A traitor

Su Qinglang didn't sleep well all night because of Mei Liusheng's sudden madness at him.

On the second day, I got up early and sat in the main hall of the inn, facing a camel on the corner in a daze.

Seeing that he was so hardworking, Sun Tzuzhong really didn't fit Mr. Su's personality, and then looked at Su Qinglang's defeated appearance of returning from a cockfight, and thought something had happened.

Sitting across from him, he asked, "Qinglang, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Su Qinglang was thinking about what happened last night, when he suddenly heard his question, he let out an ah, came back to his senses, and said falteringly: "No...no..."

After a pause, his expression eased again, and he explained: "Maybe it's because I'm not used to it when I first came here. The hard bed is like a rock when I sleep on it, so it's not very comfortable."

Sun Zizhong showed a teasing expression: "It's really the sun coming out from the west, Qinglang, you have always been the most gregarious, and it's rare that you are not used to it."

Su Qinglang choked for a moment, and was about to refute, when he looked up and saw Mei Liusheng walking towards him, his mood was extremely complicated, he got up and left immediately before even finishing his meal.

Seeing that he was leaving, Sun Tzuzhong was about to stop him when Mei Liusheng also came up to him, so he looked at Mei Liusheng in doubt and asked, "What happened to Qinglang today?"

Thinking of the stupid things he did to Su Qinglang yesterday, Mei Liusheng was also very annoyed. He glanced at Su Qinglang's back and said calmly, "Maybe...you're not used to it when you first came here..."

He sat down opposite Sun Zizhong, and there was half a bowl of porridge in front of him. He just took a bite when he suddenly remembered that this was what Su Qinglang had already eaten, paused his hands, and slowed down.

Just listen to Sun Zizhong said: "Shall we go to the post house later?"

Mei Liusheng nodded, and heard him say: "I don't know where the county magistrate is, but they were ready."

Mei Liusheng smiled indifferently, and said: "Brother Su has already written to inform him before leaving the imperial city, if he is not ready by now, unless his life is not wanted."

Everyone in the court knows that Su Qinglang is not easy to deal with, not only has a small stomach, but also holds grudges.

Therefore, after receiving Master Su's letter, the county magistrate was quicker than receiving the emperor's imperial decree, and hurriedly ordered people to get busy.

When the post house caught fire, more than a dozen envoys of the Xuan Kingdom and the escorting generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty died at once. It was His Royal Highness Yi Wang. The county magistrate at that time was afraid of being held accountable by the court, so he was randomly identified, and a coffin could be buried in the ground.

After all, everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness Yi Wang is a thorn in the emperor's side, a thorn in his flesh, alive to the emperor's heart, and death is in line with many people's wishes.

So in those days, except for some diehards who read their brains stupidly, they wrote to persuade the emperor, and dealt with the funeral of King Yi so hastily because of the inappropriate etiquette, everyone else quickly forgot that there was King Yi, and even these In the past few years, that poor and deplorable King Yi didn't even have a burner in front of the tombstone.

This time when Wen Shiliang came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, those people thought of King Yi again, and for some reason, they insisted on making trouble for the emperor to welcome back King Yi's body, and held a funeral ceremony for King Yi again according to the etiquette of the royal prince. .

That's why Su Qinglang came all the way to the border town. Not only that, but according to the regulations, a seven-day soul-calling ceremony was held here.

Outside the ruins of the post house, Mei Liusheng knelt under the altar, looking at his spiritual tablet above, with mixed feelings in his heart, cursing inwardly that it was Pei Yan's bad idea.

What are you talking about, if you don't let the people in the world recognize his identity, and let the people remember the harsh treatment of him by the emperor, you may encounter a lot of troubles in the future. In his opinion, the most troublesome people are scholars. Turning around, what kind of festival is there, he is here now, summoning the soul?Whose soul do you want to recruit?

Several Taoist priests picked out the "Great God" on it for a long time, and finally took out a set of clothes that were said to be His Royal Highness Yiwang, and put them in the coffin respectfully. Asked: "Eh? Didn't we let us welcome the bones of King Yi to go back? Why did we get here, but changed into King Yi's clothes?"

Su Qinglang looked at the people around him and saw that no one noticed them, so he lowered his voice and said, "It is a taboo to move graves and dig soil, it is disrespectful to the dead, and His Royal Highness King Yi was killed at a young age. Burned to death in the fire.

It is said that such a ghost who died unjustly and tragically was very fierce. The emperor was afraid that if he really took his body back, it would be bad for the people in the imperial city.

So I came up with such a method, only summoning the soul, not moving the soil, and when the time comes, get a clothes and go back to erect a monument, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of those ministers. "

Although Sun Zizhong is well-versed in poetry and books, he only has a general understanding of this aspect, unlike Su Qinglang who has a specialization in art.

Hearing this, he nodded and said: "If that's the case, it will be easier when we go back."

