The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Heart of Three Beautiful Women

Panji Tejo Laksono's entourage left Yingtian City with the strict control of the soldiers of the Qing Governor. On the basis of fears for the safety of Princess Emperor Huizong, hundreds of Yingtian Region warriors were bandaged to become the bodyguards of Princess Song Zhao Meng to keep them safe until they reached the capital. Even one of the best leaders of Yingtian City, General Liu King was tasked directly with escorting Princess Song Zhao Meng to reach Kaifeng City safely.

The passing of Reverend Wang Chun Yang chasing after the Poison King Lu Shun Fung had a bit of an effect on the state of Princess Meng Er's personal guard. Honestly speaking, Uncle Chen who had recovered from his injuries, was afraid of the possibility that they would be intercepted by the criminal entourage because they would pass through a region that was very much feared in the Song Empire, Ghost Valley.

That said, in the Valley of Death there is a mysterious heretic sect that often does his best. In addition to the dangerous state of the land due to the enormous amount of living mud and ferocious beasts, there were also stories about his many ghosts and demons haunting in that place. Its always foggy state is also difficult for people who pass until most people choose to avoid the Valley of Ghosts by turning the road.

Princess Song Zhao Meng had already been reminded not to cross the path in the valley but the princess was very stubborn and forced to enter the Ghost Valley because she wanted to quickly get to the capital Kaifeng.

In order to travel faster, all men are asked to ride. There were only two horse-drawn carriages in the group. Song Zhao Meng's daughter was accompanied by Luh Jingga, Huang Lung and Princess Meng's loyal servant, Qiao Er in the front carriage. While in the back train there are only the coachman and Demung Gumbreg and their luggage from the Kingdom of Panjalu.

The group continued to move rapidly towards the North.

"Huuuhhhh... This trip will be boring. Since we are traveling companions, then we better have a chat.

I want to know something about Swordsman Thee, but this waitress doesn't speak our language. Therefore you who have been with Swordsman Thee for quite a long time certainly know a lot about Swordsman Thee, Huang Lung", Princess Song Zhao Meng opened a conversation between the women in the horse carriage.

"I know very little of Swordsman Thee, Princess..

Please just ask the Princess, maybe I can answer her", replied Huang Lung politely.

"Be careful if there's anything you cover up..

Now tell me how you met Thee Swordsman, Huang Lung. Don't you hide anything from me", Princess Song Zhao Meng stared intently at Huang Lung.

Slowly, Huang Lung started talking about their meeting in Lin'an City until their meeting in Shou City. There are some things that are hidden in Princess Song Zhao Meng, but only about her.

"This is the story of the Princess", said Huang Lung aka Princess Wanyan Lan with a faint smile.

"Are you sure you told me everything, Huang Lung? Or would you rather if I called you Princess Wanyan Lan?", Princess Song Zhao Meng smiled meaningfully.

How surprised Huang Lung to hear his real name mentioned by Princess Song Zhao Meng. With a slight nervousness, he immediately spoke, "D-where does the Princess know that I am Wanyan Lan?".

"Everyone's eyes can be fooled by your male outfit, Princess Lan but not by me. Ever since I first met you I already knew that you were a woman" Princess Song Zhao Meng said with a triumphant smile.

"I-I didn't mean to deceive you, Princess..

This is all to safeguard my personal safety from those who want to do evil to me", the brick-styled voice of Huang Lung spoke.

"Here you go, I don't mind your disguise, Huang Lung. Only I don't like it if you disguise yourself as a man approaching Swordsman Thee. He was a good man, not just an ordinary prince who was told to take a message to a distant land.

So I ask that you do not try to think that you can approach Pendekar Thee", Princess Song Zhao Meng stared intently at Huang Lung as if staring at a woman trying to snatch her husband.

"I understand the Princess", Huang Lung nodded quickly.

