The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Guests Not Invited

A member of the Iron Tiger Sect who heard his comrade's words, immediately rushed to leave the wine shop where they had been stalking everyone who had entered Chenliu City. The location of this wine shop was right near the city gate making it easier for them to perform the task given by the Iron Tiger Sect Elder, Hauw Tian to them.

Slightly in a hurry, this Iron Tiger Sect member stepped up to hit the back of a beggar who was begging to everyone.

Bruughgggh..

"Oh asshole, why are you blocking my way, rotten beggar? Tired of life, huh?", maki the member of the Iron Tiger Sect while stroking his buttocks that are sick from stumbling on the street rock.

"Sorry sir, I'm innocent. The master himself hit me" said the beggar in self-defense.

"Shut up! Move aside now, otherwise I will beat you up", threatened the Iron Tiger Sect member after standing up from the fall. With the temple of fear, the beggar whose clothes were full of patches and tattered camping pulled over until the Iron Tiger Sect member immediately stepped away from the place while grumbling.

'Wasn't it a member of the Iron Tiger Sect who used to hang out in the wine shop? Does he seem to be in a hurry? Where the hell is he going? Ah I better follow him, who knows what's important', the beggar's inner self.

"Ah Yue's,

You follow where the group goes. I will follow the members of this Iron Tiger Sect. After you know where they spent the night, you better report to the branch headquarters quickly", whispered the beggar to his approaching friend as soon as he saw him being hit by a member of the Iron Tiger Sect.

The comrade who was called Ah Yue immediately nodded in understanding and immediately followed the movements of Panji Tejo Laksono and Princess Song Zhao Meng.

While the beggar who was hit earlier immediately followed the steps of the Iron Tiger Sect members who headed towards the south of the city.

After walking quite a distance, in the south of Chenliu City, this member of the Iron Tiger Sect entered a large house that was fenced in by a high wall. Everyone in Chenliu City knew that this was the personal residence of Governor Zhao Yun's family in addition to the Governor's palace he occupied. This Iron Tiger Sect member looked to the left right to make sure that no one knew he was going in there. Once he felt safe, he immediately pushed open the gate of Governor Zhao Yun's family's private residence and went inside.

The beggar who followed him immediately came out from behind a large tree that grew by the roadside after seeing the Iron Tiger Sect members enter.

"The only way is for you to break into Governor Zhao's family home. I will report this to the branch chief", said the beggar as he turned towards the North. Apparently he was a member of the Beggar Party of Chenliu City branch.

In an old temple on the edge of the northern city of Chenliu, a middle-aged man with a thin whisker that was bleached as it began to grow gray was lying under a shady tree in the old temple courtyard. His clothes were a lot of patches here and there, added again with a black bamboo stick in his right hand as if to be a sign that he was a beggar. He was Kong San, the head of the Beggar Party branch in Chenliu City.

Beside him were two young people dressed as a rasp. It seemed like they were disciples of Kong San who also earned the nickname as the Black Stick Beggar, a big name in the martial world of the Land of China.

The beggar who was following the members of the Iron Tiger Sect had apparently arrived at the old temple that became the main headquarters of the Beggar Party of Chenliu City branch. Soon he approached Kong San who still looked relaxed on the ground with a tattered mat camping.

"Chairman, branch,

I have something important for me to report", the beggar said after paying homage to Kong San. Hearing that remark, Kong San immediately sat on his tattered camping mat and stared intently at the beggar member, "Quickly tell me what's up, don't beat around the bush".

"Reporting branch chief, I saw the members of the Iron Tiger Sect after seeing a large entourage, rushing straight into the personal residence of Governor Zhao's family.

Isn't this suspicious? As far as we know, the Iron Tiger Sect is very anti-government-friendly" the beggar said immediately.

Mmmmmm..

"You're right too. It's very suspicious. The Iron Tiger Sect's head, Pang He hated Emperor Huizong for causing the death of his eldest son. He vowed not to engage in any business with the government. If you arrive at the Iron Tiger Sect together with Governor Zhao Yun, this is certainly not ordinary", Kong San said as he rubbed his whitened mustache.

Not long after, Ah Yue who was assigned to follow the group of Panji Tejo Laksono arrived at the place and reported that the large group entered the Palace of Governor Zhao.

Hearing the report, Kong San frowned. He had yet to understand the common thread of this event.

"It's confusing. You and Ah Yue, keep an eye on Governor Zhao's private residence. If there is anything quickly report..

As for you and you, keep an eye on Governor Zhao's Palace. Do not make any moves that attract attention. Do you understand?", Kong San's orders immediately.

"We understand the chairman" said the four people dressed in ruffled clothes who immediately went to carry out the task given by Kong San, the chairman of the branch of the Chenliu City Beggar Party.

Meanwhile, at the private residence of the Zhao governor's family, Hauw Tian and Governor Zhao Yun's second son, Zhao Wei were chatting in a private room after getting a report from the member.

"Chairman Hauw,

Huang Lung has already arrived at the Governor's palace. This was a good opportunity to snatch the Dragon Jade Stamp. But unfortunately Princess Song Zhao Meng was with them.

If we manage to get the stamp, then the support of the people of the Song Empire will be transferred to my father if he rebels. The head of the Iron Tiger Sect would also be able to avenge himself on Emperor Huizong. This we must not miss", Zhao Wei said excitedly.

"I understand prince Zhao, I understand,

Then how can I enter Governor Zhao's Palace? Security is very tight, not to mention General Liu King and Chen Su Bing who always keep watch around Princess Meng Er" said Hauw Tian while stroking his whiskers that resembled tiger whiskers.

