Ma Cheng was very anxious at first, but now he heard Ma Shiying talking nonsense again, and said angrily: "Dad, when is it now? How can you still not see the situation clearly? Then Lu Siye is the admiral of the inner city. Without the emperor's will, will he dare to bring his troops into the imperial city? Even if Lu Siye colludes with the Donglin Party to get rid of you, my father and son, will they dare to do this without the emperor's acquiesce?"

Ma Shiying was speechless by Ma Cheng's words. Ma Shiying is also a veteran in politics. In fact, he already knew in his heart that it must be the emperor's order to get rid of him this time. However, Ma Shiying was deeply educated by Confucianism for many years and his thoughts of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty were deeply rooted. He could not accept the fact that the emperor wanted to kill him for a while.

When Ma Cheng saw Ma Shiying and Ma Luan holding their heads and not talking, he cursed in his heart that they were all trash. They were usually like Zhang Liang alive, but why did they have no idea now?

As a military general, Ma Xi was better. He adjusted his breath evenly and then came to Ma Cheng and asked, "Second brother, what should I do now?"

Ma Cheng turned around and looked at Ma Shiying and Ma Luan, thinking in his heart that he didn't care much at this time. Don't say that he was just a time traveler and had no father-son relationship with Ma Shiying. Even when Ma Shiying's own son encounters such a critical moment, he will have to fly away from each other.

"Third brother, my father and elder brother are exhausted. You can keep here to protect them. Second brother, I will go out to find rescue and bring people back to save you later!"

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, regardless of Ma Shiying and the other two, he picked up the Xiuchun Knife and left the house and disappeared into the dark night outside the house.

When Ma Xi saw Ma Cheng running away, he didn't know what the second brother was thinking. Ma Xi also wanted to learn from Ma Cheng and get up and run away, but Ma Xi turned around and looked at Ma Shiying and Ma Luan, thinking about the care of his father and elder brother for him. After all, Ma Xi is different from Ma Cheng whose conscience is eaten by dogs. He gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart: You bastard, run away, I stay and die with my father and elder brother!

No matter how those three people scolded him, escaping at this time is important, so what do you think about others?

Ma Cheng came out and looked at the direction. He should be close to Houzaimen. Houzaimen is the back gate of Nanjing Palace City. Not far from here is Bei'anmen Street. After leaving Bei'anmen, you will leave the imperial city.

After taking the direction lightly, Ma Cheng rushed for more than 500 meters, came to the palace wall, and looked outside with a gap. The west street of Houzaimen was dark, with a palace lantern hanging every 100 meters, but no one was patrolling.

After passing Houzaimen West Street, Yulin Right Guard, which was the base of the Imperial Guard in the early Ming Dynasty. However, after so many years, the barracks had already collapsed and were broken walls everywhere.

Ma Cheng looked at the left and right and left, turned it out from the gap in the palace wall, then carefully passed Houzaimen West Street, and then entered Yulin Right Guard.

Even if you are half successful here, you will be Bei'anmen not far ahead, and if you leave Bei'anmen, you will be Taiping Gate in Nanjing. As long as you leave the city, Ma Cheng will be safe.

Although success is right in front of us, Ma Cheng did not dare to be careless and hid in the ruins carefully and came to Bei'an Gate without any danger.

When he arrived at Bei'anmen, Ma Cheng was stunned. There was no place inside the imperial city with empty defense. There was a Jinyiwei Qianhu here in Bei'anmen, leading the guards of the three hundred palaces to guard here. If you want to pass here, you will be bound to ascend to the sky.

Ma Cheng originally planned to go to Bei'anmen Gate to find a gap in the city wall and climb over the wall. But he really saw the imperial city.

Ma Cheng was stunned. The city wall was more than ten meters high. The key was that there was no gap on it.

Ma Cheng used to be the commander of Nanjing City. He knew that although Nanjing Imperial City occupied a large area, due to its disrepair, there were many gaps of large and small on the city wall. In order to defend Nanjing, Ma Cheng also embezzled materials for repairing the imperial city to defend the Qing army outside the city.

But Ma Cheng didn't expect that he had only left for more than a year, so why has all the gaps in the imperial city been renovated? How much does it cost? Seeing this, Ma Cheng secretly called Zhu Lunkui a fool, and led his army to fight to the death on the front line. The military pay he gave was not sufficient every time, and it seemed that he was used to repair the imperial city wall.

In fact, Ma Cheng misunderstood Zhu Lunkui. Renovating the city wall is not what Zhu Lunkui means, but it happens to be Ma Cheng's Laozi and Ma Shiying means. The reason is very simple. The imperial city and the palace city represent the face of the emperor. In order to demonstrate the legitimacy of Zhu Lunkui's ascension, it is necessary to renovate the city walls. So now, the walls of the imperial city and the palace city are both new, and the internal buildings and facilities of the city walls are ruined.

Ma Cheng was unconscious at this time and thought about how the city wall came about. What he was worried about now was how to escape quickly.

Ma Cheng lay on the side to watch the Jinyiwei guards guarding the city. It was revealed that these guys were disciplined and had no blind spots on the patrol route. Ma Cheng observed for a long time without any flaws.

Ma Cheng looked at it for half an hour, but he didn't find a chance to escape. At this time, the sky was already pale and it was almost dawn, so it was too late to go out. When it was dawn, all the guards in the palace were coming out, and if they wanted to find him, they wouldn't pinch him with a handful?

