In the evening, Yuan Xing entered the palace to visit Ma Xiuying after obtaining Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, after all, Yuan Xing was Ma Xiuying's brother-in-law, and when he learned that Ma Xiuying was seriously ill, he begged Zhu Yuanzhang to allow him to see Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Ma Xiuying might be in a better mood when she saw Yuan Xing, so she agreed to his request, but arranged for a prison attendant to accompany him.

Yuan Xing visited Ma Xiuying in the courtesy of the foreign ministers, there were prison attendants, he was inconvenient to say more, just greeted Ma Xiuying's illness, and told Ma Xiuying to take care of himself and retire, but when he left, he secretly stuffed a piece of silk cloth in the hand of Xun Ying, who saw him off.

Xun Ying quietly hid the cloth strips, sent Yuan Xing out of Kunning Palace, and immediately went back to the house to tell Ma Xiuying.

The two of them opened the silk cloth and saw that it was a blood book written by Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan wrote on it that he regretted that he didn't listen to Ma Xiuying's persuasion and was too ostentatious, and he asked Ma Xiuying to help his family leave the Central Plains in his past love, and he would rather go to Nanyang and never come back.

Xun Ying exclaimed: "Even if the master is willing to help him, how can he go to sea smoothly with his family?"

"Shen Wansan has been running Wanxiu Shadow Guard Group for many years, and there must be a group of loyal Shadow Guards in his hands. Ma Xiuying guessed that Shen Wansan secretly had hidden power, after all, he had been in Suzhou for many years, and he would definitely cultivate his own henchmen.

"Then why didn't he run away in the first place. Xunying thought it was incredible, if she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was beating her family's idea, she would have gone to sea a long time ago, how could she allow Zhu Yuanzhang to take the family and exile.

"A businessman is like this, he attaches too much importance to interests, his career is in the Central Plains, let him suddenly give up all this, he must be reluctant. This time, I was forced to have no choice, so I had no choice but to make this decision. Ma Xiuying sighed, she didn't regret that Shen Wansan was deceived by interests, but regretted that Zhu Yuanzhang forced away another businessman, and he was also the most famous businessman in the country. Many merchants fled to Nanyang under Zhu Yuanzhang's harsh government, and the wealth that these people took with them and the wealth they might create later was an immeasurable loss to the Ming Dynasty.

"But master, what can you help him, the emperor will definitely not agree. To be honest, Xunying doesn't want Ma Xiuying to take care of these things anymore, she only hopes that Ma Xiuying will take care of her body quietly.

"I don't think there are many places where Shen Wansan really wants me to help, what he needs is my attitude. Ma Xiuying thought about it and understood Shen Wansan's current mood. Shen Wansan's decision to leave his homeland must have been very contradictory, he could not bear the miserable life of exile, and at the same time he was at a loss for the life of his future fugitive, and he needed someone to help him make up his mind. Back then, it was Ma Xiuying who persuaded him to smuggle all the time, and now that he wants to go to sea and escape, he naturally wants to hear Ma Xiuying's opinion. If Ma Xiuying told Zhu Yuanzhang about this, he could only cut off his determination to flee, and if Ma Xiuying was willing to help him, he would have the confidence to start a new life again.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"I'll help him. Ma Xiuying smiled bitterly, Zhu Yuanzhang went too far, so much so that even her wife couldn't look at it, Shen Wansan had nowhere to go in the Central Plains, she didn't want to see Shen Wansan suffer such a catastrophe in public and private, it was better to flee to Nanyang than to die in Yunnan.

After Dao Yan entered the palace the next day, Ma Xiuying couldn't wait to tell him Shen Wansan's request.

Dao Yan's expression was not surprised, as if he had known about it for a long time. Ma Xiuying guessed that Shen Wansan not only wrote a letter to ask for help, but also told Dao Yan his thoughts, after all, Dao Yan was his best friend, and he would definitely discuss this kind of important matter with Dao Yan.

Now that Ma Xiuying knows it, Dao Yan no longer hides it, and says directly: "The poor monk doesn't dare to deceive the queen's mother, the poor monk did receive a request for help from Lord Shen, and the poor monk also intends to go to Yunnan, if he is not doing well, the poor monk will send him to sea." ”

At this moment, his expression was confident and strong, as if he had returned to the appearance of a young man who dared to shoot the case and angrily denounced the mediocrity of the Yuan Court, this is the high-spirited man in Ma Xiuying's impression!

Ma Xiuying covered the sourness in her eyes, lowered her head and asked, "Then how do you plan to help him go to sea?"

Dao Yan slowly said a piece of news that shocked both Ma Xiuying and Xun Ying, "Mu Longsheng discussed with the poor monk back then, he wanted to continue to preserve the shadow guard power for the queen mother, so that the queen mother could send it at any time. The poor monk wanted to use this force to rescue Shen Wansan's family......"

"What?" Ma Xiuying interrupted him in disbelief, "You said that Mu Longsheng is still cultivating shadow guards for me all these years?"

Xun Ying was sad and happy, no wonder there was no trace of Mu Longsheng all these years, it turned out that he actually did it. But this fool wouldn't tell her, which made her sad and sad for a long time.

"Yes, Mu Longsheng and the shadow guards who are unwilling to serve the imperial court have re-established a new shadow guard organization, the number of them is not large, but all of them are loyal to the queen mother. Dao Yan didn't tell Ma Xiuying that he also held a position similar to that of the head of the sect, because he was a monk and didn't want to hang up his title, but the people of the New Shadow Guard Organization didn't respect Master Dao Yan when they saw him, especially a few old Shadow Guard members almost treated him as half a leader.

"You, you ......" Ma Xiuying was so excited that she didn't know what to say, after she dedicated the film guard organization to Zhu Yuanzhang, she also regretted it, but more helplessly. Now I heard that there is still a group of old people waiting for her to be dispatched at any time, can you not be moved?

She has never been an indecisive person, and immediately said: "Since you have already made arrangements, then let the shadow guard help Shen Wansan's family escape on the road, and I will let Yuan Xing's men cover for you on the soldier's side." In addition, I will write another edict, if they encounter an inspection by the government and show the edict, the government will not dare to stop it. ”

"Queen Mother!"

"Master!"

Dao Yan and Xun Ying showed worried looks at the same time, in case Ma Xiuying helped Shen Wansan escape was known to Zhu Yuanzhang, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's okay, I'm sick now, even if I make a mistake, the emperor won't punish me heavily. However, you have to persuade Shen Wansan not to stay in the Central Plains for too long, and to go to sea before the government reports the appearance of my edict to the imperial court. Ma Xiuying told her seriously, lest Shen Wansan be reluctant to establish a business empire in the Central Plains after being rescued and be caught by Zhu Yuanzhang, so giving her three heads and six arms would not save Shen Wansan's life.

"You don't have to, the poor monk will help him leave. Dao Yan persuaded that he didn't want Ma Xiuying to take risks for this matter.

Ma Xiuying smiled: "Just let me do my last time for this old friend." ”

The gentle tone and firm look made Dao Yan understand that Ma Xiuying had made up his mind, and he said cautiously: "Please take care of the queen's body, the poor monk will never live up to the queen's trust!"
