Zuo Yuanhao suddenly interrupted Zhou Yang with resolute determination, drawing strange looks from Zhou Yang and Qin Tian once more.

Today’s Zuo Yuanhao is highly suspicious!

”State Preceptor, why are you so certain? What leads you to make this judgment?”

Qin Tian, from a commanding position, looked at him and decided not to beat around the bush, saying, ”Since you’re already kneeling and bowing, speak directly; say everything you want to say today. I am all ears.”

Typically, Qin Tian preferred to say ”I” in front of his brothers and trusted generals, even after becoming Emperor Qin, because he never considered his brothers as outsiders.

This time, Qin Tian used the word ”I,” which indicated that Qin Tian was somewhat annoyed.

Seeing this, Zuo Yuanhao took a deep breath and said, ”The reason I am so certain that we will capture the Imperial City is because there is someone inside the city who will help us.”

”Oh? Who?”

Qin Tian frowned.

”Long Yin.”

Zuo Yuanhao spoke out the two words that shocked both Qin Tian and Zhou Yang.

Qin Tian was shocked, not because Long Yin was helping him,

but because he didn’t know what actions Long Yin would take, so why did Zuo Yuanhao know and be so certain?

In an instant, the atmosphere became silent.

Qin Tian took a deep breath and smiled faintly, ”State Preceptor, saying this means you have private dealings with Long Yin?”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Yuanhao immediately bowed again, saying, ”I... I not only have dealings with Long Yin, I... I am Long Yin.”

Swish!

With this statement, Qin Tian and Zhou Yang were shocked yet again today.

Long Yin?

Zuo Yuanhao is actually Long Yin?

For so many years, how could Qin Tian have no inkling whatsoever?

Even in West Capital City, there is a comprehensive intelligence monitoring system, how could it not detect that Zuo Yuanhao was Long Yin!?

”Come on, State Preceptor, you wouldn’t joke about something like this...” Zhou Yang was somewhat incredulous.

Zuo Yuanhao still knelt on the ground and said, ”Prime Minister, I am not joking. I truly am Long Yin, so today, I specifically come to confess to His Highness!”

Zhou Yang was dumbfounded, turned his head, looked at Qin Tian, and whispered, ”Boss, this...”

Qin Tian was only stunned for a few seconds, and then everything related to Zuo Yuanhao rapidly flashed through his mind.

He took a deep breath, looked down at Zuo Yuanhao, and asked, ”When did you become Long Yin?”

”...I was already Long Yin when I came to join Your Highness.”

Zuo Yuanhao’s words struck Qin Tian like a thunderclap, even causing him to quiver inside.

If one were to speak of Long Yin, Qin Tian himself would be considered a lone wolf Long Yin, yet for so many years, he hadn’t detected any suspicion about Zuo Yuanhao!

For many years, it turns out that Long Yin has always been planting their people by my side!

It’s ridiculous!

Qin Tian found it amusing, shaking his head, ”When you first came to me, I was in East State, a mere nobody... Why, why did Long Yin choose you to infiltrate my side and hide so deeply?”

”I didn’t know initially, but later, I knew everything.”

Zuo Yuanhao slightly raised his head, looked at Qin Tian, and said, ”In fact, Your Highness, when you were in East State, someone within Long Yin saw through your identity and knew you had a profound connection with Long Yin, so Long Yin sent me to... assist you...”

”Assist me? Haha, monitor me, right?”

Qin Tian coldly laughed.

”It truly is to assist you, Your Highness, please believe that I came to your side without any intent of harm, I’ve always been wholeheartedly helping you.”

What Zuo Yuanhao said was indeed true.

Zhou Yang also noticed and said to Qin Tian, ”Boss, throughout this journey, it seems that the State Preceptor has indeed been dedicated, providing many brilliant strategies, absolutely showing no signs of being a spy.”

It’s true, Zuo Yuanhao has been indispensable to Qin Tian’s success today.

Therefore, Qin Tian uniquely promoted him to State Preceptor, becoming one of the most powerful people in Qin Empire, even having a higher rank than Duan Xiaodao, a brother who has gone through life and death with him.

This would be the highest praise, Qin Tian owes him nothing.

”Zuo Yuanhao, are you daring to say that you’ve been a spy by our side for so many years, without doing a single thing against us?”

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment and asked.

”No.”

Zuo Yuanhao replied almost without hesitation, ”I am not one to scheme against you but acted according to higher orders, striving to assist you in growing stronger.”

”I can vow, apart from secretly exchanging some intelligence with Long Yin, I absolutely haven’t done anything to harm you.”

”Even in exchanging intelligence, when I traded yours for theirs, Long Yin provided comprehensive intelligence about the Imperial City to me, which also benefits Your Highness. Long Yin only holds intelligence about you without causing any harm to you or the West State Army.”

While Zuo Yuanhao explained, Qin Tian was reminiscing.

No wonder, Zuo Yuanhao could always have insightful observations on national affairs, possessing intelligence unknown even to Qin Tian and Xiaozhuang, how could he as a junior General know?”

Back then, Qin Tian indeed had some suspicions, it was just, he never anticipated Zuo Yuanhao was a spy right beside him!

Qin Tian was silent for a few seconds and asked, ”Then, Zuo Yuanhao, why are you willing to tell me these today? If you don’t tell, none of us would know, you can continue to stay beside me, to spy or even to kill me.”

”Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Zuo Yuanhao said, ”Today I reveal my identity because I truly feel guilty inside. Moreover, I want to persuade Your Highness to deploy forces, convince Your Highness not to worry about attacking the Imperial City, so I must disclose matters related to Long Yin in the Imperial City, only then can I persuade His Highness to deploy forces...”

”Since you are Long Yin, you should know that I have long cooperated with Long Yin. To my knowledge, there aren’t many from Long Yin in the Imperial City, asking me not to worry about capturing the Imperial City, what do you mean? A mere few dozen from Long Yin in the Imperial City, trying to directly assassinate Emperor Xuan? Hmph, after the War God died, it seems you have no chance, right?”

Qin Tian asked.

Zuo Yuanhao said, ”It is not about assassinating Emperor Xuan, rather... there are already generals within Imperial City dissatisfied with the open slaughter from Emperor Xuan, this time, with Long Yin’s presence, these generals have chosen to join Long Yin. Rough calculations show these generals control at least seventy to eighty thousand troops.”

”This is an enormous force, Your Highness, when we are attacking and capturing the Imperial City, what result do you think will ensue with tens of thousands within the city rebelling and ambushing, killing themselves?”
