"Don't act rashly, Dhimas Jayagiri!"
That loud speech instantly shocked everyone in that place. Everyone immediately turned their heads towards the source of the voice that was at the end of the entrance of this Panjalu defensive fortification meeting hall. Includes Mapanji Jayagiri who stares sharply towards the entrance of the meeting hall.
From the direction of the door, a well-built young man with a tray face yet looking cunning with a thin grin on the left corner of his lips stepped in. Looking at her luxurious clothes with gold thread embroidery on her edges clearly showed that she was a noble. Yes, he is Mapanji Jayawarsa, Prince Adipati of Bojonegoro who came with several personal guards and some Nayaka king of Bojonegoro.
After being appointed as the new Duke of Bojonegoro, Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately changed the order of government in the territory that is now his land. Old officials such as Patih Mpu Nalagandi and Senopati Mpu Sangku with young people such as Patih Gelangwesi and Senopati Randusongo were obedient with all his edicts. The old officials were then placed in positions that barely have any authority in the leadership of the young prince of Kadiri such as Mantri Amancapraja, Mantri Prawiracarita or other positions.
The massive overhaul carried out by Mapanji Jayawarsa is not without any problems behind it. The old officials who felt himself removed by the new Duke of Bojonegoro certainly did not remain silent. Basically they are the ones who regulate the wheels of the Bojonegoro economy. They deliberately withhold the circulation of basic food items Bojonegoro community until now in Bojonegoro happen pacifik.
Added to this was the desire of the new Duke of Bojonegoro who wanted to strengthen his army which resulted in an increase in earth taxes and annual tributes. This situation increasingly suffocates the neck of the citizens of the Duchy of Bojonegoro.
This resulted in the emergence of various public dissatisfaction with the leadership of Mapanji Jayawarsa. Several times there have been minor clashes between the farmers and the tax towing officers but these events were not widespread and were heard by the ears of the Kotaraja Kadiri Palace retainers. Until the Kotaraja Kadiri Palace considers that the Duchy of Bojonegoro is fine.
"Jayawarsa Kangmas..
Why did you come here? This is not a place where you can rule at will", said Mapanji Jayagiri who indeed from the beginning until today does not like his half-brother this one.
"Oh is this the attitude of a sister to her brother who came to visit here, Dhimas Jayagiri?
Do not forget that this place is still the territory of the Duchy of Bojonegoro and I have the right to regulate everything in my territory", Mapanji Jayawarsa replied no less fierce.
"Although this is the territory of the Duchy of Bojonegoro, but this region is the territory of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana, Kangmas. And I am a messenger from Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana to replace the duties of Uncle Senopati Agung Narapraja.
So Kangmas didn't have to bother anymore to try to get in the way of my duties and responsibilities to Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana. Remember that!", said Mapanji Jayagiri as he stared intently at Mapanji Jayawarsa.
"Who said I wanted to hinder your duty, Dhimas Jayagiri??
I only warned you not to act rashly in the face of this situation. Am I wrong?", said Mapanji Jayawarsa with a tone of voice that was lower than before. However, he is very afraid of Prabu Jayengrana who does not hesitate to punish anyone who interferes with the tasks he gives. Smart Jayagiri Mapanji deliberately used their father's name to scare his stepbrother.
"Not wrong, Kangmas Jayawarsa. But not in its place. I do not want anyone to disturb me in making a decision, because my own responsibility is to bear.
Kangmas Jayawarsa is not welcome in this place. Please Kangmas return to the Duchy of Bojonegoro Palace", said Mapanji Jayagiri as he raised his right hand.
"Huhhh you arrogant..!!
Someday you will surely regret your arrogance. The retainers of Bojonegoro Palace, let's get away from this place!", after saying so, Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately turned around from inside the meeting room. Patih Gelangwesi and Senopati Randusongo immediately tailed behind him.
The three of them immediately jumped on their horses and immediately kicked him out of the Wanua Sungging fortress followed by the soldiers of the personal guard of Duke Bojonegoro.
Seeing the departure of Mapanji Jayawarsa and his followers, high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers such as Tumenggung Purubaya and Tumenggung Lamuri from Muria, were, Tumenggung Banar from Anjuk Farm and Demung Krida from Lasem and Tumenggung Landung breathed a sigh of relief. Because if until these two young princes hit because of the debate, they would certainly be confused to separate them.
