A traitor

Sleeping until midnight, Su Qinglang suddenly felt someone pushing him. Su Qinglang opened his eyes, only to see a figure standing beside his bed.

He was seven feet tall and covered in pitch black, looking down at him like a stone statue, motionless.

Su Qinglang was startled, thinking that he had seen a ghost in the middle of the night, and was about to scream out, but the man said indifferently: "Young master is calling you."

The voice seemed a little familiar, but looking at the clothes of the person, holding a sword in his arms, and looking like he could kill someone at any time, it was Mei Liusheng's bodyguard, Chengying.

This Mei Liusheng didn't sleep well, and let his guards run around to scare people, did he want to rebel?Su Qinglang got up very angry, and couldn't help but feel sullen in his stomach.

When he put on his clothes and walked out the door, he happened to meet Lu Xun who was passing by in a hurry, so he reached out and grabbed him, and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, he hesitated and said, "I...I don't know..."

The two walked on the same road, towards the door of the inn, and saw Mei Liusheng waiting there.Not far away, Sun Zizhong was walking towards here while wearing a robe.

"Brother Mei, what's the matter?" Lu Xun yawned and asked with a bitter face.

Mei Liusheng glanced at Su Qinglang, and said, "Those people have come after them."

Lu Xun let out a cry, but he still didn't realize who those people were.Moreover, they didn't even know who the people who forced them to run all the way were.

Su Qinglang was silent for a moment, and said: "You go back to sleep first, I'll go out for a while."

As he said that, he was about to go outside the inn, but Mei Liusheng and Sun Zizhong held him back at the same time.

Although Sun Zizhong didn't know why Su Qinglang was in such a hurry, he could already guess a thing or two from his attitude just now.

He and Mei Liusheng looked at each other, and then said to Su Qinglang: "Qinglang, don't be impulsive, those people, we just avoid them."

Mei Liusheng also said: "Brother Su, they made a lot of noise in order to find you. In this case, it's better not to confront them head-on."

Su Qinglang was suffocating in his heart, his face was tense like a piece of ice, but he didn't move at all. Seeing this, his grandson Zhong turned to hold his sleeve, and said earnestly: "Qinglang, you are the imperial envoy for this trip. They all came with you, how can you let you go to see them alone... If you don't want those people to bump into us, leave now."

Su Qinglang was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Call Master, we will leave now."

Outside the back door of the inn, Chengying unlocked the door bolt to let Su Qinglang and the others leave secretly. The escorting soldiers were still sleepy, and they were all yawning.

They avoided the main entrance of the inn, slipped into the stables, led the horses, and walked all the way towards the forest.

Sitting on the horseback, Su Qinglang looked back, and saw that a hundred officers and soldiers had surrounded the inn, holding torches in their hands, obviously looking for someone.

He frowned and cursed in a low voice: "There is a pit in the brain, what's wrong, I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes, bah!"

Turning his head, he saw brother Lu Xun staring straight at him, as if possessed by an evil spirit, so he stopped talking, restrained his expression, and galloped forward.

Lu Xun looked at Su Qinglang for a while, then shook his head again, telling himself in his heart that he must have misheard just now, how could their gentle and amiable Master Su be able to curse?

After walking for half a mile, I heard someone shouting from behind: "I found it, I found it, where is the man..."

Looking back again, it's all right now, the crowd is crowded, and the general holding the torch is like a fire dragon, squirming towards them quickly.

"Master Su, what should we do?" Seeing the battle, Lu Xun quickly looked at Su Qinglang.

Su Qinglang thought for a moment, then shouted: "Run!"

After the voice fell, a group of people ran towards the forest regardless of the shouts behind them.

With the breeze whistling in the mountains beside his ears, Mei Liusheng rode his horse and glanced sideways at Su Qinglang.

Under the silver moonlight, his face could not be seen clearly, only the elegant white clothes and the hunting sound of the wind blowing his sleeves could be seen.

For some reason, the dullness in his heart relaxed a lot, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he continued to concentrate on riding the horse, as if he was not running for his life now.

The road ahead was faintly flickering with flames, Su Qinglang suddenly grabbed the reins, the horse let out a roar, and saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing up as if surrounded by mountains and forests.

They surrounded them in the middle, and after a while, a man in blue came out and saluted him: "Master Su..."

The visitor was tall and straight, with a long sword hanging on his waist. He was obviously a martial artist. He came to the front and continued: "Young Master is worried about the safety of the adult, and I specially ordered the villain to protect him all the way. I accidentally disturbed the adult. Please forgive me."

It turned out that after Su Qinglang rejected Qin Huan's kindness that day, Young Master Qin was worried that Mr. Su would be in danger on the road, so he ordered someone to take care of him secretly.

