The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Five Lion Mountain Robber

Gumbreg who was almost uprooted due to his shock immediately snorted loudly, "Brother brash! You want me to die, huh?.

"Sorry Uncle, I didn't accidentally startle you guys. You two talk all whispered anyway. Noiseless people here do not understand our language, so no need to worry.

What's the matter?", Luh Jingga was curious.

"Secret country, children are prohibited from interfering.

There accompany Gusti Prince. Don't bother us both. It's the talk between the men ", throw Gumbreg out while whimpering.

Luh Orange immediately pouted holding back the feeling of resentment in his heart. Princess Resi Damarmoyo of Padepokan Bukit Penemampihan was immediately wandering away from the meeting place, and returned to her room to rest.

It's getting late. The western sky has reddened the sign that the day has dusk and soon the night will come. Some bats can be seen flying out of the cave to feed.

"Decipital Huang, "Decipient Huang,

The day has become more and more afternoon. I beg you to resign. Tomorrow morning we plan to go to the residence of the Governor of Hangzhou to request his road letter to the Imperial Song City. If you are not busy, please help us to talk to the Governor of Hangzhou" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he bowed slightly to Huang Lung.

"Of course Pendekar Thee..

Then I'll excuse you. I'll be here again in the morning. See you tomorrow morning ", Huang Lung bowed her body while paying special tribute to the Chinese Land to the Panji Tejo Laksono before leaving the place. Panji Tejo Laksono kept staring towards the departure of Huang Lung who he thought was a little mysterious.

The atmosphere of Lin'an City was getting darker along with its descending night.

After leaving the premises of Tejo Laksono Banner, Huang Lung continued to walk away from the Spring Inn. Even without the slightest escort, Huang Lung still looks calm across the road even though the day is getting darker.

A pair of eyes kept watching Huang Lung's movements from a distance.

On the edge of Lin'an City, there was a magnificent pavilion standing on the edge of the West Lake. This high walled pavilion was indeed a mysterious place. The people of Lin'an City had absolutely no idea who the owner of this pavilion that was named the Green Willow Pavilion was. The scenery in Green Willow Pavilion looks beautiful with lush trees that flower beautifully in spring.

Huang Lung turned towards the inside of the place. The two pavilion doorkeepers bowed respectfully to Huang Lung without saying much and directly opened the doors of the Green Willow Pavilion. Huang Lung went in there.

The two people who followed Huang Lung's movements looked at each other for a moment to see Huang Lung enter the Green Willow Pavilion. They immediately rushed back in the direction they were moving in. Near a pagoda located south of West Lake, the two men stopped their steps. It was a five-story pagoda called Leifeng pagoda. It is said that the Leifeng Pagoda is the place where the legend of the white snake originated.

A burly man wearing black and yellow clothes like tiger skin stood upright looking at the West Lake at night. His eyes looked sharp as if a tiger was aiming for prey. The middle-aged man who was around 5 decades old seemed to stroke his chin with a thick beard. He looked very unsettled as he briefly turned towards the east side. He was Hauw Tian, one of the Elders of the Iron Tiger Sect, a white-flow group that was very much in disdain in the region south of the Yellow River. His goal to this place was due to the task that the Iron Tiger Sect Chief had charged to keep an eye on Huang Lung's movements. Hauw Tian had already followed Huang Lung's footsteps when he entered the Song Imperial Region after Xi Xia (West Xia) the place where Kunlun Mountain was located.

"Sincerely our Elders!"

The two people in yellow black clothes immediately saluted Hauw Tian as soon as they got near the old man.

Mmmmmm..

"How's your stalking? There was already a result?", Hauw Tian turned his head towards his two men quickly.

"Old Report, sir,

Huang Lung had been in the Spring Inn all day and had fought with Wang Xin Fei. We also saw Huo Tu the Western Poison leave the Spring Inn with a deep wound" said one member of the Iron Tiger Sect. Shocked Hauw Tian heard the report delivered by his men.

"Huhhhh??!!

Huo Tu could be injured inside? Who could hurt Huo Tu like that? I just have to try desperately to survive the fight with the Western Poison".

