All people harbor destructive desires, especially when faced with beautiful and delicate things. Most would feel an impulse to shatter them.
At this moment, Zheng Fan felt such an urge. The sharp sound of horse hooves treading on the green bricks was so distinct, and the palace towers were so magnificent.
Such beautiful things, the symbol of a dynasty that had existed for hundreds of years... It truly would be a pity not to destroy them!
Fortunately, Chief Zheng was able to control himself.
Three hundred heavy cavalrymen rampaged within the palace. They encountered resistance twice: one instance involved nearly a hundred eunuchs armed with weapons, who were wiped out in the first clash; another involved dozens of guards, who were also quickly defeated.
Apart from these two encounters, Zheng Fan faced no further obstructions until he arrived before the Empress Dowager's bedchambers.
