The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Who's He?

The passionate longing for his homeland was clearly emanated from the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono who stood in the bow of a large junkyard. Almost 6 full moon already he left the Land of Jawadwipa to become the ambassador of Panjalu for friendship with the Song Empire. It was quite a long time for her to climb a foreign land that was completely different customs, cultures and customs with which she had been doing all this time.

Luh Jingga approached Panji Tejo Laksono from the left of the young prince from Kadiri. Unabashedly, the daughter of Resi Damarmoyo was hugging the waist of Panji Tejo Laksono. Indeed, the height of Luh Jingga's body is only on the shoulders of the young prince. Among the women of Panji Tejo Laksono, he was second only to Gayatri who was only as old as the prince. Ayu Ratna is the most jonggrang (tall ) because of the height of the Panji Tejo Laksono. Song Zhao Meng was also slightly higher above Luh Orange.

"Finally we will also return to the Land of Jawadwipa ya Gusti Prince. I have missed eating grilled fish together with Gusti Pangeran at the food stall near the palace of Kalingga Duchy there", said Luh Jingga while smiling meaningfully.

"Hehehehe Yes Luh..

Almost 6 full moon we left this place. Whether there is a change in what happened, but I hope that Panjalu is still fine ", replied Panji Tejo Laksono while staring at the port of Halong which looks closer.

Song Zhao Meng did not want to lose. Soon Emperor Huizong's daughter hugged Panji Tejo Laksono's waist from the right direction while pursing her red blushing lips.

"You why Meng Er?

Is there something that bothers you?", Panji Tejo Laksono turned his attention to Song Zhao Meng. Luh Jingga turned to the beautiful woman from China immediately.

"Sister Thee was happy to arrive at Jawadwipa Land, while I had to separate from China Land for the next. I don't have anyone here. Only Brother Thee I have here, so I only hope that Brother Thee treats me well in the future" Song Zhao Meng said, turning her head in another direction. There was a clear, fluffy grain in the beautiful eyes of the beautiful woman. Panji Tejo Laksono's right hand immediately touched Song Zhao Meng's cheek until the beautiful woman turned towards Panji Tejo Laksono. Gently Panji Tejo Laksono wiped the tears dripping from the corner of Song Zhao Mengs eyes.

"What are you talking about, Meng Er??

I'm a true knight, I'll never take the words I promised Emperor Huizong when I said I wanted to be with you. You have to trust me, Meng Er.

Believe me, I will be fair to you, Luh Jingga, Gayatri and Ayu Ratna", the words of Panji Tejo Laksono instantly made Song Zhao Meng immediately smile thinly and leaned her head on the chest of the field of Panji Tejo Laksono. Flanked by two beautiful women, Panji Tejo Laksono looked back at the port of Halong Port which soon became a port of a large junkyard that had brought him back to Jawadwipa Land.

Halong Port was one of the major ports of the time, being the berthing of large ships from foreign countries. Many traders from overseas countries such as Champa, Kambujadesa, China, Gujarat and India who traded to the archipelago at that time, always chose to stop at Halong Port before returning to his country. In addition, traders of the Indonesian state such as Srivijaya on the island of Andalas, Surasilulu on the island of Bali, Tanjungpura on the island of Borneo, Luwu on Sulawesi Island often come to Panjalu to buy merchandise such as rice, rice, and rice, gold, leather goods, various weapons, agricultural tools and some other produce. This makes Halong port as a large goods trading market in addition to being part of Kalingga City which became the seat of government of the oldest Duchy in the western region of Panjalu.

Hundreds of large ships with foreign flags appear to be anchored in Halong Port. Various kinds of foreigners are also seen crowded passing by on the dock with all their respective activities. Some workers and porters of goods appeared bathed in sweat, selling energy to get wages for the sake of the family, appeared to rise and fall from large ships that were indeed a means of trade between countries at that time.

A cold sea breeze struck Panji Tejo Laksono's handsome face as the large junkyard he was riding on started leaning on Halong Harbor.

Rakryan Purusoma immediately approached Panji Tejo Laksono, Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng who were still standing in the bow of the jung ship after the jung ship had been leaning perfectly on the port.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

Our ship is docked. Please Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono walk the road while waiting for the soldiers to unpack our luggage" said Rakryan Purusoma soon. Panji Tejo Laksono nodded in understanding.

Wanyan Lan who was behind the ship, looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono and his two women who were preparing to get off. There's something she can't say seeing it all.

Apparently the arrival of the young prince from Kadiri was already the main concern of the head of Halong port who saw a large jungle boat with a red blue flag with a picture of this Garuda bird. He still remembers the red blue flag when he delivered the departure of Panji Tejo Laksono with Duke Aghnibrata. Buru hunt the head of Halong port named Mpu Sukerta is approaching the stairs of the ship with 2 people of his personal bodyguard. As soon as the Panji Tejo Laksono began to descend the steps of the junks followed by Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng, Mpu Sukerta immediately respected the young prince.

"Welcome to Halong Port, Gusti Prince. Servant of Mpu Sukerta, head of Halong port, worships", said Mpu Sukerta while worshiping at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Thank you for your welcome, Msu Sukerta..

Don't worship me like that. I'm just a human being, not a god from Kahyangan Suralaya that you should be glorifying. Wake up" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince..

