Chapter 225: Farewell (End of Volume)

"I saw it, and they said they were waiting for you to go out outside the city, so you have to be obedient."

"Hmm." Zhang Zongzhao nodded and continued to work hard.

After a while, Baijin crawled out of the cave, with a look of joy and disappointment, "It seems that it has not been dug yet." ”

"There's not much left, we can dig it ourselves, dig it now."

Baijin said: "Don't be in a hurry to dig, I want to bring the prince over first, the hour is not early, he will be afraid when it gets dark." ”

Ma Du frowned and asked, "Isn't there another servant?" ”

As soon as he asked, Baijin began to cry again, "It's all conscienceless, because the princess treated him like before, she actually rolled up her belongings and ran away, not even leaving a copper plate, and the two princes haven't eaten for a day......"

Baijin wept and wept and told everything after leaving the palace, he and the servant and the two children first settled in a private house, who knew that after the city was broken, the servant actually took all the money and left.

The three of them struggled to survive on little food, and Baijin did not dare to go to the street to receive relief, and finally the food ran out, and the three of them had not eaten for more than a day.

Zhang Zongzhao cried endlessly, clamoring to go back to the palace, but Baijin was helpless, so he could only take him to the alley near the palace to take a look, and happened to run into Ma Du.

Ma Du smiled bitterly, "He didn't hand you over directly, it's already considered a conscience, and the two princes have a lot of rewards." ”

"So the slave maid thought about changing places quickly, but unfortunately there was nowhere to go, thanks to the gentleman who gave him such a place to live."

"I haven't changed places yet! What are you still doing in a daze, let's go quickly! ”

Baijin nodded and said to Zhang Zongzhao: "The second prince must not run around, Mr. Ma and I will come back when we go." She also knew that taking her two children on the street was too eye-catching.

The two went to the door again and took Zhang Zongzhou, who was hidden in the house, to the warehouse, and the journey was smooth and smooth, and they didn't meet any interrogating soldiers.

It's really hard for Zhang Zongzhou to be able to hold the shelf of the prince at this time, and he still eats in a sven manner, and from time to time he praises Ma Du, who is Zhang Shicheng's loyal minister, and Ma Du can only smile bitterly at this.

Being a ground mouse is much more difficult than Ma Du imagined, and he also understands why Chang Mao and they dug the tunnel so wide, because it was too narrow to swing a shovel, so Ma Du had to follow their standards.

He digs 100 gold during the day and digs at night, it is really difficult for her to be a weak woman, the speed does not have to be slow, obviously she is very anxious.

Ma Du took off the scarf on his head and neck, took off the dirty clothes on his body, wiped the dust off his hands and face with a wet towel, and put on his usual clothes again.

He said to Baijin, who was full of tiredness: "You can't sleep well during the day, don't dig at night, if you are tired, you will be in trouble." ”

Baijin rubbed his cheeks and said: "I'm not tired, if I can go out a day earlier, my heart will be more down-to-earth." It's getting late, so let's go back quickly. ”

Ma Du naturally has to go back to live in the government every day, Xu Da is busy dealing with various affairs, Zhu Wenying is busy collecting prisoners, and often lives in the barracks, but he doesn't pay attention to Ma Du.

As personal elders, they followed Lao Liu and Zhang Wuliu but had to wonder what Ma Du was doing when they left early and returned late.

Weng and his son-in-law finally couldn't help it, and Lao Liu said: "Master, if you are still angry because of what happened last time, you can beat the two of us, don't go out without us." ”

Ma Du snorted coldly: "Just allow you two sons-in-law to go out and be chic and happy, and don't let me go!" ”

Lao Liu looked suddenly enlightened, no wonder the old man's clothes had the fragrance of a woman's body. There is a princess in Yingtian, Qin Huaihe usually can't go, but now he is engaged again, and the new lady is also very tight. If you don't take advantage of the chic and happy now, you really won't have a chance in the future.

Zhang Wuliu said with a smile: "It turns out that it's because of this, I thought that the old man was angry and didn't want me to be a long-term follower." It's not a big deal, next time the lord will bring me with him, and he will promise not to talk nonsense when he returns to Ying Tian. ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of you talking nonsense, it's that my lord and I are thin-skinned, unlike you two sons-in-law who actually have the face to go to the kiln together. Especially you Zhang Wuliu, don't forget that Chunhua was pregnant in October and suffered from labor pains, and the day should be born now, this is a ghost door, touch your conscience and let the dog eat.

And you Lao Liu, it is true that you and Wuliu used to be brothers in life and death, but now you are his father-in-law, you don't care if he still messes around with him. Before I came, I said that I would let Wuliu accompany Chunhua to give birth, but you didn't let me, saying that giving birth to a child is a woman's business, but don't forget that woman is your own daughter......"

Ma Du squirted at them, and the two of them fled with red faces and red ears, looking at their appearance, they didn't care how chic and happy Ma Du was for a while.

