Hidden Blade-Chapter 38 Banquet Is No Good Banquet

After all, Marquis of Ning was a Marquis of Ning.

No matter how gloomy he had been these past few years, he hadn't fallen behind as a Marquis.

The scale of the banquet was much larger than Xu Han had imagined.

The guests who came were on the third floor, the third floor, and the third floor. They were all seated in the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion of Ning Country, leaving behind only a long passage in the middle.

When Xu Han followed the attendant into the main hall, the guests who had already taken their seats all cast their gazes on Xu Han.

Xu Han had lived for eighteen years and had never received such a courteous reception before. However, he did not have stage fright. Although he was somewhat curious about the gazes cast by the crowd, he still straightened his back and walked with the attendant to the seat that had been arranged for him.

Unexpectedly, the action Ye Chengtai had arranged for him was actually the first place below the main seat. This caused Xu Han to be stunned.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Chengtai , only to see that the middle-aged man was also looking at him with a smile on his face.

Xu Han felt that the smile was somewhat strange, but after all, this banquet was a big occasion. Xu Han could not ask any more questions, so he could only put away his doubts and sit down.

"Miao." Just as she sat down, Xuan'er's gaze was attracted by the sumptuous food placed on the table. She let out a long cry of surprise and jumped onto the table. Her nose kept sniffing among the food as if she wanted to tell which was her favorite taste.

"Greedy." Seeing this, Xu Han scolded with a smile, but his gaze towards Xuan'er was filled with doting.

At this moment, the gazes of the crowd still hadn't retracted. Most of them were still looking at Xu Han with curiosity or confusion.

Sensing this, Xu Han was slightly stunned.

He was a little confused.

The people in this hall were most likely the dignitaries of Chang'an City, dressed in silk and dressed in delicious delicacies. Xu Han, on the other hand, was dressed in sackcloth with a black cat and a white cloth tied to his right arm. Even Xu Han knew that dressing like this was a bit out of place compared to these dignitaries.

Just now, when they entered the hall, everyone looked at him curiously. Why did the gazes of these people still fall on him at this time?

Could it be that such attire was so rare for the elders of Chang'an?

Xu Han couldn't help but tease in his heart.

"Everyone, I believe everyone already knows about the fact that the Little Girl was accepted as a disciple by the Linglong Pavilion's Elder Division." At this time, Ye Chengtai , as the host, finally raised his wine cup and spoke loudly to the people below the stage.

"Little girl, it's all thanks to your help to our Ye Clan over the years. I'll toast you all here."

These words were naturally scenes. The Marquis of Ning had lost power for many years, and there were only a handful of guests in the Marquis Manor of Ning who had come and gone these past few years. If Ye Hongjian hadn't been appreciated by Sikong Bai , most of the people present wouldn't have taken him seriously.

Ye Chengtai and everyone present knew all of this. However, no one was willing to light it. Instead, they all raised their wine glasses at that time and spoke like old friends. Then, they all drank the wine in their cups.

Naturally, Xu Han was no exception. However, when he finished drinking a cup of sake and put it down, he felt that someone was casting a gaze at him not far away.

This gaze was different from the gazes cast by the others. It was not puzzled or curious, but was filled with hostility.

Xu Han was stunned. He looked in the direction where the gaze came from.

However, not far from his location, there was a teenager the size of him staring at him.

The youth was dressed in brocade clothes and wore a jade belt around his waist. He was quite handsome, but the gloomy aura between his eyebrows really made Xu Han a little unhappy.

However, Xu Han did not understand. He had only arrived in Chang'an yesterday. Today, Ye Hongjian first came to cause trouble, but now, this young master who looked like he was from a noble family looked at him coldly. However, Xu Han did not know exactly where he had provoked these people.

He simply stopped looking at the young master and lowered his head to tease Xuan'er. However, the other party's gaze landed firmly on Xu Han like a maggot of a tarsal bone, as if he wished he could kill Xu Han on the spot.

At this moment, Ye Chengtai said, "Yesterday, I had already troubled you all to share the joy that Lady De Sibang valued. I shouldn't have troubled you all again today."

" Marquis , what are you talking about!"

"That's right. We've known each other for many years. If Marquis has a life, how can we not obey?"

Just as Ye Chengtai's words were spoken, several people below received the conversation and responded enthusiastically. If no one else saw this scene, they would most likely sigh with admiration that Ye Chengtai had such feelings for everyone else. However, only Ye Chengtai knew the truth.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Chengtai hurriedly smiled and nodded when he heard what everyone said. "However, I have an important matter to announce when I invite all of you here today."

Ye Chengtai smiled and pointed at Xu Han who was not far away.

At that time, everyone's gazes fell on Xu Han once again.

