Taishi An Kang looked at Wang Shouzhe with an air of subtlety.
However, Wang Shouzhe remained composed, his face unflushed and his heart calm.
"Why does it have to be this way, why must it be this way~" Taishi An Kang said helplessly, "The struggle of the Emperor's sons involves too many parties; can't I just quietly wait for my retirement to return home?"
"It's difficult." Wang Shouzhe admitted, "There are only seven counties in Daqian, and each quasi-crown prince wants to gain the support of the county forces to build their prestige."
"For Prince Kang, Longzuo County is now a 'surrendered area', a strong support base for Prince Anjun. The Lord Governor himself is also quite close to the Wang Family and Qiaan Family, frequently supporting and helping them. Even if you want to proclaim neutrality, let alone suggest allying with Prince Kang, do you think he'd trust you? Accept you?"