"It's a pity that this servant cannot speak our language at all", Princess Song Zhao Meng turned her head towards Luh Jingga who was just silent as she continued to stare out the window of the horse carriage, "If she can speak in our language, then, she can speak, of course we'll know a lot about Pendekar Thee".

The horse-drawn carriage continued to move following the footsteps of Panji Tejo Laksono, Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi and Rakryan Purusoma who rode in front.

By midday, the party stopped their movement at the foot of a hill. Their horses they need to rest for a while to fill the stomach, so do the riders.

Luh Jingga deftly immediately prepared food for Panji Tejo Laksono following drinking water for the young prince from Kadiri. The two of them sat under a shady tree at the foot of the rock hill, slightly leaving from the entourage.

"You should eat too, Luh..

Do not let you get sick because you are late to eat because you are too busy taking care of me" Panji Tejo Laksono said while shoving a piece of dried meat into Luh Jingga's mouth.

"But Gusti Prince, servant..."

"Nothing but a tapi. Quickly open your mouth, don't argue too much", Panji Tejo Laksono stared seriously at the beautiful face of the daughter of Resi Damarmoyo immediately.

Embarrassed, Luh Jingga opened his mouth and Panji Tejo Laksono fed the dried meat to the mouth of the beautiful girl with a faint smile. Feed after food feed continues to be given by Panji Tejo Laksono to Luh Jingga. Although the daughter of Resi Damarmoyo was a little uncomfortable with the young prince from Kadiri's treatment of him, but the beautiful girl was also powerless to resist the wishes of the master.

The scene full of affection they were both seen by Huang Lung and Princess Song Zhao Meng. Huang Lung who already knew about the unusual relationship between Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga only let out a cold snort while turning her face the other way. But not with Princess Song Zhao Meng.

With a sour face, Emperor Huizong's daughter immediately grabbed a bowl of hot meat soup and quickly walked up to the Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga.

Ahemmm ahemmm !!

The banner of Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga immediately stopped their event and turned towards Princess Song Zhao Meng whose smiling face was forced while holding a bowl of meat soup prepared by Qiao Er for her. The banner of Tejo Laksono stood up immediately.

"Mr Princess, please,

What made you come here? Are we done resting?".

Hearing the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, Princess Song Zhao Meng directly thrust the bowl of meat soup at the Panji Tejo Laksono while smiling in a knot, "I'm hungry. Help you bribe me like you're feeding this servant of yours".

Shocked Panji Tejo Laksono heard Princess Song Zhao Meng's words.

"What does it mean Princess? Isn't Qiao Er unemployed too? Why don't you just ask her to feed you?", Panji Tejo Laksono really didn't get out of thought with Princess Song Zhao Meng's attitude.

"Of course not...

Princess please sit down first", hearing Panji Tejo Laksono's reply, Princess Song Zhao Meng immediately smiled widely. Emperor Huizong's 12th daughter immediately sat on the mat that served as the seat of Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga.

With a frown holding back the feeling of resentment, Luh Jingga immediately stood up from her seat after collecting the former place of the Banji Tejo Laksono. Grunting in annoyance, he glanced at Princess Song Zhao Meng, "I'll taste the former food container first Gusti Prince. Please pamit".

After saying so, Luh Jingga vehemently left the place of Panji Tejo Laksono and Princess Song Zhao Meng.

'Definitely Luh Jingga is angry with me', Inner Panji Tejo Laksono as he looks towards the departure of daughter Resi Damarmoyo.

Ehemmm..

"Thee Swordsman, thee,

As long as I wait for you to feed me?", Princess Song Zhao Meng's words immediately resuscitated Panji Tejo Laksono. The eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana from Kadiri immediately sat down before Princess Song Zhao Meng and began to feed the meat soup into the mouth of the emperor's daughter.

Qiao Er seemed to smile in a knot seeing Panji Tejo Laksono and Princess Song Zhao Meng being friendly like lovers like this. But on the other hand, two pairs of beautiful female eyes look to withstand the jealousy of seeing the actions of Princess Song Zhao Meng.