Hearing those words, Hauw Tian was able to understand. In the afternoon, plans were also drawn up to seize the Dragon Jade Stamp that Huang Lung believed to have brought.

Governor Zhao Yun, who is the uncle of Princess Song Zhao Meng, welcomed his distant nephew with a variety of luxurious food and drinks. His ingenuity in sparkling tongues and seducing the righteous made everyone in the group of Panji Tejo Laksono pampered at night that day.

Luh Jingga who smelled something that was not right, chose to flick the Panji Tejo Laksono when he wanted to eat the dishes served.

"Gusti Prince, it looks like something has been put into our food. Should not be eaten", whispered Luh Jingga in the ear of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I understand Luh", said Panji Tejo Laksono while putting a bowl of food that has been held. The young prince immediately sent a long distance voice message to Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi using his inner power. This voice can only be heard by the person in the direction. Hearing this voice message, Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi immediately vomited food that was already in the mouth into the food bowl and immediately put the food on the table.

Seeing Panji Tejo Laksono put down his food, he, Zhao Wei who also participated in the dinner together that night directly spoke to Panji Tejo Laksono from his seat near Princess Song Zhao Meng.

"My brother, why don't you eat what we serve? Don't you appreciate the food that our palace cooks have cooked?", there was a tone of dislike in Prince Zhao Wei's words.

"Sorry Prince, my appetite is indeed different from yours as I am not a Han person..

I'm used to eating the dishes cooked by my waiter. So please Prince Zhao is heartened to forgive me" Panji Tejo Laksono said while paying tribute to Zhao Wei.

"Huh basic don't know thanks..

In the land of people, you should also appreciate the ordinances and customs that apply, not at will", Zhao Wei grumbled as he glanced sharply at the Panji Tejo Laksono. Seeing Zhao Wei disturb Panji Tejo Laksono, Princess Song Zhao Meng instantly cut off Zhao Wei's words.

"Sister Zhao, please,

Pendekar Thee is not Chinese, so of course his appetite is different. Don't ruin our meal for something as trivial as this. Let's continue the dinner", Princess Song Zhao Meng smiled faintly.

"Because Meng Er's sister has spoken, I won't be fighting about this anymore.

Everyone, let's finish all the dishes served!", Zhao Wei said as he lifted his wine cup. Everyone immediately followed Governor Chenliu's son's footsteps. The night was getting better.

After the banquet, everyone headed towards the place provided by Governor Chenliu's Palace. As the Princess of Emperor Huizong, Princess Meng Er of course earned a special place with strict security guards from General Liu King and Chen Su Bing aka Uncle Chen. Cai Yuan who served as the butler was placed not far from where Princess Song Zhao Meng rested.

While Huang Lung, Panji Tejo Laksono and friends get a separate overnight place from them. It seems that this is common because Panji Tejo Laksono, Huang Lung and comrades are only bodyguards. But actually this has been planned before as neat as possible.

Huang Lung immediately rushed into the bedroom feeling the drowsiness that attacked him. While the Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga are still awake, while Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi, Demung Gumbreg and Rakryan Purusoma who feel eerily because the Panji Tejo Laksono is still awake, force themselves to accompany their lord on the terrace of the resting place.

The night is getting late. In a few moments midnight will be here soon. The sound of two patrons ringing a small gong while shouting loudly about the danger that might occur, was heard from outside the palace walls. The sounds of night birds and grasshoppers sounded earthy as if the night was so calm and safe in Chenliu City.

From the southern direction of Chenliu City, dozens of people dressed in all black were seen moving rapidly towards Governor Zhao's palace. Two people who seemed to be the supreme leader, jumped up and down between the roofs of the houses of Chenliu City residents. It seemed that their martial arts intelligence was the highest among the group of people dressed in black-black with yellow stripes which was the typical clothing of the Iron Tiger Sect. They were both Hauw Tian and one of the two law enforcers of the Iron Tiger Sect nicknamed the Black Tiger.

In front of the gate beside the Governor's palace, they regrouped with a running entourage.

"Chairman Hauw,

It seemed like Prince Zhao had already arranged for the gatekeepers beside the Governor's palace. Look, the side gate of the Governor's palace is empty without guard" said the Black Tiger as he pointed towards the palace gate that was seen unguarded.

Hauw Tian spread his gaze around the place and what the Black Tiger was saying was true.

"We must not waste time. Let's go in", Hauw Tian ordered as he darted quickly towards the gate next to the Governor's unguarded palace. The Black Tiger and the members of the Iron Tiger Sect quickly followed the lead.

Gumbreg evaporated wide several times. The influence of sleeping pills that are put into the food he eats began to have a great effect on him. Although he tried to strengthen himself, in fact he was asleep with the body still sitting. Panji Tejo Laksono just smiled knots while shaking his head to see the actions of the fattened officer.

"Uncle Ludaka, Uncle Rajegwesi and Uncle Purusoma...

There were some uninvited guests who entered this place. Prepare to defend yourself" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he stood up from his seat as Hauw Tian and his followers began to enter their overnight quarters. The real Rakryan Purusoma was also affected by the sleeping pills he ate with the food, a little bit of yawning while standing and staggering.

Gumbreg who sleeps while sitting is unlucky. Rakryan Purusoma's staggering steps accidentally kicked Demung Gumbreg's back.

Bhuuuuu!

The harshness of Rakryan Purusoma's leg kick immediately made Demung Gumbreg wake up from his sleep and grimace in pain. While enduring the pain, Gumbreg gazed at Rakryan Purusoma, Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi who followed the steps of Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga who darted towards Hauw Tian and his followers.

"Aduuuuhh...

Hey, who kicked me in the back?"
