A traitor

Perhaps it rained in the middle of the night, and Su Qinglang's condition became more and more serious due to the cold.

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Liusheng was afraid that something would happen to him, so she had to rush out of the house with her preparations.

As soon as they stepped out of the ancestral hall with Su Qinglang on their backs, they saw Cheng Ying leading someone towards them, blocking in front of them: "Where is Master Mei going?"

Mei Liusheng looked at the surrounding people, then looked at Cheng Ying and said, "Get out of the way..."

Cheng Ying took a step forward and said, "Lord Mei has no grievances with me, if you want to leave, Cheng Ying will not stop you, but Su Qinglang must stay here."

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Mei Liusheng's expression darkened: "What if I refuse?"

Cheng Ying drew out the knife from his waist, pointed at him and said, "Then don't blame Cheng Ying for being rude."

Mei Liusheng was carrying Su Qinglang on his back, holding a sword in one hand, and was about to force his way in, but the person on his back groaned and said, "Brother Mei, let me go, let me go."

"What?" Mei Liusheng saw that he was awake and said such words again, he couldn't help being both happy and surprised, turned his head to the side, and frowned.

Hearing Su Qinglang's weak wry smile again: "Everything is over, the debts I owe will be repaid one day. I have prepared for this, but..."

He paused and coughed: "Since I committed the crime, I should bear it alone. How can I hurt Brother Mei?"

In Su Qinglang's words, Mei Liusheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

He thought of his past, thought of the hatred he carried, those things that he had planned for more than ten years, are they really going to go to waste today?

His father, the king, was supposed to be the ninety-five king above ten thousand people, but now, he was charged with the crime of treason, and the soul of the hero was in trouble.

In the past, people in the palace, whether relatives or friends, left one by one in front of him, and he was the only one who survived.

He has suffered so much, endured so many sins, and his only purpose is to avenge them one day, step on the back of his so-called uncle, step on the throne that should belong to him, and tell the world, His father is the real king, and the traitor is actually the current emperor.

In the face of such a heavy mission, his own life seemed insignificant, so what was Su Qinglang worth?

However, the weight on his hand was heavy, even if the person on his back was so thin, the weight in his heart made him unable to let go of it.

The trade-offs have not been considered clearly, but the mouth said first: "I will not leave."

Su Qinglang was taken aback for a moment, his astonished expression gradually turned into sadness, and he sighed: "Why do you..."

But Mei Liusheng looked at Cheng Ying and said firmly: "Miss Cheng, I will pay back what he owes you, and whatever you want to do to him is directed at me, but..."

He said, picking up the sword in his hand: "If you want to kill us, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Cheng Ying didn't expect that he would say these words, his face was gloomy for a while, and he was about to give orders, but was stopped by a group of people.

A young soldier couldn't bear it and said: "Miss, after all, they are sent by the imperial court, we..."

"Shut up!" Cheng Ying scolded in a low voice, and raised her eyebrows: "I will settle the score with you later for letting them escape privately!"

Just as he was about to order someone to arrest him, at this moment, he heard someone shouting: "Stop!"

Everyone turned around to look, only to see a small soldier rushing over, knelt down before him and said: "Miss, the general returns to the residence."

Hearing this sentence, Mei Liusheng's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.But at the same time, I was a little uneasy.

This Cheng Qi, needless to say, was also called by Cheng Ying, but he was not yet clear about Cheng Qi's attitude towards him.

Did he treat him as the former king of Yi and show his allegiance, or was he a traitor who deceived the emperor and captured him and sent him to the emperor?

However, no matter what his situation will be, Su Qinglang's life can be regarded as saved...

He stood in the courtyard with Su Qinglang on his back, heard Su Qinglang cough a few times, and said, "Brother Mei, put me down first."

Mei Liusheng turned his head to the side, worried: "Can you?"

But Su Qinglang smiled wryly: "Old General Cheng is my father's old friend and the mainstay of the court. How can I be rude in front of him? Don't worry, it's fine."

Mei Liusheng had no choice but to lower his body and put him down. Seeing that Su Qinglang's footsteps were weak and almost fell, he quickly supported him and let him stand with his hands supported.

After a while, I saw a majestic old general, dressed in iron armor and with a sword hanging on his waist, walking forward, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

When he came to the front, he first took a look at Mei Liusheng, and when he saw Cheng Ying coming up to meet him, he just called out "Father" before he raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

Cheng Ying covered her face with tears in her eyes, she was very wronged: "Father..."

But Cheng Qi said angrily: "Nonsense! Do you want to kill our general's mansion?"

Seeing that Cheng Qi didn't arrest him as a traitor first, Mei Liusheng was a little relieved, but when he looked around, he couldn't see Cheng Ying following him, so he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

After thinking about it carefully, it became somewhat clear that Cheng Ying made a big mistake this time. To put it more seriously, their general’s residence was covering up traitors and deceiving the emperor. capital offense?At this time, Cheng Qi detained Chengying, presumably to negotiate terms with him?

