Fan Zhong Yan snorted coldly. His eyes looked so haughtily at Han Mo Gei, the Black Dragon of Luoyang.
As the only son of Mayor Fan Huo Liang, Fan Zhong Yan was indeed pampered by his parents. He was the only male of 4 brothers. The other 3 children of Mayor Fan were female. It was clear that Fan Zhong Yan felt he had become Mayor Fan's favorite child. All this time, what he wanted was always followed by the leader of Luoyang City. If he made a mistake, then Mayor Fan would do everything to save Fan Zhong Yan.
However this time Fan Zhong Yan's mischief would be hit by his stumbling and he would gain lessons that he would not be able to forget for life.
"Mr Han, sir,
I have no intention of making a fuss in your place. But these guests of yours have demeaned me as the son of Mayor Fan Huo Liang, the ruler of Luoyang City directly appointed by Emperor Huizong.
If until I don't repay them, this is tantamount to demeaning Mayor Fan Huo Liang. I look at you as a great warrior, but I respectfully ask that you do not interfere in this matter" Fan Zhong Yan said as he stared sinisterly at Han Mo Gei.
"Young Master Fan, please,
You are indeed the son of Mayor Fan Huo Liang. But this is my place. The Dragon Flower Inn has the principle that the customer, no matter the nobility or the king, will be treated the same as the others.
If you insist on making my customers uncomfortable with your actions, I will not hesitate anymore" Han Mo Gei replied loudly, saying, it was as if he was not afraid at all of the threat of Fan Zhong Yan using his father's big name.
"Master, sir,
This is our business. Even if this concerns this Dragon Flower Inn, we do not intend to make a fuss in this place. We are grateful to the Master who has defended us but allowed us to do something to defend ourselves", Princess Song Zhao Meng spoke up.
The commotion that occurred in the Dragon Flower Inn was increasingly attracting people to watch. They increasingly crowded the restaurant and very much waiting for the final result of the commotion.
"Huh, if only Big Miss had been quiet, I wouldn't have stayed still either.
If Big Miss has a problem, I'm behind you. This Dragon Flower Inn restaurant is free for you to use" Han Mo Gei said as he inched backwards despite a sharp eye toward Fan Zhong Yan.
After Han Mo Gei retreated, Song Zhao Meng stepped forward in front of Fan Zhong Yan with no less haughty attitude. Panji Tejo Laksono and his other comrades also stood up from his seat. They were all preparing if Fan Zhong Yan did anything.
"Young Master Fan, please,
What do you want now? Do you want to fight martial arts or do we finish it any other way?", Princess Song Zhao Meng asked immediately.
"Hehehehe..
Why do we fight? You better come with me tonight. We will have as much fun as possible and this matter I consider to be non-existent", Fan Zhong Yan's sly smile was engraved on his disgusting face.
"Saint !!
Pull back your words, otherwise..."
Not yet had General Liu King finished his talk, Song Zhao Meng raised his right hand as a sign for General Liu King to shut his mouth. Seeing that hand gesture, General Liu King instantly kept silent.
"Young Master Fan Zhong Yan, the,
You're brave, right? Don't you know who you're dealing with?", Song Zhao Meng started to get annoyed with Fan Zhong Yan's attitude, but his words were still soft. At the court of Emperor Huizong, court manners were a compulsory science to be studied. No matter how angry a princess is, she must be able to control her emotions.
"I don't care who you are and where you're from, which is important tonight you should sleep with me" Fan Zhong Yan replied insolently.
"Oh yeah? So you don't care who I am? Your fate is so sad apparently.
Do you still not care about this?", Song Zhao Meng took out a golden badge bearing the image of the Hong bird, whose bottom hung a beautiful jade carved Phoenix bird.
