Chapter 36: How Thin is the Face of Beauty

In the early morning, the fiery red sun hangs high in the sky like a blue waterfall, this era. There is no industrial pollution, and the natural environment is very good. Just like Xu Tian's mood today...

Xu Tian looked at the large pile of packaged gifts in front of him and was very satisfied. Turned around and ordered two teams of energetic strong men to carry them, and went straight to Zhang's mansion all the way, Xu Tian said. He will definitely be upright and graceful to marry Murong Hanyan.

Along the way, this huge salute team attracted the attention of many people. Speculation began, and even some curious people followed. I want to see which family gave the dowry, and there is such pomp. As you walk longer, more and more people follow. It's even bigger...

Outside Zhang's mansion, Zhang Quan stood at the gate with a smile on his face. Seeing the huge team coming over, he turned his head to the butler on the side and said:

"Let's get started!!"

The butler bowed his head and waved his hand. The subordinates who had been waiting on both sides for a long time lit the cannons at the same time, and with the sound of "crackling" cannons, the surrounding bands began to play. The sound of artillery, gongs and drums, the laughter of the crowd around them. Mixed together, there is quite a joyful look.

Xu Tian came to Zhang Quan, bowed his head and said:

"Big brother, brother, I'm here. This time, I came to the dowry in a dignified manner, didn't I embarrass my eldest brother, right? ”

Zhang Quanyi took Xu Tian's hand and said with emotion:

"Now, you're a marquis. I'm a big brother, don't you dare to be it!! ”

"My eldest brother is very kind to me, and he is Hanyan's brother. We are close to each other, you will always be my big brother!! ”

Xu Tian said sincerely, and the two laughed. Let's walk into Zhang's mansion.

On this day, Zhang's Mansion was unusually lively, and the lights were colorful. The banquet was held, and the house was full of laughter and laughter for a while. Xu Tian and Zhang Quan sat between the main hall, laughing and changing the cup...

Only Murong Hanyan, who had been in the house, did not have a trace of joy on her face, and she watched all this through the window. Godless's eyes have dimmed even more, since Zhang Quan came. Murong Hanyan has been closed, and she even hopes that Xu Tian will not come to her again. She wished he hadn't come and retracted his gaze. Murong Hanyan sighed again, and Zhang Quan seemed to be persuading her. is actually threatening her, all of Murong Hanyan's family members are taken care of by Zhang Quan on weekdays, and they also rely on Zhang Quan. Their family will have today's glory and wealth, she actually has no choice...

Murong Hanyan looked down at the black bottle in his hand and bit his lower lip. She made a decision on her own...

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu was kneeling opposite Cao Cao. was killing all sides on the chessboard, and Cao Cao dropped the sunspot in his hand. Raising his eyes and glancing at Xun Yu, he said quietly:

"This Xu Tian, what's the recent movement?!"

"Prime Minister, today, Xu Tian went to Zhang's family with a large number of dowries, it seems that he is going to marry the Miss Murong of Zhang's family!!"

Xun Yu smiled and dropped the chess pieces and said.

"Hehe, I'm still a person who values love and righteousness. Xun Yu, for Zhang Quan and Xu Tian. What do you think?! ”

Cao Cao withdrew his hand and did not continue to pick up the chess pieces. looked at Xun Yu and said.

"Does the prime minister like this Xu Tian?!"

"Of course, talent. Of course I do, but I only like people who work for me!! ”

"So, we just need to prove whether this Xu Tian is loyal to me or not!!"

Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and then picked up another sunspot. Looking at it carefully, it seems that there is something on this chess piece that particularly attracts him.

"Last time in the palace, Wang Ling was very disgusted with Xu Tian, so be it. Xun Yu, you revealed the evidence of Zhang Quan's secret communication with the Yuan family to Wang Ling. Tell him about their relationship again, and then, let's wait and see!! ”

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from the chess piece and decisively placed it on one of the chessboards. Xun Yu's eyes froze and sighed secretly.

