Chapter 80 Truth or Desire?

However, they were faced with dozens of troublemakers led by Kiam-mo Cai-li! The mob was trying to set fire to the prince's palace with fiery arrows, and the palace guards had been slain by them.
"He is Kiam-mo Cai-li, the owner of Rawa Bangkai palace," said Han Lojin, pointing at a beautiful woman who was dressed in luxurious clothes.
It was seen that Kiam-mo Cai-li was leading dozens of his assistants to rain arrows towards the palace. Part of the palace began to burn.
Hearing that this woman was one of his suheng's assassins, Swat Hong couldn't contain his heart any longer. He jumped out of hiding with sword in hand. Immediately he attacked while yelling, "Demon Kiam-mo Cai-li, get ready to redeem the life of Suheng Kwa Sin Liong!!"
"Singgg... syuuutttt... aiihhh !" Kiam-mo Cai-li quickly dodged it by jumping backwards. the hair
The long, lifelike one moved to grab Swat Hong's wrist.
But this virgin is quite nimble. Seeing the black light flash, he had already reversed his sword and slashed so that a clump of hair was cut off, making Kiam-mo Cai-li scream in surprise and anger. When he looked and saw that what appeared was a girl friend of Sin Liong, the girl from Ice Island as told by The Kwat Lin, he was shocked beyond words. What's more, seeing Han Lojin, Ouw Sian Kok, and Liu Bwee, who clearly imagined shrewdness.
"Arrows down them!" he suddenly shouted as he jumped far back to give the twelve acolytes a chance to attack these four people.
The twelve men were Kiam-Mo Cai-li's men from Rawa Bangkai who had been specially trained to use flaming arrows. When they heard this signal and recognized Swat Hong's face as the girl who had raided the Swamp of Carrion, they quickly aimed their arrows. It appeared that fiery rays flashed to the four people.
"Wir-wir-wir...!!" It's terrible when the arrows come with flaming tips. One can imagine how terrible it would be if the flaming arrows hit the body!
However, the four people were not random people. With great ease, Han Lojin and Ouw Sian Kok raced the hem of their clothes, knocking down all the arrows that were shooting at them. Meanwhile, Liu Bwee and Swat Hong had also knocked down all the arrows that were coming at them with their swords so that the arrows were broken.
"Demon!" Swat Hong leapt forward, his sword was turned swiftly and he had made a powerful lunge at Kiam-mo Cai-li.
"Tranggg! Tricks!" the umbrella sword in Kiam-mo Cai-li's hand was parried and his long fingernails made a snap as he gripped towards Swat Hong which this wench managed to dodge.
"You guys face them. Women are shrewd and dangerous, I have to take care of Swat Hong," said Han Lojin to Ouw Sian Kok and Liu Bwee.

Liu Bwee nodded. Her heart was relieved because with the help of her husband's grandfather, she was not worried about her daughter's safety. So together with Ouw Sian Kok, he went on a rampage and woe to the twelve members of Rawa Bangkai's men. How could they possibly fight against these two shrewd people from Ice Island and Hell Island? Even though they all used swords and machetes to attack and gang up on them, one by one they fell down and couldn't get back up.
There is also a match between Swat Hong against Kiam-mo Cai-li which was very exciting and tense. Even though basically Swat Hong has higher martial arts that are purer and stronger, but facing a heretical Datuk like Kiam-mo Cai-li who is very smart and has a lot of experience, several times he has almost been bitten by those long poisoned fingernails. Kiam-mo Cai-li's three types of weapons greatly confused Swat Hong. With quick sword moves, Swat Hong was able to block the parasol sword and the fingernails of the she-demon's left hand, and she even started pressing with her swift and cold swordplay.
"Get lost!" Swat Hong snapped and his sword stabbed.
"Tranggg...! Brettt...!!" Swat Hong's sword met the parasol and managed to penetrate and tear the parasol, however, his sword was squeezed between the parasols so that the two swords met and stuck together.
