บท 465: A Royal Decree 10

Eastern Ling.

Daliang City. 

News that Pang Juan was dead had also reached Daliang City. Daliang City had always been considered Pang Juan's home and he enjoyed staying there all year round. His relationship with the Shen family was also pretty good and he had received no shortage of favors from them. Now, Pang Juan was dead. Everyone in Daliang City, from the servants in the vintries and inns, to the vendors who set up vegetable stalls on the roadside, to the diners and ordinary folk were all filled with immense anxiety. 

"There are plenty of rumors outside now saying that Mr. Pang is dead. "

"…"

"If Mr. Pang is really dead, Daliang City would be in danger."

Everyone began to feel utterly wretched. 

"What's the danger? You speak as if Northern Liang would dare to attack us." Those who did not care much for the state of the country tended to live a very relaxed life.
