Swordsman Choose a Appeal
episode 18 Hearts Wounded. bag four.
After the departure of two Pajang officers to Kotaraja Demak, the Duke still decreed the trial in his palace.
He felt very sad about what was experienced by the troops sent to the base Mentaok.
It seems that the Duke's heart was wounded because of the defeat of his troops, even more so long ago there was no longer the arrival of the Leaders of various Academangans who had to deliver tribute to Pajang.
They do not dare to pass through the famous forest is quite haunted, although in fact its awesomeness is made by a few people.
Even the Duke of Pajang has received news that Ki Ageng Manguntur, a fiefland leader in Menoreh, seems to have been very upset with the begal herds in the Mentaok grounds.
Privately, though,.. Kanjeng Gusti Adipati Pajang asked Tumenggung Wangsa Rana to cooperate with Ki Ageng Manguntur it to overcome the problems in mentaok.
Tumenggung House of Rana itself told Kanjeng Gusti Adipati Pajang, that the problem in Alas Mentaok can still be solved by Pajang itself without the interference of other parties,..be it Menoreh or Mangir.
Because actually the strength of the herd begal has not been included in the category of harm, just in this case,. Pajang must be more careful to see the problem, not in a hurry or grusuk grasak as has been done by Tumenggung Jala Wisesa.
Even Tumenggung House of Rana told Kanjeng Gusti Adipati Pajang, if you want to ask for better help to the Selo or Mantyasih area, in addition to both are still very familiar with the Duke himself.
The supreme leader of the Duchy of Pajang was pondering the fate that had been experienced by his troops, indeed he did not expect that the destruction had been received by them as a result of the arrogance of Tumenggung Jala Wisesa.
And the Duke also regretted his actions that allowed the troops to leave, even though he himself did not believe in their abilities .
As for the land of Menoreh's own fief, in the house Ki Ageng Manguntur. It looks like some people are sitting in the afternoon.
The leader of the Perdikan land from the Menoreh hills was restless after hearing reports from several people including the Leader of the Perdikan land guard.
They told Ki Ageng Manguntur that the Pajang troops sent to Alas Mentaok were completely destroyed even Senopati himself had died at the hands of the Chief of Robber.
The Perdikan land leader sighed many times, as if he wanted to issue a very heavy burden that was on his shoulders.
He told the elders of Perdikan land to further increase the guard at the border from Kali Opak and in some places that became the entrance of people who want to find Opportunity after the failure of the troops Pajang put down the horde of persmpok.
Hehhh, whether in Pajang already does not have a reliable Senopati to overcome the problems in Mentaok, that's how he thought.
Indeed Ki Ageng Manguntur felt the need to say this himself to the Duke himself.
Because the two people were actually still friendly with the highest leader of the Duchy of Pajang.
He recalled how they fought hand in hand to defeat Majapahit, after Kanjeng Gusti Prabhu Brawijaya fled to Mount Lawu, and the Majapahit government moved to Daha.
Kanjeng Sultan Demak first sent a strong army to overcome the Majapahit forces that had moved it.
That's where the two became close friends because their troops were joined from Pajang.
At that time they both had not served their positions as they are today, the Duke was still the crown prince, and so was he.
But what is very unfortunate by Ki Ageng Manguntur, why Pajang does not want to cooperate with his Menoreh Perdikan land, is there anything wrong in this matter.
Because with the activities of the begal herds in Alas Mentaok it is increasing , is Menoreh the most severely at a disadvantage ,..several times they found a house there that had been robbed with the owner of the house they killed and they looted the goods in it.
Also the women who have been missing for some time that they may have kidnapped.
That is what causes the highest leader of the Perdikan land more popular his heart.
" Ki Ageng,.why shouldn't we report this directly to Kotaraja Demak,..?" ask Ki Jagabaya.
Perdikan land security leader asked that to Ki Ageng Manguntur as well as disperse his daydream.
" I guess there's no need for Ki ,..!" reply Ki Ageng Manguntur.
" Why not Ki Ageng,.are we going to keep quiet after the defeat of the great Pajang army,..?" ask Ki Jagabaya again.
" It's not that, though,. Ki Jagabaya, I still put my trust in Pajang to be able to quell the gang of robbing It and the Second I do not want to be considered to underestimate Kanjeng Adipati Pajang if anything directly report to Kotaraja Demak,.." ki Ageng Manguntur.
But the answer from the land leader of the fief did not make the heart of Ki Jagabaya become calm,.because as a place closer to Alas Mentaok of course their territory will become easier as an easy target of the herd of begal to act.
But what would be said Ki Ageng Manguntur did not respond to his proposal.
It was a Bekel who later told Ki Ageng Manguntur to work with Mangir to eradicate the herd that nest in Mentaok.
After being agreed by several elders of Perdikan land, finally Ki Ageng was willing to open cooperation with Mangir, even he would also send an envoy there and also to Pajang.
Because according to Ki Ageng Manguntur itself the advantages of the begal herds in the base Mentaok was caused by interference from the ruler of Mount Merapi, yes,.. It seems that Mpu Loh Brosangsang is behind them so that the characters in the Mentaok Alas are more brave. because behind them there is a powerful mandraguna who is difficult to find his appeal in all areas of Demak, maybe it can be counted fingers. Therefore, the Menoreh Perdikan Land will not be deterred by the responsibility to face it, if necessary all adjacent areas will be invited to rally unity against them.
Although the most responsible is Pajang itself.
Until the afternoon the meeting held at Ki Ageng Manguntur house was only completed after it was taken, the word agreed to hold cooperation with several regions close to the Mentaok Alas.
