“It turns out trading away from home does not wear,” Inner Merchant Ming, heard the choice of cooperation with Aria full of risk.
After seeing Li Ho nod his head, finally the Ming merchant agreed to the cooperation with Aria Pilong.
“If we can know, why did Mr Aria want to kill Tumenggung Wirayuda? Ask Li Ho.
“Because he is a cruel person,” replied Aria.
“What can we do, sir? because if you ask for energy assistance, we from now on raise our hands,” said Li Ho, responded by nodding Ming Tao Lim.
“You only brought me closer to Tumenggung Wirayuda, the rest I will kill him,” said Aria.
“But if Mr. Aria does not succeed, it will not kill us all, because we who have brought Mr. Aria met with Tumenggung Wirayuda,” merchant Ming said.
“You do not need to introduce me, just show me the figure of Tumenggung Wirayuda, later the rest let me finish,” said Aria Pilong.
“Then, we accept this cooperation offer,” reply merchant Ming.
“The first brother, the second brother and the fifth sister wait in the village of Jatijajar while me and Andini who will come to Tumapel with the Ming merchant entourage.
“Can't! I must escort Raden,” said Buto Ijo after hearing Aria's words.
“If you come with me, my disguise must be exposed because you are famous until Kahuripan.
“Distance from here to Tumapel Only one day, after passing one day you can go from this village and wait for me towards the road that leads to Mount Semeru, he said, I'll catch up with you guys with Andini,” Aria said.
“But...but! Buto Ijo when he was about to say, was immediately cut by Aria.
“Nothing but but an,” reply Aria heard the words Buto Ijo.
“According to my words, and you here also have to keep an eye on the villagers of jatijajar, lest they come out of the village and tell Tumapel.
“Didn't you also have to wait for Suketi here, because Suketi until now still not aware,” continued Aria said.
Buto Ijo finally nodded his head hearing Aria's orders.
After agreeing, they then ate the food available, while Buto Ijo who was anxious to see Suketi still stretched, slowly the mouth of Buto Ijo continued to blow towards Suketi's face, trying to resuscitate Suketi, slowly, which according to Li Mei the apes were drunk because they drank too much fruit wine they brought.
***
In the morning, the convoy of the Ming merchant car drove towards Tumapel.
Merchant Ming looked tense as he sat on his horse carriage.
While Li Ho and Li Mei one train with Aria and Andini.
Aria and Andini wear clothes given by Li Ho, because according to Li Ho if Aria wears a different shirt with them, will raise suspicion Tumenggung Wirayuda.
“Why didn't Mr Aria invite them to be together? Li Ho asked, as Li Ho was somewhat astonished by Aria's decision.
“I myself still able to finish Tumenggung Wirabumi, if they both come and fight in front of Tumenggung Wirayuda, my efforts will be in vain, Tumenggung Wirayuda will be more vigilant and more difficult to kill him,” Aria answer Li Ho's question.
“Sorry, one more question I Mr Aria, why do you always wear caping, is not by wearing caping will make people more suspicious of the master? Li Ho asked back.
“I am a blind man Mr. Li, wearing a caping or not, it makes no difference to me, but if I wear a caping, people will not be disgusted to talk to me, like we are today,” reply Aria.
“I am not disgusted even though the third sister opened the caping,” Andini also spoke.
Li Ho and Li Mei looked at each other.
“Sorry Mr Aria! If I may want to give advice,” said Li Mei after the sister blinked her eyes, they both actually felt curious about Aria's face that always wears caping.
“Tell me! Aria cried to hear Li Mei's words.
“What we heard, Tumenggung Wirayuda is very cunning and always careful with all affairs, for that we told Mr. Aria to wear clothes from our country.
“But even though Mr. Aria wears clothes from us but does not open the caping, I think Tumenggung Wirayuda will be suspicious and it can hinder the purpose of Mr. Aria to kill Tumenggung Wirayuda.
Aria silently heard Li Mei's words, but Aria admitted, that what Li Mei said was true.
“Nona's right! Later, after near the town of Tumapel I will open my caping.
Li Mei smiled at Aria's words, while Andini pouted at Li Mei's words, then spoke.
“Nona also wears a veil! Isn't that the same, it could raise the suspicion of the ruler of Tumapel? Ask Andini.
“This issue is different, miss. I wear a veil because this is indeed the hallmark of dressing from our country,” Li Mei replied.
Andini immediately silently heard Li Mei's words.
Because it brought enough supplies, the train did not stop and continued to move towards Tumapel.
As the afternoon approached, the longer the road they passed the bigger and nicer, the houses also began to be seen on the right left of the road, as well as the passing of people who walk or ride horses more and more visible.
“We are almost at Tumapel,” whispered Andini to Aria.