"The prime minister has won again, and he is willing to bow down. The prime minister's move is like this chess piece. One son is determined!! ”

Late at night, Xu Tian, who was drunk, was staggered into his room. Xu Tian burped as he pushed away the servant who was supporting him.

"I... I can also... I don't need you, I... I'm going to find... Look for... Miss Hanyan!! ”

Stumbling all the way, the two minions behind him followed cautiously. Xu Tian came to Murong Hanyan's door with a drunken body, and when he patted the door, the door opened with a "squeak".

After sending away the two servants, Murong Hanyan helped Xu Tian to sit at the table. Turn around and go make him tea. I only heard Xu Tian mutter

"Miss Hanyan, I said, I said... I'm definitely coming, hehe, now I'm here. I'm upright, and the scenery is coming!! ”

As he spoke, he took out a sachet from his bosom. Put it under your nose and smell it again.

"It's so fragrant, Miss Hanyan. You know, when I was besieged by an army of more than 100,000 people. How scared am I? I'm actually a coward, scared of death, and don't have the guts. But when I look at this sachet, I think of you. I was suddenly less scared. I've never done anything grumpy in my life. This time, I'm going to make a big one!! No, I succeeded. Yes... It worked!!!! Ha ha!! It worked! I'm still a marquis! I have so many rewards! With these, I can marry you beautifully!! ”

The more Xu Tian spoke, the more excited he became, and he stood up slowly. The cups on the table were knocked all over the ground, and Murong Hanyan, who was pouring tea on the side, trembled faintly with his hands. There was a struggle in her eyes again, it was the first time she had heard someone say something like this. She held back the tears that were about to fall, and said in a trembling voice

"What if, if you're going to marry me, you're going to lose everything you've got now?!"

Xu Tian shook his head, he didn't notice Murong Hanyan's abnormality at this moment. Hearing this, Xu Tian waved his hands.

"These things don't really matter to me, what a knighthood. Gold and silver jewelry. It was originally an empty battle!! How can it be compared to you!! ”

Xu Tian didn't tell a lie, he didn't care about these things. Only he knows that these things do not belong to him in the first place, because he does not belong to this world either!!

Tears still flowed from Murong Hanyan's eyes, no matter what Xu Tian said was true or not. She didn't care anymore. She got the answers she wanted, in this day and age. As a woman, you can get such a promise from a man. Even if it's fake, I'll be satisfied!!

Murong Hanyan comforted Xu Tian and lay on his bed, and she sat aside. Looking at this ordinary-looking man, she smiled. Smiling happily, she felt very happy, she had already gotten something that many women in this era couldn't get. Because she knows, she can feel it. Xu Tian's heart for her, everything he said to her, is true!!

Murong Hanyan got up and sat at the table, looking at himself in the bronze mirror on the table. Smiled slightly, after Zhang Quan asked her to kill Xu Tian. She thought about it if she really killed Xu Tian. I'm afraid that the next person to be killed must be himself, as long as this is the case. Zhang Quan will have peace of mind, so. She wanted to prove that Xu Tian had a heart for her. Now, she got it. She was also willing to leave with this satisfactory answer and leave with peace of mind, and she died before she could remind Xu Tian. She couldn't tell him all this, and all her relatives were under Zhang Quan's control. In this ruthless choice, this poor woman chooses herself...

She began to dress up in front of the bronze mirror, slowly, carefully. She changed into the bridal gown that her mother had prepared for her a long time ago, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror!

The bright red dress made her look particularly moving. She took out the phoenix crown from the gift box and slowly put it on her head, this picture. It seems to be eternal!!

After a long time, Murong Hanyan picked up the black vial. glanced around again, especially Xu Tian who was lying on the bed. Retract your gaze. He raised his head and drank the liquid from the black bottle, and then slowly got up. Slowly lying beside Xu Tian, he closed his eyes with a smile...

It's just that she didn't know that what she drank was not poison. is a secret recipe that can make people fall into fake death, Zhang Quan still didn't be ruthless in the end, and his character of seeking stability in everything still made him keep a hand.....
