Chapter 396 Divine Descendants

Lu Mingfei held Hui Liyi's hand.

The two looked into each other's eyes.

"Listen up, Eri."

"I, Lu Mingfei, must cure you."

"I will cure you no matter what."

He held up his palms.

"I swear."

It is said that the vows of love between boys and girls are of little use, just a sudden love. As time goes by, he and she, who had promised to be together for the rest of their lives, still have a new love, and they sacrificed to save love.

But Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi are not.

Their love was never a momentary flutter.

It's not what you call love at first sight.

Well, if we insist on saying love at first sight, it should be in the previous life, or even earlier.

Just like what Lu Mingfei said to Eli Yi on that page.

"I must have said I love you five hundred years ago."

It's just that Lu Mingfei has never forgotten it.

He still remembers it.

It wasn't until I saw Eri Yi's face that I remembered.

Just one look at the two of them confirmed it.

They gave birth and grew up in this world, experienced different people and things, and saw different scenery and scenery. They had seen the sunset and the morning dew. All of them, all of them, were for that reunion. .

In this case, how can I let go easily.

Eriyi, no matter what, I want you to live.

"General, we've arrived."

Lu Mingfei retracted his gaze to the east and walked down the deck.

He stepped on the land of Eri's hometown.

A few cherry blossoms floated in the wind, streaking across Lu Mingfei's bronze faceplate.

He opened his palm to catch it.

Then hold on tight.

Lu Mingfei raised his head with firm eyes.

I will cure you no matter what.

Even if it costs my life.

No matter what.

…………

The Fuso garrison arrived, and the royal family quickly arranged a dinner.

The standard of the banquet was very high, almost at the level of welcoming Wang Jue. Although the guardian envoy was only a marquis, the champion marquis was not an ordinary marquis. In terms of military achievements and honors, he could rank among the top three in the current Zhou Dynasty court.

The dancing girl with white face holds a small round fan. Different from Da Zhou's dance, Fusang's dance is slower and slower, with a unique charm.

But Lu Mingfei felt that he couldn't appreciate it.

Moreover, the sake was too little and too light, only the bottom of a cup. Lu Mingfei drank it all in one gulp, smashing it in his mouth, but he didn't taste it.

"Is the envoy dissatisfied?"

The white-faced official who received him smiled flatteringly.

Lu Mingfei put down his wine cup.

He did not take the man's words, but said.

"Where is your king?"

"king……"

The official narrowed his eyes and covered the lower half of his face.

He sighed regretfully, but he was pretending to be like this.

"Unfortunately, after his defeat at the hands of Heavenly Power eleven years ago, the king fell ill and within three months..."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

If he wants to solve Eri Yi's strange disease, he must first find out what the strange disease is. The first thing he thinks of is the Fuso royal family. This is the source of Eri Yi's bloodline inheritance. Maybe he can find it from the royal family. Breakthrough.

But at today's reception dinner, he didn't even see a single member of the royal family.

This made Lu Mingfei suspicious.

Through intentional and unintentional clichés, Lu Mingfei learned more information. He was surprised to find that members of the royal family had died one after another over the years. Today, Eriyi is one of the few royal bloodline members in Fuso. .

What's going on?

Lu Mingfei's intuition from many years of fighting on the battlefield told him that there must be something fishy inside.

After the dinner, Lu Mingfei returned to his residence with his soldiers. Walking in the winding corridor, he glanced at a few hidden corners, snorted coldly, and several dark figures walked out, knelt on one knee, and then retreated.

"General, such a small country dares to spy on you, we will..."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand to stop the soldiers' words.

"You just got here, don't act rashly."

They returned to the room, and the soldiers searched them voluntarily. Lu Mingfei stared out the window.

"General, you have no arms or legs."

"Um."

After a long time, Lu Mingfei found out.

"Go check it out..."

Lu Mingfei met the Fusang royal family the next day.

Across the bead curtain, white-faced palace maids and officials were seen. What was burning in the incense burner was something Lu Mingfei had never smelled. He twisted his neck. This place was not so much a place where the royal family dealt with court affairs, but more like a wood carving and clay sculpture of gods and Buddhas. The erected hall.

Officials in charge of etiquette followed complicated and obscure procedures.

With its white face and red mouth, it looks more like an evil ghost walking out of a mural than a living person.

What a weird country.

