Chapter 32 Surgery
"The first thing we need to do now is to cut off the arrowhead in the Marquis' body and take it out!"

In the mansion of Marquis Fu'an, Doctor Fan expressed his dilemma.

Although the feather arrow shot into Zhu Chengwu's chest and penetrated his chest cavity.

But there was only a small arrow exposed in the middle of the back.

Because of the barb, to remove the feather arrow, you can only cut off the arrowhead, but only a small part of the arrowhead is exposed.

Although the wound on Marquis Fu'an's back could be enlarged to facilitate the removal of the arrow, it would be best not to make the cut too large, otherwise it would be difficult to sew and heal later.

Moreover, because the arrow pierced through the chest cavity, the arrow must not be allowed to shake too much when cutting off the arrowhead to avoid causing secondary damage to Marquis Fu'an's internal organs.

This requires that the person who cuts off the arrow must have sufficiently high control.

Although Doctor Fan studied under the Imperial Hospital and was familiar with many magical skills and secret techniques, his own martial arts skills were completely mediocre, and surgery was not his forte.

He couldn't meet this requirement.

“The person who cuts off the arrow had better be strong, and the knife he uses must be sharp enough!
Only in this way can we cut off the arrow as quickly as possible and minimize the secondary damage to the Marquis!"

Dr. Fan’s words speak for themselves.

He cannot meet this condition, so this person needs spring flowers and summer rain to find him.

In other words, spring flowers and summer rain come on their own.

After all, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that the four close attendants all had martial arts skills and were quite powerful.

"Let me do it! My sword is the Thousand Forged Sword given by the Marquis, it should be enough!"

Chunhua took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said.

"it is good!

Come, bring a brazier and a jar of strong liquor to disinfect Miss Chunhua's sword!"

Doctor Fan nodded and then instructed the guard beside him.

The Ming Dynasty already had the concepts of infection and disinfection.

"Yes!"

A guard hurried out to get ready.

"and many more!
Chunhua, your sword is too long and difficult to control.

I remember that there is a Yuchang dagger in the treasury of the Marquis's mansion that was sent by the master of the Marquis's mother's family. Let someone find Uncle Zhang and bring the Yuchang dagger over!"

Xia Yu suggested.

"Fish intestine dagger?
That is a sword famous throughout the world.

Extremely sharp!

If you have the Yuchang sword, that would be the best!"

Doctor Fan looked at Xia Yu in surprise. He didn't even know that there was a Yuchang sword in the treasury.

But considering the identity of Lord Xia Yu's close attendant, Doctor Fan was not surprised at all!

When Chunhua heard this, she frowned.

Chunhua also didn't know about the Yuchang dagger.

This information that Xia Yu knew alone made Chunhua more alert.

But looking at Zhu Chengwu lying unconscious on the bed, Chunhua forced herself to suppress her thoughts.

Although the Yuchang sword is very important, it cannot be used without Zhu Chengwu's order under normal circumstances.

But Old Zhang, who guards the warehouse, is not a rigid person.

There was no farce that in order to use the Yuchang dagger to save Zhu Chengwu, there had to be Zhu Chengwu's order first!

This is better than Zhu Chengwu's previous life.

The Yuchang dagger was obtained, and charcoal fire and strong liquor were also brought to the Hou Mansion by the guards.

After disinfecting the fish intestine dagger, all that’s left is to take action.

Looking at Zhu Chengwu's bloody wound, Chunhua suppressed her inner trembling and cut the wound bit by bit.

This matter is just like the surgical operation Zhu Chengwu had in his previous life, it can’t be done quickly!
Do it bit by bit!

Prevent the arrow from being subjected to strong impact and vibration, which would cause secondary damage to Zhu Chengwu's internal organs.

One breath, two breaths...

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...

Slowly, Chunhua finally cut off the arrow head.

Everything went smoothly without any surprises.

"All right!"

Doctor Fan exclaimed in surprise.

This was the first time that Chunhua performed this type of surgery, and her performance was better than Dr. Fan expected.

Although it takes a lot of time.

But slow work produces fine work!
Hearing Doctor Fan's surprised cry, Chunhua let out a breath and slowly put down the Yuchang dagger in her hand.

Just as she was about to turn around, Chunhua realized that her legs had become numb due to prolonged tension.

The hand that put down the Yuchang dagger was shaking involuntarily.

The clothes were soaked with sweat that had appeared at some point in time.

"Fortunately, my hands didn't shake when I was cutting the arrow just now!" Chunhua secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"Well, my Lord, you have passed the most difficult stage!
Next, I will give you acupuncture to treat your internal injuries!

If nothing unexpected happens, the Marquis will wake up tonight or tomorrow morning!"

Doctor Fan's words made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Chengwu is the backbone of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion. All of them are vested interests of the Mansion and are deeply bound to the Mansion. No one wants to see Zhu Chengwu get into an accident.

"Miss Chunhua, Miss Xiayu, the Xuzhou government office and the Xuzhou county government office have sent people here, and they are waiting in the living room now...

In addition, the people who came from the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Martial Arts Alliance, the Black Tiger Gang, the Small Knife Sect and other forces have not left yet.

