A traitor

Because Cheng Qi arrived in time, Mei Liusheng and Su Qinglang were finally out of danger, but Mei Liusheng still suffered some injuries in order to protect Su Qinglang.

This incident was all Cheng Ying's responsibility, even if Cheng Qi wanted to protect her, there was nothing he could do.

In the general's mansion, Cheng Ying knelt in front of everyone, followed by those generals who helped her lie and play tricks to deceive Su Qinglang.

Cheng Qi was silent for a moment, then pointed at Cheng Ying: "Catch her up for me."

"General!"

Seeing him issue such an order, everyone couldn't bear it, especially those who were kneeling behind Cheng Ying, and hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "General, this matter was all done by us, and it has nothing to do with the eldest lady. please……"

"Shut up for me!"

Before she finished speaking, she was scolded by Cheng Ying. She turned her head slightly, her face looking a little gloomy.

After all such painstaking calculations, Su Qinglang escaped from the siege, so naturally he was very unwilling.

After a while, she looked at Cheng Qi again and said, "One person does something and another person does it. This is all my plan. They are just ordered by me and dare not disobey."

Said, Hengmei looked at Su Qinglang, and said coldly: "I just want him to die, but now that I have failed, I have nothing to say, you can kill me."

Seeing this, the people around Cheng Qi hurriedly said: "General, there is a reason for the eldest lady to do this, not to mention Mrs. Su is not injured, this matter..."

"shut up!"

Cheng Qi became furious, and the long whip in his hand fell to the ground: "The military order is like a mountain. In your eyes, what is the military camp?"

Cheng Ying raised her head, and tears immediately fell down: "What about Xie Yu and the others?"

"Father, Uncle Xie and the others are kind to us, and Xie Yu and I are even more engaged. Now that they have died unjustly, you just watch them bear the stigma?"

She was emotional, and stared at Cheng Qi with red eyes, feeling a little resentful. After a while, she sneered sadly: "I see, you don't care, Dad, otherwise you wouldn't treat Su Qinglang like this, let him Walking around in our general's mansion at will, how many dead people are there, where is your official position and future important?"

Cheng Qi never expected that she would say such words, her face turned black with anger, she leaned back, staggered a few steps, and almost fell down.

After being supported, he pointed at Cheng Ying with a trembling finger: "You...you still don't know how to repent..."

Seeing that Cheng Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak, and seeing Cheng Ying's look of taking it for granted, Su Qinglang stood up and said, "Miss Cheng, since this matter involves me, do you mind if I ask a few questions?"

He walked a few steps, stood not far from Cheng Ying, and asked condescendingly, "Do you know how many people died in this matter?"

Cheng Ying was startled, then raised her head to look at Su Qinglang in a daze, and heard him say: "Excluding those whose whereabouts are unknown, there are about 500 people."

He said, walking slowly, and his heavy words echoed in the silence: "They bid farewell to their relatives and left their hometowns. Because of their enthusiasm and loyalty to the court, they came here from thousands of miles to join the army. They are not afraid of hardships and dangers. I entrusted my life to you generals, but what have you done?"

"As a soldier, stand upright, even if you are going to die, you should die on the battlefield with dignity..."

He stopped in his tracks, pointed at Cheng Ying and said, "As a general, you should love your soldiers like your own sons, empathize with every injury and death, and never waste one's life, but you... deprived them of their glory for your own personal revenge Send them to such a humiliating death!"

"It's all your fault!"

Cheng Ying cried and yelled loudly, and because of losing control of his emotions, his face became more ferocious: "Everything was fine before you came to Qinzhou..."

"Did I make you do this? Did I force you to do this?"

Seeing that Cheng Ying still did not repent, Su Qinglang became even more angry, and asked sharply: "When you came up with this plan, didn't you think about what to do with those people who left with me? Didn't you think about it?" , They also have family members, there are old men with white hair waiting for their sons to come home, newlywed wives waiting for their husbands to return, and infants who are still in their infancy, and even their fathers have not had time to meet?"

"You said you hate me, you want to kill me, then who do they hate, who do they seek revenge? Do you have any brains, do you think they are all fake people!"

Since Mei Liusheng and Cai Jun knew him, they had never seen Su Qinglang get so angry. Although they were worried about his injury, but seeing the scene in front of him and his furious appearance, it was difficult to go forward to persuade him. Standing in one place, listening dryly, with many sighs and emotions in my heart.

During his questioning, Cheng Ying's emotions completely collapsed, he screamed at the sky, and fell to the ground and burst into tears.

A few soldiers fled with Su Qinglang. After experiencing the scene at that time, recalling it now, they couldn't help lowering their heads and weeping silently.

