A traitor

At night, in the dungeon of the General's Mansion, Mei Liusheng and Cai Jun were locked together.

Hearing some movement outside, the two looked up, only to see that Chengying was also escorted in and locked beside them.

Cai Jun said with a bitter face: "I never expected that the situation in Qinzhou would be like this, and I don't know what happened to Mr. Su..."

Seeing that the soldiers escorting Chengying were about to leave, Mei Liusheng stood up, and at this moment Chengying also stood up, and said to him: "My lord..."

The two looked at each other, Mei Liusheng nodded, walked to the prison door, took out the dagger that Su Qinglang gave him back then, and swung it at the chain.

There was a crisp sound, and the iron chain that locked the prison door broke in two and fell to the ground. Cai Jun walked over and said in surprise: "This dagger cuts iron like mud."

Mei Liusheng went out and opened the cell door where Chengying was being held, and after a few rounds, Mei Liusheng said to Cai Jun again: "Master Cai, Chengying and I have something to do, you should find a safe place to hide first. "

Cai Jun sighed, and followed the two of them out of the cell. On the way, they met several patrolling soldiers, but Mei Liusheng and Cheng Ying quickly took care of them.

Looking at how they twisted their heads with a snap, Cai Jun only felt his neck hurt, and thought that he had no strength to restrain the chicken.

Even following them was a drag, so after leaving the dungeon, he separated from the two of them and went to find a safe place by himself.

Seeing Cai Jun walking away, Cheng Ying said to Mei Liusheng, "My lord, what should we do next?"

Mei Liusheng pondered for a moment, then handed him the dagger in his hand: "Take this, go to see Cheng Qi, and tell him I'm coming."

Cheng Ying's eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "My lord..."

He also heard Mei Liusheng say: "Now Cheng Qi should fight the enemy at the front line, there is only Miss Cheng in the general's mansion, if Cheng Qi doesn't come back, it will be very difficult to resolve the matter here."

He naturally knew Chengying's worries, so he paused: "If he is rebellious and intends to harm us, you will kill him."

Cheng Ying hummed, took the dagger with both hands, and asked again: "Master, then you..."

When he said this, he didn't ask any more questions, and Mei Liusheng didn't answer either, after all, the two of them knew each other.

The reason why Chengying released Cheng Ying so happily before was because he wanted to use Cheng Ying's hand to kill Su Qinglang.

After all, under Master Su's clever tongue, the Cheng family had already agreed to let them go, but Su Qinglang was the only one who refused to let them go.

Mei Liusheng naturally knew his plan, but he didn't expose it, and there was no need to expose it, but not pursuing Chengying didn't mean that he wanted to watch Su Qinglang die.

He just said: "If Cheng Qi really wants to harm us, after killing him, you come to the mansion to find Master Cai, and we will have a round outside the city."

Chengying took the order to leave, and Mei Liusheng did not hesitate, and followed the route in memory towards the ancestral hall of the general's mansion.

He is very clear about Su Qinglang's physical condition, not to mention that he was already injured, even five years ago when he was healthy, he couldn't stand Cheng Ying's blows.

Given how much Cheng Ying hated him, it was obvious that he would not be kind enough to ask a doctor to treat him. Now, Su Qinglang might still be thrown outside that ancestral hall, and no one cares about him.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Mei Liusheng became. If Su Qinglang died because of this, what would he do in the future?

My heart was empty, as if a piece had been gouged out by life, even though I kept telling myself that it would not be like this, the pain was still unstoppable.

Why does he feel distressed, and even if Su Qinglang dies, what impact will it have on him? He has no time for such a question, and he no longer wants to think about it.

Life and death are determined by heaven, even the emperor can't escape the word death, what can you do?

Many days ago, by the willow bank by the river, Su Qinglang's words kept echoing in his head.

Indeed, he thought that he could turn the court upside down, wield millions of soldiers, destroy several cities in a blink of an eye, and kill thousands of people, but he couldn't prevent the death of only one person.

It was because of this that he felt angry and scared. Before coming to Qinzhou, he made a vow that he could protect Su Qinglang with his own strength.

In the end, he discovered that all along, his superiority has never been successful in front of Su Qinglang.

He knew about Wan Yuzhen's assassination a long time ago, but it was still under careful planning that Su Qinglang was seriously injured.

This is like a talented person who thinks he is full of knowledge and knowledge, only to find out when he comes to the examination room that his things are not in line with the content of the examination.

Su Qinglang, it's just a few more people scolding him, it's just a few more people wanting to kill him, even if one person has great ability, so what?

Even if he saved such a person, so what?

Turning the world upside down, he wants to control the fate of the people in the world, Su Qinglang's life and death should also be decided by him.

He is the king of Yi, the future emperor, he bet everything on himself, if he won't let him die, who would dare to say the word "death"?

When he came to the ancestral hall, there were no guards. Mei Liusheng lurked in the dark, observed for a while, and went out after making sure that no one was there.

