The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Chinese Princess Charm

The death of Tumenggung Desertwangi further cornered the resistance of the Rajapura soldiers. Ki Juru Kanoman, the only surviving officer of Rajapura's army, immediately threw a large machete that became his mainstay weapon after seeing the death of the leader was sad.

Along with that, the remaining Rajapura soldiers put down their weapons as a sign of surrender to the Panji Tejo Laksono troops. The rain that fell not so heavy continued to pour into the region, as if to be a silent witness to the defeat of the soldiers of Rajapura who are now all kneeling on the ground.

Tumenggung Landung immediately respect the Panji Tejo Laksono which is now surrounded by Luh Jingga, Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari and Gayatri.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

Servant, Tumenggung Landung, apologized for not welcoming Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono since then" said Tumenggung Landung immediately.

"Already Uncle..

This is a time of war. Manners can be set aside first as long as we reach the goal. I'm not a respectful madman.

Oh yeah, now there's something more important. Uncle Ludaka, Uncle Purusoma, please both of you take care of the surrendered Rajapura soldiers immediately. Treat them well, because after all they are only subordinates who carry out orders.

Uncle Gumbreg and Uncle Rajegwesi, for the business of the injured Panjalu soldiers I leave it to you two. Try to immediately build a shelter for them", ordered Panji Tejo Laksono immediately. Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi, Rakryan Purusoma and Demung Gumbreg also simultaneously replied, "Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran".

After that, the four high-ranking Panjalu soldiers immediately carried out the task given by the young prince.

"Uncle Landung, do you have no shelter around this place?", Panji Tejo Laksono turned to look at Tumenggung Landung who was still standing in his place. Heavy rain that flushed the edges of Koncar Forest, making wet all over their bodies. Tumenggung Landung smiled faintly at the words of Panji Tejo Laksono. Soon Tumenggung Landung walked towards the lush trees that grew beside the large stone stone. Panji Tejo Laksono, Mapanji Jayagiri, Luh Jingga, Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari, Ayu Ratna and Gayatri immediately followed the steps of Tumenggung Landung.

Behind the lush trees, a wooden hut large enough to be neatly hidden so that anyone would never guess that there was such a place. The wooden hut made of wooden order tied with a ribbon is indeed the headquarters while the members of the Lowo Bengi Forces who are assigned to spy on the movement of Rajapura soldiers who come in and out of the city from the east side. Adjoining the log cabin, dozens of small huts scattered around the place. A field of grassland full of weeds and shrubs is also there. It was there that Panji Tejo Laksono's troops set up camp tents for the night before storming towards the Duchy of Rajapura.

Once at the log cabin, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately sat on a wooden cot circling a pile of dry wood that seemed to be prepared to make a campfire. All four of his future wives and Mapanji Jayagiri soon did the same. Tumenggung Landung also immediately lit a fire to warm their cold bodies.

The fire slowly started burning the dry wood. The heat that shot out from the flames, making the coldness that invaded their bodies slowly dissipate.

Gayatri who had never seen Song Zhao Meng's figure, stared fixedly at Emperor Huizong's beautiful face.

"Gusti Prince, who is this girl? It seems that he is not Javanese", asked Gayatri as she looked at Panji Tejo Laksono. Mapanji Jayagiri who was also curious to look towards Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari.

"This was the daughter of Emperor Huizong of China, Gayatri. He is the mandate given to me as a form of kinship with them.

I have married her, though not yet performed with our country's customary ceremonies. So from now on he is your brother as well", Panji Tejo Laksono replied with a knotty smile.

"Wah Kangmas Tejo Laksono is very smart to find a wife. I salute you, Kangmas..

Uh brother-in-law, do you have a sister or brother who is as beautiful as you?", joked Mapanji Jayagiri who made Song Zhao Meng immediately turned to look towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"You don't just talk, Dhimas Jayagiri.

Indeed, you dare to wish for the love of Dewi Nareswari who has been betrothed to you?", hearing the question of Panji Tejo Laksono, Mapanji Jayagiri smiled wryly.

"I was just kidding Kangmas..

Nareswari is like a new tiger. Actually I don't like it very much, but since this is a request from Kanjeng Queen Mother Naganingrum, I don't dare to refuse it. If only I were as free as Kangmas Tejo Laksono, of course I would not languish like this", replied Mapanji Jayagiri memelas. Indeed, actually Mapanji Jayagiri does not like matchmaking with Dewi Nareswari from Galuh Pakuan. However, because Prabu Langlangbumi, the older sister of Dewi Naganingrum does not have a son, then asked Mapanji Jayagiri as a son-in-law to continue the descendant of the Maharaja Jayabhupati. They are indeed in a matchmaker since Mapanji Jayagiri aged 4 warsa so that if calculated they have been betrothed for more than one and a half windu.

