Blind Devil
Chapter 78: The Offer of Cooperation

The large house where the Kahuripan soldiers gathered the guards of the village of jatijajar is now deserted.

Aria who occupied the former house of Sugriwa, the Ming merchant also ended up occupying the same place as Aria.

In the evening they gathered in the middle room, Andini and Andira as usual prepared food and drinks, this time they were helped by the servants of Sugriwa.

The look on the Ming merchant's face was disheveled, twice he saw the terrible slaughter carried out by Aria Pilong's entourage.

“Hai fat! Why does your face look so wry? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“I am confused master swordsman, how can I trade like this,” replied merchant Ming.

“What's really why? Didn't you have an appointment with Tumenggung Wirayuda to trade? Ask Wangsa to talk.

The Ming merchant took a deep breath, before answering the House's question.

“If Tumenggung Wirayuda heard of this massacre, would he still trade with me? Merchant Ming said as he looked back at Buto Ijo.

“Why are you glaring at me? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

The Ming merchant immediately bowed his head, after hearing the words of Buto Ijo.

“We kill, why are you dizzy? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“Decars Li! You're the one who spoke, I'm confused about what else to say,” said merchant Ming.

“Ming merchant is confused because 2 events happened, his trade could be threatened, not only trade but our lives might be threatened, because Tumenggung Wirayuda definitely investigated this event.”

“According to Mr Aria how? Li Ho immediately asked Aria, as he and Li Mei were convinced Aria was the real leader.

“What did the second brother say, not you who killed, why are you worried? Ask Aria.

“Master Aria! all causes must have consequences, Tumenggung Wirayuda must ask, why we are still walking with you after you kill his men, Tumenggung Wirayuda must think we are working with the master.

“Alright! Tomorrow we part, so that the group of masters is not affected by problems,” Aria replied.

“Everything has happened Mr. Aria , many people are seeing the road master with us, if the master leaves! we will be even more wretched,” reply Li Ho.

“Tumenggung Wirayuda a cruel person, why would you want to trade with him? There are still many dignitaries who want to buy your merchandise, why don't you try your luck in Kadiri kingdom? Ask Aria.

“We already know what kind of person Tumenggung Wirabumi is, because we always ask about people who will trade with us.

“This is like a double-edged knife for us sir, we cancel us wretched but we do not cancel too, we can woe,” said merchant Ming back to talk.

“Do you want to cooperate with us? Ask Aria.

The look on the Ming merchant's face turned cheerful, hearing Aria Pilong's words.

“What cooperation does Mr Aria mean? Ask merchant Ming.

“We will help you trade in the kingdom of Kadiri,” replied Aria.

“To be bright sir Aria! The trade we bring is not an item that can be bought by ordinary people, because the goods we carry are very expensive, we usually trade with large traders or people from the kingdom, he said, does lord Aria have any acquaintances in Kadiri kingdom? Ask the Ming Merchant.

“Liar blind, the third sister is familiar with the commander of Galuh, even the son of the royal commander of Galuh is about to marry the younger sister, the third sister.

“In the kingdom of Kadiri the third sister is also well acquainted with Tumenggung Wirabumi, who is a confidant of the king of Kadiri,” Wangsa said answering the question of the Ming merchant.

Ming merchants Li Ho and Li Mei were shocked to hear the words of the House, they did not expect that Aria Pilong, a blind young man of ordinary appearance, could have any acquaintance with the royal dignitaries.

“What is true that sir said? Asked the Ming merchant, the merchant's face this time looked happy after hearing the House's words.

“You think I lied? Said the House while glaring.

“I believe...I believe with the masters of warriors,” replied merchant Ming.

“Don't Stump! With the ruler of Kadiri, Samarawijaya the third sister also knew,” again the House said.

“What...what is it? If Mr. Aria really knows the king of Samarawijaya, I want to work with Mr. Aria,” Ming merchant reply, I want to work with him, in the mind of the Ming merchant already imagined the coffers of money the profit he got from trading in the kingdom of Kadiri.

