A traitor

Su Qinglang asked: "Did Your Highness come out by himself?"

Li Chengyi shook his head, then looked at the street on the other side, and said, "Xibao and the others are not far away. I was afraid of showing off, so I didn't let them follow."

Su Qinglang glanced at the direction Li Chengyi was pointing at, then turned to Mei Liusheng and said, "I'll take him there first, Brother Mei, let's go back first."

Mei Liusheng then said: "The crown prince has a noble status, if it is exposed, there may be troubles. I know some martial arts, so let's go with Brother Su."

Su Qinglang thought about it too, as a weak scholar himself, if half an assassin jumped out halfway, ten lives would not be enough to lose, so he nodded acquiescingly.

He turned and left without even looking at the prince. Li Chengyi knew he had made a mistake, and followed Su Qinglang with his head drooping like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The three of them walked one behind the other, with one walking in the middle.After a while, they came to the place, and saw a carriage parked in the dark in the alley at the corner of the street. Eunuch Xibao looked anxious, and there were several guards around him.

Seeing Li Chengyi coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Oh, Your Highness, you are back..."

Just as he was talking, seeing Su Qinglang beside Li Chengyi, he was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Su...Master Su, why are you here?"

Su Qinglang bent the corners of his lips, and said in a strange way: "I thought Mr. Xibao was so bold that he was blindfolded by lard, so he couldn't see me."

Xi Bao hurriedly made amends and said, "Master Su, forgive me. This servant was worried about His Highness's safety. I was in a hurry just now and ignored Mr. Su."

As soon as the words were finished, Su Qinglang snorted: "Let's leave it in the palace and take His Highness outside, the father-in-law's word "worried" is really easy to say. "

Xibao shrank back in fright, and repeatedly apologized to Su Qinglang. Li Chengyi stood by, looked at Xibao, then at Su Qinglang, hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.

But Mei Liusheng answered at this moment: "It's getting late, His Highness should be tired too, Eunuch should take His Highness back quickly, if it's late, His Majesty should be worried."

Only then did Xibao lead Li Chengyi into the carriage, and before leaving, seeing Su Qinglang's face smelling like a toilet, Li Chengyi was very guilty, but he didn't dare to speak to him.

He could only say to Mei Liusheng: "My lord, Shao Fu's side...you should take care of it."

Mei Liusheng hummed, and watched Li Chengyi put down the curtain of the car, and walked towards the palace.

Only then did he look at Su Qinglang and said: "Brother Su, Your Highness is still young and needs to be taught patiently. Don't you get so angry because of this?"

Su Qinglang snorted again, raised his eyebrows and said: "The mud can't support the wall, I seem to be very idle, why should I care about him?"

Although he said he didn't care, he cared very much in his heart. Even Mei Liusheng could tell that he was in a bad mood, and was completely heartbroken by Li Chengyi's actions.

Because of sending Li Chengyi off, the two detoured some more. Walking on the street, they saw a promenade built on the bank of a river, and a piece of wine felt cloth was protruding from the corner of the promenade.

Su Qinglang stopped in his tracks, and said, "Brother Mei, are you in a hurry to return home?"

Mei Liusheng shook his head, and heard him say again: "Since that's the case, I wonder if Brother Mei would like to have a drink with me?"

Knowing that Su Qinglang was in a bad mood, Mei Liusheng could only agree, and the two walked to the corridor and found a convenient place to sit down.

There are very few customers around, only two or three sparsely. Since the closing time is about to close, the attitude of the boss is also quite tired. He served two or three jugs of wine without even saying hello.

As soon as the wine was served, Su Qinglang took a jug in his hand, pulled out the cork, and drank half of the jug with a gulp.

Mei Liusheng sat silently by the side, seeing him enjoying himself.With a snap, he put the wine jug on the table and shouted: "Boss, bring some more spirits, more spirits!"

The guests around were attracted by his movements, turned their heads to look at him, and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on with this man.

The boss thought that he was dissatisfied with his wine and was causing trouble on purpose, so he put a rag on his shoulder and walked over.

Standing beside their table, he said: "Guest officer, I do have spirits here, but the spirits hurt my body, I'm afraid the guest officer can't bear it."

Su Qinglang raised her eyes and said, "I only know that wine is made for people to drink. Since you can make it, why can't I drink it?"

Mei Liusheng had no choice but to take out two ingots of silver, and said to the boss: "Please trouble your excellency, and bring me two jugs of spirits."

Although he was reluctant, he couldn't make things difficult for Yin Zi. The boss took Yin Zi and turned to leave.

After a while, he picked up two jars of spirits. The fine wine was so rich and mellow that one could smell the pungent wine through the jars.

Mei Liusheng frowned, seeing Su Qinglang reaching for it, he quickly stopped him: "Brother Su, if you drink like this, you will get drunk."

