The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Detainees

"New out find the wind.. Want to sleep but hard, so I walk for a while", replied Panji Tejo Laksono with a smile.

"Where is the road with such clothes? What do you think, Gusti Prince from where?", Gayatri did not believe the words of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I said from the street.. I had trouble finding the right clothes. This is just to take it.

It's night, I want to sleep Gayatri. Good night", Panji Tejo Laksono goes straight into his bedroom room leaving Gayatri upset because she is still in disbelief.

'There must be something hidden. Just be careful if you get caught'

The night is getting late. The sound of the night bird being heard increasingly makes the atmosphere feel more silent.

In the Duchy of Kalingga Duchy's Palace, Ayu Ratna could not close her eyes at all. The shadow of the handsome young man he met earlier seemed to be unable to escape from the eye patch.

'Duh Gusti Jagat Dewa Batara.

Why can't the shadow of that man escape my memory? Who exactly is he? Why did he appear in the palace?

Huh...

There must be something wrong with my brain. I want to sleep now...'

Ayu Ratna kept thinking about the figure of the man who last night had made a stir in the palace of the Duchy of Kalingga. Her soft voice continued to ring in the princess' ears.

"What is this thing called love at first sight? Duhhh...

Please help this servant of yours", Ayu Ratna smiled to herself when she remembered the voice of Panji Tejo Laksono. Daughter of Duke Aghnibrata was not immediately able to close his eyes until the morning before arriving.

The rooster's crowing spirit is unpretentious signifies that soon the Surya will rise in the eastern horizon. Although the rainy season is almost over, but there are times when thick black cloudy still hangs in the sky. Just like that morning, a thick cloudy sky dotted over the territory of the Duchy of Kalingga. Although the Sun has appeared in the sky, but only able to penetrate between the black clouds which is a sign of rain that seems to be coming soon.

The banner of Tejo Laksono wriggled from his bed while yawning widely. His tall body as well as Prabu Jayengrana is really a special attraction for any woman who looks at him.

Thookkk thok - thookkk !

There was a knock on the bedroom door. Panji Tejo Laksono hurried up from his bed and walked towards the door.

Krrriiiieeeeeeeeetttthhh !

When the door of the room opened, a beautiful face with a sweet smile was raised there. Luh Orange appears to stand while carrying a tray filled with warm water wash your face with a sheet of betel leaves following a cup of ginger wedang. Without waiting for the approval of Panji Tejo Laksono, Luh Jingga immediately stepped into the room and placed the tray onto a small table beside the bed.

"How many times have I told Luh Jingga?

You don't have to bother to deliver face wash water for me. You are not my servant, you are my future concubine" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

"The Prince's wrestling should not be much forbidding. This is all I do as a form of my sense of responsibility as a good concubine candidate.

Now Gusti Prince wash his face first and drink his ginger wedang. After that shower. Remember Gusti Prince will meet with Duke Aghnibrata. I don't want Gusti Prince's appearance to look bad in his eyes", Luh Jingga smiled faintly as she stepped out of the young prince's bedroom.

The banner of Tejo Laksono only shook his head while smiling at the look of the behavior of Orange.

"It is true that the prospective wife is considerate", muttered Panji Tejo Laksono while washing his face.

After bathing and dressing up, Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers had breakfast together at the front of the inn which also serves as a food stall.

That morning there were not many people eating at the inn's food stall, only a few pairs of people who looked like merchants from far away. Kalingga did have a large port in those days. Halong Port in Kalingga became the largest sea port of the Kingdom of Panjalu above Tanjung Salaka Port in Kembang Kuning and Lasem Port in the Duchy of Lasem.

Many foreigners came to Kalinga. Generally they are traders from foreign countries such as the State of Gujarat, Chola Kingdom of India, Champa Kingdom, Srivijaya Kingdom even to the Song Dynasty Empire in China. In addition to merchants, many Chinese Buddhist students stopped in Panjalu before continuing to India.

Panji Tejo Laksono, who was enjoying breakfast, was shocked by the commotion caused by a quarrel between a Chinese merchant and a merchant from Chola India outside the food stall.

Everyone immediately came out from within the food stall upon hearing the commotion.

"Owe just don't accept ya..

Mr. Pandya has gone over with owe. Give back all the silk you took from owe", shouted a fat man with narrow eyes while pointing towards a large tall man with a mature brown skin who called his name Mr. Pandya. He was Tang He, a large merchant from China who used to trade silk and porcelain ceramics from his country to the south.