Fan Zhong Yan's eyes immediately glared wide looking at the thing in Song Zhao Meng's hands. It was a sign that the person holding her was Emperor Huizong's own daughter. The puffiness of Fan Zhong Yan. She did not expect at all that the person she was currently bothering was Emperor Huizong's own daughter. Soon Fan Zhong Yan kneeled before Song Zhao Meng. His personal bodyguards and all the people in that place immediately knelt down before Song Zhao Meng. Only his followers were also Wanyan Lan and Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades who did not kneel.
"Mr Princess, please,
Please forgive me. These are all misunderstandings. Yes this is all a misunderstanding", Fan Zhong Yan said fearfully.
"Misunderstanding you say? It's so good you're talking. Do you think I'm stupid?
You have dared to be rude to Emperor Huizong's daughter, so the punishment you deserve for your actions is the death penalty.
General Liu King", cried Song Zhao Meng calling the head of his personal bodyguard. The stocky man with a thick mustache and a thick sideburn immediately advanced towards Princess Song Zhao Meng and saluted the princess.
Not yet had Princess Song Zhao Meng ordered General Liu King to do something, from the direction of the restaurant door, a middle-aged man dressed like a mayor was half-hustled to approach Princess Song Zhao Meng. He quickly knelt down beside Fan Zhong Yan who was looking down with a deathly pale face.
He was the Mayor of Luoyang, Fan Huo Liang. As the commotion began, one who was assigned Fan Huo Liang to follow quietly all the behavior of Fan Zhong Yan, immediately ran towards the Luoyang Mayor's Residence. Fan Huo Liang's arrival was right on time.
"Mr Song, Princess,
Fan Huo Liang's servant, Mayor Luoyang pleaded with Princess Song to be compassionate" the middle-aged man said as he bowed to Princess Song Zhao Meng.
"Master, Lord Mayor,
"Pardon me if I defy orders from the Princess. The servant will only wake up if Princess Song promises to release Zhong Yan from the death penalty.
He was the only person who would carry on the clan of the servant family in the future. If the Princess sentenced him to death, it would be the same as the Princess eliminating the Fan Family in the future. I am willing to accept the death penalty in lieu of the punishment of Fan Zhong Yan, the Princess", Fan Huo Liang said as he continued to prostrate before Song Zhao Meng.
Hearing that remark, Song Zhao Meng felt indecisive. He immediately turned his head towards Panji Tejo Laksono who was still calmly standing in his place. If Song Zhao Meng's eyes were to speak, he would ask Panji Tejo Laksono what he should do. Seeing Song Zhao Meng's eye gesture, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately nodded. And that was enough to make Song Zhao Meng make a decision.
"Mayor Fan, all right..
Seeing that you are a dutiful official to the Song Empire as well as your loyalty to my father, I can spare Fan Zhong Yan's life" Song Zhao Meng said sternly. Hearing that remark, Mayor Fan Huo Liang immediately raised his head and said, "Thank you for the Princess' generosity".
"I'm not done talking..
Since you failed to educate your son, let me educate him. Listen to my talk well.
As long as I am in Luoyang, Fan Zhong Yan will be a servant at the Dragon Flower Inn restaurant in exchange for the damage he did. If he were to be momentarily negligent in the service he provided, the master of the Dragon Flower Inn who would be his overseer would give him the punishment he deserved.
As for you Mayor Fan, you will have to bear the cost of eating and living my entire bodyguard until I leave Luoyang City.
Do you understand what to do?", Song Zhao Meng said with a sly smile looking at Fan Huo Liang and his son.
Rakryan Purusoma who was standing beside Demung Gumbreg immediately muttered softly, "Well Princess Song Zhao Meng is cruel at all".
"What do you mean by cruelty, Purusoma?
What has he done?", Gumbreg was very curious about the talk of Rakryan Purusoma.
"Mr Princess requested that Mayor Fan Huo Liang pay all the fees we need while in this city in exchange for her son's death sentence" Rakryan Purusoma replied immediately.
