Dragon and Phoenix
Chapter 19: The Madam

This question since time immemorial, can never be answered.

Cio San is still too green. Although silat and his brain are brilliant, still can not find the answer.

There are so many lessons he learned today. Just being vigilant is not enough. Fast and able to behave, must be trained. He should always use his wits and energy to prevent these things from happening again. If he could use his wits to read things more clearly, he could prevent the girl from dying.

Later that night, all the residents of Lai Lai close up what to do. Kwee Lai said that funds for repairs do exist, but clearly they suffer a lot of losses. Although this incident did not hit Lai Lai's finances too much, it at least shook her heart as well. They decided to close

Lai Lai for a few days, to repair any damage.

Just when the meeting was closed, someone knocked on the front door.

“Who?” ask Kwee Lai.

“Goodnight. Salute respect. I am the envoy of the Kim Hai (Lautan Emas) trading company. Please permission to meet Kwee Loya (Tuan Kwee),” voice from outside.

Cio San hurried to open the door.

The person who came had a neat appearance. His face is handsome, even though he is old enough.

“Include, my name is Huan Biau. I brought a message from Khu-hujin (Large Lady of Khu) to Kwee Loya (Tuan Kwee),”.

"Let's go in, I'm Kwee Lai,” said Kwee Lai with a friendly smile.

Everyone knows what Kim Hai's trading company is, and who Khu-hujin is.

“What message from Khu-hujin?” ask Kwee Lai.

“Hujin advised that all losses in your store will be replaced. Starting tomorrow, we will send some workers and building materials. Hujin also apologized profusely, for the actions of her grandson who troublemaked here, Kwee Loya.”

“Ah, a small quarrel like this, Khu-hujin until direct intervening? I'm this old man too face-given by Khu-hujin. No, no need to replace. Don't bother Khu-hujin.”

“It's okay, Loya. Khu-hujin. Loya must accept his apology. If there is time, Hujin herself will come to visit.”

“Waah, a great honor if he visits. Please let him know before he arrives, so we can prepare the best dishes for him,” said Kwee Lai.

“Yes, he happens to have plans to this city. There are trade matters that he has to settle himself. Now he is still at his residence in the city of Tho Hoa.”

“Master Huan please rest for a while. We prepare wine and some stomach fillers.”

“Thank you, Loya. But I have to go home soon to prepare for tomorrow's work. Actually it is very difficult for me to refuse this offer, considering that the cuisine here is already famous out of town. But what power, a lot of work piles up,” said Huan Biau refused subtly.

“Eh.. Then will Master Huan bring some wine jars? Just as a friend rest while working. Maybe it can be drunk with the brothers there,” said Kwee Lai.

Huan Biau had not had time to refuse, Mey Lan had already appeared with some wine jars. He cannot refuse. Finally, after greeting him, he immediately implored himself.

After the man came home, Cio San asked Kwee Lai, “Loya, what is the distance between this city and Tho Hoa city?”

“Journey by horse about a day a night. What's up?”

“Ah, it's okay,” replied Cio San with a smile.

In his heart he said, “His man alone, has such light footsteps. I only found out his presence when he was 10 steps away from the front door. Even in another city far away, he knew so quickly. He even sent people to take care of it. You can imagine how influential this Khu-hujin is.”

That night Cio San slept with all sorts of thoughts. But for some reason, he did not close the window of his room.

Early in the morning, the people from Kim Hai had already arrived. They came around ten people. With a wide range of tools and tools. These people do seem to be construction workers whose day jobs take care of the building. So no wonder if until noon, Lai Lai already looks so neat

and clean as before.

The broken table and chair have been replaced recently. The broken wall has been repaired. The scratches from yesterday's battle had all been erased. Cio San was not helping. They are not allowed to help these people. He also understands, precisely if it helps, his work could be more molor

longtime.

So at noon, by lunchtime, the whole work was done. Lai Lai's side prepared a good meal for Kim Hai's side. Huan Biau who came overnight, was also present to fulfill his promise to taste the cuisine in Lai Lai.

They eat and talk in a relaxed manner. Cio San fadingly asked, “Master Huan, where did Miss Khu go after yesterday?”

“After giving up the two demons, Khu Siocia (Nona Khu) went straight home to Tho Hoa,” replied Huan Biau.

“Oh, it's worth me not seeing it again after that. Miss Khu was very brave yesterday. He bravely fought the demon woman.”

“Our name is so the battle. Since childhood, I have loved silat. He has been traveling alone for two years. Uh, Brother A San, do you know who that dashing swordsman named Cio San is? It appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. According to the story of Khu-siocia, silatnya really great.”

Cio San smiled and replied, “I only saw him as he spoke. When I move, I see only shadows. Terrible battle said the people, for me only the shadows flashed.”

Huan Biau nodded his head. “Indeed according to our Miss, the young man named Cio San is very powerful. Unfortunately, its origin is unknown to people. Otherwise, we will definitely meet him and say a very deep thank you.”

They chatted for quite a while, then Huan Biau and his men asked themselves.

Before long, the people of Hai Liong Pang (Sea Dragon Society) who controlled the pier area of Liu Ya city came to visit.

In this world, there is nothing that attracts Bu Lim (tributes) other than the holy book. In addition to treasure and heirloom weapons of course.

From the beginning, Cio San had indeed thought about all the decisions he had taken. He had chosen to use his real name during the battle yesterday. Thoughts that arise for a moment, but he has thought well. It is not easy to think about everything mature in a short time, but Cio San's brain was brilliant.

He deliberately used the name to provoke the reaction of the people of Kang Ouw. Do they still remember what happened a few years ago? Are they still looking for the holy book?

From that little crowd, Cio San could take a chance. He could start investigating the secret of all this. Therefore Cio San felt excited. So many strange things happen around him, somehow he feels all interconnected.

“You learned to cook where?” ask Khu-hujin.

“Leluhur siauw jin since long ago was a cook. Someone had opened the store as well.”

“Oh nice. Your cooking is so good. Once upon a time, may I invite you to cook at my house? But for that, I have to ask permission first to Kwee Loya.”

Kwee Loya who was standing next to Cio San said, “Of course you can, Hujin. Mana maybe siauw ceng refused the request Hujin.” Apparently he caught Cio San, talking while looking down.

Khu-hujin nodded happily, then asked Cio San again, “What's your name, young man? I'm sorry that I'm old, it's hard to remember people's names.”

“

Cio San was actually stunned from earlier. He knew that what Khu-hujin meant was A Liang. Teacher and his best friend. In this world, there is no one else who is smart to cook and buried in Bu Tong-san other than Kam Ki Hiang aka A Liang.

Until nightfall, Cio San was unable to work quietly. His mind was still glaring at the thought of Khu-hujin's story earlier. What's he supposed to do?

Finally he decided to do something.
