The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Roadmen

Dyah Sawitri segera menerima uluran daging babi hutan panggang itu dan langsung memakannya. Sedari tadi siang perutnya memang tidak di isi makanan secuil pun karena sibuk menyelematkan diri dari kejaran para anak buah Mahananda yang ingin menangkap nya. Sepotong daging babi hutan panggang itu dia makan, sedangkan sepotong lagi di berikan kepada Anggana yang terkapar lemah di pembaringan.

"That roast is delicious..

You're very good at cooking, Nisanak. Not inferior to the cuisine of large food stalls in Kanjuruhan City" said Dyah Sawitri in between meals.

Dyah Kirana smiled faintly at Dyah Sawitri's praise.

"It wasn't me who cooked it, Nini Sawitri. It was all Kangmas Tejo Laksono did. I was just helping her" Dyah Kirana said immediately.

Hearing that remark, Dyah Sawitri immediately looked towards Panji Tejo Laksono for a while then resumed eating. Anggana bit by bit chewed the roasted wild pork. Sick and hungry who tortured him a little treated after eating roasted wild pork made by Panji Tejo Laksono.

After his dinner ended, Dyah Sawitri resumed his story. Occasionally Anggana chimed in a few words. He apparently already had a little energy after eating the food given to him.

"Give it to your lover.. This would stop the bleeding from her wounds.", Song Zhao Meng held out a small black pill to Dyah Sawitri after the woman ended her story. The soul of his healer who wanted to save the lives of others, made him not bear to see Anggana back and forth grimacing withstood the pain as his wound bled again.

"Thank you for your help, Nini Wulandari..

I really didn't expect that Nini was a physician..", Dyah Sawitri immediately received a helping hand from Song Zhao Meng and immediately drank the medicine to Anggana with the help of drinking water given by Dyah Kirana.

The night continues to rise. Until near midnight, the five of them continued to chat about many things. The influence of the medicine given by Song Zhao Meng made Anggana fall asleep first. Song Zhao Meng took turns to stand guard, while Panji Tejo Laksono sank in his medley until the morning came.

Kukkurruyuuukkk....!!!

The sound of the crowing of the rooster sounds earthy several times indicating that the morning has arrived. Slowly the cold night mist that had descended around the place began to be driven away when the warm light of the morning sun began to appear on the eastern horizon. Simultaneously, the birds chirping began to sound low boisterous from the branches of the trees in the forest.

Dyah Sawitri was seen writhing up from his sleep. Once conscious, he immediately turned his head towards Anggana who was sound asleep on his right side. Seeing the regular breath of the man in his heart, Dyah Sawitri breathed a sigh of relief. After that he immediately turned his head towards Panji Tejo Laksono and his two wives.

Song Zhao Meng also smiled sweetly at Dyah Sawitri while folding the black cloth that became her bed with Dyah Kirana and Panji Tejo Laksono. The prince himself was bathing his horse in a small river not far from where they had spent the night. While Dyah Kirana seemed to have just washed her beautiful face in the small river, walking up to them.

Dyah Sawitri immediately woke Anggana. The burly man immediately wriggled up from his sleep. His face was brighter than when he came last night. His wounds also no longer bleed.

"How are you doing, Kakang? Is it better?", asked Dyah Sawitri immediately.

"The medicine given by Nini Wulandari really works, Sawitri..

My wounds are no longer bleeding and my body feels fresher. It was really a nutritious medicine" Anggana replied as she tried to get out of her bed. Dyah Sawitri deftly helps the lover to wake up.

"Thank you very much for your help, Nini Wulandari. I don't know how to repay your kindness other than with a big thank you", Anggana said as he bowed respectfully to Song Zhao Meng.

"That's it..

Fellow travelers should help each other on the journey. I still have a few more medicines that can help you recover quickly. I will give it to you later", Song Zhao Meng replied with a faint smile.

"One more time I say thank you very much, Nini Wulandari. Good people like Nini may always be in the protection of Hyang Agung", replied Dyah Sawitri immediately.

Panji Tejo Laksono walked up to the four of them while guiding the 2 horses that were the mounts of Dyah Kirana and Song Zhao Meng.

"After this, what are the plans of the two of you?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he looked towards Dyah Sawitri and Anggana alternately.

"We don't know where to go, Pendekar Tejo..

What is clear is that we will leave this Jenggala Kingdom because if we are still here, Mahananda's men will continue to interfere with the lives of both of us" Anggana said as he bowed as if in despair.

Mmmmmm..

"If so, you should come with us to Seloageng. There is a place you can live in as a home. The body is strong, definitely able to work hard.

Try telling me, what skills do you have Anggana?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at Anggana.

"I am adept at sculpting statues and installing buildings, Pendekar.", answered Anggana immediately.

"good..

Then there are a lot of jobs for people like you in Seloageng. You use Dinda Wulandari's horse, this horse is strong enough to hold the weight of two people for a while until we reach Tumapel", Panji Tejo Laksono held out Song Zhao Meng's horse harness to Anggana. Dyah Sawitri and Anggana immediately looked at each other for a moment. A look of happiness emanated clearly from the faces of the two of them. The two immediately bowed respectfully to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Thank you so much for the Swordsman.."

