Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 21. Arriving at the Royal Gate

"Religion ...! It turns out that well water tastes better on the body than river water!" muttered Jaga Saksena who just once took a bath using well water.

'From the horse's kick in my chest is gone!' mind Keep when rubbing the former lumuran of the herb that sticks to the chest of the stomach and jidat.

Pain in the body Jaga has also disappeared, only in the middle of the body that is still a little pain.

After bathing, Jaga Saksena immediately put on the clothes given by Ki Pandu.

"Good!"

Keep Saksena observing the new clothes she is wearing and complimenting her. Although the color faded and the clothes were oversized but his heart really felt happy.

Do not forget to also tuck a stone axe on the waist and then enter the kitchen.

"Grandpa, Grandma, thank you. These clothes are so nice!"

Ki Pandu and his wife looked at each other before smiling happily.

"If you want, stay a few more days, take care. For your body to fully recover." Ki Pandu.

Keep Saksena quiet. Feeling bad if you have to continue to trouble Ki Pandu, Jaga Saksena finally said,

"Jaga is very grateful to Grandpa and Grandma. But I have to continue on, cake."

"You want to catch up with Pekok and Rawal?"

"Yes, Cake."

"If that's what you want, we can't stop you, take care. But if you want to come back, our door is always open for you, take care."

"Thank you, Cake." Keep approaching. "But isn't Grandpa's tavern no door?" continue Jaga lirih.

"Haha!" Ki Pandu rubbed Jaga Saksena's head. "Your journey is long, take care. Although grandfather wants you to stay, but the provisions for you have been prepared ahead there. Go, keep your conscience and follow him, and you'll be safe."

The sun was already high in the east when Jaga Saksena was on his horse.

"Goodbye, Cake! Grandma? Thanks for everything! Oh my!"

Keep pounding his horse. Apparently Rawal agreed to help accompany and escort Princess Lembayung Adiningrum on condition of sufficient payment as well as provide horses to keep Saksena.

In addition to horses, Rawal also left a fee on Ki Pandu to provide travel supplies on Jaga. So that the horse on Jaga is equipped with two pockets where to store supplies.

According to the direction indicated by Ki Pandu, Keep riding continuously towards the sunset, westward.

Riding a horse, Jaga Saksena can pierce the deserted paths. A road that cannot be passed by a horse-drawn carriage.

The journey of Jaga Saksena this time was very smooth. Jaga Saksena had realized that but did not want to bother thinking about it by muttering in her heart,

'The Creator loves me.'

So smoothly, when Jaga Saksena split the deserted forest that is famous for sadistic and ruthless robbers. Not a single robber's nose came in the way.

Actually not the robbers are holiday or saturated. In fact they had prepared on the tree to head off anyone passing by including Jaga Saksena. But when they were about to act, the robber leader saw a sign on the front horse's head covering cloth, so the robber leader gestured his men to let Jaga through.

Keep Saksena just a boy, he did not pay attention to the horse headgear fabric _front_ which has changed color. No longer a sign of the Langkumitir Kingdom.

Take a three-day horse ride, after passing through many villages and villages. This afternoon Jaga Saksena had to stop her horse, ten spears from a gate.

The huge gate is also magnificent.

Keep silent looking at the grand gate.

The gate was towering, connected with a wall that was also high and long snaking. Even Jaga Saksena had to squint her eyes to see the end.

'Lt's amazing! Is this a human building? High once ... long once ... how many people? How long ...?"

Jaga Saksena's admiration made her not notice that there were several guards under the archway who were looking at her with a strange look.

"Hi boy! What are you doing there!? That's a street not a hangout! Move or you'll get hit by a passing cart!"

However, I don't know what the boy was thinking until the screams of the guards he didn't hear.

"Whoi!"

"Aiyakk ...!"

Keep Saksena stunned by the clap that hit her thigh. When Jaga saw who the culprit turned out to be a guard soldier carrying a spear weapon, the boy immediately apologized,

"Sorry, Uncle! You're shocking me!"

"Who are you, boy? From where? Went where? Wanna do what? Why are you dumb here? You want to get hit by a cart or a pedati? Are you tired of living?!"

Quick and endless questions that make Jaga Saksena griny must answer which one first.

"Whoi! Asked instead grin, you're a human what a donkey?!"

"Daddy! Uh Uncle man!" Keep Saksena off her horse.

"I answered!" snarled the other guards who came closer.

"Good, Uncle. My name is Jaga Saksena."

"Where are you from?"

"Where are you?" Keep Saksena scratching her head. "Anu, Uncle ...." Keep thinking what the right name for the small island where it came from.

"Ona anu, why you? Ugly?!"

"Anumu's cheating?!" Keep confused by the expression: your anus is cheating. "What is it, Uncle?!"

"Whoi!! You're asked if you're from a lot of nanya!!"

"Sorry, Uncle!" Keep a little bowing apologetic sign then saying, "I'm from there! From a small island." Keep pointing direction.

"Ha ha ha ha!" The two guards laughed together making the other guards comrades come closer.

"What did he say?!" ask the other guards who were just approaching to make sure of their hearing.

"He confessed from a small island."

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Bokil ... bocil ...! Where there's an island there!" the guard who asked confirmed.

"Really, Uncle. I'm not lying!"

"Ah stop! What did you bring that?!"

Unanswered, the inquiring guard directly examined the contents of the left pouch harshly. While the other guard checked the right pouch.

"Just two pepes of fish! You're so poor, Little Boy!"

"This part is empty!" the one who checks on the right.

"I'm poor, Uncle. Also a kara ..." said Keep Saksena polite but no sadness on his face.

"If so, go. Go home to your little island! You'll only be trash if you keep forcing your way in!" hardik guards without bus pity.

"But, Uncle. I want to go in there. Isn't this the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang?"

"Yes you are right, this is the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang. And you can't come in, except ...." The guard moves the tip of his thumb and the fingertips of his right hand.

"Oh, conditions for getting in there." Keep smiling makes the guard and his friends smile. "Gini, Uncle?!"

Keep Saksena asking while mimicking the hand movements of the guard just now.

Suddenly, the guard's face turned dark. Unlike his friends who broke out in laughter.

"Haha!"
