Wang Lixing naturally hoped for the same, but he was more rational.
"My fear is that the Barbarian Race will use the matter of that Crown Prince as a pretext to attack with their army."
"Aren't you overthinking this, Brother Xing? There's been no word from outside Mengshui Pass to the south. Things probably won't get to the worst-case scenario."
"Let's hope so…"
After those few brief words, Chen Yi bid them farewell and left the Marquis's Mansion, heading toward North City.
Although the city was currently in some turmoil, it wasn't chaotic overall.
The Noble Families and scholars, in particular, were worldly and knowledgeable. They wouldn't be stirred to action by a few mere rumors.
If they remained calm, the vast majority of the city's populace wouldn't panic.
And if the people weren't in turmoil, the few major grain merchants wouldn't be too anxious.
Chen Yi had anticipated this long ago.
That was why he had prepared for so long.