At this time, Ma Cheng saw three rooms under the city wall, where the Jinyiwei of the City took turns to rest and change shifts, and there was also a separate room for Qianhu. Seeing that Ma Cheng decided to take the risk, it was not a solution to wait any longer. Now he had to find the Qianhu. Whether it was to grab it or take it, he had to get the key to Bei'anmen.

After Ma Cheng and the Jinyiwei who were patrolling the night, they quietly came to the Qianhu Office on duty. They poked the window paper with their fingers and saw that there was only one person inside, which should be Qianhu Office on duty tonight.

When Ma Cheng saw this Qianhu, he was overjoyed because he recognized this person. The Qianhu was called Ding Wei, which was one of the secret stakes arranged by the Military Information Department to the palace.

Ding Wei was one of the first soldiers recruited by Ma Cheng in Fengyang, and it can be said that he was Ma Cheng's confidant. A few months ago, Ma Cheng left Hangzhou and returned to Nanjing. He was afraid that Zhu Lunkui would take risks, so Ma Cheng ordered the Military Information Department to arrange a few confidants in the palace to prepare for emergencies, but he did not expect to use them now.

With his own people, Ma Cheng no longer worried. He went around to the main door, opened the door and walked in. Ding Wei in the room saw the door push open and was about to ask who it was, he found that the person at the door was his master Ma Cheng.

Ding Wei didn't expect Ma Cheng to come to see him in person, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "I will pay homage to the Marquis!"

Ma Cheng quickly helped Ding Wei up, then closed the door and whispered: "I didn't expect that it was your old Ding on duty today, so that's all right now!"

"Mr. Marquis, aren't you drinking in the palace? Why did you get here at the end?" Bei'anmen is located in the north of the imperial city. It is sparsely populated and is not a downtown area, so there are very few people coming here.

"Oh, old... I am unlucky today. Lu Siye, a bastard, was not convinced by me. This time, I prepared 100 people in Xi'anmen Square and wanted to take the opportunity to get it.

I have no choice but to come to you! Open the city gate and let the governor go out, and wait until the governor starts a large army to destroy Lu Siye, this bastard!"

Although Ding Wei was Ma Cheng's confidant, no one believed Ma Cheng at this critical moment, so he did not tell the truth to Ding Wei, but just said that he had a grudge with Lu Siye.

Ding Wei did not think about anything else. When he heard Ma Cheng ask him to open the city gate, Ding Wei frowned and said, "Marty, the key to the city gate is not here, but is under the jurisdiction of the palace supervisor. Only after dawn will the eunuch in charge be released!"

Ma Cheng didn't expect that there was this system in the palace, so he had no choice but to ask: "What should I do? Lu Siye is taking people to find my supervisor. You should think of a way to get my supervisor out!"

"Please rest assured, after receiving the order from the Marquis, the Military Information Department has been prepared, and the general has also prepared a cable to let the Marquis go down the city! Lord Zhang is ready in the city, and in a while, I will send two subordinates to escort the Marquis out of the city!"

Ma Cheng was overjoyed when he heard Ding Wei say this, patted Ding Wei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, when I escape, you Ding Wei will be my life-saving benefactor!"

Ding Weilian said he didn't dare, so he went out to summon his subordinates to prepare cables and prepare to let Ma Cheng out of the city.

After all the preparations were completed, Ma Cheng changed into the Jinyiwei Feiyu Flying Suit that Ding Wei prepared. After all, Ma Cheng's big dragon python robe was too conspicuous. Everyone knew that this was an important person when wearing it, but the flying Suit Suit was not so conspicuous.

The flying fish suit is the clothes of the guards in the palace. Although it is quite conspicuous, there are thousands of guards in the palace, and no one will check each person in detail. At the same time, the flying fish suit still has a certain deterrent effect in Nanjing City to avoid being investigated by patrol soldiers of the inspection department and the military commander.

After changing his clothes, Ma Cheng came to Bei'anmen. From here, Ma Cheng sat down in a bamboo basket. When he was about to leave, Ma Cheng wanted Ding Wei to pick up his father and others, but after thinking about it, Ma Cheng did not say it. The reason is very simple. If Ma Shiying and others die, Ma Cheng will have an excuse to clear the emperor. His father and son will sit firmly on the throne for you, Zhu Lunkui, and it will be no less than dedication. Now you, Zhu Lunkui, are going to turn against me, father and son, so don't blame me, Ma Cheng for doing anything out of the ordinary!

Of course, Ma Cheng didn't go to save Ma Shiying, and Ma Shiying was Ma Cheng's son. If Ma Shiying was alive, he had to stay before Ma Cheng. How could Ma Cheng, who was preparing to be a warlord, endure it? So after Ma Cheng's consideration, he decided not to save Ma Shiying. The dead Ma Shiying is more beneficial than the alive Ma Shiying.

Ma Cheng sat down in a bamboo basket and then disappeared into the night under the leadership of his two confidants. Ding Wei sighed when he saw Ma Cheng leave, and let Ma Cheng leave today, and there will be bloody storms in Nanjing tomorrow. I really don’t know whether what he did is right or wrong.

Although Ma Cheng did not explain that the emperor wanted to kill him, Ding Wei had already guessed what happened. No matter how brave Lu Siye was, he would not dare to lead troops into the imperial city to kill a minister of the country, so there was only one person who gave this order, that was the emperor.
