Chapter 424: Encirclement
Chapter 424: Encirclement
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying that treating the symptoms doesn't cure the root cause. I think we need to find the root cause and deal with it before we can get rid of the root of the problem."
The local people around them dared not utter a word and remained silently in place, fearing that Gan Luo would beat them up soon. They didn't want to be beaten up; they just wanted to live.
"However, this year is indeed somewhat different from before. It was completely different before, but this year it is..."
Suddenly, a large number of men in black appeared around them. As soon as they arrived, they surrounded Gan Luo and his companions. Gan Luo then pulled back the curtain of the carriage window and saw that there were so many people outside. These masked men in black were holding swords.
"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming here? I'll give you a piece of advice: don't be ungrateful here, or I'll show you what it means to have no way back."
They were definitely in a state of complete fearlessness at this moment. However, Gan Luo, who was being sarcastic, was very displeased by their mockery. He immediately drew his sword and attacked them, but they were surprised by how fast they were attacking.
Gan Luo, on the contrary, was a little overwhelmed at this moment. Although he was struggling, he was still able to resist. Gan Luo was particularly eager to know their purpose in coming here and who had sent them.
Gan Luo noticed the eagle pattern on their bodies again and suddenly remembered that Lin Ruohua had told him about it before.
The group that attacked Lin Ruohua earlier also had eagles on their bodies, and this group also has eagles on their bodies, which means that they are all in the same group. Otherwise, how could they have the same pattern?
One of them planned to ambush Gan Luo here, but before Gan Luo could react, Xin Ruyu descended from the sky and blocked the attack without hesitation.
The sword had already pierced Xin Ruyu's back.
Xin Ruyu, enduring the pain, drew the sword without hesitation and broke it in two, successfully eliminating the man in black before him.
At this moment, Gan Luo saw that Xin Ruyu had come here, and was even injured while saving him, which Gan Luo found somewhat unbelievable.
"Why did you suddenly come here? It's quite puzzling to me. What is your purpose in coming here?"
"The reason I've come here is simply because I've heard about these things and wanted to see Your Highness. Anyway, there's no need for you to be so wary of me at this time."
Xin Ruyu was also particularly curious about who was behind Gan Luo's death, so he pondered this question. At this moment, Xin Ruyu looked around and indeed found a person hiding in front of him, acting suspiciously, as if observing the battle situation.
Xin Ruyu then rushed over and grabbed the man. Unexpectedly, the man immediately attacked. Xin Ruyu was extremely strong, and in the end, he was no match for him, while the man escaped.
Gan Luo also wanted to know who was constantly opposing him in this place. After thinking about it, Gan Luo still couldn't figure out who wanted to kill him. It seemed that he hadn't offended anyone, yet it also seemed that he had offended everyone.
Gan Luo noticed something else: there was no movement behind him. When he finally lifted the black curtain, he found that the official had been killed and was lying on the ground.
At this moment, everyone must have started screaming. The teachers around them covered their mouths, and some even stood by, because this official had died a very tragic death. He had been stabbed more than a dozen times.
"I realized that their target was not me, but the group of officials behind me. It seems that they ordered this official to assassinate my people. It seems that this official is just a scapegoat."
It has to be said that this official is really in a rather miserable state.
"Your Highness, what do you think is the most feasible course of action next?"
They were all here, naturally, constantly thinking about these issues.
Gan Luo had already instructed Lin Fengmian to dispose of the body first.
Gan Luo then went to the Shadow Hall and sensed that there was definitely a mole within it; otherwise, why would their plans have been repeatedly discovered by others?
"One thing I want to know is whether there has been any newcomer in the Shadow Hall recently. If so, please tell me directly. I would like to meet this newcomer myself."
At this moment, Gan Luo naturally focused his attention on the person next to him. The people next to him nodded slightly and then handed Gan Luo the list of newcomers. Gan Luo then carefully examined the list.
After looking around for a long time and still not seeing anything wrong with this place, Gan Luo fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's residence...
Prime Minister Xu, having already learned of these events, felt that Gan Luo had only himself to blame, and that this was ultimately retribution.
Prime Minister Xu was also particularly eager to know how Gan Luo would resolve these issues in the coming days.
There must be a lot of rumors and gossip circulating on this street.
Prime Minister Xu was also particularly curious to know whether Gan Luo could withstand all these rumors and gossip on his own.
He was just sitting there, looking at the layout diagram on the table.
