"Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, how many tricks do you have left?" Ying Yuan said to himself coldly.

The capital seems calm, but undercurrents are surging.

At this moment, Zhao Neng and Hu Hai's secret plans became more and more frequent, and there was a hint of impatience behind them.

They wanted to compete for the throne, to control the imperial guards, and to replace him.

But every step they take is under Ying Yuan's control.

At this time, a spy from the Imperial Guard hurried into the study and reported in a low voice: "Sir, Zhao Neng has been frequently entering and leaving the Imperial Army camp recently, and seems to be instigating the generals."

Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows and a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, Zhao Neng has already started." Ying Yuan said softly.

The spy continued, "According to our investigation, Zhao Neng has had some private contact with several Imperial Guards generals, and they seem to have reached some kind of agreement."

Ying Yuan sneered: "It seems that Zhao Neng is really taking every step carefully and wants to completely control the imperial guards."

He knew that Zhao Neng was now trying to gain control of the army by winning over the generals of the imperial guards.

Once Zhao Neng successfully controls the imperial guards, the entire situation will change greatly.

But Ying Yuan was already prepared and he would not let Zhao Neng succeed.

"Keep your eyes on Zhao Neng." Ying Yuan said in a deep voice, "I want to see what tricks he can come up with."

The spy took the order and retreated. Ying Yuan's eyes were cold. Zhao Neng's actions were becoming more and more obvious, indicating that he could not wait any longer.

But in Ying Yuan's opinion, this was exactly the first mistake Zhao Neng made.

"Zhao Neng, you are too impatient." Ying Yuan murmured to himself, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Chen Ping, who was standing by the side, walked slowly into the study room. Seeing Ying Yuan standing by the window, he said softly, "Sir, Zhao Neng's actions have begun to reveal flaws."

Ying Yuan turned around and nodded: "He is too impatient. This is our chance."

Chen Ping smiled slightly and said slowly: "Although Zhao Neng is cunning, he is not a military man after all. Now that he wants to control the imperial guards, he is bound to encounter some resistance."

Ying Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the loyalty of the imperial guards is not so easy to shake. Zhao Neng is too confident to think that he can easily control them."

Although Zhao Neng's conspiracy was well-planned, Ying Yuan knew that the loyalty of the army could not be easily bought with money or power.

He didn't need to do it himself. As long as Zhao Neng revealed a flaw, he would be defeated miserably.

"However, Zhao Neng holds great power after all, and Hu Hai is eyeing us covetously from behind. We cannot let our guard down," Chen Ping reminded.

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "I have my own plans."

Zhao Neng's weaknesses have already been revealed. The next step is how to use these weaknesses to completely defeat Zhao Neng and Hu Hai.

Ying Yuan was not in a hurry to take action. He wanted to wait for the most appropriate time, an opportunity to catch Zhao Neng off guard.

At this moment, a Jinyiwei hurried into the study, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Sir, Hu Hai's people have begun to act!"

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly focused, and he said coldly: "Go on!"

The spy whispered, "Hu Hai has secretly gathered a group of troops and has infiltrated the capital, seemingly preparing for an operation."

"Hu Hai?" Ying Yuan sneered, "He finally couldn't hold it back anymore."

Hu Hai was even more anxious than Zhao Neng, and Ying Yuan had already anticipated this.

After all, Hu Hai's ambition was there, but he didn't have much patience.

"When does Hu Hai plan to take action?" Ying Yuan asked, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

The spy shook his head. "The exact time is unclear, but their actions are very secretive. They obviously don't want to alert the enemy."

Ying Yuan's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that Hu Hai was not a complete fool. He knew how to hide his actions.

But for Ying Yuan, these covert actions were not enough to escape the eyes and ears of the Jinyiwei. "Keep a close eye on Hu Hai," Ying Yuan ordered, "and report to me immediately no matter what he does."

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

Ying Yuan sat back at the desk, and Chen Ping stood quietly beside him, seemingly waiting for Ying Yuan's next instructions.

"Young Master, will Hu Hai's actions be a joint effort with Zhao Neng?" Chen Ping asked in a deep voice.

Ying Yuan nodded gently: "It is very likely. Zhao Neng is making arrangements among the imperial guards, while Hu Hai is mobilizing troops outside. They are probably waiting for the right time and preparing to attack at the same time."

Although the alliance between Zhao Neng and Hu Hai seemed secretive, it was clearly exposed in Ying Yuan's eyes.

"In that case, let them kill each other." Ying Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and revealed a sneer.

He had seen through the plans of Zhao Neng and Hu Hai. What he had to do next was to wait quietly for the opportunity to come.

Once Zhao Neng and Hu Hai's actions made some progress, it would be the best time for him to counterattack.

"Mr. Chen." Ying Yuan suddenly said.

"What do you want, sir?" Chen Ping asked respectfully.

"You go and make some arrangements and let Bai Chun start to make some contributions to public opinion." Ying Yuan said lightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, then nodded: "My lord, you are wise. I will arrange it right away."

Ying Yuan sneered. Although Zhao Neng and Hu Hai's actions were secretive, they could exert pressure in secret through the power of public opinion.

He wanted to put Zhao Neng and Hu Hai in a dilemma and make them lose their composure.

"Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, you think you can hide the truth, but in fact, everything is under my control." Ying Yuan said coldly, with confidence flashing in his eyes.

Chen Ping nodded and immediately went to arrange the relevant matters.

Ying Yuan sat quietly in front of the desk, his hands folded and his eyes deep.

The storm is coming, and he is ready for everything.

Zhao Neng and Hu Hai, every step they take will be controlled by him.

The changing situation in the capital will eventually end with his victory over Ying Yuan.

This game of chess has entered a critical moment.

And Ying Yuan is the leader of this game!
Every move of Zhao Neng and Hu Hai would become an opportunity for him to counterattack.

In this undercurrent power struggle, Ying Yuan never backed down.

He will use thundering means to completely control the situation and make all those who try to betray him pay the price!

The Qin Dynasty in the storm is destined to be led by Ying Yuan!

Whoever dares to block his way forward will be ruthlessly defeated!

Ying Yuan stood in front of the study window, staring coldly out.

The early morning sun shines on the capital of the Qin Dynasty, illuminating a scene of prosperity and tranquility.

However, he knew that beneath all this, undercurrents were surging.

The ambitions of Zhao Neng and Hu Hai have gradually become apparent, and the game of chess has reached a critical moment.

"Young Master." Chen Ping appeared again with a solemn expression.

"Bai Chun has already made arrangements, and Juxiantang will release some information at the appropriate time."

Ying Yuan nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
