The candlelight swayed, faintly, and a figure reflected behind the screen.

Hearing Jian Ruocheng's answer, the figure behind the screen moved slightly.

The voice was already cold.

"It seems that His Highness Ning's sincerity is nothing more than that."

"How can you see what you say?"

"Hmph, if he had sincerity for us, he would not have sent an unknown man to negotiate."

Nan Yan subconsciously frowned.

You should know that Jian Ruocheng, as the second son of Jian Tongguang, once served as the right chief of the Secretariat in the court. Even if he surrendered to the Ning Prince's Mansion, his status was of great importance. No one would call him a "nameless man".

The person behind the screen is either ignorant or too arrogant.

However, when he heard the other party's contemptuous words, Jian Ruocheng's face did not look moved. He just raised his eyes calmly and looked at the figure on the screen.

"I understand your intention."

“…”

"However, no matter whether you are really an unknown person, you are here with the sincerity of Your Highness Ning. How can you say that Your Highness Ning is in no way sincere?"

This time, the other party was stunned for a moment.

The person behind the screen raised his head, as if he had looked at Jian Ruocheng.

"You are not afraid of honor and disgrace, and you are safe. You may be an unknown man, but not an unknown man who is not worthy of anything."

Jian Ruocheng said calmly: "Your Excellency."

But the other party sneered again and suddenly said, "Even if you are not an unknown person, your King Ning'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?"

"No need to cancel," the other party said coldly: "It's not just you who want to buy this batch of iron tools. It depends on whoever you can satisfy me, I will trade with."

Jian Ruocheng frowned and said, "Is there someone else on the boat, want to buy this batch of iron tools?"

"good."

When Nan Yan heard this, his eyes lit up. Another group of people came to bid for them on this batch of iron tools?

So what should they do?

At this moment, a roar suddenly rang out next to him: "Who is there to eavesdrop!?"

Nan Yan was shocked and saw two people dressed in guards rushing up. Before she could react, her shoulder was already pressed by a big hand.

"ah!"

Nan Yan exclaimed, and his other hand was already caught and held 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 saying that, the two guards opened the door and held Nan Yan's hand back and escorted her in.

As soon as Nan Yan looked up, he saw Jian Ruocheng standing up in panic.

And she also saw the whole picture of the room.

It is indeed a very large room, larger and more spacious than what I saw in the crack in the door just now, like a tall palace.

But the furnishings inside are very simple. Apart from the layers of veil hanging from the roof and the screen in front of Jian Ruocheng, the others are almost empty.

The screen and layers of veil seemed to divide this wide room into countless worlds, faintly making people unable to tell what was opposite.

Nan Yan only saw the figure behind the screen.

"Nanyan!"

As soon as he saw Nan Yan being caught by them, Jian Ruocheng hurriedly walked up to protect her.

"You guys let her go, don't hurt her."

Of course the two guards would not listen to him, but fortunately, for the sake of the guest, the force in their hands was slightly loosened, and then they said to the person behind the screen: "Master, it's this woman who is eavesdropping outside!"

"oh……"

The figure behind the screen rose slightly.

It seems that he is looking at himself through the screen.

Nan Yan's hands were pinched and it hurt a little. Jian Ruocheng felt very distressed and hurriedly turned around and said, "Your Excellency, don't get me wrong. She is the one who came with me. Because the storm on the sea is too strong, she was already unconscious when she got on the boat. She arranged her to rest in the cabin. Just now, she should have come to me after she woke up."

After saying that, he lowered his head and said to Nanyan: "Right, Nanyan?"

At this time, Nan Yan 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 me. Of course I want to come to you."

Jian Ruocheng immediately said: "This is just a misunderstanding. Please let your people go."

“…”

The person behind the screen still remained motionless.

Although only one outline can be seen, Nan Yan seemed to be able to feel her eyes behind the screen, looking at herself intently.

After a long time, a low voice came from behind the screen

"Sinanyan."

“…!”

Nan Yan was shocked.

Unexpectedly, this person actually knew his full name.

Jian Ruocheng was also shocked and looked at the figure on the screen with some surprise, but saw him raise his hand and waved it gently at the two guards: "Let her go."

“Yes, master.”

The hands of the two guards immediately released.

Nan Yan staggered for a moment, and was immediately supported by Jian Ruocheng. He held her hand and whispered: "Isn't hurt, are you?"

Nan Yan shook his head, but when he raised his hand, he saw that several red finger marks had been scratched on his wrist.

However, it is not the time to care about this now.

She bit her lower lip and looked at the figure on the screen.

"You know me?"

“…”

But the other party fell silent.

Jian Ruocheng also frowned. Even if it is understandable that the other party knows him, it is, but why did the other party know Nan Yan?

He said, "Who is it, Your Excellency?"

“…”

"Since we are making a deal with King Ning, we are here to represent King Ning, shouldn't we meet honestly?"

“…”

"Your Excellency keeps setting up a screen in the center, but refuses to show up, why?"

But no matter how he asked, the other party never spoke.

The figure was motionless, gradually exuding a sense of courage as if it was still as motionless as a mountain.

Jian Ruocheng felt even more strange.

If it were anything else, he could pass it through, or endure it.

But things involved Nanyan, and now, they were completely on each other's boat, and it can be said that everything was under the control of the other party, even their lives.

This made him beware of it.

He said, "Your Excellency, are there nothing to say?"

The other party was silent for a while, and then said, "It's already late."

“…”

"Since both of you have experienced the storm before you get on my boat, please go down and rest first."

“…”

"Our deal will be done tomorrow."
