Female Velvet Shade Disciple: "The troops have already left the city."
Zhou Qiang: "Mm. And our messages?"
Female Velvet Shade Disciple: "All sent, just as planned."

Zhou Qiang: "Your hands are shaking. Afraid?"
Zhou Qiang: "The Zhao family says this change of dynasty will come without bloodshed, and the markets will carry on as usual—"
