A moment later two young men were seen walking quickly down the streets of the Duchy of Pati.
Two young men who one looks tall but has a very agile movement while the other is a young man who is shorter in stature.
Under such circumstances lately, the city of Pati Duchy was in full vigilance.
Kanjeng Adipati Pragola through his loyal servants had ordered all the citizens of the duchy to prepare themselves!
Prepare yourself if there are smugglers and coders from Mataram or from parties who deliberately seek profit in these circumstances.
There were many soldiers who were in charge of surrounding the city.
Likewise, in every village passed by these two young men, there were many guards and guards on guard in each regol paduhan.
After walking for a long time quickly and sometimes running along the streets if the situation is quiet then now they have approached a region that is on the outskirts of the city of Pati to the west.
The two young men then walked leisurely to avoid suspicion from those who ran into them although often those who were patrolling had asked them both about the purpose of them.
But they have been able to give the right answer especially indeed the smaller youth seems to have mastered the true logic of the Pati people so that the patrols and soldiers they meet do not harbor suspicion of them both.
"We are approaching the territory of Margorejo Kakang" whispered the young man.
"According to my people, the group of Tayub dancers were under the protection of Tumenggung Jayaraga."
"And I guess they must be around the Katumenggungan board. And I heard they were in Pakuwon which is not far from where Tumenggung Jayaraga is."
"And several times I was invited by Father to visit the residence Tumenggung Jayaraga."
"And I know for a fact that the pakuwon used to receive important guests from Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga is outside Ki Tumenggung Residence" said the young man.
"There are several buildings that are located several hundred spears from where Ki Tumenggung."
As well as the residence of the Tumenggung shaped like a beteng with a fence that is high enough and regol that looks strong.
Tumenggung Jayaraga residence is also a very large building surrounded by fences that are not easy to be penetrated by foreigners.
"In addition to very strong guard, the fence surrounding the building is also very high and not easy to be jumped by just anyone," explained the young man who was rather small.
The tall young man just nodded slowly.
Now in front of them did not lie a complex of buildings large enough and wide, while around it there are also various kinds of large and small buildings.
"We have reached Kakang," said the smaller young man who immediately stopped his steps and then invited the taller young man to take shelter behind a fairly large tree that was on the side of a large road that crossed the katumenggungungan complex the Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga.
the Katumanggung complex of Tumenggung Jayaraga itself is just a few dozen spears from the highway that connects between the cities of Pati Pesantenan and Demak Bintoro, so that everyone who crosses this road will easily be under the supervision of the soldiers who are under the Tumenggung Jayaraga.
After some time observing from a distance the existing Pakuwon-pakuwon, it seems that these two young men have been attracted to a Pakuwon who was in the middle among the other Pakuwon.
In that place which is a building in the form of limasan and Joglo style visible light illumination that is still bright enough.
This can be seen from the butterfly door that opened wide enough where some young people and also apparently there are some dancing girls who were chatting in the house.
"It seems that the dance troupe was in the dress Kakang Tirta," said the smaller youth who turned out to be Pandan Arum who dressed succinctly as a man's clothes.
This girl was deliberately dressed like this because indeed she had also been used to dressing like this while serving as a female soldier.
This is done to not cause excessive suspicion of the people he met and also to be more free to move.
"We will see them legs, I want to know what they are doing" whispered Pandan Arum in the ear of Tirta Jaya Kusuma who was crouching next to him.
Tirta only nodded in agreement to the words of Pandan Arum.
Both of them moved carefully. both of them twisted past the barn and bushes to avoid the observation of the soldiers who stood guard because after all they were around Beteng katumenggung led by Ki Tumenggung Jayaraga.
After moving carefully enough they finally managed to reach Pakuwon occupied by the tayub dancers.
Both of them then had peered into Pakuan where the tayub dancers were joking and chatting with some young men who one of the young men was immediately recognized by Tirta Jaya Kusuma as Raden Stifling.
Next to her sat a beautiful girl who was the most beautiful girl from the tayub dance troupe.
This girl lowered her face more and more looking at the floor.
Unlike the other dancing girls who are more open and joking with some young people and even look brave enough for the size of a girl in that era.
The girl who is the founder of tayub dancers is very shy and tends to keep her distance and this is what makes Tumenggung Jayaraga's favorite son more curious.
Already many times Raden Rangga tried to launch his deadly seduction which is often able to conquer beautiful girls in the city of Pati Duchy. However, it seems that all the ways Raden Rangga has to conquer the girls are not effective against this girl.
Various expensive gifts have been given to this girl but this girl does not seem to care about all the gifts, earrings and all the jewelry given by Raden Rangga to this girl.
The girl who is the flower of the tayub dancers is like a pigeon that seems tame but it turns out to be very difficult to catch.
While dancing this girl as well as the other Tayub dancers can make the younger brothers tremble but it turns out this girl is very difficult to be conquered by Raden Rangga.
Meanwhile, one by one these dancing girls have entered the rooms or sentong-sentong which is indeed widely available in Pakuwon.
They have each got their own partner.
"Come on Nimas, accompany me tonight, just tonight, said Raden Rangga who seems to have begun to get impatient while in his right hand still holding a jug that seems to contain wine made from legen.