"Hi-hi-hik, you're the one who got killed!" Kiam-mo Cai-li shouted, his left hand gripped Swat Hong's chest. If he got grabbed by those poisoned nails, Swat Hong's chest would definitely be very dangerous.
"Plaque!" Swat Hong was ready and his left hand caught the opponent's wrist from below. Now there was a power struggle because their hands were no longer free.
At that moment Kiam-mo Cai-li's long hair fluttered as he moved his head while laughing. Like a live snake, the hair clump grabbed with a death finger! Swat Hong was shocked, but his heart became relieved again when he saw the image of his great-grandfather flashing.
"Plakkk!!" the hair was grabbed by Han Lojin's hand.
"Aihhh...let go...!" Kiam-mo Cai-li screamed because no matter how hard he tried to pull his hair, it still couldn't come off, even tighter.
"Swat Hong, let him go, back off!" Han Lojin exclaimed.
Swat Hong didn't dare to argue back, then let go of his grip and drew his sword jumping backwards.
"Kiam-mo Cai-li, I just want to ask you!" Han Lojin said, his voice ethereal.
Seeing this old man whom he knew was very shrewd, the clever Kiam-mo Cai-li then knelt down in front of the old man, bowed his head and said, "Lo-cianpwe, I'm sorry, I don't dare to go against the powerful Lo-cianpwe. The question is whether What would Lo-Cianpwe (Mighty Grandfather) propose to me?"
Swat Hong furrowed his brows seeing Kiam-mo Cai-li's frightened attitude.
However, Han Lojin only stroked his beard. "Hmmm, everyone has committed deviations in their life. Regret accompanied by high awareness brings understanding so that the pervert will feel disgusted to continue his perversion. Kiam-mo Cai-li, it's a shame if intelligence like you have is used for evil. I want to ask , where is The Kwat Lin?”
"The Kwat Lin? Ohh, he's in… hell with you!" Suddenly the woman from below attacked with her poisoned umbrella and nails.

"Ceppp... bresss...!"
"Damn it..." Swat Hong screamed and his sword moved as fast as lightning before Kiam-mo Cai-li had time to pull his sword back from the old man's chest.
"Preppp...! Aihhhh...!!" blood was spurting from Kiam-mo Cai-li's stomach and Han Lojin's chest.
The old man was still standing straight, smiling when the sword was pulled out of his chest. Kiam-mo Cai-li let out a beast-like scream when he bumped into Swat Hong and attacked him, but Swat Hong had already dodged it and from the side his sword snatched again.
"Crockkk!!" Kiam-mo Cai-li's staggered body could no longer avoid it. His neck was pierced by a sword and he fell to the ground, twitching with bulging eyes at Swat Hong.
"Lo-cianpwe...!" Ouw Sian Kok, who together with Liu Bwee, had succeeded in knocking down the twelve people, jumped up and embraced the old man because the snicker, who was still standing straight, clutched his bloody chest.
The old man shook his head, looking at Swat Hong. "Aihhh, you're so fierce, Swat Hong...!"
"Kongcouw... he's evil... deserves to be killed!" Swat Hong said, looking at the now motionless corpse of Kiam-mo Cai-li.
"Hayaaaa... never been knocked down by anyone, once this time tricked by a woman's cunning... this is how it should be... you guys... reduce or eliminate it altogether.... viciousness....
violence, kill kill this Because who uses violence will be a victim of violence
anyway.... well, goodbye kids. "
The body that was standing still was still standing, but if it wasn't embraced it would have collapsed because at that moment Han Lojin had breathed his last. This grandpa is really amazing. The umbrella sword that Kiam-mo Cai-li stabbed underhandedly pierced his chest and through his heart, but he was still able to stand straight and speak!
Liu Bwee and Swat Hong knelt in tears. But Ouw Sian Kok said, "Please get up and let's quickly take Lo-Cianpwe's body out of town."
