Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "Such a coincidence?" She had just returned yesterday and Mo Jingqi's people had arrived today. This was too much of a coincidence. Feng Zhiyao nodded and said: "It really is a coincidence, but this subordinate has investigated. It shouldn't be related to Wang Fei. The other just came out of Fei Hong Pass yesterday. However, it should be related to the person we caught yesterday. "
"Tan Jizhi?" Ye Li frowned in thought, "Tan Jizhi's courage isn't small. He wants Mo Jingqi to save him? Isn't he afraid that if his identity is exposed, the first person to kill him will be Mo Jingqi? " Feng Zhiyao smiled and said: "He probably didn't think that his identity would be known by us. This subordinate guesses that the reason why Mo Jingqi's people are involved is because he has made two preparations. After all, the northwest is in our hands. No matter how careful he is, it is possible that he will fall into our hands. If we don't know that his other identity is related to Wang Fei, and just catch Tan Jizhi, in the end, it is possible that he will be returned to Mo Jingqi. "
Ye Li nodded, "Then that is to say … … Mo Jingqi knows what Tan Jizhi came to the northwest to do. At least it is something that will benefit him. "
Feng Zhiyao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Will Tan Jizhi tell Mo Jingqi that the previous dynasty's Emperor Gaozu's mausoleum is in the northwest? Mo Jingqi wants the treasures in the Emperor Mausoleum. " It was said that the previous dynasty's Emperor Gaozu's mysterious Emperor Mausoleum was the most abundant and mysterious of all the Emperors' tombs. Even Feng Zhiyao didn't think that the Emperor Mausoleum that had been missing from the beginning would be in the northwest. Ye Li stopped fanning herself, "How will he explain how he knows the secret of the Emperor Mausoleum?"
"Then we'll have to ask Tan Jizhi." Feng Zhiyao said with a smile.
Ye Li thought for a moment, "Tell Tan Jizhi that I want the Biluo Flower and the antidote to the poison in Prince's body. Also … "Ye Li frowned and said," Tell Qin Feng to interrogate Su Zuidie. She must know something important. It was just that Tan Jizhi's identity was not enough for her to hold on for so long without confessing. More importantly, how did she and Tan Jizhi get to know each other! "
"This subordinate obeys. Then … were they sent by Mo Jingqi?" Feng Zhiyao asked.
Ye Li lowered her eyes and said faintly, "Leave it for now. We'll talk about it when Prince is free."
Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao's mouth twitched as he looked at Mo Xiuyao, who was sleeping peacefully on the chair. Prince was very free, okay? The workaholic Prince was very bad, but the suddenly lazy Prince was even worse. Thinking about how the study was already piled high with reports and files in just two days, Feng Zhiyao felt his vision darken. He could only hope that Prince's current situation would not last for too long.
"This subordinate will take his leave."
In the governor's mansion's dungeon, Tan Jizhi sat in a corner, expressionlessly looking at the dark dungeon. It had already been three days since he had been locked in this dungeon, but he had not seen Mo Xiuyao or Ye Li. Only Feng Zhiyao would come to see him from time to time. His intentions were clear. He only wanted the whereabouts of the Biluo Flower and the antidote to the poison in Mo Xiuyao's body. Of course, Tan Jizhi would not easily tell Feng Zhiyao. He did not believe that Mo Xiuyao would let him go if he really told him. But at the same time, he also knew that the longer he stayed here, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. He had to leave here before that bitch Su Zuidie could not take it anymore and spilled everything, or kill her …
Shu Manlin was locked in a room opposite Tan Jizhi. Although it was only a few steps away, the two could only look at each other from afar. Shu Manlin, as the Southern Border's Holy Maiden, was also a noble woman who had not suffered much since she was young. When she first came in, she still had the strength to curse and scold, but after Feng Zhiyao starved her for two meals, she obediently stayed there. But from time to time, she would look at Tan Jizhi and cry, which made Tan Jizhi, who was already annoyed, even more annoyed. He simply did not bother with her. The two of them had nothing to say in the cell. Tan Jizhi sat on the side, lost in thought and thinking of a plan. Shu Manlin sat opposite him, crying and complaining from time to time.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Tan Jizhi's expression did not change, but his gaze quickly shot to the door. Under the crowd's escort, a pair of beautiful people walked in hand in hand. Tan Jizhi's gaze first fell on Ye Li's body. She had changed out of her plain and simple clothes, and was wearing a lilac colored Water Cloud Satin embroidered with light colored hibiscus flowers. In this hot summer, it showed a different kind of delicate and elegant. At the same time, it also made Tan Jizhi secretly apprehensive of the Prince Ding Mansion's hidden strength. Now, Mo Jingqi had already seized Mo Xiuyao's title of nobility on the grounds of Mo Xiuyao's treason. He had completely sealed off the entire northwest region and the Da Chu State's economic exchanges. The Prince Ding Mansion was in this remote northwest region, but they were still able to produce this year's newest Water Cloud Satin, a specialty of the Nanzhao Kingdom. It could be seen that they had huge financial resources and connections. It should be known that even in the Imperial Palace, there were only about ten pieces of Water Cloud Satin in a year. When the two countries started fighting last year, they were completely out of stock.
