As Qin Yu and Little Black set out on their journey, within the headquarters in Xiyang Town, the moon shone faint amidst the sparse stars. Qin De stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, his hands clasped behind his back.
"The overall situation is settled!"
A fiery light shone in Qin De's eyes, clearly agitated. The operation to take control of the entire Northern Domain Two Prefectures was flawless, with everything from beginning to end falling within Qin De's plans. When he had intentionally met with Shangguan Hong to feign an alliance, it was all for this day.

Only in this way could the plan unfold to take control of the entire Northern Domain Two Prefectures in one fell swoop.