Liu Bwee wiped away the tears and took Swat Hong's hand, pulling the girl to her feet. "Ouw-twako's right, Hong-ji. We have nothing else to do here, and things are getting messy. Our assignment is in the first capital, Tian-an."
Reminded that The Kwat Lin was at Tiantian, Swat Hong looked at his mother.
"We forced them to talk earlier, and one of them admitted where The Kwat Lin was. He was in Tianan-an, his job was the same as Kiam-mo Cai-li, namely to disrupt the king's city when the rebels invaded there."
Swat Hong nodded, glancing once more at Kiam-mo Cai-li's corpse. A feeling of relief and contentment crept into his heart remembering the death of his suheng, which, however, had now been somewhat repaid by the death of this woman. He then followed his mother away from the place.
War, war, war! As the world developed, there seemed to be no end to wars between humans. As history progresses, it is evident that in every era humans wage war, from the Stone Age to modern times! It seems that no matter how advanced human beings are from an external perspective, on the contrary, from an internal perspective, humans are even more backward! Why not?
In ancient times, what was said to be war were those who immediately plunged into a sapyuh war, and these were also the victims, who killed or were killed. Increasingly, the development of war becomes more vicious and crueler, more unjust and further away from what we call humanity. Now, in modern times, there are many who directly hold guns

survived because he mastered war techniques, good at defending himself, good at hiding. On the other hand, the people who don't know anything die silly!
War, wherever it takes place in this world, with whatever words it is covered with, with beautiful words such as struggle, holy war, war to defend the country, to defend religion, to defend honor and so on, it is still war which means killing. among humans, killing is only to vent revenge and hatred so it is extremely savage, far surpassing the savagery of any animal that lives in this world. We are all responsible for this!
The wars that took place between nations, between groups, between groups, erupted because of us! War between nations or countries is only the result of the interests of the I, my people, my religion, my truth, my honor, my independence and so on which originate in me. War between nations is only a major form of war between neighbors and war between neighbors is a major form of war between families or individuals and all of this has its source in the war within ourselves.
Our minds are full every day with desire, envy, revenge, hate and all forms of violence and cruelty. If all of that controls our minds, controls the world, is it surprising that there is always hostility and war in this world? Since history was recorded, every party that did war did not consider it a bad thing. On the contrary, various excuses were put forward as a kind of cover in front of the face of the war he was carrying out, a guise of self-defense, a war for justice, and a war for peace!
How ridiculous. War for justice! War for peace! By killing fellow human beings. We are always caught in this trap of deceitful words. The notion that the end justifies the means is self-deception and contrary to reality. Is it possible to achieve good goals by means of evil? What matters is the method, not the goal. The goal is the future which is not yet there, is only the result, otherwise the means is the present, the present, the real!
Under the pretext of 'overthrowing the tyrant', An Lu Shan led his hundreds of thousands of troops to charge south. At such times, An Lu Shan and all his followers thought that they were 'struggling' and they simply did not want to see that in the future if they succeeded and held power, there would also be parties who labeled it as 'tyrannical power' and new ones too!
On the other hand, the old Emperor Han Tiong or Beng Ong, along with his loyal courtiers, of course put up a staunch resistance on the pretext of 'destroying and eradicating the rebels'. They forget that the events of the rebellion actually arose because of their own actions.
The strength of the army led by An Lu Shan was indeed formidable. In just a few months, once invaded, he had controlled the entire area north of the Huangho River. His troops eventually succeeded in breaking down Lok-yang's defenses and occupying the second capital. Then An Lu Shan again gathered his forces and continued his march towards the king's city of Tianan! The death of Kiam-mo Cai-li made this general regret. Of course, this regret is based on the fact that he lost a reliable helper!
When the old Emperor heard how Lok-yang had fallen into the hands of the rebel An Lu Shan in just a few days, his eyes began to open. During this time the Emperor paid little attention to defense matters and most of his time was spent in the bedroom and on the soft, warm and fragrant bed of his beloved concubine, Yang Kui Hui.
