Before taking on this hot potato, Zhang San could have been completely indifferent to the world. Official positions, fame and fortune were all things he could easily discard.

But unfortunately, it is not possible now. Under the coercion of Dou Su, when Zhang San chose to become the canonized stranger in Taiping County, he was destined to need to take advantage of the situation.

Only in this way can he stir up trouble in this chaotic world, and only in this way can he ensure that he will not be swallowed up by this chaotic world.

The above are the excuses Zhang San uses to convince himself. It doesn’t really matter how much of them are true or whether the logical relationships are reasonable.

From the beginning to the end, there is only one thing that is really important, that is, Zhang San needs a reason, he needs a reason to liberate his nature.

In the past, he could use some decadent memories to suppress this impulse, but when the memory palace was integrated, this nature became as unruly as a wild horse and could no longer be restrained by Zhang San.

And this is the real him! …

"I admit that this condition is very tempting, but what do I have to pay?"

Whether in the past life or in this life, there will be some subtle rules in the market, and the most true one is that "there is no free lunch in the world."

Looking at Zhang San's slightly sick expression, Gu Xuanyan at this time showed unprecedented excitement. That burning gaze was as if she had seen something delicious, which made people frightened, but also made people fall deeply in love with it.

Yes, that’s it. From the first moment she saw Zhang San, Gu Xuanyan knew that Zhang San and she were the same type of people.

He should have been a monster roaring at the world, but he was willing to retract his claws and become a waste.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang San doing this, but unfortunately, Gu Xuanyan does not agree with him sinking into this state.

She originally wanted to use benefits to seduce Zhang San, but she didn't expect that the ferocious beast had already been out of the cage.

Third brother, you are great!

After covering her face with her sleeves to hide her excitement, Gu Xuanyan adjusted herself back to normal.

"Not much, I believe you can see that. I decided to bet on you, but I am a woman with little influence. If you, third brother, cross the river and destroy the bridge, then my Gu family will be doomed. If that happens, how can I face my parents in the afterlife?"

After all, he is a professional actor, and his eyes even turned red as he spoke.

However, Zhang San could also understand that this was an extraordinary world after all. Without external forces to guarantee, no one could suppress human nature over the spirit of the contract.

Zhang San tapped his forehead with his finger, and after a little thought, he couldn't help but ask, "Almost done, take it back and tell me your plan!"

If you say this, then I won’t act anymore. After hearing Zhang San’s compromising tone, Gu Xuanyan suddenly became energetic.

"It's very simple, just you and I get married!"

Seeing Zhang San's expression that said 'are you kidding me', Gu Xuanyan hurriedly explained.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to bind our relationship together, so that you won't burn bridges after crossing the river. After all, the canonization of foreigners must follow the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. If I am charged with treason, I can take you with me when I execute my entire clan, right?"

I don't know why, but after Gu Xuanyan said these scheming words, Zhang San felt that it was natural, and he didn't think it was too much. Zhang San didn't know the reason, but the life-saving grace alone was enough to make him give in.

"I can promise you that you don't need to mention the rest of the conditions. I've seen this kind of routine many times. Don't worry, I won't touch you after we get married. When we rest, we will naturally sleep in separate rooms. And one more thing, when the deal is over, if you want to get together or leave, just tell me and I will sign the marriage contract."

Perhaps because there were many experiences from previous dynasties to learn from, the legal settings of the Jin Dynasty were relatively complete. Moreover, as far as the status between men and women after marriage was concerned, it did not seem to be oppressed by feudal ethics.

Coupled with the influence of various romance novels in his previous life, Zhang San is quite familiar with this routine.

But, is it that the pursuit of transcendence is no longer interesting, or is it that practicing the technique is boring? In this extraordinary world, he really doesn't have the time to act out those old-fashioned plots.

So without even Gu Xuanyan's reminder, Zhang San took it for granted and listed the other party's conditions. If it were any other script, the matter might have been left at that. Whether it could be resolved later depended entirely on the director's skills.

But if this matter was in the hands of a madman like Gu Xuanyan, it would be a different story.

"Did I misjudge him? Are you still a man if you can propose such a condition?" As if she saw the fierceness in Zhang San's eyes, Gu Xuanyan immediately retracted her contemptuous gaze and instead looked at Zhang San with admiration.

"Third brother, I was wrong. It's because the conditions you mentioned before were not within my plan. But since you agreed, I will let you see the marriage contract. If you have any questions, tell me immediately. Otherwise, you can't regret it after the official seal is affixed."

Under Zhang San's slightly surprised gaze, Gu Xuanyan pulled out a marriage contract with the remaining warmth of her body from her arms.

With the help of criminal investigation skills, Zhang San can naturally discern more meanings.

The ink has not completely dried yet, which shows that it was written within two hours. It seems that she is very confident in convincing herself; there is nothing special about the marriage contract itself, even the paper is officially issued Xuan paper, and Gu Xuanyan cannot forge this.

No, there seems to be something else besides body temperature.

Pear blossoms? No, it should be the scent of osmanthus, but underneath this scent, there seems to be a hint of hallucinogens. No wonder her blood flow is a little faster. It turns out that she was drugged. It seems that she is not so confident.

After taking a quick look at the material of the marriage contract, Zhang San shifted his attention to the content. Apart from the Dajin standard format, Gu Xuanyan actually only mentioned two conditions from beginning to end.

One is that after the marriage, if the couple plans to divorce, Zhang Sirui will be compensated with half of the Gu family's assets.

Not to mention you, even Zhang San himself felt it was a bit outrageous. However, when he saw the second condition, he realized that he was still young.

Second, after marriage, it must be ensured that there is a child with the surname Gu.
