689. Chapter 689 There is more than one person hiding in peace
Sun Qian's arrival finally gave Qian Wubing the "sexually happy" life he had been away from for a long time, and also gave his little comfort to the Sifu to have a family atmosphere.
It has to be said that Sun Qian has done quite well in the profession of "hostess". Even before her, Mu Siniang and Zhu Yunniang both lived in the Xuanwei Envoy's Mansion.
Yes, but at that time, the Xuanwei Envoy's office and yamen meant much more than family, and because these two girls did not have a legitimate title, they could only appear here as public officials.
But when Sun Qian comes, it will be completely different. He is the legitimate wife of Qian. Even though she is the second wife, she is not the wife.
First, there were several family banquets, which firstly made everyone in Tamsui recognize this kind and kind Mrs. Qian. Secondly, this Xuanwei made the back office of the Sifu become the most high-end social circle in Tamsui City.
Place. Whether you are doing well in Tamsui City or not, in addition to the number and importance of your errands, there is another way to judge whether your mother-in-law is qualified to be invited to Mrs. Qian's family banquet.
Of course, even if you are invited, there is a big difference between being invited first and being invited later.
However, this kind of excitement was something Qian Wubing couldn't bear. He had never been a person who particularly liked excitement. He would not reject it if he mingled with his subordinates, but when he was with his subordinates' families, a group of
Yingying Yanyan was eating melon seeds and snacks, talking about some unreliable knowledge. This kind of thing should be left to the woman's family! If it weren't for Sun Qian, she would have asked him to show up and walk around at the banquet.
In order to show that he attaches great importance to these family members, he would rather hide in a corner of the city for peace and quiet.
Just like now, he hid directly in a tavern in the city.
Today's pubs in Tamsui are a combination of things. They include large counters and small tables in Western pubs, as well as small private rooms like Eastern restaurants. These are places where drinkers who like the excitement or who are short of money hang out, and these small rooms
A private room is for those guests with some status to eat, drink or discuss some private matters. Qian Wubing's place is a private room in this tavern. It is slightly separated by a screen, but it is not as good as the Daming Restaurant.
It's a kind of elegant room, but it still provides more protection than the tables and chairs outside the tavern.
Coming here was purely accidental, and I also had a headache because of the bustle in the mansion. Qian Wubing took a few people with him and took a walk. There were many people who knew him in the city, but mostly he was still standing in front of people in official uniform.
The way he looked when he was there, once he changed into civilian clothes, even like those mercenaries, he was dressed in fancy clothes and carrying a long knife that he didn't know where he got. This is not necessarily a person who is particularly familiar with him.
Dare to recognize him.
He just walked into the tavern with such great courage. Originally, he just wanted to sit down somewhere casually and listen to the gossip in the tavern. Bai Arowana obeyed on his own territory, which was also a kind of
What's very interesting is that he didn't think it was a private visit incognito, but just for fun.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw an acquaintance. As mentioned before, someone who is not too familiar with this outfit would not be able to recognize him. However, this person was very familiar with him, so he could not recognize him.
As for when she saw him entering the door, she was slightly startled, as if she didn't quite believe her eyes.
Qian Wubing also saw her and couldn't help but laugh. The dignified overseas Qianhusuo Qianhu, this figure in Tamsui City who would tremble when he stomped his feet, was actually dressed like a mercenary, hiding in this tavern and drinking.
, are you thinking about it with yourself?
"Guest, there's a place over here!" Seeing Qian Wubing walking towards that side, the kind-hearted bartender hurriedly said, that female mercenary looks pretty, but you didn't see that the bench next to him was broken.
Are you better? The two big men next to him are not vegetarians. None of them came to strike up a conversation, and neither of them ended well.
"I'll sit over here!" Qian Wubing waved his hand and pointed to Olivia's private room: "If you have delicious food and drink, take another one according to what's on her table!"
"That girl is not easy to mess with!" The bartender reminded him gently when he saw how generous he was.
"It's okay, we know each other!" Qian Wubing waved his hand and walked over with a smile. Qian Wubing had a vague impression of the big man next to Olivia, as if he was one of the two who followed Olivia in the mirror.
One of them, when the big man saw him walking directly towards him, he was also startled. Just as he was about to speak, he recognized him.
"Shut up!" Olivia said vaguely: "You guys go to the side, Qian and I will... talk!"
"How much have you drunk?" Qian Wubing saw the wine bottle on the table and laughed: "Is the wine here good? If you want to drink, go to me. Where can I buy good wine from the capital?
liquor!"