Aria nods her head at Andini's whispers.
Slowly Aria opened her caping, saying to Andini.
Andini immediately pulled out a comb from behind her shirt after hearing Aria's words, then slowly softly, Andini began to tidy up Aria Pilong's hair.
While Li Ho and Li Mei were shocked to see Aria's face as well as her strange eyes, the brand had absolutely no idea that Aria was apparently a handsome young man, unlike what they had expected this survivor to be, it was not at all unexpected that Aria was a handsome young man, unlike what they had expected, that the young man had a face that was less pleasant in view, because he always wore caping.
“It turns out Mr. Aria is young and very handsome,” said Li Ho.
“Thank you Mr Li! I myself do not know whether I am handsome or not, because I have never seen my own face,” Aria replied with a wry smile.
Not feeling they were conversing, the Ming merchant car troupe reached the gates of Tumapel city.
After informing the guards and giving a little money, the Ming merchant horse carriage was escorted by dozens of soldiers, they headed straight to the residence of Tumenggung Wirayuda.
The day began to change the night as they entered the city of Tumapel.
The Ming merchant convoy stopped right in front of the residence of Tumenggung Wirayuda.
A soldier immediately reported to the house, to notify the arrival of guests who had been waiting for by Tumenggung.
Shortly after, a dashing, thick-moustached man stepped out accompanied by a few soldiers.
The Ming merchant came down after the door of the carriage he was waiting for was opened by Tumenggung Wirayuda's men.
Similarly, with the carriage that Aria was riding on, they got off the carriage after the Soldier opened the carriage door, then stepped up and stood behind the Ming merchant.
“Our cordial greeting to Tumenggung Wirayuda, introduce! I am Ming Tao Lim a merchant from China.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
“Welcome Mr Ming! Sorry to bother Mr. Ming, because it was hard to come to a remote city like this Tumapel to meet me,” reply Tumenggung Wirayuda with a laugh.
“We are honored to have received an invitation from Tumenggung Wirayuda,” reply Ming merchant.
Tumenggung Wirayuda smiled at the words of the Ming merchant, then replied to the words of the merchant.
“If mister Ming is honored to accept my invitation, why did mister Ming betray me? Tanya Tumenggung Wirayuda's.
The look on Ming Tao Lim's face, Li Ho and Li Mei changed to hear the words of Tumenggung Wirayuda.
“What....what do you mean by tuan Tumenggung? Asked the Ming merchant with a pale-looking face.
“You teamed up with Buto Ijo, killed the pupil son of Gajahwungkur.
“No lie, for my own men are watching, Buto Ijo is coming with your entourage, killing the guards I sent.
“The guards that Mr. Tumenggung sent to disagree with some swordsmen, we do not know who the swordsman was, after killing all their Tumenggung sir guards and leaving us,” said Li Ho.
“Who are you? Tumenggung Wirayuda asked as he stared intently at Li Ho.
“I'm Li Ho! Personal escort merchant Ming Tao Lim,” reply Li Ho.
“Check all the horse carriages! Is there an enemy hiding in the train,” said Tumenggung Wirayuda.
The Tumapel soldiers directly checked the Ming merchant horse carriage, after they had found nothing, the soldier then reported to Tumenggung Wirayuda.
“Nobody is hiding, Butenggung! Everything has come down from the train,”, the soldier said after inspecting the Ming merchant train.
“Take the horse-drawn carriage to the warehouse and put them all in jail, if there is one person who fights, finish them all,” Tumenggung Wirabumi said.
Aria, who was about to move, was forced to remain silent after hearing the threat of Wirayuda.
Finally they were in the midfield by soldiers to the prison, which was located on the edge of the residence house, Tumenggung Wirayuda.
Meanwhile in the village of Jatijajar.
Buto Ijo continued to step back and forth accompanied by Suketi who was aware, in front of the gate of Jatijajar village.
“Why are you pacing back and forth from earlier? Ask Wangsa.
“Now it is one day, I will go to Tumapel,” replied Buto Ijo.
“You didn't hear the words third sister? After one day, we just left this village, they just left this morning, so we will go to Tumapel tomorrow morning,” said the House trying to advise Buto Ijo.
“Stupid resolution! You heard me very well,” reply Buto Ijo.
“From here to Tumapel takes half a day, if we leave now, tomorrow we reach Tumapel, is not it fitting 1 day,” continued the words of Buto Ijo.
The house was silent while pensively hearing the words of Buto Ijo.
Seeing the House not talking.
Buto Ijo immediately ran off following the path that led to Tumapel.
The house shook its head to see Buto Ijo.
“What can I do then,” Inner House, then look at Andira and say.
“Take horse! Now also we go to Tumapel.”
