Ma Xiuying packed up and called Zhu Biao to tell him about his leaving the house, and at the same time warned him to take care of his younger brothers and listen carefully to the teachings of Zhu Yuanzhang and his teacher.

Zhu Biao was very uneasy and asked to accompany her to Suxian to worship her grandfather and grandmother.

Ma Xiuying shook her head, "You have already been there once, grandfather, they know your filial piety and will not blame you." I promised you that I would tell you wherever you went, but I don't want you to venture out again. You are the son of the world, and your status is noble, which may cause harm to some well-intentioned people. I'm different from you, I'm just a concubine, insignificant in their eyes, and besides, I plan to leave the house quietly without alarming anyone, and the more people I bring, the easier it is to expose my whereabouts. ”

Zhu Biao said worriedly: "But your body ......"

"It's because I'm worried about my father's and mother's affairs that I'm depressed, and I can get better when I go out. Ma Xiuying did not shy away in front of her son, and said with a faint smile: "Although the palace is good, it is like a delicate cage, and I finally have a chance to get out, don't stop me." ”

Zhu Biao was silent, only those who have been out of the mansion know how vast the outside world is, how vast the world is, and people like him who like to be quiet can't help but be agitated when they gallop on horseback, and they can't help but linger, not to mention Ma Xiuying, who has always been active, she must have long been eager to leave the palace and go out to breathe.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao no longer blocked Ma Xiuying's decision, and told her to be careful on the road, go early and return early, he will take care of his younger brothers, and there will be no more situation where Guo Hui spread the news in the house last time.

Ma Xiuying's eyebrows were raised, "She dares! This time your father agreed, if she dares to talk nonsense behind my back and move my people, I will never spare her!"

Bai Ling's maids hurriedly knelt down gratefully, "Don't worry, the princess, the slaves and maids will take care of the house and don't let anyone break in." ”

So Ma Xiuying pretended to be recuperating and quietly left the palace with Zhu Yuanzhang's tacit cooperation.

As soon as she got out of Ying Tianfu, she wanted to turn around and rush to Pingjiang, but Xun Ying didn't agree, "My master, we don't know anything about what the situation in Pingjiang is now, and if you want to go, you have to arrange the route and the person who responds first." Besides, the prince must have made arrangements for you to go to Suxian in private, otherwise he wouldn't let you leave at will like this, if you didn't show up in Suxian on time, the prince must not suspect it?"

Before leaving, Ma Xiuying told Xunying her plans, although she left the house under the pretext of returning to Suxian County to worship her father, but she really hasn't been back for many years, and she wants to pay a good tribute to her father and mother this time to deal with Daoyan's affairs.

Ma Xiuying sighed, "I haven't thought about it clearly yet." ”

"Master, this is a matter of concern. Xun Ying forced a smile, in fact, she was also very worried about the situation of Dao Yan and Mu Longsheng, but nothing was as important as Ma Xiuying, she had to consider Ma Xiuying's situation first, and then think about anything else.

Ma Xiuying was anxious, but she had to agree to Xunying's method, and while hurrying to Suxian, she asked Xunying to contact the shadow guard on the Pingjiang side without alarming Zhu Yuanzhang and arrange her route in the past.

Liu Dashan and Ma's well-dressed mound are built on a half-hillside, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, and the most important thing is quiet and peaceful.

This brought great convenience to Ma Xiuying, she worshiped her father and mother, repaired the tomb, and said to the guards sent by Zhu Yuanzhang that she would live here and wait for a while to respond to Tianfu.

The guards did not dare to let her live in a grass hut, and it took a day to build a sturdy wooden house.

Ma Xiuying also said that they had a murderous aura that would scare the ghosts, and ordered them all to retreat to the foot of the mountain and wait, just send some food up regularly every week, she has Xunying to take care of here, and she doesn't need outsiders around.

The guards did as she said, but they didn't know that she quietly left along the vines in the back mountain on the second night of staying in the wooden house, leaving Xunying pretending to be on the mountain to confuse everyone's attention.

Ma Xiuying disguised herself all the way and successfully arrived in Pingjiang with the help of the shadow guard, at this time Pingjiang was besieged, and outsiders could not enter the city at all.

Fortunately, there are five. As Zhang Shicheng's confidant, Xu Wu has many special rights, he lied that his relatives came from his hometown to share life and death with him, and the Dongwu soldiers who did not know the truth appreciated the righteousness of his relatives, and specially sent a ship from Taohuawu to take Ma Xiuying into the city.

Chang Yuchun heard that an enemy ship had sailed out of the Peach Blossom Dock, and after rushing away, the enemy's ship retracted back into the city, and he only regarded it as an enemy ship that wanted to escape, and warned the soldiers to surround the whole city to the death, and not let go of a person.

Except for Xu Wu, no one knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma Xiuying had mixed into Pingjiang City at the moment.

"Master, you are still here in such danger. Xu Wu looked nervous, although the person he is loyal to now should be Zhu Yuanzhang, but he is still used to calling Ma Xiuying the master.

Ma Xiuying looked at this former right-hand man, "Once Pingjiang breaks through the Western Wu army, the city may be slaughtered, so this time everyone withdraws together and doesn't stay in this dangerous place." ”

Xu Wu was puzzled: "The prince did not issue such an edict......"

Ma Xiuying insisted: "The prince didn't say that you were not allowed to evacuate. It's the Shadow Guard's rules, what's wrong with you playing by the rules?"

When the film guards were first established, Ma Xiuying said that all the shadow guards should not fight for their lives unless they had to, and allowed them to choose to give up the task in dangerous situations and save their lives. What's more, the tasks here have almost been completed, why can't they be evacuated? There are thousands of troops in the Western Wu Army, not every soldier knows about the existence of the shadow guard, if he accidentally injures his own people on the day of breaking the city, who can he talk to?

Xu Wu was moved, although they served Zhu Yuanzhang, they were still willing to obey Ma Xiuying's orders because Ma Xiuying never treated them as outsiders or tools, and always cared about their safety.

After learning about the current situation of the shadow guard, Ma Xiuying began to ask about the situation on Yan's side.

Xu Wudao: "His subordinates have repeatedly sent people to ask Master Daoyan to leave Pingjiang, but he has insisted on refusing, and if he continues to delay like this, he will not be able to leave when he wants to." ”

"Where is he now?"

"He lives in the Bunin Annex, and the Wood Leader takes care of him by his side. ”

"You're not going to knock him out?"

"You know that Leader Mu, he doesn't allow it, who dares to do it? The subordinates can't make too much noise to alarm others. ”

"This one-on-one guy, doesn't he know that this is not protecting Dao Yan and harming Dao Yan? Ma Xiuying complained twice, and ordered: "Inform Mu Longsheng, I am in Pingjiang, and I will find a chance to meet Dao Yan as soon as possible." ”

"The subordinates will arrange it. Xu Wu bowed his hand and retreated.
