The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Wasesodirjo and Raden Sindupati

"Kangmas Duke !

Don't be too rude with your own son. She is your own flesh and blood Kangmas" said the Yellow Flower consort, Dyah Lembayung, who was sitting next to her.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhh...

If it wasn't my son, I'd have chopped off his head from yesterday Dinda Lembayung. It is time we send tribute and earth tax to Kadiri while the palace treasury of Kembang Kuning is empty like this.

Want to put where my face if to disappoint Gusti Prabu Jayengrana?", the Duke of Dewangkara snorted loudly while glancing at Raden Sindupati who was still down.

"Kangmas Adipati is too afraid of Gusti Prabu Jayengrana. If once too late to pay tribute, is not human Kangmas?", Dyah Lembayung tried to find a gap to dampen the emotions of the ruler of Kembang Kuning Duchy.

"Whatdidyou say? How can you feel the bitter pain of my struggle before I sit on the throne of the Yellow Flower Duchy?

This is the awarding department of Gusti Prabu Jayengrana. If it wasn't for him, maybe I would still be in the Duchy of Lasem and just be a senopati. I only return the goodwill to Gusti Prabu Jayengrana who has given the award of this position to me, Dinda Lembayung.

If you don't want me to be angry, you better not interfere in my affairs with the state palace.

.

Now take care of that your son. If until tomorrow there is no typical return of the Yellow Duchy palace, do not blame me for acting firmly on him. This is the result if you overindulge him", after saying so, Duke Dewangkara immediately went to leave the place.

After the departure of Duke Dewangkara, Dyah Lembayung immediately approached Raden Sindupati.

"Sindupati my son, what exactly is your purpose in taking money from the palace treasurer?

If you're honest, I'm willing to help you find a way out. You know your Father is not just angry at the mouth if it goes like that" Dyah Lembayung said gently. Raden Sindupati is his favorite son.

"Kanjeng Mama, please,

That money has been spent by Sindupati to help padepokan silat where I studied kanuragan science. My teacher needs a lot of money to repair the almost collapsed block.

Since there was no other way, Sindupati had to do it" Raden Sindupati lied to his mother.

"You've been honest with mom? You're not lying to your mother, are you?", Dyah Lembayung stared at Raden Sindupati's face as if trying to figure out what his beloved son was hiding.

"Really Kanjeng Ibu, Sindupati will not dare to lie to Kanjeng Ibu", Raden Sindupati's face looks really real. He's really good at theatrics.

Hmmmmmm

Although still feeling less confident with Raden Sindupati's words, Dyah Lembayung immediately smiled faintly.

"Well my son, this time I'll help you. You wait here for a moment", after saying that, Dyah Lembayung immediately stepped towards his bedroom. Not long after, he returned with a beautiful carved black wooden box. Once in front of Raden Sindupati, Dyah Lembayung immediately opened the black wooden box in front of Raden Sindupati.

Raden Sindupati's eyes immediately widened when he saw the contents in the black box. Dozens of jewels, pearls and diamond gems were inside her.

"Sell all this, then replace all the money you gave your teacher. I can only help you once, my son. These are all my stash, your Father doesn't know it" Dyah Lembayung said as she closed the black wooden box and gave it to Raden Sindupati.

"Thank you for the help, Ibu Kanjeng.

With this Sindupati survived the wrath of the Kanjeng Romo.

Sindupati pamit resigned ", Raden Sindupati immediately saluted Dyah Lembayung before withdrawing from the Duke's private room.

Dyah Lembayung only let out a long sigh as he looked at Raden Sindupati who then disappeared behind the palace gate. The Duchess of Dewangkara immediately turned her body and returned to Keputren.

Meanwhile Raden Sindupati immediately rushed to Juragan Ki Kromo's house. The middle-aged man's house, which usually trades in jewelry, is located in the eastern city of the Yellow Flower Duchy. Together with his 4 personal guard soldiers, Raden Sindupati rode there.

Arriving there, 4 large-bodied temples are seen guarding in front of the residence of the master.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Duke's son, the temples immediately respected and gave way to Raden Sindupati.