Let us rest for a while in the slave hut while waiting for the transporters to drop off the luggage of Gusti Pangeran", Mpu Sukerta respect to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Please Mpu Sukerta become a caraka", after Panji Tejo Laksono said so, Mpu Sukerta immediately walked in front as a guide. Panji Tejo Laksono with Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng rushed to follow the steps of Mpu Sukerta to his residence located not far from the port of Halong Port.

Mpu Sukerta brought Panji Tejo Laksono and his two future wives to rest in his residence pendopo. Two servants of Mpu Sukerta immediately presented a jug of drinking water and some snacks such as boiled and stir-fried bananas.

"Please enjoy, Gusti Prince.. Sorry only as it is", said Mpu Sukerta immediately.

"Thank you very much for all of this, Msu Sukerta. This is enough to treat my longing for the Land of Jawadwipa..

Oh yes, what is the news in the Duchy of Kalingga now?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono while receiving a cup that had just been filled with drinking water from a clay jug by Luh Jingga.

"Attack from the Duchy of Rajapura? What do you mean, Msu Sukerta?".

"Please forgive Gusti Prince.. Panjalu is currently at war with the Duchy of Rajapura. They have declared themselves claimant to the throne of the Kingdom of Panjalu which had become a dispute between Gusti Prabu Jayengrana and Prince Suryanata before", said Mpu Sukerta while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"WHATAAAAAA...???!!!!!!"

The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately stood up from his seat. He really did not expect that during his leadership to the Land of China will happen big things like this.

"In that case, I can't sit back and relax like this. Msu Sukerta, please call all my personal guard soldiers who are on the jung ship. Have them follow me to the Duchy of Kalingga Palace right now", Panji Tejo Laksono ordered immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", replied Mpu Sukerta while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.

After giving the order to Mpu Sukerta, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately cast his Ajian Halimun spell while holding the hands of Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng. A thin white mist covered the entire body of the three of them and the blink of an eye then Panji Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga had already disappeared from the sight of Mpu Sukerta's eyes. Halong's port chief was flabbergasted to see it all.

"A great king who is a powerful Mandraguna. I must quickly meet the bodyguards of Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono at the pier.

Wudu, Kuntings..

Let's go to the port now!", Mru Sukerta while giving orders to two of his personal bodyguards, rushed towards the port of Halong Port.

Ayu Ratna was enjoying the morning air in the garden of Keputren Sari Kadipaten Kalingga Palace, when a palace ladyboy ran towards her. Dayang named Sukesi almost fell because the jarit stuck to the stone floor.

"Why are you being chased by demons like that, Sukesi?", asked Ayu Ratna while astonished to see the strange act of Sukesi.

"Huufffff huhh huhh.. I-it Gusti Putri i-itu.", Sukesi ngos-ngosan adjust his breathing.

"That's what Kesi is..???

Speak clearly let me understand what your words mean", snapped Ayu Ratna who was upset because of Sukesi's speech.

"That's Gusti Putri.. Gusti Putri's future husband, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono is in the grand pendopo", Sukesi reported after gasping for breath.

Hearing that, Ayu Ratna without waiting for a long time immediately ran towards the Grand Duchy of Kalingga. Sukesi who still did not stand upright, it was the unwillingness of Ayu Ratna's body to fall plunged towards the flowers that thrive in the palace sari garden.

Once we arrive at Pendopo Agung, we, Ayu Ratna who saw Panji Tejo Laksono immediately ran towards the young prince and hit him without concern with the eyes of some people who were in that place.

"Kangmas Prince.. I miss you a lot huhuhuhu.", tears of happiness immediately spilled in Ayu Ratna's eyes. How much he missed the figure of that handsome man during these few full moons. The handsome face of the eldest son Prabu Jayengrana always looms every week.

Panji Tejo Laksono smiled meaningfully got such treatment from Ayu Ratna. The young prince tightly hugged the slender body of Ayu Ratna. After a long time they hugged, a loud deheman sounded from behind Ayu Ratna.

Eheeemmmm.. !!

Hearing that, Ayu Ratna immediately turned her head towards the source of the voice which turned out to be the voice of Duke Aghnibrata. Seeing the presence of his father, Ayu Ratna immediately released her embrace on Panji Tejo Laksono with a red hue holding in shame. Buru buru Ayu Ratna immediately inched closer to Luh Jingga who was standing behind the young prince.

"I'm sorry for the interruption, Prince Nakmas..

That's story. The Duke of Waramukti is indeed demanding the right to the throne of the Kingdom of Panjalu because he considers the descendants of Prince Suryanata more entitled", said Duke Aghnibrata with a smile.

"This cannot be called demanding rights, Kanjeng Duke of Aghnibrata. But more on the attempt to treason against legitimate government.

I want to ask for help to Kanjeng Adipati Aghnibrata to lend the Kalingga soldiers as my troops who will follow the Panjalu Warriors who have already left. What can Kanjeng Adipati Aghnibrata do?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Of course, Nakmas Prince. You are my future daughter-in-law, my property is also yours", Duke Aghnibrata said with a faint smile. Hearing that reply Panji Tejo Laksono breathed a sigh of relief.

Ayu Ratna subtly elbowed the waist of Luh Jingga who stood beside her as she looked towards Song Zhao Meng who looked calm behind Panji Tejo Laksono. In a soft voice, he asked Luh Jingga,

"Who is that woman, Luh?"
