"What should we do? The world is about to fall into chaos. Will we be affected?"
"Who knows? But the Emperor has arrived in Beiyu City, and the new Emperor is about to ascend the throne in the Capital. It might not be long before a conflict breaks out here. We're not far from Beiyu City."
"Will they enlist soldiers? Or maybe increase taxes?"
"..."
Many villagers stopped working and gathered near the Village Chief's House to discuss the matter. The Village Chief's House was also crowded with people, with all the elders gathered together to discuss the big news they had just received.
"I wondered why Bai Yihong's family came back, probably they returned with the Emperor, but his son Erlang didn't return. He might be with the Emperor in Beiyu City," said one elder of the Village Chief.
Another elder expressed dissatisfaction, "Bai Yihong too, how could he not tell us about such a big issue? At least we'd have an idea of what's going on. Wan Qilao, did he not mention it to you?"
