"Brother, please stay." Hu Hai's voice came from behind, with a hint of teasing.
Fusu frowned slightly, but stopped and turned to face Hu Hai.
When he saw Hu Hai's face with a provocative smile, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
"What can I do for you?" Fusu asked coldly.
Hu Hai didn't care. He walked slowly to Fusu and said.
"Brother, why are you so cold?"
"I just want to remind you that although our Qin country is now a big country."
"But this Qin State does not belong to you alone."
Fusu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He felt the provocation in Hu Hai's words.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Hu Hai, I have never thought of monopolizing Qin. If you care about the country, you should do something meaningful instead of entangled with me here."
However, Hu Hai smiled, as if he did not hear what Fusu said.
"Oh? Really? But I heard that my brother has been quite active in the court recently. Could it be that he is preparing for the future succession?"
Fusu's face turned pale in an instant and he glared at Huhai.
"Don't talk nonsense! I have never thought about the succession. I just do my best to share my father's worries."
"Really?"
Hu Hai continued to challenge, "Brother, can you explain why the ministers in the court all praised you but ignored me?"
Fusu clenched his fists and tried hard to control his anger.
"Hu Hai, if you have real talent and knowledge, you will naturally be recognized by the ministers. Instead of being suspicious and jealous of others here for no reason."
Hu Hai was choked by Fusu's words, but soon regained his composure.
"Huh, brother is really good at boasting. But it doesn't matter, one day, I will let you see my strength."
The argument between Fusu and Hu Hai came to an end, with neither of them gaining the upper hand, and a subtle sense of tension filled the air.
Fusu took a deep breath, turned around and got on the carriage. At a command, the coachman whipped the whip, and the carriage galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.
Hu Hai stood where he was, looking at the departing carriage with complicated eyes.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back home, a familiar figure came into his sight - Li Si.
He had obviously been waiting here for a long time, his expression was calm and profound.
"Lord Li Si?"
Hu Hai came forward in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Li Si smiled slightly, with a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Second Young Master, I have something I want to discuss with you. May I have a moment to talk?"
Hu Hai's heart moved, and he nodded and said, "Of course, please, sir."
The two men walked into Hu Hai's mansion one after the other, and the servants in the mansion bowed and retreated.
Hu Hai led Li Si into the study and after closing the door, he could not help but ask, "Master Li Si, what is the matter with your visit this time?"
Li Si looked around to make sure no one was disturbing him before he spoke slowly.
"Second Master, the current situation in the court is delicate. The eldest master Fusu's reputation is growing, and you are no ordinary person. I came here this time to discuss major plans with you to ensure that our future positions are not threatened."
When Hu Hai heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Oh? What do you think, Lord Li Si?"
Li Si pondered for a moment and said, "Although Prince Fusu is popular, he is too kind and may not be suitable to inherit the throne. And you, Second Prince, have the same wisdom and courage as him. If we can join forces, we will be able to turn the tide."
