A traitor

Mei Liusheng was about to look for someone, but unexpectedly, the person bumped into his hand.

At that time, a group of people rode in the direction of the border town.Unexpectedly, just turning a corner and passing a tavern in Chang'an City, I saw the mad Taoist drinking there. Mei Liu gave birth to his horse, walked up to him, and bowed deeply to the mad Taoist: "The Taoist priest is here. I want to go out and find you.

The mad Taoist glanced at him, smiled, and did not speak, but continued to drink.

After a while, he said: "I said we will meet in Chang'an City, how about it, is that right?"

Mei Liusheng was anxious and didn't intend to deal with him, so he cupped his hands and said, "Taoist priest, human life is at stake, please follow Wansheng to the mansion to have a look, if Taoist priest can save Qinglang's life, Wansheng will be very grateful."

One foot of the mad Taoist stepped on the stool next to him, and he yawned: "Young man, what are you in a hurry for?"

Mei Liusheng saw that he looked relaxed and content, and even drowsily wanted to sleep, so he couldn't help becoming more anxious, and said with a frown: "Master, Qinglang is in a critical situation, there is no need to delay, please..."

Before he finished speaking, the mad Taoist raised his hand to stop him, and then pointed to the restaurant and said: "I ordered the Huadiao wine here, and if the wine is not served, I will not leave. Just wait."

If it was an ordinary matter, with Mei Liusheng's temper, he would have had a sword across his neck long ago, and he had to go if he went, or if he didn't go.

However, this matter was related to Su Qinglang's life, so he didn't dare to take any risks, so he could only endure his impatience and retreat to the side, waiting dryly.

After a while, as expected, the servant of the restaurant brought up the wine jar, the mad Taoist poured all the wine into his gourd, shook it, and then stood up: "Let's go..."

Back in the mansion, the imperial doctors were surrounding Su Qinglang giving needles. The mad Taoist pushed aside the crowd, and when he saw Su Qinglang lying half dead on the bed, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He carefully pulled out the silver needle, and stretched out his hand to help Su Qinglang up. Everyone held their breath, hoping that he would have some coup to rescue Su Qinglang.

However, he saw him reaching for the gourd on his waist, and before he recovered, he poured all the Huadiao wine he just bought into Su Qinglang's mouth.

The hops splashed and wet Su Qinglang's clothes, Mei Liusheng was startled, and stepped forward a few steps, trying to stop him: "Taoist!"

Even the few imperial doctors in the room became angry, and they all accused: "Nonsense! It's too much nonsense!"

But seeing the mad Taoist as if he had never heard of it, he took out a black elixir from his bosom, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Young Master Su, the old Taoist has no other skills, he can only help you so far, the rest It’s up to you to decide.”

Feed the pill into Su Qinglang's mouth, then put him down, walked to the table in the room and sat down, crossed his legs and started drinking.

"Ginseng, deer antler, snow lotus, snake blood..."

A young imperial doctor murmured, and then smiled bitterly: "They are all great tonic medicinal materials. With Mr. Su's current body, he can't bear it at all..."

The mad Taoist glanced at him, quite surprised: "You little doctor, your nose is quite good, but you should pay attention to what you said is not enough to make up for it, and you should pay attention to it when you take care of it. This young man is already like this, so let's hang it up for the time being." His life is the most important thing, if he lost his life, what is there to take care of?"

Although the imperial doctor didn't agree with his method, but the words were reasonable, out of respect for the senior, he didn't say anything, just bowed his head to him as if taught.

The matter did not come to fruition, and I still don't know whether the effect will be good or bad. Mei Liusheng couldn't say anything, so he could only stand in the room and wait quietly.

About an hour later, Su Qinglang coughed suddenly, lying on the edge of the bed coughing, and vomiting at the same time.

Mei Liusheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to go forward, but Su Zheshan and Liang Shi took the first step. Seeing that they were lying on the bed and guarding, there was no room for him, so they didn't go any further, just stood aside and watched.

After vomiting almost all the wine in his belly, Su Qinglang slowly raised his head, saw the people sitting behind Su Zheshan and Liang Shi, and smiled again: "Master Dao..."

He had just recovered a bit, and his body was still very weak. Just after he said this, he coughed again, fell on the bed, and struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Su Zheshan got up and sat on the edge of the bed, letting him lean against him.At this time, the mad Taoist also came over and said: "Young master, it seems that he has suffered a lot."

Su Qinglang smiled, and half-deprecatingly said: "It's just mediocrity and self-inflicted suffering, which makes the Daoist laugh."

The Taoist stared at him for a moment, then said: "I said that your life has been full of twists and turns, but I didn't expect that the young master is still so open-minded and open-minded. He really lives up to his name."

Su Qinglang's mind is clear now, unlike the past few days, at least he can have normal conversations with people.

Hearing this, he went on to say: "Whether it's twists and turns or bumps, Daoist Master, you and I just met by chance, but you came here to save my life. It can be seen that God treats me well in the end."

