In the fourteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the sixteenth day of the first month, it is appropriate to marry, to enter the house, to open, to break ground, and everything is fine.

In Ruihong Town, the new house of the Xie family next to the main street is dressed up with joy, and there is another wedding couplet next to the Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the gate: spring flowers embroider mandarin duck spectrum, and bright moon incense pours amber cups.

This marriage couple, which is full of literary and youthful atmosphere, is naturally from the hand of the talented Xu Sanyuan, and the beautiful and neat italics are pleasing to the eye. It happens to be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the spring season, and the day of the full moon, so this marriage union can be described as quite appropriate, but unfortunately there are not many people who know how to appreciate it, after all, most of the relatives and friends of the Xie family are illiterate......

Early in the morning, the Xie family's new house was full of people and lively, and the neighbors of Beipo Village, as well as the relatives and friends of the Xie family, gathered together. Today is the big day for the eldest of the Xie family to get married, and everyone is here to drink the wedding wine.

Xie Xiaowan put on a new and festive dress, her waist was like a bundle, and the fourteen-year-old girl was slender and pretty, accompanying her mother to entertain guests.

At this moment, Xu Jin was standing outside the gate of the courtyard and was responsible for ushering in the send-off, originally this task should have been Xie Erjian's, but the second brother-in-law who said that he would rush back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month actually missed the appointment, so this task fell on the head of Xu Jin, the son-in-law of the Xie family.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the wedding procession set off and went to the woman's house to welcome the bride through the door. Xu Jin looked at the greeting team that was walking away, but there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

The second brother-in-law Xie Erjian although he usually hangs two bells, but he is never ambiguous, before he asked him to go to Leadshan County to find the governor Sun Sui to move the rescue troops, even if it was pouring rain, he could take people back in time and save nearly 100 people in Xujia Village. This time the eldest brother got married, he should not be absent, but now he has missed the appointment, could it be that he has encountered some changes?

The woman's house was only two or three miles from the town, so the team returned at about 10 a.m. The eldest brother Xie Yidao was wearing a champion robe, with a bouquet of big red flowers hanging in front of him, riding on horseback in the spring breeze, followed by a big saffron sedan chair carried by four sedan chair drivers.

The drummers played festive wedding tunes vigorously, and the pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, and a mischievous little kid even tried to lift the curtain of the sedan chair to peek at the bride's makeup inside, but was slapped on the back of the hand by the matchmaker dressed in fancy clothes, and ran away laughing.

However, just as the welcoming team was about to return to the gate of the Xie family's new house, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside Ruihong Town, and then, dozens of fast horses rushed into the town, and the iron hooves of the war horses struck on the stone slabs of the street, making a thunderous rumbling sound.

But seeing that the knights on the horse were all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, covered with blood, even from a distance, they could feel the murderous aura emanating from their bodies.

In an instant, the people on the street scattered in terror and fled, and the wolves rushed into a pot of porridge. The originally lively greeting procession dispersed, the musicians threw away their musical instruments, and the sedan chair drivers also threw down the sedan chair and ran away.

Xie Yidao's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly flew off the horse and ran back, dragged the bride in the sedan chair out and picked it up, and ran quickly to the house.

Xu Jin was originally standing at the door to greet the guests, so he naturally saw this small group of cavalry rushing murderously on the street. Just as he was startled, the cavalry had already rushed to the front of the house, and the knight in front of him pulled the reins sharply, and the war horse under his crotch stood up.

"Big brother, brother-in-law, where's my father?" The knight on horseback did not wait for the horse's front hooves to hit the ground, then rolled over, jumped down, and roared.

Xu Jin and Xie Yidao were stunned for a moment, and then they recognized that the blood-stained knight in front of them turned out to be Xie Erjian. Xu Jin's heart couldn't help but sink suddenly, as expected, something happened!

At this time, other knights who were a little behind also rushed to Le Dingma, and an old man covered in blood was helped off the horse, Xu Jin's heart was shocked, this old man was not someone else, it was Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi.

"Master Sun!" Xu Jin hurriedly rushed forward.

Xie Erjian wiped the blood stains on his face, and said loudly with red eyes: "Big brother, Master Sun was injured by the firecracker, call Dad quickly!" ”

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

At this moment, Sun Sui was supported by two personal soldiers, his face was like purple gold, and the official robes behind him were stained red with blood, and he was half-squinting in pain, looking dying.

Xu Jin lost his voice and said, "How could Lord Sun make it like this?" ”

Fan Yi, the captain of the pro-soldiers, said with a sad and indignant expression: "King Ning rebelled, and suddenly sent troops to attack the governor's yamen, and the brothers fought to the death to break out of the encirclement. ”

Xu Jin's head couldn't help buzzing, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom, what should have happened still happened, and the situation was even worse than imagined.

Sun Sui said angrily: "Ziqian, King Ning is reversed, and the old man regrets that he shouldn't have listened to your advice!" After speaking, his head tilted and he was silent.

"Your Excellency!" A group of pro-soldiers cried out in mourning.

