Chapter 145 The Storm is Coming (Subscription Request)

Fan Xian also learned about Liu Ruyu from Fan Ruoruo, but he didn't pay much attention to it at all, and it sounded super fake.

As for Fan Sizhe, he has already knelt down obediently. If he had not stolen the calligraphy, there would not be such rumors.

The current reason is that Liu Ruyu can make the Six Gates change their decision with just a piece of calligraphy. Many people with ulterior motives spread the news secretly. Fan Jian and Fan Xian both felt that something was wrong.

In Fan Xian's room, Fan Xian was also preparing. There was a grand banquet being held in Kyoto this time, and he was designated by Emperor Qing to attend. As an official of the Honglu Temple, he had to participate.

No one in the Fan Mansion was at ease that night. Fan Jian was in the study, thinking a lot. He knew what Emperor Qing wanted to do at this banquet. He, Emperor Qing, and Chen Pingping knew too much.

He could even guess that Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing would not do the same thing regarding Liu Ruyu's matter this time, but they definitely added fuel to the fire.

He didn't care much about this matter. He was worried about Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe. Shen Qingzhou's current power was too strong, with the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders and the Six Gates. How could such a young man like him gather so many geniuses?

Especially Fan Xian, Ye Qingmei's son, may have to face the grandmaster directly this time, which is too difficult.

Time passed quickly and the whole city was very lively during these days. Banquets were held outside the imperial city and the gates of the imperial city were opened. The deeper you went, the higher your status.

Kyoto has become the place that everyone in the world is paying attention to, and the Six Gates has also been in the limelight in the past few days.

Too many people can easily cause trouble, and there are also probing ones. The Six Gates have arrested too many people in the past few days, and even had conflicts with the Jianlu disciples of Dongyi City. This was a deliberate provocation by Dongyi City, but the Four Famous Detectives acted in cold blood and were defeated in front of everyone, which also let people know that there is no problem with the ranking on the list.

Even at Yunmeng Villa, many people wanted to explore it in the past few days, but they were unsuccessful because too many people were left behind by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

On this day, the sky was just getting dark, but the city of Kyoto was as bright as day, and all the lights were on. Emperor Qing also wanted to show his strength, so the Red Cavalry were guarding everywhere.

The gates of Yunmeng Villa were also wide open. Shen Qingzhou sat on a white dragon, with the queen's carriage next to him. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders were already following the carriage with a hundred men.

The queen closed her eyes to rest, and eighteen ninth-rank officials protected her. In the whole world, she was probably the only descendant who had such strength.

At the city gate, after Shen Qingzhou appeared, the Kyoto garrison did not check him. He was a noble man, and there were more and more people on the road. However, even so, the deterrent power of those eighteen ninth-grade masters was truly abnormal.

Arriving at the destination, Shen Qingzhou did not find it strange to see the scene which was much more grand than in movies and TV dramas. The Grand Master had arrived, so there had to be a show.

The Queen was also a little nervous. She hadn't seen Emperor Qing for many years, and he had enemies.

"Greetings, mother. Cousin, I'll take you to the banquet." As soon as he entered the imperial city, the prince was already waiting. This was a chance for him to approach Shen Qingzhou and the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders openly without being considered as trying to win over others.

Logically speaking, the queen should appear directly from the palace, but everyone knew that she had been visiting her relatives during this period, so it was reasonable for her to come back. However, she still had to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

That’s right, the Queen Mother has stepped in this time. It can only be said that Emperor Qing has made a grand scene. This is also the first time that Shen Qingzhou has seen so many female relatives. In this world, women can show up, which is better than the real feudal society, but it is also limited.

"Greetings to Duke Wu, greetings to the queen, and the prince." Before they had taken two steps, the God of Detectives appeared with the Four Famous Detectives.

Shen Qingzhou nodded. The prince was actually very enthusiastic. He usually didn't have the opportunity to interact with this group of people, and Emperor Qing would easily be wary of him.

When the Queen went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother, the Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders followed her all the time. The line was full and everyone knew that they were her guards, because they had been assassinated before, so everyone had to understand.

The prince's eyes rolled around. If the queen returned to the palace and Shen Qingzhou arranged eighteen riders for protection, then he could win her over openly. After all, the eighteen riders were just cavalrymen, not high-ranking officials. When they arrived at the palace, the hall was filled with long tables with wine on them. There was an aisle in the middle, and the fewer tables there were as they went forward.

Shen Qingzhou is on the right, already very far in the front. He is a duke, the highest title, and a second-rank official, so he has the qualifications.

Many people have arrived. Shen Qingzhou saw the Fan family. Fan Jian and Fan Xian were in the front, and at the table in the back were Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo.

I also saw the eldest princess opposite me, and some of her family members behind the veil. After all, they were female relatives, and if they didn't want to show their faces, they could cover them with white veils.
Seeing Shen Qingzhou appear, many people had curiosity in their eyes. This was the God of Killing, he looked quite mighty, and behind him were the God of Capture and the Four Famous Detectives.

Qin Ye was dozing off. His desk was just above Shen Qingzhou. After Shen Qingzhou sat down, he also closed his eyes to rest.

There were more and more people, but unexpectedly, there was not much noise inside the palace.

"Have you met Duke Wu?" Shen Qingzhou opened his eyes. Fan Xian was quite thick-skinned. He usually didn't meet him, but today he finally got the chance.

But Fan Xian was embarrassed. Shen Qingzhou glanced at him and then closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him. Then, a silver bell-like laughter rang out. It was the eldest princess.

Many people know that the princess and Fan Xian don't get along. It's a matter of financial power in the inner treasury. The princess looked at Fan Xian and felt happy. Today is the day when you will be ruined.

And Shen Qingzhou, did he listen to Shen Zhong's words?

Suddenly, Shen Qingzhou opened his eyes and looked up. An old man in a green robe, with an immortal look and some white hair, but not looking very old, appeared on a table.

At the same time, a man in a black robe behind Fan Ruoruo's desk was also listening.

"Meet the Grand Master." Many people have also gradually discovered that it is normal for the Grand Master to appear and disappear mysteriously.

"The Queen Mother is here." The voice of Eunuch Hou came, and the royal family members arrived.

Shen Qingzhou looked at the queen. Behind the white veil were the female relatives. How could a royal woman show up in public so easily? The eldest princess was special. Shen Qingzhou also saw Lin Wan'er, and Fan Xian saw her too.

"Please invite Grand Master Ku He and Si Gu Jian to take their seats." Eunuch Hou suddenly said.

Then, people suddenly appeared at the two empty desks opposite Ye Liuyun. Shen Qingzhou thought about it and thought, it's okay, since his lightness skills are not bad, he can fight.

"They are here too." Many officials couldn't help but start communicating. As for outside, everyone was already stunned that the four great masters had gathered in Kyoto.

Then Emperor Qing appeared.

"Mr. Fan Xielü." The banquet started without any announcement, but many people knew that something was going to happen. Emperor Qing called Fan Xian, who was wolfing down his food at the moment. The protagonist always likes to be unique.

Everyone had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
