Chapter 2545 Mutual affection!

These beggars had no idea who Yang Xian was. They were just doing the job for money, so of course they had to do it reliably.

Seeing that Yang Xian was actually trying to pull Kang Ning, one of the beggars' leaders immediately tried to pull Yang Xian, causing Yang Xian's guards to panic, and the two sides started a small-scale scuffle.

During the pulling and tugging process, Yang Xian's clothes were all messed up. He was afraid that he would be exposed in public, which would be too embarrassing, so he could only let his guards protect him away from Kang Ning.

At the beginning, Kang Ning was also worried that these beggars would take the opportunity to take them away. After all, many beggars were disguised as beggars. But when she found that the beggar only pulled Yang Xian but did not attack them, she immediately realized that someone was helping her.

So, Kang Ning quickly pulled Chunlai along, and followed the direction where the beggars were wandering, quickly moving away from Yang Xian and heading towards the alley in the distance.

After Yang Xian stood still in shock, he realized that Kang Ning was missing. He knew that someone had deliberately arranged for a beggar to save Kang Ning, so he angrily asked his men to go find that person.

After Kang Ning escaped the disaster, she remembered Chai An's warning earlier and roughly understood what had happened, so she hesitated for a moment and then took Chunlai to Fanlou.

Chai An had just heard Deqing's report. When he heard that Deqing had used money to deceive beggars and ruined Yang Xian's good deeds, he initially praised Deqing for being smart, but he immediately reacted and asked nervously, "Deqing, have you dismissed these beggars?"

Deqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he said uncertainly, "Master, I gave them money and asked them to run away quickly. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Besides, there are so many beggars in the capital, who can find them?"

Upon hearing this, Chai An couldn't help but frown and said, "Stupid, Yang Xian is such a powerful person. As long as he finds the Five Cities Army, he will be able to capture all the beggars in the capital and arrange for people to interrogate them one by one. Do you think those beggars will not betray you at that time?"

After hearing Chai An's analysis, Deqing couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He could imagine that if he just tortured those beggars casually, how could they keep his secret for a little money?
Deqing seemed to have seen the scene of his master being implicated, and said in panic, "Master, what should I do?"

Chai An knew that he had to figure out a solution for this, so he thought about it and said, "Deqing, you can bring money to hire all the beggars you contacted, including their companions, to go outside the city and repair our garden outside the city."

Of course Deqing knew that these beggars would never be able to build a garden, so he might as well find a way to reward these beggars with money so that they could hide away temporarily. When the city was settled and the storm had passed, he would let these beggars leave.

Thinking of this, Deqing hurriedly said goodbye to Chai An, got the money from Manager Liao, then ran out of Fanlou and headed towards the alley where the beggar he hired was.

That alley is where the beggar leader lives. As long as we find him, we can ask him to take all the beggars away.

As soon as Deqing left in a hurry, Kang Ning came over in a carriage. Accompanied by Chunlai, she went straight into Fanlou.

When Shopkeeper Liao saw Chunlai and Kangning, he turned around and hid. He was worried that the two men would recognize him and cause trouble for him, so he told the waiter to deal with it. However, because he was too anxious, he didn't even say how to deal with it.

The waiter was a little confused after hearing what Liao said, but before he could ask, his own shopkeeper had already crawled under the cabinet. He could only walk forward awkwardly and said with a smile, "Miss, what would you like to order? I'll arrange a seat for you right away."

Kang Ning did not beat around the bush and said very straightforwardly, "I am here to look for your master, Master Chai. Please, waiter, show me the way. I have something important to do."

The waiter looked at the pretty girl opposite him and didn't dare to say no. He looked down at Shopkeeper Liao and found him waving his hand.

The waiter followed the direction of Shopkeeper Liao's hand and found the attic where Chai An was. He thought Shopkeeper Zhao wanted him to take the girl upstairs, so he quickly said, "Come this way, young lady. Our young master is upstairs."

When Shopkeeper Liao saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out. He didn't expect that his waiter was so stupid.

Kang Ningke didn't know that the waiter in front of her had made a mistake. She followed the waiter and slowly went upstairs with Chunlai.

Chai An was pacing upstairs anxiously when he suddenly heard footsteps outside. He thought it was Deqing coming back, so he asked impatiently, "What's the matter? Is it done?"

Kang Ning and the waiter were both stunned for a moment, wondering why Chai An was so angry.

Kang Ning thought that she was the cause of the trouble, so she waved her hand to let the waiter go. Then she said politely, "Mr. Chai, thank you for helping me out just now."

After hearing what his young lady said, Chunlai couldn't help but look up at Kang Ning, and then he was shocked.

Could it be that the beggar just now was arranged by Master Chai?

Come to think of it, this is really possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to hire so many beggars.

Why would Chai An help this young lady?
Aren't the two families in conflict?
Chai An turned around only after hearing Kang Ning's voice. He didn't expect that Kang Ning came directly to him after being rescued. Thinking of the reprimand just now, he said very apologetically, "I thought it was Deqing, but it was the girl. It was really rude."

Kang Ning saw that Chai An wanted to change the subject, so she said very seriously, "Master Chai, I think you also know that our Li family's status is not presentable in this capital. If there is any danger, we can't know it in advance, I am afraid the consequences will be very serious. So, if Master Chai knows something, please let me know."

Chai An saw Kang Ning looking at him with burning eyes, and he also knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the girl would definitely not give up. He hesitated for a moment, and could only say helplessly, "You offended Liang Junqing before, and that villain instigated Yang Xian to look for you. I was worried that you were in danger, so I warned you in advance. Today, I saw you go out, so I asked Deqing to go and see, but I didn't expect to see you being blocked by Yang Xian. Deqing was anxious, so he hired those beggars to help, and he didn't expect to really save the girl."

