Chapter 19 "Dragon and Phoenix" Reunion
One
Kang Tai's poems are full of desolation and loneliness. To put it bluntly, he is using Li Yu's poems to express his own inner thoughts and concerns for Anne.
Soon this poem shook the hearts of Xiaoyu and everyone present, and everyone closed their eyes and quietly recalled the meaning.
"It's a really special feeling. Li Xiaoyu said with feeling, "It seems to come from the darkness, but it seems to come from the depths of the heart, it's too sad." Good poetry---- good poetry!"
After Li Xianling settled down, he kept thinking that the young man in front of him was dignified, elegant, and generous. Especially the gold medal in his sleeve pocket, it is not something that ordinary rich children can have, he must be a child of an official eunuch, he can't be offended!
The more Li Xianling thought about it, the more frightened he felt, fortunately he didn't act rudely just now, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause? Thinking of this again, he took the initiative to talk to Kang Tai.
"This son, he is really talented!" Boss Li said very respectfully, "Fang is old and reckless for a while, and he almost insulted Sven, and I ask the son to bear with me." ”
"Oh! it's okay, I've forgotten what I just did. ”
"That's good---- that's good!" Li Xianling asked further, "I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao, where is he staying?"
"My surname is Kang, and I stay here. Kang Tai said in an official tone, "Oh! I'm sorry! I still have something to do, and I'm out of company." ”
"Childe, please stay. Li Xianling asked tentatively again, "The old man took the liberty to ask one more question, I don't know how long the son can travel in this county?"
"Oh, look at the mood! If you are in a good mood, you can stay for a few more days, if you are in a bad mood, then it is difficult to say. After Kang Tai replied to him in a vague way, he turned around and walked into the "Aloft Pavilion" again.
"Looks like we can't stay here for long. Li Xiaoyu threw a package to Empress Dowager Kang and said, "Here you go, this is your burden." You and I need to get out of here right now. ”
"Why is that? I have already fought for you for the inscription plate with Autumn Moon written on it, everything is going well, why do you want to leave?" asked Kang Tai puzzled.
"Oops! You've been targeted by my father. Li Xiaoyu hurriedly said.
"What is he staring at me? What do I have to keep an eye on?"
"Who asked you to play a young man in the capital?"
"There are so many young masters outside, why is he staring at me if he doesn't staring at me?" Kang Tai suddenly said, "Oh! I know why he is eyeing me, it must be because of this token, your father must have regarded me as a Beijing official." ”
"Alright, don't talk about it, let's go!"
"It's so late, the gates are closed, where can we go?"
"I don't know, but you have to get out of here now. ”
In desperation, Kang Tai had no choice but to follow Xiaoyu to sneak out of the restaurant while those sons and buddies were pestering Boss Zhang, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Wang Naxiang and a large team of people on the way.
"Ha--- ha--- I see you running there, come, all surround me. ”
When the king gave the order, a group of heavily armed soldiers with torches surrounded them.
"Wang Naxiang, I will never marry you. Li Xiaoyu asked with some emotion, "Why are you still haunting me?"
"Hmph, nonsense, marriage has always been the order of your parents, how can you be allowed to come nonsense. Annoyed, Wang Naxiang jumped off his horse and stepped forward and said, "Your father has betrothed you to General Ben, and you will be General Ben's wife in the future." If you don't hurry up and go back with General Ben. ”

At the moment when Wang Naxiang pulled Xiaoyu into his arms and was about to take him away, Kang Tai unexpectedly rushed up, saved Xiaoyu in time, and said in a very gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry! This general, can you please let me say a word?"
"Shut up. The king said with a fierce look, "You have taken away the general's wife, who has not yet passed through the door, and the general has not yet settled accounts with you! Now you dare to say more, I don't think you want to live." ”
"How can you say such a thing, general?" said Kang Tai with some disgust, "I didn't take away your lady who didn't pass through the door, and neither did she. And between you are falling flowers and deliberately flowing ruthlessly, even if you are barely together, there will be no happiness, why should the general be so persistent?"
"How much do you know about the love of men and women, and how can you see that we will not be happy together?" After the king scolded Kang Tai with a red face, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Come on, arrest this rebel for me." ”
"No, wait!" Li Xiaoyu suddenly stepped forward and said emotionally, "Your and my affairs have nothing to do with Brother Kang, don't you declare a personal vendetta!"