"It was not cruel but clever Purusoma. You're really stupid, aren't you?
Never mind, because eating is bearable, we can eat as much as without limit Purusoma hahahaha. Call the waiter and order as much meat as possible. I want revenge" said Gumbreg, laughing loosely.
'Huh, stomach matters alone must be the main one. Basic kebo bunting', maki Rakryan Purusoma in the heart.
With a wry face and forced smile, Mayor Fan Huo Liang accepted the terms of Princess Song Zhao Meng. After all, bearing the cost of living the hundreds of people who became followers of Princess Song Zhao Meng cost no small amount. Just one meal could cost dozens of gold tails. Of course it would drain the Fan Family's treasure warehouse. But when compared to Fan Zhong Yan's life, this was worth it.
After this problem was resolved, Fan Huo Liang Mayor of Luoyang asked to leave to return to the Mayor's Residence. Meanwhile, Fan Zhong Yan instantly changed into the servants clothes of the Dragon Flower Inn's restaurant immediately.
Since there was already someone to bear the cost, Princess Song's personal bodyguards Zhao Meng ordered a large amount of food. Dozens of urns of wine and meat served as if they were partying.
Han Mo Gei and his wife were also happy with the event. Beside him profiting greatly from this event, a little bit of his frustration as a citizen of Luoyang City was treated. During this time Fan Zhong Yan oppressed the people of Luoyang City as well as his eel, but now with the makeup of the servants of the Dragon Flower Inn, everyone could rule over him.
Fan Zhong Yan had indeed obtained a valuable lesson. The Fan Family Treasure was reduced a lot due to his actions, while his dignity as the son of Mayor Luoyang really collapsed to the lowest point. He really regretted what he did.
The afternoon was quickly replaced. Shortly after, dusk followed behind him. A bright red tinge in the western sky of Luoyang City, it truly became a beautiful sight that could not be forgotten.
Panji Tejo Laksono is seen staring towards the horizon of the western sky that reddened the sign that soon night will soon arrive behind the window of his bedroom on the second floor. I don't know what the young prince of Kadiri was thinking.
Krrriiiieeeeeeeeeeettthhh..!!
The bedroom door opened and Luh Jingga's beautiful face poked there with a tray containing some snacks and a pot of tea. While smiling knots, Luh Jingga walked up to Panji Tejo Laksono who stared at her beautiful face fixedly.
"Gusti Prince, why are you staring at me like that? There is something strange with my makeup?", asked Luh Jingga after putting the tray she brought to a small table in front of Panji Tejo Laksono.
"There's nothing strange, Luh..
It's just that you look beautiful once this afternoon", praised Panji Tejo Laksono with a meaningful smile. Hearing the praise of his loved ones, Luh Jingga immediately close her seat beside Panji Tejo Laksono and lean her head on the young prince's left shoulder.
"Luh Jingga longs for our togetherness in the big jung ship of our entourage, Gusti Prince..
It was so calm, without any problems" Luh Jingga said as she stared at the orange-colored afternoon sky.
"You just calm down..
After we finish the task of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana, we will immediately return to Jawadwipa Land. As beautiful as the land of people, still more beautiful our own country Luh" said Panji Tejo Laksono while also staring at the beautiful sky that afternoon. Luh Jingga did not answer the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, he just buried his face in the chest of the young prince.
Meanwhile outside the bedroom door of Panji Tejo Laksono, there were tears of a beautiful woman who was dripping. He was very fond of Panji Tejo Laksono, but not the slightest bit had the courage to express his feelings to Panji Tejo Laksono.
She was Wanyan Lan aka Huang Lung. The beautiful girl disguised as a man to be with Panji Tejo Laksono to the capital Kaifeng. Slowly Wanyan Lan wiped her tears as she muttered softly looking at Panji Tejo Laksono who was still sitting together with Luh Jingga.
"Sister Thee, please,
Wherever you go, I'll always follow you".
