[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

Bingley is a nice gentleman who doesn't like to think of people in the wrong way. Even with his personality, it was the first time the two met after Wickham dropped out of university. Something is wrong.If in the past he was only indulging in lust, then Wickham now has eyes like a vicious dog, but what he wants is not flesh and bones, what he wants is the life of his former friend.

He began to worry about Darcy's safety. A duel between gentlemen is a fight for honor, but what if you pick an opponent who doesn't care about honor at all?Bingley originally disapproved of Darcy's participation in the duel when he was invited to be the referee, but he has always followed Darcy's lead, and he could not give very strong reasons for objecting. Could it be said that Wickham is a morally corrupt scum who would dirty Darcy's sword?

No, Bingley is not that kind of person.

In matters like a duel, unless it is really a bloody feud, both sides will always leave some leeway after the impulsiveness, so that they will not be unable to step down in the end, and they can still save their lives.The high casualty rate in duels is also related to the backward medical conditions.George III reigned for more than 50 years, there were nearly 20.00 duels, [-]% of the people were killed, and nearly [-] people were injured, most of which were seriously injured.

The probability of death and maiming was so high that dueling parties sometimes did not even load bullets, and it was logical to shake hands and make peace.Darcy chose to use the sword because he wanted to have a real fight and didn't want Wickham to win by chance.On the other hand, Wickham may have accepted Darcy's challenge at the beginning because it was difficult to get off the tiger, but now he has figured it out, why not take Darcy's life logically?

This duel obviously didn't smell of gunpowder, but it was already bloody.Bingley may still be thinking about how to get the two parties to find a way to get down, but the two parties in the duel have long since died.

Bingley also wanted to try his best to save possible casualties: "I propose that the duel should be terminated as soon as one side is injured."

Generally, there are three termination signals in a duel, one party is injured, one party is seriously injured, or one party is fatally injured. Usually, a firearms duel will be relatively fast. The two sides shoot at each other until one party falls.If he chooses firearms, Wickham, as the challenged, has the priority to strike, but he dare not bet his accuracy and life.

Fighting with swords will take a long time, but the chance of being fatal is not high.

Darcy said without hesitation: "I choose mortal wounds."

He really wanted Wickham to die.

Obviously, Wickham did not expect Darcy to be so determined. He may not have good intentions, but he understands the ridiculous sense of honor in Darcy's heart. This is the key to Darcy's fatality, because he can't do black hands.This true gentleman, recognized by friends and foes alike, is now saying he must kill himself, Wickham thought, but as long as he clings to those ridiculous sense of morality and pointless insistence, he will not be able to do anything about himself.

"Oh, Darcy," Wickham said sarcastically, "that's how you treat your friends you grew up with?"

But Darcy signaled Fitzwilliam to hand him the sword: "I don't remember any scum like you among my friends."

The boat of friendship is overturned.

Not to be outdone, Wickham said, "Let's do it."

"Wait," Dr. Brown, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I have a suggestion that can increase the survival rate of the two of you."

The referee Bingley immediately signaled everyone to listen carefully to Dr. Brown's explanation.

Darcy had no choice but to put down the sword embarrassingly.

"After the injury, I mean that if one party is injured, the clothes on the body can easily bring dirty things into the wound. Although this view has not been proven, based on my many years of medical practice experience, this is the cause of many patients' wound infections and even death. Root cause." He cleared his throat, "I suggest you take off your shirts before dueling."

Danny asked stupidly: "What if the injury is on the thigh? Do I need to take off my pants?"

Wickham glared at him. It would be a shame that no gentleman could stand upright when he took off his trousers.

Mr. Danny, who was inexplicably despised, felt very wronged. When Wickham persuaded himself to be the deputy, his attitude was both patient and kind. How could the boat of friendship capsize?

Annie poked Elizabeth with her elbow: "Don't pray, Miss Elizabeth, use the binoculars to look at those men!"

God's blessing!

Elizabeth was just trying to pray for Darcy's safety as a routine, but now she hastily crossed herself on her chest, picked up the binoculars and looked there, and the two protagonists of the duel began to undress.Although Wickham stayed in the military camp, he often flattered and opportunistic. Even though he was young, he already had signs of fat on his body.But Mr. Darcy was beyond the audience's expectations. He was far stronger than Wickham, and his muscles were not exaggerated, but he could be seen to have been exercising.

"I really can't see that Cousin Darcy looks thin in clothes and fleshy in clothes." Miss Anne was amazed: "It would be great if the deputy also took off his clothes."

If Colonel Fitzwilliam takes off his clothes, it means that Darcy has lost to Wickham and needs the help of the colonel, which is not what Elizabeth likes to see.

Darcy tossed off the pocket of his white shirt and threw it on the ground in displeasure, and took off the two suspenders and stuffed them into his trousers.It would be a lie to say that there was no nervousness or fear in my heart. The sun had not risen completely, and the forest was shaded. The wind blew towards the duel field, blowing on the cold sweat on Darcy's vest, making it feel chilly to the bones.

