A traitor

Su Qinglang didn't do anything in the end, and stood in the courtyard for a long time, still unable to take Mei Liusheng's life.

Yu Gong, in this court, there are not only Li Chengsi and Pei Yan, but also Qin Jian, and now only Pei Yan can stop Qin Jian. If Li Chengsi dies, what should he do?

Furthermore, even though there were thousands of reluctances in his heart, he had to admit that Li Chengsi was the most suitable monarch in the Southern Tang Dynasty to hand over the country to the emperor or the prince.

It's just an increase in internal friction, and sooner or later there will be a big mess. He is not sure whether killing Li Chengsi today is right or wrong for the entire Southern Tang Dynasty.

In private, Li Chengsi had saved his life many times before, and he never had the chance to repay him, but now he wants to kill him with his own hands, really...

Although hundreds of resolutions have been made before, if he is really determined today, he will definitely die here.

But now, only one step away, he felt that the dagger in his hand was entangled with thousands of silk threads, and he couldn't cut it down no matter what.

He was silent for a moment, then put down his hand slumpedly, and took two steps back. Just when he was about to turn around, he heard Mei Liusheng say: "Lord Su..."

The voice was exceptionally calm, completely different from the drunken look just now, Su Qinglang was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at him steadily, but was a little bit unable to react.

"You..." He was speechless for a moment, his face turned cold, and he frowned, "Are you pretending?"

Now Mei Liusheng is actually very happy in his heart, no matter what the reason is, Su Qinglang has not harmed him.

He took two steps forward, came to Su Qinglang, looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Qinglang, I knew that you couldn't bear to hurt me."

As he said that, he was about to pull his hand, but Su Qinglang swung it away forcefully, as if he had been frightened by something, he tried his best to avoid it, and distanced himself from Mei Liusheng.

If Mei Liusheng hadn't woken up today, he would still be the same as usual, and conspire with him again, the bad thing is that not only is he awake now, but he has never been drunk since the beginning. What he said and did just now, Just to test him.Therefore, how to control the next situation has become a tricky thing.

Seeing him avoiding her, Mei Liusheng frowned, and said in a cold voice, "How long will you be avoiding?"

He looked at Su Qinglang, and said patiently: "You know, the emperor you are loyal to is not a big deal at all, and if the Southern Tang Dynasty falls into his hands, it will only get worse and worse, who else do you want to count on?

Is that the prince?Even if he really has made progress now, enough to take charge of his own affairs, when it comes to handling the government affairs, it will be the Year of the Monkey again?Can you wait, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the enemy troops on the border, can they wait? "

Su Qinglang confronted him, and when he heard him say this, he sneered coldly: "I made a bad move, and I believed the wrong person, and now that I know His Highness's secret, you can kill me."

Mei Liusheng looked at him helplessly, and said after a while, "I won't kill you."

After a pause, he added: "You know, I like you."

"Don't say such things again!"

Until now, he is still saying that he likes it, how funny and ridiculous.

Su Qinglang was angry in his heart, interrupted his words in anger, and said coldly: "Even if His Royal Highness Yiwang doesn't do something today, Su will not appreciate your kindness, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely kill you .”

"You won't." Mei Liusheng said flatly, "If you can really kill me, you would have done it from the very beginning, Qing Lang, do you still want to lie to yourself?"

He approached Su Qinglang, as if forcing him: "You also have affection for me in your heart, and you like me too, don't you?"

Mei Liusheng really couldn't be said to be calm now, if he could really hold his breath, he definitely wouldn't say such a thing at this time.

Having just learned of his identity, Su Qinglang was already resistant to him, it would be good if he didn't kill him just now, how could he still admit that he likes him?

Sure enough, Su Qinglang became even more angry, frowning and glaring at him: "I have already said, don't say such things again!"

Mei Liusheng smiled slightly. At this point, he had no way out, and he just wanted to quickly confirm his intentions, even if he resorted to coercion.

He said to Su Qinglang: "You told me not to say such things, but this matter is very difficult to handle. It comes from my heart, and I can't help myself. What's more, I can't even control myself, so how can I control the emotions in my heart?" thing?"

Regardless of Su Qinglang's refusal and struggle, he took Su Qinglang's hand forcibly, and said in a sincere and earnest tone: "Qinglang, what do you need me to do to believe that I really like you?"

"I have done a lot of things that are not in line with my personality. I have done everything for you..."

"Knowing that you won't be on my side, knowing that the person in your heart is not me, you still violate the principle and help you again and again, what do you want me to do, what else can I do? "

Su Qinglang looked at him, he really wanted to say, you can let go of everything in front of you, don't do anything that harms the emperor and the prince, don't make everything irreparable.

However, he was still unable to speak.

The person in front of him, his family, all died because of the emperor, and to this day, his father still bears the stigma of treason.

He has experienced the pain himself, and knows what kind of unforgettable feeling it is, not to mention that in Li Chengsi's heart, apart from the pain, there is also a monstrous hatred.

Knowing his pain and torture, how could he rely on his liking to make such a cruel request to him?

