FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 2

When the appointed time has come. Lian Ceng and Kwan Ci Hu came to Kho He's house. They were greeted with great joy by the old minister. Then they are welcome to enter the house. In the living room has been arranged a dining table full of delicious food.

After Kho He let the two traitors sit down and they sat down and dined. Kho He held the wine cup while smiling sweetly. Then Kho He said, ”King Cee Siang Kong the deceased has done many improper things, so that day and night I fear Cee's country will be destroyed. Apparently now! It's all really happening.

Luckily Ji-wi Tay-hu (You're both Ministers) can already take down King Cee Siang Kong. He could even raise a new king. Thus, I can also keep and maintain my own ancestral ash place peacefully.

For the day because I was not feeling well, so I could not face the palace. I really feel very sorry. Now fortunately my body has begun to be healthy, then I give this wine to return the favor of the two of you who are great

Further I would like to leave my grandchildren to you both.”

Lian Ceng and Kwan Ci Hu behaved very respectfully and humbly, but they were delighted to be praised so.

”Hamba both did not dare to receive such great praise from Mr.” they said.

While eating, Kho He ordered his men to shut the door of his house.

”Today I want to drink wine as much as possible.” said Kho He.

But quietly he told the doorkeeper,

”You must not report any news coming from outside, but must wait if inside the city has been blamed by fire, then you can come report to me.” Kho He said again while whispering.

Elsewhere at the same time, Yong Lim, armed with an extraordinary sharp little knife, came to the palace. He went straight to Kong-sun Bu Ti. After meeting with Kong-sun Bu Ti, Yong Lim immediately reported.

”Celaka Tuanku!” yong Lim said.

”Hai what's wrong? You suddenly come so nervous and scared?” kong - Sun Bu Ti.

”Celaka Master. Prince Kiu has deployed an army from the Louw country! He's going to attack Cee's country. Soon they'll be here soon. What's our wits? We must immediately arrange a strong guard so that the country is safe!” yong Lim said.

Hearing the news Kong-sun Bu Ti who was indeed stupid and timid was very surprised. With her heart pounding she said, ”Kok Kiu Lian Ceng is where?”

”Kok Kiu and Kwan Tay-hu are partying out of town yet to get home. But all the dignitaries had gathered in the palace. They are waiting for Cu-kong (Master) to arrive to negotiate the matter.” said Yong Lim feigning nervousness and panic.

Kong-sun Bu Ti just believed Yong Lim's talk. He rushed to the palace. But it had just arrived, before it could sit perfectly, all the ministers came forward in unison. Suddenly Yong Lim, who was behind Kong-sun Bu Ti, stabbed Bu Ti in the back with a small knife in his hand. He also perished.

Kong-sun Bu Ti ascended to the throne for only a month.

Lady Lian, the former wife of the late King Cee Siang Kong who was captured by Kong-sun Bu Ti, heard that there had been a riot at the palace, he snared his own neck and died a terrible death in the palace.

Yong Lim ordered his men to light a fire outside the palace. As soon as the fire lit the smoke immediately billowed high into space.

”Beyond fire already lit!”

Hearing this secret sign, Kho He got up and ran into his room.

Lian Ceng and Kwan Ci Hu did not understand what the host meant running into his room. Just now they were about to catch up, and wanted to ask Kho He. The dashing Kho He people were hiding somewhere. Simultaneously they came out. They directly hit and chopped the two traitors. Their bodies were both cut into pieces. The followers of the two traitors for not carrying weapons, when it was all finished off his soul.

It was not long before Yong Lim and the other ministers had come to the Kho family building. They immediately held a meeting.

In the meeting, the decision was made that the two traitors should be dissected in his stomach and out of his heart to worship the spirit of the late King Cee Siang Kong. Then ordered that people go to the palace of Kouw-hun, which is where King Cee Siang Kong was destroyed, that is when he was going hunting. The men were ordered to retrieve the body of King Cee Siang Kong who would be reburied with the ceremony of the kings. Then sent a messenger to the Louw country to welcome the arrival of Prince Kiu who will be invited to return to the land of Cee.

When the envoys from Cee's country reached the Louw country and they informed King Louw Cong Kong of their intentions, King Louw Cong Kong was very excited. He promised to deploy his army to deliver Prince Kiu.

But before the intention was carried out one of the Louw state ministers, named Si Pek, immediately prevented the intention of the King of Louw Cong Kong.

”Cee and Louw countries want to fight for power and position respectively. Now the land of Cee has no king, this servant feels a good opportunity for the land of Louw.”, said Si Pek.

”What do you mean, then what should I do?” ask King Louw.

”It is better that My Lord make the situation in the country of Cee become more chaotic.” replied Si Pek.

Hearing this advice Louw Cong Kong paused for a moment. Louw Cong Kong suddenly became suspicious. He doesn't know how to make a decision.

At that time Ibusurkan Bun Kiang, mother of Louw Cong Kong or sister of Cee Siang Kong, when he got word King Cee Siang Kong was killed, from Ciok-kiu he immediately returned to the land of Louw.

Day and night he persuaded his son to mobilize the army to attack the land of Cee. He asked his son to destroy Kong-sun Bu Ti. Bun Kiang intended to take revenge on his brother's enemies. But after getting word Kong-sun Bu Ti was dead. Even the emissaries from the land of Cee came to welcome Prince Kiu to return home. How happy I am to explore Bun Kiang. Then he urged King Louw Cong Kong to deliver Prince Kiu immediately. His brother's son or nephew to the land of Cee.

Because King Louw's mother was very pushy, King Louw Louw Cong Kong became worried. So the advice of the Pek was ignored. He led his 300 chariots and thousands of Louw soldiers. He made Co Moay his head of war. Cin Cu and Liang Cu served as auxiliaries on the left and right of his troops. Iringan Prince Kiu is heading to the land of Cee.

On the way back Koan Tiong said to King Louw.

”Prince Siao Pek is in Ki's country, from Ki's country to Cee's country is closer than from Louw's country to Cee's country. If Siao Pek has already entered the capital, my Cu-kong will lose its right. Therefore I beg that I be given a good horse so that I can walk first to prevent Siao Pek from seizing the position of Cu-kong-ku.” said Koan Tiong.

”Yes, your opinion is correct, you guys want to use army how many?” louw Cong Kong.

”Thirty war chariots are enough,” said Koan Tiong.

After Koan Tiong received what he asked for, immediately he departed quickly.