On the other hand, Demung Gumbreg who was eating the dishes served to him, continued to bite the dried meat and dry bread on his plate along with Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Rajegwesi. Rakryan Purusoma was seen talking to General Liu King who was the leader of the guards of Governor Qing.

"Well, our master is great, Lu...

Not in his own country not in the country of smart people really hook women. It is true that Gusti Prabu Jayengrana's son" Gumbreg said, feeding a piece of dried meat to his mouth.

"If this part of me agrees with you, Mbreg, it's very appropriate.

But you also have to remember one thing. Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono wants to be close to Emperor Song's Princess because he needs his help to talk directly with Emperor Song so that we can immediately go home to Jawadwipa Land.

So you must be able to distinguish which ones are not "snoses, said Tumenggung Ludaka while drinking water in a prepared container.

"But that's a very thin difference Lu..

Now try to count which women have been approached by Gusti Prince? I counted yes. There was Putri Tumenggung Sindupraja, the Gayatri. There was also the daughter of Duke Aghnibrata of Kalinga, Princess Ayu Ratna. Not to mention Luh Jingga.

Well that yesterday too, the Princess of King Champa was also. Now even Emperor Song's daughter wants to be embathed as well. If not a striped nose, then what is the name?", Gumbreg did not want to lose.

"Your mouth is hard to set..

If it sounds Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono, you are ready to stay in China ha?", hearing the loud noise, Gumbreg immediately smothered his mouth with a piece of dry bread. After painstakingly swallowing the dry bread, Gumbreg immediately turned to Tumenggung Ludaka.

"Yes, don't let him sound Lu..

It would be a long matter if he found out. I beg you not to report to Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono huh?", hiba Gumbreg immediately.

"Huh...

Your style remains. After calling Gusti Prince, always ask for protection. I may not say anything, what about Rajegwesi?", Tumenggung Ludaka turned to Tumenggung Rajegwesi who was still smiling without speaking. Gumbreg immediately turned his attention to Tumenggung Rajegwesi.

"Si, don't you open your mouth to Gusti Prince about me saying it just now huh? I beg".

"Can be arranged, but not free", Tumenggung Rajegwesi smiled knot.

"Yah kog so Si, wear there are conditions...

So what's the condition? Quickly say", Demung Gumbreg can't wait for the conditions requested by Rajegwesi.

"Later tonight, you massage my back and Kakang Ludaka. At the guarantee my mouth will be locked tightly" said Tumenggung Rajegwesi who immediately got a nod of the head from Tumenggung Ludaka.

"Well, instead of being punished with Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono..

Just pass me wes" said Gumbreg with a clear.

After a long period of rest, the group continued their journey. However there was a different atmosphere inside the horse carriage that transported the women. Luh Jingga, Huang Lung and Princess Song Zhao Meng chose not to say anything along the way. I don't know what happened to these three beautiful women's hearts back then. The confused Qiao Er did not dare to ask Emperor Song's daughter anything and chose to be silent..

General Liu King who led the escorting party directly pulled the reins of his horse when he saw something suspicious on the edge of the rock cliffs they passed as they were about to enter the Ghost Valley area.

The special forces led by him immediately prepared. Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately ran his horse closer to the general.

"Mr General, sir,

What the hell's going on? Why should we stop suddenly like this?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately. General Liu King did not immediately answer this question but his right hand pointed towards a large tree growing on the back of a rock cliff. The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately followed the direction of view appointed by General Liu King. Faintly, a pair of eyes were staring at the group from behind the lush trees. Slowly, General Liu King immediately spoke.

"We'd better get ready to fight soon, Swordsman Thee. The Ghost Valley Sect's men were already preparing to attack.

They're Gui Wu's men, the Ghost of a Thousand Faces".
