Xie Yu, dressed in red, was crying in her mother's arms.
She is already eighteen years old this year. She is getting married late, but it is not too late. This is related to her background.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population was booming, which was far less than that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and not as prosperous as that of the early Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin needed to amend the laws to supervise production.
The attitude towards marriage during this period was comparable to that of later generations. Many people married late and had children late, and even more divorced and remarried.
Women who have had childbirth experience are especially welcome.
Fertility conditions in ancient times were very poor. Whether a child could be born smoothly had a lot to do with the mother's physical condition.
Instead of marrying a childless man, most men, especially those from aristocratic families, prefer to marry women who have given birth to children.
Of course, these women usually have more concubines, but it does not rule out that they are directly the head wives. In this case, the mother's family usually has a noble status.
Xie Yu came from a famous family, so it was naturally impossible for her to be a concubine, so she replaced her with an equal wife.
"Okay, Yu'er, that's almost it. I'm not asking you to marry thousands of miles away. From now on, you will be in Anyi. You can come back to see your mother at any time." Father Xie urged outside the door.
Xie Yu hugged her mother very affectionately, and when she heard her father's words, she snorted angrily.
Mother Xie wiped her tears and said, "Don't just listen to your father's words. When you get to the Wei Mansion from now on, you have to do your duty and don't come back every two days. People who don't know better think that my daughter, Mrs. Xie, doesn't understand the rules."
In ancient times, it was not easy to return to her parents' home. If a woman suddenly returned to her parents' home one day, she would either be bullied by her husband's family, or she would be rejected by her husband. In short, it would not be a good thing.
Xie Yu nodded repeatedly with red eyes, feeling even more reluctant to give up.
"Master, Madam, Miss, my uncle has already set off." The voice of the grandma announcing the good news came from the yard.
Hearing this, Xie Yu suddenly became nervous.
"Ah, here it comes, nana, I, I, mother, I want to go to the toilet."
Xie Yu had a bad habit since she was a child. When she was nervous, she would want to go to the toilet. In fact, she couldn't urinate at all. It was a purely physiological reaction.
As a mother, how could Mother Xie understand her little thoughts? She asked the maid to close the screen and prepare the chamber pot.
Xie Yu walked coyly to the back of the screen. Through the screen, she could faintly see her mother and aunts covering their mouths and laughing. She was so embarrassed that she stamped her feet and shouted, "Oh, you all, get out."
Mother Xie and others covered their mouths and giggled. The sadness they felt just now disappeared. They took several nannies and maids and left the boudoir one after another.
Xie Yu, who was behind the screen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Just when I was about to take off my clothes.
Boom!
Xie Yu felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and instinctively turned around to defend himself.
"Huh?"
Bah~
Another powerful blow made Xie Yu's eyes darken and he didn't know anything anymore.
Just when Xie Yu was about to fall to the ground, the old woman picked her up and put her on her shoulders.
The dull eyes looked at Xie Yu's delicate little face with slight surprise. His hands quickly moved around the joints of Xie Yu's body, and then, mumbling to himself, he moved back, not knowing when to open it.
Go to the window.
"This girl is not bad, she is suitable to be my old wife's successor..."
···
Boom~
Wei Cheng fired two shots in a row, but he couldn't keep up with the swordsman's dodge and move speed.
It's not that he really can't hit anyone, but there are still people around the square at this time. If he is not careful, he can easily hurt people.
Wei Cheng had to see that there was no one else in the shooting path before he dared to shoot.
"Sir, please leave it to us."
Xu Huang also discovered Wei Cheng's difficulties and walked directly to Wei Cheng, stopping him from shooting.
He was afraid that Wei Cheng would act impulsively and go on a killing spree regardless of the consequences.
Wei Cheng looked helplessly at the swordsman in the distance,
He said in a deep voice: "We must capture him alive. Regardless of whether what he just said is true or false, we must not kill him before we are sure of Yu'er's safety."
Xu Huang raised the Pangu ax, cupped his fists and saluted, "Don't worry, sir, we will capture this thief alive."
At this time, Zhang Fei and others had also changed into the uniforms of the city guard, and they also had a killing stick in their hands.
Xu Huang led everyone forward slowly and directly surrounded the swordsman. He did not dare to be careless. When the swordsman instantly killed Xu Chu and Dian Wei, although he stood far away and could not see clearly, he was still frightened.
The sword in the swordsman's hand tapped lightly on the ground, as if he was ready to break out of the siege.
But at this moment.
"Wait a minute."
The swordsman who had returned his sword with a fierce spirit one moment dropped his sword in the next second, opened his hands, and put them behind his back like a bachelor. "Please be gentle, please."