Food and clothing are all arranged properly, even the roads to walk and the rivers to cross have to be inspected, just like the little flowers in the greenhouse, lest Mr. Su be hit by the slightest wind and rain.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Su was very careful, a steamed stuffed bun without ginger completely exposed him, in order to avoid Qin Huan, he had no choice but to change his official uniform and hurry on his way.

The people from the Qin family stopped Su Qinglang's whereabouts, and they were all scared like grandchildren, for fear that something would happen to Mr. Su on the way.

So following the son's order, he sought the assistance of local officials, searched for the whole day, and finally found Su Qinglang's trace at night.

Su Qinglang who thought he would be able to escape from Ascension to Heaven.Unexpectedly, in just one day, he was overtaken by Qin Huan's men, so he felt very upset.

Sitting on the horse, he said condescendingly: "So it's you, I thought it was those bandits who murdered people with malicious intentions."

The man in blue heard the taunting meaning in his words, and smiled helplessly. After all, even his own son would suffer in front of Master Su, let alone them?

Su Qinglang paused for a moment, and said again: "You also saw that before you came, I walked well and nothing happened. Now, can I go back?"

The man in blue restrained his expression, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I will come to protect you under the order of the young master, and please ask your lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Qinglang sneered coldly: "I am ordered by the emperor to go to the border for official business. If you want to obstruct it, you will be disobeying the emperor's order."

The man in blue said again: "My lord, don't worry, we are only protecting you and will never delay your trip. If you don't want to see us, we will stay in the dark."

The monkey's tail was caught in the clamshell, and it couldn't be shaken off. Su Qinglang frowned slightly, and after a while, said in a cold tone: "If that's the case, then kill me."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Su Qinglang to say such words, Mei Liusheng looked at him: "Brother Su, you..."

The man in blue was also terrified, and hurriedly said: "The villain dare not."

Su Qinglang smiled coldly again: "You don't listen to what I say. There are things in this world that you dare not? You go back and tell Qin Huan, window paper, brown sugar, how old is he? Don't worry about it, then Don't worry, is it only after I die that I can obey his wishes?"

The man in blue was embarrassed for a while, he kept saying he didn't dare, and then he heard Su Qinglang say: "What's the matter, when I go back, I will explain it to the young master, now, please leave."

"This……"

The man in blue was still hesitant, but he heard a voice from the group of officers and soldiers: "Master Su has been running all the way, it's hard work, and such a farce happened in the middle of the night, how about this, everyone first go to the government office to rest for a night, everything , How about we discuss it tomorrow?"

Su Qinglang followed the source of the voice, only to see a middle-aged man in official uniform standing up, saluting to him: "Your Majesty, the Yizhou government office, see Mr. Su."

Thinking of what Mei Liusheng once said, there is a river in the border of Yizhou. After crossing by boat, it can save several days of travel.

Su Qinglang was a little hesitant, and subconsciously looked at Mei Liusheng, seeing him nodding his head silently, he turned his gaze to the official and said, "In that case, there will be Lord Laofuya."

Everyone got off their horses and walked all the way in the direction of the Yizhou government office. As they walked on the road, they heard Lu Xun excitedly say, "Hey, are you really the Yizhou government office?"

The other party smiled and replied: "Yes..."

Although his official position is a few ranks higher than Lu Xun's, his words are very respectful. He has always known the relationship between Lu Xun and Pei Yan.

Then I heard Lu Xun say: "But, if I remember correctly, the government office is the third rank of the dynasty, and that Qin Huan doesn't even have any fame, how can he move you?"

Hearing this, Master Fuya nearly choked to death on his own saliva, showing embarrassment, and stammeringly said: "This, this... is related to Master Su's safety, and if there is any transfer or not, it is all up to the government." voluntary, voluntary."

Lu Xun let out a thoughtful oh, and seemed very moved. After a while, he asked suspiciously: "It's really strange, this Mr. Qin seems to care about Mr. Su very much."

This time, Lord Fuya was completely choked by his own saliva, and coughed a few times, patting his chest, as if he hadn't heard it, he hurriedly squeezed past the people in front, and waved to Su Qinglang: "Master Su, there are still some people in the lower government's mansion." Bird's Nest, I don't know if you are hungry now, but when you go back to the mansion, let someone make bird's nest porridge for you, okay?"

Lu Xun stared at him, and after a while, turned to look at Mei Liusheng: "What's wrong with him?"

Mei Liusheng frowned, patiently, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Master Lu, did you meet Mrs. Cai Jun and Cai some time ago?"

Lu Xun smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and replied: "Yes, do I want to enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice? My uncle told me to learn more from Mr. Cai, so I visited Mr. Cai some time ago, Mr. Cai He is honest and kind, I followed him and learned a lot from him.”

The corners of Mei Liusheng's lips twitched slightly, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the person in front of him, saying meaningfully, "Oh..."
