Ma Xiuying and Mu Longsheng were just about to take Dao Yan out of the mansion, Xu Wu hurriedly broke in, and said in a hurry: "Master, the big thing is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the city now." ”

"What's going on?" Ma Xiuying frowned, it is not too difficult to get out of the city with Xu Wu's relationship, if even Xu Wu can't help them leave, then they can only be trapped in the city, once the Western Wu army breaks the city and finds her in Pingjiang, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Wu said anxiously: "Yesterday, my subordinates took you into the city and alarmed the Western Wu army, and now the Western Wu army has surrounded Taohuawu, even if your subordinates can send you out of the city, you can't leave." ”

"Master, it doesn't matter if I and Master Dao Yan do, what should you do?" Mu Longsheng's face changed drastically, and he gasped, he also realized that Ma Xiuying could not openly appear in front of the Western Wu Army.

"Let me think about it." Ma Xiuying pursed her lips and sat down slowly, her mood was very heavy, she had to leave Pingjiang without alarming the Western Wu Army, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang knew that she came to Pingjiang or came for Daoyan, and she would definitely be furious......

Xu Wu said: "It's really not good, the master will still lie that he is a subordinate family member when the time comes." ”

"It's not going to work." Ma Xiuying's eyebrows were knotted, on the day the city was broken, the Xiwu Army would inevitably strictly review everyone's identity, even if Xu Wu was a shadow guard, the people around him would also have to be checked. Besides, if she doesn't show up for a long time in Su County, it will also arouse the suspicion of the guards and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mu Longsheng said: "I will lead away the Western Wu Army, and you and the master will leave first." ”

Without waiting for Ma Xiuying to speak, Xu Wu preemptively denied: "No! Now I can't even fly a fly, not to mention that the master still has Master Dao Yan with him, no! No way! ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but what can I do?" Mu Longsheng complained to Xu Wu, "You shouldn't let your master enter the city, now you can't get in or out." ”

"If you were willing to let us get Master Dao Yan away sooner, these things wouldn't have happened." Xu Wu was helpless, he didn't want to take Ma Xiuying into the city, but could he refuse Ma Xiuying's order?

"Don't quarrel with the two of you, I have a way," Ma Xiuying took out a jade pendant, "This is the jade pendant that the prince gave me when I left the mansion, if he is there in person, you can transfer the assigned officials." Xu Wu, you take this jade pendant and contact Xu Da or Chang Yuchun as soon as possible, just say that there is a patient inside the shadow guard and should be sent out of the city for treatment, and Mu Longsheng and I disguised ourselves as Brother Yao's servants and sent him out. ”

"Try it, I hope this jade pendant can be useful." Xu Wu clutched the jade pendant tightly and left in a hurry.

The sky slowly darkened, and the sound of artillery fire from time to time during the day gradually subsided, and Ma Xiuying was anxious. Mu Longsheng persuaded her to have some dinner, but she had no appetite. She knew that she was acting too recklessly, but if it happened again, she would still rush to Pingjiang desperately, because she couldn't let Daoyan stay in danger.

"You go and feed Brother Yao some porridge and add some more drugs." Ma Xiuying rubbed her forehead tiredly, and now she could only hope for that jade pendant. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are close ministers of Zhu Yuanzhang, they must know this jade pendant, the only thing she is worried about is that the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and I don't know if the people sent by Xu Wu can meet Xu Chang and the others smoothly.

I waited until midnight until Xu Wu appeared, "Master, the subordinates have not seen General Xu." ”

Ma Xiuying's heart sank, this time there was really nothing to do.

But I heard Xu Wu say again, "Fortunately, I saw General Chang, he happened to be in charge of the Taohuawu area, and his subordinates showed him the jade pendant, and he immediately recognized it as the prince's, and promised to arrange a ship to send you out." ”

"Can you finish it all at once?" Mu Longsheng gasped, and couldn't help but suspect that Xu Wu was taking revenge on his previous blame before he deliberately said half stop and half stop.

Xu Wu ignored him, returned the jade pendant to Ma Xiuying, and said: "Master, you must leave immediately, as soon as your subordinates contact General Chang's side, after you go out of the city, someone will send you to leave Pingjiang when you show the jade pendant; Second, Master Daoyan has not returned to the other hall of the Academy, Gao Qi has already reported to the official, although the officers and soldiers have not had the energy to deal with this matter now, but the subordinates are worried that sooner or later they will find out about this mansion. ”

"Let's go now." Ma Xiuying immediately asked Mu Longsheng to carry the unconscious Dao Yan, disguised as a slave who took his master to see a doctor, and quietly went out of the city with the help of Xu Wu.

At the moment of separation, Ma Xiuying said: "You may have attracted the attention of the soldiers by letting people open the city gate so frequently, and it will be troublesome to spread to Zhang Shicheng's ears, so it is better to simply go with us." ”

Xu Wu said: "The master doesn't have to worry, Zhang Shicheng only cares about drunken life and dreams now, how can he care about this." Besides, it is not only one subordinate who releases people out of the city, many rich gentry know that Pingjiang does not want to escape from the city, as long as they are given money, the officers and soldiers will secretly let them go, this phenomenon is not uncommon. ”

Ma Xiuying was still not at ease, and stuffed the jade pendant into his hand again, "You take this jade pendant, if everyone is in danger on the day of breaking the city, go to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun for help." ”

Xu Wu was grateful, "But how do you explain to the prince?" ”

"Just say that I asked someone to bring it to you, he knows that you used to be my subordinates, and it makes sense that I want to help you. And when he asks about the jade pendant in the future, I also happen to have an excuse to explain why the jade pendant appeared in Pingjiang. ”

"It's disrespectful to be a subordinate in this way."

"Remember, you must bring your brothers out completely, good days are still waiting for you." Ma Xiuying finally admonished, and resolutely boarded the boat.

With Chang Yuchun's instructions, the boat was able to leave Pingjiang smoothly. He never dreamed that the unattractive maid on the boat turned out to be Ma Xiuying.

When the sky was bright, the boat was more than ten miles away from the Pingjiang River, out of the encirclement of the Western Wu army, and it was time to part ways. Ma Xiuying looked at Dao Yan, who was still asleep, and said to Mu Longsheng: "You take him back to Suzhou and don't come out again, if he doesn't listen to persuasion, you will knock him unconscious." ”

Mu Longsheng smiled bitterly, could he do something to Dao Yan?

"Even if he wants to return to Pingjiang now, it's impossible, I'm worried about his ......," Ma Xiuying said when she suddenly coughed violently. She already had a hidden disease, and when she was blown by the river breeze, the cold air entered her body, and her condition worsened, and she couldn't hide it if she wanted to.

"Master, you ......" Mu Longsheng's face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly remembered that Xun Ying had told him before that Ma Xiuying had been in poor health since he was hit by an arrow.

"It's an old problem, just take a break." Ma Xiuying waved her hand, "Find a place for me to dock, I have to rush to Su County immediately, Xunying can't help me cover up for too long." ”

"Master, you are really not at ease with a subordinate like you, and your subordinate will send you to Su County." Mu Longsheng was very anxious, he didn't think that he would realize that Ma Xiuying was actually very sick, and the cough was heartbreaking, how could he let Ma Xiuying leave alone.

"Since you are with Brother Yao, he is your master, you have to take care of your own master first." Ma Xiuying disagreed, if Mu Longsheng escorted her to Su County, what would Dao Yan do?
