Chapter 213

~7 min read 1,290 words

The commotion outside did not affect the discussion of the few people in the courtyard at all.

"Lord Feng, I admit what you say is correct, but how exactly do we deal with the Ghost?"

Wang Ben raised his head and looked directly into Feng Quji's eyes.

He only wanted a solution.

Feng Quji's expression froze for a moment, and he was momentarily speechless.

If he had a good plan, he would not have come here tonight.

The Ghost was too terrifying; whether by wit or force, no one was his match.

"Two lords."

"If I can sit in that position, one of you will become my Prime Minister, and one will become my Grand General."

"One will be the number one civil official, and one will be the number one military general."

Hu Hai, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up.

His irrelevant words made both Feng Quji and Wang Ben freeze for a moment.

Immediately, the two understood Hu Hai's meaning.

What the two of them sought was the power in their hands.

And Hu Hai was telling them that if he could sit in that position,

the two of them would be able to possess the power they wanted.

Donghuang Taiyi's gaze fluctuated upon hearing Hu Hai's words, but he did not speak.

Beneath his mask, the corners of his mouth revealed a cold smile.

Could it be that this person thought that if he sat in that position, he would truly possess power?

He was nothing but a chess piece, a puppet.

Even if he sat in that position, he would only become a tool under his command.

However, all of this required solving the Ghost first.

Although Ying Zheng was not yet dead, his body had already collapsed.

He was not taken seriously by these few people at all.

As for Young Master Fusu, although he had already cleared the toxins from his body. **CHAPTER 473**

But as long as the Ghost could be solved, even Ying Zheng was not their match, let alone Young Master Fusu.

As long as Fusu and Ying Zheng were solved without anyone knowing.

Letting Hu Hai ascend to that position would be a matter of course.

"I wonder what thoughts the Young Master has?"

Feng Quji suddenly asked.

He was already more inclined to help Hu Hai sit in that position.

Just as Hu Hai said, he could give him the power of the number one civil official.

This was the power that countless civil officials dreamed of.

"I have no plan, but I have one requirement, and that is to eliminate Fusu as soon as possible."

Hu Hai said with a cold expression.

He still remembered the attitude Ying Zheng had toward him when he went to check on Fusu's condition that day.

Was Fusu the only son he had?

Was he not worthy of being his son?

In his mind, there was only Fusu.

Then he would directly have Fusu eradicated.

Hu Hai's hands were clenched tightly, and anger appeared in his pupils.

The few people present were all shrewd; how could they not see the change in Hu Hai's emotions?

"Rest assured, Young Master, as long as we get through this hurdle, we will definitely have Fusu eradicated."

Feng Quji guaranteed.

"That's right."

Wang Ben was not to be outdone at this moment.

What he sought was to lead the Wang family to a higher level.

As long as it was not treason, one had to choose one of the two Young Masters to rely on.

Fusu already had his own candidates, so the best candidate was Young Master Hu Hai.

As long as they could support Young Master Hu Hai to ascend to that position.

Then their Wang family would have the merit of supporting the new ruler.

Power and status—wouldn't they be within reach?

Xu Qi, who followed behind Hu Hai, narrowed his eyes.

His gaze toward Hu Hai also carried a trace of coldness.

Even if this person sat in that position, so what?

If he was obedient, they could have a living puppet.

If this person had other thoughts.

Xu Qi dared to guarantee that the Chief would not let this person continue to live.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion's subordinate, ever since being saved by Lu Bing, ran back without stopping for a moment.

He wanted to convey the news here to the Young Master in the shortest possible time.

When Lu Li knocked on Ying Mo's room again this night, a trace of coldness was already on Ying Mo's face.

"What happened this time?"

The tone sounded as if it were covered in ice shards.

"News came again from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

"Feng Quji's trail was also lost, and on the way to track Feng Quji, they encountered an ambush by men in black."

"Lu Bing seemed to see the signal and then changed course."

Ying Mo's expression moved; he did not expect that Feng Quji's trail had also been lost.

This night, first Wang Ben, then Feng Quji.

It seemed these two were not simple at all.

"What about the others?"

Ying Mo said.

He was asking about the other suspects from before.

"Wang Jian's side is very calm; there is no movement."

"The Meng family's Meng Tian and Meng Yi also received the news, but the two of them also have no movement."

Lu Li said.

"You said Wang Ben disappeared, but Wang Jian has no movement."

"Could it be that Wang Jian has fully entrusted this matter to Wang Ben to be responsible for?"

Ying Mo's brows knitted.

It was hard for him not to have this speculation.

After all, Wang Jian was old, and many things had slowly been handed over to Wang Ben.

To say that Wang Ben replaced Wang Jian to meet with the men in black behind the scenes, it was not impossible.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lu Li said.

He also had this speculation.

After all, in their view, Wang Ben and Wang Jian were together.

"How is the situation on Ying Zheng's side?"

Ying Mo then asked another question.

He had already released the news that he would take the culprit's life in three days.

If they were truly involved in the events of that year, the true culprit would absolutely not wait calmly.

The greatest possibility was that they would collude with others, like Feng Quji and Wang Ben.

But it could not be ruled out that someone would be driven by desperation to make a move directly against Ying Zheng.

If they controlled Ying Zheng, it would be equivalent to controlling the power of the entire Great Qin.

Through the power of Great Qin, they could briefly contend with the Ghost.

Considering this point, Ying Mo had already dispatched a portion of people to protect Ying Zheng.

At the same time, he could monitor the dynamics on Ying Zheng's side.

Although because of previous events, he had already let go of his suspicion of Ying Zheng.

But the lessons from five years ago were too profound, and they had already caused him to develop the habit of having everything under his control.

Even if he knew this person before him could be trusted, he would still keep an ace up his sleeve.

"Ying Zheng's side seems to have received the news as well."

"At the same time, Ying Zheng seems to have dispatched Zhang Han, who was by his side."

Lu Li said.

Guarding by Ying Zheng's side was the top-tier power among the Snow Dragon Riders.

Even Gai Nie could not discover the existence of these forces for a time.

This was also why they were so clear about Ying Zheng dispatching Zhang Han. **CHAPTER 474**
