An inn next to the palace.
"Why is there no movement?"
Tian Hu looked impatiently in the direction of the palace. He had waited here from the first day of the lunar month to the sixth day of the lunar month, just to wait for someone to take advantage of troubled waters, but in the end there was no movement at all.
"Brother, the emperor went to Long Live Mountain today, and he has no intention of returning to the palace yet. This is the best opportunity!"
Tian Bao looked at Tian Hu and said, the emperor took away a large number of guards during his trip, and now the palace only has the most basic guards.
"Go in now?"
Tian Hu was a little hesitant. As a thief, he was still a little afraid of the palace compound.
"Your Majesty, why should we fight over this thing?"
Zan Tongmei suddenly spoke.
"What's the meaning?"
Tian Hu looked at Zan Tongmei and asked.
"Your Majesty, let's just be ourselves, why take such risks for the sake of a false reputation!"
Zan Tongmei watched Tian Hu clasping his fists.
"What do you mean? Are you scared? We Hedong heroes don't want to lose face!"
Tian Bao was furious after hearing Zan Tongmei's words. At this time, someone actually retreated and disturbed the morale of the army.
"Face? Only the winner has face!"
Zan Tongmei looked at Tian Bao and said, the Tian Hu brothers are just too impatient. Coming to Tokyo this time is already risky enough, and now they want to break into the palace and seize the dragon flag. Are they not asking for trouble?
"You mean that Sun Lei, Fang La, and Wang Qing can have face, but all of us in Hebei don't have face!"
Tian Biao said with a bad look, if they do nothing this time, they will be at the bottom of two consecutive hero conferences. How will people in the world laugh at them?
"Your Majesty, what if we just let them take the limelight? If the imperial court goes to suppress them, we can develop with peace of mind!"
Yuan Zhongliang watched Tian Hu clasping his fists.
"Brother Yuan, isn't this just to help us Hebei heroes get a chance!"
Tian Hu held Tian Bao and Tian Biao's shoulders and looked at Yuan Zhongliang and said that his forces in Hebei were all pieced together. Yuan Zhongliang brought Zan Tongmei and soldiers and horses to surrender, so he couldn't be too disrespectful.
"Your Majesty, we all live in Jianghu, so why should we divide them into Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan, and Huaixi?"
Yuan Zhongliang looked at Tian Hu and said, Tian Hu has a very narrow vision and a strong regional mindset, and all his subordinates are from the Jianghu community in Hebei.
"If you don't recruit people from Hebei? How can we work together?"
Tian Bao said unconvinced.
"Why is Sun Lei's Liangshan so prosperous? His people come from all over the world, aren't they all united?"
Zan Tongmei said, since Tian Hu wants to do great things, he can't just rely on the people in Hebei. Since ancient times, how can anyone achieve great things just by relying on one place?
"You can't say that. We are just getting started now. The situation is different in different places. When doing big things, we are most afraid of someone being duplicitous."
Tian Bao said.
Tian Hu has now occupied the territory of the first state and will soon capture the lower Hebei provinces. Naturally, he also wants to recruit people, but they know very well that their capabilities are limited.
The Tian family is just a hunter in Qinyuan County, Weisheng Prefecture. Ding Wang, a member of the family, is good at martial arts and has some prestige. It was through chance that he became the power he is today.
Tian Hu knows his abilities very well, and he can still control some rough guys. If someone is capable and ambitious, he will be ignored. At that time, the foundation he finally built may have to be given away to make wedding clothes for others. , everyone in the world knows very well how Zhao Song started his career.
"Actually, it's not a risk. We have bribed the officer on duty and know the situation in the palace. The emperor is not in the palace tonight, and the guards have all gone to Long Live Mountain! Didn't the officer on duty say that the front hall is occupied by officials? Yes, there are always officials coming in and out!”
Seeing that everyone had differences, Tian Ding immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, he is a junior here, and speaking soft words will not damage Tian Hu's dignity, but can also appease everyone.
After hearing Tian Ding's words, everyone's mood relaxed. It was indeed safer to bribe people and get the information.
"Then let's do it tonight!"
Seeing that no one was speaking, Tian Hu immediately agreed.
After dark, Tian Ding came from the sixth-rank official's office wearing a scarlet suit and pretended to be an official of Youwen Palace.
Tian Ding arrived at Youye Gate smoothly all the way. An official from the sixth rank could not go through the main gate like Xuande Gate without being summoned.
When the guard at the door saw the sixth-grade official uniform, he didn't stop him and let him in directly.
The guards have been busy these days, and the New Year has not been good. It is dark now, and there are no officials on duty. They directly ignore Tian Ding who enters the palace. Anyway, the harem and the front hall are separated, and there are guards in the harem, so those Go ahead and get busy.
Entering the palace, Tian Ding breathed a long sigh of relief. His heartbeat was pounding just now, for fear of being stopped by the guards.
"Is this the palace?"
Looking at the magnificent palace with lanterns hanging all around, Tian Ding felt dizzy and an unreal feeling rose in his heart.
"If one day..."
Tian Ding suddenly had an idea in his mind. If Tian Hu conquered the world and became emperor, then he would be the crown prince, and the palace would be his in the future.
"me……"
Cold sweat broke out from Tian Ding's back. He was frightened by his own thoughts, but once the thought came up, he couldn't get rid of it.
Looking at the palace maids carrying dinner plates in the palace corridor in the distance, the eunuchs carrying lanterns, and the patrolling guards in groups. Tian Ding's thoughts became more and more ingrained.
"Which palace are you an official from?"
Several patrolling guards happened to come over. Seeing an official in crimson official uniform standing in a daze, they stepped forward to ask.
"I am a casual official of Youwen Palace. I have something to come to the palace for!"
Tian Ding's heart tightened and he quickly spoke.
"Youwendian is over there!"
When the guards heard this, they saw that Tian Ding was young and thought he had just been promoted, so they didn't suspect anything.
"Thank you!"
Tian Ding hurriedly clasped his fists and walked towards Youwen Palace, but when the guards walked away, he walked towards Daqing Palace again.
There were indeed not many guards in the front hall at night, and Tian Ding quickly arrived at the side entrance of Daqing Hall.
"Amitabha!"
Just when Tian Ding was about to sneak into the Daqing Hall, a Buddhist chant suddenly sounded.
"You are! Mingjiao Deng Yuanjue!"
Tian Ding recognized the person immediately. Deng Yuanjue had appeared at the Liangshanbo Heroes Conference. However, at this time, Deng Yuanjue was wearing a yellow monk's robe, a red cassock, and a monk's hat. He had a compassionate face. He was really a Taoist. Eminent monk.
"Donor Tian, are you planning to take action tonight?"
Deng Yuanjue looked at Tian Dingdao with a smile.
"You are also prepared to take action tonight!"
Tian Ding looked at Deng Yuanjue warily. He had seen Deng Yuanjue take action last time. The man in front of him was a master who could not lose in a fight with Lu Zhishen of Liangshan.
Tian Ding unconsciously took two steps back and approached the palace gate. As soon as Deng Yuanjue made a move, he ran into the Daqing Palace and shouted, attracting all the guards. They were all traitors. Once their identity was exposed, no one could survive. He didn't believe that Deng Yuanjue was not afraid of death.
"Donor Tian, what are you doing!"
Deng Yuanjue looked at Tian Ding's movements and knew what Tian Ding was thinking, so he asked quickly.
"Capture the Dragon Flag!"
Tian Ding looked at Deng Yuanjue and said, "There is only one flag, so two people can't tell it apart."
