Yue Mingde listened and nodded quickly.
Wenren Yao said, “For today’s affairs, we are only responsible for playing the host, not for participating, do you understand?”
Yue Mingde nodded again, but he hesitated a bit, as if there was something to ask.
“Do you want to know why I want to help Nangong Ning do this round?” Wenren Yao looked at him and asked directly.
Yue Mingde nodded and said, “Yes, I don’t quite understand. Although Miss Nangong is married to the Regent, but everyone in Beijing knows that as long as the regent does not agree, she may not do it successfully, and the current owner of the Nangong family is not friendly to her. We Sibafang doing this seemed to be somewhat like … ”
“Loss trading?” Wenren Yao interfaced.
Yue Mingde nodded, looking up to Wenren Yao .
Wenren Yao lifted his lips gently, as if his smile seemed to disappear, which made his expression seemed a little unpredictable.
“It’s all about appearances. Well, Nangong Ning … she won’t disappoint me. Besides, I never trade at a loss. If you don’t understand it, wait first, and then you can understand in the future.”
Yue Mingde’s heart fluttered, and he nodded in salute, no longer talking, and backed out.
When he went outside, the guy in the house came to tell Yue Mingde that they still couldn’t find the two masked people.
Yue Mingde’s heart sank, but when he remembered the explanation of Wenren Yao, he only commanded: “If you can’t find them, you don’t need to pay attention to them. You all do your own things. If nothing happens, just ignore it.”
“Yes.”
After commanding, Yue Mingde asked again, “Does Miss Nangong enter Tianzijian?”
The guy said: “Yes.”
Yue Mingde waved them to retreat, but he went out to Tianzijian.
Sibafang was very large. The entire venue was divided into the inside and outside. The outside was the lobby. There were all kinds of gambling tables. In addition, the inside hall was divided into four rooms, each named Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang.
These four gambling rooms were set in order. The Huang room was the lowest and the Tian room was the highest. So in general, few people entered Tian room, but today was the exception.
According to the news from Sibafang, Ning Ziqing was carrying the world’s most precious treasure, so he kept Tian room open. Nangong Ning wanted to bet with Ning Ziqing, and it was natural to enter Tian room.
Of course there was no Ning Ziqing at all, and now there was only Nangong Ning in Tian room.
Yue Mingde wanted to go in and tell Nangong Ning about the masked man. Although he didn’t t know if it would happen, it was always good to have a defense.
But as soon as he entered the sky, Yue Mingde could not find Nangong Ning.
Tian room was a gambling room; except for the larger place, there was no extra decoration, so there was no place to hide people.
His heart was tight, and he hurried out to ask the guards on both sides.
“Did Miss Nangong go out?”
The guard shook his head and said, “No.”
Yue Mingde suddenly heard his heart jump.
At this time, Nangong Ning didn’t know what was going on with her. She was originally sitting in the Tian Gambling Room, but suddenly, her eyes dazzled, then she felt her wrists tighten, and then it was a bit fuzzy.
Out of the natural vigilance of the poison master, she was sure she was not poisoned.
Someone pressed on a certain point on her wrist, causing her to feel dizzy, and sick.
Feeling sick and wanted to vomit.
“Ou!”
“You …” The man didn’t think about Nangong Ning’s reaction, and the person who embraced her left her subconsciously, and there was a strong suspicion in his cold eyes.
Immediately after being released, Nangong Ning didn’t feel sick anymore. She wiped the drool of her mouth with her sleeve, and then fell on the corner for a while before turning her face.
The windows in Sibafang were crucified, and they were covered with black curtains, so even in the daytime, there were lights and candles everywhere in Sibafang.
The light created by the candle was dim, and at this moment in the corner where she was, the light could be said to be a bit dim.
She lifted her eyes and was frozen. The person stood in front of her had a tall figure. She couldn’t see his face at all, but his eyes stared at her in the dim light, which made her scared.
“Who, who are you?” Nangong Ning was terrified. Today, for her, there was a hard battle to fight, and no accident could occur.
The man didn’t talk, just came closer to her.
Nangong Ning could not help but step back, but in only two steps, her back hit the wall suddenly.
Nangong Ning looked scared.
The man came to her at this time, and the height difference made Nangong Ning’s nervous mood suddenly become more nervous and oppressed.
Nangong kept her mouth open and wanted to question, but suddenly she felt her jaw pinched, and then she was forced to lift her eyes, and she met the cold eyes of the other person with a short distance.
Only now did she realize that the person was wearing some kind of metallic mask with a cold light on it, but it was not as cold as his eyes.
She wanted to swallow, but her jaw was clamped, and she couldn’t do it.
