The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Unexpected Surprise

Bekel Warrior Panjalu named Rangin immediately rose from his seat and rushed to stand while looking at the group of Panji Tejo Laksono who approached the dock side of the Qiantang river port of Lin'an City. Under the illumination of the moonlight shining brightly in the night sky, also with the help of the lanterns attached along the edge of the pier, he could clearly see who was in the front row of the entourage.

"Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono, you're right Donggol, it's Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono..

Jagad Dewa Batara, they finally returned too. Come all of you we welcome the arrival of our lord ", cried Bekel Rangin by walking half-running towards the stairs up their large junkyard. Dozens of soldiers who had been in charge of guarding the jung ship while repairing some minor damage to the ship, immediately scattering following the leader's steps.

Once in front of Panji Tejo Laksono, Bekel Rangin immediately crouched down and worshiped at Panji Tejo Laksono followed by all his men.

"Welcome back Gusti Prince. Accept the service of servants and all soldiers who guard the ship" Bekel Rangin said immediately.

"I accept your worship. Now stand up ", order Panji Tejo Laksono while raising his right hand.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", Bekel Rangin and the Panjalu soldiers who were on the jung ship swiftly stood up as the order of Panji Tejo Laksono said. The banner of Tejo Laksono stared at the face full of joy in every soldier guarding the ship. Indeed almost 4 full moon in this foreign land of course they also want to go home quickly to the Land of Jawadwipa.

"Now help our soldiers to raise our luggage that we will bring back to Kadiri. As soon as you are done, you Bekel Rangin, quickly report to me", ordered Panji Tejo Laksono who then jumped down from his horse. Bekel Rangin immediately saluted the Panji Tejo Laksono and immediately ordered his men to work on demand from Panji Tejo Laksono.

While the Panjalu soldiers work together with other friends to transport luggage that will be brought to Kadiri, The banner of Tejo Laksono invites Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga to board a large junkyard first.

Participating in Song Zhao Meng made Bekel Rangin look at Emperor Huizong's daughter with a face full of questions. Soon he nudged one of the soldiers who followed Panji Tejo Laksono's journey while in China.

"Hey you're a Warsaw, please,

Who is the Chinese princess? It seems to be very familiar with Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono and Nini Luh Jingga", bekel Rangin asked, randomly glancing towards Song Zhao Meng who was held by Panji Tejo Laksono up the stairs leading to the top of the deck of the jung ship.

"Oh that's Princess Meng Er, she's Emperor Song's daughter. He was betrothed to Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono and asked to be brought back to Jawadwipa as a kinship with the Song Dynasty", replied the soldier named Warso immediately. Hearing Warso's answer, Bekel Rangin understood.

Throughout the night, Panjalu soldiers under the direction of Tumenggung Ludaka and Demung Gumbreg continued to enter various items that would be brought home. In addition to gifts from Emperor Huizong, various needs such as groceries and clean water were also transported to the ship. Right at midnight, all their preparations had been completed and Bekel Rangin immediately approached Panji Tejo Laksono who was sitting with Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga on the deck of their large junkyard.

"Please Lord Prince, all our luggage and groceries have been put on board. Are we leaving now or waiting for the sun to rise?", Bekel Rangin saluted to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Uncle Ludaka and the others had just traveled a long way, so let them rest for a moment. Tomorrow morning as soon as the sun sepifong rose, we set out to go to the Land of Jawadwipa", said Panji Tejo Laksono who was greeted with a sweet smile from Luh Jingga. While Song Zhao Meng just kept quiet without saying anything.

"Hamba understands Gusti Prince. Then I beg you to resign ", Bekel Rangin said while respecting Panji Tejo Laksono and inching back from his presence.

Song Zhao Meng gazed towards the lights that illuminated the highway of Lin'an City with a meaningful gaze. There was a kind of sad feeling that Song Zhao Meng was unable to say. Soon he will leave his homeland to live with Panji Tejo Laksono in his home country. It can be ascertained that he will never again set foot in the Land of China again for good. This was why he looked extremely daunted staring at the dozens of lights that illuminated Lin'an City.

"Meng Er, are you still not willing to leave this place of your birth?", the heavy and authoritative voice from the mouth of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately made Song Zhao Meng immediately turn to the idol.

"Ah Brother Thee why are you saying that?

I've been willing to do everything for you even willing to give up the palace life of the Song Dynasty Empire just to be with you. It's just that I want to see the atmosphere of the night for the last time in my homeland before we start leaving for Jawadwipa Land", there was not a single tear dripping out from the corner of Song Zhao Mengs eyes. Buru hunt the beautiful woman turned her head in the other direction so that Panji Tejo Laksono did not see it but the young prince of Kadiri already knew.

Lovingly, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stood up and hugged Song Zhao Mengs slender body from behind. Luh Jingga immediately rushed to leave the deck of the jung ship to make room for the two of them.