"I'm sorry we didn't know, Elder.

It was clearly not Wang Xin Fei or Huang Lung that injured Huo Tu. Because Wang Xin Fei was soon out of the Spring Inn was also injured. While Huang Lung was a little pale when he came home.

All we know is that in the Spring Inn there is now a group of strangely dressed people who are mostly tanned. Their eyes are wide and their language is also strange. Similar to people who live in the South" one of the stalkers said immediately.

"Is it possible that they injured Huo Tu? This is so weird.

What about Huang Lung? Where had he been tonight?", Hauw Tian now turned his body towards the two of them.

"Huang Lung entered into the Green Willow Pavilion. It seemed like the gatekeepers of the pavilion respected him a lot.

Elder please lower the order for us", the two Iron Tiger Sect members bowed respectfully to Hauw Tian.

Mmmmmm..

"You two keep an eye on the Spring Inn. Report any suspicious movements seen.

I will send others to watch over the Green Willow Pavilion" Hauw Tian said as he shook his hand.

"We understand the Elder".

After enough of them spoke, the two Iron Tiger Sect members immediately rushed away leaving Hauw Tian who was still standing in his place.

From behind the darkness of the night, two masked black-clad tigers approached Hauw Tian.

Without saying much, the two masked men immediately darted rapidly towards the intended direction. Hauw Tian sighed heavily before leaving the place. The task of the Iron Tiger Sect Chief was really draining his energy and brain.

The night passed quickly. The night darkness in Lin'an City slowly disappeared along with the appearance of the morning sun in the eastern horizon. The bird story begins to unpretentiously welcome the arrival of the king of the day which will soon illuminate the entire universe.

That morning Panji Tejo Laksono woke up earlier than usual. Luh Jingga who used to wake the prince to be surprised to see the prince has bathed and dressed neatly with a dark blue color that became his favorite color. The weather in Lin'an City is indeed quite cold, much different from the conditions in the hotter Jawadwipa Land. This is also why Panji Tejo Laksono prefers to use tightly sealed clothes to withstand the cold air.

After breakfast together, Panji Tejo Laksono and half his followers immediately stepped out towards the horse carriage that had been prepared by Rakryan Purusoma. Not to forget they brought a small portion of gift souvenirs to Su Dong Po aka Su Shi, Governor of Hangzhou who is also a famous poet.

From the east, Huang Lung also appeared with his trademark smile, "Wah Pendekar Thee, Uncle Pu..

You are ready in the morning. It's a good thing I came sooner, otherwise you guys would've left".

"We want to finish the task as soon as possible, Pendekar Huang..

Then quickly return to our country to continue living. So we want to immediately meet with the Governor of Hangzhou to ask for a road letter so that we can go to the Capital of Kaifeng ", said Rakryan Purusoma while respecting Huang Lung.

"Oh so..

Well Uncle Pu, Swordsman Thee let's now go to the residence of the Governor of Hangzhou to get his road letter", finished speaking thus, Huang Lung with the typical clothes of the luxurious Chinese Land directly climbed onto the horse carriage along with the Panji Tejo Laksono, Rakryan Purusoma and Luh Jingga. The other followers of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately jumped on their horses and the party immediately moved towards the Hangzhou Governor's Residence.

4 The gatekeeper of the Hangzhou Governor's Residence immediately bowed respectfully to the group after seeing Huang Lung take part in this entourage. It seemed like they had known Huang Lung so well that it was easy to get Huang Lung out of the regular checkups they used to do.

The governor of Hangzhou was excited to welcome Huang Lung's arrival after being notified by the guards in front. This long-bearded old man who was around 6 decades old seemed to have great respect for Huang Lung.

"Welcome to my residence, Brother Huang..

Let's please come in. You really like to give big surprises to people like me" Governor Su Shi aka Su Dong Po kindly said. Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers were a little surprised to see the friendly Hangzhou Governor to Huang Lung. There was a question that immediately stuck their brains about the identity of this Huang Lung.