He turned around, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's go..."

"Anyway, now I don't have any evidence to prove that you are Li Chengsi. Even if he goes to the emperor, he may not believe me. I will remember what happened today. Letting you go is only for the time being. From now on , you and I are enemies, who lives and who dies depends on the individual's ability."

"cool and bright……"

Hearing what he said, Mei Liusheng couldn't help but answer: "Why do you insist on doing this? Is that emperor worth your sacrifice?"

He paused, grabbed Su Qinglang's weakness, and stabbed him severely: "Don't forget, who was the one who started the case, Qin Jian? No, who killed Xie Yu, who killed Your classmates, relatives and friends, you know better than anyone else, do you really have no hatred for him at all?"

Hearing him mention the events of the year, Su Qinglang's body trembled, and it took a long time to recover. He squeezed his fingers, calmed down for a moment, and then said: "You are wrong..."

He looked at Mei Liusheng: "As a minister, throwing your head and spilling blood, what regrets do you have, what complaints do you have?"

"Over the years, you must have persuaded many people with your rhetoric just now. It's a pity that I am different from them."

"The emperor believes in me, reuses me, has been favored for many years, and has not had time to repay, how can he betray? You just explained that you know that I will not stand by your side. If that is the case, why bother?"

"you……"

Seeing that he was really persistent, Mei Liusheng had no choice but to be irritable for a while, and then said: "Let's not mention this matter for now, why don't we make a deal."

Su Qinglang looked at him, and heard him say: "I know what you want, you and I join forces, get rid of Qin Jian first, and then we will discuss the next thing."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang smiled: "Get rid of Qin Jian, but leave you alone, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to stop you."

In fact, the strategy in his heart is to use Mei Liusheng to attack Qin Jian, and also use Qin Jian to contain Mei Liusheng and Pei Yan, so that they both lose, and he will naturally benefit in the end.

But Mei Liusheng said: "I know what you think in your heart. For you, it is indeed a good plan. It's a pity that if you want to check and balance, I'm afraid that someone will not make it happen."

He walked up to Su Qinglang's side, approached him half-ambiguously, and said, "Why don't you and I make a bet to see who will be the first to fight, Qin Jian or me? I join forces, you have no choice, if I strike first, then you join Qin Jian and kill me."

Su Qinglang glanced at him sideways, but didn't speak.

He was thinking to himself with a cold face, but saw Mei Liusheng approaching suddenly, almost kissing his face, Su Qinglang subconsciously backed away, took a staggered step, almost fell, stood upright, and stared at him with eyes full of annoyance and anger.

With Mei Liusheng's skills, if he really wanted to take advantage of him just now, he would definitely not let him escape easily. Such behavior was just to tease him.

Seeing Su Qinglang's reaction, he pulled his lips into a smile, his wicked expression was full of signs of success.

At the same time, he said jokingly: "It's dark at night, Mr. Su, watch the road carefully."

Su Qinglang was so angry that he vomited blood, but after all, he had practiced in the officialdom for many years, and he had already cultivated a mind that couldn't show his emotions and anger. He turned around with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only a shadow of Mei Liusheng's back.

The bet that Mei Liusheng said really came true very quickly. In the next few days, Su Qinglang became more and more aware of the abnormalities in the imperial city.

The mobilization of officials, the deployment of defense troops, and the fact that they were all from the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything showed that Qin Jian finally couldn't wait.

After the incident in the prison, he seldom came to the prime minister's mansion. After all, Qin Jian had tried to harm him. If he didn't show any face, it would be too strange and even more suspicious.

At first, when he saw Su Qinglang walking around in the prime minister's mansion, Qin Jian was already a little alienated and afraid of him. Even when discussing things, he deliberately avoided him, and no longer relied on him as before. Su Qinglang didn't say anything about this, and every time The first time I came to Xiangfu, I just played chess with Qin Huan, and then quietly inquired about some news.

After going back and forth several times, Qin Jian finally convinced Qin Jian that he had let go of his grievances and dissatisfaction, and was willing to come back to him, so he was allowed to participate in it and discuss their so-called major issues.

From controlling the imperial city to forcing the palace to abdicate, Su Qinglang understood everything clearly.Moreover, Qin Jian put forward some suggestions seemingly ingeniously, and Qin Jian even dispelled his doubts about him.

After discussing the matter, Su Qinglang was about to return home, but was stopped by Qin Jian, who only heard him say: "I remember the truth, I reminded you that there are spies hidden by your side, have you ever found them?"

Su Qinglang was taken aback, he didn't expect Qin Jian to have such a good memory, he could still remember such a long time ago.

He thought for a while, and replied: "I have found it, and I am trying to get rid of him for the past two days."

Qin Jian asked again: "Who is it?"

Su Qinglang turned his body sideways, and replied indifferently: "Mei Liusheng, the number one scholar in the new department, the officials found out that he has some contacts with Pei Yan, and there seems to be a marriage relationship."

Qin Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, the truth, I don't want to see this person again."