Xu Jin probed Sun Sui's snort, and found that he had just fainted, so he calmed down a little, and said calmly: "Lord Sun is just fainting, go to the house to rescue him." ”

"I'm coming!" Xie Erjian stepped forward with an arrow step, picked up Sun Sui and ran into the house.

Fan Yi was about to follow up, but Xu Jin hurriedly said, "General Fan, slow down!" ”

Fan Yi was the captain of Sun Sui's personal army, and he knew that Lord Sun valued Xu Jin, so he hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "What does Master Xu have to order?" ”

Xu Jin asked in a deep voice: "Is there a chasing soldier behind?" ”

Fan Yi nodded and said, "There are indeed chasing soldiers, but we have thrown them away, and we should not be able to find this place before dark." ”

Xu Jin frowned, shook his head and said: "It's a matter of the governor's safety, don't be careless, General Fan immediately sent two people to guard outside the town, and once there is a change, he won't deal with it in a hurry." ”

Fan Yi patted his forehead and said, "I'm careless, thank you for reminding you!" ”

Fan Yi hurriedly sent two brothers with good skills to guard outside the town, and the rest of them 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 face, he couldn't help but apologize, it was bad luck to encounter this kind of thing on the wedding day, and he stepped forward and comforted softly: "Sister-in-law, this place is dangerous and stays for a long time, you go in and change your wedding dress and go back to your parents' house to avoid it for a while." ”

"Thank you brother-in-law for your kindness, I'm not leaving!" Cuihua shook her head and said stubbornly: "The sedan chair takes the door, I am a member of the Xie family!" ”

A flash of appreciation flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, but he was no longer reluctant, and nodded: "Then I have wronged my sister-in-law for the time being, and I will make up for the missing etiquette in a few days." ”

Cuihua nodded, and followed Xu Jin into the house, at this time, the neighbors and friends in the courtyard were almost gone, King Ning rebelled, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm, who would dare to mess with the little people?

In a certain room in the front yard, the charcoal fire in the stove was blazing, and the Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui was lying on the bed, and the official robe on his back was torn open, but he saw that the flesh and blood on the back of the shoulder were blurred, and there was a blood hole, and the blood oozing out of the surrounding area was slightly black.

Xie Qing stood in front of the bed with a solemn expression, his eyes were hesitant, and at this moment, Xu Jin and Fan Yi pushed 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 this shot didn't hit the vital point, it was estimated to be fatal. You must know that the guns of the Ming Dynasty are all lead bullets, this thing is poisonous, you can see the black blood flowing out of the wound, not to mention the soft texture of lead, the bones are easy to break, it is very difficult to take out, with the current level of medical care, the mortality rate of being hit by lead bullet is very high.

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

Xie Qing said in a deep voice: "I'm fifty percent sure, I checked it just now, the projectile didn't break, it is estimated that it was hit from a long distance, but if you want to take it out, you have to cut the wound, if it bleeds too much, I'm afraid Lord Sun's age can't resist." ”

Fan Yi and Xie Erjian were silent, it was a matter of life and death for the governor, and they couldn't afford to take this responsibility, so they didn't dare to make a decision.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, he had persuaded Sun Sui to move the governor's yamen away from Nanchang, but unfortunately Sun Sui didn't listen, now King Ning is reversed, Sun Sui is half dead, this situation is so bad that it can't be worse.

The most important thing is that King Ning will definitely not let Sun Sui go, and it is only a matter of time before he sends troops to chase and kill, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and he must flee as soon as possible.

Xu Jin pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Please ask your father-in-law to treat Lord Sun, and all the responsibilities will be borne by the son-in-law." ”

Take out the lead bullet in the wound, Sun Sui still has a hope of survival, if he doesn't take out the lead bullet, then he will be dead, it is better to fight. What's more, he has been taking care of Sun Sui, how can Xu Jin see death and not save him!

Fan Yi opened his mouth and finally remained silent!

Xie Qing nodded and said, "Okay!" With that, he picked up the red-hot dagger from the stove.

Xu Jin was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, slow down!" ”

Xie Qing froze his movements, frowned, and said, "Don't save it?" ”

Xu Jin shook his head and said: "The governor is too old, so I'm afraid I can't stand it, in fact, the dagger can be sterilized by boiling it in boiling water for a while." Second brother, go get an iron pot and needlework! ”

Xie Erjian hurriedly ran out of the room, although he didn't understand the use of taking a needle and thread, but he just did it, his brother-in-law always had some strange ideas, but it worked!

Soon, Xie Erjian took an iron pot rack and boiled water on the stove, and handed Xu Jin a turn of needle and thread.

Xu Jin threw all the needles and threads into the pot and boiled them for sterilization, and said to Xie Qing: "Father-in-law, I will take out the projectile and sew it up later, so that it is easy to stop the bleeding and the wound can heal faster." ”

Fan Yi and Xie Erdao were so shocked that their faces changed, did they sew human flesh like clothes?

Xie Qing glanced at Xu Jin in shock, this method of healing injuries was unheard of, and hesitated: "Virtuous 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 it all around, and sewed the wound with needle and thread according to what Xu Jin said......
