[It's hard enough to insult Zhang Liao. Though with Chen Gong's bluntness, who knows? Too bad they'll never find out.

And there are reasons why Zhang Liao is so secretive about his personal affairs. He keeps them close to his heart, under lock and key. Honestly no one has ever approached him about his motivations or asked about his desires or goals. It's a bit...strange for him to talk about them to Chen Gong of all people. After having spent so many years keeping secrets, it did feel a little liberating to speak of them.

That man...I feel that he had lived well. He was respected by his village and his family, and feared by his foes. He craved not riches or fame, content with the simple life of a farmer. Perhaps...too content.

[He's hesitant, aware that if he should continue to explain he might give himself away. But what does he have to lose? Chen Gong is no assassin, sent to deal with a traitor's family for an act of treason carried out a few generations ago.]

...I believe he died because he did not attain enough strength. He walked the path of the warrior but he had become complacent, and perhaps that is why he could did not have enough strength to defend himself.

[A pause.]

In the past I sought strength as a means to protect. I sought a warrior's might to ensure that peace would return to the land. Now, after so many years...now I know not why I pursue it. I have caused nothing but hardship and suffering to the people.

[He's deliberately being vague here, but hopefully that's a good enough answer for Chen Gong to work with. He is the strategist, he should be able to magically read thoughts.]
