A traitor

After recuperating in the General's Mansion for a period of time, Su Qinglang's body was fine.

Thinking about the disaster victims in Bingzhou, he discussed with Mei Liusheng and Cai Jun for two days, and decided on a plan for the time being, and tried to follow Cheng Qi's idea of ​​recruiting surrender first.

During Su Qinglang's recuperation period, the rebel army gathered forces again and launched several attacks on Qinzhou City.

But Mei Liusheng and Cheng Qi prevented them from going back. Since there was no effect of calming the chaos for a long time, the court was also very anxious, and the emperor issued several imperial edicts to urge them.It can be said that the situation is very serious and urgent.

In the conference hall of the General's Mansion, Su Qinglang stood in the center and said eloquently: "If I fail to persuade you to make peace this time, then we will have to fight each other."

Cheng Qi hesitated for a moment, then asked: "This method is very good, but... among us, who should we send to negotiate peace?"

Su Qinglang stood up straight, and replied: "Recruiting the enemy army is no small matter, I will go there in person."

Having said this, Mei Liusheng couldn't bear to say: "The rebel army is rampant, after all it's too dangerous, Master Su..."

Cai Jun on the side also echoed: "Yes, yes, or let Master Mei and I go. Master Su, you have just recovered from your injuries, so you should not work hard. You should stay in the general's mansion and wait for our news."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang continued, "It's dangerous for me to go to the enemy camp of the rebel army, but it's equally dangerous for you to go. Since I'm the supervisor of the army, how can I retreat before the battle?"

Mei Liusheng said: "Master Su is the supervisor of the army, and he should stay in the city to preside over the overall situation. If something happened to me and Mr. Cai, with your intelligence, you can still try to save us. No matter what Mr. Cai says, it is also important to the court. Members, going to negotiate peace this time is considered to be giving them face, to show that the court attaches great importance to it. As for safety, with Cheng Ying and I following him, Mr. Su does not have to worry, let alone..."

He paused, looked at Su Qinglang for a few moments, and then said: "Master Su is injured, if the two parties really quarrel, it will be a burden for us to protect you. Master Su is sympathetic to the safety of others, and must also consider the overall situation. For Cheng Ying, protecting Master Cai is much easier than protecting you, Master Su."

What Mei Liusheng said was the truth, but after all, Su Qinglang was not at ease after letting them go into the enemy camp: "But..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Liusheng picked up his clothes, turned his head away and said, "That's it."

The other people in the hall all looked at the two of them and fell silent for a while.

Unlike Cheng Qi, they knew Mei Liusheng's true identity, and seeing the two of them arguing this time, each of them was secretly shocked.

Mei Liusheng and the others didn't understand much, but this Su Qinglang was very clear.

The young master of the Su family, the second rank in the dynasty, has been doted on by thousands of people since he was a child, and he wants the stars not to pick the moon. After becoming an official, he will act recklessly. Who would dare to go against his wishes?

However, this Mei Liusheng, a small newcomer, dared to challenge Su Qinglang, and what's more, he was so strong that he directly directed his superiors' actions.

Looking at Su Qinglang again, there was no sign of displeasure at all, the previous aura was suppressed by Mei Liusheng, and he couldn't help but become more puzzled about the relationship between the two.

Cheng Qi sat in the first place, looked at Mei Liusheng, then at Su Qinglang, and fell silent.

From a personal point of view, he naturally hoped that Su Qinglang would go to persuade him to make peace this time, preferably in the enemy camp of the rebels, and if he was killed on the spot, it would be regarded as revenge for the Xie family.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, what Mei Liusheng said is not wrong, letting Su Qinglang stay in the city is the best decision.

He hesitated for a while before saying: "Since that's the case, Mr. Su, you just...stay here."

Before Su Qinglang could speak, Cai Jun hurriedly said, "Yes, Master Su, although this time is to persuade peace, the rebels still have to guard against it. With you and General Cheng in the rear, Master Mei and I can also Take it easy."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay..."

Everyone tidied up and opened the city gate to send Mei Liusheng and Cai Jun out of the city. Su Qinglang knew that what they said and did was for their own safety. With such loyalty, he couldn't help being moved. He stood on the city tower and watched the situation. Never dare to relax for a moment.

On the other hand, Cheng Qi, seeing that Mei Liusheng cared so much about him, was inevitably puzzled.

Standing by Su Qinglang's side, after a moment of silence, he said: "That Mr. Mei is a rare talent, and he and Mr. Su have a very good personal relationship."

Su Qinglang looked at him, looked at him for a while, and then replied: "Master Mei is the champion of the new department, and his ability and conduct are outstanding. As for personal friendship, we are officials in the same dynasty and have done a few errands together. Naturally, we are familiar with each other. Network."

He said, with a hint of prudence in his eyes, and continued: "General Cheng seems to be quite interested in Mr. Mei."

Cheng Qi knew that he was always suspicious, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "It's just a casual question, please don't worry about it, Mr. Su."

