Chapter 634 - 631: Extraordinary Dignity_1
Bai Qingyan’s gaze turned towards the direction of the palace where the sounds of killing echoed loudly, but she remained silent.
The general guarding the city was furious yet dared not speak, tightly clenching his fists as he stood beside Bai Qingyan.
The direction of the palace in Dadu City was unprecedentedly lively, with sounds of killing, screams, the clashing of gold and iron, and the thundering booms of doors being rammed, all mixed together.

Bai Qingyan turned her head and loudly ordered the Bai family guard: "Go to the Court of Judicial Review and inform Minister Lu that I request all commanders of Anping Camp to come to the East Gate of Dadu City. Fire three flares to summon the soldiers of Anping Camp..."