"Acha..

I never cheat with merchandise. We agreed to exchange goods.. My ivory has you brought, where can I return the silk you gave me? Everything is in accordance with Mr. Tang", Pandya the merchant from Chola India did not want to lose.

"Basic bastards!

True cannot be forgiven. Yang Chen, love that lesson. Hurry!", cried the merchant Tang He loudly. A yellow-skinned youth with narrowed eyes immediately advanced. Quickly, that young man named Yang Chen immediately charged forward towards the Pandya Merchant.

Whhhuuugghh !

One hard blow led to the head of the Pandya Merchant. Immediately the large tall merchant shifted his body slightly to dodge until Yang Chen's attack only struck empty air.

Seeing Pandya threatened, two of his personal bodyguards immediately shot towards Yang Chen with a typical martial attack of their country. One of the personal guards of the Pandya merchant directly attacked towards the foot, while the other targeted the head.

Yang Chen who was using his kung fu science instantly repelled the attack towards the head while jumping backwards.

The fighting between traders was growing.

Panji Tejo Laksono, who was worried about the aftermath of the fight, immediately used his Ajian Sepi Wind and quickly dropped them for the fight to stop.

Whuuthh !

Dhasshh ! dhasshhh !

Oughh ! Auuggghhhh !

Eight people who fought on the street near the food stall were sprawled on the ground with bruises and broken teeth. The speed of movement of the Panji Tejo Laksono which was beyond their martial ability was really able to knock down the bodyguards of the fighting merchant in just two breaths.

Neither Pandya's merchant nor Tang He's merchant could hide their shock.

"If you are still noisy and interfere with the comfort of others, do not forget to prepare a lot of massage medicine", Panji Tejo Laksono patted his clothes while stepping towards the courtyard of the food stall.

Right at the same time, a group of soldiers of Kalingga Duchy City which numbered about 20 people came to besiege. Apparently someone reported a commotion in front of the food stall.

Senopati Ranggabuana who asked the soldiers of Kalingga looked towards the eight people who fell helplessly on the ground from his horse.

"Who did all this?", asked Senopati Ranggabuana loudly.

"Mr Ranggabuana, owe's men were dropped the same way" replied merchant Tang He as he pointed towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Ah acha Mr. Rangga,

"Hey you, tell me your reason why you beat up this guy?", Senopati Ranggabuana turned his eyes to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"They fought because they fought right. Almost harmed my people and the innocent residents of the Kalingga Duchy. If left alone, there will be victims.

Because they are fellow fighters, so I was forced to use violence to stop their fights", Panji Tejo Laksono calmly replied.

"Is that true, merchant Tang He?", Senopati Ranggabuana turned his gaze towards the Chinese merchant pondun.

"This is all because Mr. Pandya cheated the same, Mr. Ranggabuana. The amount of elephant tusks they carried was not worth the fine silk cloth we gave as his exchanger", replied the merchant Tang He quickly.

"Nehi nehi, Mr. Ranggabuana. It's all a lie.

We've agreed before. But suddenly, master Tang He wanted to take back the silk he had given. Of course I do not want to", said Pandya Trade immediately.

"That's enough!

Now you all come with me to the palace. Let Gusti Duke himself give a way out. And you young man, you also come to the palace", Senopati Ranggabuana orders firmly.

"But I don't know about it, Gusti Senopati..

I just broke them. Why am I also involved in this problem?", Panji Tejo Laksono looked towards Senopati Ranggabuana.

"Not much talk. Come or you will regret your stupidity" said Senopati Ranggabuana while running his horse towards the Duchy of Kalingga Palace.

Tumenggung Ludaka almost jumped forward if he did not see the hand signal of Panji Tejo Laksono. Demung Gumbreg who was about to advance was immediately prevented by Tumenggung Ludaka and then the mainstay of the Kingdom of Panjalu whispered something to Demung Gumbreg.

Demung Gumbreg immediately nodded in understanding and undoed his intention to attack.

The soldiers of the Duchy of Kalingga immediately led the quarrelling merchants with Panji Tejo Laksono to the palace like a prisoner even though not tied with a rope.

At the pendopo paseban agung Kalingga Duchy, the merchants with Panji Tejo Laksono were ordered to sit neatly waiting for the arrival of Duke Aghnibrata.

