For a time, people were filled with anxiety.
Everyone's expression changed when they saw the Southern Depot's constables.
Even the emperor began to feel apprehensive about the direct power he had built up.
The Southern Depot is indeed a useful tool, but what if this tool were turned around and used against itself?
Can he handle it?

Fortunately, none of this happened.
The convoy arrived safely at the North Gate of Beijing.
The emperor looked at the majestic city gate tower and breathed a long sigh of relief.
