Sypnosis
On the day of Nangong Rang’s thirty-fifth birthday, a traveler by the name of Yu Ziqi offered a map as tribute. It was titled: ‘The universe around the nine provinces’. That was when Nangong Rang finally learned that the land on the other side of the natural moat was actually that vast!

He invited Yu Ziqi to a banquet, then he had him stay in the capital city for a number of days. Nangong Rang listened attentively to the traveler’s stories of the sights he had seen through years of travel. And of course, he enquired about things on the north side of the natural moat.

Hearing that there were great herds of livestock and countless war horses at the north, the Emperor who harbored wild ambitions had an idea: he had already gained the support of the court officials along with the love and respect of the common people. He would surely be recorded in history as a founding sovereign, hence there was no reason to let half of the kingdom remain unoccupied.