Discussion of the invasion plan was immediately resumed after the departure of the new Duke of Bojonegoro. Aided by Tumenggung Landung who is already experienced in handling warfare with young Prabu Jayengrana aka Panji Watugunung, Mapanji Jayagiri immediately composed everything needed to pound the Jenggala soldiers.
After passing the Wanua Sungging boundary monument, Mapanji Jayagiri immediately pulled the reins of his horse. This made the movement of the Bojonegoro warrior troupe immediately stopped.
"Bad Jayagiri!
He dared to humiliate me in front of the retainers of the Panjalu warriors. I want to kill him right now!", cried Mapanji Jayawarsa, clenching his hands tightly. None of the Bojonegoro soldiers dared to speak out. The atmosphere became silent for a moment.
"Randusongo!! Come here you.!!", called by Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately jumped down from his horse and approached the horse of the leader of the group.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince Duke..
There is a duty for servants?", said Senopati Randusongo immediately.
"Jayagiri needs to be taught a lesson, Randusongo!!
You came to Ki Krembung in his lair. Ask him to divulge Jayagiri's plan to Jenggala's side. Here's the wages for her", Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately reached behind her clothes and pulled out a bag of gold pieces that thought it contained 100 gold pieces. Soon he reached out to Senopati Randusongo. The high-ranking officer of the Bojonegoro soldier immediately received the black cloth bag and immediately put it under his shirt.
After which, immediately he leaped onto his horse mount and quickly kicked his horse it darted towards the southeast. Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately grinned broadly staring at the departure of Senopati Randusongo and his 10-man bodyguard.
'Jayagiri !! I will definitely party once I hear the news that you were defeated by the Jenggala people hehehehe..'
After that Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately returned to spur his horse towards the Duchy of Bojonegoro Palace with Patih Gelangwesi and his guard soldiers.
Meanwhile, Senopati Randusongo continues to drive his horse riding towards the residence Ki Krembung which is North of Kapulungan River or Brantas River precisely across the territory of Pakuwon Tamwelang City.
Ki Krembung is a swordsman who is willing to do anything as long as you get money, whether it's dirty or clean work. His nickname as the Wolves Golok Swordsman in the Duchy of Matahun, Bojonegoro and the border of Jenggala region is quite famous. This stocky middle-aged man who is loyal to this beautiful woman always needs a lot of silver and gold pieces to fulfill his desires in the brothel that is near the banks of the Kapulungan River.
Arriving at a large wooden house and crowded by striped men and located not far from the banks of the Kapulungan River, Senopati Randusongo immediately stopped the pace of his horse. Some beautiful women with only half sagging kemben that showed their large breasts immediately dyed staring at the soldiers and a burly man dressed in noble clothes.
"Well, there's a lot of money coming..
I go first, no one tries to seize it" said a beautiful woman about two and a half decades old who blushed red with white powder that smelled fragrant. He was called Kenanga. Whether it's a real name or just a pseudonym.
Kenanga is indeed a prima donna for the brothel that is managed by Ki Sumo, the owner of the house who also babysit the prostitutes in that place.
"You take it easy, Kenanga..
After you hooked up the officer, the soldiers are also still good enough for us we are here hihihihihi", replied flirtatious one of the women in skimpy clothes.
"Official Officer, looks like this is the first time I've seen you come here.
What can I help you with? If you want to relax those big muscles on the bed, I'm ready to serve you. But it cost no less than 1 gold kepeng because I am the most beautiful woman in this place hihihi", asked Kenanga while offering her.
"I don't want to fuck you. I'm just looking for Ki Krembung's whereabouts. If you know where he is, tell me quickly", replied Senopati Randusongo immediately.
"If you ask the whereabouts of people, it costs 1 piece of silver" Kenanga replied as she opened her palm to the front of Senopati Randusongo.
"That's expensive.. Just ask people who have to pay for everything", Senopati Randusongo.
"If you don't pay already! Just look for your eye seeds, Gusti Perwira. I'm sure you won't be able to find it" said Kenanga ketus while turning around. But Senopati Randusongo immediately grabbed Kenanga's left wrist until the prima donna of the brothel immediately stopped.
"Patience, why get angry so quickly? I was just kidding..
It's a gold can. If you can bring me together with Ki Krembung, it will be yours" Senopati Randy said as she stuffed a piece of gold into Kenanga's hand. The pretty whore's eyes instantly widened as he looked at the golden flap in his left hand. He did not expect that Senopati Randusongo would give a gold kepeng when he was just pretending to ask for a reward.