"Hmph, Brother Kang, how affectionate you are! You still say that it has nothing to do with him. The king said angrily, "Come, arrest me." ”
"Wait! Wang Naxiang, you are really a faint official who does not distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, and His Majesty the Queen of Heaven is really the wrong person. Kang Tai actually threw his long sleeves back and stepped forward to say in an official tone.
"Who are you?" asked Wang Naxiang, very surprised.
"Hmph, it seems that it is not possible to reveal your identity now. Kang Tai showed the gold medal given by the emperor and said officially, "Listen, this official is the queen mother's personal inspection envoy." Specially ordered by the Queen Mother to inspect the world, if you meet someone like you who is a traitor, this official can be cut first and then played. ”
"Ha--- ha--- Ha! What kind of world patrol envoy, do you think you can coax General Ben with a broken brand? It's not that easy. The king, who stood arrogantly in the midst of the crowd, said, "It is an unforgivable sin for this man to dare to pretend to be an official of the court." Come on, take it for me. ”
"Don't move, I'll see which of you dares to move again. Kang Tai held the gold medal high above his head and learned the words of the ancients and scolded loudly, "This official is a first-class official ordered by the Queen Mother, and bears the heavy responsibility of inspecting the world by order, if you dare to disrespect this official, it is disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven, and it is the crime of exterminating the nine clans, and if you don't want to die, you will give this official a retreat." ”
After hearing Kang Tai's words, the soldiers all had lingering palpitations in their hearts, and they began to retreat one after another.
"Bastard! Stop me. Wang Naxiang held a steel knife, stood in the army with a hideous face, and said loudly, "He is a rebel who pretends to be an official of the imperial court, and he is not a first-class official personally ordered by His Majesty the Queen of Heaven." Whoever dares to take a step back, General Ben will engage in military law, give it to me. ”
The generals who received the death order had no other choice, so they had no choice but to obey the order and rush towards Kang Tai. Suddenly, from far and near came the sound of hurried shouts and chaotic footsteps from far and near, and it was not until they got closer that they realized that it was Li Xianling who had rushed over with a group of officials.
"Wang ------ General Wang, and move slowly------ slow down!" Li Xian Ling said breathlessly.
"Hmph! Li County Order, this matter has nothing to do with you, you had better not interfere. Wang Naxiang warned.
"Li County Order, you have listened to me, this official is the queen mother's personal envoy of the world, and he was ordered to inspect the world so far. Kang Tai also put on an official posture and said, "If something happens to this official on your territory, then you will be fully responsible." ”
"Yes------ yes. After Li County Commander responded very respectfully, he ordered his subordinates again, "Quick, protect the patrol envoy." If you lose a single hair, you will have your head. ”
As soon as this order was given, all the officials drew their swords and stood in front of Kang Tai to confront Wang Naxiang's generals.
"Li County Order, you are so bold, do you know what you are doing now? Wang Naxiang said in a loud voice.

"The lower officials don't dare. Li Xianling stepped forward and said, "However, the lower official still has to advise the general, not to lose a big one because of a small one! If everything he said is true, but the general does not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and you do not know how serious to arrest him as a prisoner, once His Majesty the Queen of Heaven blames him, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around! The lower official does not want to throw away this black gauze hat, so the lower official also advises the general not to act recklessly, and to think twice before doing everything!"
Wang Naxiang thought to himself, even this Li County Commander, who knows how to observe words and feelings, and is good at flattery, is respectful to this kid, which shows that this kid is extraordinary. If he really recklessly arrested someone who shouldn't be arrested, or had a conflict with these officials, and angered the Empress Dowager Nawu, it would be too unworthy to lose his official position.
"Oh! It's too dark just now, and General Ben can't clearly identify the authenticity of that gold medal, and I ask this boy to put the gold medal in your hand closer, so that General Ben and I can see it." Wang Naxiang suddenly made a 360-degree turn and said.
