The Fighter
Chapter 213 The Tread of Geni
The guards on duty asked about Wisanggeni's origins and interests. Coincidentally Wisanggeni had visited the place before, so that the man was a little more able to recognize the places. Even Wisanggeni also claimed to be a native of the city of Laksa, and it is also unknown if he had lied.
"Quick get out of here, find your place immediately. It's a good thing that you met with us on guard, otherwise you would have been thrown into the dungeon accompanying the king and royal consort." rudely, no, the guard rebuked Wisanggeni who was disguised as a nomad.
"Thank you Ki Sanak.., but it looks like I just found out Ki Sanak's face. Usually for the royal guards, often meet with them. But this time I met Ki Sanak, and I felt alien to Ki Sanak," Wisanggeni tried to find as much detail as possible.
"Ha.., ha.., ha. royal guard trash.. Perhaps they were loyal to the king of Arya Vikrama. Is the king willing to give them luxury.. But I admit your foresight, boy, I am not of this kingdom. I come from Tapak Geni college., but from now on I and the students of Tapak Geni college who rule here, ha.., ha.., ha..." the bodyguard who turned out to be not a native of Laksa, was laughing loudly.
"Alright Ki Sanak.., I'll be home soon to my family home. My permission went ahead." not waiting for an answer from the guard, Wisanggeni pretended to walk away from the place. The man spread his gaze around the place, and slipped into hiding if he met the people who were still wandering around the place.
Some time Wisanggeni surrounded the place, suddenly his vision was nar. The man saw directions written using Sanskrit letters, which meant dungeon. But the number of guards who oversee the place, making Wisanggeni postpone the desire to enter the place.
"I must be careful, the power of Prince Abhiseka has not been detected. If I get caught, then it will fail our plan to free the king and empress." Wisanggeni thought to himself. The man looked cautious, and did not want to think rashly.
"She.., what did you find there..?" suddenly Wisanggeni was startled by the voice of Prince Abhiseka. The man had already caught up with him, and was currently standing behind him.
"It turns out to be true of our initial estimation Prince. The guards in front of the kingdom, all have been arrested for not wanting to rebel. The guards who were talking to me, they are students from the Tapak Geni college. Means there's a connection between the college and the son of the royal concubine." Wisanggeni whispered to Prince Abhiseka.
"Just let Wisang first, we will not be able to do much if we move at this time. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere. I'm sure the men of the concubine's son won't know the place." Prince Abhiseka whispered to Wisanggeni, then carefully it lightened his body and jumped up the precarious. Wisanggeni immediately followed the man..
Not for how long they jumped on the tile, suddenly on the edge of a forest, Prince Abhiseka jumped down. The man then walked down a path that was caged with many large trees. The small road is like a hidden, and impressed rarely passed by people, and,. Without asking much, Wisanggeni followed in Prince Abhiseka's footsteps, the two men walking hand in hand.

A wooden building is seen in the middle of the forest visited by Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni. But faintly, they saw a ray of light from inside the pondhok building. Wisanggeni stopped, the man tried to be careful and keep watch.
"No need to worry about the wizards... There is no one even your father and mother if I have a hiding place in this forest. Only people close to me know about this place. I'm sure my people are waiting here for me" Prince Abhiseka calmed Wisanggeni. They continued to walk closer to the pondhok building.
"Clap.., clap.., jleb.." Suddenly unexpectedly, dozens of arrows attacked them both. Immediately, Wisanggeni issued a protective veil, and the arrow fell unable to penetrate the protective veil made by Wisanggeni.
"Tap.., tap.., tap.." some people came and jumped, and surrounded Wisanggeni and Prince Abhiseka.
"Who are you... How dare you come to this place?? We attack then we roast, or do you two surrender and admit your mistake?" the voice of the young man shouted towards the two of them. Prince Abhiseka waved his hand, then the man stood in front of Wisanggeni.
"Did you throw me out of my own place?" with a firm voice, Prince Abhiseka shouted in response to the man's question...
"Prince Abhiseka.., is that really Prince?" suddenly one of the few people recognized the voice of Prince Abhiseka. Someone then lit a fire, and clearly visible the faces of Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni. Seeing the arrival of the Prince at that place, the people had kneeled before him.
"Our prince, this is the only place that we think is still safe from rebel reach. We and a few others, used this place to hide from the pursuits of the people of Prince Prakosa." one of them represented his friends asking for forgiveness from prince Abhiseka.
"Wake up all of you. There is no need for you to act like that to me. The wrong me cannot protect the kingdom well. This pondhok was built for us to study and practice together like this. Anyone can use it, now get me and Wisanggeni inside. We will rest for a while." with compassion, Prince Abhiseka responded to their words.
"Let's Prince.., follow us!" these people then paved the way for Prince Abhiseka and Wisanggeni. The two people immediately followed those people and began to enter the pondhok.
Arriving inside, Prince Abhiseka's heart felt like it was struck with a sledgehammer. In front of them, many people were sleeping and resting. On the right side, women and some children fell asleep, and on the other side young children joined them. They slept without using a bed.
"How sad is the state of my people from the kingdom of Laksa." Prince Abhiseka muttered to himself, his eyes beginning to tear up feeling the suffering his people were going through.
"Prince.., Den Bagus.., please enter the senthong at the end. We are sure that one day the Prince will come to this place to visit us, so that two senthongs we prepare for the Prince to rest." one of the men explained to Prince Abhisheka.
Without answering, Prince Abhiseka immediately invited Wisanggeni. The two young men immediately entered the senthong prepared for them.