Su Qinglang turned to the people behind Cheng Ying: "And you..."

The few people looked up at him, only to hear Su Qinglang continue: "Among the more than 500 people, there are people you know, some of them should be familiar even if you don't know them, and they all say that the friendship in the army is as strong as iron and stone. , this parent is that parent, are you crazy to do such a thing?

In the future, when you pass the news of your death back to your hometown, how should you explain it to the family members who have lost their loved ones, and say that your brother died in battle and was extremely honorable, or was he so innocent that he died in your sinister schemes? "

"Until just now, you still didn't know where you were wrong, where you should repent, and you were vying to take responsibility for your eldest lady. You think this is quite decent and righteous, right?

Then when you were righteous, why didn't you think of those who died? More than 500 lives, more than 500 families, you ask yourself, can you afford it? "

Seeing those people bowed their heads with shame on their faces, he looked at the people around Cheng Qi again: "Just now those who said Miss Cheng had a reason, and those who said Master Su is fine..."

He turned around and faced them: "In your eyes, are there only Miss Cheng and Mrs. Su? Isn't the most important thing about this matter is the lives of more than 500 people? Who are you from them? What excuses, why forgive them for them?"

Those people were speechless, Su Qinglang held back his tears, and looked back at Cheng Ying: "Even so, even if you die, you can't rest in peace. In such a situation, someone asked me to tell you that they are all willing, and I have never regretted it. Cheng Ying, until now, I only ask you one question..."

He pointed to those who survived not far away: "In front of them, tell me, are you really right?"

Cheng Ying cried even more, lying on the ground, and screamed after a while: "You kill me..."

Su Qinglang looked at her for a moment, then looked away, and said loudly: "What you did today will be judged by law and discipline. Today I will put my words here..."

He said, looking sideways at Cheng Qi: "I will definitely report this matter to the emperor in every detail. Whose responsibility will be at that time, and I can't get away with it. If anyone is partial, I, Su Qinglang Even if you fight to the death, you will investigate to the end, unless you kill me now, never let me go back."

Said, stepping away, Mei Liusheng also followed behind him, Cai Jun looked left and right for a moment, finally sighed, and also chased after him.

Unexpectedly, Master Su was in a bad mood, and when he returned to the room, he slammed the door behind him. Cai Jun made fun of himself, and saw Mei Liusheng here, so he left.

Mei Liusheng stood at the door and knocked on the door: "Qinglang..."

Seeing that Su Qinglang didn't answer, he just opened the door and went in, only to see him sitting sideways at the table with a sullen face.

He walked over, sat opposite him, kneeled in silence for a while, and then slowly said: "About today's matter..."

Su Qinglang still had a sullen face, and said unceremoniously: "I don't want to talk about that right now, get out!"

It was a mess today, and Mei Liusheng had mixed feelings. He looked at Su Qinglang for a moment, and because of his injury, he couldn't help but coughed a few times while clutching his wound.

Hearing this, Su Qinglang's eyes paused on him, and after a while, his tone softened a lot: "You have an injury on your body, go and bandage it first."

Don't look away, paused, and added: "I'm fine, other things, I'll talk about it later."

Knowing that Su Qinglang is currently in a fit of anger, and that she has done something that made him angry, Mei Liusheng could only admit that it was bad luck, and said uneasy: "Then...you are here by yourself, don't think wildly, and don't be anxious. What's the matter, let's figure it out together."

Su Qinglang hummed, lowered his head, Mei Liusheng looked at him for a while, saw that he didn't respond to him, then got up and left angrily.

Leaving Su Qinglang's residence and walking, he saw a person waiting on the road.

Mei Liusheng's footsteps paused, he remembered this person, one of the people who escaped with them, seemed to be called Chen Muhai or something.

Thinking of what he did to Su Qinglang on the battlefield in front of everyone, even Mei Liusheng felt a little ashamed. Fortunately, everyone's eyes are now on Cheng Ying's matter, and he has not thought of him yet, so he feels better many.But at this time, seeing this person alone, I feel a little guilty.

He bravely walked over, bowed his hands to Chen Muhai and said, "So it's General Chen, what's going on here?"

Chen Muhai looked at him. After all, he had witnessed such a thing before. When he saw Mei Liusheng, his expression was not natural. He lowered his head and said, "The general is waiting for Master Mei."

Thinking of Su Qinglang, he clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and said, "Before Master Su, General Tuo Mo will bring a few words to Master Mei, and only say that after his death, he will let the general speak to Master Mei, but the general will think about it later." After thinking about it for a long time, it's better to tell Lord Mei about this matter..."

Mei Liusheng was startled, with a faint premonition, and nodded hesitantly after a while.
