Chapter 144 The Curtain Opens (Subscription Request)

Why? Of course it is to embarrass Shen Qingzhou. The Grand Master of the Ye family and the Grand Master Hong Sixiang who is generally believed to be the Grand Master will both appear.

It's now rumored in Kyoto that the Six Gates will be ranking the winners at the banquet. If you don't make the list then, many people will be disappointed. But it doesn't matter. This is to dampen Shen Qingzhou's enthusiasm first.

Then he handed the knife to other people. This world didn't know about the Song Dynasty's policy of releasing military power with a cup of wine, but Emperor Qing could do the same thing. The power of the Six Gates had to be handed over.

It is very interesting to know why the family members were called here. In fact, this was done just for Liu Ruyu. Emperor Qing did not believe some things, and many people did not believe them either. However, when the parties involved were present and someone mentioned this matter, many people did not understand the inside story and would have wild thoughts.

This is also to suppress Shen Qingzhou, so that he can't act recklessly and ruin his reputation. Shen Qingzhou hasn't thought this through yet.

Because even though he has been in this world for many years, his way of thinking has not completely changed. It's just a scandal, so what should I be afraid of?

That night.

"Who dares to break into Yunmeng Mountain Villa?" Suddenly there was a loud shout, which was heard by many people from all parties who were monitoring at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain.

"Don't let the thief who assassinated the queen get away." After a while, two people in night clothes suddenly appeared, and after another, a group of people chased them from behind.

"Assassinating the queen." Many people were confused. Why would there be any point in assassinating the queen?

Yunmeng Villa, the queen's bedroom. No, this bedroom can be compared to her bedroom in the imperial palace, but they are afraid that she will get used to her bed.

The palace maids were kneeling on the ground, looking at the frightened queen, and they themselves were also terrified.

"Where is Zhou'er?" The queen spoke with a slight tremor in her voice. The assassination reminded her of what she had always been afraid of.

She had been drinking in the palace to drown her sorrows, partly to numb herself, and partly because she was afraid that one day Chen Pingping and Fan Xian would come into the palace to kill her and avenge Ye Qingmei. She was a little scared when she encountered the assassination today. Who sent them? Her fears of many years suddenly came true.

"Don't be afraid, aunt. Just wait." Shen Qingzhou appeared.

"Greetings, young master." A group of palace maids retreated.

"Qingzhou, where is the assassin?" The queen grabbed Shen Qingzhou's arm, and Shen Qingzhou could feel her trembling hand.

"Aunt, there is no assassin, they are my people." Seeing the queen's surprise, Shen Qingzhou directly covered her mouth.

The queen subconsciously began to resist, thinking that Qingzhou was done pretending, until she heard the next words, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Aunt, in order to have someone protect you reasonably, I set up a trap. You palace maids may not all believe it, so in order to keep it secret, I did not tell you about this in advance." Shen Qingzhou explained.

That's right, he arranged the assassination, otherwise, except for the grandmaster, who could get within a hundred meters of the Queen? Shen Qingzhou was only about a hundred meters away.

"Why did you do this?" The queen felt relieved.

"Aunt, it is better to strike first. Then, at the banquet, I will have a reasonable excuse for the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders to protect you." Shen Qingzhou said.

"With the Grand Master here, who dares to assassinate me?" The Queen felt that Shen Qingzhou was making a fuss out of nothing. This banquet might be the safest one, with so many high-ranking officials present. Who would dare to take action?

"Aunt, it's better to be careful about everything." Shen Qingzhou had not revealed that he wanted to be the cricket grandmaster and was in the top ten of the ranking. Now, no one knew about it except himself, but it would be exposed soon.

Shen Qingzhou thought about asking the queen not to go, but the Grand Master had already come to Kyoto. He thought about it and realized that being by his side was the safest place. "Aunt, rest at ease." Shen Qingzhou said as he was about to leave. He felt something was wrong. The queen was wearing a white pajamas, which was not leaking at all, but in a feudal society, it was not appropriate for her to be alone with him at night.

Watching Shen Qingzhou leave, the queen's panic eased, and Shen Qingzhou's energy and blood made her feel a lot more at ease.

The next day, the news that the queen had been assassinated began to spread among the upper class in Kyoto, and no one knew what had happened.

The Queen received a letter from the palace, and replied that everything was fine. The Queen was actually quite relieved. She thought about it and realized that although the assassination was fake, if it was true, Yunmeng Villa would be safer than the palace.

The more than 300 eighth-grade warriors in Yunmeng Villa really surprised her. She had already believed it. There was no need for Shen Qingzhou to lie to her. The most important thing was that the queen had once ridden a white dragon to see the martial arts of this group of people, but she did not expose it, and the palace maid did not say anything either.

She was also happy in her heart. With Shen Qingzhou's support, her son's position as crown prince was stable.

Next, envoys from Northern Qi and Dongyi City came to Kyoto one after another. Especially from Northern Qi, when they knew that the person coming was the great writer Zhuang Mohan, a group of scholars gathered to greet him, crying and shouting that they wanted to become his disciples.

Although the Six Gates said that Zhuang Mohan was the brother of the big villain Sean, and Zhuang Mohan seemed to agree, the students of the world were too protective of Zhuang Mohan, and it wasn't him who killed anyone.

That night, a strange thing happened. Zhuang Mohan disappeared for a while, and the Supervisory Office didn't know where he went. He appeared again the next day.

As the days passed, the whole capital became busy. His Majesty ordered a banquet to be held to celebrate the success of Duke Wu and to welcome the envoys from Northern Qi and Dongyi to entertain the people.

The most important point is that there are rumors that Grand Master Ye Liuyun might accept a disciple at the banquet, which has led many officials of all ranks in Kyoto to prepare to bring their families to participate.

At the same time, the Six Gates officially announced that the remaining people on the ranking list would be made public at the banquet. This was also a hot topic and the common people were very concerned about this. As for the top leaders, they wanted to laugh at the Six Gates. It was a bit awkward to say who was number one in the world with a grandmaster present.

Two days later, a very panicking incident happened in Kyoto. Si Gu Jian came from the direction of Cangzhou. Yun Zhilan led the three disciples of Dongyi Jianlu and Wang Shisanlang to greet him at the city gate. Si Gu Jian entered Kyoto.

And then, before anyone could react, the same thing happened. Haitang Duoduo from Northern Qi led a delegation from Northern Qi to welcome Grandmaster Ku He into the city.

This is the grandmaster of the enemy country. If Hong Sixiang and Ye Liuyun had not been there, many people would have already run away.

However, soon the Northern Qi, Dongyi envoys and the Nanqing Honglu Temple jointly issued a statement that the Grand Master would not take action in Kyoto. This was because the Grand Master represented the respective forces, which made everyone feel a lot more at ease.

Si Gu Jian and Ku He are not stupid. There is no benefit in taking action. They come here to know some secret information.

At Yunmeng Villa, Shen Qingzhou sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. The banquet was about to begin. This banquet should be very surprising.

Fan Mansion.

"Who spread this information? When did I write it? No, where is Fan Sizhe? Come here." Liu Ruyu heard the maid's intermittent narration and was furious. Fan Sizhe had already run away.

"Madam." Fan Jian came.

"Master, do you know what people say about me?" Liu Ruyu was anxious and annoyed. In feudal society, having a bad reputation can kill people.

"Madam, I already knew about this, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to think too much. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter." Fan Jian naturally would not believe what others said. He knew that someone had caught Fan Sizhe stealing the calligraphy and used it as a pretext.