"Let's Gusti Perwira, I take you to Ki Krembung's place" said Kenanga while pulling Senopati Randusongo's hand.
While walking into the mansion, Senopati Randusongo immediately turned to his men.
"You guys just wait outside until I get back".
The soldiers of his guard only nodded while respecting their superiors.
Kenanga continued to hold Senopati Randusongo's hand into the hallway of the large house consisting of dozens of bedrooms. When he reached the end of the hall, Kenanga released Senopati Randusongo's hand and immediately knocked on a room door in the corner.
Thhooookkkk!!!
"Two bangka, get up!! There's a guy looking for you, it looks like he's got a job for you..
Quickly open the door to her room. Old man, get up!!!", cried Kenanga while knocking on the door of the room continuously. Looks like he knows Ki Krembung well to call his name with the name old bangka.
Not long after, there was the sound of gasping breath and footsteps towards the bedroom door. And ...
Krrriiiieeeeeeeeetttthhh!!!
The face of a stocky man with a thick short beard with a thin face like the appearance of a wolf poking out from behind a door leaf. Sweat still soaked his chest that field. While in bed, a young woman was naked without a thread staring at Kenanga and Senopati Randusongo. Not uncomfortable because it was seen by them, the woman even deliberately teased Senopati Randusongo by opening her thighs wide while smiling flirtatiously.
Of course Senopati Randusongo as a normal man was also lured to see the sight. But Ki Krembung's loud voice immediately resuscitated him.
"Hey the rancid officer!
You looking for me what business? Quickly tell me, my woman is waiting for me to sleep" Ki Krembung said immediately.
"There's a duty for you, the Wolves' Swordsman. You just go to the big camp of the Jenggala soldiers in the west of Pakuwon Babat City, and tell their leader that the Panjalu soldiers plan to attack them tomorrow.
This is half your pay. After I finished meeting me in the big market of Bojonegoro City to ask for half more" Senopati Randusongo said as he threw a bag of gold kepeng containing about 50 gold pieces to Ki Krembung. The thick-bodied middle-aged man immediately caught up to him and smiled widely.
"Easy duty..
Tomorrow morning meet me at the place you promised. Prepare the rest of my wages. If you lie, it's your head that I'll make up instead", after saying so, Ki Krembung immediately went back into the room and closed the bedroom door. There was the sound of giggling laughter from within, and the next sound was heard whizzing from inside the bedroom.
"Official Officer, my job is done, isn't it? Now it's time for me to get out" said Kenanga as she turned around but returned Senopati Randusongo's hand to block her wrist.
"What else?", asked Kenanga in surprise.
"I want to sleep first with you" said Senopati Randusongo while moving quickly carrying the lean body of Kenanga.
"Hey it's out of agreement, Gusti Officer. If you want to sleep with me, the pay is 2 gold pieces", said Kenanga while staring at the stern face of Senopati Randusongo who carried her into one of the empty rooms not far from the place of Ki Krembung.
"That's easy!", said Senopati Randusongo as she closed the bedroom door immediately. Shortly thereafter sound********* enjoy Kenanga who is serving the lust Senopati Randusongo.
Long enough Senopati Randusongo pedaling pleasure along with Kenanga. The Bojonegoro soldiers waiting outside had been grumbling inwardly ever since.
Senopati Randusongo came out from inside the mansion while fanning his sweaty body followed by Kenanga who was writhing spoiled on her left arm.
"Have just got here. I will return to Bojonegoro" Senopati Randusongo said with a meaningful smile.
"If you come again, don't forget to find me Gusti Officer. I guarantee my service will not disappoint you", said Kenanga with a flirtatious smile.
After releasing his horse harness, Senopati Randusongo immediately jumped on his horse and spurred his way to the Duchy of Bojonegoro.
The day passed so quickly. Not feeling dusk has turned the western horizon into red which is a sign that soon night will arrive.
Ki Krembung who used the science of lightening his body Ajian Step Wolf ran fast like it was not treading the ground.
Just as dusk began to disappear marked by the exit of bats foraging, Ki Krembung had arrived near the large camp of the Jenggala soldiers. With a meaningful smile, Ki Krembung immediately darted quickly towards the large tent that became the center of the movement of the Jenggala soldiers.
"Time to do the job"
