Chapter 63: General, Are You Going To Do This?
Hearing Old Madam Yang’s question, Yang Lihuo came back to his senses. He looked at his children and grandchildren and said, "Sit down."
After everyone was seated, Yang Lihuo said, "I have something important to announce."
Old Madam Yang could notice something was wrong from her husband’s tone, but she couldn’t tell what was wrong. While Old Madam Yang was still guessing, Yang Lihuo sighed.
"Pack up the things that are important to you before dawn. We will leave the capital in two days. Make sure no one knows about it. Remember, because we need to travel fast, so pack lightly." He said solemnly.
When everyone heard his words, they couldn’t hide their surprise. Yang Lihuo’s eldest son looked at his father and asked, "Father, is something wrong?"
Yang Lihuo looked at the women and children in the hall for a while, then at his eldest son, and said, "Don’t ask any questions for now. You just need to know that we must leave the Shang Empire as soon as possible."
Looking at his father’s gloomy face, Yang Lihuo’s second son knew that this decision must have something to do with the imperial decree his father accepted this morning.
He looked at his eldest brother and said, "Eldest Brother, let’s do what father said. Let’s talk about the rest later."
Yang Lihuo’s eldest son looked at his second younger brother and saw that he was nodding at him. A realization came to his mind, and he turned to look at his father’s tired face. After a while, he lowered his head as he was a little anxious, but he calmed down quickly.
