In a whisper Tirta then said to Bayu and Adnan.
"Let's look at the slenthem hitter the middle-aged man was holding" Tirta said.
"Look at the slenthem bat was just the pentol, the handle was gone" Tirta said.
"Yes, too.." Bayu said after paying attention to the leader of this dance troupe.
Thus that night the tayub event was not resumed because the residents had gone running and returned to their homes because of fear.
Only the youths and people who were brave enough remained in Ki Demang's courtyard.
Ki lurah Jagadenta then has turned his gaze towards the people who still survive in this place.
He already knew how capable the young men who had just formed were to become the Kademangan guards and allow them to one day be recruited into the warriors of the Pati Duchy if the Pati duchy needed manpower the energy of the Kademangan guards.
Now his views are directed to three foreign youths who have now been in the place with several youths assigned by Ki Jagabaya to escort three foreign youths.
He looked at the faces of these three young people carefully.
Other than their clothes that seemed foreign to his eyesight, none of them looked special from these three young men.
except for a young man as big as a barrel who with a face full of friendly and funny smiles.
Then Ki Lurah Jagadenta also turned his eyes towards the group of tayub dancers.
The dance troupe consists of four dancing girls and five Nayakas.
And when looking at the Nayakas, Ki lurah's heart became suspicious.
Of these five men all five appear to be quite sturdy bodies.they are like trained in canuragan," inner Ki Lurah Warrior.
While the leader even though it looks a bit old, but his body also looks quite sturdy and upright enough to show that his body is well trained enough to be able to do more. do what ordinary men cannot.
Although it seems that this man often lowered his face, but Ki lurah Jagadenta was able to see that behind the eyes of the man the leader of this dance troupe emanated a hidden power.
But Ki lurah Jagadenta could not carelessly express his suspicions.
And that night, the men also stood guard on the stage that had been used as a stage tayub dancers and some of the young men of the Kademangan Pucakwangi bodyguards had gone around the fort, he said, guarding against all possibilities that could happen.
Tirta Jaya Kusuma, Bayu and Adnan have finally joined on this stage and talked about everything with the soldiers and also Ki Lurah Jagadenta.
Meanwhile behind the door of Ki Demang Pucakwangi's house.
A young girl looked up at the young men talking on stage.
His gaze was fixed on three foreign youths he had never seen.
The three of them seemed very attractive to him especially a tall and somewhat thin young man with a very sharp eye.
This girl is Rara Wulan. The second daughter of Ki Demang Pucakwangi.
Her face was ovoid with sharp round eyes full of lively vigor.
His eyes seemed to be focused on Tirta Jaya Kusuma.
"Eh, Madam Ayu! Who is it!" exclaim someone.
This voice had shocked Rara Wulan who had come from the back of this girl's body.
How surprised this girl was when suddenly behind her stood a slightly fat young man with a face that also looked cheerful and smiled towards this girl.
"Huh! Just ngagetin you adi," whispered Rara Wulan did not want others to know that she was watching three foreign youths who were talking with her father and also with Ki Lurah Warrior.
To distract the young man whose responsibility turned out to be the younger sister of this girl, Rara Wulan had then said.
"The clothes they were wearing were so strange but so beautiful" continued Rara Wulan.
"Indeed, Ma'am Ayu...
But the tall skinny young man seemed to attract more attention to Mbak Ayu than the clothes they were wearing," said the young man with a smile towards Rara Wulan.
And this guess from the young man of responsibility was very precise with what the older brother had thought.
"Eh..?" Rara Wulan exclaimed in shock that the secret of her heart could be guessed precisely by her younger brother.
In her embarrassment this girl had then expelled this younger brother of hers.
"Ah, it is already ... Same go!" banish Rara Wulan because she was ashamed of the secret of her heart was successfully guessed by her sister.
The younger sister had left Rara Wulan and then joined some of the people who were talking on stage.

"Actually, who are you?" Ask Ki Lurah Warrior, Jagadenta.
"We are cantrik cantrik assigned our teacher to seek out Ki Lurah's experience. And we're on our way to the Duchy of Pati." Tirta.
"We want to devote a little of our abilities to the Duchy of Pati Ki." Connect Adnan.
"We want to become Abdi Dalem Kadipaten!" Adnan.
"Oh. what a coincidence, young man! I'm the one responsible for the formation of troops in this region.
"I was assigned by Ki Tumenggung to form a warrior unit consisting of young people in this Kademangan." Said Ki Lurah the warrior, Jagadenta.
"The young men from this Academy are being formed into an army of Kademangan guards and if they are qualified in the army then I will take them to the Duchy of Pati," explained Ki Jagadenta.
"But young people, you are like children of nobility who are still raw and never seem to work hard. Your body looks frail! Is it true that you want to be determined to make energy into a courtier?" Said Ki Lurah Jagadenta appeared to underestimate these three young men.
Hearing the words of ki Lurah Jagadenta, Bayu seemed to smile.
"We have been educated very hard in Ki Lurah.
"Ki Lurah can test us tomorrow whether we deserve to join the Kademangan guards or not" Bayu said with a funny smile.
"Okay, good young people.you can tomorrow follow the training of the army together with the young people of this academy.
Thus when it was near dawn they fell asleep on this stage with the other young men.
And when the tongs of a breach were violently struck, the young men who fell asleep on this stage were awakened one by one.
Some young people have returned to their homes, while some have headed to the hangar (mushola) which is located not far from Ki Demang's house.
***
That morning, when the sun was as high as a spear.
The young men had prepared in the courtyard of the padukuhan banjar located beside Ki Demang Pucakwangi's house.
These young men have formed a line.
There were dozens of young people who that morning had come in the courtyard of this banjar.
These young men were bare-chested and showed a jet body burning in the sun. Body that looks strong and strong. The body is sunburned every day because they work in the fields and also angon pets such as buffalo and cows.
While among these young men were seen three foreign youths with clothes that were also foreign to the people of Padukuhan.
"If you want to devote yourself to the Duchy of Pati, then follow the rules I set!" Said Ki Lurah Jagadenta when the warrior lurah was near Tirta Jaya Kusuma, Bayu and Adnan.
