Chapter 133: The Parrot Starlings Are a Couple
cleaned up the burns on her chest, Ma Xiuying changed her clothes and went to see Guo Zixing again with the mood of giving it a try, but as expected, she was still closed, and Guo Zixing did not give her a chance to intercede at all. Ma Xiuying, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, became more and more cold, and the father-daughter love for Guo Zixing was gone.
At midnight, Ma Xiuying's courtyard was silent, but the moon in the sky could see Ma Xiuying and Xunying quietly going out at night. Although Guo Tianxu ordered that no one should be allowed to visit Zhu Yuanzhang, it was difficult for Ma Xiuying. When there was a night cat barking outside the courtyard, Ma Xiuying knew that the shadow guard had succeeded. They will temporarily put the soldiers in charge of guarding the dungeon into a coma to facilitate Ma Xiuying's actions, even if Guo Tianxu finds out that something is wrong the next day, but by then Ma Xiuying has already achieved his goal, and he has no evidence to confirm that Ma Xiuying did it.
Ma Xiuying was holding a food box in her hand, which was a reheated green onion cake, her scalded chest could no longer carry anything, this food was for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was not appropriate to take it out of Xunying's arms, so after thinking about it, she finally put it in a box.
Originally, Ma Xiuying planned to visit the prison alone, but Xunying was not at ease and had to accompany her. During the day, Xun Ying had already inquired about the location of the prison, and the two of them did not carry lanterns, and under the reflection of the moonlight, they escaped the patrolling guards and successfully came to the dungeon.
Several soldiers leaned against the wall, their heads hanging down to their chests, and at first glance they looked like they were asleep, but Ma Xiuying and Xun Ying knew that these people were all arranged to sleep after being knocked unconscious.
The predecessor of the Marshal's Mansion was the Taishou Mansion, and Cheri had built a private prison in the mansion, and I don't know how many prisoners had been imprisoned before, and the whole dungeon was filled with a sour smell of decay. Because there is only one prisoner and one jailer guarding Zhu Yuanzhang at present, the empty cell looks particularly gloomy, only a dim oil lamp emits a faint light.
The jailer was lying on the table and snoring, and Sunshadow stepped forward several times before pushing him awake, so as not to alarm the others with his sound, Sunying quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
The jailer's eyes widened, and a "ho-ho" sound came out of his throat. He saw clearly that it was Ma Xiuying, his confused expression gradually turned into anger and horror, he couldn't figure out how Ma Xiuying sneaked into the dungeon, could it be that the soldiers outside were killed by Ma Xiuying, and Ma Xiuying wanted to rob the prison? Thinking of this possibility, the jailer's legs went limp, and he couldn't hold back his urine.
"If you are obedient, I will let people let you go." Ma Xiuying said slowly, her tone changed suddenly, and she squinted coldly, "If you dare to be dishonest, I will kill you first!" ”
The jailer nodded hurriedly, saving his life first.
Sunshadow let go of the jailer, but her eyes were still vigilant.
Ma Xiuying asked in a low voice, "My husband is locked up here?" Take me there. ”
"Yes, yes." The jailer cried with a sad face, "Grandma, you can't take Zhenfu away, if the eldest prince finds that Zhenfu is gone, the villain's life will be gone." ”
"Don't worry, I'm just here to visit my husband, I won't take him away, and I won't delay him for too long, please be accommodating." Ma Xiuying said and handed over a piece of silver, "If you don't make a noise, I promise that what happened tonight will not let Guo Tianxu know." ”
"But what about the guards outside, such a big movement can't be hidden."
"It's up to you, as long as the prisoners aren't lost, I'm sure you have a way to shut them up."
The jailer snorted, "They're not dead?" ”
Xun Ying said angrily, "They just fell asleep." My wife is here to visit my aunt, not to kill people. Of course, if you rub it any longer, I can't guarantee it. ”
The jailer looked at Ma Xiuying, whose face was sinking like water, and then looked at Xun Ying, who looked unkind, hesitated for a while, and finally took the silver ingot. Weighing the two cents of silver in his hand, he showed a greedy smile, and silently led the two to the door of the cell where Zhu Yuanzhang was being held. Just like Ma Xiuying said, he is only responsible for guarding the prisoners, as long as the prisoners don't escape, it's none of his business, presumably those guards outside will think like this when they wake up, and the fool will have nothing to do and confess his dereliction of duty.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against the corner and shrunk into a ball, this time he really became a pig's head, his nose and face were so swollen that even his mother couldn't recognize it, if it weren't for the familiarity of those tricks and fat ears, Ma Xiuying almost suspected that the jailer had found a prisoner to perfunctory her.
