Sanggana Swordsman
96. White Snake
*Holy Blood Ring*
After getting information from the White Eyes Bureau, Middle Red Dragon Commander Bu Ruong brought two dozen troops to raid the Nirwana Lotus brothel that morning.
Surprised the servants who were at work cleaning the entire inner side of the luxurious brothel out of a layer of dust.
“Leader Network Snake Ground, out!” commander Bu Ruong shouted after he was in the main room of the Nirwana Lotus.
The commander's screams and the movements of dozens of soldiers spread out in fenced formations behind his leader, shocking the maids who were armed with mop-cloths, wooden buckets filled with cleaning water, and washcloths, only a silent surprise looked at the soldiers.
There was no response or response from the cleaning workers, Commander Bu Ruong shouted again, this time using threatening sentences.
“Leader of the Earth Snake Network, get out! Or we rummage through the whole room in this building!”
Suddenly from one side in appeared running a figure of a woman dressed in bright red with a simple makeup, but still memorable expensive.
“Aaah! What is this, gentlemen warriors?” ask the woman with a forced smile. She was none other than Linsi Mee, a 50-year-old woman who owned the brothel.
“Where is the leader of the Earth Snake Network?” ask Bu Ruong.
“Douh, where do I know. Didn't you guys check the whole room at this place last night?” linsi Mee said.
“You know? The condition of the Capital City is in trouble. If you obstruct the work of the security forces, then we will take you to prison!” bu Ruong toilet.
“Ah, no, Mr Warrior!” squealing Linsi Mee with a flinched face turned to Bu Ruong.
“I'm the leader of the Earth Snake Network!” one voice suddenly a woman.
Commander Bu Ruong, Linsi Mee and the soldiers immediately looked up at the main staircase. There was a beautiful young woman dressed in all white covered in white robes as well. It came down gracefully. The woman with a small fly on her left chin had long, unraveled hair that was partially braided into small pieces. The girl was none other than Su Rai aka White Snake, the second number person of the Earth Snake Network.
Behind him were two large men dressed in chocolates. The two of them stepped gallantly following Su Rai. On the back of their hands grasping the sword warangka were black tattoos of snake heads with their forked tongues. The two men were members of the Earth Snake Network.
Commander Bu Ruong was agape to see Su Rai descending like a goddess from nirvana. So pretty.
“I Su Rai, the leader of the Earth Snake Network,” said Su Rai again after his foot stepped on the floor of the board of the lower room.
Commander Bu Ruong immediately raised his hand and moved it signaling an order to his soldiers.
The soldiers behind Bu Ruong instantly moved in unison to form a fence that surrounded the position of Su Rai and his two guards.
“We have evidence that the Earth Snake Network was involved in the attack on Princess Yuo Kai's entourage. Please Miss Su come with us!” said Bu Ruong.
“Please take me,” said Su Rai as she extended her clean white hands, ready to be handcuffed. Seen on the back of his right hand was a snake head tattoo with a forked tongue.
“Shackle his hands!” ma Ruong's orders.
A soldier carrying iron shackles, immediately advanced before Su Rai and attached handcuffs to both of Su Rai's wrists.
“White Snake!” call the two men members of the Earth Snake Network behind Su Rai.
“No need to fret, they won't hurt me,” said Su Rai then stepped away with both hands shackled in iron handcuffs.
“Master Bu Ruong, you guys caught people wrong. Miss Su is innocent in the slightest. If until Miss Su is injured by you, I will sue the court!” linsi Mee.
However, Commander Bu Ruong did not heed Linsi Mee's words. He led Su Rai out of the brothel.
A beautiful young woman was taken as a prisoner by the security forces of the Capital City, certainly to the attention of the public that morning. People were whispering on the side of the road, wondering who the girl was.
Su Rai as the number two person in the Earth Snake Network who worked underground, was certainly not a famous person among ordinary people. They are only known by certain people. His condition at that time did not make him panic, seen from his calm steps according to the soldiers' escorts.
While Commander Bu Ruong was sitting gallantly on the back of his horse. He felt good about successfully capturing the leader of the Earth Snake Network without difficulty.
Among the crowd who witnessed the group, it turned out that there was someone who recognized Su Rai. That person was a moustached man dressed in dark green. His appearance was not much different from ordinary citizens in general. The person named Ling Mo immediately turned around after confirming who the person walking in condition of both hands was handcuffed.
Ling Mo who was about 45 years old was walking hastily. What he had just seen seemed to be important news. He left Liong Sue's main road and walked down the quieter streets. The road is quite far and turns. Until finally, he arrived in front of a small wooden door located in a quiet narrow alley.
Sir sir sir sir!
Ling Mo patted the door board. Hard enough. Sometimes he looked right and left, worried that someone was watching him or watching him.
“Ling Mo,” replied Ling Mo.