One of the Perdikan land guards sent by Ki Ageng Manguntur who aimed at Pajang City was also driving his horse quickly.
While some of his friends there are to Mangir and to several different places.
Meanwhile, two Pajang officers who were getting assignments to King Demak City continued to drive their horses quickly they were Rangga Aryo Seno and Rangga Wira Dipa.
" Huuffhhhh,.."
Rangga Aryo Seno pulled the reins of his horse, his animal mounts soared to a stop.
He was surprised to see his friend stop his horse running.
" Sister Wira Dipa,.why shouldn't we stop at the Peduhan in front of it,..?" ask her to Rangga Wira Dipa.
Rangga Wira Dipa looked towards the sky and then saw Rangga Aryo Seno.
" Is not the day not too late in the afternoon, why should not we continue,." replied Rangga Wira Dipa.
" It is not yet too late afternoon, but if we force it to continue, 'Tomorrow we will arrive in Kotaraja, '." replied Rangga Aryo Seno.
Rangga Wira Dipa did not answer , indeed after from the Peduhan they will continue through the forest is quite dense and spacious only after they will find a Peduhan closest to Kotaraja.
If they continue their journey, they must stay in the forest.
" Well , we stay in the shelter of the pretext,." said Rangga Wira Dipa.
The two then took their horses to continue their journey again.
Upon arriving at the small peddle the two pointed their horses towards the peddling banjar.
When it gets there the Mentari light dims and is not too hot anymore.
As for Bekel pedukan it was quite surprised by the presence of two people dressed as soldiers.
" I'm sorry kisanak,.Can we meet with Bekel this pedigree,..?" ask Rangga Wira Dipa.
" Oh,.it so happens, I am Bekel this pederabuh,..the child of both these soldiers Demak,.?" ask Ki Bekel.
" It is very coincidental, we immediately met with Ki Bekel, we did not think that this pedukuan has a young Bekel,." said Rangga Wira Dipa.
" Thank you kisanak, because it was my parents who led this pedagogy, suddenly - suddenly died suddenly so that I was assigned to replace him to be Bekel,..where are you two going, if I may know,..?" ask Ki Bekel again.
Then the two Pajang officers came down from his horse, they then introduced themselves , that they were Pajang soldiers who were about to go to Kotaraja Demak, but because the day had been afternoon ,.they decided to stay there.
By Ki Bekel pedukuhan that pretext, they are welcome to stay to stay at his house which is not far from the banjar pedukan.
Rangga Wira Dipa and Aryo Seno then lead his horse following Ki Bekel towards his house.
After a short conversation, the two Pajang officers were welcome to clean his body.
Because it is soon night will arrive, it is seen that the two people also look dirty, due to the dust - the dust in their bodies.
Finished both of them from pakiwan, they were fed by the Bekel.
Both eat it very greedily because they have almost two days to eat whatever they can on the way '.maklum they set off rather in a hurry so as not to have time to bring supplies.
While dining the Bekel then told that the area he led was very unsafe, many robbers who often came and passed in their area.
Rangga Wira Dipa who heard the words from Ki Bekel then asked what about now, whether it is still often the robber patroni pedukuhuhan.
By Ki Bekel it was answered that since there was someone named Raka Senggani and stopped at his Pedukuhan, the situation from that place now became very safe.
The two officers from Pajang were very surprised to hear the narration from Ki Bekel,.. because they know that the person mentioned by Ki Bekel that they will meet in Kotaraja Demak and will be sent back to Pajang.
Rangga Aryo Seno then told the Bekel that they were both soldiers under the leadership of the man named Raka Senggani.
This time Ki Bekel was surprised to hear it, because even though he knew that the person named Raka Senggani was a soldier,..he did not expect that his position was very high in the Duchy of Pajang.
Both Rangga Wira Dipa and Rangga Aryo Seno just smiled at her hearing, because they did understand the nature of the Brastha Abipraya Senopati,..especially until kemaruk said that he was a senior in a Duchy, the eleven Duchies of Pajang very large.
Ki Bekel also nodded in agreement that the young man named Raka Senggani was never arrogant with some of his advantages including when defeating a Begal like Mangku Darno,..and when his meeting again with a man named Sumolewu it and also a brother-in-law of the head robbed.
" It was because of him that we were assigned to this Kotaraja Demak,.Ki Bekel,." said Rangga Wira Dipa frankly.
" What is the reason why the two of Kisanak will meet him ..what is the important thing that has happened in Pajang,..?" ask Ki Bekel.
Then Rangga Wira Dipa explained that currently Pajang is facing difficulties to overcome the problems that occur in Alas mentaok.
In the forest that was once the capital of the Mataram Kingdom there has been a group of people who are highly educated and become ignorant there.
Even recently an army of Pajang soldiers had to go home bite their fingers because they were unable to crush them.
Rangga Wira Dipa also said that at this time Pajang needed a high-scientific leader to face them.
Bekel pedukuhan understand with the explanation of the Pajang officer, he actually also admitted that Senopati named Raka Senggani did have above-average abilities, he said,.even when he saw it, a man named Sumolewu did not dare to do anything.
After the night got colder, the three men finally restrained, because the two Pajang officers had to continue their journey.
And so bright the ground, two horses ran from the house Ki Bekel left the pedukuhnya, After before her they say thank you.
Both of them continue to race fast enough so that when the sun begins to move westward there will be Rangga Wira Dipa and Rangga Aryo Seno in Kotaraja Demak.
The two went straight to the kepatihan palace, asking for permission to face the kanjeng Gusti Sultan Demak.
