A WASTED KNIGHT
The meeting in the Black House
While Ma Yingtao and Chen Nie had already returned prepared
depart for Gansu and search for the whereabouts of Wiraksara who disappeared. However
their departure had to be postponed. That morning the commander of the border guard
Yinchuan reported something.
“Soldiers in the lookout tower reported the presence of the entourage
the cavalry are heading this way. They brought a lot of troops
hither. I think the whole thing killed him
Turgen had triggered the war, the robber was indeed deliberately placed by the side
Mongols to destabilize security in the silk routes that connect China with the countries
around it.”
“So we can't leave here?” Ask Chen Nie.
“Sorry, you can't leave this city yet
because this place will be attacked. Even if you go to Gansu, you
must rotate past a further path.”
Ma Yingtao sighed in annoyance at her work
hampered
“The time is getting tight, another 2 months of summer arrive.
There is no other way, Sala must be found immediately, we leave now and go through the path
south,” said Ma Yingtao.

That night in the city of Gansu, in the Black House a mysterious figure
Mr. Han is holding a meeting with his followers. Mr. Han
wearing a black silk robe and wearing a disguise on his face was talking to the people
his follower.
“After the royal stamp we can steal, we will
coup against the Yongle emperor. The problem is at the border
there are still many loyal emperor people and this makes it difficult for us inside
a coup.”
Fu Shen the Host stood before Master Han
“The half of the Eunuchs in the Jinyiwei army and the eunuchs
being a royal official has taken sides
to you, I think that's enough. A unit of guards
the border we have also mastered, what else are we waiting for? We've had enough
long time ago during the coup.”
“It's not that easy Mr. Fu, not all Eunuchs can be us
broadly speaking, the Chinese naval fleet under Admiral Cheng Ho is still difficult for us
ahold. They are very loyal to the emperor, you do not underestimate the power
Cheng Ho's. He had many supporters from his tribe's Hui tribe
he could even ask for help from a friendly country because of the relationship
good with countries outside China. I guess I still need
support again especially in terms of weaponry and soldiers, said Mr. Han.
Shortly after, from the end of the room, we saw the entrance
the meeting room was wide open, an old man dressed all in white walked into the
inward. The eyes of the people in
in the room immediately turned to the old man. Sounded the voice of the Lord
Han welcomed the arrival of the Persians
“Mehrak, where is the jewel of Kahyangan Temple that you promised?”
“Although Mr. Han, the jewel of Fire Kahyangan Temple has disappeared
taken people. Give me time to look for it back.”
Suddenly the people in the room immediately heard
news of the disappearance of the jewel of the Fire Kahyangan Temple.
Tun Han looked surprised, his face changed
“You don't lie to Mehrak, didn't I promise I would
give a portion of my territory to you if this coup succeeds.”
“I know Mr. Han, but what I said was true.
The Javanese youth has taken the jewel,” Mehrak said furiously.
“How can it be lost? Then look for it until
meet, right now I really need the power of the 4 elements,”
Mehrak's face was red with embarrassment at being angered in front
many people.
“Alright, tonight too I will go find that person
and snatch the gem from him!”
General Wu Xie hurriedly mediated
“Mr Han, Mr. Mehrak has just arrived, not as appropriate
he's getting out of here. He must also know our plans to
ahead of him. Let Mr. Mehrak take this meeting first after the meeting
he could go look for the jewel thief of Kahyangan Fire and snatch the jewel
from him!”
Mehrak breathed a sigh of relief, he then said again
“Master Han, actually the number of gems is 4. They
representing the 4 elements on earth, namely Fire Gems, Land, Metal and Water. Unfortunately
the other three gems had been lost by the time the great flood struck all over
earthly. The remaining Gems are the Fire Gems only while the Land Symbol Gems,
The metal and water have disappeared. “
“Then you also have to search for the 4 gems in order to
their strength can merge into one!”
Lord Han turned to General Wu
“General, send your people to seek existence
the other three gems.”
General Wu Xie and Mehrak were stunned, Lord Han requested
considered too excessive
“But where will we look? The great flood was already
thousands of years ago, and we don't know where the three jewels are
that's. It is said that the Water element gem has fallen on a vast ocean
. The ocean is impossible to dive because it is too deep. Sir, one jewel
The fire is enough to give you strength. Anyone who has
the gem will be able to control fire elements easily,” Mehrak said.
“True sir, at the moment we should focus on our goals which
in fact, it's better that all the effort we put in for the emperor's coup
rather than looking for a gem that we do not know of its existence,” said the General
Wu.
Some of the people present at the place were apparently more
leaning towards General Wu's proposal. That night a coup plot had been
drafted. Mr. Han went back into his room and finished the meeting that night.

Wiraksara and Maheen's journey has brought them
in Lanzhou, a city on the silk line.
Until night time Lanzhou city visited by traders from abroad who
stop by to trade or rest before proceeding in the direction
eastern.
“Maheen, we stop by the diner after that we search
lodging,” Wiraksara said.
“Wiraksara, I'm afraid Mehrak's men are still following us,
there are a lot of Persians in this city. I'm afraid one of them is a child
the Mehrak fruit that was sent spying on us. We better not get out much,
we are looking for a hostel that also provides food. I know the place, we
can stop by the inn,” Maheen's advice.
“I think you were right, what was the name of the inn?”
“Mountain Spruce Inn, located at the end of this road.
I know the owner well.”
Wiraksara and Maheen return to continue their journey
Cemara Mountain Inn .But without them knowing a few pairs of eyes
following their departure to Cemara Gunung Inn.
“Follow wherever they go, don't miss.”
Seven Persians flared up following Wiraksara and Maheen
