Chapter 259: Traveling to Jiangnan
Chapter 259: Traveling to Jiangnan
"How could I possibly stoop to their level? You all don't need to overthink this. To me, they are nothing more than a bunch of non-existent people."
Gan Luo and General Su chatted for a while longer before Gan Luo finally left.
Gan Luo came to find Lin Fengmian and asked Lin Fengmian to prepare some things for him. The things to prepare now naturally concerned his trip south.
“Your Highness, are you really going south now? If you go south now, it will take a month to travel back and forth. Actually, I don’t think it’s necessary. You can go in person, or you can entrust it to someone you trust, such as Young Master Shangguan.”
"Now that Young Master Shangguan is about to marry the Governor's daughter, how can I possibly disturb their happy occasion? Don't you agree? If I were to interfere like this, wouldn't I be all alone?"
Lin Fengmian felt that what Gan Luo said made a lot of sense, and that was indeed the case. However, Lin Fengmian wondered what would happen if Gan Luo went alone and encountered some problems on the way.
Meanwhile, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were plotting something. They were now on the same path, since their common enemy was Gan Luo.
"I never expected that we would be sitting here so peacefully discussing this matter. It's quite surprising to me. But since Gan Luo is going to Jiangnan, I have some ideas. My idea is to send someone to assassinate Gan Luo along the way."
Upon hearing the Grand Tutor's words, the Prime Minister immediately agreed, finding the doctor's words quite reasonable. Indeed, it was possible to send men along the route to intercept and assassinate Gan Luo.
Anyway, it's impossible to know who made the decision by then. The prime minister actually thought the Grand Tutor was quite clever, so he praised him here.
"There's one more thing. I think Xu Jinxin and Zhao Wuji could get married now. After all, that would make us both stronger, wouldn't it?"
Upon hearing the words "marriage alliance," the prime minister was actually somewhat surprised.
"So, I think it's a bit early to discuss this now. Let's wait a while and see what happens. What do you think? After all, some things need to be done slowly. Being too hasty will only backfire. What do you think, Grand Tutor?"
The Grand Tutor suddenly heard what the Prime Minister said and ultimately agreed with him, deciding to wait there a little longer.
After the two finished their conversation, he turned his attention back to the Prime Minister. "So, why don't we go find some capable people? What do you think of the people in the Shadow Hall?"
Prime Minister Xu had already told Grand Tutor Zhao that the people in the Shadow Hall were indeed quite good, but unfortunately, they all belonged to Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian, so they couldn't go looking for them.
More importantly, they had cooperated with the people in the Shadow Hall so many times before this, but now their identities had been exposed. How could they possibly tolerate this?
"It's getting late, so why don't you go back and rest for a bit? Everything takes time."
They must have all left this place to go back and rest. At this moment, Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo had a bad feeling. Gan Luo then went to the Shadow Hall again.
As soon as Gan Luo arrived, he went straight to visit the former leader of the Shadow Hall.
However, they never expected that the former hall master's health condition would become more and more serious. At this moment, Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian both felt a bit of a headache, completely unaware that their health condition was getting worse and worse.
"Is there really no way for this miracle doctor to cure your illness?"
Gan Luo finally uttered those words.
The Shadow Hall Master had already told Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo that even sound is not omnipotent, and the Divine Doctor was doing everything he could to save him. Now, life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven.
Suddenly, the Shadow Hall Master started coughing violently, and unexpectedly, he even coughed up blood.
When Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian saw this scene, they were both utterly terrified.
Finally, the two arrived. The divine doctor outside had already told Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo that the pond master's physical condition was already at its limit, and he was only hanging on by a thread.
Lin Ruohua rushed back to the Shadow Hall. Upon arrival, he went directly to see the Shadow Hall Master, only to find that the Master's health was much worse than before.
At this moment, Lin Ruohua was very worried. She didn't actually want the Shadow Hall to do anything, she just hoped that the Shadow Hall Master would look at her.
But for some reason, at that moment, she felt a great distance between them. At that moment, An Yingtang couldn't help but reach out and pat Lin Ruohua's head. "Don't be too sad, okay? Some things are just things of the past. If you're too sad, I'll worry, and I don't want you to cry here."
Lin Ruohua looked at the Shadow Hall Master and hugged him tightly. In that instant, she felt a fear that the Shadow Hall would eventually leave. The Shadow Hall Master then talked to Lin Ruohua about many things and couldn't help but ask her, "Would you be happy that Yang Qing didn't pass the position of the Love Hall to you, but instead handed it to Lin Fengmian?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruohua shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about these positions at all. All she cared about was that the hall master was happy. What did the others have to do with her?
Lin Ruohua then focused her attention on the leader of the Shadow Hall, hoping that he was doing well.
But for some reason, at that moment she suddenly felt that the leader of the Shadow Hall would leave her in the next few days. She was extremely sad, and more importantly, it felt like her heart was being torn apart.
"By the way, Mother is a little sleepy. Mother wants to sleep here for a while. Why don't you go out and have a chat with His Highness?"
Then the Shadow Hall Master closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Ruohua was alone here, her mind filled with many thoughts.
