C500 The Ancestors Were Incompetent
As for the news of the 100,000 gold, it was like a hot potato in Zheng Mingyan's hands. It was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't attract the covetous eyes of others. Just looking at the monk and the fat young master who had just participated in the bidding wasn't easy to get along with. As for that wretched man... He actually couldn't tell the depth of the man's strength. It was very likely that he was also a hidden expert. In addition to the other hidden powers, Pang Yueluo was still thinking about how to ensure Zheng Mingyan's safety. He didn't expect this little guy to be so understanding. He casually handed the envelope to Nangong Nayue.
It could only be said that in this world, the things that everyone valued were different.
After all, to most people in this world, silver, especially huge amounts, was definitely the most important thing.
And Zheng Mingyan and Pang Yueluo's current performance and actions, in their eyes... Must be so unusual. There must be something wrong with this abnormal behavior. Therefore, they looked at the old and young man with a strange look in their eyes. They're all under scrutiny and suspicion.
Among them, the ones who were the most suspicious were the people from the Nangong family, and the ones who had the most complicated feelings were the people from the Nangong family. The ones who were slightly weaker were the people from the same group as them, such as the Bu, Fei, and the others from the Nangong family.
But this time, Nangong Nayue finally felt the focus of everyone's eyes.
Of course, at this moment, this feeling was not as comfortable and glorious as she had imagined.
Her mind was initially blank, but very quickly. She knew that she could not continue like this. After all, she was someone who had been strictly trained by the Nangong family since she was young, and she had lost her composure just now. It was also because she felt that no one was paying attention to her... But now... How could he allow himself to discover the attitude of that little girl?
She took a deep look at the boy who was a few years younger than her but was about the same height as her. Then, using the unique communication method of the sect, she discussed briefly with the uncle of the main family who was sitting behind her.
Nangong Shicai had always sat quietly behind Nangong Nayue and had never spoken a word. Many people did not even notice his existence. But in fact, he was the true person who controlled the Nangong family tonight. In comparison, Nangong Nayue was just a chirping little bird.
He was also surprised by Zheng Mingyan's actions, but his first reaction was to stare at the few people on the table. Especially the green-clothed servant and the young man who had just attacked. When he realized that the two of them were calm as if they had already made arrangements, he immediately became alert.
No one knew what Nangong Shicai and Nangong Nayue had communicated with each other. In any case, Nangong Nayue had long restrained her tears. When she lowered her head and looked up, it was as if she had turned into a magic trick. Even her appearance had become neat and dignified again. The little girl who was crying just now seemed to have nothing to do with her at all.
She stood up and looked around her. She stood still and did not move. When all the whispers in the room had disappeared, she finally spoke steadily.
"Heroes and heroes, Nangong family's Nangong Nayue greets you." As she spoke, she cupped her hands and looked around. She was actually using the male etiquette. Most of the people did not dare to be neglectful as they cupped their fists and returned the greeting. Shangguan Nayue's gaze finally stopped on Zheng Mingyan, and she smiled as she continued speaking.
"I really have to thank this little brother of mine. He had given me such a big gift the moment he made his move, it made people feel extremely grateful in their hearts. It's necessary to thank him alone. "
He was just saying it, but he folded his arms in front of his waist, placed his right hand on top, and placed his palm on top of his chest. He slightly bent his body and gave Zheng Mingyan a female salute.
Doing this made it seem like there was a difference between the inside and the outside. When he greeted everyone just now, he represented the Nangong family, and when he greeted Zheng Mingyan afterwards, he represented himself.
When Zheng Mingyan saw her like this, his little vanity was fully satisfied. With a smile on his face, he thought to himself that this young lady really did not disappoint him. It was worth it to be a good person. He did not even think about how much money he had spent.
Nangong Nayue withdrew her special smile towards Zheng Mingyan and continued, "Speaking of which, this is also the first time this little brother has met. This gift is really too heavy. It is so heavy that it makes me feel flattered. She also felt that it was not worth it to not receive the reward. She was also afraid that she would not be able to enjoy it. Thus, at this moment, that month didn't dare to monopolize this news. He had an idea in his heart, and he decided to accept his little brother's intentions. She had received the reward, but she had given it to everyone present today... Sharing it together will not be a waste of the special fate of being able to gather together today. "
At first, no one understood what she said, but when they realized what she said, they felt like they were in a dream.
Just now, the competition was raging like a raging fire. After that, the little brat who came out of nowhere gave a favor to the little girl from the Nangong family. And now, the little girl from the Nangong family was simply going to publicize this exclusive heavyweight information to the public for free. This was something that had never happened before.
It was the same as saying that everyone got a share of the news that was bought with a million silver taels. Counting the less than one hundred people in the hall, if converted into silver, each person could get more than ten thousand taels of silver. Of course, it made people overjoyed.
"Miss Nangong, please think carefully. In the past, there had never been a precedent for this information to be made public. If you do this, you might go against the heavens and bring disaster upon yourself. Please think twice!"
At this moment, white-clothed scholar's voice rang out. Zhang Jingxuan felt as if there was a hint of emotion in his voice. It was no longer as emotionless as before. His tone could not be described as complacent, dissatisfied, threatening, accommodating. He was afraid, delighted, anxious, and helpless. Or perhaps both. In short, it gave people the feeling that he had indeed changed a little.
Nangong Nayue listened to his words but did not seem to mind.
"The heavens are not fearful, the ancestors are lacking in law, and the words of the people are insufficient to compensate. Mister Bai Yi, after the auction ends, the task that belongs to you will be completed. We will have to trouble you with our matters. However, since our Nangong family has already spoken, we won't change anything. "
The young lady's words were firm and decisive.
After she finished speaking, she tore open the envelope in her hand and took out a plain letter. Without looking at it in advance, she read it word by word.
"Jianwen Emperor and Zhu Yunwen from Ming Dynasty didn't die during the Battle of Jing Nan. Now, his descendant is coming to reclaim his own empire. The name of this descendant is Zhu Hongji."
When she said this, the entire scene became silent. However, Pan Feng's voice suddenly rang out, "Zhu Hongji? I've never heard of him."
"Of course I've never heard of Zhu Hongji. Does he dare to be so flamboyant in the market? You've heard of the other Hongji, haven't you? "
Yang Xu was also shocked when he first heard the news, but he immediately calmed down and replied with a bit of disdain.
"Could it be that Li..." Pan Feng's words were half said, but he forcefully swallowed it back, as if saying it in its entirety was a treasonous matter.