"You can't do that, Dhimas Jayagiri.

As they were busy chatting, from outside two Lowo Bengi soldiers carrying a Panjalu soldier into the log cabin where Panji Tejo Laksono and his four future wives took shelter. Tumenggung Landung immediately stopped their steps.

"What's this about? Why did you bring the soldier here?", asked Tumenggung Landung immediately.

"Please forgive Gusti Tumenggung..

We found him passed out near the big tree over there. When we checked, he was very hot. Therefore we decided to bring him here" said a member of Lowo Bengi troops while respecting Tumenggung Landung.

Hearing that answer, Tumenggung Landung walked up to this fainted soldier. It also attracted the attention of Panji Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari, Luh Jingga, Gayatri and Ayu Ratna as well as Mapanji Jayagiri. They immediately surrounded the soldier. Unintentionally, Song Zhao Meng instantly recognized the fainted soldier. Although the soldier's face scrawled moreng with soot, but the rain made soot that covered part of his white face was faded.

"Lan Er's? Brother Thee, isn't he Wanyan Lan?", Song Zhao Meng asked as he turned towards Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately nodded.

"Yes, Wulandari..

She was Wanyan Lan, daughter of the Wanyan Chieftain in the Jurchen Tribe. I had known from the beginning if he disguised himself as one of the Kalingga warriors to join this army", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the pretty face of Wanyan Lan which was still mostly covered in soot. Luh Jingga immediately took off her orange color scarf and rubbed Wanyan Lan's blackened face. As soon as the half-drenched scarf was rubbed on Wanyan Lan's face, her real face was clearly visible. She's so beautiful and attractive.

Mapanji Jayagiri who saw it all immediately gawk fascinated with the beauty of women from North China.

"In-she's this girl, sister-in-law?", Mapanji Jayagiri turned his head towards Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari immediately.

"True, sister of Brother Thee..

She is a girl. We found him in a sack of rice that was inside a food storage warehouse on the ship after two days of leaving China", song Zhao Meng replied as she stared at the pretty face of Wanyan Lan who was still unconscious.

"Have you not thought anything, Dhimas Jayagiri..

Wulandari, didn't you study medicine with Sima Qian's grandmother in Zhengzhou? Now try to check on the state of Wanyan Lan", hearing the request from Panji Tejo Laksono, Song Zhao Meng immediately nodded. Song Zhao Mengs hand immediately felt the pulse of Wanyan Lan's hand. Then immediately he touched the neck of the Wanyan Chieftain's daughter.

"It seems that he is suffering from a high fever because his body is not accustomed to the air in Jawadwipa's Land, Brother Thee..

He better rest here. After this rain subsides, I'll find some leaves that can lower his body heat", Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari immediately helped Wanyan Lan to be moved to a sleeping bed in the corner of the room. Tumenggung Landung immediately gave a dry blanket to cover Wanyan Lan's body so as not to get cold.

After that, everyone was back in front of the bonfire. While outside, heavy rain continued to pour down the Koncar Forest. The day quickly changed night. Song Zhao Meng was seen examining the state of Wanyan Lan's body after changing the medicine patch on the beautiful woman's forehead while the high-ranking Panjalu soldiers at the place gathered to discuss their steps in an attempt to subjugate the Duchy of Rajapura.

"Would we move first or wait for the arrival of the troops led by Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayawarsa, Gusti Pangeran?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka while throwing pieces of dry wood into the fireplace.

"If based on a clear report that in the Duchy of Rajapura City there are approximately 20 thousand soldiers, then we should wait for the Panjalu soldiers to make their concentration on them.

From there, our arrival will be a big surprise for the soldiers of Rajapura if we storm in from the opposite direction. Isn't that so, Dhimas Jayagiri?", Panji Tejo Laksono nudged the left leg of Mapanji Jayagiri who had continuously stolen a glance towards Wanyan Lan who was still in the care of Song Zhao Meng.

"Eh yes Kangmas Tejo Laksono..

I just follow what Kangmas Tejo ordered", Mapanji Jayagiri stuttered and answered Panji Tejo Laksono's question as much as possible because his attention was fixated on the figure of Wanyan Lan. Seeing the actions of his sister, Panji Tejo Laksono shook his head while smiling meaningfully.

'Jayagiri smitten with Wanyan Lan apparently'