"I understand how you feel, Meng Er. I don't blame you. Believe me, I will make your life happier upon our arrival in Jawadwipa Land later", hearing the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng immediately clutched the arm of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I trust you, Brother Thee.. Thank you very much for loving me so much" Song Zhao Meng said as she spread her head on the chest of the Tejo Laksono Panji field and continued to stare towards Lin'an City.

From the darkness of the night, a pair of eyes continued to watch the movement of Panjalu soldiers around the large jung ship belonging to the Panjalu Kingdom group.

The night was getting late and the Panjalu soldiers were left with some who were on guard duty at night. The atmosphere of the port dock of the Qiantang River was getting cold and quiet until morning before arriving.

The harbor atmosphere of the Qiantang River of Lin'an City grew increasingly crowded as the sun began to appear in the eastern sky. That day the weather was so bright, as bright as the faces of the Panjalu soldiers who were about to sail across the ocean to the land of Jawadwipa. After the preparation is complete, Rakryan Purusoma as the ship's captain ordered the Panjalu soldiers who served as crew members to release the mine ties on the wooden pole of the port port of Qiantang River to lift anchor so that the boat jung big it could soon be gone. Once everything was in order, the large junks belonging to the group of Panji Tejo Laksono started to leave the port dock of Lin'an City.

Song Zhao Meng stood on the deck of a large junkyard while tightly grasping the left hand of Panji Tejo Laksono with teary eyes.

After traveling for one day, the big jung ship with Panjalu flag continues to sail across the ocean.

Usually the atmosphere of the soldiers was calm but from the direction of the storage warehouse there was a noise during the day before noon. Bekel Rangin who served as a food supervisor immediately approached four soldiers who he had just assigned to take food in the warehouse. The four soldiers looked at each other.

"What's this about? Why don't you guys get the groceries I asked for? You want Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono to be angry because their lunch time is delayed because of your actions?", Bekel Rangin glared wide at the four soldiers.

"Although Gusti Bekel, we did not want to take food but that Gusti Bekel it.", a soldier pointed to the floor of the food warehouse. Bekel Rangin immediately turned to look towards the sack where they stored food that looks to move.

"What is this?", the startled Bekel Rangin immediately turned his head towards the soldiers he commanded.

"We don't know, Gusti Bekel. When I raised my luggage on the boat yesterday, I did not feel strange about the sack. But for some reason it is now like that", replied the soldier with fear.

The banner of Tejo Laksono who happened to be passing by was directly approaching them.

"What is this storm?", the voice of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately made Bekel Rangin and the soldiers in charge look back and quickly respect the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince.

That's it's the sack of rice moving itself" Bekel Rangin reported immediately. Hearing that answer, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately turned to look at the rice sack that did seem to move unusual. Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono quickly untied the rice sack. As soon as the bond opened, everyone was shocked to see the contents inside.

"Princess Lan? How did you get to this place?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as soon as he saw the figure of Wanyan Lan who was in the rice sack. But the beautiful girl did not answer Panji Tejo Laksono's question at all.

The commotion in the food storage warehouse instantly caught the attention of everyone including Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga who had just decorated themselves in their rooms. The two of them were surprised instead of playing to see the presence of Wanyan Lan who was sitting in a sack of rice.

The Wanyan Family Head's daughter looked pale and stiff. His body looks like someone who has been hit. Realizing that the beautiful girl was in a teased state, Panji Tejo Laksono quickly let go of totokan Wanyan Lan immediately.

Tukk...

Uhhhhhh..!

There was a sigh of relief from Wanyan Lan's mouth. Almost 2 days a night he was touched to make his body barely moveable. Fortunately after 2 days, the notch loosened until he could move a little which caused the panic.

"I'm sorry, Brother Thee..

At first I wanted to thank you for the help you provided but the security of Kaifeng Palace was too strong for me to go through so I was forced to wait for you to leave the palace. When I found out you left Kaifeng, I immediately knew that you must have been to Lin'an city so I cut off the road and reached Lin'an first.

But when I arrived at Lin'an, I met two members of the Wanyan family. When you got to Lin'an, I was fighting against my older siblings, Wanyan Zhonghan and Wanyan Ziyin because they forced me to relinquish power over family leadership. I refused their wishes and there was a fight between us. Then they managed to poke me and put me in this sack of rice. At first I thought I would be thrown into the forest or drowned, but it turned out to be put in your boat.

That's what happened to Brother Thee" Wanyan Lan said as she stared softly at Panji Tejo Laksono, Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng who surrounded her.

"I don't mind if you're on my boat, Princess Lan.. But if you want us to turn back to China, sorry I can't. I want to quickly return to the Land of Jawadwipa ", Panji Tejo Laksono who was crouching directly stood up from his place while sighing heavily.

"Is that so?

Alright Brother Thee, I don't mind if I have to take part in your homeland. If you have arrived, please help me to return to China again huh? I beg you ", ask Wanyan Lan quickly.

"I'll definitely help, but in the meantime you should come with us to Jawadwipa", Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stepped out of the place followed by Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng immediately.

While growling, Song Zhao Meng who was walking beside Panji Tejo Laksono muttered softly,

"What an unexpected surprise"