“Who, who are you? What do you want …”
The man didn’t say a word, and suddenly reached into Nangong Ning’s placket.
Nangong Ning’s eyes widened instantly.
Satyr, huh? !
However, only a moment later, his hand went out again. Nangong Ning blushed at this moment, anxious to go up and take a bite of him, but the next moment, the man suddenly let her go and turned away.
Going away …
Nangong slumped against the wall, her brain was blank, unable to think.
For a long time, Nangong Ning touched her heart in shock, but as soon as she moved her hand, she found something strange.
She quickly reached into her arms and touched something.
It was a black iron block, but it should not be ordinary iron, because the tentacles were extremely cold, but the texture was particularly delicate, and the color was not a normal iron color, but an extreme black color, which suddenly made her think of the cold glance of the man just now.
What was this?
Between the flips, Nangong Ning found that there was a very delicate pattern on it, but the light was so dark that she couldn’t see it clearly.
“Miss Nangong?” Just as Nangong Ning was looking at it closely, she suddenly heard someone calling out to her.
With a tight heart, she subconsciously put the black iron block back in her arms and stepped out.
When Yue Mingde saw Nangong Ning walking, unhurt, from the corner, he was relieved and asked quickly, “Miss Nangong, are you all right?”
“Oh, it’s okay. I come out to take a breathe.” Nangong Ning thought for a moment, and explained. What just happened made her feel weird. She didn’t want to tell Yue Mingde.
Yue Mingde looked at her strangely.
Come out and breathe? But how did you come out silent? And the guards even didn’t notice her.
Nangong Ning knew what Yue Mingde was thinking and smiled at him, and said, “Is it almost the time?”
When Yue Mingde heard it, he was suddenly distracted and nodded: “Yes, Miss. Nangong, you still go back to Tian room”
Nangong nodded and turned back to the Tian room.
Today, in addition to Nangong Ning and “Ning Ziqing” in Sibafang, there were only 20 guests. In addition to the staff of Shibafang, there were only 40 or 50 people in total. The people were really few.
However, the atmosphere today was unusually warm. Everyone at the present was more excited than usual.
Nangong Ning and Ning Ziqing, who had the legendary treasure, were both in Tian room at this time, and others were not allowed to enter.
However, the four gambling rooms had special arrangements. One side of each room could be opened, and only a layer of the screen curtain was draped for the people outside.
At this time, those who bought the Fang Pai came in and were respectively placed in front of the screens in Tian Room by the folks at Sibafang.
Where they sat was not far from Tian room but they were not close to Tian room either, and because of the screen and the light, they could only see that there were two figures sitting opposite each other, but they did not see what they looked like.
However, the slender figure on the right, although it was just a shadow, could still make people match the stunning beauty that they saw at the door before. It must be Miss Nangong,
“It was a pity that we can’t see what he looks like. What exactly is Mr. Ning like?”
“Who knows! I was here yesterday, but there were a lot of people at that time, and I didn’t know that someone opened a Tianzi gambling room. If it wasn’t for the news later, I wouldn’t know that such a big thing happened at Sibafang yesterday! ”
“Yes, me too! I really want to go in and see!”
“Don’t think about it, there are regulations in Sibafang. We can only watch here. But after they gamble, we may see them!”
“Yes, let’s wait.”
This time, regardless of winning or losing, when the bet was over, the two would leave the Tian gambling room, and naturally they would see the real person.
Dangdang Dangdang …
Suddenly, the gambling drum peculiar to Sibafang sounded, and everyone was shocked, staring at the front.
It was time to start!
At this time, Yue Mingde came out of Tian room and faced everyone, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Nangong is here for the Xuanhuang treasure box.”
The sound fell, and a hissing sounded in the field.
If Miss Nangong was not for the treasure of the world, what else could she do?
“Isn’t Xuanhuang Treasure Box being bet on Sibafang?” Someone couldn’t help asking, “Can this also be used for gambling?”
Yue Mingde’s face showed a standard businessman-like smile, snd he said: “Of course,if you want to bet, you can do it, too. This world treasure is precious, both precious and troublesome. We don’t want to go into trouble.”
The crowd listened, and many of them noded.
The treasure was naturally concerned about by countless people. It might not be exchanged for the benefit by Sibafang, but it would not cause trouble.
“Mr. Ning just bets for the treasure box at Sibafang. The gambling silver he owed is definitely going to be paid back. While the treasure box is betting at Sibafang, everyone can come and gamble with Mr.Ning. As a condition, since betting for the precious, you must have enough financial resources to make bets. “Yue Mingde said again, with a smile on his face.