Look, who among you would like to go and see him?"

At this moment, a servant who appeared outside the door at some point in time reported through the door.

In fact, the servant had come several times, but because Chunhua's "surgical operation" had not been completed and Doctor Fan had not determined that Zhu Chengwu was out of danger, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

Now the arrow in Zhu Chengwu's chest was successfully removed and Zhu Chengwu was out of danger. The guards then allowed the servant to report.

"I'll go!"

Xia Yu looked at Chunhua, whose hands and feet were still trembling after she had just completed a "surgery", and said so.

"Captain Sun, County Lieutenant Liu, Gang Leader Qiu... I'm so sorry for not welcoming you all in person. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

When Xia Yu arrived at the reception room, he saw that many people in the room seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting.

Some people were whispering with people they knew, some were walking around rubbing their hands, and some were chugging tea...

Of course, there were still some people who remained calm and sat upright in their seats without moving.

"Miss Xia Yu, you are finally here! I heard that the Marquis was assassinated, which scared me so much that I immediately put down my gang affairs and came to visit the Marquis's mansion. I wonder if the Marquis is okay?"

Seeing Xia Yu appear, the leader of the Xiaodao Gang, Qiu, was the first to step forward and asked in a flattering tone.

"Yes, Miss Xia Yu, is the Marquis seriously injured? Should we go in and take a look..."

The others also hurried over, waiting for Xia Yu's reply.

When a goose passes, it leaves a trace; when an incident happens, it leaves a trace!
Moreover, Zhu Chengwu’s assassination took place at the gate of Xuzhou City.

A lot of people saw it!

After receiving the report from the city gate guard, the Xuzhou prefectural government and county government took action one after another.

As long as they paid a little attention, they would know that Zhu Chengwu was injured. All the big and small forces in Xuzhou City could not hide it.

Having been enfeoffed for nearly ten years, the Fu'an Marquisate had already become an influential force in Xuzhou City.

After Zhu Chengwu was attacked and killed, other large and small forces in Xuzhou City naturally came to express their concern, and also to gather intelligence.

Let's see if Zhu Chengwu was seriously injured? Why was he assassinated? Who assassinated him?

Of course, another reason is to express an attitude.

I came to see you openly and without any guilt. The attack was definitely not done by me!

"Boss Qiu, everyone, thank you for your concern!
Although he was attacked by bad guys, the Marquis is very strong and is now fine!

But I still need to practice my internal energy to heal my injuries, so I am unable to receive you at the moment!

I will convey your concerns to the Marquis.

Everyone, please go back first! "Zhu Chengwu spends most of his time practicing martial arts. Although he has an external affairs office to handle the mundane affairs of the mansion, the four maids also take on a lot of the work of welcoming and seeing off guests.

Xia Yu is very familiar with this.

"Miss Xia Yu, let's go visit the Marquis and show our concern!"

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Gang Leader Qiu spoke again with the encouragement from others.

Xia Yu looked at Gang Leader Qiu in front of him with displeasure.

"Boss Qiu, I've already said that the Marquis needs to practice Qigong to heal his injuries. It's not convenient for him to see you now. I will convey your concern and regards!"

But in the end, Xia Yu reluctantly repeated what he had just said.

Don't judge by the monk, but by the Buddha. The deputy leader Qiu of the Xiaodao Gang in front of him is Qiuyue's biological father, who is also one of the four close attendants.

It was just like how Xia Yu was just a maid, but because of Marquis Fu'an, she was looked up to by all the big and small forces in Xuzhou City.

Because of Qiuyue, Xia Yu also needs to be more patient with Qiu, the deputy leader of the Xiaodao Gang.

"Can…"

Deputy Chief Qiu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xia Yu, "Everyone, please cooperate with the government and county government to find the criminals who secretly attacked the Marquis as soon as possible!

Instead of waiting here to visit the Marquis, you should find the villain in the dark as soon as possible. This will be good to the Marquis and loyal to the court!

Xia Yu is here to ask for help from everyone!

At the end, Xia Yu bowed and saluted to everyone present.

"Miss Xia Yu, you're too polite!"

"We will do our best!"

Everyone in the living room looked at each other, and finally they could only clasp their fists to express their opinions.

At this point, Xia Yu signaled to the servant who was serving tea and water that it was time to send the guests away!
……

"Miss Xia Yu, you must remember to tell the Marquis a message. I, Old Qiu, came here as soon as I heard the news that the Marquis was assassinated. I was also the first one to arrive at the Marquis's mansion! The first one!"

Deputy Gang Leader Qiu stayed until the end.

Before leaving, he kept chattering to Xia Yu.

"Boss Qiu, please!"

The servant again extended his hand to see the guest off.

Finally, Deputy Gang Leader Qiu finally left the Hou Mansion, looking back every few steps.

"Miss Xia Yu, please be sure to deliver this message to the Marquis!"

Outside the gate of Hou Mansion, Deputy Gang Leader Qiu turned around again and shouted to Xia Yu whose figure could still be seen.

Xia Yu responded with a smile.