Su Qinglang's hand only paused for a moment, then he held the wine jar in his hand, and said: "The reason why people are tired and painful in this world is because people are always sober. Look at the childish children on the street, ignorant Fool, I never know what sorrow is, so I say, it’s better to be drunk, it’s better to be drunk, it’s better to be drunk and not wake up.”

As he spoke, he raised his head and took a few sips, the strong wine entered his throat, it was extremely pungent, even Su Qinglang couldn't help coughing a few times.

Seeing this, Mei Liusheng said softly: "Brother Su once said that if there is any injustice, he will definitely complain to me. Brother Su feels sad, and Liu Sheng is willing to share a little for Brother Su."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang looked up at Mei Liusheng, and then turned his gaze to a building not far away.

Facing the south and facing the north, it is built by the water. It is an elegant building in Suzhou. The red-painted wooden pillars are tied with light blue gauze curtains. A wine table is placed in the middle. Whenever the evening sun falls inside, the artistic conception is far away. Unspeakably simple and exquisite.

A boy in black clothes stood in the middle, chatting and laughing with the other two, the smile on his face was bright and brilliant under the setting sun.

And the other one, dressed in a robe as white as snow, holding a folding fan in his hand, with his legs crossed, sat under the railing of the restaurant, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

At that time, he asked Xie Yu why he had to take the Wen test even though he came from a family of generals.

Xie Yu thought for a while, and Wen Ya replied: "I don't want to just be a military commander, fighting and killing all day long. If possible, I would rather assist the emperor in governing the country and the world without a single soldier."

That person's temperament has always been so gentle. As a general, he doesn't want to use force to solve the problem, and he doesn't want to see bloody casualties. His heart is so soft, he is not at all like General Xie Yuan.

There was a time when I went to the border with General Xie and saw an enemy soldier on the battlefield holding a baby's bellyband in his hand when he died.

Xie Yu once said that those who fight on the battlefield, regardless of their standpoints, have family and friends, and when anyone dies, someone will be sad.

If one day, the world is peaceful, there is no need to fight the dead, and even if you want him to go home, he can be unemployed and farm.

Regarding such thoughts, he used to always feel that Xie Yu's thoughts were too naive.

He was not like Xie Yu, who had followed the emperor since he was a child, and was used to his thunderous methods, and he was also used to seeing bloody winds.

In his opinion, in this world, there will be conflicts between people, and there will be wars if there are conflicts. It is not up to whoever wants to, whether they want to or not.

In the gears of history, how many lives are filled in it, flash in the pan, fleeting, and the road paved with bones, but there is no trace of them in the history books.

Everyone's fate is different, and this is a helpless matter. Even if they have great abilities, it is impossible to take care of so many people.

However, it was such innocence that turned him into a fool, he would rather dream with Xie Yu than wake him up from the dream.

Later, when the backer king rebelled against him, Xie Yu really couldn't bear to kill him, let alone see the mountains and rivers crumbled, and the people in ruins.Therefore, I would rather die than stop that war.

Later, Xie Yu really died, and it was from then on that he truly realized that the death of a person turned out to be so heartbreaking...

Therefore, those memories and pasts scattered in the streets and alleys of Chang'an were picked up bit by bit by him, sticking to the "sweet dream" of that person, continuing to go crazy and continue to be self-willed.

Xie Yu said, Qinglang, the parents who gave birth to me, and the common people who raised me, in this world, they should do something meaningful and not just care about themselves.

Xie Yu said, Qinglang, give me five years, as long as it takes five years, I will definitely be able to assist the emperor to eradicate the evils, restore the country's strength, resolve internal problems, and foreign enemies will never dare to invade again.

Xie Yu said, Qinglang, give me five years, and I will resign from the court in just five years. When we leave Chang'an, I will accompany you to see all the great rivers and mountains in the world.

Xie Yu said, Qinglang, a real man, walks in the world, stands in the heart, I never regret it, I only regret that I have hurt my family and made Xie's family bear the crime of treason.

Xie Yu said, Qinglang, kill me, and from now on, live well and well...

These words buried in the past are like the poison left in his heart, eroding his heart little by little, how can he mention half of it to others?

The ancients said, there is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife when she died. Now it is like a cover, and the years are fleeting, but the old scenery and old feelings still exist, and everything suddenly seems like a dream.

The Yangtze River is rolling, the water is flowing eastward, and the years are ruthless, but it seems that he is the only one who missed him, making him keep moving forward, but also living in the past from beginning to end.

Su Qinglang smiled wryly, and said with a half sigh: "The most tormenting thing in life is sticking to a dream that will never be possible, falling asleep and refusing to wake up, deceiving myself, day by day, year after year, what the hell is going on?" When is the head?

What to say gives me faith, gives me hope.In the end, it was nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket.That is the case.At the beginning, why did you give me hope, but now it makes me despair..."
