In a secluded corner of the Prince Ding Mansion, in a dark and cold dungeon. A disheveled man with messy clothes sat on the floor of the cell in a daze. Even though it was the end of the hot June, this underground dungeon still felt cold and gloomy. Compared to other places, although this dungeon was still cold and gloomy, it was still relatively clean and did not have any terrifying torture tools. However, the man with a face full of stubble was currently staring blankly, as if he had lost his mind.
If possible, he even hoped that someone would torture him and give him a good beating. At least this way, he could feel that he was still alive and that he was not the only person in this world. In fact, he knew that he was not the only person left in this world. Outside this cold and gloomy dungeon, there must be a lively and joyous atmosphere with people coming and going. However, this had nothing to do with him. He was locked up here and could not hear a single sound from outside. He could not even see the prison guards. No one would appear in front of him, and no one would speak to him. Even the daily delivery of food and water was done silently. He could not remember how long it had been since he had seen a living person or spoken to a living person. When he was first locked up, he would still curse loudly, but later on, he did not even have the strength to curse. Gradually, he forgot how long he had been locked up here.
A series of strange footsteps sounded outside the door. The man came back to his senses and his eyes flashed with a trace of light. He quickly stood up and ran towards the door. However, the long period of imprisonment and the daily meal that could not even be considered a simple tea and tea made his body weak. He only took a few steps before he fell to the ground. The door of the dungeon was opened from the outside and two guards dressed in black came in. One on the left and one on the right, they picked up the man and walked out.
The dungeon of the Prince Ding Mansion was very clean because there were not many people locked up in it. The guards carried the man through two or three empty cells and walked into a spacious hall. They raised their hands and threw the man on the ground.
"Young Master Tan, long time no see. Have you been well?" Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand as they sat in the middle of the hall, looking at the disheveled man on the floor with interest.
"Mo Xiuyao …" Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time, but Tan Jizhi's voice was a little hoarse. However, the way he looked at Mo Xiuyao was absolutely fiery.
Mo Xiuyao also didn't care about Tan Jizhi's gaze that seemed to want to tear him apart. He smiled faintly and said, "I came here today to tell Young Master Tan some good news."
Tan Jizhi stared coldly at Mo Xiuyao. Of course, he did not believe that Mo Xiuyao would tell him any good news. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Young Master Tan, you may leave now."
"What?" Tan Jizhi was stunned, unable to react for a moment.
"I said that from today onwards, Young Master Tan is free. He didn't have to stay in this dungeon anymore. Or was Young Master Tan addicted to staying here? You don't want to leave? "Mo Xiuyao repeated patiently.
"You … would be so, so kind? Let me out? " After not speaking for so long, Tan Jizhi's words were a little incoherent. However, after a few sentences, he recovered. "What's your goal?"
Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, your brain hasn't gone bad after being locked up for so long." Of course, he wouldn't let him out without any conditions.
"Your conditions?" Tan Jizhi asked. At this moment, he even felt that no matter what Mo Xiuyao said, he would agree to it. Only those who had truly lost their freedom would understand the value of freedom. Similarly, he didn't want to stay in that cell where he was the only one who was always quiet.
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Ren Qining is in Glass City right now. Young Master Tan, I have always been curious. Between you and Ren Qining, who is the last descendant of the royal family, Lin Yuan? Or are you both … or are you both not? "Tan Jizhi's expression changed, and he said in a low voice," Of course it's me! " Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that after being locked up for two years, Tan Jizhi's ambition still hadn't been completely wiped out. However, this was good. If he really didn't have anything left, then Tan Jizhi would be useless.
"Is that so? Ren Qining doesn't think so. She is now the King of the Northern Region. Who knows when she might change back to the previous dynasty's title. Although I don't think the chances are high, at least it's better than you, right? "Mo Xiuyao smiled.
Tan Jizhi's expression changed. He stared at Mo Xiuyao and said, "You want me to help you deal with Ren Qining."
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. No matter if you agree or not, I will let you out. You can also choose to help Ren Qining go against I after you leave. I just don't know if Ren Qining will accept you or not. "
Actually, the answer was very obvious. If Tan Jizhi was someone else, Ren Qining might have put him in an important position. However, their identities made it impossible for them to coexist. There was only one Lin Yuan, a descendant of the previous dynasty. They both knew that one of them was fake. Therefore, the one who survived was the real one.
Tan Jizhi was silent for a while. Then he asked, "Even if I agree, what's the use? You said it yourself. He is now the King of the Northern Region. And I … "Tan Jizhi laughed self-deprecatingly and said," I am a prisoner of the Prince Ding Mansion. " Mo Xiuyao said, "I don't think you can kill Ren Qining. You just need to give him some trouble. As for other things, there will naturally be someone else to do it. "
"You're not afraid that I will go back on my word after I leave?" Tan Jizhi asked.
Mo Xiuyao shrugged and said, "So what if you go back on your word? Doctor Lin saved Li Li and Xiao Bao's lives. For his sake, I won't kill you. But … if you do something you shouldn't do … I have already repaid Doctor Lin for saving my life. "If Tan Jizhi did anything else, then he wouldn't be embarrassed to kill him.
"My father …" When Doctor Lin was mentioned, Tan Jizhi couldn't help but be stunned. That year in the tomb of the previous dynasty, he had already cut off all ties with Doctor Lin. He didn't expect that he would still be alive after falling into Mo Xiuyao's hands. It was all thanks to him. After thinking for a while, Tan Jizhi finally nodded and said, "I promise you." No matter what, he couldn't go back to the prison. He suspected that if Mo Xiuyao didn't come back in a year, he wouldn't be able to bear it and would commit suicide.
Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. Li Li, I'll leave him to your arrangements. "
Ye Li nodded and said to Tan Jizhi with a smile, "After Young Master Tan goes out, you should settle down and take care of your body. After that, there will naturally be someone to find you."
Tan Jizhi looked at Ye Li and nodded, "Thank you, Princess."
Ye Li thought for a while and said, "If Young Master Tan has time, you can go see Doctor Lin. He has opened a medical clinic in the city. "Tan Jizhi shook his head and said," Let's forget it. We have nothing to do with each other. "
Hearing him say so, Ye Li didn't force him. In fact, if Doctor Lin and Tan Jizhi didn't have anything to do with each other, then their lives would be more stable.
