink the water. Yu Nujiao lowered her head and touched the water glass with her lips. At this moment, her hand suddenly shook.

Cough cough cough——

Yu Nujiao coughed, and the water glass in the maid's hand instantly overturned due to her coughing movement, and the water spilled down.

Boom!

When the water cup fell to the ground, the maidservant exclaimed: "My lady!"

The water in the cup was sprinkled on Yu Nujiao and also on the maidservant.

Yu Nujiao pushed her away and said angrily: "What are you doing, clumsy, get out of here! It's a screen painting, I want to paint a screen!"

The maid was pushed, and an angry look appeared on her face, but she quickly adjusted her mood, with only a smile on her face, and said: "Sister Huaping was not feeling well earlier. Didn't I tell her to rest?"

Well……"

Before he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door outside.

A deep female voice asked outside: "How are you, madam? Is this girl Ping'er not serving you well?" As she said that, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A gloomy-looking woman walked in at this moment. She was not pretty, but she still had a smile on her face. Her eyes seemed to be filled with the breath of the vulture, and they were gouging out toward Yu Nujiao with a sinister look.

This woman was newly sent here by Wang Sanlang. Although she didn't have much contact with her, Yu Nujiao was subconsciously afraid of her.

But Yu Nujiao felt even more panicked: more than an hour had passed, and she didn't know if Huaping had come back? It was a pity that she was being watched so closely that she couldn't go to Huaping's room to check.

Or maybe the painting screen has actually come back, but there is Mrs. Zhang guarding the yard outside, so she doesn't dare to enter the house?

Yu Nujiao stared at Mrs. Zhang closely, thinking: I have lured her into the house, Huaping, if you are outside, come back quickly.

Thinking like this, Yu Nujiao just covered her heart and kept moaning in pain.

Mrs. Zhang frowned, walked quickly to Yu Nujiao, stretched out her hand to grab her wrist, and said, "Madam, your heart hurts? What's wrong with this? Don't be afraid. Let me check your pulse."

Mrs. Zhang actually knows her pulse!

Yu Nujiao was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide. But Mrs. Zhang's attack was like lightning, and she immediately captured her veins.

"The lady doesn't seem to have a heart disease." Mrs. Zhang said. She held Yu Nujiao's hand and felt her pulse for a moment. Her sinister eyes stared at Yu Nujiao's face, as if she wanted to gouge her whole body out.

Yu Nujiao's heartbeat quickened and she tried her best to look back.

"Why did you lie about being heartbroken?" Mrs. Zhang's mouth curled up, and suddenly her face showed surprise, "Oh, you want to use this to win your husband's pity, right? Haha, Lady Jade, such dirty tricks..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the open door.

Whoosh!
Chapter completed!
