The Story of Nine Journeys

Emperor's Steps

The Han Imperial palace meeting hall

Tirta Sagara entered the room of the Meeting Hall with Princess Han Xiao Ling after they had passed by some officials who had finished meeting

Inside the room were only Emperor Han, Prince Han Luo, daughter Han Xiao Mei and great General Li as well as the four direct subordinates of Emperor Han

Tirta Sagara and Han Xiao Ling's daughter immediately saluted then sat down after Emperor Han invited

Emperor Han started to open his voice

" Hear it all, right now here there are only people I trust very much so remember well everything I said because this information is very confidential "

Emperor Han circulated his gaze, staring at each face of the few people who had been helping him with his entire body

Emperor Han turned his gaze to one person then said back

" First I invite you young people to introduce yourself first, don't hesitate to say anything about yourself that we should know "

Although already know who Tirta Sagara because in their first meeting Tirta Sagara has explained who he is but because at this time there are some other people who do not know the Han emperor feel the need to do that even though his confidants would not doubt his every decision

Tirta Sagara stood up then spoke after saluting

" Mister Master all introduce me Tirta Sagara who is from a distant country, I am a student of Mr Bayu Tirta who he is my Father "

" I came here on his orders whose purpose and purpose I cannot say, so I apologize for that "

" Tu-Tuan Bayu Tirta, young man, is it true that you are his son "asked one of the subordinates of the Han emperor

" Really, I didn't expect to meet his descendants "another said

The great general Li sighed, every time he heard that name his chest was pounding, some events related to Lord Bayu Tirta were very imprinted in his memory

Tirta Sagara himself did not expect to get such a response, he was really shocked but in his heart he really felt proud of his father

Among all the court officials, only a handful of people knew about the figure of Bayu Tirta and they were supporters of the first generation Han Qing emperor who participated in the struggle for the throne when the Han Qing emperor competed with his brother and sister five of them are now in this place

The great general Li still remembers first meeting Bayu Tirta, when he and the crown prince (emperor Han Qing) were on their way to a sect to seek support

On the way their entourage was stopped by a group of people who later in the know they are the men of the brother of the prince Han Qing

Although they won the amount but still they were defeated because they lost in terms of strength, when in a desperate situation Bayu Tirta appeared and helped them

The group that confronted the Han Qing prince was successfully made kocar kacir by Bayu Tirta but none of them were killed by Bayu Tirta on the grounds that he only helped not kill

Since then the friendship between Prince Han Qing and Bayu Tirta was established, although older and highly educated but Bayu Tirta did not behave stiff or arrogant and that attitude made Prince Han Qing respect him

Although he did not live long in the Han empire, Bayu Tirta was involved in several important events, including the failure of an attack by a rival brother group of the Prince of Han Qing against the imperial court because not accept his defeat in the struggle for the imperial throne

Bayu Tirta had also destroyed the base of the rebel group and destroyed a black-flow sect one of the main supporters of Prince Han Qing's brother

And also participated in a war when other empires invaded the Han empire when not long ago the Han Qing prince ascended the throne

Bayu Tirta also taught some martial arts to Prince Han Qing and the great General Li for their future provisions,Bayu Tirta also explained that he actually also only had another student in the Han empire, only he did not explain who his student was

Bayu Tirta left when the state of the Han Empire had calmed down, he said that he would return to his original place, where he came from,before his return Bayu Tirta advised that if in the future there is someone who comes then they must consider that person a brother like what they did to him because it might be that person brought something important

That is why when the great general Li first saw Tirta Sagara he immediately knew his place of origin because he saw the keris in use Tirta Sagara and also the aura emanated from him was almost the same as the aura that he had the Bayu Tirta

Emperor Han then spoke

" Well, now we're going to go straight to the core of the problem "

Everyone fell silent, preparing their ears and minds to hear what Emperor Han was going to say

" First on the border issue, from the information I received apparently the Qin Empire was really looking for trouble with us, the movement of their people had already crossed the tolerance limit, hence I will act decisively, he said,I order whoever is appointed to serve there to arrest and destroy them, take them all without exception, understand,,,"

Emperor Han paused for a moment to see the response of his people, after a while he resumed

" Secondly, about the increasingly troubling movement of rebel groups, there have been many reports of citizen grievances as a result of their actions,I'll assign some core commanders to deal with this matter even though it might affect the security of the core region of the empire but I guess it's better than letting the citizens fear the terror they receive "

As before Emperor Han stopped to see the response of everything

" Third, about the upcoming martial arts competition, I hope you have a solution because I'm constrained by what happened to my wife,,,"

" And remember, whoever is involved in this I command to move silently so as not to be known by the other party who is appointed first to overcome the same problem,,,,, that is,,,understand "

Everyone present nodded

"Well, now we're going to start discussing this issue together to find the best way out "

The meeting lasted long until the night before the Han emperor ended it after getting a solution of all his problems

One by one people left the meeting after saying goodbye to the others until the remaining Han Emperor, the great general Li, the prince Han Luo and Tirta Sagara

Emperor Han deliberately detained Tirta Sagara and Prince Han Luo because there were some things he needed to ask

" Tirta Sagara, before that I apologize for getting you involved in our matter, I just wanted to ask you if you would be willing if I asked you to help my son deal with the matter of the Martial Race event "

" I can understand if you refuse but I am very grateful and will give you the proper reward if you are willing to help him even though there is no obligation for you to help "

Tirta Sagara pondered for a moment before finally answering

" Your Majesty, you,,,Dad once told me if helping someone never thank you or doubt so because Dad used to help you then the servant was willing as Dad did before because he is a person whom I admire "

Everyone who was there smiled and breathed a sigh of relief because with his help it would slightly reduce their burden especially Prince Han Luo

At the inn right after three days of being there Jun Yuan finally opened his eyes, the first thing he saw were two faces with different expressions

Lin Zhi with a charming smile said

" Aiiihhh,, my wife finally woke up too, thank goodness our worries were finally wiped out, really "

While Mu Qiaoyu with her cold face said sniffly

" You're finally up, too, you lazy boy "

Jun Yuan who had just woken up was shocked to hear it

" Women are troublesome "