A small hole in the door leaf was seen opening, showing a pair of eyes that looked at Ling Mo's face for a moment. It turned out that Ling Mo's reply earlier had not been able to make the man behind the door instantly believe in full. After confirming Ling Mo's face and that he had come alone, the peeping hole was again closed. The door opened from inside.
Ling Mo immediately entered. It turned out that behind the door and the stone wall there was a courtyard that was quite spacious. The existence of a pile of firewood and a stove for cooking explained that it was the backyard of the house.
Ling Mo ignored the existence of the man who opened the door. He rushed into the house and stopped in a room. Ling Mo was respectful.
In the room stood a middle-aged man of somewhat stocky stature due to fat. He was wearing black clothes. It keeps a thin mustache and a rather thick beard. His head was tied with a black cloth that had a white inscription that read “Hutan Timur”. His name was Ushang La.
In the room, Ushang La was standing with a handsome young man dressed in fine yellow. The thin-moustached young man was none other than the Noble Sushan, one of the guests present at the opening party of Xie Yua's Iron Dragon Bureau. Both are facing the wall which is plastered with a wide and thick paper containing a drawing of the floor plan. There is no explanation as to what that is.
“What news do you bring, Ling Mo?” asked Ushang La, turning to Ling Mo.
“Su Rai, the leader of the Earth Snake Network has just been captured by the security of the Capital and taken away,” reports Ling Mo.
“Are there any one-eyed bald men arrested?” ask Ushang La.
“Nothing, only Su Rai himself was arrested,” replied Ling Mo.
“The arrest of the leader of the Earth Snake Network shows the second purpose of our attack yesterday afternoon fruitful, despite having to lose many people. However, I have not felt successful if the Blind Snake, the supreme leader of the group has not been captured or died. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, sooner or later, after this the Kingdom will hunt the Blind Snake. We will force Su Rai to show the existence of the Blind Snake,” Ushang La said.
“What will you do next, Chairman?” ask the Nobles of Sushan.
“Today we will also catch large fish as bait so that large octopuses will come out,” said Ushang La who is the Chairman of the Eastern Forest Group, which is also known as, the party whom the Sushan Nobles invited worked together on his secret mission.
Meanwhile, Su Rai was taken directly to the storage room of the corpses of the people who attacked Princess Tsun Yuo Kai's entourage. So important was the recognition of the leader of the Earth Snake Network, General Mok Jueng had to come to the morgue.
“Areally those Earth Snake Networks?” general Mok Jueng asked Su Rai after Commander Bu Ruong revealed a number of corpses that had black snake tattoos whose heads stood on top of his body circle. The tattoos are generally located on one side of the body which is usually covered by clothing.
“Not!” replied Su Rai steadily. “Who told the Master that the snake tattoo belongs to my group?”
“The only attacker we captured alive,” replied General Mok Jueng.
“See the tattoo on my hand,” said Su Rai, while raising his handcuffed right hand. He showed General Mok Jueng and Commander Bu Ruong the tattoo on the back of his hand. Then he said again, “All members of the Earth Snake Network tattooed his snake only head like this. And, all the tattoos are on hands like this. Moreover, these tattoos of dead people had all not been made long ago. The General Lord can check it out to the tattoo maker if you don't believe my words. So, the Lord General can deduce it himself.”
“Means someone tried to make the Earth Snake Network a suspect of attack,” said General Mok Jueng.
“Does the conclusion of Mr General get me free?” ask Su Rai.
“No, Miss Su's defense has not proved that they are not people of Earth Snake,” General Mok said.
Suddenly a group of women dressed in the same bright red all came to enter the body storage room. The six women were led by Bo Fei, the right hand of Princess Yuo Kai. He was still wearing dark blue clothes.
Quite surprised General Mok Jueng and Komanda Bu Ruong saw the appearance of the women.
“What are you doing here, Bo Fei?” hardik Commander Bu Ruong.
“You arrested the person under the protection of Her Highness the Princess. Release Miss Su Rai, the Princess wants to meet her right now!” bo Fei said.
General Mok Jueng and his subordinates. They did not expect that the Earth Snake Network was held by the Palace Family. General Mok Jueng could not say anything more if Princess Yuo Kai had already taken over through her people.
“Release!” general Mok Jueng's.
Commander Bu Ruong approached Su Rai and opened the handcuffs in the girl's hands with the key he had.
“Please, Miss Su!” bo Fei said as he pointed the way to Su Rai.
With a fluffy smile, Su Rai turned away who was accompanied by Bo Fei and followed by the six women who were half of the Red Goose Guards personnel.
“Bu Ruong, quickly check all the existing tattoo makers in this Capital City!” general Mok Jueng's orders were in a high tone as his mood was upset.
“Good, General!” commander Bu Ruong said in his honor.
General Mok Jueng left immediately. In addition to no clear results, the general must also immediately report to the Emperor who had threatened his head last night. He could only hope that the amount of information gathered to him from the reports of the White Eye Bureau could save him from the wrath of the Emperor. (BH)