That morning after preparing all the needs, Panji Tejo Laksono and his two wives continued their journey. Now in their entourage there are two more people. As the severed sun rose in the eastern sky, they reached Pakuwon Tumapel City.

There was one thing that they did not realize that there was a pair of eyes that continued to pay attention to their movements unnoticed. As soon as Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades set off towards the west, the owner of these eyes immediately rushed to leave his peeking spot.

After riding for a while, this burly man with the face of the roar immediately jumped down from his horse and ran towards the several people who were gathering in a wooden hut near the wide rice field. A young man with a pockmarked face around his eyes with a thick mustache immediately stood up as soon as he saw this burly man running towards where he was.

"Pritanjal..

Looks like you brought some good news. Quickly tell me, hurry up.", said the pock-faced man immediately.

"Hooosshhh..

I-it's Raden Mahananda, it's Dyah Sawitri there in the town of Pakuwon Tumapel hooosshhh hooosshhh..", said the burly man called by the name of Pritanjala immediately while adjusting his breath that ngosan because of the rush. Apparently he was one of the many spies scattered by Mahananda to look for the existence of the figure of Dyah Sawitri after escaping an ambush the other day.

"Hehehehe nice Pritanjala...

That woman will never be able to escape my pursuit that easily. So the grasshopper boy is still with him?", asked Raden Mahananda, the pock-faced man who was betrothed to Dyah Sawitri.

"Hooosh... He's still with Dyah Sawitri, Raden. Surprisingly his injuries were like they had no effect on his body. His face was already looking fit despite the bandage on his wound.

And now they are not alone. There were 1 young man and 2 beautiful women along with them. It looks like they are heading west", continued Pritanjala immediately.

"Western? Mmmmmm...

Lest they want to go towards Seloageng to escape our pursuit. Goddamn it, this can't be left alone. Come on, we intercept them outside the city of Pakuwon Tumapel before we can no longer hunt them in the territory of the Kingdom of Panjalu!", hear Mahananda's invitation, he said, the ten people dressed like a swordsman immediately nodded in understanding. Led by Mahananda, along with Pritanjala who was the guide, they all immediately rushed towards the west to intercept the group of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Because accompanying Song Zhao Meng and Dyah Kirana who was smitten bought some good fabrics in the big market of Pakuwon Tumapel City, Panji Tejo Laksono's trip faltered a little while. But they finally went back to the west after the prince fulfilled the wishes of his two wives.

After passing the boundary monument of Pakuwon Tumapel City, the group of Panji Tejo Laksono continued to move west. Right in the middle of a small forest in the west of Pakuwon Tumapel City, all of a sudden..

Shhhrriegg shhrriegg !!

Two arrows shot rapidly towards the group from their right side. The sensitive-eared banner of Tejo Laksono, quickly jerked his right hand towards the two arrows.

Whhhuuth..

Blllaaaaaarrr!!!

Small explosions were heard as high-level power strikes from the Tejo Laksono Panji collided with two arrows aiming for their lives. These two arrows were instantly shattered into pieces.

Of course, this attack was enough to shock the members of the Panji Tejo Laksono troupe until they stopped the movement of their respective mount horses. From the front and back, dozens of people armed with swords, machets and arrows immediately surrounded the group of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Si pockmark Mahananda bastard.", Anggana muttered a little loudly until heard by the ears of Panji Tejo Laksono who rode in front of him. There was a deep voice of hatred towards Mahananda that stood among the obstructors in the voice of Anggana.

Mahananda grinned broadly as she stepped closer to the group of Panji Tejo Laksono. His eyes were immediately fixed on Dyah Sawitri who was riding beside Anggana.

"Oh Sawitri's..

Why are you so stubborn with your stance, huh? Wouldn't you come with me back to Keling, your life wouldn't be lost like this? What's so great about the grass boy when compared to me?!", said Mahananda as she flicked her lips towards Anggana who held tightly to the reins of her horse.

"Raden Mahananda's..

I told you I didn't want to be your wife. My heart belongs to Kakang Anggana. Do you have no self-respect at all so you have to behave like this ha? Can't you find another woman more beautiful than me to be your wife?!", replied Dyah Sawitri fiercely.

"Hehehehe..

Many beautiful women are willing to become the wife of a son Akuwu who will soon replace the position of his father, Sawitri. But my feelings for you nothing can replace. You must be my wife Sawitri.!!", replied Mahananda with a big smile.

Phhuuiiiiii...

"Basic has no self-respect..

Once I said not forever not Raden Mahananda. You better go home to Keling and don't disturb my life anymore", said Dyah Sawitri suddenly made Mahananda snarl loudly. He immediately turned his head towards his men who were still standing in his place while saying out loud,

"Catch the Sawitri ! But don't let him get hurt. If anyone tries to get in the way,

Just kill!!!"