Kang Ning was a little confused. She asked in confusion, "Who is Yang Xian? Why did he listen to Liang Junqing?" Seeing that Kang Ning had suffered an unexpected disaster without even knowing Yang Xian, Chai An shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know what kind of deal Yang Xian and Liang Junqing have. I only know that Yang Xian seems to have taken a portrait of the girl, so he is looking for you everywhere."

When he said this, he looked at Corning with suspicion. He wondered if the portrait was thrown away by the girl on purpose. After all, in that era, it was difficult for anyone except relatives to obtain a portrait of a woman.

Kang Ning of course understood what Chai An meant, and said helplessly, "That time when we went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, my mother wanted to pray for us to find a marriage partner, but we unexpectedly ran into a thief, and when we hurried out, my mother dropped the portrait.

My eldest brother-in-law later sent people to look for it, but they only found the portraits of my eldest sister and two younger sisters, but mine was missing. I didn't expect it to be left here, and it caused this trouble. Mr. Chai, please don't interfere in this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Mr. Chai."

Chai An was not a person who sought rewards for doing a favor, but when he heard Kang Ning say that, he suddenly worried about breaking up his relationship with this girl, and he suddenly felt reluctant.

So, he deliberately said in a helpless tone, "But now it's too late for me to care. When I helped you before, the beggars hired by Deqing might have exposed me."

Kang Ning was indeed somewhat shocked. She hurriedly asked in a panic, "What is Yang Xian's background? I think Master Chai seems to be very afraid of him, too?"

Chai An knew that he needed to popularize the situation, so he sighed and said, "Yang Xian is the younger brother of the current emperor's most favored concubine, Little Beauty. Do you think this matter is difficult or not?"

Kang Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yang Xian's connections only reached the Heavenly Palace. This made him a little panicked.

However, she was only panicked for a moment, and she immediately said, "Master Chai, if that's the case, why don't you come with me to Zhuxian Town? I think only my brother-in-law can solve this problem."

Chai An certainly understood what Kang Ning meant, and this was something he had been longing for. He had long wanted to meet Wang Yue, so he quickly agreed, arranged for someone to prepare horses, and personally led people to escort Kang Ning out of the city and headed towards Zhuxian Town.

……

After a few days of training, Shouhua, Zhao Jian and the others had already learned to play the piano, but the effects of their performances were different.

Zhao Jian was naturally gifted, and after such a long period of practice, she had already cultivated her true energy, so when she played the piano, she could produce music that could affect people's minds. Although the syllables she played were not as good as Wang Yue's, they could easily make people intoxicated.

As for Cao Danshu, Le Shan and the others, they only felt refreshed while playing the piano. They all felt that the music was just comfortable and it had no other use.

The Five Rats had obviously practiced internal skills before, so the effect of their playing was actually similar to Zhao Jian's. They also understood the mystery of the piece, but they were obviously not particularly interested in the guqin, so they started to study other instruments.

Just when every disciple in the academy was busy, Chai An and Kang Ning came out of the academy together. Because Kang Ning was the sister of Mrs. Wang Yueru, she was directly led in by the butler Wang.

It happened that Zhao Jian was playing a song at this time. After hearing the song, Chai An stopped immediately and felt a little dazed. Fortunately, his martial arts skills were pretty good, and he calmed down after a moment of distraction.

But even so, Chai An was still shocked, because he could clearly feel the fluctuations of his own true energy from the songs played by different people at the same time.

You know, ever since he made great progress in martial arts, he hasn't felt this kind of surging energy for a long time.

Kang Ning was originally walking in side by side with Chai An, but she suddenly found Chang An stopped while walking, so she also stopped and asked in confusion, "Master Chai, what's wrong?"

Chai An did not answer this question. Instead, he turned around and looked at Steward Wang and asked, "Steward Wang, don't you know who is playing the piano in here? Why do I feel a little dazed when I hear the piano music, but you and the third lady are fine?"

Wang Da was just an ordinary person, and he didn't understand the mystery of the piano music. When he heard Chai An asking, he smiled and said, "This is my master's eldest disciple playing the piano. As for the music, it was composed by my master. As for why the third girl and I are fine, it may be because we don't know martial arts."

Chai An was very surprised when he heard this. He had always thought that Wang Yue only taught him how to read and write or other principles. But now it seemed that Wang Yue was probably teaching him martial arts.

So it seems that Wang Yue is very good at both martial arts and reading.

You know, since ancient times, the poor have been good at literature and the rich have been good at martial arts. Poor people may have some opportunities to study, but it is absolutely impossible for them to learn martial arts. Therefore, a master like Wang Yue can only come from some big families, which makes Chai An think too much.

Thinking of this, Chai An's expression became more serious. He smiled and said to Kang Ning, "Your brother-in-law is indeed an extraordinary person. I'm afraid that Yang Xian's trouble this time really needs your brother-in-law's help."

Kang Ning was a little confused. She couldn't understand why. She just felt that the problem could be solved after hearing the piano music. However, she still didn't say anything. She just smiled and followed the butler Wang inside.

As they approached, Zhao Jian's music just fell. Wang Yue did not comment, but looked outside. He noticed that Kang Ning was among the people who came, so he said to Shouhua, "Your sister is here, you should go and entertain her."

In the past few days, Shouhua has learned the piano playing techniques taught by Wang Yue, and of course also learned a few songs. She feels that such days are very happy, so she forgets about the troubles outside.

Fortunately, Shouhua was smart and knew that her sister would not come uninvited for no reason, so after hearing Wang Yue's reminder, she looked back at her sister, then smiled and said, "Master, I'm afraid my sister is here to see you, so please accompany me."