Xu Han's heart trembled. He did not understand what Ye Chengtai was doing.

However, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and the muscles around his body tensed up at that moment. This was an instinct that he had obtained from risking his life and death many times. As long as Ye Chengtai said something that was detrimental to him, he could react as quickly as possible to deal with it.

"This young master is called Xu Han."

"After my old friend."

"From today onwards, he will also be…"

At that moment, Xu Han's heart rose to his throat. He thought of Ye Hongjian's sudden attitude today. Perhaps Ye Chengtai had already told Ye Hongjian his identity, and perhaps he wanted to reveal it to the public at this moment.

How sensitive was the disciple of the Headmaster of the Tiance Prefecture ?

How many people would want to get rid of it quickly?

Just thinking of this caused Xu Han's heart to sink. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"Little girl Ye Hongjian 's husband!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of congratulations rang out from everyone present.

"Huh?"

And what about Xu Han?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and his expression became extremely ugly. He did not expect that Ye Chengtai would actually play such a trick on him!

He stared blankly at the crowd, only to see that everyone was congratulating him. Whether it was because of fake feelings or fake intentions, at this moment, there was a slow smile on their faces. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Obviously, they had already known about this news.

Thinking so carefully, Xu Han understood why Ye Hongjian would suddenly come to the door today to face him with a sword.

However, the truth was the same. The news that the daughter of the Marquis of Ning Country was going to marry an unknown youth was released by Ye Chengtai at dawn today. He also took the opportunity to invite more than half of the dignitaries in Chang'an City to congratulate him. This news can be said to stir up thousands of waves, who can be said to be the current Chang'an?

Even if the peddlers on the roadside didn't know how to write, he would still say Ye Chengtai 's name without hesitation when asked this question.

His precious daughter, whom the Linglong Pavilion Division had blankly appreciated, had caused countless people to be filled with envy.

Not to mention that Ye Hongjian was originally pretty, but the identity of the direct disciple of Sikong Bai was enough to make more than half of the kings in Chang'an flock to her. Someone had already been secretly pondering how to form a good relationship with his Ye Clan's Qin Jin Clan.

However, he didn't want to kill a Xu Han who had appeared from nowhere halfway, to actually accept such a beautiful and charming woman.

Everyone was envious, but at the same time, they were helpless.

After all, what Ye Chengtai had given everyone was a notice, not a discussion. No matter how regretful his heart was, he could only greet them with a smile.

It was just that Xu Han had always lived in the manor, and he didn't know anyone in the city, so he was the last to know about this news.

Thinking of this, Xu Han turned around in a daze and looked at Ye Chengtai , who was sitting on the main seat. The expression on his face was incomparably brilliant and indescribable.

Ye Chengtai turned a blind eye to Xu Han's questioning gaze. Instead, he smiled and toasted the surrounding guests, as if he was really happy that his daughter had found a husband.

At that time, Xu Han's eyes gradually narrowed as he looked at Ye Chengtai .

He had probably guessed what Ye Chengtai was thinking.

The Marquis of Ning Country said that it sounded good to be a Marquis, but said that it sounded bad, but it was just a noble in the capital that had no reputation.

The matter of Ye Hongjian entering the Exquisite Pavilion pushed him to the forefront of the storm, so he chose to board the war chariot of the Tiance Prefecture helplessly.

However, he was not satisfied with just making a chess piece.

He wanted to send his daughter, Ye Hongjian , to the power center of the Tian Ce Prefecture to ensure that her daughter would be in a relatively safe position in the upcoming battle between the Tian Ce Prefecture and the Long Night Division. At the very least, she would not be a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

And Xu Han.

In Ye Chengtai 's eyes, this disciple of the Headmaster of the Tiance Prefecture was undoubtedly the fastest way to accomplish this.

That was why there was such a scene just now.

He told the whole of Chang'an that his daughter was going to marry Xu Han.

This was the price he offered Xu Han, the reward he needed to board the war chariot of the Tiance Prefecture .

However, what he did not know was that although Xu Han was a disciple of the Headmaster, he did not necessarily have a better understanding of the Tiance Prefecture than him.

Of course, from Ye Chengtai 's point of view, whether it was for his family or his daughter, he did not do anything wrong.

However, Xu Han did not like it.

This feeling of being used by others was not a good experience for Xu Han.

He looked at Ye Chengtai at that time, the coldness in his eyes becoming more and more intense.

"What kind of thing is this guy? He's worthy of marrying Hongjian!?" Just as the rage in Xu Han's heart was burning brighter and brighter, a sinister voice suddenly sounded.

It was the young master who had been staring at Xu Han with hostility.

"You again?" Hearing this, Xu Han slowly turned his head and looked at the young master. He asked coldly.

" Lin Kai !"