Xu Huang frowned slightly, fearing that he might have some conspiracy, so he motioned to Zhang Fei and others to go up with ropes, while he watched the swordsman's every move vigilantly.
However, the swordsman seemed to have accepted his fate. He did not resist at all and allowed Zhang Fei to tie him up.
At this time, Wei Cheng also came over.
Looking at the slovenly look on the swordsman's face and his messy hair like a bird's nest, he frowned and said, "Who asked you to kill me?"
The swordsman's expression changed, but he returned to his lazy look again.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Zhang Fei didn't have such a good temper, so he punched the swordsman directly on the bridge of his nose. In an instant, blood flowed out and broken teeth flew.
The swordsman lowered his head in pain, his saliva and tears mixed with blood, and soon stained the blue bricks on the ground red.
"Tell me, who ordered this?" Xu Huang grabbed the swordsman's messy hair and raised his head.
There was blood constantly leaving the swordsman's mouth and nose, and the bridge of his nose collapsed, but he suddenly laughed.
"One, a savior...poof..."
Perhaps because he was choked by the blood, the swordsman vomited out a mouthful of blood in pain, which was also mixed with two broken teeth.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly, looked at the swordsman's appearance, and said in a deep voice: "You must have been forced to have no choice."
The swordsman was startled when he heard this and raised his eyes to look at Wei Cheng, as if he had seen something incredible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Cheng said bluntly: "With your means, you can seal your throat with a sword within seven steps, but you chose the near and sought the far. You stopped me all the way, instead of
Disguise yourself as a guest, take advantage of my surprise, and kill me with one blow."
A trace of confusion flashed across the swordsman's godless eyes.
Wei Cheng looked at him and said solemnly: "But you killed two of me after all. According to the laws of the city, murder must be paid with life."
The swordsman's expression dimmed, but he seemed to have found a way to free himself, and smiled sadly.
There was silence for a while.
The swordsman raised his head and said, "Please take my sword and go to Yangliu Alley in the south of the city. Go into the third small courtyard on the right to save people. If you go now, it may still be too late."
Wei Cheng clenched his fists and was about to speak.
Bang!
"Xie Jin, the sword tyrant, didn't expect you to be from a noble family?"
"Zhai Shiniang, you are so brave, you even dare to kidnap my niece!"
Everyone looked at the vegetable stall that had been blown away, and saw an old woman lying on the ground, and a woman in red lying next to her.
The person who was chasing after the old woman was none other than the Xie family's ninth uncle, Xie Jin, the sword tyrant.
Xie Jin jumped down from the eaves and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of people looking towards him.
"Uh, Cheng'er, you guys?"
Xie Jin was looking confused when the old woman suddenly shouted: "Son, it's not easy for the old woman to find a successor. Please stop him quickly and cover the old woman. I'll leave first."
Hearing this, Xie Jin looked at the swordsman with blood on his face, paused, frowned and said, "Are you...Brother Wang?"
Wang Yue, the swordsman, was startled when he saw Xie Jin, "Brother Xie, what are you doing?"
Xie Jintu
Ran seemed to know something. He pointed the broken knife at Wang Yue and shouted in a deep voice: "***, I treat you as a brother, but you are cooperating with this old woman to kidnap my niece. What are your intentions?"
Wang Yue also looked confused. He looked at Xie Jin, then at the woman in red lying on the ground, and finally at the old woman. Obviously, he didn't know anything.
The old woman didn't give up, so she stepped forward and hugged the woman in red. After checking her, she said thankfully, "Fortunately, my precious disciple was not hurt."
at this time.
Boom!
"ah……"
The old woman wanted to pick up Xie Yu who was on the ground, but unexpectedly she was shot directly in the shoulder, and a large amount of blood mist sprayed out.
"Old woman!"
"Zhai Shiniang!"
The former voice was from Wang Yue, and the latter voice was from Xie Jin. Both of them had the same frightened expression.
Wei Cheng didn't care so much and looked at Xu Huang and others with a cold face. The latter immediately understood and forced the old woman back with the Pangu ax.
By the time the old woman came to her senses, she had been easily restrained by several people and watched helplessly as Wei Cheng picked up his precious apprentice.
"No, you can't take her away. She is my precious apprentice and the successor of my Zhai Shiniang."
Wei Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to this crazy woman, and said solemnly: "Take her to the dungeon and lock her up first, and ask who sent them to assassinate her."
This time Wei Cheng was really angry.
Not only assassinating himself, but also attacking his own family. Looking at Xie Yu who frowned slightly in his arms, Wei Cheng took a deep breath of self-reproach.
"No matter who is behind the scenes, I will make him pay ten times or a hundred times the price."
"yes."
Wei Gong didn't know when he appeared. Hearing Wei Cheng's order, he accepted it.

