A traitor

Because of Wen Shiliang's words, Su Qinglang had a nightmare in the middle of the night, dreaming that His Royal Highness Yiwang who was burned to death by the fire was standing beside his bed complaining.

His whole body was bloody, without a piece of good flesh, seeing that he was ignoring him, he went up to pinch his neck, saying that he killed him and wanted Su Qinglang to pay for it.

Just as Su Qinglang was struggling frantically, the other party said to him with bloody mouth, "Do you think I'm dead? They haven't died yet, so how could I die?"

Su Qinglang was so pinched by him that he couldn't breathe, taking advantage of the time he rolled his eyes, he looked behind him, and cold sweat broke out all over his body immediately.

He saw that the Chang'an city where he lived was completely burned in a fire, and their emperor was taken to the tower, and someone went down with a knife and cut off his head, and the prince and princess were thrown from the tower. Going down, one was stabbed to death with a long knife. Before dying, he stared at him with pain and unwillingness in his expression.

Su Qinglang groaned, woke up from the nightmare, and looked around again, the lights in the outer room were reflected on the screen, and a faint yellow light was reflected in the inner room.

Look at my bed again, there is no His Royal Highness Yi Wang, but the quilt is a bit thick, stuffy and hot, it's just uncomfortable.

He was stunned for a moment on the bed, the sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks, he didn't know if it was the heat, or he was sweating from the nightmare just now.

Su Qinglang regained his composure, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, got up from the bed, went to the outside room and poured himself a glass of water, no matter what happened, he drank two or three cups, the coldness of the tea slowly felt in his chest After swinging away, he really calmed down, took a breath, and patted his chest again.

At the same time, he wondered if Wen Shiliang was trying to scare him on purpose. After all, with the relationship between the two of them, Wen Shiliang would not be kind enough to tell him just one person. Maybe he felt that after he left, there would be no chance to torment him again.

So before he left, he planted such a thorn, and lied to him that His Royal Highness Yi Wang was not dead, so he developed his power in this border town, so that he could not eat or sleep, so that he could avenge him for bullying him in the past?

With Wen Shiliang's wretched and dirty character, it is obvious that his guess is very possible.

So Su Qinglang told himself, relax, don't become a frightened bird and follow Wen Shiliang's advice.

It's just that he was so frightened by the nightmare, and the original drowsiness was gone. He stood up, took a robe and put it on, carried a lantern, and went out to relax.

The scenery of the border town is different from that of Chang'an. It is bare everywhere, but this bareness has the advantage of being bare. Chang'an's scenery will soon be complicated and gorgeous, elegant and restrained. Here, you can't see a bit of reserved scenery, just like the people here , simple and hearty, without so many twists and turns.

Since the border town is close to Xuanguo, which is already the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are very few people here, and there are very few businessmen coming and going, so there are not many people in the inn.

Moreover, perhaps because of the fear of wind and sand erosion, the buildings here are mostly made of stone, tall and large, and Su Qinglang walked among them, as if he was in a labyrinth without people.

He walked around a corner, facing the oncoming cold wind, couldn't help shivering, and gathered his clothes.

This place is quite hot during the day, like roasting biscuits, but at night, the temperature outside is actually so cold. Su Qinglang stopped, hesitating whether to turn back, but saw a half-person-high dirt wall in the distance, A figure was sitting with legs curled up and head raised and lowered, as if drinking.

Thinking of the nightmare just now, Su Qinglang shuddered, and then thought again, he grew up so big, and only heard that evil spirits harm people, how did he ever hear that they would drink in the middle of the night?

If the other party is really a ghost, but also an elegant and affectionate ghost, if I go up now, maybe that "brother ghost" will not only not harm him, but will even drink with him.

So Su Qinglang made up his mind and walked over there with a lantern in his hand. However, when he was still a few steps away, his idea was shattered. He was dressed in black clothes, with long hair hanging down his back, alone. You can tell who that person is by looking at the figure.

He stood with arms crossed, and half jokingly said: "Brother Mei stays up late at night and drinks wine against the moon here. Could it be that you miss some girl?"

Mei Liusheng turned around when he heard the sound, only to see a person standing under the earthen wall behind him, with snow-white messy clothes and disheveled hair, standing with arms crossed, the lantern was directly below him, even if he The pretty face, when illuminated by the lights, turned into a hideous grimace.

He was so frightened that he choked on the drink and almost fell off the dirt wall. Thinking about what the person said, it sounded like Su Qinglang, but when he calmed down, it was indeed Su Qinglang.

He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Qinglang, it's you..."

Seeing his reaction, Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't blamed Brother Mei for pretending to be a ghost here in the middle of the night to scare people, but you were frightened by me first. Are you so ugly?"

Mei Liusheng thought to himself, if he has the ability to look himself in the mirror, which one of us is more scary, but he said: "No, I just didn't expect you to come out at this time."