A few strong men could dig the tunnel in one day, and Ma Du and Baijin took six days, and Ma Du did not go back that night. It stayed until late at night, when a shovel broke through the last bit of soil.

The entrance to the cave was not too big, only one person could barely pass through, Madu poked his head out of the ground and looked around, there was silence outside the city, and there was no one there.

More than half of the 200,000 troops brought by Xu Da have returned to the station, after all, when they are out on the march, so many men and horses are a great consumption every day.

The rest of the army has already moved to the city, and there is no one outside the city, so there is no need to worry about being discovered. Although the fire on the top of the city is bright, it is dark under the lamp, and the movement of the base of the city wall cannot be seen.

Ma Du pulled the three of them up from the tunnel one by one, and said softly to them: "Don't be nervous, don't talk, don't run, it's troublesome if you are discovered, although they can't get out of the city, but they will drop arrows." ”

The three of them were obedient, nodding in unison, and even Zhang Zongzhou, who was holding Baijin in his arms, covered his mouth with his little hand.

Everything went more smoothly than Ma Du imagined, the filled moat had not yet been cleared, there was no need for them to swim across, and the trench dug to prevent Zhang Shicheng from escaping became a hidden escape route. It seems that everything Xu Da did for the siege of the city was to facilitate the escape of Zhang Shicheng's son.

Ma Du sent the three of them more than a mile away, and handed over a small package to Baijin, "These things are all rewards given by King Wu at the beginning, which is enough for you to spend a lifetime, you can go." ”

The big pearl given by Zhang Shicheng, the Song family brothers and sisters took one and there were eight left. Ma Du found a few things from Zhang Shicheng's palace in the cellar, which were probably lost here by Chang Mao, and only his arrogant character could do such a thing.

Ma Du changed some gold leaves for them, packed them together and handed them over to 100 gold, not to mention a single pearl the size of a dragon's eye, if it is used according to the expenses of ordinary people, it will be enough for a lifetime.

Zhang Zongzhao looked around, "Where is Mr. Pony's father and princess?" ”

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Is Mr. Ma also going to leave us!" There was a hint of resentment in his words.

Baijin put down Zhang Zongzhao and said to Zhang Zongzhou: "The prince is optimistic about the second prince, and the slave has something to say to Mr. Ma." Please move sir. ”

She pulled Madu away from her, and with a puff she knelt in front of Mado.

Ma Du hurriedly dodged away, "Baijin, what are you doing, hurry up!" ”

Baijin slowly raised her head, and her tears could be seen in the moonlight, "Today, thanks to the help of Mr. to escape from the ascension, Baijin is just an ignorant woman, with two young sons who don't know how to survive in this troubled world, Mr. Qiu remembers the friendship of the prince and princess, and bless the two children to grow up." ”

She knelt quietly in the moonlight, as if she were a devout believer, her eyes full of anticipation and unspeakable affection.

But all that awaited her was three simple words, "Impossible!" ”

Baijin didn't give up, turned around and grabbed the corner of Ma Du's clothes, glared at him and asked, "Why is it impossible!" I know that Mr. is not a person who covets power and wealth, and that Mr. is loyal, righteous, benevolent, and a hundred gold, and is a thousand times better than those people, and there is no one else who can protect the two children except Mr. If...... If it's because of a woman, it's ...... a hundred gold I am also willing to serve Mr. in the form of a willow. ”

"You think too much about Baijin, I am from King Wu and King Zhu Wu, so what you said is simply impossible." Madu simply gave up her thoughts.

Baijin didn't believe it, "Even if the gentleman doesn't agree to me, don't use such words to coax me." ”

"I didn't lie to you, I'm not just a person from King Wu, but also the brother of Princess Wu, you forgot my surname is Ma." Ma Du believes that Princess Liu must have mentioned Ma Dajia in the palace, just like Ma Dajia also talked about Princess Liu.

Baijin's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he sat on his lap, but he smiled in a daze: "Ridiculous, really ridiculous, this is the most ridiculous story Mr. Pony has ever told." ”

"Actually, I think it's ridiculous." Ma Du took a jade pendant from his neck and hung it around Baijin's neck, "This is given to me by Zhang Shicheng." As a last resort, you can go to Caomiao Village, Baijuchang, Xinghua, Taizhou to find a fisherman named Chen Erhai, and he will take you out to sea. ”

Zhang Shicheng didn't give this thing to the two brothers of Zhang Zongzhao but gave it to Ma Du, and he was sure that this place was not suitable for the two brothers of the Zhang family, so Ma Du said, "As a last resort."

Baijin sneered: "I won't send the prince and the prince to that jealous woman!" She took off the pendant and wanted to throw it away, but took it back, "What the hell is the prince's thing, leave a memory for the two children."

Sure enough, the two brothers really couldn't go to this place.

Baijin staggered to his feet, deeply blessed, "The slave is gone, I wish Mr. Wandai!" ”

Ma Du could hear the resentment in her words, and watched Baijin disappear into the night with the Zhang family brothers, and he muttered: "Zhang Shicheng, we are even, don't come to my dream again......"
