THE SOUTHEAST EARTH FIRE GOD SWORD
PART 10'S
His majesty Sangaji smiled happily to welcome the prospective warlord of his kingdom. He stretched out his arms and hugged Hongli's body with confidence. The Jenateke (crowned son), who was sitting half-lying on a chair of his greatness because he was still sick next to his father's great chair, greeted him with an inflated smile while raising his thumb to his future successor temporarily before stretching out his two hands. Hongli bowed his body and hugged the Jenateka. Maybe because it was too tight a hug and Hongli did not understand where the body part of Jenateke was injured, so that the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Tambora was heard screaming stifled.
"Oh, forgive me, Your Highness the Viceroy," said Hongli in surprise and guilt.
"It's okay...."
"Hongli. Name servant Hongli..”
"Yes, Hongli. Thank you,” said Jenateke, while putting his palm on his left chest that was covered with a type of white bandage that had seemed to turn red due to the seepage of fresh blood.
Hongli saw that looking a little choked up in shock. "Sorry, Your Highness the Viceroy, can I see his wounds?"
"Oh, yes. Please, Hongli."
Hongli carefully removed the oversized part of Jenateke's shirt to the side, to then remove the bandage cloth. Looks like a gaping arrow scar with blackened color. And the black color has spread to almost all of Jenateke's body. Hongli's face implied his concern. "This is a very powerful poison arrow, Your Highness the Young King. And it seems that the poison has started to attack other parts of the body and the nerves. Sorry, Your Highness the Young King, how many healers have treated him?"
"Already dozens of healers, "revealed Paduka Sangaji. "But there has been no change. It's even worse."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Because the treatment is only on the outside only while the poison has not been sucked. Forgive me, sire, is it permissible for the servant to give the initial treatment?"
"Oh, yes, please, Hongli. I'm very grateful" Jenateke replied.
Hongli immediately straightened his ring and index fingers under his chin while closing his eyes and gathering his pure energy. In plain view, the pure energy of a white sheen was flowing and collected on both fingers of his hand. Then with one reflex move, he touched both fingers to the surface of Jenateke's wound. The body of the great swordsman of China was also shaking due to the power of his inner exertions. And in plain sight, the blackish wana on Jenateke's entire body flowed into the core of the wound, sucked by Hongli's two fingers. After all the toxins were sucked out, Jenateke's body also revealed its original natural color, yellow. Hongli pulled back his two fingers that had turned blackened it reflexively as well. The black color collected on both fingers of his hand vanished after he struggled with the fingers of his left hand.
Jenateke tried to move his body freely. Slowly his face emitted a ray of joy. The pain that he had been feeling and was tormenting him so much, now disappeared with nothing left. "Oh, for the sake of the Great God, the pain that has been attacking all my nerves has now completely disappeared, Father Sangaji. Ananda really feels healthy now. Only pain in this wound remained. Thank you Hongli. Kauseruh an extraordinary swordsman and healer! Thank you, thank you..!"
His Majesty Sangaji (Baginda Raja) is happy and grateful to witness a miracle presented before his eyes. He got up from his seat of greatness and embraced his Crown Son. "Congratulations, Anandaku. My father was very happy and grateful for your recovery." He turned his face to Hongli and said, "In my name as a Sangaji and in the name of the people of Tambora I express my immense gratitude to you, Mr Hongli!"
Hongli was respectful. "More servants, Your Majesty. Great thanks to you for your acceptance of my master for your dedication in the kingdom of His Majesty. Happiness for the servant because His Highness the Young King can smile back. The door wound of His Highness the Young King will recover in a short time, servant of taste."
Jenateke got up from her seat and stood flanking Hongli. And to all the people of Tambora who witnessed the event, he said in his loud and authoritative voice, "O Lord of all my people whom I love. Listen sabdaku. From this moment on, Mr. Hongli I raise as my companion. Commander-in-chief. That is, his order is as valid as mine! Opposing his orders is the same as defying my orders!"
"And..." Ndai Sangaji continued the words of his crown son, "from today, to Mr. Hongli, in my name as Sangaji and in the name of the Kingdom of Tambora I presided over, I gave his top glass with the title of Dato, and I gave it to him, a great bearer of good for the glory of this kingdom that we love!"
The word of the two great men was greeted by the hustle and bustle of all the people of the Kingdom of Tambora who were present in that place. And the raucous welcome came again when Hongli, now Dato Hongli, was given the chance to speak and to reiterate his words: "To the people of Tambora whom I respect. Introduce my name Honglli, and now have the title Dato Hongli. I am an immigrant from a very distant country called the Chinese Plain. Since this day has been entrusted by Paduka Jenateka as his companion in the task of the presidency, and for the sake of the Great Lord I take an oath to give my true loyalty and my best devotion to the glory of this beloved Kingdom of Tambora. I am a very firm believer in the wise words: Where the earth is cast, the heavens are held in high esteem!"
So since then Dato Hongli has really fulfilled his promise to give his best service to the kingdom of Sanggar. After Jenateke fully recovered, Dato Hongli faithfully accompanied in every single task of the presidency. The enemies of the Kingdom of Tambora were conquered. Some were conquered through counter-attack, some were done with peaceful missions. But there are also small kingdoms that voluntarily declare themselves submissive and are under the rule of the Kingdom of Tambora as a protective kingdom. Thanks to his knowledge as a former conquering general in an empire, Dato Hongli easily helped to build a very tough and courageous army in other kingdoms. At its peak, the Kingdom of Tambora was transformed as a respected kingdom and able to create peace and prosperity for all its people.
There was also his new family, La Mbila and La Hiri, raised the degree of his life. By Dato Hongli they are drawn into the royal sphere and remain with him as his own family, and La Gunta Marunta which he had considered as his achievement he adopted as a believer after he mastered with the knowledge of highly qualified power.
Dato Hongli was on good terms with Jenateke from other kingdoms, including Jenateke from Mbojo Kingdom. By Jenateke Sangaji Mbojo he was asked to help build a strong war force by providing training in sports science to all the soldiers of the kingdom.
