Zhao Neng's troops were trapped outside the capital with no way to retreat.

Inside the capital, Hu Hai's men were captured one by one by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, leaving them no chance to resist.

A carefully planned conspiracy collapsed in an instant amid Ying Yuan's thunderous counterattack.

Ying Yuan stood in the middle of the study, staring coldly at the darkness in the distance.

"Zhao Neng, this is your end." He whispered, his tone revealing endless coldness and determination.

This game of power has finally come to an end.

Zhao Neng's conspiracy was completely shattered, and Hu Hai's ambition was also destroyed in this storm.

Ying Yuan took a deep breath and looked up at the stars in the sky.

He knew that the future of Daqin was firmly in his hands.

Any force that dares to challenge him is doomed to failure.

"The storm in the capital has subsided."

Ying Yuan's voice was low and firm.

He won.

Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, and all his opponents will be forgotten by history, but he will continue to lead the Qin Dynasty to new glory.

The night in the capital finally returned to peace.

Everything is settled.

Ying Yuan stood at the top of this storm.

Not only did he control all of this, he also completely changed the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

The future of the Qin Dynasty will be written by him personally.

Ying Yuan sat behind his desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

After an overnight operation, Zhao Neng's power had completely collapsed.

This open and secret struggle finally came to an end with his thunderous counterattack.

But Ying Yuan's brows were still furrowed.

He knew in his heart that things were far from over.

Although Zhao Neng had been executed and Hu Hai was no longer able to stir up trouble, the game of power was never so simple.

"Sir, most of Zhao Neng's remnants have been eliminated, and there is no movement from Hu Hai for the time being." Chen Ping walked into the study and reported in a low voice.

Ying Yuan nodded, his eyes deep.

"Although Zhao Neng has been defeated, his poison remains."

"Although Hu Hai is stupid, he is ambitious. He will not give up this opportunity easily." Ying Yuan said in a deep voice.

Chen Ping frowned, feeling a little worried.

Although Zhao Neng's power had been eliminated, Hu Hai was still a presence that could not be ignored.

He still had the support of some court officials, and although these people had been weakened by Ying Yuan, they were still a potential threat.

"Young Master, how should we deal with Hu Hai next?" Chen Ping asked cautiously.

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Hu Hai wants to fight for power, but he is now isolated and helpless."

"Without Zhao Neng's support, he has no power to compete with me."

"His only hope is to find more supporters, but this is also his Achilles' heel."

Chen Ping nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you mean, Master?"

Ying Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.

"I want Hu Hai to reveal all his cards himself."

Although Hu Hai was ambitious, he did not have the ability to plan and act independently.

All his actions depended on Zhao Neng's guidance.

Now that Zhao Neng has fallen, Hu Hai will certainly look around for new allies.

"I know Hu Hai's character well. He will panic and take the initiative to contact those forces in the court." Ying Yuan said lightly.

"And these forces have long been under our control."

Chen Ping suddenly realized, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master is indeed brilliant."

Every step Hu Hai takes will become a stumbling block for himself.

"As long as Hu Hai dares to take action, we can follow the clues and force him into a desperate situation." Ying Yuan said coldly. "If he wants to compete with me for power, let him make a fatal mistake first."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement.

"You are absolutely right, sir. Hu Hai's actions will inevitably expose him. He thinks he has the chips in his hands, but in fact, all the chess pieces are in your hands."

Ying Yuan stood up, walked to the window and stared at the distant sky.

"Mr. Chen, this game has never been just a struggle between me and Zhao Neng."

"A bigger game has quietly begun."

"Hu Hai is just a chess piece."

Chen Ping frowned slightly, feeling confused.

"What do you mean, Master?"

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep and his tone was cold.

"This power struggle is not limited to the capital."

"The future of the Qin Empire involves far more than just these powerful officials and ministers in front of us."

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he seemed to have seen the more far-reaching situation.

"This chess game will determine the direction of the entire Qin Dynasty."

"And I will not only win this fight, but also completely change the entire situation."

Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Zhao Neng’s downfall was the end of the situation, but obviously, Ying Yuan had already seen further.

"Young Master really has a long-term vision." Chen Ping praised in a low voice.

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes grim.

"Zhao Neng's failure is just a link in the power struggle."

"Next, I will not only eliminate Hu Hai, but also those other forces hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, although most of the powerful officials in the court are attached to Zhao Neng, there are still some people who have not shown up. They are the real hidden danger.”

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

“These guys have been biding their time.”

"They think they can survive in the cracks of power, but I won't give them any chance."

Chen Ping took a deep breath. He knew that what was coming would be a more complicated game.

Zhao Neng’s downfall was just the beginning; the real power struggle had just begun.

"Young Master, how should we deal with the next situation?" Chen Ping asked cautiously.

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep and his tone was steady.

"Hu Hai's actions are an opportunity for us."

"We must take advantage of Hu Hai's actions to completely draw out those potential opponents."

"They want to take advantage of Hu Hai's ambitions, so let them fall into their own conspiracy."

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.

"Master, what you mean is, to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Ying Yuan nodded slightly.

"good."

“We don’t need to do it ourselves.”

"As long as Hu Hai reveals the supporters behind him, we can remove all obstacles."

"They thought they could use Hu Hai, but in fact, Hu Hai was their biggest weakness."

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and was deeply impressed by Ying Yuan's strategy.

"What the young master said is absolutely true."

"Hu Hai's ambition will make him reap what he sows, and those forces hidden in the dark will also be fully revealed in this chess game."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Hu Hai is just a clown. The real opponent is always hiding in the dark."

“But they will soon be exposed.”

"I have already laid a trap for this game of chess."

"They think they are secretly controlling the situation, but in fact, their every move is under my control."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
