"Zhao Neng, it seems that you really can't stand the loneliness." Ying Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and revealed a sneer.

He knew that Zhao Neng would continue to make secret plans and try to seize more power.

But every step Zhao Neng takes will be closely monitored by him.

"Young Master." Suddenly, a deep voice came from the darkness.

Ying Yuan turned his head and saw Feng Jie walking towards him hurriedly, looking a little nervous.

"Feng Jie, why are you here?" Ying Yuan asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Feng Jie bowed his head and said respectfully, "Sir, I have something important to report."

Ying Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, motioning him to continue.

"I just received news that a batch of suspicious goods appeared in the East Market. They seemed to have been shipped from other places." Feng Jie said in a low voice, his expression showing some nervousness.

"Suspicious cargo?" Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Feng Jie nodded and continued, "These goods were transported by a group of foreign merchants, but after inspection, their origins are unclear. Moreover, there are a lot of weapons hidden in the goods."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Weapons?"

Feng Jie nodded quickly: "Yes, I have already ordered people to seal off the goods, but I have not yet found out the true source of these weapons."

Ying Yuan sneered, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

It seems that Zhao Neng not only made secret arrangements, but also used this method of privately transporting weapons.

"Immediately find out the origins of these weapons." Ying Yuan said in a deep voice, "Also, check all the merchants in the East Market to see if there are any people of Zhao Neng mixed in among them."

"Yes!" Feng Jie immediately accepted the order.

Ying Yuan looked coldly at the night in the distance, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.

The fact that Zhao Neng dared to transport weapons in the capital showed that he had plans for a big move.

However, Ying Yuan did not intend to alert the enemy.

He knew that Zhao Neng was still testing the waters and it was not time for him to really take action.

But he can't take it lightly.

"Feng Jie, closely monitor Zhao Neng's every move and report any abnormalities to me immediately." Ying Yuan ordered, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Yes!" Feng Jie responded quickly and left quickly.

Ying Yuan stood on the street, looking at Feng Jie's departing back, thinking secretly in his heart.

Zhao Neng and Hu Hai were ultimately enemies that he had to eliminate.

But before you start, you must be adequately prepared.

He won't act rashly, but he won't give the other party any chance either.

Ying Yuan turned around and was about to return to the mansion, but suddenly he heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from a distance.

He looked up and saw a knight in black galloping towards him, and stopped in front of Ying Yuan in a moment.

"Young master, there is urgent military information!" the black knight whispered anxiously.

Ying Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

The black knight took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over respectfully: "This is an urgent letter from the border. Send an order to deliver it to you immediately."

Ying Yuan took the letter and unfolded it quickly.

The content of the letter made his brows frown even more.

"The Huns are starting to harass the border again?" Ying Yuan whispered to himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The situation on the border has always been unstable, and the Huns often harassed the northern border of Qin.

But now, when things are turbulent in the capital, the Huns on the border have suddenly become active. This is obviously not a coincidence.

"It seems that foreign threats are also unwilling to be left out." Ying Yuan said coldly.

The sudden harassment of the Huns on the border must be caused by someone behind the scenes. Ying Yuan had a vague guess in his mind, but he had no evidence for the time being.

"Go back immediately and have the border commanders strengthen their defenses." Ying Yuan instructed the black knight, "If the situation worsens, report to me at any time."

"Yes!" The black knight took the order and left quickly.

Ying Yuan watched the knight go away with a deep look in his eyes.

The Huns were harassing the border, Zhao Neng and Hu Hai in the capital were secretly plotting, and internal and external troubles had begun to take effect simultaneously.

However, these are not a threat to Ying Yuan at all.

He doesn't care how many schemes and tricks the enemy has, he will still be the one in control of the situation in the end.

"Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, Xiongnu... none of you can escape." Ying Yuan sneered, his eyes flashing with confidence and murderous intent.

As the night deepened, Ying Yuan returned to his mansion, but he did not feel relaxed at all.

He knew that the next period of time would be a critical moment in determining the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Neng's conspiracy, the threat from the Huns, all the storms are gradually gathering strength.

And he, Ying Yuan, was at the center of the storm.

Ying Yuan walked into the study and sat quietly at the desk.

He did not rush to rest, but began to analyze every next move.

"Zhao Neng is just testing the waters now and hasn't really made a move yet." Ying Yuan thought to himself.

"Although Hu Hai is ambitious, he cannot accomplish anything by relying on Zhao Neng. He is just a clown at best."

"The threat from the Xiongnu requires greater attention. Their harassment is likely a joint action by foreign enemies and should not be taken lightly."

Ying Yuan sorted out the situation in an orderly manner in his mind, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

He will not be fooled by the enemy's conspiracy, but will always keep the overall situation in control.

At this moment, a spy from the Imperial Guard quietly entered the study and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the situation in the East Market has been investigated. The batch of weapons is indeed related to Zhao Neng."

Ying Yuan nodded, his expression calm: "Very good, continue to investigate, and make sure to find out every step of Zhao Neng."

"Yes!" The spy took the order and retreated quickly.

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep. Zhao Neng had already started to operate in secret, and he couldn't wait too long.

"Zhao Neng, since you have already taken action, don't blame me for being rude." Ying Yuan said coldly.

He knew that he had to act faster.

Zhao Neng's conspiracy must be completely nipped in the bud, otherwise the situation will become even more difficult to control.

The night wind blew gently, making the leaves outside the window rustle.

Ying Yuan sat in the study, silently thinking about his next plan.

The storm in Beijing is about to come, and he has made all preparations.

Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, and the Xiongnu, no matter how they plan, Ying Yuan believes that he will be the final winner!

All undercurrents will be defeated by him personally!

This storm is destined to belong to Ying Yuan!
Anyone who dares to block his way will be crushed mercilessly!
Ying Yuan didn't sleep all night.

In the study, the lights were still bright, and the desk was piled with various memorials and secret reports. The storm in the capital had begun to brew, and he stood in the center of the storm, assessing the situation and waiting for the opportunity.

News of Zhao Neng and Hu Hai's actions continued to be heard.

The spies of the Embroidered Uniform Guard shuttled around the capital, reporting every move of Zhao Neng and every movement of Hu Hai to Ying Yuan.

He did not rush to attack, but waited quietly, waiting for their flaws, waiting for them to reveal their fatal weaknesses.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the study through the window. Ying Yuan stood up, walked to the window, and overlooked the entire Xianyang City. (End of this chapter)