The crazy Taoist looked at him, and nodded approvingly: "The old Taoist really saw the right person, Young Master Su, why don't you leave everything in front of you and travel with the old Taoist?"

Mei Liusheng frowned, seemingly displeased: "Why did the Taoist priest say that?"

The mad Taoist smiled, and replied: "With Mr. Su's intelligence, he must know what I mean. Standing in the mouth of the typhoon is not a good thing after all. If you give up now, it will be a way out to protect yourself."

Su Qinglang's expression froze for a moment, and then he said: "The Taoist priest is kind, Qinglang understands."

He paused, and then said: "Here are my family, friends, and my monarch. Qingming's responsibility is not over, and the world is not broken. For people like me, if I follow the Taoist priest, I am afraid that I have not escaped from the world. It dragged the Taoist priest into this ten thousand zhang mud."

Seeing what he said, the mad Taoist stopped insisting, and finally said: "That's all right, the old Taoist finally advises you, don't think too much, don't worry too much, do everything according to your ability, you shouldn't do it yourself You don't have to carry it around."

Su Qinglang nodded, and said: "Yes, Qinglang remembers the Taoist priest's teachings."

After seeing the sickness and talking, the mad Taoist turned and left. Mei Liusheng tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail. He could only thank him and send him out.

Su Qinglang can't move now, so naturally he can't see him off. Seeing this, Cai Jun and Lu Xun, together with Mei Liusheng, sent the crazy Taoist priest out.

Walking into the courtyard, the mad Taoist stopped, turned to look at Mei Liusheng and said, "No matter how good the idea is, this is the only time. The old Taoist saw that Mr. Su has a free and easy personality, and he is quite sympathetic with me, so he came here to meet me." See, he is not willing to go with me today, I have ended my relationship with him, I will not come here in the future, and you don't need to look for me again."

Lu Xun was straightforward, and couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words: "What, he doesn't want to become a Taoist priest with you, so why don't you just ask about his life?"

The mad Taoist looked at him, smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I don't ask, but that I can't ask. I have already said that no matter how good it is, it's only this time. If there is another time, even if you find me, I can't do anything." gone."

As he spoke, he looked at Mei Liusheng again: "Instead of pinning your hopes on others, why not think about what you can do for that young master Su."

Mei Liusheng frowned again: "The Taoist priest means..."

The mad Taoist glanced at the room, and replied: "The young master did not die this time, but he has long since lost hope of living. The most important thing in life is to have a breath to hold on. Even he himself If he doesn't want to live, who can save him?"

Mei Liusheng thought for a moment, came back to his senses, and then cupped his hands to the mad Taoist priest: "Thank you for reminding me, Wan Sheng understands."

He straightened up and said again: "From now on, whatever he wants to do, we will do for him, and we won't let Qingming worry about it anymore."

The mad Taoist nodded, yawned lazily again, turned around and continued walking, and said, "However, there are some things that you have to be clear about. Once the strings in your heart are loosened, you may collapse." , I can't hold on at all, and I will die faster, and it may not be..."

Hearing him say such unlucky words, Lu Xun was even more unconvinced, pointing at his back and saying, "Hey, you..."

Cai Jun held him back, and then looked at Mei Liusheng: "Mei...Master Mei, are you going to..."

Mei Liusheng lowered his eyes, and continued: "For a long time, Qinglang has only one thing on his mind, and I will do it for him, not to mention..."

He paused, and then said: "I have already planned for this matter, even if it is not clear, I will do it."

Cai Jun's heart was surging, and he still reminded: "This matter is very risky, the emperor will not take the initiative to admit his mistake..."

Mei Liusheng smiled and said lightly: "This matter is imperative, whether to admit his mistake or not is no longer up to him to decide."

In fact, he was still somewhat selfish, if the emperor really suppressed this matter and let Su Qinglang see clearly what the emperor was like, then maybe he would give up and choose to be with him.

Lu Xun looked at Cai Jun, then at Mei Liusheng, and said, "It's true that Mr. Su wants to vindicate the unjust case, but don't forget who else is involved in this matter, Mr. Sun..."

As he said that, he looked at the room where Su Qinglang lived, and said in a low voice: "Master Su and him have been classmates for many years, and they have a deep relationship. Can they withstand such a blow?"

Mei Liusheng fell silent, and then said with a wry smile: "Qinglang is always smart, do you think he doesn't know things that even we can see?"

Turning around and looking at the room not far away, he murmured: "Some things, now that you know about them, you still keep your composure. I'm afraid he has a plan in mind. Since this curtain must be lifted no matter what, instead of letting others It's better to let us be this "villain" after all the hard work, maybe it can make him feel better..."

Cai Jun and Lu Xun hummed, lowered their heads, sighed with emotion for a while.

Then I heard Mei Liusheng say calmly: "The storm is coming, it's time to pay off the debts I owed."
