Chapter 725: This Chen Takes No Sides
Chen Changsheng went on to tell him about everything he had seen and heard on the road.
By now, the old man had no choice but to believe him.
After a long silence, the old man muttered in disbelief, "How did it come to this..."
"This Chen finds it hard to understand as well," Chen Changsheng said.
"You could say The Prince is foolish, yet he managed to rise above the rest of the Seven Kings. You could say he's smart, yet he brought about this exact situation."
The old man fell silent.
Perhaps he knew exactly why things had turned out this way, and so he was unwilling to speak.
Mostly, he was just wondering how the world had devolved into such a state.
The empire was torn by war, and the common people always suffered in the end, but it was hard for him to accept that they were suffering to this extent.