Su Qinglang looked at him for a while before saying meaningfully: "Is that so..."

There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, and then he didn't say anything again.

Everyone stood on the tower and waited for a while, only to see Mei Liusheng and Cai Jun come back.

Everyone was downcast, obviously not going well, but the clothes were still neat, and there was no trace of fighting with others.

Seeing the team coming to the gate of the city, Cheng Qi hurriedly ordered someone to let them in, and then walked down the tower, meeting them head-on.

Cheng Qi walked out first, and asked eagerly, "How is the situation?"

Cai Jun and Mei Liusheng looked at each other, then looked at Su Qinglang and said, "They said that they heard that Mr. Su came to Qinzhou and wanted to see Mr. Su."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang paused with the folding fan in his hand, then said with a sneer: "The Altair and Vega on the edge of the Milky Way always have to meet each other."

Hearing what he said, Mei Liusheng's face darkened: "I'll go with you."

Su Qinglang glanced at him, pondered for a moment before saying: "No, you've already been there once, it's not appropriate to go a second time, just ask General Cheng to find some capable guards."

"But……"

Thinking of the grievances between the Cheng family and Su Qinglang, as well as the Qinzhou soldiers' hatred for Su Qinglang, sending him out of the city at this time, plus those rebels, would be tantamount to letting him die.

But Su Qinglang smiled silently, and then said: "If you are worried about me, then stay here and wait for me to come back."

He glanced at Cheng Qi, then at Cai Jun, folded his hands, and continued, "Although I, Su Qinglang, am a scholar, I'm not so useless. It's just a small enemy camp, and it's not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. I will back."

Cheng Qi didn't expect that Su Qinglang, as a generation of treacherous ministers, would be so enlightened. He hesitated for a moment, but said reluctantly: "It's getting late now, why don't we wait until tomorrow?"

"No need."

Su Qinglang turned around and walked towards the city gate: "I promised Erniang to go back early, but I don't want to waste time here, if I go back late..."

He paused, then looked back at them and smiled: "Er Niang will punish me."

Cheng Qi couldn't help being stunned, he didn't like Su Qinglang before, he thought he was delicate and dressed in gaudy clothes, without any masculinity.

On the contrary, now I feel that if he pulls the most masculine general in his army out to stand with Su Qinglang, he may not be much taller than him.

For a man, the most courageous thing is not to give up life and death and kill the enemy on the battlefield, but to go home safe and sound after experiencing danger, but still be able to ride through the wind and rain.

The city gate opened, and Su Qinglang led a group of people out of the city again. He held the reins at the gate and looked at the dark line of enemy soldiers ahead.

Tens of thousands of horses are like dark clouds in the sky. Due to the large number of people, the action produces dust all over the sky, covering the front of the team and being swept up by the strong wind.

Su Qinglang sat on the horseback, and said loudly: "I know you don't like me, wish you could kill me now, but a man should be open and frank in the world, distinguish priorities, and see right from wrong , Now that the enemy soldiers are approaching, our fathers and villagers are all in the fire and water. If you have something to say, let us come back and say, what kind of enmity is there? When the rebellion is put down, just charge me one by one. At that time, you can kill me , count your skills, now..."

He raised his whip, pointed at the enemy camp in front of him and said, "Come with me, don't be timid, don't back down, can you do it?"

Inside the city wall, Mei Liusheng raised his head slightly, accompanied by a reply that resounded through the sky.

Although he didn't know what Su Qinglang said outside, there was something in his chest that couldn't stop being excited.

He understood that this was morale, even though those people hated him to the bone and hated him extremely, Su Qinglang still aroused their morale.

Cai Jun stood aside, seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by the door, he moved to the side of Mei Liusheng, and whispered: "Master Mei, are we really not going to send anyone to follow? This person from Qinzhou has a blood feud with Master Su. I wish I could get rid of it and then hurry up, if..."

He looked at the people around him, saw that no one heard him, and continued: "If they join forces with the rebels and sell Master Su, what's more, they kill Master Su on the way, saying it's a traitor." What the army has done, Master Su, without you and me by his side, it would be impossible to escape."

Mei Liusheng looked at the closed city gate in front of him, and smiled slightly: "No way..."

Facing Cai Jun's surprised gaze, he withdrew his gaze again, and murmured: "He is so cute, who can bear it?"

In this world, there is probably only one Su Qinglang who can accept orders in such a situation, completely disregarding his own safety.

It doesn't matter whether he is open-minded or courageous, but he is a soldier and a general, and he likes it.

Think about it too, leaving their homes and fighting bloody battles, one by one of them, which one does not have the enthusiasm for serving the country and the hope of protecting innocent people?

Now that he has such an opportunity, how can he put Su Qinglang to death for his own personal revenge, regardless of the overall situation?

In times of crisis, it is up to one's ability to fight or kill after the crisis.

There is only one Su Qinglang in the world who can achieve this level.