“Of course know! Samarawijaya will never forget the third sister, because according to the story of my students, the third sister was about to kill Samarawijaya, but in the case of Tumenggung Wirabumi,” Wangsa replied to the words of the Ming merchant.

“Really not my word Jo? Household Saying.

“You are right,” replied Buto Ijo.

The coffers of money that revolved around the Ming merchant's head instantly disappeared, after hearing the words of the House and Buto Ijo.

The cheerful face of the Ming merchant again turned sad, Li Ho and Li Mei were also confused, why was it familiar but could be about to kill, there must be a reason for that, thought the two brothers, thinking, ming Tao Lim's Guard.

After there was no reply from the Ming merchant, surely the merchant from the foreign land, was thinking of hearing the words of his two companions.

“Ming merchant don't worry, even if I used to have a difference with Prabu Samarawijaya, but our business has been settled and there are no more problems, I can guarantee the Ming merchant can trade safely and quietly in the kingdom of Kadiri,” Aria has a word.

“Can Mr Aria keep his word and trust the words you have said? Ask merchant Ming.

“Stat! You think Raden is a fraud,” Buto Ijo said as he stared intently at the Ming merchant, who immediately bowed his head.

“Master Ming don't worry! You can hold my words and promises, that you can trade in the kingdom of Kadiri without anyone interfering,” replied Aria gave certainty to the Ming merchant.

“Buy all the goods if you still do not believe,” said Buto Ijo.

“You have money? Ask Wangsa.

“Be told them to take the money to the demon Kawi,” replied Buto Ijo.

“Uncle Kawi, Jo! Household Saying.

“Suketi! Your father would have been able to buy all the stuff of this fat guy,” said Buto Ijo without chiming in the words of the House.

Suketi immediately nods his head, while his mouth continues to taste the drinks provided at the table.

The Ming merchant looked at Li Ho, then spoke the language of their land.

“Try you think! The high-quality silks I have offered to the apes, do you think their words can be trusted? Ask the Ming merchant to Li Ho.

“For the time being is mister Ming no other option, other than to accept their offer? Li Ho asked back.

The Ming merchant understood with intent the words of Li Ho and nodded his head.

After arguing with Li Ho in their native language, Ming finally agreed to cooperate with Aria.

Mr. Aria after I spoke with Li Ho, I agreed to cooperate with you, let's celebrate this cooperation, said merchant Ming.

“This special drink we brought from our country, its name is Arak fruit! Please Mr. Aria try,” said Merchant Ming.

Before Aria answered, there was a commotion at the table, as Buto Ijo shouted that Suketi died from drinking poison.

Li Mei immediately approached, seeing Suketi looking outstretched and beside him the Arak cup lying down, with some wine spilling.

Li Mei smiled, then said.

“This monkey is drunk due to drinking too much wine.”

Phoe!

“But so the apes have dared to get drunk, let alone been a human.” Household Saying.

Merchant Ming laughed, as did Li Ho and Li Mei.

“Oh yes sir,” we have agreed to cooperate, sir will help me trade and get acquainted with the royal dignitaries of kediri, so just tell me how much money does Mr Aria ask of us? Merchant Ming asked with a wide smile, as did Li Ho and Li Mei, as their master's difficulties were solved.

“Money! I never talk about money,” Aria said.

The Ming merchant frowned hearing Aria's words.

“If not money, then what cooperation do you mean? Ask merchant Ming.

“Help me kill Tumenggung Wirayuda,” replied Aria.

Prak!

The cup held by the Ming merchant fell to the floor and broke apart, after hearing Aria Pilong's words.

Sweat poured out from the face of the Ming merchant hearing Aria's words.

“Master Aria! Can we cancel this partnership? Ask Merchant Ming with a worried face

“I can cancel this cooperation with Mr. Ming, but on one condition,” replied Aria.

“Quick mister Aria say the terms? Reply Ming Merchant.

Aria smiled from behind her caping and said in a cold tone, answering Ming Tao Lim's question.

“Now too! Mr. Ming immediately set foot from the land of Java.”
