In the 14th year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, it was a good time to get married, move into a house, open a business, and break ground, and everything would go well.

In Ruihong Town, the Xie family's new house located next to the main street is decorated with joy. Next to the Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the gate, there is a wedding couplet: spring flowers embroider the mandarin duck spectrum, and the bright moon fills the amber cup.

This wedding couplet full of literary and youthful atmosphere was naturally written by the great talent Xu Sanyuan. The beautiful and neat regular script of his hand is pleasing to the eye. It happens to be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival, the day of the full moon, so this wedding couplet

It is quite appropriate for the occasion, but unfortunately not many people know how to appreciate it. After all, most of the Xie family's relatives, friends and neighbors are illiterate...

Early in the morning, the Xie family's new house was bustling with people. Neighbors from Beipo Village, as well as relatives and friends of the Xie family gathered together. Today is a happy day for the eldest son of the Xie family to get married, and everyone is here to drink the wedding wine.

.

Xie Xiaowan put on brand-new festive clothes, with a slender waist and a slim and pretty fourteen-year-old girl. She accompanied her mother to entertain the guests.

At this moment, Xu Jin was standing outside the courtyard in charge of welcoming and sending off. Originally, this task should be done by Xie Erjian, but his second brother-in-law, who had promised to come back on the 15th day of the first lunar month, unexpectedly missed the appointment, so this task fell to Xu Jin, the son-in-law of the Xie family.

on the head.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the wedding team set off with great fanfare and headed to the bride's house to welcome the bride. Xu Jin felt inexplicably uneasy as he looked at the wedding team walking away.

Although his second brother-in-law, Xie Erjian, was always in charge, he was never vague in his work. He was previously asked to go to Qianshan County to find the governor Sun Sui to move reinforcements. Even if it rained heavily, he was able to lead his people back in time and save everyone in Xujia Village.

There are nearly a hundred people in the family. This time the eldest brother is getting married. He should not be absent, but now he has missed the appointment. Could it be that something happened?

The bride's family is only two or three miles away from the town, so the team to pick up the bride came back around ten in the morning. The eldest brother Xie Yidao was wearing a scholar's robe, with a bouquet of red flowers hanging in front of him, riding on a horse with a spring breeze on his face, and behind him

Followed by a big red sedan chair carried by four bearers.

The drummers played festive wedding songs hard, and pedestrians on the street stopped one after another. A naughty kid even tried to step forward and lift the curtain of the sedan to peek at the bride's makeup inside, but he was dressed up in all her glory.

The matchmaker slapped the back of her hand and ran away with a smile.

However, just when the wedding team was about to return to the door of the Xie family's new house, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hooves outside Ruihong Town. Then, dozens of fast horses rushed into the town, and the iron hoofs of the war horses struck the stone slabs of the street.

above, making a muffled thunderous roar.

But I saw that the knights on the horse were all wearing mandarin duck battle coats and their bodies were covered in blood. Even from a distance, I could feel the murderous aura emanating from their bodies.

In an instant, the people on the street fled in panic, running like wolves and squirrels, turning into a mess. The bustling wedding procession dispersed in a hurry, the musicians threw away their instruments, and the bearers also abandoned the sedan chair and ran away.

Just run.

Xie Yidao's expression changed greatly, he hurriedly dismounted and ran back, dragged the bride out of the sedan chair, picked her up horizontally, and ran quickly to the house. In the panic, the bride's red headband fell off.

Xu Jin was already standing at the door to welcome guests, so he naturally saw this small group of cavalry charging towards the street with murderous intent. Just as he was surprised, the group of cavalry had already rushed to the front of the house, and the knight in front of him reined in his horse fiercely.

The people of Xilulu stood up.

"Brother, brother-in-law, where is my father?" The knight on the horse turned over and jumped off before the horse's front hooves hit the ground, shouting urgently.

Xu Jin and Xie Yidao were stunned for a moment, and then they recognized that the bloody knight in front of them was actually Xie Erjian. Xu Jin's heart suddenly sank, as expected, something happened!

At this time, other knights who were slightly behind also rushed to rein in their horses. An old man covered in blood was helped off his horse. Xu Jin was shocked. This old man was none other than Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi.

"Master Sun!" Xu Jin rushed forward in a hurry.

Xie Erjian wiped the blood on his face, said loudly with red eyes: "Brother, Mr. Sun was injured by a fire gun, call dad quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yidao hurriedly put down his bride Cuihua, turned around and ran into the house.

At this moment, Sun Sui was being supported by two soldiers, his face was as purple as gold, and the official robe on his back was stained red with blood. He was half-squinting his eyes in pain, looking like he was dying.

Xu Jin lost his voice and said: "How could Mr. Sun do this?"

Fan Yi, the captain of the guards, said with a sad and indignant look: "King Ning rebelled and suddenly sent troops to attack the governor's office. The brothers fought to the death and broke out of the encirclement."

Xu Jin's head couldn't help but buzz, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom. What was supposed to happen happened, and the situation was worse than imagined.

Sun Sui said angrily: "Zi Qian, Prince Ning has rebelled against me. I regret that I should have listened to your advice!" After saying this, he tilted his head and lost his voice.

"Sir!" A group of soldiers cried out sadly.

Xu Jin checked Sun Sui's breathing and found that he had just fainted. He calmed down and said calmly: "Master Sun just fainted. Go back to the house and rescue him."

