Chapter 987: The person behind the screen

The candlelight flickered indistinctly, and a figure was reflected behind the screen.
Hearing Jian Ruocheng's answer, the figure behind the screen moved slightly.
The voice has become cold.
"It seems that the sincerity of His Royal Highness King Ning, but so."
"How can you see your words?"
"Hmph, if he is sincere to us, he will not send an unknown person to negotiate."
Nan Yan frowned subconsciously.
You know, as the second son of Jian Tongguang, Jian Ruocheng once served as the central scholar in the central government. Even if he joined the Ning Palace, his status is very important. No matter who he is, he will not be described as a "no name pawn".
The person behind the screen is either ignorant or too arrogant.
But after hearing the other party's contemptuous words, Jian Ruocheng's face did not show any movement. He just raised his eyes calmly and looked at the figure on the screen.
"Your intention, I understand below."
"..."
"However, regardless of whether Lai Xia is really unknown, but Lai Xia came with the sincerity of His Highness Ning, how can it be said that His Highness Ning has no sincerity?"
This time, the other party was taken aback.
The person behind the screen looked up, as if looking at Jian Ruocheng.
"Don't be surprised by honor or disgrace. You can rest assured. You may be an unknown person, but you are not a foolish person."
Jian Ruocheng said calmly: "Your Excellency is absurd."
The other party sneered again, and suddenly said, "Even if you are not a nameless man, you Ning Wang's sincerity makes me very dissatisfied with this transaction."
Jian Ruocheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to cancel the transaction?"
"Cancel, it doesn't have to be," the other party said coldly: "You are not the only one who wants to buy this batch of ironware. It depends on which of you can satisfy me, and I will trade with whom."
Jian Ruocheng frowned and said, "Is anyone else on the boat, want to buy this batch of ironware?"
"Not bad."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes lit up-there is another group of people coming to bid for this batch of ironware?
What should they do?
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded next to him: "Who is overhearing!?"
Nan Yan was shocked and saw two people dressed as guards rushing up. Before she could react, her shoulder was held by a big hand.
"what!"
Nan Yan exclaimed, and his other hand was already grabbed and clasped behind him.
At this time, the people in the room also heard the movement outside.
"What happened?"
"Master, someone is eavesdropping outside."
"Oh, come in."
"Yes."
After speaking, the two guards opened the door, and buckled Nan Yan's hands and escorted her in.
As soon as Nan Yan looked up, she saw Jian Ruocheng stand up in a panic.
And she also saw the whole picture of this room.
It was indeed a very large room, bigger and more spacious than the one I just saw in the crack of the door, like a tall palace.
But the furnishings inside are very simple. Except for the layers of veils hanging down from the roof, there is also the screen in front of Jian Ruocheng. The rest is almost empty.
The screen and the layers of veils seem to divide this large room into countless worlds, indistinctly, making people unable to distinguish what is on the opposite side.
Nan Yan only saw the figure behind the screen.
"Nanyan!"
When they saw Nan Yan being caught by them, Jian Ruocheng hurriedly stepped forward to protect her.
"Just let her go, don't hurt her."
The two guards would naturally not listen to him, but fortunately, for the sake of the guests, their hands were slightly loosened, and then they said to the person behind the screen: "Master, this woman is eavesdropping outside. !"
"Oh……"
The figure behind the screen is slightly straight.
It seems that he is looking at himself through the screen.
Nan Yan's hands were restrained and a little pain. Jian Ruocheng was distressed and hurriedly turned around and said: "Your Excellency, don't get me wrong, she is the one who came with me, because the sea is too windy, she was unconscious when she boarded the ship. Arranged her to rest in the cabin. Just now, she should have come to me after waking up."
After speaking, he bowed his head to Nanyan and said, "Right, Nanyan?"
At this time, Nan Yan of course had to follow his words, after all, he was originally looking for him.
"Yes, I just don't know where I am, and there is no one around, of course I will come to you."
Jian Ruocheng said immediately: "This is just a misunderstanding, please let your people let go of her."
"..."
The person behind the screen is still motionless.
Although only an outline can be seen, Nan Yan seems to be able to feel it, with a pair of eyes behind the screen, looking at herself intently.
After a long time, a deep voice came from behind the screen--
"Si-Nan-Smoke."
"...!"
Nan Yan was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, this person actually knew his full name.
Jian Ruocheng was also taken aback, and looked at the figure shown on the screen with a little surprise, but saw him raise his hand and gently waved at the two guards: "Let her go."
"Yes, master."
The hands of the two guards immediately let go.
Nan Yan staggered, and was immediately supported by Jian Ruocheng. He held her hand and said softly, "Isn't it hurt?"
Nan Yan shook his head, but when he raised his hand, several red finger marks had been caught on his wrist.
However, now is not the time to care about this.
She bit her lower lip and looked at the figure on the screen.
"you know me?"
"..."
The other party fell silent.
Jian Ruocheng also frowned. Even if the other party knew him, it was understandable, but why would the other party know Nan Yan?
He said, "Your Excellency, who is it?"
"..."
"Since it’s a deal with King Ning, I'm here on behalf of King Ning. Shouldn’t we meet frankly?"
"..."
"Your Excellency keeps putting a screen in the center, but he refuses to show up. Why?"
But no matter how he asked, the other party never spoke.
That figure, motionless, gradually revealed a sense of outrageous motionlessness.
Jian Ruocheng felt more and more strange.
If it's something else, he can go past it, or just keep it silent.
But the matter involves Nan Yan, and now, they are completely on the other party's boat, and it can be said that everything is under the control of the other party, even their lives.
This made him have to beware.
He said, "Your Excellency, is there nothing to say?"
The other party was silent for a while, and then said: "It's getting late."
"..."
"Since both of you have experienced storms and waves before getting on the boat, then please go and rest first."
"..."
"Our transaction will proceed tomorrow."
After speaking, I saw the man slowly get up, followed by a gust of wind, blowing out the candle behind the screen.
