As it turned out, what Number Ninety-Nine proposed was this: "After we enter the tavern, we will spread the word that the Thirteenth Princess wants to see Zhao Jian, claiming we have urgent news to report regarding the Yelang Prince! Zhao Jian will surely come down to the front desk, and we will act according to the circumstances. Capturing Zhao Jian alive would be best; if not, we'll start a bloodbath!"
Upon hearing Number Ninety-Nine's plan, everyone agreed it was worth a try.
Seeing that everyone approved of his strategy, Number Ninety-Nine divided them into two groups: three people—along with Number Ten and Number Twenty, making five in all—would go to the back of the tavern and scale the wall to get inside. The remaining eleven would be led by Number Ninety-Nine himself through the front entrance.