"I'm coming!" Xie Erjian stepped forward, picked up Sun Sui, and ran towards the house.

Just as Fan Yi was about to follow up, Xu Jin quickly said: "General Fan, wait a minute!"

Fan Yi was the captain of Sun Sui's personal soldiers. He knew how much Lord Sun valued Xu Jin, so he quickly stood still and said respectfully: "What are your orders, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Jin asked in a deep voice: "Are there any pursuers behind?"

Fan Yi nodded and said: "There are indeed pursuers, but we got rid of them. They shouldn't be able to find them here before dark."

Xu Jin frowned and shook his head and said: "It is related to the safety of the governor. Don't be careless. General Fan immediately sent two people to guard the outside of the town. If there is a change, there will be no hasty response."

Fan Yi slapped his forehead and said: "I was careless, thank you Mr. Xu for reminding me!"

Fan Yi hurriedly sent two skilled brothers to guard outside the town, while the rest dismounted and rested on the spot to recover their strength.

Xu Jin was about to turn around and return to the courtyard when he saw the bride Cuihua standing at the door with a panicked look on her face. She couldn't help but apologize. It was bad luck to encounter such a thing on her wedding day. She stepped forward and comforted her softly:

"Sister-in-law, this place is too dangerous to stay for a long time. You can go in and change into your wedding clothes and go back to your parents' house for a while."

"Thank you for your kindness, brother-in-law, I won't leave!" Cuihua shook her head and said stubbornly: "When you are taken out in a sedan chair, I will become a member of the Xie family!"

A flash of appreciation flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, but he no longer forced himself. He nodded and said: "Then I have wronged my sister-in-law for the time being. The missing etiquette will be made up for later."

Cuihua nodded and followed Xu Jin into the house. At this time, almost all the neighbors, relatives and friends in the yard were gone. Prince Ning had rebelled, and there was going to be a bloody storm. Who would dare to mess with this?

In a room in the front yard, there was a blazing charcoal fire in the stove. Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi Province, lay unconscious on the bed. His official robe was torn open on his back, but he could see that his shoulders and back were bloody and bloody, and there was a blood hole around it.

The blood turned slightly black.

Xie Qing stood in front of the bed solemnly, with hesitant eyes. At this moment, Xu Jin and Fan Yi opened the door and walked in.

Xu Jin glanced at the wound on Sun Sui's shoulder and back, and couldn't help but gasp. Although the shot did not hit the vital part, it was probably fatal. You must know that the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty used lead bullets. This thing

But it is poisonous, as can be seen by the black blood flowing out around the wound. What's more, lead is soft and easily breaks bones when hit. It is very difficult to take it out. With the current medical level, people who are hit by lead bullets die.

The rate is very high.

"Father-in-law, are you sure?" Xu Jin asked in a low voice.

Xie Qing said solemnly: "I'm 50% sure. I checked just now and the projectile didn't break. It was probably hit from a long distance. But to take it out, you have to cut open the wound. If there is excessive bleeding, I'm afraid Mr. Sun's age

I can’t resist it.”

Both Fan Yi and Xie Erjian were silent. It was a matter of life and death for the governor. They could not bear this responsibility, so they did not dare to make a decision.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly. He had originally persuaded Sun Sui to move the governor's office away from Nanchang, but unfortunately Sun Sui didn't listen. Now that King Ning has rebelled, Sun Sui is half dead. This situation cannot get any worse.

The most important thing is that King Ning will definitely not let Sun Sui go. It will be a matter of time before he sends troops to chase him. Therefore, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time and he must escape as soon as possible.

Xu Jin pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Please father-in-law to save Mr. Sun. All responsibilities will be borne by my son-in-law."

After taking out the lead bullet from the wound, Sun Sui still had a 50% chance of surviving. If he didn't take out the lead bullet, he would be dead, so he might as well give it a try. What's more, Xu Jin had been relying on Sun Sui's care.

There is no reason not to save someone!

Fan Yi opened his mouth, but finally remained silent!

Xie Qing nodded and said: "Okay!" After saying that, [567中文www.yue20.com] picked up the red-hot dagger in the stove.

Xu Jin was startled when he saw this and said quickly: "Father-in-law, wait a minute!"

Xie Qing froze his movements, frowned and said, "Can't we save him?"

Xu Jin shook his head and said: "The governor is too old. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this. In fact, the dagger can be sterilized by boiling it in boiling water for a while. Second brother, go get an iron pot and a needle and thread!"

Xie Erjian hurriedly ran out of the room. Although he didn't understand the use of the needle and thread, he just did as he was told. His brother-in-law always had some weird ideas, but they worked!

Soon, Xie Erjian took an iron pot and put it on the stove to boil water, and handed a piece of needle and thread to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin threw the needles and threads into the pot, boiled them for disinfection, and said to Xie Qing: "Father-in-law, take out the projectiles later and sew up the wound. This will stop the bleeding easily and the wound will heal faster."

Fan Yi and Xie Erdao both changed their faces in shock. Are they sewing human flesh like clothes?

Xie Qing glanced at Xu Jin in shock. This method of treating injuries was unheard of. He hesitated and said, "Xian son-in-law, is this okay?"

Xu Jin nodded affirmatively!

Soon, the water in the iron pot was boiled. Xie Qing took out the dagger and quickly cut Sun Sui's wound, took out the lead bullet inside, cleaned the surrounding area, and then used the medicine on the wound as Xu Jin said.
Chapter completed!