He searched around the original place a few times, but he didn't see Su Qinglang. In his anxiety, he accidentally saw blood trails on the ground, a long trail leading straight to the ancestral hall.

He walked along the bloodstains, and as expected, in the corner outside the ancestral hall, he saw Su Qinglang unconscious in the grass.

Seeing him holding a clump of long grass in his hand and laying motionless on his stomach, Mei Liusheng's footsteps stopped, and suddenly he didn't dare to go forward again.

He stood where he was, and called softly: "Qinglang..."

However, Su Qinglang didn't respond, Mei Liusheng's voice trembled, and he didn't move even after calling several times.

Immediately panicked, he hurried over, leaned down, and held him in his arms, only to realize that his fingers were all torn and bleeding.

Fortunately, the body that was within reach was still warm, Mei Liusheng put his hands on Su Qinglang's chest, felt his heartbeat, and then he was relieved.

Half kneeling on the ground, hugged him in his arms, touched Su Qinglang's face, and called out again: "Qinglang..."

Su Qinglang leaned in his arms, but there was no echo. At this moment, there were noisy voices from outside the forest not far away. It should be that their escape from prison was discovered.

Fearing that they would search here, Mei Liusheng frowned, turned his head and glanced at the ancestral hall, then hugged Su Qinglang horizontally, and walked in quickly.

Inside the ancestral hall, the lights are bright, and there are many spiritual seats in the main hall, all of which are covered with red cloth, and the names underneath are not revealed.

Mei Liusheng frowned slightly, and searched around, only to hear the noisy voice getting closer, he had quick eyes and quick hands, and hid behind the coffin with Su Qinglang in his arms.

The wooden spiritual frame is just some distance away from the wall, and there are carved windows on both sides, so you can hear the movement outside.

Mei Liusheng squeezed Su Qinglang in with him, letting him lean into his arms. There were lamps hanging under the eaves behind the ancestral hall, and among the shadows of the trees, several people stood behind and talked.

"The one surnamed Su has also disappeared. If the eldest miss knows about this, she will definitely be unhappy."

"I think that Su's injury seems to be serious. If they can't go far, they will probably be in this ancestral hall."

Afraid that they would really search the ancestral hall, Mei Liusheng frowned tightly, and heard another person say: "Don't touch the idea of ​​this ancestral hall, it's not like you don't know who is enshrined here, the one surnamed Su has already escaped." Now, if we let the young lady know that we brought people into the ancestral hall to make noise, then we really made a big mistake."

The man hummed, as if he was about to give up, but at this moment, Su Qinglang, who was leaning on Mei Liusheng's arms, woke up from the pain and coughed softly.

Mei Liusheng hurriedly covered his mouth, but he was still heard by those two people, only one of them immediately became alert: "Who?"

Mei Liusheng leaned back, still covering Su Qinglang's mouth and nose, and listened to the people outside: "The man surnamed Su is probably in this ancestral hall, otherwise... let's go in and have a look, just take a look." Just come out, don't rummaging through things, and the eldest lady won't know."

Mei Liusheng was forced to sweat by them. After all, if someone found out, it would be easy for him to escape by himself, but it would be almost impossible for him to take Su Qinglang with him.

He moved his body lightly, adjusted a convenient posture and squatted down. He planned to make it clear in his heart that if they really found out later, he would kill them first.

However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside again, as if a soldier ran up to him and said, "General, the fugitive has been caught."

"Really, how many?" The voice of the speaker couldn't hide his joy.

Xiao Bing hesitated and said, "Only one, I found it in the noodle tank in the kitchen..."

The people outside heard the words, and said again: "Take us to have a look first."

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the noise outside returned to silence again, Mei Liusheng let go of Su Qinglang, panting slightly from tension.

The person who was arrested, needless to say, was Mrs. Cai Juncai. He had no hatred with Cheng Ying, at most, he would be locked up again, and there would be no danger for the time being.

It would be even more dangerous if they followed them, hiding in Tibet, dancing with swords, so Mei Liusheng made up his mind and had no plan to rescue Cai Jun.

With Cheng Ying's martial arts, it will take some time to escape from the General's Mansion, but it is not impossible. If Cheng Qi is really loyal to him, he will come back tomorrow.

It's just that now, with Su Qinglang's situation, can he wait until tomorrow...

He looked at Su Qinglang's face, and frowned again. After a while, he tore off his clothes, bound up Su Qinglang's fingers, and let him lean on the coffin.

He took off the torn outer robe, wrapped it around Su Qinglang, stared at him for a while, then stretched out his hand to touch his face, only to feel his cheeks were hot, it was actually a high fever.

Mei Liusheng was anxious, thought for a while, and then softly said to him: "Qinglang, I'll go out and find some medicine for you, why don't you stay here by yourself?"

Pulling up his outer robe, he got up and left. When he walked to the main entrance of the ancestral hall, he stopped and looked back at the spiritual tablet under the red cloth.

He murmured, "If you love him dearly, let him go and stop pestering him."
