The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Dragon Lake Celebration (part 1)

"Just the wolf carcass is also the leader so as not to be a nest of disease, Uncle..

Just throw them into the abyss", Panji Tejo Laksono ordered immediately.

"Hamba understood Gusti Prince", Demung Gumbreg saluted the Banner of Tejo Laksono before starting to move to get rid of the wolf carcass and Lu Chien's corpse was aided by the Panjalu soldiers. Fortunately, Wang Chun Yang did not understand the Javanese language used by Gumbreg to call Panji Tejo Laksono. If you know what it means, something can happen.

The night passed quickly. The evening moon accompanied the ambassadors of Panjalu on the edge of the bamboo forest until the morning before arriving.

After preparing well, the group of Panji Tejo Laksono continued its journey towards Shou City which is south of Huai River which is also united with Yangtze River near East China Sea.

After passing through dozens of small lake lakes that existed in the region, they had almost reached Shou City. Kira approximately approximately 1000 fathoms from Shou City, Tejo Laksono Panji group arrived at a small village called Dragon Lake Village.

It is said that on the edge of this village there is a lake inhabited by a dragon that became the source of the prosperity of the village. Everyone adored the dragon so much that every early spring always held a ritual worship of the dragon.

Hundreds of red flags with a variety of beautiful calligraphic inscriptions adorn along the entrance of the village. Various red lanterns with gold dragon paintings appear to hang neatly in some corners of the house gate.

It seems like the preparation of the dragon worship ritual is almost nearing its time. This is seen from some home kitchens that begin to emit a variety of fragrant dishes.

Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage arrived at the only inn in this village because the day had begun in the afternoon. A servant with a friendly face immediately welcomed the arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades.

"Welcome to the Dragon Lake Inn, sir..

During this celebration, we gave half the price for our stay" the waiter said kindly.

"Indeed, during this celebration, there was just about any crowd in this place, Waiter?", asked Huang Lung as he looked around the front room of the inn full of red wall hangings.

"There will be a prayer ceremony tomorrow morning on the shores of Dragon Lake, Young Master. The afternoon will be held a dragon boat rowing race on the lake, while for the night, there will be entertainment performances from the charade of the Blue Lotus Art Group.

I heard from people, Governor Wu Ming of Shou City is coming to open this celebration tomorrow, Young Master", the servant salutes the typical Chinese Land to Huang Lung.

Hearing that answer, Huang Lung immediately turned to Panji Tejo Laksono and smiled broadly, "Broker Thee, we should rest here for two days until the celebration is over. I'm sure this place will be visited by many people".

"That's exactly the Young Master in white clothes,

There will be many people who come to Dragon Lake Village to see the crowd. You see for yourself, along the entrance of the village there are many merchant stalls arranged for tomorrow's event. You all have nothing to lose overnight at our place ", the steward chimed.

"Well, it's okay to also delay the trip of goods a day two days. It also relaxes tense body muscles.

I follow your advice Pendekar Huang", Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately. Hearing that answer, Huang Lung immediately smiled widely.

3 servants of the inn immediately drove the soldiers of Panjalu to occupy the rooms provided. Most of them had to share a place as there were only 25 bedrooms in existence. The rest is already occupied by the newcomers who first came. It's downstairs too. While on the top floor there are only 4 rooms left occupied by Panji Tejo Laksono, Luh Jingga, Huang Lung and Reverend Wang Chun Yang.

When dusk begins to fall, the atmosphere of Dragon Lake Village is more beautiful with the crowds of visitors who want to witness the crowds of Dragon Lake celebrations. Panji Tejo Laksono invites Luh Jingga to take a walk to enjoy the beauty of Dragon Lake Village.

A young girl seems to be upset at a handsome young man who keeps following her. The girl looks beautiful with bright yellow dress typical of China. He hit the body of Panji Tejo Laksono and fell on the street because he did not see the road.

"It hurts so much.", the young girl groaned as she stroked her buttocks stumbling against the street rock.

"Young Miss, are you okay?", Panji Tejo Laksono reached out his hand at the bright yellow-clothed young girl. But not yet the girl responded, a palm brushed off the right hand of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Plllaaakkkkk !!

"Keep your dirty hands away from Rong Er's sister..."

A burly young man with a thin mustache and a stiff face glared sharply towards Panji Tejo Laksono. From the look of his eyes he looks very hateful with the Prince of Panjalu.

"Where is this shit? Why do you dare to push down Rong Er? Don't you know who Rong Er is?

Listen yes, Wu Xiao Rong's younger brother is Governor Wu Ming's nephew. It could have been chopped off by the soldiers of Shou County.

Quickly apologized to Rong Er's sister!", the burly young man's stout stature immediately.

When the young girl looked up at Panji Tejo Laksono, the girl's eyes immediately twinkled with fascination with the good looks of the young prince from Kadiri.

"Sister Feng, stop..

This young master is not wrong. I had no eyes until I bumped into this young master. He was innocent", Rong Er or Wu Xiao Rong stood up from the fall in the aid of the burly man called Big Brother Feng.

"Why are you defending her, brother Rong? Obviously, he dropped you. You don't defend him, he'll get more insolent.