Rise up his enthusiasm, his youthful enthusiasm which has now been hidden for too long. He succeeded in rekindling the enthusiasm of his troops which he gathered at Ling Pao where the Emperor formed a strong fortress. Even this once he led himself to fight against An Lu Shan with a heart full of rage. Whose heart wouldn't hurt when he remembered how much he had given An Lu Shan such a great gift, even his beloved concubine had considered An Lu Shan as a foster son. And now the general is rebelling!
Whatever action is done by someone to another person, it is not right behind it

hiding any strings attached. An act may be considered by the public as a good deed, but if the act hides self-interest, whether consciously or not, then that act is not right. The act of helping others is generally considered good, but if it is done with any intention, it is not helping his name, but only giving a loan to be billed back later in the form of retribution!
As long as the person doing it feels that he is doing good, feels that he is helping, this feeling contains self-interest! Definitely not true! And as long as there are strings attached behind every deed, it will surely bring regret, pride, disappointment, revenge, sycophancy, bullying and others. Every action is right only if it is driven or based on LOVE!
Likewise with the Emperor. Because he felt that he had helped An Lu Shan, felt he had done good to the general, regret, anger and hatred arose because the one he had helped did not return kindness. The secret hidden behind his previous help was to demand revenge in the form of loyalty, respect, or at least not to let the general dare to fight him!
This example occurs without us realizing it in our daily lives. We are poor in love so that our every action is gripped by self-interest. If love fills our hearts, then all strings attached will vanish without a trace. Every action we do is natural and of course right because basically love is attached to everyone's lips, which becomes empty because it is mentioned and praised, given another meaning, and broken into pieces!
Where there is jealousy, hate, misery, anger, etc., love will not exist. Where there is the 'me' who is always after profit and inner and outer pleasures, love will never exist. Because for 'the me', love means pleasure for 'me' physically and spiritually in the form of peace, assurance, satisfaction, and enjoyment. So, once one of those being chased escapes, his love ends and turns into jealousy, anger and hatred!
In anger the Emperor led as many lines as he could muster, accompanied by a general loyal to him, a general skilled in war named Kok Cu It who commanded the line. This line then moved from Ling Pao. The two hostile lines met in the mountains and there was a very fierce war between Mount Tung Kuan. The war was terrible and desperate, where human corpses were piled up and scattered, human blood flooded the prairie.
Panglima Kok Cu It persisted in resisting after he ordered the guards to accompany the Emperor first to escape to the king's city. But in the end, due to being outnumbered by his troops, Tung Kuan fell into the hands of An Lu Shan's side. The surviving troops immediately withdrew to Ling Pao and made defenses at this place.
The emperor had already made his way back to Tianan where he was packing with a worried heart. Not long after, Ling Pao also fell and Commander Kok Cu It was forced to bring the rest of his troops back to the king's city. Seeing how strong and unstoppable An Lu Shan's movement was, this commander-in-chief suggested to the Emperor to flee to Secuan. The emperor gathered all his loyal aides and finally, at their insistence, he accepted the proposal.
The Emperor's party departed to the west. Those in the entourage, besides the Emperor and his family, of course included Yang Kui Hui's concubine, also the prime minister Yang Kok Tiong, the beautiful concubine's older brother and all his family, the Thaikam (Kebir people) who were loyal to the Emperor, and several high ranking courtiers. who are their accomplices. This large entourage was escorted by a special bodyguard and the Emperor's entourage left to flee which was done at night so that no one would know about it.
This hasty escape also reflects the character of these noble people. Apart from their families, also they brought as much of their possessions with them as possible! There is nothing else to think about except bringing their family and possessions so they forget that it is not possessions that are important to bring as provisions, but rations! They forgot this and were busy carrying whatever possessions they might carry.
