Chapter 705: Where Is Jianghu Morality
Long Zhongzheng had quite a few complaints to share.
The world was in turmoil, food was scarce, unreasonable soldiers roamed everywhere, and so on...
Yet when Chen Changsheng asked why he hadn't left for Great Xiang, Long Zhongzheng replied, "I was born a Jing person. With my country shattered and my home gone, I wouldn't find peace anywhere. I might as well stay in this chaotic Northwest. The days are hard, sure, but this life of scurrying and hiding keeps me busy enough to forget a few things."
To exaggerate a little, he had long grown accustomed to a life of licking blood off the tip of a blade.
Chen Changsheng expressed his understanding. "How long do you plan to stay, then?"
Long Zhongzheng thought about it. "I really couldn't say. I might just drop dead any day."
"Things are rarely that unpredictable."
Chen Changsheng offered a helpless smile. "Such things are better left unsaid."
Long Zhongzheng chuckled in agreement. "Who cares? The more you fear death, the faster it comes. I said it, so what? If I truly die, then that's just my fate."