Su Qinglang thought to himself, he wouldn't do it if it was a corpse, not to mention the long journey, I'm afraid sleeping at night will be a nightmare.

After finishing the ceremony, Su Qinglang went to explain a few words to the county magistrate, while Sun Zizhong and Mei Liusheng waited at the gate of the post house.

Seeing Su Qinglang and the magistrate coming out one after the other, Mei Liusheng bowed to him first: "Master Su..."

Su Qinglang couldn't understand, how could there be such a thick-skinned person as Mei Liusheng in this world, who obviously did something like that to him last night, but today he acted like a normal person.

If it was someone else, I'm afraid he had already packed up his things and prepared to run away yesterday, and he would have killed him. From now on, he would hide his name and never appear in front of him again.

So, where did this Mei Liusheng have the guts to still dare to greet him as if nothing had happened!

However, no matter how angry you are, you can't show it. Although Master Su looks like a girl, he is not a girl after all. After chasing the big knife, Mei Liusheng ran all over the street, asking him to apologise with death.

As a man, being kissed by another man is different from being forced to sleep by a man?

If you say it, you can kill eight generations of ancestors.So, what happened last night, Su Qinglang could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, determined not to allow anyone to know half of it.

He didn't seem to have seen Mei Liusheng, and only said to Sun Zizhong: "Zi Zhong, I have something to do with Master Qi, I have to go to the county government office, you go back first."

Looking at the magistrate Mr. Qi, who was flattering and vulgar to Su Qinglang, Sun Zizhong knew what was going on without thinking, so he sighed and said, "Come back early, if you do something out of the ordinary, be careful that I will go back and tell you what happened." Second Niang complained."

Su Qinglang clasped his palms together, making a beseeching expression.After that, without even looking at Mei Liusheng, he turned around and followed Lord Qi.

Mei Liusheng looked at the back of him leaving, feeling a little worried: "Brother Sun, Brother Su is alone, are you okay?"

Sun Zizhong shook his head and said: "Don't look at Qinglang like that, but in fact he is the most measured. If we go, we will hold him back."

Thinking of the last time in Yizhou, when Su Qinglang desperately blocked the drink for them, Mei Liusheng didn't say anything, and heard Sun Zizhong say: "It's you, how did you offend Qinglang? Why is his attitude towards you so unreasonable?" One place, completely changed appearance?"

Mei Liusheng's words faltered, and then he smiled calmly: "Maybe when I was admiring the moon last night, I accidentally said something that made Brother Su unhappy."

Sun Tzuzhong sighed: "Qinglang's temperament is just like that, please brother Mei be more considerate and let him calm down for a few days."

Mei Liusheng thought to himself, with Su Qinglang's temperament, it would be considered good if he didn't kill him last night, how many more days of calm down?I'm afraid that Su Qinglang will never talk to him again in this life.

When a beauty gets angry, she wants to coax her. Even though Mei Liusheng has never offended a woman or a man other than Su Qinglang, he knows the reason behind it.

After returning to the inn, he wandered back and forth a few times, hoping to do something for Su Qinglang, finally came to the kitchen, just stood still in the room, but saw the proprietress sneak in, knelt at his feet and said : "His Royal Highness is here. The slave family took into account His Highness's status and failed to meet in time. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Seeing that the person who came was his own, Mei Liusheng stood up straight and said calmly: "It's okay, I didn't want to disturb you when I came here this time, I'm just my king's friend, I want to stay in the inn in the city, thinking about their safety, I decided to come here, you just treat me as an ordinary guest."

The proprietress replied yes, and then said: "The slave family has informed the other brothers to keep quiet in the near future and not to make noise in the city. Moreover, in order to protect His Highness and His friends, they specially arranged people to protect them nearby. Your Highness can rest assured .”

Mei Liusheng sighed when he heard that, "Get those people away."

Seeing the bewildered expression of the proprietress, he said again: "Among us, there is one person who is very shrewd, and even the slightest sign of trouble may show his feet in front of him. Besides, this place is already very safe. It’s not that you can’t even protect yourself and the two of you.”

The proprietress nodded, and heard him say again: "Is there anything else?"

The proprietress lowered her head slightly, and presented the letterhead hidden in her sleeve, and said, "There is news from the imperial city that what His Highness ordered earlier has already progressed."

Mei Liusheng was startled, hesitated for a moment, took the letter paper in his hand and unfolded it, only to see a few lines of small characters densely written on it, for fear of being intercepted by someone who cared, the letter was not signed, and the content was also very obscure, except for people who knew the inside story , no one could see what they were writing.

After reading the letter, Mei Liusheng fell into silence, and said after a long time: "Send a letter to Pei Yan, telling him that Miss Meng's side is going on as usual, but the matter that this king ordered him is put on hold for now, and everything will be discussed after this king returns."

Hearing his words, the lady boss hesitated: "This..."

After a pause, meeting Mei Liusheng's gaze, he quickly lowered his head again: "Yes..."
