FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 21

Three days later, King Cee Hoan Kong with his army reached the foot of Mount Niu.

At that time the makeup of Leng Cek was still as it used to be, dressed in a mute, shorts, a long hat and bare feet. He stood by the side of the road, not even looking scared or daunted.

When King Cee's chariot was near, Leng Cek struck the buffalo's horn while singing:

"In the waters of the Ciang-long river there is a white stone that shines brightly, brilliantly,

"In it lives the Le fish that is one foot and a half long, the,

"Seum,ur life does not meet King Giauw or Sun who likes the cleverness of someone, he said,

"It's just dressing up in butts and shorts that are only up to the calf bone, the calf,

"From the morning shepherding the buffalo until midnight its dark is not the kepalang,

"The length of the night is so far away that when did the bright morning come?"

Hearing the song King Cee Hoan Kong became astonished, he ordered his men to call Leng Cek and brought to the front of his carriage.

"Hey, shepherd buffalo! She what are you and who's your name?" ask King Cee Hoan Kong.

"Hamba she Leng Cek's servant's name" said Leng Cek respectfully.

"You buffalo herders, why dare to sing insinuating to the government?" said King Cee.

"Hamba a lowly man, how dare you insinuate the Government?"

"I am a subordinate of Emperor Ciu. I bring my army will conquer the Young King who opposes us. At a time when people live happily. grass and trees thrive. I think in the days of King Giauw and Sun was not like now! But you said it wasn't as good as it was in Giauw and Sun times. You said a long night doesn't come early. Is that not his name insinuating?" said King Cee.

"Although the servants of the hamlet and have not experienced the Age of the Emperor Goiauw and Sun who said, greetings ten days there is a wind once, every five days it rains once. So that people can work in the fields calmly. But at the moment the rules are not right. Knowledge is unused. If it is said to be better with the days of Giauw and Sun, of course I do not understand. To the knowledge of the servant, in the time of King Giauw and Sun to clear the ministers and officials, all Raja Muda subjugated. The bad guys are removed until the country is safe. Not much to say but the law goes perfectly. By not getting angry at real grandeur. Now that my Master was abandoned by King Song, King Louw was able to regain his lands. The financial situation is bad, the army must continue to fight. How do the people say serene? I heard King Giauw set aside his son Tan Cu, his throne he handed over to Sun. But Sun refuses and hides in Lam-hoo. People finally caught up with him. He became King. Instead my master killed his own brother to become king. Using the great name of Emperor Ciu to subdue all the Young Kings. How can my lord compare to King Giauw and Sun?" leng Cek said.

"Hm, it's just rude of these hamlets! Why are you so daring to insult me!" jolt King Cee Hoan Kong because of anger.

Then he ordered his men to kill Leng Cek.

The followers of King Cee Hoan Kong who were on his left and right immediately caught Leng Chek, then they tied up.

Seeing that Leng Cheque was not an indiscriminate person, Sek Peng said to King Cee, "This man once faced death, did not hesitate! Not even afraid. He's definitely not an ordinary shepherd. Please forgive him!"

Hearing Sek Peng say so, King Cee Hoan Kong was silent for a moment. He tried to hold back his anger. Then he ordered his men to open the bonds of Leng Cheque.

"I hope you don't become discouraged" said Cee Hoan Kong with a sweet face. "I just want to test where your courage is? Now I know that you're a brilliant scholar."

Leng Chek reached into his shirt pocket. He presented a letter to King Cee.

Cee Hoan-kong immediately opened and looked at the letter, it sounded like this:

"Hamba has received the decree to lead the war troops, when in the middle of the road to the mountain Niu San, I met a man from the land of We she Leng named Cek. This man is not a proper buffalo herder, but someone who has a knack that can be used in this age, so well my lord use him to help. If we release it so it is used by other countries, surely in the future we will regret."

Respect from, KOAN TIONG.

After reading the letter Cee Hoan Kong looked at Leng Cek and said: "You've got a letter from Tiong-hu, why didn't you show it to me?"

"Behold the servant, the just King chooses a man for his servant, while a clever servant also looks for a master who is willing to defend him" said Leng Cek. "And my Master hates the words of an honest servant, and my Master likes praise only. Out of anger, my lord sentenced the servant to death. Even if the servant must die, the servant will not take out the letter from this Day."

Hearing Leng Cek's words, King Cee Hoan Kong was amazed instead of playing, he told Leng Cek to take the train behind King Cee.

When it was late afternoon, Cee's army immediately set up camp for the masonry

At King Cee Hoan Kong's camp, ask for clothes and a copy. In a very hasty manner. Si Tiao who understood the secret mark of his king, immediately asked, "My master asked for clothes and skullcap, is my Master going to rank Leng Cek?"

"Yes, right," said Cee Hoan Kong.

"Hamba feels as good as you, my lord, do not be in a hurry" said Si Tiao "From the land of Cee to the land of We not how far away. Why doesn't my Master tell people to find out first its origin? If it were true that he was clever and learned, I still don't think it's too late to give him rank."

"This man has intelligence, but his customs are very harsh. Maybe in We's country he has a problem" King Cee Hoan Kong said. "If we investigate it and can investigate its error, but we also give him rank. It's a pity, then I don't think I need to find out again the origin."

Illuminated by a bright candle flame King Cee Hoan Kong raised Leng Cek to Tay-hu and told to take care of the government of Cee country together with Koan Tiong.

Leng Cek immediately exchanged clothes and put on an oversized skullcap. After dressing up, he thanked King Cee Hoan Kong.
