The other party seemed to be walking, but the speed was extremely swift, as if traversing great distances in mere seconds; one moment he was far away, the next moment he was much closer.
No time to think, this official within the Li Party, although not a pillar-like minister, could participate in this grand event, indicating his significant power and status in the court, spurred his horse to block the path.
The whip in his hand quivered, striking through the air towards the direction of the two figures ahead, he shouted angrily:
"Ahead lies the Imperial Palace, unauthorized people approaching shall die!"
On normal days, he wouldn't be so arrogant and insolent, but because this grand event was vital, and because... if successful, his future prospects would be limitless.
Perhaps envisioning the glorious future, being elevated amongst clouds, as a meritorious minister after the new emperor ascends the throne, the whip he swung grew fiercer.
