There was dead silence both inside and outside the Vermilion Bird Gate.
The number of imperial guards guarding the city gate did not increase. It was the same as usual.
When Song Quan approached the city gate with the ironclad cavalry army, the imperial guards frowned.
The few guards at the city gate were the first to raise their spears and block Song Quan's advance.
The imperial guard's voice was solemn. "General Song, you have to remove your armor to enter the imperial city! Please get your soldiers to retreat to the vicinity away from the imperial city!"
Song Quan sat high on the horse's back, looking very arrogant.
"This general is under the emperor's orders to bring troops to carry out orders!"
However, the imperial guards insisted, "We didn't receive any instructions to bring General Song into the palace with soldiers. Please return!"