A fat man with a slightly distended stomach appears to be sitting on a fairly large teak chair in the large joglo of the jeweler's residence. Her clothes made of expensive silk in red ornate embroidery thread beautifully adorned her lush body. A row of gold jewelry appears to decorate the neck of Juragan Ki Kromo. This middle-aged man with 4 wives is indeed a rich man in the Kadipaten Kembang Kuning.

Seeing the arrival of Raden Sindupati, Juragan Ki Kromo immediately stood up from his seat. He immediately welcomed the arrival of the Duke of Yellow Flower's son with great respect.

"Welcome to the slave hut, Gusti Prince..

Kog tumben once Gusti Prince is willing to come to the bad place of this servant. What makes Raden Sindupati willing to take the time?", asked Juragan Ki Kromo quickly.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, Juragan Ki Kromo.

But I only want to speak with four eyes" Raden Sindupati replied immediately.

Hearing that answer, Juragan Ki Kromo immediately turned his head towards his two maids. The two young women sitting on the floor of the large joglo immediately understood the sign of the master. They immediately saluted and rushed towards the back. Raden Sindupati immediately shook his hand at the guards. The four soldiers immediately retreated after respecting Raden Sindupati.

After everything was gone, Raden Sindupati immediately placed the black cloth bundle that wrapped the beautiful carved black wooden box on the table.

"Open Ki..."

Hearing Raden Sindupati's orders, Juragan Ki Kromo immediately opened the black cloth and found the beautiful carved black wooden box. Soon he opened the lid of the black wooden box.

"What does this all mean, Gusti Prince?", asked Juragan Ki Kromo after seeing the contents of the black wooden box.

"I want to sell it, Ki..

I need a lot of money. Let's count how much money I got from the jewels?", Raden Sindupati said.

Deftly, Ki Kromo instantly estimated the sum of everything. After counting for a while, Ki Kromo immediately turned his head towards Raden Sindupati.

"Everything is worth 300 gold pieces, Gusti Prince. That is the highest price I can give. And I think none of the jewelers in Kadipaten Kembang Kuning City who dare to give such a high price other than servants" said Ki Kromo with a faint smile.

Can't you add 500 gold kepeng Ki?", asked Raden Sindupati immediately.

"That's the highest price Gusti Prince. More than that, I dare not. If Gusti Prince wants to try on other traders, please go ahead" replied Ki Kromo while closing the lid of the black wooden box.

Mmmmmm...

There was the sound of a long sigh coming from Raden Sindupati's mouth. Ki Kromo who saw that, immediately asked the prince of the palace of Kembang Kuning Duchy.

"I apologize if I was sassy. Looks like Gusti Prince is having a problem. If you'd like, can Gusti Prince tell you? It's possible that I can help" Ki Kromo said immediately.

"I sold this jewelry because it took money to return it to the treasurer of the Yellow Duchy, Ki..

I need at least 500 gold pieces. If I can't return it, the Duke of Kanjeng Romo will punish me. Can you help me Ki?", Raden Sindupati looked at Ki Kromo's face expectantly. Hearing that, Ki Kromo immediately smiled widely. The opportunity he was waiting for finally arrived.

"I could've helped Gusti Prince. That's the easy thing. But there is a condition if Gusti Prince wants the help of servants" Ki Kromo said as he stepped around a large table in his large joglo residence.

"What are Ki's terms? Quickly say", asked Raden Sindupati immediately.

"Gusti Prince should marry my daughter, Roro Pujawati. Let alone 500 gold pieces, 1000 gold pieces I will provide for Gusti Prince from Gusti Prince willing", replied Ki Kromo with a big smile.

Hearing that answer, Raden Sindupati was surprised but quickly took control of him.

'This old west apparently wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become a relative of the palace of Kembang Kuning Duchy.

Alright, then,

There's nothing to lose if I have rich in-laws like her. Later if I have managed to master his treasure, I will make you a gem', inner Raden Sindupati. The second son of the Yellow Flower Duke smirked faintly.

"All right, I'm ready.

