Chapter 177

Lu Bing's brow twitched.

Observing carefully, there were at least eight secret guards hidden around Fusu.

He suddenly understood a little.

Perhaps this was the very foundation of why Fusu dared to come and handle the provisions.

And there was another aura that was somewhat out of place with these eight secret guards.

This aura didn't seem to be with these eight secret guards.

Yet it was faintly more powerful than these eight secret guards.

The aura Lu Bing had sensed earlier was the aura of this person.

"It seems there are quite a few people following Young Master Fusu."

Lu Bing said lightly.

Afterward, he hid his tracks even more carefully to prevent being exposed to these people. **CHAPTER 395**

……

……

…….

The streets were deserted.

The dim streets, shrouded in darkness, appeared exceptionally eerie.

At the corner, a hurried pedestrian appeared at the end.

As their pace quickened, the pedestrian soon entered a residence.

"I've been waiting for a long time; come in quickly."

Someone inside the residence seemed to be meeting this person, and seeing them appear, they immediately welcomed them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting; take me to see your lord."

This person wore a veil, covering their face tightly.

The person who opened the door looked around to ensure no one was following before closing the door.

Feng Quji was sitting in the study, looking at a book in his hand.

Ever since Li Si left, he had no more rivals.

From a peripheral figure in the imperial court, he had immediately climbed to the peak of power.

With one of the two Prime Ministers missing, other matters could only be concentrated in his hands.

Feng Quji during this period was a completely different person compared to the previous period.

His figure no longer appeared in restaurants.

"My lord, the person has arrived."

The door knocked twice, and the servant said from outside.

"Come in."

Putting away the book in his hand, Feng Quji signaled that the person could enter.

The servant quickly opened the door, and the man in black following him walked straight in.

"Lord Feng."

"Why is it you? Didn't your master come?"

When Feng Quji saw this man in black, his brow furrowed.

Previously, he had been down on his luck.

That person had sent a subordinate to talk to him.

He had endured it.

Now his status was different from the past.

Could it be that the person felt his current status still wasn't enough for them to come personally?

Seeming to sense the anger on Feng Quji's face.

The man in black continued.

"My lord, do not be angry; my master is no longer in Xianyang City, so only I could appear tonight."

"As for all matters to be discussed with you, my lord, I have the authority to make decisions."

The man in black's words clearly told Feng Quji that his status was actually not low.

After hearing these words, Feng Quji's eyes fluctuated, and the anger on his face subsided slightly.

"Speak, what is the matter with you coming here tonight?"

Several days ago, Feng Quji had already received a letter saying that they would come for a meeting on important matters tonight.

Feng Quji himself didn't know what the status of these people was.

But after this group of people came to his door, they directly revealed that he had also participated in the events of five years ago.

It was just when the "Ghost" was making a huge stir throughout Xianyang City.

Feng Quji had felt extremely panicked at the time.

If this matter were truly learned by the "Ghost," he would likely die without a burial place.

After all, he had seen the fate of Zhao Gao and those people with his own eyes.

Fortunately, this group of men in black didn't intend to expose his identity.

Instead, they chose to cooperate with him.

His ability to consolidate Li Si's forces so quickly had something to do with this group of men in black.

In this cooperation, Feng Quji also felt the vastness of the power behind this group of people.

Even though Li Si was dead, it was still difficult to completely subdue the forces in his hands.

Feng Quji had originally intended to subdue only 30% of them.

He hadn't expected that after this group of men in black made a move, he would accept all of Li Si's forces without any effort.

At this time, how could he dare to look down on this group of men in black?

"I hear that the relationship between the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate and you, my lord, is not shallow."

The man in black's eyes were fixed tightly on Feng Quji, carrying a look of certainty.

When Feng Quji heard these words, his pupils dilated violently.

His relationship with the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate had always been private; they had never had contact in the open.

No one knew that the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate had a deep relationship with him.

Over the years, because of his downfall, they had had very little correspondence.

But this didn't mean their relationship had faded.

On the contrary, the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate was one of Feng Quji's secret pawns.

People like them in the political arena would never be without a backup plan.

As long as it wasn't total death, a temporary downfall couldn't determine one's fate.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Feng Quji's subconscious reaction was to deny it.

As long as he didn't admit it, no one could know about the relationship between him and the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate.

"My lord, why deny it? If we hadn't grasped accurate evidence, we wouldn't have come."

A dark glint flashed in the man in black's eyes.

If his facial expressions weren't hidden, perhaps Feng Quji could have seen a disdainful smile on this person's face.

"We came today because there is a matter we would like to ask you, my lord, for help with."

"Since you, my lord, have already reached a cooperation with us, you shouldn't want to refuse us, right?"

The man in black's voice carried a chill.

It seemed that if Feng Quji refused him, their cooperation would be completely severed.

Feng Quji's eyes flickered.

He truly hadn't expected that the energy of this group of people would be so great.

Likely, no one in all of Great Qin could find out about his relationship with the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate.

Yet he hadn't expected that this group of people could even find out about this layer of relationship. **CHAPTER 396**
