Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 19 The Lonely City by the Sea ([-])

The two walked along the way and looked at the scenery, stopping and stopping. After leaving Washington, Qiuxiang was free to see butterflies and wanted to catch them, and saw flowers and wanted to pick them.

"Where are we going next?" Qiuxiang said as she stuck a flower in Tang Bohu's bun.

"Go to my house." Holding Qiu Xiang's hand, Tang Bohu said: "You meet my parents, so you can recognize them."

"En!" Hearing this, Qiuxiang nodded and immediately became shy.

The two went all the way to Suzhou and another group of people was waiting at the gate of the city. When they walked in, it turned out to be Zhang Lin, the prefect of Suzhou. He seemed to know that Tang Bohu would come back early today and wait here early.

"Tang Yin, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Lin said, "I have prepared some drinks, please!"

Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang sat down, looking at the delicious food on the table, they were still vigilant. Although this Zhang Lin was not a bad person, he was not a good person in Tang Bohu's mind either, so he asked tentatively, "Can you tell Is that the real meaning of my letter? I think it’s just for a bid to recruit a son-in-law, and King Ning won’t want to take my life!”

"I can't say much." Zhang Lin poured wine for Tang Bohu and said, "I can only tell you that there is an invisible transaction between Washington and our Jiangnan officialdom. The lifeline of the officialdom, once this list is obtained by King Ning, King Ning can use it to blackmail the entire Jiangnan officialdom and help him accomplish his great cause! Fortunately, Tang Bohu, you have done a good job."

Just as he thought in his heart, Zhang Lin's answer was ambiguous. The magistrate still couldn't confide in him. Even though he knew the truth, he still wanted to try Zhang Lin's sincerity.

"I almost lost my life!" Tang Bohu took a sip of wine.

Qiuxiang also ate food on her own, and the two of them were indeed starving.

"You, Tang Bohu, have courage and luck!" Zhang Lin said with a wry smile, "However, our Jiangnan officialdom has done a lot to save you, at least to save your life!"

"Otherwise I might not be able to go to Suzhou!" Tang Bohu said.

"That's right!" Zhang Lin continued, "Of course it's a tactic to delay the attack in order to save you. The price is that our Jiangnan side admits that you have a marriage contract with Zhu Yun, which means that no matter what happens in the future, Zhu Yun will always be your woman. As for whether you marry or she will marry you, it depends on your fate in the future."

"What do you mean!"

Zhang Lin continued to explain: "Tang Yin, in order to save you, we have no choice but to accept this marriage! Although we took a step back, in order to keep the peace in Jiangnan, we had no choice but to make this plan to delay our efforts."

"A plan to delay the attack?" Tang Bohu was surprised.

Zhang Lin went on to explain: "You and Zhu Yun will definitely get married! You Tang Bohu can't avoid this, because our entire Jiangnan officialdom has recognized this marriage. In order to prevent King Ning from getting too involved in Jiangnan affairs, you Tang Bohu can no longer be a civil servant in this life, even if you go to take the imperial examination, our Jiangnan officials will no longer jointly recommend you, but will jointly destroy you."

Tang Bohu: "In order to protect yourselves, you will cut off my future on your own initiative?"

"This is a helpless move, and it's a win-win! I will take good care of your family. There is not only one path in life! Tang Bohu, you still have a chance, after all, there are others who also value you."

Listening to Zhang Lin's words, Tang Yin felt that his brain was getting heavier and heavier. Seeing that Qiuxiang sitting next to him had passed out, Tang Bohu gritted his teeth and said, "Did you put medicine in the food?"

Seeing Zhang Lin's smile, Tang Bohu completely lost consciousness.

Down's Tavern
Zhu Zhishan and Tang's father and Tang's mother explained that Tang Bohu was going to travel far away. It was not until Zhang Lin came to the tavern that Tang's father and Tang's mother really believed in Tang Bohu's long-distance travel, and Zhu Zhishan and others also knew that Tang Bohu was still alive. It's just that Tang Bohu's future after that will be very difficult.

Waking up from a coma, Tang Bohu opened his eyes and saw Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit. Looking more carefully, he saw Chen Guang, an acquaintance of Jin Yiwei's hundred households.

"Finally woke up." Chen Guang pointed to the official uniform of the Jinyiwei placed next to Tang Bohu and said, "From now on, you are the general banner of our Jinyiwei!"

"Jin Yiwei?" Tang Bohu's voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"You can no longer be a civil servant, but you can still be a military officer! I, Chen Guangjing, you are a bloody man, and I found you a job! You can't get the official position of Jin Yiwei no matter how many times you beat your head."

"Where's Qiu Xiang?"

"Young Master!" Qiu Xiang came into the room in a men's attire, "Young Master Tang, you are finally awake."

"Are you okay?" Tang Bohu looked at her face and said nervously.

"I'm fine!" Qiuxiang's expression was relieved to escape from Washington instead of worry.

After changing their clothes, Tang Bohu walked out of the room with Chen Guang and came to a military camp. It looked like a city that had just experienced war, and there were corpses and blood on the walls.

"The position of the General Banner was not given to me for nothing, right? I don't think I can object to your arrangement."

"The position is still vacant, so someone needs to fill it up. The name Tang Bohu has been registered in our Nanzhen Fusi Jinyiwei's military mansion. Except that the current emperor can remove you. You have been a Jinyiwei in this life, and you will die a Jinyiwei." The ghost." Chen Guang replied: "The Japanese pirates in this area are very rampant, and the previous Baihu was a stunned young man who died very quickly. I asked you to take his place to defend against the Japanese pirates."

"How many people do I have on hand?" Tang Bohu immediately realized the problem, defending against the Japanese pirates is going to make him fight, and then said: "If this city falls, the higher authorities will definitely blame it, but the general flag guarding this city is dead , if something goes wrong, the higher-ups must just put the blame on you, and in order to avoid eating this melon, you let me take the blame, right?"

Chen Guang smiled and said: "To be honest, you are too smart, so smart that I don't want you to die, but you still have less than [-] people on hand. I hope you can defend this city."

"How many pirates are there?"

"I don't know." Chen Guang looked at the dilapidated battlefield and said, "It must be more than a thousand."

"Hundreds versus thousands." Tang Bohu nodded and said, "Are you asking me to die?"

Chen Guang still smiled calmly: "If you can't defend this city, you will also be killed!"

"What if I keep it?" Tang Bohu said again.

Tang Bohu didn't answer, turned around and Chen Guang walked away step by step, leaving a sentence, "I'm leaving! I hope you can survive."

Tang Bohu swung his fist and hit the solid city wall, three hundred against thousands!This is the first time that Tang Bohu has a desire for power. Those guys who hold power can fiddle with their lives at will, leaving them with no choice.

"Young Tian San Ren Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, I have seen Tang Zongqi." Another soldier in the Jinyiwei uniform hurried over.

"Tian San!" Tang Bohu said this name, and the man in front of him was his subordinate in terms of official position, "Tell me, how many of us can guard this city."

"Your Excellency, come with me!" Tian San led Tang Bohu towards the city, towards the barracks.