Now please help me Ki. I must quickly return the money to the palace. After this business is settled I will soon marry your daughter" said Raden Sindupati who immediately made Ki Kromo immediately smiled widely.

The tall man immediately rushed the black wooden box into his house. Then return to the front of Raden Sindupati while carrying 5 bags of black cloth containing hundreds of gold pieces.

Raden Sindupati immediately took it and quickly left the place towards the Yellow Flower Duchy Palace. Meanwhile Ki Kromo who was happy because he soon had a son-in-law of a prince immediately laughed happily.

On the road leading towards the Palace, Raden Sindupati suddenly remembered his promise to meet Wasesodirjo on the edge of the forest south of Kadipaten Kembang Kuning City. After ordering his soldiers to return first, Raden Sindupati immediately spurred his horse towards the small forest. As soon as he got near the place he was referring to, Raden Sindupati immediately changed her clothes and put on a half-face iron mask.

Whhhuuugghh !

Jleegg !

Raden Sindupati landed near Wasesodirjo sitting under a shady tree on the edge of a small forest.

"What's our plan, hunchback?".

"Satan Gendeng was actually killed by the Vice Palace Envoy, the leader. What should we do next?", Wasesodirjo bowed respectfully to Raden Sindupati.

"Fuck up!

Being able to finish the life of the Jerky Demon was a sign that his martial arts could not be taken lightly. You keep an eye on their movements. Tomorrow afternoon meet me at the Ki Wongsorejo brothel", after saying so Raden Sindupati immediately darted away from Wasesodirjo who was still silent in his place.

"Well, you freak" Wasesodirjo maki while darting in the opposite direction to the departure of Raden Sindupati.

****

"Panji Gold, please,

In a moment we will arrive at Kadipaten Kembang Kuning. Mumpung still afternoon, we continue to the west or stop first in this city Denmas?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka while staring at Panji Tejo Laksono who rode beside him.

"We need to rest Uncle Ludaka..

Look how Uncle Gumbreg is doing. It seems like the pain is recurring again" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he turned to Demung Gumbreg. Their horses walked slowly when entering the boundary of Kadipaten Kembang Kuning.

"Ah if it's not Denmas Panji's pain", sergeant Tumenggung Ludaka with a meaningful smile.

"Loh kog can do that, Uncle? What could make Uncle Gumbreg pale if not sick?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared in wonder at Demung Gumbreg who was just pouting.

"He lost a bet with me, Denmas Panji.

The bet is to buy food for everyone who takes part in our journey once we get to the big city.

Well if only we eight people are still light, now our group members reach 20 Denmas. Kan quite drained the contents of his kepeng bag hehehe ", Tumenggung Ludaka chuckled amusedly.

"Fuck you Lu..

Friends are hard when you laugh. It's true that there is no sense of humanity " Demung Gumbreg grumbled.

"Once the deal, no more bargaining. Guys, this afternoon we ate the whole thing. Our friend, Gumbreg is celebrating his birthday. He will treat us all ", said Tumenggung Ludaka loudly. Everyone immediately heard the voice except for Demung Gumbreg.

After a long time entering the area of Kadipaten Kembang Kuning, Panji Tejo Laksono pulled the reins of his horse in the yard of a food stall that was quite crowded visited by his customers. Soon the young prince of Kadiri jumped down from his horse followed by the rest of the party. They immediately tied his horse's harness to the horse's deck at the edge of the courtyard of the restaurant.

Upon entering the dining room, Tumenggung Ludaka's eyes were fixed on a hunchback man who was enjoying his food in the corner of the room. Immediately he slowly elbowed the waist of Panji Tejo Laksono. The young prince immediately turned his head towards Tumenggung Ludaka. From the signal given, Panji Tejo Laksono's eyes immediately turned to Wasesodirjo aka Swordsman Bongkok from Goa Karang Pulut who was busy chewing his grilled chicken meat order.

Panji Tejo Laksono directly walked up to the table where Wasesodirjo aka Swamplower from Goa Karang Pulut was located.

The arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends of course made Wasesodirjo surprised not to play, especially with the leisure Panji Tejo Laksono greeted him kindly.

"We meet again the Swordsman!"