···
An alley entrance not far from the square.
Shopkeeper Wang had a panoramic view of everything that happened in the square, and his old body seemed to be a little more rickety all of a sudden.
Ergou, the boy who was supporting him, suddenly whispered: "My boss, that old woman, I seem to have seen it somewhere. Oh, by the way, she often came to our store to buy cloth before, and she's still at the fourth pillar.
Write and draw."
Shopkeeper Wang frowned slightly, looking at the boy beside him who was talking to himself, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
The boy didn't know that he was being taken care of, so he still said innocently: "Master, I didn't expect you to be so careless in your work. That old woman comes to the store every day, and she doesn't know how many people have seen her. You think so?"
Bar?"
Shopkeeper Wang frowned and was about to speak.
Poof!
The boy didn't know when a dagger appeared in his hand, and it was inserted directly into the back of Shopkeeper Wang's heart.
"you you……"
The boy covered Shopkeeper Wang's mouth with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "The Lord said that this matter cannot be involved with him, otherwise it will affect the next plan, and we can only wrong Shopkeeper Wang. Who can let him do it?"
You are so careless in your work."
Wait until Shopkeeper Wang loses his breath.
The boy Ergou threw the man into the ditch beside him and carefully used several wooden barrels to block it.
After processing, he raised his eyes to look at the old woman and Wang Yue who were being escorted away by the city guards. The seemingly innocent young man's face suddenly became a little more serious.
"You'd better not say anything you shouldn't say, otherwise..."
After being silent for a while, he looked at Wei Gong in the distance with a fearful look on his face, because many of his men had been discovered by Wei Gong and killed. There were no more than ten spies still walking in Anyi.
indivual.
"We have to find a way to deal with these two people as soon as possible. It's okay for Wang Yue, but that old woman doesn't have so many rules. She may reveal the identity of the Lord at any time... Oh, it's so troublesome..."
···
Wei Mansion.
When they learned that Wei Cheng had been blocked and assassinated, Wei's people were furious and then sent people to blockade the whole city.
Once again, the whole city was searched. Those who refused to cooperate were taken directly to the dungeon. Those who dared to resist were
He was killed without mercy and the whole city was in uproar for a while.
When Wei Cheng came to Dongyuan with Xie Yu in his arms, Zhang Zhongjing and several female medical servants had been waiting for him for a long time.
With a gloomy expression, Wei Cheng gently placed Xie Yu on the soft couch and said to Cai Yan and his daughters, "I will leave Yu'er to your care."
Cai Yan and the other girls' eyes were red, and they checked Wei Cheng up and down. They felt relieved when they saw that he was not injured.
Wei Cheng, on the other hand, was focused on feeling Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who didn't know whether they were alive or dead in the space. He turned back to Zhang Zhongjing and said, "Teacher, please immediately send someone to prepare a sterile room."
Zhang Zhongjing agreed. The so-called sterile room is actually a bedroom that has been cleaned with alcohol and disinfectant. Wei Cheng has told him this concept several times, otherwise he would not understand it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yan'er, I want to go into seclusion immediately. If you need anything, please wait until I get out of seclusion."
"Also, during my retreat, no one can make noise outside or interrupt me. Remember that."
When Wei Cheng's consciousness moves in the space, he can still feel the sounds and movements of the outside world.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu had their aorta cut open by Wang Yue's sword, and a large amount of blood spurted out on the spot. It was certain that they lost too much blood, but they could still be saved. They only needed to get their blood types, and then obtain blood packs and surgery.
Just use medical equipment.
That's right, Wei Cheng wanted to perform the surgery himself. In space, everything was still. He could rely on this plug-in to sew up the wounds of the two people, bandage them, and then place them in a sterile room for recuperation.
The biggest problem right now is that he has no relevant surgical experience, so he must go back to modern time and space to learn some.
At the same time, we must find ways to obtain blood and medical equipment.
The domestic management of this aspect is very strict, and it seems that I can only go abroad again.
After Wei Cheng finished his instructions, he walked straight towards the small warehouse.
"Son!"
Wei Cheng paused and looked at Xu Ding and Dian Wei's wives and children who were rushing over.
Xu Ding looked like he was hesitating to speak, while Dian Wei's wife and children were already kneeling on the ground, "Please save my husband (my father), sir."
Wei Cheng stretched out his hand to support her and comforted her: "Don't worry, both of them will be fine."
Wei Cheng looked at Xu Ding and said, "Bo Yan, please send someone to send them back first. These days are very important. I can't be disturbed by anyone. I will send someone to surround this place later. There shouldn't be any noise on weekdays."
,otherwise……"
Xu Ding bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will be here personally to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