It was so cold that his mind was clearer than ever.

Wickham also took off his upper body uniform, and took a sword from Danny.

The two faced each other and stood on the left side of each other, so that they could quickly draw their swords with their right hands. Bingley waved the handkerchief for the first time, and the two put their hands on the hilt of the sword. Annie touched Annie's arm. This movement was completely unconscious. Annie couldn't bear to cry out in pain. Even she felt it. Elizabeth was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.

Bingley swallowed, then waved the handkerchief a second time.

Darcy followed Bingley's action and drew his sword, skillfully and smoothly. If the normal progress was followed, Wickham should also draw his sword at this time, and the two should fight hand to hand.No one thought that Wickham would be so weak that he was half a beat behind, allowing Darcy's sword to swing towards him unimpeded. Although he subconsciously turned to avoid the sharp blade, the bridge of his nose was hit hard by the blade .

Wickham yelped in pain and knelt down on the ground. He felt that the bridge of his nose had been broken, and the flesh on his nose could be turned out with his fingers. Even if Dr. Brown was rejuvenated, Wickham would already be disfigured .

From his professional point of view, this scar will occupy the center of Wickham's face and follow him for the rest of his life.

Darcy was a little hesitant. He imagined that Wickham's skill would be weaker than his own. Yes, he was so confident. He had courses such as horse riding and swordsmanship in his gentleman education since he was a child. Old Mr. Darcy gave Wickham the same skills as his own son. However, Wickham completely failed his hopes.It is a joke to say that Darcy, who has studied hard for more than 20 years, will lose to Wickham.

And Darcy also obeyed his hobbies, paid for boxing lessons, and did not neglect to practice after college.At this time, Britain has produced the prototype of modern boxing. Boxing is no longer a barbaric fight. In addition to not wearing boxing gloves, the new fashionable courses have also begun to pursue the strength, speed and angle of punching. The fencing tradition of the two can be integrated with each other.

Wei Han's sloppy swordsmanship is naturally the reason for his unfavorable start, and relatively speaking, Darcy's swordsmanship is also very good.

Bingley hesitated, wondering whether to stop, Wickham's nose was bleeding profusely, but the nose was not at all serious.

Finding that the opponent's swordsmanship is so superb, Wickham unconsciously recalled riding a horse when he was young. Obviously, the same teacher started to learn at the same time, and even the horse under his crotch was the same breed.Ma's child, he just can't catch up with Darcy.

Wickham told himself that old Mr. Darcy must have lied to him, that Darcy's horse was indeed of champion blood, and that his own horse must be a useless beast unhooked from the carriage of the manor.

Comfort yourself in this way, the one who made the mistake is someone else.

Now the reality is so cruel, not to mention firearms, just using a sword, Wickham feels that his life is in danger.

He threw aside the unsheathed sword, and Darcy hesitated, throwing his own too, for he would not point the sharp edge at a defenseless man.After Dr. Bran bandaged Wickham briefly, Wickham felt that his nose was no longer bleeding. He waved his fist and rushed towards Darcy. Like the drunks fighting each other, he might still have a chance of winning.

But soon he preferred that he never dropped the sword.

Because Darcy's fist was too powerful, he might have turned his knuckles blue when he beat Wickham unilaterally, but this was nothing compared to Wickham's tragic experience.Wickham's injured nose was cracked again, and the blood seeped through the bandaged gauze, rushing out.As an officer, Wickham would never end up on his own. At most, he watched those soldiers from poor backgrounds being beaten terribly by fists when they were punished by regulations.

The life of an officer is very comfortable, obviously a bit too comfortable.

In order to avoid Darcy's fast and powerful fist, Wickham almost rolled on the ground to avoid embarrassment.When the fight was inextricable, Darcy would also encounter Wickham's desperate resistance. In addition to the bruises, there were also bloodstains scratched by the branches, but Wickham was already covered in blood. Supporting him, he had no reason to beg for mercy and admit defeat. On Danny's waist.

Seeing that Wickham and Darcy had already fought in front of his eyes, and it was a one-sided situation, Danny could hardly bear to watch it, but there was no deputy on the field who could help.Wickham had rolled to his feet, and Danny almost thought Wickham was going to hide behind him.

Little did he expect that Mr. Wickham, who couldn't pull out a sword, pulled out that terrible thing from his waist as quickly as lightning this time.

Wickham had had enough, he didn't want to do this.Even if it is a duel where the two parties signed the book of life and death, after agreeing to fight with swords or even fists, the result of him attacking Darcy with a firearm will be very serious. For example, Darcy will die, and he will be charged with murder because of the duel in the upper class No.1.

But it's not his fault, it's Darcy's bullying too much, he is about to be beaten to death.

Wickham aimed at Darcy and pulled the trigger.