From this point of view, he had no intention of surrendering, nor did he intend to capture him to claim credit. This was already the best scenario Mei Liusheng had foreseen.

Therefore, he secretly calculated in his heart that if he wanted Cheng Qi to submit to him, he should not rush for a while, and had to make plans later.

On the other hand, Su Qinglang, seeing Cheng Ying was greeted by a slap instead of a sword, knew that Cheng Qi intended to defend her, and what she was doing now was just for him to see.

Regarding this matter, he had no intention of pursuing it, so regarding Cheng Qi's words and deeds, he just watched from the sidelines, looking for opportunities to push the boat along the way and give them a higher level.

While crying, Cheng Ying pointed at Su Qinglang and said, "That traitor is here, don't you hate him, don't you want him to die?"

Seeing that Cheng Ying was still impulsive and stubborn, completely disregarding the overall situation, Cheng Qi got angry and wanted to raise his hand again, but was quickly stopped by the people around him.

"General, calm down, general..." A group of people grabbed Cheng Qi, looked at Cheng Ying and said, "Miss, please don't say a few words."

At this moment, Su Qinglang stood up, and slowly said: "Miss Cheng is young and energetic, she was deceived by others for a while, and she will teach her well in the future, so why does Old General Cheng get angry?"

Cheng Qi was startled when he heard this, never expecting that Su Qinglang would speak for Cheng Ying.

He turned his head, looked at Su Qinglang, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, yes... my daughter is ignorant, she has wronged Lord Su this time, and the law of the court is like this. If she is not punished, how can she be worthy of the emperor and the court?"

Hearing his obvious defense, Su Qinglang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Old General Cheng was upright, loyal, majestic, and a man who ruled the entire army when he was young, but now he did such a thing for the sake of his children. What a disgrace, it's pathetic.

But thinking of the letter that was written by his father, thrown away before it was delivered, and finally fell into his hands, Su Qinglang was silent, and sighed again.

He pushed Mei Liusheng away, took two steps forward, and smiled: "Old General Cheng has a very close personal relationship with my father, Miss Cheng is like a clear and bright younger sister, as an older brother, how can there be any reason to haggle over younger sisters? Our children's family is just messing around, how can our internal mediation be involved in the court's laws?"

Although Cheng Qi hated Su Qinglang, he didn't want to lose the lives of his family for it. Seeing the steps he gave him, he naturally climbed along the poles.

He sighed, and said again: "Your father and I have not seen each other for many years, I wonder if he is okay now?"

Su Qinglang smiled: "Father is fine, but I can't help but feel worried when I hear that Old General Cheng is back on the battlefield, and I've always wanted to say hello to you."

Thinking of Su Zheshan, Cheng Qi also felt a little emotional, and sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about it. If I have the opportunity to go to Chang'an someday, I will definitely pay a visit."

Seeing that Su Qinglang calmed down the atmosphere with a few words, and even brought Cheng Qi closer, Mei Liusheng couldn't help but approve in his heart.

Regardless of Cheng Qi's real thoughts, at least now that the problem and crisis are resolved, he will not give Su Qinglang a cold face in the future.

Seeing Su Qinglang swaying and almost falling, Mei Liusheng took a quick step to support him.

Seeing this, Cheng Qi told his subordinates: "Go and get the doctor quickly." As he said that, he gave Cheng Ying a warning look.

Su Qinglang's eyes turned black, he felt the world was spinning, and with Mei Liusheng around, he still couldn't hold on, and with his support, he slowly slumped on the ground.

After calming down for a while, he looked at Cheng Qi and said, "General Cheng, Mr. Cai who came with Qinglang, thought he didn't know you were going back home, so General Lao invited him over."

Hearing the meaning of Su Qinglang's words, Cheng Qi gave Cheng Ying a sideways glance, then waved his hand to signal for someone to go down and let Cai Jun out.

Cai Jun was caught out of the noodle tank yesterday, and before he had time to clean it, he looked like a god statue in the Town God's Temple, disheveled and embarrassed.

Seeing this, Cheng Qi became even more furious, and looked at Cheng Ying with an ugly expression.

Knowing Cai Jun's identity, he apologized and cupped his hands: "Master Cai, Mr. Cheng has no way to teach his daughter, so Master Cai has suffered."

No matter how good-tempered Cai Jun is, he still has backbone, not to mention how can he tolerate such audacious things now that he is in the Ministry of Punishment?

So with a stern face, he snorted: "Where, the general's residence has a special etiquette for receiving imperial envoys, which opened my eyes for Haosheng."

Looking down, he saw Su Qinglang being supported by Mei Liusheng, who was still sitting on the ground, and hurried over: "Master Su, are you alright?"

Su Qinglang smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, but it surprised Master Cai."

Cheng Qi on the side said: "Today's incident is really Cheng's fault, and there will be a banquet some other day."

Cai Jun just wanted to refute back, but was pinched by Su Qinglang calmly, paused, and had no choice but to swallow it reluctantly.
