Chapter 154: Utter Disrespect
After all, Lin Fengmian was an orphan, and there was nowhere in this vast world for him to go.
Gan Luo noticed that Lin Fengmian was lost in thought and was a little puzzled. He couldn't help but walk up to Lin Fengmian and said, "I feel that something is wrong with you and General Su after you met. Could it be that General Su told you something? You might as well tell me."
"Your Highness is overthinking it. General Su didn't say anything. He just had a martial arts match with me. Compared to before, General Su's martial arts skills have improved a lot. It seems that General Su has been practicing diligently these past few days."
Meanwhile, in the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister was shocked to learn that he would be heading south in ten days.
“Father, shouldn’t this matter of heading south be the king’s business? Why has it been arranged for you to handle this matter? I don’t understand sometimes. Besides, you’re already old and frail, so heading south will definitely have a negative impact on your health.”
Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu arrived at the palace and went directly to see Gan Yanling. Gan Yanling was already waiting for Prime Minister Xu in the main hall, knowing that once the matter was told to Prime Minister Xu, he would come to the palace immediately.
"I know what you're thinking right now. What I want to tell you is that tomorrow is the day the envoy from the neighboring country arrives. The envoy will stay here for more than half a month. During this half month, I cannot leave the capital. Looking around, Uncle, your official position is the highest, so I want you to go south."
Prime Minister Xu was surprised that Gan Yanling would call him Imperial Uncle. This was the first time in all these years that he had heard Gan Yanling call him Imperial Uncle.
Gan Yanling's words were all true, but once they left the capital and headed south, it was unknown how long it would take, and Prime Minister Xu would have no control over what was happening in the capital. Furthermore, it was unknown what Gan Luo would do next.
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me, and I will use them."
In fact, Prime Minister Xu was particularly eager to know who had mentioned the matter of sending him south, which led Gan Yanling to suddenly recall it.
Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu returned home and immediately ordered his secret guards to investigate who Gan Yanling had met. Unexpectedly, the secret guards completed the investigation in no time.
"Her Highness the Princess met with His Majesty. As for what they discussed, I cannot find out. However, the matter of sending you south, sir, occurred after Her Highness left the palace..."
Although the guard didn't finish speaking, Prime Minister Xu already had a good idea. He immediately shoved all the teacups on the table onto the ground. All of this was Gan Luo's idea.
"I never expected that Gan Luo would want to control everything with one hand. This is truly shocking."
How could Prime Minister Xu possibly let Gan Luo off so easily?
Meanwhile, the Minister of War had already come to find Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, I have successfully secured a minor official position for Young Master Shangguan as you instructed. Will Your Highness fulfill your promise and allow my son..."
"I will naturally keep my promise. Lord Shangguan, there's no need to say more. I have already released the person."
When the Minister of War saw Kong Hong, he immediately went up to him, looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Kong Hong was safe and sound.
Kong Hong had no idea what kind of bet his father and Gan Luo had made. At that moment, Kong Hong was extremely worried and looked up at his father.
"Father, what kind of deal did you make with Her Highness the Princess?"
"Don't worry, Father and Her Highness the Princess didn't make any kind of deal."
But Kong Hong didn't believe it at all. He walked directly up to Gan Luo, his face dark and his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "You poisonous woman, what kind of deal did you and my father make?"
Upon hearing the words "poisonous woman," Gan Luo looked up at Kong Hong, while the Minister of War knelt down with a thud, making Kong Hong kneel as well.
"Has Young Master Kong gone mad from being imprisoned? How could he call me a poisonous woman here?"
"You dare to be so audacious as to insult the princess here."
Lin Fengmian immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Kong Hong, but Kong Hong was not afraid at all.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, Kong Hong! Quickly kowtow to Your Highness and admit your mistake."
"Young Master Kong, don't you think I'm a poisonous woman? Well then, I'll make sure you two never return today, just to live up to the name of a poisonous woman. What do you two think?"
The Minister of War had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Others might not have believed it, but Gan Luo's words were unbelievable. Gan Luo was incomparable to others.
"If you've got the guts, then kill me!"
Kong Hong stood up and provoked Gan Luo. Gan Luo snatched the sword from Lin Fengmian's hand and held it to Kong Hong's neck.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you? I'm only sparing you out of respect for the Minister of War, yet you're so ungrateful." Gan Luo said coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent. From this murderous intent, Kong Hong could tell that Gan Luo truly wanted to kill him.
The Minister of War was extremely worried, fearing that the sword in Gan Luo's hand might not be discerning, otherwise Kong Hong would really be nothing but a corpse. The Minister of War did not want to bury his son.
"Kong Hong, Her Highness the Princess really didn't make things difficult for Father. You should quickly apologize to Her Highness here, kowtow and admit your mistake, and ask Her Highness to forgive you."
"My household has no need for disobedient people. Since Young Master Kong has done such a thing, then Young Master Kong may leave."
Gan Luo then informed Young Master Kong that from now on, this person would never set foot in the Princess's residence again, and whatever happened to him, the Princess's residence would no longer offer him any assistance.
The Minister of War never expected his son to have become like this during this period. Could it be, as Gan Luo said, that he has gone mad?
The news spread quickly and became the talk of the town. Upon learning of this, the Prime Minister decided to pay a visit to the Minister of War.
After all, this matter was orchestrated by the son of the Minister of War, so if possible, they would like to win over the Minister of War to their side.