"Starling (uncle) ......," Ma Xiuying and Xun Ying called softly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was dreaming, dreaming that his mother baked corn cakes for him, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of green onion cakes, before he woke up, the pig's nose arched first, and habitually shouted: "Mother, I'm hungry ......" Unexpectedly, the injured nose hit the fence, and the eyes opened in pain, and saw Ma Xiuying and Xunying standing outside the prison, and the dream woke up completely, and shouted aggrievedly: "Lady, I didn't betray my father-in-law." ”
"I'm hungry, eat something." Ma Xiuying hurriedly stuffed the green onion cake into it, and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's outstretched hands were scarred and covered with bruises, she felt very uncomfortable, took out a white silk handkerchief to help him wipe his hands, and comforted: "I know you were framed by Guo Tianxu, don't worry, I will find a way to save you out." She couldn't bear to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth, it was not only Guo Tianxu who caused him to be imprisoned, but also Guo Zixing's encouragement.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate with relish, digested the green onion cake in a moment, and licked his fingers after eating, "The lady is so good, it's just too little." When he saw Ma Xiuying coming to visit, he thought that he had Guo Zixing's consent, since he was able to visit, he must not have a big problem, and he could go out in two days, so he was very relaxed.
Xun Ying couldn't help but say: "Uncle, for these cakes, Madame's chest is burned. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, "Ah, why?" ”
Ma Xiuying didn't have time to stop it, and Xunying poured water in the bamboo basket and told Ma Xiuying about being embarrassed by Da Zhang and Guo Tianxu in taking food in the afternoon.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of shock, he suddenly turned over and knelt down, and choked up: "Lady, please accept the worship of your husband!" If Zhu Yuanzhang married Ma Xiuying before, he succumbed to Ma Xiuying's "obscenity", but at this moment he really loved this woman from the bottom of his heart. Who else in this world could be as good to him as his mother? No, this woman is better than his mother is to him. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
"I have to go, you can stay in prison for a few days, I will definitely get you out!" Ma Xiuying felt Zhu Yuanzhang's true feelings, and suddenly felt a feeling of watching the sunrise, and even her chest didn't seem to hurt so much.
"Xiuying, be careful." Zhu Yuanzhang twisted and pinched, and said the first love words in his life, "You have to remember that I am your starling, you are my parrot, and we are born to be a couple!" ”
"I still have two butterflies." Ma Xiuying paused for a moment, suddenly cracked her mouth, laughed happily, and joy poured into her heart, as sweet as eating honey. It turns out that people who never talk about love are so lethal when they say sweet words.
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head in wonder, what does the parrot starling have to do with butterflies?
Ma Xiuying comforted Zhu Yuanzhang for a few words before reluctantly leaving, she found the jailer, handed over another ingot of silver, and said with grace: "I don't care what Guo Tianxu asks you to do to my husband, I just hope that you can take care of him a little during this time." Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. My husband has never betrayed the generalissimo, and sooner or later he will be released, you are a smart man, you must know what to do. ”
The jailer nodded, "The villain understands, the villain understands." "The days he spent in the Shuai Mansion were not short, and he knew that Guo Tianxu couldn't afford to mess with him, and Ma Xiuying couldn't afford to mess with him either, so the best way was to do one thing in front of Guo Tianxu and another set in front of Ma Xiuying.
Xun Ying was not at ease and threatened: "If I know that you are bullying my uncle, I will not be able to spare you." ”
The jailer smiled bitterly and promised, why the people around Ma Xiuying were more fierce than the other.
Out of the dungeon, the fresh air came to the face, the sky washed by the rain was exceptionally clear, the dazzling stars slowly flowed in the bright Milky Way, and the bright moonlight shrouded the earth like a layer of silver veil.
The two returned to the courtyard along the way they came, and the surroundings were quiet, and it was estimated that Li Qi'er had already rested. Xun Ying pouted at Li Qi'er's room and persuaded Ma Xiuying to go back to the house to rest.
Ma Xiuying shook her head, "Starling is still in prison, how can I sleep?" I'm going to write something. ”
Sunying had no choice but to light a candle and spread out her pen and ink.
The room was like a bean, Ma Xiuying was lying on the desk and writing hard, her long eyelashes casting a blurred shadow through her eyelids, covering the persistence and firmness in her eyes.
Time passed little by little, Xun Ying fell asleep unconsciously on the couch, and after an hour, she suddenly woke up, saw that Ma Xiuying was still writing, and persuaded distressedly: "Madam, the sky is almost dawn, you can rest for a while." ”
Ma Xiuying wrinkled her nose and yawned, without raising her head, she continued to write for a while, and then examined it carefully, and felt satisfied Fang Blow dried the ink, and said to Xunying who looked worried: "Give this piece of paper to the shadow guards, and let them copy a hundred copies overnight and pass them to the various military camps." By the way, Yuan Xing was asked to inform Brother Tang and ask him to cooperate with the momentum, so as to arouse the indignation of the soldiers. Let some shadow guards pretend to be storytellers to spread the news of Starling's arrest to the people, and I hope to see the effect tomorrow. ”
Xun Ying took the order to withdraw, Ma Xiuying rubbed her tired eyes, and her face was expressionless. Father-in-law, father-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang is dedicated to your life, and it is really chilling that you treat him like this! From now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, don't want me and Zhu Yuanzhang to follow you again and work hard for you!
Boom, thunder suddenly sounded, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with black clouds, the bright stars and the moon disappeared without a trace, and the day that was destined to be unquiet began again.
