After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 374: The Banquet



Chapter 374: The Banquet

Wait until the family dinner begins.

The palace maids around them had all withdrawn, leaving only Gan Luo and his group in the area. Gan Luo kept his eyes on Gan Yanling, and then, lost in thought, he couldn't help but ask Gan Yanling a question.

"I have something I want to ask you. As you face so many displaced people ahead, what are your thoughts? I really want to know."

"I haven't decided on this matter yet."

In fact, he had never been able to figure out how to do this kind of thing well, even though he was indeed a monarch.

However, at this moment, he felt that he was not a qualified monarch, and he must have felt a little helpless. Then, Gan Yanling turned his attention to Gan Luo. Gan Luo was about to pick up a piece of food from the table and take a bite, but in the end, he put the food down.

Such actions naturally surprised the king. Gan Yanling then picked up some food from the table and began to eat. Gan Luo saw him eating but did not say anything.

"If I were to offer my opinions on these matters concerning the court, it is possible that these people would then retort that I am merely a woman and how could I possibly be involved in these affairs of the court."

It was at this moment that they immediately turned their attention back to Gan Luo.

For some reason, Gan Yanling suddenly felt that what Gan Luo said made a lot of sense, and these words sounded so familiar, as if they were the same words spoken by the officials before him.

"I actually have another matter to tell you. As for how you, the common people, should handle these matters, that is entirely up to you. However, I hope you can understand one thing: if you cannot quickly resolve these issues, you will lose the support of the people."

Gan Luo left the palace without even eating. Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo went outside and passed by a small wonton shop on the street.

At this moment, Gan Luo naturally felt a little hungry. Lin Fengmian was a little surprised when he saw Gan Luo walking in the direction of the little wonton. He didn't expect Gan Luo to go and eat the little wonton.

"Your Highness, are you sure you really want to eat these street vendor wontons? But these things don't look very appealing..."

"Is there a problem with me eating these things? Or is there something wrong with you? If so, you might as well tell me directly."

At this time, Lin Fengmian was not really interested in Gan Luo eating these things.

Because these things didn't look very clean or hygienic, but to everyone's surprise, Gan Luo simply said, "If ordinary people can eat them, why can't I?"

This statement had clearly shut Lin Fengmian up, so he remained silent and stayed there quietly.

What she said does make some sense; it is indeed the case.

Gan Luo ordered two bowls of wontons, one for Lin Fengmian and one for himself. The two of them ate together on the street. The shop owner in front of them saw Gan Luo and his companion's clothes and naturally understood that they were not ordinary people.

Gan Luo then noticed that this little shop also had pastries, and naturally, he couldn't resist buying some.

"Actually, I want to know at this time."

Gan Luo was only halfway through his sentence when he hurriedly changed his words.

Gan Luo then chatted with the vendor for a while. Actually, this business was relatively difficult because it was freezing cold and there were very few customers.

Before leaving, Gan Luo left behind some money, since he wasn't exactly rich and was short of cash. When Gan Luo returned to the Princess's residence, he saw that there were people there.

When Gan Luo saw that there were people here, he was definitely a little surprised and incredulous.

It was at this moment that Gan Luo turned his attention to these people and began to observe them.

"Why have you been standing here all this time? Could something have happened? If you have something to tell me, you might as well just tell me directly."

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but we have already investigated and found out who wanted to deal with Lord Shangguan. We never expected that this person would be a third-rank official in the court, and it seems that this official intends to kill Lord Shangguan."

Gan Luo never expected that this official would actually plan to kill Shangguan Mufeng, and he didn't know who gave him the courage.

Since this official intended to kill Shangguan Mufeng, how could Gan Luo possibly let him go?

"I never imagined this person would be so audacious as to attempt to assassinate Shangguan Mufeng. In that case, you must secretly protect Shangguan Mufeng and those people from before. Bring them all before me."

Gan Luo never imagined that they would target him at this time. It seems that Gan Luo no longer needs to endure anything and can show his skills here.

After all, there are always some people who are testing Gan Luo's patience. Since that's the case, Gan Luo is bound to teach these people a lesson.

Otherwise, they would have already forgotten Gan Luo's ruthlessness, wouldn't they?

A smile crept onto Gan Luo's lips, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. Lin Fengmian watched from the sidelines, knowing that Gan Luo was about to deal with this official. It seemed that the official would likely face the extermination of his entire clan, as he had successfully provoked Gan Luo.

"Forget it, you should hurry back to the Shangguan residence now, lest Young Master Shangguan encounter this danger later."

The last group of people must have disappeared in the blink of an eye.
