Chapter 134 Luxury (Subscription Request)

The ranking list is famous all over the world, because since the ranking list appeared, many people have challenged it for fame, but no one has really been defeated.

Among them, there is a special exception, Fan Xian. His upper limit is high and his lower limit is low. The Six Gates have said that his martial arts skills are not good. He is ranked around 50th, but he is ranked 41st. Too many people challenge him, which is very annoying.

But you know what, after being challenged so many times, he really wants to improve. He also knows that he has to improve as soon as possible. Now that the ranking list has just appeared, the serious masters are still waiting and watching.

For example, the people behind him included members of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Six Gates. They all knew that his family had a bad relationship with Shen Qingzhou. He even suspected that if it weren't for the Six Gates ranking and the list was not yet complete and difficult to destroy, this group of people would have challenged him.

In Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian also learned about Wang Shisanlang's evaluation and left Dongyi City to go to Kyoto. His disciple went to Qing Kingdom because of the ranking issue, and he still valued Wang Shisanlang very much.

He had the same idea as Ku He. Wang Shisanlang was not in danger for the time being, but that was because everyone knew that the Grand Master was behind him. However, if the Grand Master did not show up, someone might become interested.

At the same time, an old man was wandering around outside Kyoto. His name was Ye Liuyun. He liked traveling around the world. He came back this time for one reason: some time ago, someone asked him to come back, and it was hard to repay a favor. It was the eldest princess.

After the eldest princess learned from Shen Qingzhou that he was the person behind the Ming family, she had already gone to find the grandmaster. Shen Qingzhou's performance was too terrifying, and she was also afraid that the other party would just come in and cause trouble for her. Although she had the grandmaster Hong Sixiang, what if he didn't protect her?

Fortunately, after Shen Qingzhou returned to Kyoto, he acted as if he had not heard Shen Zhong's words and did not cause any trouble.

It can only be said that Shen Qingzhou did not plan to look for it now. The most urgent task was to make the ranking list. This was the key to returning to reality, and it was also to protect the queen and be able to do so.

When the Queen came to visit her parents this time, probably no one would have thought that once she left the palace, she would basically never return. Not even Emperor Qing could have thought of it. There was no reason for anyone to think of what Shen Qingzhou was going to do.

He has been staying outside Kyoto these past few days. Talents from all over the world who are coming to the capital have been selected long ago by various Six Gates forces. Those who have his military power will definitely not have any selfish motives towards him, so they can just bring them here. He wants to fill the three thousand vacancies at once.

The list was made three times, nearly a month later, and the number of people who had increased his military strength had increased by 700, and most of them were captured by the former Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and trained.

Because too many people were mobilized for the manor, and merchants from all sides came to Kyoto, and the military personnel were loyal to Shen Qingzhou, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been trained, but the news did not reach the ears of the royal family.

Of course, it was also because the training place was a bit far away, and Shen Qingzhou relied on Bailong and his extremely fast speed. He could go to the manor during the day and the barracks at night without any delay.

As more and more people came, especially after the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders passed down their combined attack techniques, because the body-building methods had the same origin, they could master them very quickly. They could not achieve the effect and lethality of the huge Fang Tian Hua Ji of the Eighteen Riders, but Shen Qingzhou knew that the combined efforts of eighteen ordinary Tiger and Leopard Riders could definitely match three ninth-grade ones.

The seven tiger guards can rival the ninth rank, and the combined attack technique of the eighteen tiger and leopard riders may have some technical gaps, but the fact that their techniques have the same origin is too abnormal. The three ninth ranks are no longer a match, they can be defeated. If this gets out, it will scare a lot of people to death.

Moreover, Shen Qingzhou had already realized that he could serve as the core and directly coordinate their combined attack skills. When there were eighteen riders, the killing power of Fang Tian Hua Ji was just so-so. After all, he himself was too abnormal.

But as the number of people increased, he found that it was really useful, and he really wanted to try whether the fully equipped Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could give him a bonus.

Time passed quickly. Si Gu Jian and Ku He from Dongyi City were on their way. It was too late when they found out. They were grandmasters and could rely on their true Qi to increase their speed, but it was not that abnormal for them to really fly over.

It's time to sort the rankings again, but today's ranking is a bit special, it's much later than usual.

“When will the list be released? Wasn’t it always around this time before?” someone asked.

"Today is different. The Duke of Wu is visiting his parents. I, the Six Gates Constable, have ordered that the way the list is announced will be changed so that the Duke of Wu can hear the rankings first. Those who are not on the list today are all among the top constables of the Six Gates. Please be patient. When they read out a list, we will publish one."

"Duke Wu is too domineering, huh." Someone directly covered the speaker's mouth. How could he dare to say anything? This is the Yellow Crane Tower. Didn't he see that someone was watching him?

"Sir, how is the list published?" someone asked.

"From the Imperial City to the gate of Yunmeng Mountain Villa outside the city, anyone who is interested can go and listen for themselves. But I would like to remind you that this time, my Six Gates Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will escort Elder Wu Guogong, and Duke Wu Guogong will be guarding the place personally."

"Yunmeng Villa, I know that it's the villa that Duke Wu spent nearly five million taels of silver to build."

"How do you know five million taels? I heard three million taels yesterday."

"Ahem, I have a friend who cooks there, he heard it from someone, but it's probably not accurate, how much it cost, who knows, five million taels I think is a joke."

In fact, I am not kidding at all. The amount of money spent during this period would be shocking if it were made public: 4.5 million taels.

However, for Shen Qingzhou today, money is just a number. Not to mention the small treasury that he has basically never touched, the Six Gates are equivalent to his private property. It's just that he has been too busy recently, and Emperor Qing has no time to find a way to take it back. But he has already made up his mind that the Six Gates cannot be in his hands.

"Go and have a look."

"Don't go. I just came from Central Street. I was wondering why there are no small vendors on Central Street today. It's especially clean and no one is watching. So this is what happened."

"This is not good. When it comes to street clearing, even if the Second Prince only cleared a small area, he cleared the entire Central Street."

"Just shut up! They volunteered to stop working. They still get paid even if they don't open the stall. They also get paid for cleaning. I regret it so much. I missed out on half a month's income."

"Everyone, you can go to Central Avenue now, but I remind you not to cross my six-door defense line, otherwise you will be considered an assassin."

A bunch of people rushed to Central Street, and then, they were dazzled by the light.

"What is this? Laying carpets on the streets. This is a bit too extravagant."

Not only has the Central Avenue become super clean, but the ground is also covered with black carpet made up of pieces of stitching together, which looks extremely luxurious.

In the feudal era, laying carpets on the streets was much more difficult than laying red carpets outside in reality.

This requires money and ability, otherwise if you do this, you may wonder if someone is plotting against you.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingzhou was not afraid.
