Chapter 2184 - 2187: Meeting the Fourteenth Prince

Zuo Yuanhao's words made Qin Tian and Zhou Yang fall into deep thought.

So, Long Yin hadn't acted for so long because they were plotting something like this!

To take advantage of the instability in the Imperial Capital Army and public sentiment, planning a big rebellion!

Qin Tian took a deep breath, just about to speak, but then something else came to mind, and he looked at Zuo Yuanhao with a calm gaze.

Qin Tian thought of a question: If he and Long Yin broke through the Imperial City together, by then Long Yin would also have its own army. Furthermore, with Long Yin taking the lead and occupying the Imperial City, how would the Qin Country army and the Imperial Capital Army coexist?

Whose is the Imperial City?

Is Long Yin collaborating with the Qin Country army, or joining them?

So, although cooperation is good, Qin Tian must consider the latent problems after the cooperation.

"Zuo Yuanhao, your suggestion is indeed very tempting. We can join forces with Long Yin and seize the Imperial City in a blitz. By the time the Dragon Clan reacts, the situation will already be settled... Hmm, not bad, but..."

As he spoke, Qin Tian lowered his gaze to Zuo Yuanhao, "But after we cooperate with Long Yin and capture the Imperial City..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Zuo Yuanhao seemed to have already anticipated Qin Tian's apprehensions, knelt, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, once the Imperial City is captured, Long Yin will hand over all the troops to Your Majesty, and furthermore, offer the Imperial City to you without question or quarrel!"

"This... Boss..."

Zhou Yang became instantly suspicious upon hearing this, and whispered, "Boss, Long Yin has always had little contact with us, would they really be this generous? I think we shouldn't trust them so easily, lest we fall into a trap."

The purpose of Long Yin is to kill the Ice Emperor and overthrow the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Qin Tian knew well, they were about to achieve all this.

But after achieving it?

Do they have no ambition?

Someone like the Fourteenth Prince, who hides so deeply, has no ambition?

Mister Shenyue, so mysterious, even the Fourteenth Prince can serve under him; would such a person have no ambition?

"Your Majesty, please believe your humble servant. I am willing to pledge my head; if Long Yin doesn't surrender the Imperial City to you, please behead me!"

Seeing Qin Tian and Zhou Yang's disbelief, Zuo Yuanhao hurriedly guaranteed.

Qin Tian was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Zuo Yuanhao, you've been with me for so many years, now, tell me honestly, what do you intend to do next?"

"Your Majesty..."

Hearing Qin Tian's question, Zuo Yuanhao looked up at Qin Tian and said, "Your Majesty, today I voluntarily confess to you, I have already expressed my loyalty. I want to follow Your Majesty forever and restore peace to the Spiritual Domain Continent!"

"State Preceptor, you're one of Long Yin, and Long Yin has always held itself in high regard, even the Ice Emperors couldn't make them yield. Would they let you follow us?" Zhou Yang asked.

"They will, it's already been settled, they definitely will."

Zuo Yuanhao asserted firmly, "Your Majesty worries that after capturing the Imperial City, Long Yin might cause trouble. Please rest assured, Mister Shenyue has already made the final decision that once the Imperial City is captured, Long Yin will disband, and those willing to follow Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty accepts, can be directly incorporated under your command."

"For those unwilling, they'll be given severance pay and disbanded on the spot!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Zuo Yuanhao's words left Qin Tian and Zhou Yang with looks of disbelief on their faces.

Capture the Imperial City and disband Long Yin?

How is that possible!

"State Preceptor, what you are saying so certainly makes me more skeptical."

Qin Tian smiled faintly, "I feel like your status in Long Yin isn't low?"

"I... I can speak in Long Yin," Zuo Yuanhao replied.

He knew so much about Long Yin, his status couldn't be low.

Furthermore, Long Yin dared to send him to spy on Qin Tian, naturally having extreme trust in Zuo Yuanhao's ability to avoid Qin Tian's eyes and lurk indefinitely.

Qin Tian recalled Zuo Yuanhao mentioning that someone from Long Yin had sent him to spy, so he asked, "Can you tell me, in Long Yin, who sent you to spy on me initially? And who decided to disband Long Yin?"

"This..."

Hearing this question, Zuo Yuanhao hesitated.

He could quickly answer the previous questions, but upon hearing this one, after a long pause, he looked up at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian chuckled: "Don't tell me that I'll know in due time, hmm, the Fourteenth Prince is one of your Long Yin people, he also said the same thing to me..."

"It was him, Your Majesty."

Zuo Yuanhao interrupted Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was startled upon hearing this, it really was the Fourteenth Prince!

"Why would he do this?" Zhou Yang asked eagerly.

"To help Your Majesty..."

Zuo Yuanhao said, taking a deep breath, "Your Majesty, please believe that whether it's Mister Shenyue, the Fourteenth Prince, or I, all aim to aid Your Majesty with absolutely no ulterior motives!"

Seeing Qin Tian staring at him without speaking, the clever Zuo Yuanhao immediately said, "Your Majesty might now ask why the Fourteenth Prince wants to help you, or you might have many questions regarding Mister Shenyue and the Fourteenth Prince."

"Your Majesty, for those questions, I suggest you directly ask the Fourteenth Prince, he can give you satisfactory answers. I dare not speak on these matters without authority."

Qin Tian laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Haha, are all you Long Yin people fond of mystifying things? I mentioned, I have asked the Fourteenth Prince twice, each time he said the time is not right, temporarily unable to tell me, I cannot get the truth from him."

"The time has come, Your Majesty."

Zuo Yuanhao said, "Now, should be the right time. If Your Majesty trusts me, please allow me to arrange a meeting between you and the Fourteenth Prince, how about it?"

"Many matters require the Fourteenth Prince's decision, need him to say them personally."

Zuo Yuanhao stared at Qin Tian, and Qin Tian also looked back at him.

"Okay. You arrange it."

Qin Tian nodded in agreement, no matter what, not to mention letting the Fourteenth Prince explain any truth, just for the joint attack on the Imperial City, if the Fourteenth Prince can make decisions, a meeting with him is necessary for Qin Tian.

After Zuo Yuanhao stepped down, Zhou Yang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Zuo Yuanhao is deep and cunning, although I don't see what he really wants, or what his purpose is, yet at this time, for him to invite you out, must not let down our guard. Long Yin, indeed has experts."

Zhou Yang feared that Long Yin might carry out a decapitation mission against Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said, "Let's first see how Zuo Yuanhao arranges it, and talk about it then."

Two days later, Zuo Yuanhao met with Qin Tian, saying the Fourteenth Prince was already on his way and set to meet at Maple Leaf Mountain in the West Capital City.

Since it's in Maple Leaf Mountain within West Capital City, Zhou Yang's safety concerns can be completely disregarded.

Moreover, this time, with the Fourteenth Prince personally coming to West Capital City, it is a clear display of Long Yin's sincerity.
