But Feng Quji had just gathered a crowd in the eastern suburbs and had no time to react, so it was unlikely to be them.

After thinking for a while, Ying Yuan still had no clue.

He calmed down and decided to meet Li Si first before making any plans.

A quarter of an hour later, Ying Yuan arrived at Li Si's residence.

The lights in the mansion were on, and it was obvious that Li Si had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master!" Li Si came out hurriedly, his expression looking extremely solemn.

"Prime Minister Li, what happened?" Ying Yuan asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Li Si said in a deep voice: "Sir, things may be more complicated than we thought. Sir Hu Hai seems to have made some unusual moves."

Ying Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Hu Hai?"

Li Si nodded, his face solemn: "According to the intelligence I just received, Hu Hai and Zhao Neng have had private contact and seem to be plotting something."

"Zhao Neng?" Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold in an instant.

He was not unfamiliar with this name.

Zhao Neng was the new Minister of the Imperial Chariots who took office after Zhao Neng's death, in charge of the palace guards and holding real power.

More importantly, Zhao Neng was an extremely insidious and cunning person.

When Ying Zheng was seriously ill, he conspired with Hu Hai and Li Si to tamper with the imperial edict, forced Fusu to death, and later killed Li Si, becoming a powerful official.

Ying Yuan had already been extremely vigilant against Zhao Neng, but he did not expect that Hu Hai would collude with Zhao Neng so quickly.

"What does Hu Hai want to do?" Ying Yuan asked coldly.

"According to the investigation of the Imperial Guard, Hu Hai seems to be gathering troops in secret, intending to control the imperial guards through Zhao Neng." Li Si said in a heavy tone, "He has great ambitions, and I'm afraid he wants to compete for the throne."

When Ying Yuan heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Hu Hai, this is making arrangements in advance to compete for the throne!
Originally, he thought that he had already taken control of the overall situation, that Fusu had no intention of competing for the throne for the time being, and that the power of the aristocratic families had been completely suppressed.

But unexpectedly, Hu Hai and Zhao Neng secretly set up a plan.

"Zhao Neng, this old fox, is hiding well enough." Ying Yuan sneered.

He had known for a long time that Zhao Neng was not an easy person to deal with, but he didn't expect that the other party would jump out so quickly.

"Prime Minister Li, what are your plans?" Ying Yuan asked.

Li Si looked at Ying Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Sir, Zhao Neng is quite powerful. If he were to control the imperial guards, the consequences would be disastrous. The only way now is to immediately check and balance Zhao Neng and prevent Hu Hai from seizing power."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly. The imperial guards controlled by Zhao Neng were indeed a huge hidden danger.

But he did not make a decision in a hurry. Instead, he pondered for a while.

"Zhao Neng's strength should not be underestimated. If we attack him now, will it alert the enemy?" Ying Yuan asked cautiously.

Li Si took a deep breath, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master, this is the crux of the problem. Zhao Neng is extremely cunning. If we act rashly, we will probably force him to act early." Li Si whispered.

Ying Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. He understood that he couldn't be impatient at the moment.

However, if Zhao Neng is not checked and balanced as soon as possible, once he joins forces with Hu Hai to control the imperial guards, the situation will be difficult to control.

"It seems that Zhao Neng must be dealt with, but we have to find the right time." Ying Yuan said in a deep voice.

Li Si nodded: "That's right. We can't alert the enemy, but we can't just sit there and wait for death either."

Ying Yuan looked up at the night sky, his eyes filled with deep thought.

Zhao Neng and Hu Hai, their ambitions have gradually become apparent.

Now is the critical moment for Ying Yuan to take control of the overall situation.

"Prime Minister Li, how do you think we should act?" Ying Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Li Si bowed slightly and said solemnly: "Sir, I think the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation and prevent Zhao Neng's power from expanding. We can secretly monitor his movements, but it is not advisable to act rashly."

Ying Yuan nodded, this coincided with his idea.

He would not rush to act, but would stabilize the situation and wait for a suitable opportunity. "Prime Minister Li, how powerful is Zhao Neng in the imperial army?" Ying Yuan suddenly asked.

Li Si was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Zhao Neng controls most of the palace guards, and many of the high-ranking generals in the imperial guards are his confidants."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan sneered in his heart.

It seems that Zhao Neng had already laid a dense network among the imperial guards, and it is not easy to shake his power.

But Ying Yuan was not shaken by this, instead he became more determined in his plan.

"Prime Minister Li, don't worry." Ying Yuan said coldly, "No matter how cunning Zhao Neng is, he can't escape my control."

Li Si was slightly startled, then he smiled with satisfaction: "Young Master is indeed a man of foresight, I admire you."

Ying Yuan smiled faintly. He knew very well that he couldn't be impatient at the moment.

Although Zhao Neng is cunning, as long as he moves step by step, he will find the opponent's weakness sooner or later.

"Prime Minister Li," Ying Yuan suddenly said, "When you go back, secretly monitor Zhao Neng's every move, but don't alert him."

Li Si nodded: "I understand, old minister."

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep. Zhao Neng was a dangerous opponent, but he was not afraid.

Since the other party has already started to lay out his plan, Ying Yuan will never sit idly by and wait for death.

Late at night, Ying Yuan stood at the door of Li Si's mansion. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said softly, "It seems that we have to move forward with this game of chess."

Li Si stood behind him with a complicated look in his eyes, but did not speak.

Ying Yuan knew that Zhao Neng's appearance made the whole situation even more confusing.

But he had already made up his mind.

"Prime Minister Li, pass on my order to secretly strengthen the surveillance on Hu Hai and Zhao Neng." Ying Yuan said coldly.

Li Si bowed slightly: "Yes."

Ying Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold. He had already foreseen that the situation in Daqin would become more turbulent in the coming period of time.

Zhao Neng and Hu Hai's ambitions will not be easily abandoned.

But he, Ying Yuan, would never let them get their wish.

Under the moonlight, Ying Yuan's back appeared extremely firm, like an unshakable mountain.

That night, the situation in the capital city was quietly surging.

And Ying Yuan was standing at the center of this storm, watching everything calmly.

He knew that no matter how Zhao Neng and Hu Hai planned, he would be the one in control of the situation in the end!

He, Ying Yuan, will personally control the future of the Qin Dynasty.

No one can stop him!

After Ying Yuan came out of Li Si's mansion, his expression was still solemn.

Although he seemed calm and composed, he knew in his heart that the situation in the capital was far more complicated than it appeared.

The combination of Zhao Neng and Hu Hai means that the situation has quietly changed in secret.

However, everything is still under his control.

He won't let the other party succeed easily.

The night wind was cool, blowing towards me, seeming to bring a hint of chill.

Ying Yuan looked up at the dark night sky, his thoughts surging in his heart.

The old fox Zhao Neng finally showed his fangs.

However, the idiot Hu Hai actually chose to rely on Zhao Neng, which was actually good news for Ying Yuan.

Because Hu Hai did not possess real strategy and courage.

He is just a chess piece in Zhao Neng's hand. (End of this chapter)