He stood up, reached out to catch the lantern in Su Qinglang's hand, inserted the lantern on the other side of the earthen wall, and stretched out his hand to pull Su Qinglang up. The two sat side by side, with the bright moon in the sky, because Mei Liusheng was taller than Su Qinglang at one end, so they left a long and a short shadow on the ground behind them.

I only heard Mei Liusheng say: "Didn't you just rest, why did you come here?"

Su Qinglang said: "I'm very bored in my heart, come out for a walk and relax."

Mei Liusheng smiled lowly, and said: "I'm afraid, you dreamed about that His Royal Highness Yi Wang, were you frightened by the nightmare?"

Being exposed by him, Su Qinglang argued with a guilty conscience: "I'm afraid of him? If he dares to come into my dream, I must let him know how powerful he is!"

Mei Liusheng smiled again, whether it was bitterness or teasing, he said, "Is that so..."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang looked at him and asked, "Then why is Brother Mei here?"

Mei Liusheng raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and said, "I remembered some things from the past, and went out to relax. Seeing that it's a good place to enjoy the moon, I stopped."

Su Qinglang looked at him, and after a while, leaned closer to him and smelled it, and said: "This is a bar I begged from the proprietress. The smell is really different from the ones in Chang'an City."

Mei Liusheng replied calmly: "The wine in Chang'an City is made from five grains, and the taste is relatively mild and soft. This kind of wine is made from a grape called "horse milk", which has a strong and strong taste. And it also has a sweetness like milk, which is naturally different. "

Su Qinglang snorted, and said tentatively: "Brother Mei seems to know the border town very well."

Thinking of my carelessness during the day, and now, with Su Qinglang's suspicious character, he will definitely doubt his relationship with Li Chengsi.

So Mei Liusheng pretended to be indifferent, and replied: "I used to do business here with my uncle, so I have some impressions."

He answered in this way, combined with what he said to Su Qinglang just now, thinking of some things in the past, it gives people the feeling that when he returns to his hometown, he thinks of his parents who died young, and his uncle who was kind to him, but the whole family suffered because of the plague. It can dispel Su Qinglang's doubts.

Su Qinglang really believed it, and comforted him softly: "Brother Mei has achieved what he has achieved so far. I think your family will also feel relieved, but Brother Mei, don't be too sad."

Mei Liusheng hummed, and seeing Su Qinglang's eyes drifting towards his flagon, he sighed and said, "Brother Sun has said that you won't be allowed to drink anymore."

Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the relationship between Brother Mei and Zizhong? Why do you ignore what I say, but you run faster than receiving the imperial edict?"

Mei Liusheng said helplessly: "Brother Sun and I haven't even spoken a few words, but you, don't expect me to listen to you. For your own good, I will let you drink less in the future."

Su Qinglang snorted, and said eccentrically, "Who cares? I'll go find the proprietress by myself tomorrow."

"Qinglang..." Mei Liusheng frowned, and finally looked at him and shook his head.

The surrounding area was empty, there was no sound of people, only the sound of the strong wind blowing through the field, the two were silent, Su Qinglang looked up at the bright moon, while Mei Liusheng was drinking silently at the side.

Su Qinglang was annoyed by him, looked at him and said, "Hey, if you don't let me drink, you won't be allowed to drink either!"

Mei Liusheng smiled lowly, and asked back, "Why?"

"Because..." Su Qinglang hesitated for a moment, then straightened his face again: "Do you drink like this? It's like a buffalo, it's a waste!"

Under the dim light, he pouted slightly, frowning with displeasure, but it added a bit of cuteness.

Mei Liusheng's heart twitched, and he felt something fluttering in his chest. He looked at Su Qinglang for a moment, borrowed his courage from the wine, reached out his hand calmly, grabbed his arm, leaned over and slowly approached him, With a low and ambiguous tone, he stuck to his ear and said, "Do you want to taste so much?"

Su Qinglang glanced at him sideways, facing Shangmei Liusheng's eyes with a deepening smile, not aware of the danger of his situation at all, just said stiffly: "Who..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mei Liusheng kissing him, Su Qinglang's head was dizzy, and a firework exploded in front of his eyes, he reacted and quickly pushed.

However, Mei Liusheng's body was hugged by Mei Liusheng, and he couldn't push it away even with all his breastfeeding strength. In desperation, he put his hands and feet together, twisting and turning like an octopus, and stuck the lantern next to him, because his movements thumped. It fell to the ground.

Finally feeling that his body was empty, Mei Liusheng's hand slipped, and he fell off the dirt wall. Mei Liusheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull it, but saw that Su Qinglang was sitting on the mound of dirt below, with his feet up in the air. Except for a little pain in the buttocks, I think there should be no injuries.

Su Qinglang supported his waist and stood up, still panting heavily in shock. He just wanted to turn his head and ask Mei Liusheng what he was doing, but he held it back.

After a while, he just said: "Brother Mei is drunk, go back and rest early, I'll go first."

Saying that, regardless of the lantern that fell on the ground, he ran away in the direction he came from.

Mei Liusheng was left behind, sitting on the top of the wall, watching his leaving back, shaking his head helplessly.
