*Holy Blood Ring*
Until that afternoon, Princess Yuo Kai was still with Joko Calm.. They spent the afternoon monitoring the major operations carried out by the Red Dragon Army directly by General Mok Jueng, Head of the Red Dragon Army.
The massive operation was carried out based on the latest developments from the work of the White Eye Bureau intelligence agency, the recognition of prisoners, information from the Land Serpent Network led by Blind Snakes, and special intelligence belonging to Princess Yuo Kai.
After a brief duel on Liong Sue Road between Joko Calm and the Thousand Dragons Swordsman, Calm Joko and Princess Yuo Kai briefly returned to the Palace. Later, a number of reports came in that prompted a brief meeting between Princess Yuo Kai, Prime Minister La Gonho, and General Mok Jueng. Joko Calm down, Su Mei and Bo Fei were just waiting outside.
Princess Yuo Kai that afternoon did not want to part with Joko Calm, so Joko was asked to wait for him. Joko according. Joko was forced to postpone his departure to the east. The plan is to leave tomorrow morning.
Princess Yuo Kai wants to enjoy her continued togetherness with Joko Calm. As time goes on, his love for Joko deepens.
The latest information obtained is the recognition of Hongli Ho, a paid swordsman who must be the victim of the Cat Tread of Calm Joko during the fight in the south trench yesterday.
Hongli Ho was one of the two Eastern Forest Group mercenaries who was not killed at Joko Quiet's request, so he and Chen Ho became prisoners in conditions of too severe injuries.
Hongli Ho confesses that a man named Nobles Sushan paid him and his friends.
That confession made Commander Bu Ruong surprised, because he had seen a person named Noble Sushan in the Iron Dragon Bureau belonging to Tu Xie Yua, Princess Yuo Kai's best friend.
Another clue, revealed the identity of Ling Mo, a citizen of the Capital City who ordered snake tattoos for a hundred people. From the archives at the Ministry of Population, revealed the face of a person named Ling Mo.
All citizens of Jang State, both in the Capital and other cities, have an identity archive at the Ministry of Population, including sketches of their faces. Face sketches will be updated every five years.
So made as many sketches of the face of the Noble Sushan based on the testimony of Commander Bu Ruong and sketches of Ling Mo's face following the sketches that have been in the archives of the population. The sketches were then pasted on every corner of the Capital City.
The Iron Dragon Bureau, which had only been operating for two days, was raided by a sizable number of troops. Unmitigated, the search in the Iron Dragon Bureau was led directly by General Mok Jueng. This was done in consideration because the security services delivery business belongs to Xie Yua, the daughter of the Minister of Justice.
However, they did not find the whereabouts of Xie Yua to be questioned regarding the person named Noble Sushan. At that time, Xie Yua was on his way home from the residence of the martial figure General End of Heaven.
After checking the guest list records at the opening and inauguration of the Iron Dragon Bureau, listed the name of the Sushan Nobles. Finally, the Iron Dragon Bureau was sealed on the orders of General Mok Jueng. The Minister of Justice who heard the sealing, was only shocked without being able to do anything.
After that sealing, a messenger was immediately sent to catch up with Xie Yua. The envoy managed to meet Xie Yua's horse carriage troupe in the middle of the journey.
“Report, Miss! Iron Dragon Bureau sealed by General Mok Jueng!” envoy report.
“What?!” shock Xie Yua inside his carriage room. Then the question is angry, “How can it be?!”
“Security forces are looking for the Noble Sushan and a person named Ling Mo,” replied the envoy.
“Bigger! How could the name of the Noble Sushan leak into the Palace? Who was Ushang La's man who leaked the name of the Noble Sushan?” said Xie Yua who could not be answered by anyone.
He paused for a moment, thinking.
“Cancel back to Capital City, we go to Munyang city!” xie Yua's orders were finally.
Munyang City is a neighboring city to the south of the Capital City.
In addition, the Land Snake Network informed that there was suspicious activity in the southern corner of the Capital City, namely the purchase of large quantities of food by two residents. The movements of the two residents look so alert with frequent looking to the right-left and around. Their steps were also hurried and tense.
The members of the Earth Snake Network that were widely scattered everywhere finally learned that in a house in the southern corner of the Capital City, there were dozens of people hiding inside.