"What I drink is not wine!" Olivia muttered: "You don't understand, what I drink is this feeling. Since I followed you, I haven't had such a happy time in a pub for a long time. Where can I go with you?
Does it feel like drinking in a pub?”
"Yes!" Qian Wubing looked at the table. There really wasn't anything good on the table. There were just a few plates of beans, dried braised food and the like, which were the standard consumption of the mercenaries who spent time in this tavern.
"Why do you come to a place like this? You don't need the ladies who accompany you at home?" Olivia squinted at him, and she didn't know if it was because of her drunkenness. This was not like a subordinate speaking to him.
What the boss said. As for the distance between subordinates and bosses, Olivia has always managed it very well.
"It's so noisy!" Qian Wubing shook his head, picked up a bean from the plate, and put it into his mouth: "Finally, the Spaniards have calmed down a little bit, we should also relax a bit, right? We are always tense.
Life is so boring!"
"It has stopped!" After saying this, Olivia couldn't help but smile knowingly. The dark tavern seemed to become much brighter under this smile.
A few days ago, news came from Champa City that two Spanish warships that had escaped from Wang Yuyanjiu appeared inexplicably on the sea in Champa City. These two ships suffered such a big loss and were not honest.
After escaping back, they actually planned to seize the city. As a result, two hundred people were gathered ashore in two boats, and most of them were killed on the spot. The remaining people couldn't even sail the two boats, so they had to sail.
They walked away to escape, and the remaining ship had to sink itself in the sea outside Champa.
When the news came, Tamsui Shangxia, who had been worried about a large-scale invasion by the Spaniards, was speechless. He had seen people seeking death, but never seen someone seeking death like this. This could be considered a trick.
However, in this way, the worry that this Spanish fleet is the vanguard of the enemy's large fleet can be dispelled. If this small fleet is really the vanguard of the Spanish expeditionary fleet, then they will definitely not give it to them in the city.
As soon as this came out, although the prisoners had already known that this was a cruise fleet led by the fleet commander's son Leon, the true and false facts of the war could not be determined accurately by relying on the confessions of several prisoners.
This news from Champa City is far more reliable than the prisoners' confessions.
No one has played the trick to this extent. This can only prove that this is purely the initiative of Colonel Lyon, who led the team, and has nothing to do with the Spanish expeditionary fleet. After this loss, I am afraid that the Spanish expeditionary fleet will
The rest time has to be extended even further. For this reason, Tamsui City, which has been on tight alert, slowly relaxed.
At present, both sides are recuperating their strength. The Ming Dynasty is intensively recruiting naval soldiers and building new ships. The Spaniards are not idle either. After Lyon's clown-like commotion, both sides are
A reassuring "period of relative peace" has ushered in. Until they feel that they have enough power to eliminate the other party, both sides will probably not make any big moves for the time being.
"But when this person is free, he feels very empty in his heart!" Olivia looked at the wine bottle in her hand and whispered, "Sometimes I see a few of them, bustling and chattering.
I say I don’t like it, but I feel something indescribable in my heart!”
Qian Wubing remained silent and listened to her. He and Olivia had rarely had the opportunity to talk about each other's feelings in such detail.
"I am twenty-eight this year. In Ming Dynasty, there are no more unmarried girls at the age of twenty-eight!" Olivia tilted her head and looked at Qian Wubing: "Tell me, should I
Forget it, find someone to marry, so as not to see you all having a busy family while I am all alone!"
"Is there anyone you like?" Qian Wubing couldn't explain how he felt. He looked at Olivia's blushing cheeks and saw that it was this woman who entered his tent in the middle of the night. It was this woman who said she wouldn't pester him.
There must be women in the Ming Dynasty who are unmarried at the age of twenty-eight, but there may not be women who are unmarried at the age of twenty-eight and dare to love and hate like her.
"Yes!" Olivia nodded fiercely, her eyes moved, and she looked at Qian Wubing, but said nothing. However, Qian Wubing could understand a little bit of the taste of that glance.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and both of them stopped talking. Qian Wubing couldn't start a fight with him, and Olivia seemed to be ashamed for a moment. She still remembered what she said that day when she vowed not to be entangled with him anymore.
She said something unexpectedly, and she felt her face burning.
The person who broke the embarrassment came soon. In the commotion, the door of the tavern was opened with a crash. Two guys with bruises and swollen faces walked in the door surrounded by a strong man. At the door, the group of people looked around.
After a quick glance, I saw the two guys with bruises and swollen faces pointing towards Qian Wubing's table: "Boss, that stinky bitch..."
