Soon, Xu Ping'an arrived at the Imperial City Square with Situ Lie and two others.
By then, the square was already bustling with people, a vast sea of human heads.
The Imperial City Square is located between the east gate of the city and the imperial palace, situated on the main thoroughfare of the capital.
The main thoroughfare of the capital is extremely wide, a full two hundred meters across.
At this moment, a red carpet had been laid on the wide avenue, stretching out as far as the eye could see.
The sides of the streets were lined with neatly arranged iron-clad soldiers, carrying flags with flames, exuding solemnity and martial might.
The residents of the capital were held back by the soldiers on both sides of the street.
Anyone who dared to take a step forward would be executed on the spot.
Under such strict iron rules, nobody dared to recklessly enter the central area of the main thoroughfare.