A burly middle-aged man with a thick mustache ran across his cheek with a woman who was his empress entering the grand pendopo. After the Duke of Aghnibrata sat on the throne of the Duchy of Kalingga, Senopati Ranggabuana immediately reported the events that had occurred in front of the city square.

Mmmmmm...

"so apparently...

So you are the one who broke them a good boy?", asked Duke Aghnibrata as he looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Please forgive Gusti Duke,

I was lucky to break up the dispute between them. So I don't know at all about what is the point of their problems. I wounded them also because their fights threatened the lives of the people around the place", Panji Tejo Laksono saluted Duke Aghnibrata.

"Hehehe you're really humble..

It was not easy to defeat eight bodyguards like them. You must have high kanuragan science.

Now try to give me your consideration. After hearing the starting point of their problems, what should we do?", asked Duke Aghnibrata as he looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"But Gusti Duke, he's.."

"I didn't tell you to interrupt my talk, Ranggabuana. You'd better shut up and listen to this good boy, and then you can talk", Duke Aghnibrata raised his right hand. Senopati Ranggabuana who wanted to speak immediately fell silent and respected the Duchy of Kalingga.

"I think, I,

We should first calculate the value of the price of the goods they trade, Gusti Adipati. That way it will appear who actually cheated in the exchange of their goods.

I think it's fair enough for everyone", Panji Tejo Laksono saluted Duke Aghnibrata.

"Hahahaha smart is also you...

I just didn't think to that point. Solving your problem is very simple but most of the judges are not up to that point. Great you're a good boy, I love your thoughts", Duke Aghnibrata laughed loosely as he patted his thigh.

The loud laughter of Duke Aghnibrata provoked the attention of Ayu Ratna who was walking towards Keputren after coming from the palace kitchen. The Kalingga Duchy Palace's Flower rushed towards the grand pendopo of Kalingga Duchy followed by Sukesi.

Ayu Ratna immediately walked up to the throne of the Duchy of Kalingga and immediately sat down beside the left foot of Niken Sulastri after honoring the Duke of Aghnibrata.

"Sorry Kanjeng Romo, what made Kanjeng Romo laugh so hard just now?", asked Ayu Ratna who was curious about what happened.

"This is a young man who is good at solving problems, Ngger Cah Ayu.

The answer is simple but it is very fitting with needs", answered Duke Aghnibrata while pointing at the bowed Panji Tejo Laksono. Ayu Ratna immediately looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono. As soon as Panji Tejo Laksono looked up at Duke Aghnibrata, Ayu Ratna was surprised instead of playing.

However the daughter of the Duchy of Kalingga's Palace quickly hid her shock. However, Duke Aghnibrata's watchful eyes immediately knew something was wrong with the two of them.

"Ngger Cah Ayu,

Why does your face look so shocked? Do you know who this young man is?", asked Duke Aghnibrata immediately. Ayu Ratna was immediately nervous to hear the question of the Duchy of Kalingga. After sighing heavily, Ayu Ratna opened her mouth.

"Kanjeng Romo, that's him...."

Not yet Ayu Ratna finished her talk, a loud voice from the direction of the palace gate sounded.

"Autusan from Kotaraja Kadiri ask permission to meet!"

Hearing that voice, Duke Aghnibrata immediately stood up from his throne seat. Niken Sulastri also stood up. From the direction of the palace gate, Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg and the soldiers of Panjalu also Gayatri and Luh Jingga entered. This time they wore their oversized clothes complete with their jewelry and crowns.

"Welcome to the Duchy of Kalingga, Gusti Tumenggung and Gusti Demung.

Sorry if our welcome is reasonable because there was no prior notice", Duke Aghnibrata said respectfully. Of course, he had known Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg who had accompanied the journey of Prabu Jayengrana when conquering the rebellion of the Duchy of Paguhan.

"We don't need Gusti Adipati's festive welcome.

But why do you not respect Gusti Prabu Jayengrana at all?", Tumenggung Ludaka looked at Duke Aghnibrata with an unhappy gaze.

"Sorry, Gusti Tumenggung..

I do not understand what Gusti Tumenggung said. Why don't I respect Gusti Prabu Jayengrana? Where is my fault?", Duke Aghnibrata was confused.

"You see that handsome young man sitting cross-legged.

He is Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono. How can you take him as a prisoner?", said Demung Gumbreg immediately.

HAAAAAHHHHHHHH...