Tan Jizhi had never felt that Ye Li was very beautiful because he had seen too many stunning beauties. But at this time, he had to admit that Mo Xiuyao's eyes were very good. The beauty of the woman in front of him was not stunning, but it made people feel comfortable and at ease. There was also that calm and composed expression, and the hint of brightness and confidence hidden between the gentle brows. It suddenly made people feel that any beauty in the world was just mediocre in front of her.
"Hmph!" Mo Xiuyao gave a light snort. His gaze slowly swept across Tan Jizhi, and a dangerous presence came from his body. Tan Jizhi felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly took away his gaze from Ye Li's body. He stood and smiled at the door as he said, "This official Tan Jizhi greets the Prince and Wang Fei."
Mo Xiuyao raised an eyebrow and looked at him as he said, "Very good, your courage isn't bad." There were not many people that could still calmly come forward to bow at this time. Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but have a higher opinion of the man in front of him. But this still could not change his impending fate.
Behind him, someone moved two cushioned chairs in front of the prison cell. Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to sit down. Even in this dark and dirty prison cell, the two were still at ease as though there were hundreds of flowers blooming in front of them. Someone had sent tea as a gift, but the prison cell was clearly not a good place to drink tea. Mo Xiuyao frowned and took the teacup from Ye Li's hands and put it on the table to the side. Ye Li gave a faint smile and looked at Tan Jizhi and Shu Manlin to ask, "Tan Official, this consort and Prince have been busy these past few days and have neglected the two of you. Please forgive us. Are the two of you well? " Tan Jizhi grimaced and looked at Ye Li as he said, "Wang Fei is too polite. Tan Jizhi is not as skilled as the other.
Ye Li nodded and looked at him with a smile as she asked, "Then … … Tan Official should know what ben fei wants. What is Tan Official's answer? "
Tan Jizhi smiled and said, "This one understands. Wang Fei wants the Bi Luo Flower … … Wang Fei must have spent a lot of effort in this past year. But this one advises Wang Fei not to waste time on that person surnamed Liang. He won't be able to find the Bi Luo Flower. "
"Oh?" Ye Li's brows furrowed slightly. She raised a hand to rub her forehead and asked, "Why should I believe Tan Official? Or … … even if what Tan Official says is true, so what? " Tan Jizhi said, "The Bi Luo Flower is a sacred item of Nan Jiang. Does Wang Fei really believe that the Nan Zhao Royal Family would give such a treasure to a wealthy merchant of Da Chu State for safekeeping? Everyone says that merchants value profit. Has the Nan Zhao Royal Family not considered the possibility that he would take the treasure for himself? " Ye Li sighed and looked helplessly at Tan Jizhi as she said, "Tan Official, since you dare to use the Bi Luo Flower to protect your own life, ben fei does not doubt that you do not know the whereabouts of the Bi Luo Flower. So, there is no need for you to say so much. But … … you should know that before you find the item, anything you say is useless. "Tan Jizhi's eyes flashed as he stared at Ye Li and said," What happens after you find the item? Is Wang Fei trying to convince this one that the Prince Ding Mansion will keep its word? "
