Ye Li raised her eyebrows but didn't speak. Feng Zhiyao, who was behind her, smiled in surprise. "Nan Jiang's Holy Maiden? This young master has never seen Nan Jiang's Holy Maiden. This time, it's all thanks to Wang Fei. But … … speaking of which, it seems that Nan Jiang's Holy Maiden can't see outsiders, much less leave Nan Zhao's capital. Wang Fei, this isn't a fake, right? "Ye Li said with a smile," It's the real deal. "
Shu Manlin's face paled. She was deeply favored by the King of Nan Zhao. However, as Nan Jiang's Holy Maiden, she had secretly run to Da Chu State and let people see her appearance. This was an unforgivable crime in the eyes of Nan Zhao's people. If this spread, she wouldn't be able to retire in Nan Jiang's holy land. It would be good enough if she wasn't burned to death by Nan Zhao's people. This was Nan Zhao's rule for hundreds of years. Even the King of Nan Zhao couldn't save her. Moreover, she had a political enemy, Princess Anxi, who was eyeing her covetously. If this spread to Princess Anxi's ears, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Tan Jizhi couldn't help but frown at Ye Li's conditions. After a long time, he said, "Wang Fei is truly intelligent. This one has no choice but to admit defeat." His identity had been exposed. This meant that his ten years of business in the Chu capital had been destroyed. At least, he definitely couldn't go back to Mo Jingqi's side. As a result, Nan Zhao became his last bargaining chip. If he wanted to control Nan Zhao, he could only rely on Shu Manlin. Ye Li obviously saw through this, which was why she proposed the condition of detaining Shu Manlin. If something happened to Shu Manlin, even if he escaped the northwest, as long as the Prince Ding Mansion did something, he would be hunted down by both the Chu capital and Nan Zhao. At that time, no matter how big the world was, there would be no place for him to hide. Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. "Official Tan is overpraising me."
Mo Xiuyao stood and helped Ye Li up to leave. Ye Li smiled at Tan Jizhi. "Official Tan, you can think about it for one night. Tell me your answer tomorrow morning. Leave Shu Manlin behind. As long as this consort finds the Bi Luo Flower, this matter will be written off. "Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly," Do I have a choice? " If he could do it all over again, Tan Jizhi swore that he would never care whether Ye Li was Princess Ding or not. After leaving that damned Imperial Mausoleum, he would immediately leave the Northwest. The Prince Ding Mansion was never a place where Lin Luoran could rest assured.
After Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao left, the people in the cell immediately left, leaving Tan Jizhi and Shu Manlin to face each other in silence. After a long time, Shu Manlin asked in a trembling voice, "Jizhi … you, you really want to leave me here?" Tan Jizhi sighed softly and looked at Shu Manlin with eyes full of tenderness and pity. "Lin 'er, you can see that we have no choice now. If we don't agree with them, we'll both die here. Don't worry, as long as Ye Li gets the Bi Luo Flower, she will naturally let you go. "
Shu Manlin looked at him hesitantly, "Are we really going to give them the Bi Luo Flower?"
Tan Jizhi said softly, "No matter how precious the Bi Luo Flower is, it's still a dead object. How can it be more important than you? As long as we're alive, we still have a chance. Don't you think so? "
How could Shu Manlin not know that they had no other choice? Even if she didn't agree to stay in the Northwest, who would listen to her opinion? Although Tan Jizhi was only saying sweet words, Shu Manlin still understood that Tan Jizhi wouldn't abandon her. Since there was no other choice, she had to make Tan Jizhi feel even more guilty towards her. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "I understand. Jizhi, I will stay in the Northwest. You have to be careful. "
Tan Jizhi looked at her with a gentle gaze and said softly, "Lin 'er, thank you. Jizhi will not let you down. "
Shu Manlin nodded and said, "We've known each other for so many years, I naturally believe you. Jizhi, I'll wait for you. " Although they were in this gloomy prison cell, the two of them looked at each other with eyes full of emotions and lingering feelings. It made the prison cell feel a little more warm, but what kind of thoughts and schemes were behind this touching and lingering feelings, was not something that outsiders could know.
After leaving the prison, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li walked side by side. Ye Li hesitantly raised her head and asked, "Is it good to let Tan Jizhi go like this?" Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "What's so good about it? If Li is happy, let him go. If not, kill him. "Ye Li helplessly glanced at him and said," Killing someone isn't like cutting a radish, what's there to be happy about? Letting him go isn't a big deal. After all, the conditions he proposed are not bad, but I keep feeling that something is missing. " Although the Ding Prince Ding Mansion had a large business, it was a foregone conclusion that they would break off relations with Mo Jingqi. The Prince Ding Mansion's business was not completely without losses. One hundred thousand gold taels was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. Adding on the influence that Tan Jizhi had in the Northwest and the capital, if it was only for the matter of Tan Jizhi trying to catch her, this transaction was clearly worth it.
Mo Xiuyao copied Ye Li's usual attitude and shrugged. To him, killing someone and cutting a radish were not that big of a difference. "If he's released, then let him go. If he's not obedient, then just catch him again." Ye Li smiled and said, "Does the Prince think that Tan Jizhi is easy to catch?" This time, if Tan Jizhi wasn't unlucky enough to be found out by Mo Xiuyao in the Northwest, it wouldn't be that easy to catch him. For him to be able to hide by Mo Jingqi's side for so long without attracting anyone's attention, it was enough to show this person's ability. Mo Xiuyao was indifferent, "There's no one that I can't kill if I want to kill them. Even if they are fine now, there will be a day when they will die."
Reaching out to hold Mo Xiuyao's hand, the two of them strolled along the corridor. This time, Mo Xiuyao had really changed a lot. Ye Li couldn't tell if this change was good or bad. In the past, Mo Xiuyao was too deep. Even Ye Li sometimes couldn't completely see through him. Sometimes, Ye Li even felt that what she saw was what Mo Xiuyao wanted her to see. But the current Mo Xiuyao was more casual and fearless. Of course, there was also a strange stubbornness. For example, he didn't like Han Mingxi, so every time he saw Han Mingxi, he would release his killing intent without hesitation. Sometimes, Ye Li would even worry that Mo Xiuyao would one day kill Han Mingxi behind her back. Ye Li had also talked to Mo Xiuyao about this when he was in a good mood. At the time, Mo Xiuyao looked at her seriously and said that if Ye Li was unhappy, he wouldn't kill him. Ye Li believed Mo Xiuyao's promise, but she didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he turned around and released his killing intent towards Han Mingxi. Now, whenever Han Mingxi saw Mo Xiuyao, he didn't provoke him and just walked around him.
And now, since Mo Xiuyao remembered that he wanted to kill Tan Jizhi, Ye Li felt that even if Tan Jizhi was released, he would have a headache in the future.
"Prince, Wang Fei." Qin Feng appeared at the end of the corridor and bowed to the two.
Ye Li nodded and asked with a smile, "Is there any news from Su Zuidie?" Qin Feng frowned in defeat and said with a green face, "This subordinate is useless. Su Zuidie isn't willing to say anything other than Tan Jizhi's identity." Qin Feng felt that it was a mistake for him to underestimate Su Zuidie in the past. In all these years, he had never seen a woman who could endure torture so well. Especially when this woman was a delicate woman who would cry if she pricked her finger with a needle.