"Okay!" Kang Tai replied, then took the gold medal in front of him and said, "You have to take a closer look! ”
After looking at it carefully, Wang Naxiang pretended to have just recognized the identity of Kang Tai's inspector and said, "Oh! It was really too dark, so the last general didn't recognize the adult in time, and he was offended, so please ask the adult Haihan. ”
"Hmph!" Kang Tai suddenly raised the gold medal high and shouted in a decent manner, "The Queen Mother has an order." ”
At this time, everyone present knelt on the ground when they heard the sound, and each of them shouted something like "Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose" and the like.
Kang Tai found that they were all bluffed by himself, so he let go of his courage and said: "The Empress Dowager orders you to wait, as soon as possible, wipe out Xu Luo's rest of the party, and completely quell the war, there must be no mistake." ”
After all, he had stayed in the palace for a while, and he had some understanding of the words and deeds of the hostess there, Wu Zetian, so when he imitated and conveyed the orders she gave him, he also looked like him.
"The ministers obeyed. Wang Naxiang and Li Xian Ling saluted at the same time.
"Alright, everyone don't kneel, get up!"
"Master Xie. And when they had made peace, they all stood up again.
"I heard that you have already fought with those rebels last night. Kang Tai pretended to be very angry and asked, "But you have returned from a great defeat, and many people have died, but is there such a thing?"
"Oh, my lord is really clever and well-informed!" said Li Xianling with a hippie smile on his face.
"Okay, Li County Order, you don't have to pat the official's ass, if such a big thing happens, I'm afraid even the whole world will know about it, how can the official not know about it!"
"Yes------ yes, the lower officials are more talked------ the lower officials are more talked. ”
"Well, that's not the most important thing. Kang Tai was very dissatisfied with Wang Naxiang and said, "Wang Naxiang, what are you doing, so many people have let them run away." It's really a disappointment for this official and Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven. ”
"My lord, this can't be all blamed on the last general!" Wang Naxiang said very aggrievedly, "Last night, if it weren't for the help of three demon girls around those chaotic parties, the last general would have wiped them all out." ”
"What do you mean, not a witch? ”
Wang Naxiang was also very dissatisfied, and roughly described what happened at that time, which made Kang Tai very shocked when he heard it.

After Kang Tai learned about some of the things that happened last night, he guessed that the three demon girls that Wang Naxiang had just mentioned might be referring to Zixia, Shang An, and Annie, so he was happy and anxious in his heart. Happily, he finally had the hope of meeting Anne, whom he had been longing for. Anxiously, he didn't know if Anne and the others were out of danger now, where they went?
"Do you know where they went when they left the city?" said Kang Tai, pretending to be indifferent, and asked Wang Naxiang.
"According to the Tanmalay report, they went in the direction of Yuhang. Wang Naxiang thought for a moment and replied, "However, please rest assured, my lord, General Fang has already led people to chase after them, and they can't escape from the palm of the last general's hand." ”
"Oh! That's good--- that's good. After Kang Tai pretended to make peace a few times, he returned to the mansion with Li Xianling and Wang Naxiang.
Since Li Xianling learned that Kang Tai was a first-class inspector, he changed his original idea of marrying Xiaoyu to Wang Naxiang, but he came up with the idea of marrying his daughter Xiaoyu to Kang Tai. At this time, Kang Tai was planning in his heart how to leave here to find Anne.
Soon, Li Xianling persuaded Xiaoyu to let her strike while the iron was hot and enter Kang Tai's room overnight, ready to cultivate the so-called relationship. Although Xiaoyu was still a little resistant at first, she didn't have too strong opposition in her heart, so she went in the end.
"Xiaoyu, it's so late, why don't you sleep yet?" Kang Tai asked with a somewhat panicked expression.
"I can't sleep, I want to talk to you. Li Xiaoyu replied with blurred eyes.
"Well, I can't sleep either. Kang Tai frowned and said, "Say it, if you have any unspeakable words, just say it, and see if I, a friend who met in Pingshui, can help you solve your problems." ”
"I think the person who really needs to solve problems at this time is you, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look at your sad face, you know that you are missing someone. ”
"Who?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid, it's the Anne girl who always worries you when you and I talk in the 'Aloft' in the restaurant!"
"You're such a quirky, inscrutable little girl. ”
"I've grown up, please don't call me a little girl. ”
"Okay----- good------ good! Kang Tai smiled and said, "Let's not call you a little girl in the future, but a big girl, it's all right?"
