Chapter 201: Trying to Have the Best of Both Worlds
"He was defeated too." The news of Si Gu Jian's defeat spread throughout the world, and the news reached Ku He's retreat. After Ku He finished speaking, he continued to recuperate. His injuries were more serious than expected.

In the palace, Zhan Doudou and her son also knew about this. The empress dowager complained in her heart, what a little bastard. However, when she saw the look in Zhan Doudou's eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable. This resourceful daughter had bad intentions towards her.

The Qing Kingdom, after Emperor Qing learned about this, he could no longer maintain stability. How powerful is Shen Qingzhou?

Jiangnan.

"He is so strong, Uncle Wu Zhu. If he challenges you, can you win?" Fan Xian said to Wu Zhu.

"I don't know." Wu Zhu remained the same.

"Well, the most urgent task is to take back the three major districts." Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable. There were Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stationed in these three major districts, and he couldn't get in at all. He already had a plan for the agency matter. In fact, the three major districts just needed to cooperate, and they were quite cooperative.

However, in addition to the three major districts, he discovered a very interesting thing when he came to Jiangnan this time. The Four Famous Detectives had already left Jiangnan, but there were too few aristocratic families left behind.

These people from the Six Gates don't care about your background at all, they just do it directly. Fan Xian thinks this is a good thing.

Now, a new batch of people from the Six Gates have arrived, and this time they are more ruthless. They have checked the river transportation. It seems that not many of the Jiangnan families will be left.

In just over a month since he came here, he has come to know that the people from the Six Gates have enemies everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and have encountered countless assassination attempts, but they have managed to hold on.

He understood that Emperor Qing wanted to use him to target the Six Gates, relying on Wuzhu and the Supervisory Council. Chen Pingping and Wuzhu would help him, but as the Governor's Office of River Transport was defeated, Fan Xian knew that it would be too difficult to fight against the Six Gates.

The Six Gates were completely in a fight with most of the officials in the world, but in this way, they actually had the upper hand. This was what Fan Xian feared the most. They seemed to not care about the operation of the local government at all, and were not afraid of chaos.

There were waves of opposition from all over the world, and people attacked the Six Gates, but without exception, they all failed. It was too easy for an eighth-grade person to suppress a place.

……

Kyoto.

Half a year later, Shen Qingzhou and his party returned to Kyoto. The convoy had grown to its maximum size and went straight to Yunmeng Villa.

The Yunmeng Villa has changed a lot nowadays and has expanded a lot. With Shen Qingzhou defeating the three great masters, he has already shown signs of being the best in the world.

Shen Qingzhou just glanced at the Six Gates, and found that they had been completed. In the world of martial arts, some things were easy to do. The most important thing was that with the use of cement, the construction was much faster than before. It looked majestic and had the style of the Six Gates in the World.

The cement was obtained from the three major workshops. Shen Qingzhou gave an order and asked the craftsmen to use it to build buildings. It can be foreseen that the cement will be of great use in the future.

Before, perhaps because of concerns about interference from the temple, some things were not used on a large scale. Items like mirrors and soaps were fine, but things like cement and steam engines were only used within the three major workshops.

Nowadays, the temple messengers should be dead, and the temple no longer has the ability to interfere with reality.

Small buildings have already begun to be built in Grandmaster Valley. Due to technical issues, high-rise buildings cannot be constructed, but five- or six-story residential buildings are still possible.

This was Shen Qingzhou's order. The dormitory building chosen by the God Catcher was also prepared for the brothers' families. Many people brought their families here. It was close to the Six Gates Headquarters and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Station, and there was a Grand Master in charge. There was basically no safer place in the world than this. The brothers themselves were not afraid, but they were worried about their families. Thanks to the God Catcher's preparations for a long time, they were ready before fighting against the River Transport Office.

Both the Six Gates and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were rich, and many merchants began to station around them, making it very prosperous.

On the day the Queen had just returned to Yunmeng Villa, the Prince came to pay a visit to his mother that evening.

"Mother looks very well." When the prince saw the queen, he felt that she was different. Although she looked the same person, her complexion and mood were completely different.

"You've seen some scenery you haven't seen before, so it's normal to have some changes." The queen smiled, which surprised the prince. In his impression, his mother was serious and always depressed.

The Queen has changed a lot during this trip. She is no longer in the palace and does not have to follow so many rules. This trip allowed her to see thousands of mountains and rivers, which helped her not to be immersed in the pain of losing her loved ones and changed her mood.

There is another happy thing. Shen Qingzhou's strength has been proven. Three of the four famous masters in the world were defeated by him. Many people believe that Emperor Qing is not his opponent. His opponent may only be the inhuman Wu Zhu.

The current Queen is not as strict with the Crown Prince as before. She used to always want to train the Crown Prince to become the Emperor safely, but now, she basically doesn't think so anymore. It's enough for him to be safe and sound.

"I just returned today and you came to see me immediately. Is there something important?" The queen knew that her son came too hastily.

"Mother, in the past six months, the Six Gates have been investigating cases on a large scale and have been merciless to the Governor's Office of River Transport. Many officials of the imperial court have been dismissed, and officials in various places are in danger. Countless people have been involved in the investigation of the God of War and the Six Gates."

"Okay, you came to find me, is it because your followers were found out?" said the queen.

"I never paid attention to those who were slightly related to me, but now, more and more officials are involved, and many of them have secretly wanted to join me." The prince is now willing to talk about this with his mother.

"This is a matter of forming a clique for personal gain. Don't interfere. Let your followers cut off the ties quickly. I don't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Six Gates." said the Queen.

"Mother."

"Your Majesty is the Grand Master. You cannot escape the surveillance of the Supervisory Council by doing this. Even if they can escape this disaster, it is a big taboo to go to you without your Majesty. They just want to obtain the protection of the Grand Master." said the Queen.

"Your son knows about this, but..." The prince was a little hesitant. The people who defected this time already had great power.

"You have been deceived by the immediate benefits. As long as His Majesty is here, no matter how powerful you are, you are just like a moon in the mirror or a flower in the water, which will shatter at the first touch.

You have to know that they have probably already taken action against the Six Gates. If I let the God Catcher let them go, how will the people in the Six Gates view this?

You have to remember that the current Six Gates and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are our reliance." The queen can now clearly see her reliance.

The prince left and did not try to persuade his mother again. The queen was right and he could see it clearly. He just wanted the queen to take responsibility for the consequences so that he could have the best of both worlds.

I didn't see my cousin when I went up the mountain this time. He must have deliberately stayed away. In fact, he wanted to say these things in front of the Queen Mother. How could my cousin have the nerve to refuse? I can only say that Shen Qingzhou is also very smart.
