Chapter 391: Feng Quji's deal, let the chess piece make a move

The street was empty.

The dim street, under the shroud of darkness, appeared exceptionally eerie.

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

As their footsteps quickened, the pedestrian soon entered a mansion.

"I have been waiting for a long time, come in quickly."

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

"Sorry for the wait, take me to see your master."

This person wore a veil, covering their face tightly.

The person who opened the door looked around to ensure no one was following, then closed the door.

Feng Quji was sitting in the study, looking at the books in his hands.

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

From a fringe 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.

Compared to the previous period, Feng Quji had completely changed his appearance.

His figure no longer appeared in restaurants.

"Master, the person has arrived."

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

"Come in."

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

The servant soon opened the door, and the man in black following him walked in directly.

"Master Feng."

"Why is it you? Did your master not come?"

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

Before, he was down and out.

That person sent a subordinate to talk to him.

He endured it.

Now his status was different from the past.

Could it be that the person felt his current status was still not enough for them to come personally?

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

The man in black continued.

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

"As for all matters to be discussed with you, I have the authority to make decisions on all of them."

This sentence from the man in black clearly told Feng Quji that his status was actually not low either.

After hearing these words, Feng Quji's eyes fluctuated twice, and the anger on his face subsided by several degrees.

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

As early as a few days ago, Feng Quji had received a letter saying that important matters would be discussed tonight.

Feng Quji himself did not even know what the identities of these people were.

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.

At that time, it was just when the Ghosts were making a huge stir throughout Xianyang City.

Feng Quji felt extremely panicked at the time.

If this matter were truly known by the Ghosts, I fear he would 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 did not intend to expose his identity.

Instead, they chose to cooperate with him.

His ability to gather Li Si's forces so quickly had something to do with these 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, wanting to completely subdue the forces in his hands was still somewhat difficult.

Feng Quji originally intended to only subdue thirty percent.

He did not expect 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 the relationship between the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery and you is not shallow."

The man in black stared fixedly at Feng Quji, his eyes carrying a certain light.

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

His relationship with the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery had always been private; they had never had dealings in the open.

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

Because of his downfall over these years, they had even had very few letters between them.

But this did not mean the relationship between them had faded.

On the contrary, the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery was one of Feng Quji's hidden pieces.

Like those of them in the political arena, they would absolutely not be without a backup.

As long as it was not a complete death, a temporary downfall could not determine one's fate behind the scenes.

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

Feng Quji's subconscious reaction was to deny it.

As long as he did not admit it, no one could know that he had a relationship with the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery.

"Why deny it, Master? If we hadn't mastered accurate evidence, we wouldn't have come."

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

If one couldn't see his facial expressions, perhaps Feng Quji could have seen a trace of a disdainful smile on this person's face.

"Coming here today is just to ask for your help with one thing."

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

The man in black's voice carried a hint of coldness.

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

Feng Quji's eyes flickered.

He really did not expect that the energy of this group of people would be so great.

I fear no one in all of Great Qin could find out that he had a relationship with the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery.

Yet he did not expect that this group of people could even find out this layer of relationship. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