"That's pretty much it. Li Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Li Xianling, who was peeping outside the window, saw that they were talking very closely, so he walked away very satisfied. Not long after he left, Xiaoyu's face changed.
She suddenly picked up a package that had already been prepared on the round table, and interrogated Kang Tai emotionally, "Are you going to abandon me and leave alone, do you say?"
"No------ no------ no, Xiaoyu, don't get me wrong, I'm leaving, but it's not what you said, I'm going to abandon you and go alone. Kang Taiji defended himself vigorously.
"Then take me with you, don't leave me alone, otherwise, my father will definitely force me to marry Wang Naxiang again, I beg you." Li Xiaoyu knelt in front of him and said.
In desperation, Kang Tai had no choice but to take Xiaoyu out of the county seat in a rented carriage at the dawn of the morning and drive towards Yuhang.

Dozens of days later, Tang Ao, Lin's, Annie, Zixia, Shang An, Chengchang, Wei Siwen, and Xu Luo, as well as Xu Chengzhi, Tang Xiaoshan, and Tang Xiangyi, who rushed out of Dantu County, broke through many difficulties and obstacles and came to Yuhang, the rich land of fish and rice.
Although the Jiangnan area is also full of examples and notices to arrest the rebellious party, it does not affect the economic development here at all, as well as people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. The market here is still very lively, those who should do business do business, and those who should go out of the city------ In short, do what you have to do, everything is as usual.
In order to hide people's eyes, they actually spent money to hire a lot of carriages, horses and servants, and formed a huge caravan, which traveled through the bustling streets and alleys, giving people the feeling that a certain wealthy family in the north had moved south, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of others. But this Yuhang is the economic and trade center of the country, and it is originally a feng shui treasure that some merchants yearn for, so even if there is a huge caravan moving or passing through, it is not surprising.
At this time, the three sisters, Anne, Zixia and Shang An, dressed in gorgeous and light silk dresses, sat in a carriage with flower tents, talking and watching.
"Wow! This Jiangnan water town really lives up to its name. Shang An said in amazement.
"Of course, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!" When Anne said this, she suddenly remembered Kang Tailai, who had not been heard from all along, and sighed and said, "Hey! It would be more perfect if Kang Tai was by my side now." ”
"What, Third Sister, do you miss him again?" Shang An asked.
"Yes!" said Anne with a sad face, "I don't know how he is now, whether he has a place to live, whether he has run out of entanglements." Eldest sister, second sister, I really want to see him right away, I really miss him, really. ”
"Okay, third sister, you don't have to be so melancholy, you are a pair of destined people made in heaven, even if there is a temporary separation, you will get together at the right time, don't worry! ”
"But I just can't rest assured, I want to see him soon. Anne said to Zixia in a pleading tone.
"Sister, look at the pitiful appearance of the third sister, you can help her do the math!" Shang An said in harmony.
"Okay!" Zixia answered, then slowly closed her eyes, and carefully calculated with bated breath.
"How's it going, big sister, where is Kang Tai?" asked Anne, a little anxious.
"Third sister, don't worry! it takes time for my sister to calculate. Shang An said comfortingly to Anne.
After listening to Shang An's reassuring words, Anne had no choice but to wait quietly for Zixia's news.
Soon, Zixia slowly opened her eyes and said to Anne calmly, "Third sister, don't worry, you will meet soon." ”
"Eldest sister, have you already figured out the whereabouts of Kang Tai?" asked Anne suddenly.
"Not bad. Zixia nodded lightly and replied, "He is also on his way to and from Yuhang now, and he will be there soon, don't worry." ”
"But---- people just want to see him right away!" said Anne.

Shang An stared at Annie's eyes full of longing, and suddenly had an idea to help her get Kang Tai back.
"Okay, third sister, you wait, second sister will go to help you welcome him back. ”
"Thank you, second sister, you are so good to me. Anne hugged Shang An and said.
"Hey, third sister, isn't the eldest sister treating you badly?" Zixia asked her with a pretended anger look.
"Of course, you are all very good to me, this third sister knows it in her heart, why should the eldest sister be angry with others because of this! Anne said coquettishly.
"Okay------ okay, third sister, you don't have to explain anything, my sister is not so careful. With that, Shang An turned into a cloud of white gas and disappeared in front of their eyes without noticing.
