The massive horseshoes embedded with iron crashed against the stone road, producing a resounding metallic clang.
Fortunately, the distance from the Duke Mansion to the Imperial Court was not far, and shortly, the structures in front came into view.
"To Lihua Hall!" Ma Yan rode around the main gate, heading straight for the small gate of Lihua Hall. The two of them rushed into the government office anxiously, fearing an irreparable clash between the two parties.
Yet to their amazement, Lihua Hall was empty, devoid of a single soul.
"No one?"
Ma Yan's heart sank, and he faintly heard a commotion from the direction of the government office plaza.
Immediately, he pulled the young master along, running over. From a distance, they saw Jinyi personnel gathered around the plaza, crowding in multiple layers.