From the Land Snake Network, it is also known who the supplier of oil drums used when ambushing Princess Yuo Kai's entourage on Liong Sue Street two days ago.
Information from the Land Serpent Network was conveyed by Princess Yuo Kai to General Mok Jueng who then followed up with a massive raid on the house in the south corner and an oil business north of the Capital City.
A total of sixty men hiding in a house that looked lonely from outside, panicked when they heard the crowd outside. When one of them peeked outside, it turned out that the Capital's security forces had surrounded the house. The arrow troops are already at their aiming position.
“Reden or we attack!” shouted the new Southern Red Dragon Commander, the replacement for Commander Ram Pok.
There was no sign of movement from inside the house that was tightly shut the door and all the windows. The dozens of people who were hiding because they were waiting for the order from the Eastern Forest Group Leader, looked frightened and confused. They asked their group leader who was also confused, but had to make a decision. Each of them had already held a sword, if indeed had to fight to the death.
“If we are arrested, we will be imprisoned, tortured and beheaded,” said the group leader argued. Then he shouted, “We better die in the fight!”
A sudden burst of screaming emerged from inside the house, surprising the southern commander.
Brak! Bruaks! Brak's...!
Right then, the doors and windows were smashed from inside.
“Hiaaat..!”
The armed men went out with their loud cries.
“Arrow!” shouted the Southern Red Dragon Commander.
The rain of arrows came from all sides. The men of the rebel group collided before reaching the position of the sword troops who were still quietly marching. Before long, the bodies were lying with bodies full of arrows.
Within a short period of time, the sixty rebels were killed without remaining.
Large raids were also carried out in the north led by the new Northern Red Dragon Commander, the successor of the recently-dead Commander Hei Xiong. They raided oil businesses that had smuggled oil to the Eastern Forest Group.
Not only raids, checks and searches of people are carried out everywhere, especially into lodgings and suspected business places can be used as hiding places.
Including the residence of the Minister of Justice examined, but politely. Despite the anger over General Mok Jueng's actions, Minister Tu Hua could only comply.
Ling Mo, was finally found hiding in the slums that existed in the Capital City. He did not dwell much when ambushed by security forces. He would rather live than commit suicide by fighting a large number of soldiers.
The togetherness of Joko Calm and Princess Yuo Kai who was accompanied by translator Su Mai on the roof of a tall building, was plagued by the greatness of a white figure. The figure who was a beautiful woman dressed in all white landed on the edge of the roof tile roof of the building without damaging it. The woman's face was similar to Su Mai's, only she had a small mole on her chin. The woman was none other than Su Rai aka White Snake, Su Mai's older brother and the number two person in the Earth Snake Network.
“Sincerely servant, Your Highness the Princess,” said Su Rai while respecting her in moderation in that unusual location.
“It seems so important that you searched and followed me here?” ask Princess Yuo Kai.
“There is important news related to the future wife of Pendekar Joko,” replied Su Rai.
Hearing his name called, Joko Calm immediately focused on Su Rai. Su Mai immediately translated her brother's words to Joko.
Hearing Su Mai's translation, Joko looks sumringah.
“Say, what's the news, Miss!” said Joko Calm precedes Princess Yuo Kai.
Su Mai translated for her brother.
“Say!” princess Yuo Kai's orders followed.
“Prominee wife Pendekar Joko and her friend are heading here. Lastly they asked the Earth Snake Network in the State capital of Lor We this morning,” Su Rai reported.
Su Mai translate.
“Really?” joko asked with a big smile.
Su Rai just nodded to Joko.
“That means it takes a week with a horse trip,” said Princess Yuo Kai.
Su Mai translate.
“That's a long time ago,” comments Joko.
“What other news did you bring?” princess Yuo Kai asked Su Rai.
“The Old Young Prince has been crowned as Emperor Lor We succeeding his father. However, that same day he was killed by two foreign women. It is unclear who the two women are. And the news from the eastern border Lor We said, The Crown Prince of the Country Ci Cin leads a large army to the border of Lor We,” Su Rai said.
“What?!” surprise Princess Yuo Kai. At that moment he could immediately guess who was the mastermind of all the attacks against him and the Capital City. (BH)