I am Feng Hao, the son of the Dragon Lake Village Chief is a person who likes to uphold justice" said the burly man whose full name is Feng Hao.

"Sister Feng, don't go too far!

You know I'd hate to see the rich bully others by relying on their surnames and their standing. You're really sickening.

Young Master, excuse me ", after paying respects to Panji Tejo Laksono, the young girl immediately rushed away from the place.

Bastard bastard, our business is not finished here. You survived because of the help of Rong Er's sister", after threatening Panji Tejo Laksono, Feng Hao immediately rushed after Wu Xiao Rong who had already looked quite far away.

The banner of Tejo Laksono only shook his head to see the behavior of the two people.

Luh Jingga immediately approached the Panji Tejo Laksono, "They are why Gusti Prince? Looks like they're angry at Gusti Prince".

"Hehehe...

Just leave them. Enjoy the atmosphere around the lake. Uh is there a sweet seller? Do you want Luh?", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled wryly.

"In the Land of Panjalu there is no such food, Gusti Prince..

I wanna. Buy two yes", Luh Orange jubilant like a little girl got her toy wood golek. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately bought two skewers of fruit sweets for Luh Jingga. He himself also bought some special snacks of Chinese soil that many in the yard on the side of the road.

The afternoon atmosphere on the shores of Dragon Lake felt so beautiful. The more the night the atmosphere feels more lively. Some children were seen running around playing fireworks. By that time, the Song Dynasty had discovered the use of gunpowder to make fireworks and firecrackers.

In one corner of Dragon Lake Village, precisely on the North side.

A house looks festive decorated with red lanterns but the door of the house with a wall fenced as high as 1 spear seemed to be tightly closed, as if there was no activity at all. But actually inside the house, twenty people were gathered together in the living room.

A burly man with sharp eyes like the eyes of an eagle was standing giving direction.

"I hope the plan we run tomorrow goes well. Governor Shou must die at our hands" said the burly man, clenching his hands.

"Sister Ye, brother Ye,

Not only your family is the victim of old man Wu Ming's cunning. We are all equally happy with you. I Ah Dai have sworn to chop up the body of the evil ruler with my own hands" said a sultry young man holding a large machete quickly.

"True Ah Dai, Brother Ye..

Wu Ming must die tomorrow. Otherwise, the grudge of my elder brother's death would only make it difficult for him to be reborn. I Sam Chi will help Kak Ye despite his life bet", chimpanzees a man of short stature with a rare mustache while staring at the burly man called Kak Ye's name.

"That's great, my brother..

Today Ye Bei though having to die also cannot return your goodwill. This wine is a sign of our brotherhood", Ye Bei immediately raised a cup of wine in front of the people who were with him. The twenty people immediately followed Ye Bei's footsteps and raised their wine cups.

"Brother forever!!"

They immediately swigged the contents of their cup once a sip. That night the assassination plot against Governor Wu Ming at the opening of the Dragon Lake celebration was neatly arranged. Everything is arranged in such a way as not to make mistakes.

The night was slow. It was because of the lively night entertainment held by the residents of Dragon Lake Village. Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga were seen sitting together from the second-floor window of the inn.

"Gusti Prince, Prince,

Does Gusti Prince not miss Panjalu Country? The atmosphere here feels so foreign to the servant", said Luh Jingga while leaning her head on the left shoulder of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I actually miss my homeland, Luh.. As soon as we finish our duties, I promise to take you home safely to Kadiri.

You have to be patient for a while ", Panji Tejo Laksono keeps looking at some middle-aged women who are carrying their children. His longing for Goddess Anggarawati suddenly burst into his chest.

Huang Lung who had just climbed upstairs, immediately stopped her footsteps as soon as she saw the affection of Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga. There is a very sudden heat suddenly spread in the chest. He was jealous to see them both. Whether starting when, the daughter of the Wanyan Chieftain liked Panji Tejo Laksono but the longer the feeling grew and grew filled his heart. Every chance, he always stole a glance towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

After inhaling a deep breath to recover his mood, Huang Lung directly approached the two of them.

"Good night Swordsman Thee..

Am I bothering you two??".

Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga immediately turned to look at Huang Lung who looked handsome with his clothes which were male clothes.

"Oh good night Swordsman Huang..

No no, you're not bothering us kog. We're looking at the art show below. If you are willing, this wooden chair still has a place for you" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile. Hearing those words, a sweet smile was engraved on Huang Lung's face. Immediately he stepped towards the side of Panji Tejo Laksono and sat right to the right of this young prince from Kadiri.

Luh Orange seems to dislike the attitude and presence of Huang Lung.

'Basic bully. Why the hell did he come here?', Inner Luh Jingga while glancing sharply at Huang Lung. The daughter of the Chief of the Wanyan Tribe was also able to see the strange gelagat even though only a glance.

"Broker Thee, there's something I want to ask you. I was just curious", asked Huang Lung aka Princess Wanyan Lan while smiling knots.

"Ask the Swordsman Huang.. I will answer if I can", Panji Tejo Laksono just casually responded to Huang Lung's remark. Seeing that, Huang Lung smiled again and asked,

"Is this Swordsman Thee and Miss Lu dating?"