"Second sister, it's really resolute, coming and going without a trace! Anne leaned on Zixia's shoulder and praised Shang An and said.
"Okay, third sister, don't praise her anymore. Zixia stroked Anne's white jade face and said, "I'm afraid we're going to settle here today." ”
"Hey, no! Didn't Brother Cheng say that his brother was in Lin'an City?" Anne suddenly asked with some confusion, "Then why didn't we rush to Lin'an as soon as possible to join Brother Cheng's brother, but we want to settle here? Aren't you afraid that if we stay here for a long time, it will attract the attention of the government?"
"Oh, third sister, you are really smart but you are mistaken by cleverness!" Zixia asked her again, "Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? There are caravans like ours passing or staying here every day, who will look at us merchants! Besides, it is good to have a fixed place to contact Shang'er!"
"Makes sense. Anne nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm so blessed to have you two fairy sisters." You guys are like the robot cats in the cartoon and can fulfill all my wishes. ”
"Robot cats?"
"Oh, this robot cat! is a god who specializes in helping people fulfill their wishes. Anne replied mysteriously.
"Oh! I see. Zixia said, "Okay, you and I have to stop the convoy first." ”
"But, when the convoy stops, shall we stay in that inn?" Anne asked again, "There are so many restaurants and inns here, my eyes are about to see flowers, which one is it?"
"Let's stay in the 'Taifu Building'!" After that, Zixia called the coachman to stop the head car where Tang Ao, Lin and Cheng Chang were sitting, and said her thoughts and suggestions.
Soon, under her encouragement, everyone finally got out of the carriage and prepared to live in the "Taifu Building". Because extraordinary beauties like Zixia and Anne are particularly conspicuous in front of everyone, and the return rate is also extremely high, many sons and brothers praise Liu Furong, who has surpassed the beauty of the two of them and is known as "the first beauty in the world".
"Hmph! a group of nasty ghosts, looking at their lustful virtues, it's really disgusting, I knew that this was the case, you and I might as well be dressed as men!" Anne looked at the ugly faces of those boys, and said upsetly, "Sister, let's change places to live!"
"Okay, third sister, don't be angry, 'Taifu Building' is the best restaurant in this area, and we are now rich businessmen with a lot of money, if the place we live is not grand enough, it will make people suspicious. Zixia patiently persuaded Annie, "Okay, don't be temperamental, you have to contact Shang'er when you live in the guest room in a while!"
"Alright!" Anne replied, and prepared to go to the owner of the restaurant to discuss the guest room. Unexpectedly. was preempted by Tang Ao and them.
After Tang Ao found the boss of the restaurant, he asked politely: "This boss, I have come from afar, and I am already exhausted due to the work of boats and cars, I don't know if there is still a place to stay in your place?"
"Oh! I'm really embarrassed! There are only two guest rooms left now, how can so many people be accommodated, please Haihan. Boss Wang replied helplessly.
"Boss, Miss Ben wants to wrap up your 'Taifu Building' from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. Anne suddenly took out a pearl with a white light, the size of a longan grape, and said to Boss Wang.
After Boss Wang rubbed his wrinkled old eyes with his hands, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the big pearl with white light like a hungry dog had met flesh and bones, and said with great praise: "Oh! This is the authentic pearl of the South China Sea! Diluted treasure----- really diluted treasure! Xiao Er cleared the field." ”
This pearl is a gift from Nanzhao Wang Jin to Wu Zetian, of course, it is a diluted treasure and is priceless. Not to mention the entire restaurant, even if all the restaurants and inns in this area are all included, it is not worth one-third of this pearl, so they easily chartered the entire "Taifu Building".
When Zixia and Anne hid in a luxurious guest room, preparing to use the Thousand-Mile-Loud Transmission Method to contact Shang An, they didn't expect that she had already appeared in front of them with Kang Tai and Li Xiaoyu.
"Shang'er, how did you find this place?" Zixia asked in surprise.
"If I don't even have this ability, then I won't cultivate in vain. ”
Kang Tai and Anne finally met, and after a long time of separation and concern, the two of them couldn't control their feelings, and they couldn't help but hug and kiss tightly in front of Zixia, Shang An and Xiaoyu.