After finally seeing everyone off, Xia Yu immediately put away the smile on his face.

Xia Yu’s face was almost frozen from laughing!
Fortunately, Xia Yu had been through many trials and tribulations, and practice makes perfect, so he finally persevered.

"These old foxes pushed Qiuyue's father to the front and hid in the dark to test him. They are really difficult to deal with!"

Xia Yu cursed inwardly.

……

In a hidden room, several people who had left Fu'an Marquis Mansion sat together again.

"That little girl from the Fu'an Marquis's Mansion is really hard to deal with!
It always prevents us from further determining the status of Marquis Fu'an!
She also used words to control us, and we had no choice but to cooperate with the prefectural and county governments to search for the people who assassinated Marquis Fu'an!
Also, Gang Leader Qiu is useless!

With so many of us supporting him, he doesn’t dare to confront Xia Yu!
His daughter is also a close attendant of Marquis Fu'an. Logically speaking, he is Xia Yu's elder!

But the words are so flattering!
I am ashamed to be associated with this person!"

Among the few people, some sounded indignant.

"Okay, okay, you know that Boss Qiu relied on his daughter to get to the top, and he himself has no real ability!
Why bother getting angry with him!

As for cooperating with the government and county offices, just send a few people over to show your support! No need to take it too seriously!
The girl from Marquis Fu'an's mansion is too young and inexperienced. The fact that she stopped us from seeing Marquis Fu'an already explains a lot of problems.

The injury suffered by Marquis Fu'an this time must have been serious!
Whether he can appear in front of us again may be a question mark. "

Someone answered.

This person saw with his own eyes when Zhu Chengwu was escorted back home.

Not only did we see the nervous expressions of the guards at Fu'an Marquis's mansion at that time, we also saw the feather arrow that was stuck in Fu'an Marquis's body.

He knew very well that the injury suffered by Marquis Fu'an this time was definitely not light.

I just don't know how heavy it is!

This visit was more of a test than a concern.

However, although Marquis Fu'an was not seen during this test, his maidservant always stopped everyone from seeing him, which explains the problem to a certain extent.

"But if Marquis Fu'an is not seriously injured and wakes up to find that we have been perfunctory... that would be no joke!"

Someone questioned.

In recent years, the Fu'an Marquisate has become increasingly powerful. They have used battles and struggles to prove that the Fu'an Marquisate must not be underestimated or humiliated.

"Do you really think the government office or county office can find the attacker in secret?"

Some people said disdainfully.

“I went to the city wall and saw that the person who secretly attacked Marquis Fu’an was at least a first-rate archer!
There are only two such people in our Xuzhou city. One is the one from Li Mansion, and the other is Commander Huang in the garrison outside the city.

Which of these two is easy to get along with? Which one can't easily come up with countless alibis!
Of course, it may not be those two, but an outsider!
But even if he is an outsider, would a first-class archer have no background?

How could it be easy for someone who dared to assassinate Marquis Fu'an to deal with it?

Was the attacker so easy to catch?

In my opinion, the government and county governments are ultimately doing useless work.

Since we can’t catch him, who knows how many people we sent and whether we tried our best?
And have you ever considered whether capturing a top-notch archer whose background you don't know will offend people you cannot afford to offend?
How long will it take us, and how many things will it delay?
Even if we finally find the assassin, how many of our men will be killed or injured in order to capture and kill a top-notch archer?

The government and county governments will definitely use our people as cannon fodder!
In short, assisting the government and county yamen in catching the assassin is totally not worth it for us!"

The speaker went on to add.

"That makes sense!"

"As expected, you are the one who sees things most clearly!"

After a brief silence, others began to praise.

They don't want to use their own power to work for Marquis Fu'an.

Isn't the reason they gathered here because they already have a tendency and decision in their hearts?

Now we are just relying on conversations and discussions with each other to strengthen each other's confidence!
After all, the law does not punish everyone!
There is courage in numbers!

"Old Xu, why don't you speak?"

Someone noticed the old man who kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"nothing?"

Old Xu looked up and smiled.

"Old Xu, you are being boring!

We are all friends, is there anything that cannot be spoken openly? "

Someone said unhappily.

“I wonder if the group of people outside the city succeeded!

Do we still have a chance...

If Marquis Fu'an really can't wake up, and most of the high-ranking officials in the Marquis's mansion are not here, can we..."

Old Xu said something shocking.

He never stops until he says something shocking!
This secluded place fell into silence.

No one expected that Lao Xu was actually thinking about these things!

I didn't expect that Lao Xu was so brave!

However, after calming down, everyone felt that it was not out of the question...

After all, if not to mention anything else, the magical book alone is enough to make people excited!
The magic book is extremely precious, it is the "nuclear weapon formula" of this world!
How precious is it?

Let’s put it this way!

Even in a big city like Xuzhou, there are no more than three forces in the city that have inherited the magical skills book.

Among them, only the Fu'an Marquis Mansion has clearly inherited the magical skills manual.

Others, including the Li family, are suspected of inheriting the magical skills!
None of the people and families present here have any magical skills or manuals hidden in their homes to bring good luck to the family.
