Chapter 461

In Eastern Emperor Taiyi's courtyard.

Not long after Wang Ben finished drinking his tea, a sound rang out outside again.

A person dressed in a black robe slowly walked in from outside.

When that person saw Wang Ben's face, his figure paused slightly.

Wang Ben's gaze was fixed tightly on this black-clad man, seemingly judging his identity.

"Since you chose to come here to discuss matters, why not be more open and honest?"

Wang Ben said.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi above did not speak.

Feng Quji hesitated after hearing Wang Ben's words.

He did not know whether he should reveal his identity.

But indeed, as Wang Ben said, since he came to discuss, he should be more open.

Wang Ben did not hide his identity, so he really shouldn't either.

"It was this old man who was not open."

He chuckled twice and then lifted his black robe.

Upon seeing Feng Quji's face, Wang Ben was slightly stunned.

"Prime Minister Feng."

Wang Ben said it directly.

"I didn't expect Prime Minister Feng to also participate in the events of five years ago; you truly hid deep enough."

Wang Ben found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, just a while ago, Feng Quji was completely detached from the officialdom.

That status, I fear, was not even comparable to some of the servants in the Wang family.

Yet he didn't expect that he had also participated in the planning of five years ago.

"Prime Minister Feng truly has good means!"

Wang Ben remembered the previous matter of Feng Quji sending Qi Huaizhi to take action.

A cold sneer appeared on his face.

"Official matters need not be brought up here."

"Since you and I have both appeared here, naturally, it is for a common goal."

A faint smile appeared on Feng Quji's face.

Upon hearing Feng Quji's words, Wang Ben snorted coldly.

But he didn't say much else.

He also thought so.

Although they were at odds in officialdom, they had a common enemy at this moment.

Since they had a common enemy, they could naturally set aside official matters for now.

But this did not mean they had become friends.

At most, they were just allies existing for the sake of profit.

"Since everyone knows each other's identity, sit down."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke.

Once he spoke, neither Feng Quji nor Wang Ben chose to speak again.

"Are we still waiting?"

After waiting for a while, Feng Quji couldn't help but speak.

"I fear it will be soon."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at him indifferently and then spoke slowly.

At this moment, Xu Qi was leading Hu Hai, slowly sneaking out of the imperial palace.

The palace guards were stricter than anywhere else.

But yesterday, the Yin-Yang School had already made arrangements.

So although there was some trouble, they still successfully came out of the palace.

Before entering the courtyard, a look of displeasure was still on Hu Hai's face.

"Why is it so troublesome?"

"Prince, calm your anger; coming here must have the Leader's intentions."

Xu Qi said indifferently behind Hu Hai.

Upon hearing the word "Leader," Hu Hai could only suppress his displeasure.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Eastern Emperor Taiyi sitting in the seat of honor.

The moment he met Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze, Hu Hai immediately shifted his eyes away.

The shadow Eastern Emperor Taiyi left on Hu Hai was too deep.

Even though the two of them had to cooperate now, Hu Hai still held the highest level of vigilance toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

Upon seeing Feng Quji and Wang Ben, Hu Hai's gaze paused.

The shock in Feng Quji and Wang Ben's hearts was no less than Hu Hai's.

They did not expect that the last ally they had waited for so long would be Prince Hu Hai.

"I didn't expect Lord Feng and Lord Wang to be here as well."

A cold smile appeared on Hu Hai's face.

Thinking that these two people had also participated in the events of five years ago,

he suddenly felt as if he had grasped a handle on these two people.

As long as he grasped their handle, these two people could naturally be used by him.

"Prince Hu Hai, please."

Feng Quji immediately stepped aside, clearing the position in front of him.

There was no expression on his face.

However, when his eyes looked at Hu Hai, they seemed to convey a meaning.

Since everyone is gathered here, it means everyone participated in the events of five years ago.

Do you think you can threaten us with this matter?

Hu Hai naturally understood the meaning conveyed in Feng Quji's eyes.

The smile on his face immediately faded, and he returned to a gloomy expression.

"Since everyone is here, then sit down."

Once Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke, everyone else stopped talking.

"I think everyone here should know what our purpose is today?"

"The Ghost has already investigated one of the true culprits."

"But is this true culprit me, or you, you, or you?"

Every time he said "you," Eastern Emperor Taiyi would look at that person.

The person who met Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze would tremble all over. ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