After quite a short pleasantry, Huang Lung immediately conveyed his intention to request a road letter from the Governor of Hangzhou as a condition for entry to the Imperial Capital of Song. Soon the Governor of Hangzhou asked his subordinates to prepare what Huang Lung asked for. While waiting for the letter of the road, Su Dong Po invites them to drink tea. Of course the offer was welcomed warmly by Huang Lung. Although a little surprised by Governor Su Shi's good attitude, Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends still follow Huang Lung's invitation because they need the letter as soon as possible.

After the road letter was completed, Hangzhou Governor Su Dong Po immediately affixed a red stamp as a sign of his endorsement. Then the man who was also a great poet in the Song Empire immediately gave the letter to Panji Tejo Laksono on the advice of Huang Lung. Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades immediately implored themselves after getting what they wanted as they had to get ready to leave for the Imperial Capital of Song. Huang Lung was with them. The governor of Hangzhou stared at their departure.

"Your Majesty the Governor,

Why are you so humble to Swordsman Huang? You are a great man again honorable, not worthy of such humiliation", said the official residence of the Governor of Hangzhou while respecting.

"You don't know who Swordsman Huang Lung really is. This is a big secret, not everyone knows.

Next time he comes here again, you have to be nice to him so as not to be a problem later on", Su Shi aka Su Dong Po soon passed leaving the residence of the Governor of Hangzhou who was still confused by the attitude of the Lord of Hangzhou.

That afternoon the group of Panji Tejo Laksono prepared themselves as well as possible to leave for the Capital of Kaifeng. There were two horse carriages that became their main vehicles. The other two horse carriages were filled by chariots and gift luggage for Emperor Song. One of the gifts was a statue of the Buddha one fathom tall in a mediated position. With the exception of jewelry and precious stones, all items are neatly arranged on the train.

A pair of eyes kept an eye on the movements of the Panjalu soldiers assigned to escort the horse-drawn carriage. Huang Lung who was seen among them was the main reconnaissance conducted by two members of the Iron Tiger Sect.

A day full Panji Tejo Laksono group prepared everything until dusk before arriving in Lin'an Port City.

The next day, Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage began to move away from the Spring Inn towards the Capital of Kaifeng. Huang Lung himself brought some friends to help Panji Tejo Laksono as a bodyguard. This is because their journey is very dangerous. A great many robberies could possibly occur along the way as some of their travel routes crossed several dangerous places such as the Death Mountain Range and the Thousand Ghost Valley. This was the main reason why Huang Lung brought some relief personnel to escort their horse carriage.

Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage moved North. Half a day's journey they reached the narrow valley located at the foot of the Five Lion Mountain. The deep ravines and high rock cliffs soaring into the sky became their sights along the way.

When entering the dense forest area with little sunlight can reach the ground, suddenly appeared dozens of masked men in black-black clothes that block their journey. Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage stopped suddenly. Gumbreg who was a little sleepy near Tumenggung Ludaka until it fell to the floor of the horse carriage because the coachman suddenly pulled the reins of his horse.

"Oh, biyung,

The coachman puffed up and pulled the horse's reins carelessly. You brash, look out for you", maki Gumbreg quickly got up from the fall and opened the horse carriage door. Tumenggung Ludaka immediately followed Gumbreg's steps, fearing that the fattened officer was flirting with the coachman of the horse-drawn carriage they were riding. But how shocked they were to find out that there were dozens of people dressed in black surrounding their place.

"Who are y'all? Why dare to block our journey?", asked friend Huang Lung who was in the front row.

"This is the area of the Five Lion Mountain Robbers. Anyone who passes is required to pay us taxes. If not....

LEAVE YOUR LIVES HERE!", said the big tall figure who seemed to be the leader of this robbing group.

"Basic bastards!

If you know who we are, I'm sure let's not talk about us, even breathing is difficult for you to do ", replied friend Huang Lung as she felt the handle of the weapon on her waist.

"I don't care who you are!

All I want is money and treasure. Since you guys like her are reluctant to give, then I Iron Buffalo will destroy all of you.

My men, my men,

Attack them!!"
