FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 60

When Kut Goan arrived at the joint army camp, he went straight to King Cee. Kut Goan handed over the shipment of goods from his king. Of course King Cee and his friends were excited. The goods were distributed among the king and his men. After checking the mao grass queue, King Cee ordered.

"It is better that you deliver to the Kingdom of Ciu!" king Cee told Kut Goan.

"Did Tay-hu have seen the Chinese army?" ask Cee Hoan Kong.

"Because the servant lives in the South, has never seen him. I am so grateful that my Master would show it to my servant." Said Kut Goan.

Cee Hoan Kong took Kut Goan on a train with him, they ran the train to check the ranks of the Young Kings. Because of the many trips they take enough time.

Not long from Cee's troops heard the sound of drums. Then the sound of drums was greeted by other troops, so the sound was rumbling once.

"Tay-hu try to notice," said Cee Hoan Kong haughtily, "I have such a large army. What if we don't fight, will we win?"

Kut Goan smiled, he said: "The greatness of my Master to be the leader of the Young King's Union in China, all because my Master took shelter under Emperor Ciu! Indeed my own Master is wise, so which king dares to argue? But on the contrary, if my Master only relied on my Master's army and his own valour.....Take our Couw country example. Despite being a small country, she has a high Hong-shia, and a deep-water Han-sui river. Even if my master attacks all-out are not necessarily captured!"

Hearing the insinuation King Cee Hoan Kong felt ashamed, so his face turned red, he said with a laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha! It turns out that Tay-hu is a virtuous minister of Couw!I want to tie the knot of friendship with your country. What about Tay-hu?" said King Cee.

"Better my lord wishes to share the fortune in our country then our King should be in union with my Lord!" kut Goan. "Where dare our King to seclude himself, surely he would be happy to associate with my Master!"

King Cee Hoan Kong was very excited, that night he asked Kut Goan to spend the night in his camp. Then a big party was held.

In Siao-leng had erected a stage, on the stage had gathered all the kings and great ministers. There was a treaty immediately, from that time until the next day all the countries should not conflict with each other.

After completing the ceremony, Kut Goan thanked all the kings.

Meanwhile Koan Tiong held talks with Kut Goan, he asked the commander of The country, named Tam Pek, to be returned, while Kut Goan also made a request that King Coa be erased his sin. That is how the two parties agreed, each of them accepted the agreement well.

Kut Goan said he would return to his city, would tell King Couw Seng Ong how the mission ended.

Koan Tiong issued an order to withdraw the entire joint army to return to their countries.

When King Couw already knew the army all the Young Kings had withdrawn, his mind changed. He wants to cancel the delivery of Mao grass to the Kingdom of Ciu. Kut Goan was shocked and then persuaded King Couw not to break his promise.

After being persuaded by Kut Goan and Chu Bun the new King Couw according. He ordered Kut Goan to deliver the tribute to the Kingdom of Ciu.

His Majesty Ciu Hui Ong was very excited when he received the Mao grass tribute, even though the price of the item was not much, but he was happy. Especially during this time King Couw had been disobeying, now he was obediently sending Mao grass.

Emperor Ciu praised Kut Goan with sweet words. He also advised Kut Goan to convey his message, so that King Couw to secure the South and not to run the Tiong-goan area.

"Hamba will heed this message, I promise you!" kut Goan.