Lu Mingfei thought that his patience had been exhausted in one procedure after another, so he simply stopped playing with them. Lu Mingfei strode forward and opened the door under the panicked eyes of the woman and officials. Bead curtain.

The sound of crashing was crisp and messy.

The three or four-year-old boy, wearing a costume that was very inappropriate for his age, looked at Lu Mingfei curiously with his eyes wide open.

When he saw the bronze mask, the child pursed his lips and burst into tears.

The envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty frightened the foreign king to tears.

How to put this matter, I always feel it is a bit subtle.

I don’t know if it’s bad for Lu Mingfei’s reputation or Fusang’s if word gets out.

It's just that Lu Mingfei has no time to think about the issue of reputation.

The king of Fuso turned out to be just a young child.

Late at night, Lu Mingfei was sitting in his room, and the soldiers reported the investigation results to him.

In recent years, members of the royal family have died suddenly one after another. How could such a big event not have an explanation? However, in this era where we still believe in strange powers and gods, explaining this kind of thing is much easier than imagined.

The excuse they used was Eri.

The girl who was said to be born with bad luck.

After passively bearing the notoriety of Fuso's defeat, Eri, who was a hostage in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had to shoulder things that did not belong to her.

According to folklore, the reason why members of the royal family died suddenly one after another was because of the appearance of Eri. Her birth was ominous and attracted the anger of the gods, which caused her blood relatives to die one after another.

"Oh, it's ominous."

Lu Mingfei's tone was cold.

He doesn't like to play politics, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. For many people, Bo Yun's strange situation is as familiar to Lu Mingfei as looking at the lines on his palm.

What about the wrath of gods and about an ominous daughter? In the final analysis, it is not just a power struggle. Eri Yi is just an excuse to give an explanation to the world. The essence of this matter is nothing more than a power struggle between the king and the scholar-bureaucrats.

However, this kind of thing would never happen in the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the ministers killed the royal family until only a child who knew nothing was left in the power struggle. Is this Fuso monarch just a decoration?

Lu Mingfei sighed for a moment and then stopped thinking about it. Eriki's feelings for blood relatives were very weak, almost non-existent. After all, she spent her childhood as a monster, or she was called a goddess in Fuso, it didn't matter. , in short, it’s not just human beings, but growing up in such an environment, how could you have good childhood memories?

However, if Eriki were to know about Fuso's situation, she would definitely still be very sad.

It's better to hide it if you can.

Lu Mingfei stopped thinking and then turned to think about another thing.

There is only one young child left in Fuso's royal family, and the way to get the source of Eri's strange disease from them seems to be impossible.

Then change the way.

Lu Mingfei turned his attention to Fusang's royal files.

It is said that the dossier is a secret among royal secrets and will certainly not be shown to outsiders.

But there was only one young child left in Fusang, and the ministers relied most heavily on Zhou to evade the royal power.

So, when Lu Mingfei asked to take a look at the files, these ministers readily agreed.

He was even afraid that Lu Mingfei wouldn't enjoy what he saw, so he arranged for a special escort.

Lu Mingfei told the eleven or twelve-year-old girl to go down with a dark face. Before coming, he had heard that the nobles here in Fusang had unique tastes, but he did not expect that such a unique method would make them worse than animals.

Lu Mingfei looked at the rows of bookshelves and sighed.

As you can imagine, this must be a huge project.

Take your time to find it.

From then on, Lu Mingfei lived in this archive room.

Fusang's ministers had been on tenterhooks for half a month, doing things with trepidation, fearing that the envoys of the Celestial Empire would be unhappy during this great week and would kill them during the New Year.

What's more, they also had something up their sleeves. They had done some research before Lu Mingfei came. When they saw that the champion Mrs. Hou was Eri Yi, their eyes almost popped out of their heads, and they were so scared that they broke into a cold sweat.

They have also heard what kind of person the champion is. If this evil star wants to vent his anger on his wife, they will not want the heads on their necks.

They each tapped their property and waited for the champion to come to their door, hoping to buy a life.

But after waiting uneasily for more than half a month, they watched the champion rush into the file room and never come out. There was no movement at all. Their hearts were raised in their throats, but they just fell back into their stomachs.

Gradually, the banquet resumed, and the nobles returned to their previous lives. Occasionally they mentioned Lu Mingfei, and they just said that this champion was just not worthy of his name, just an illusion. He was so powerful that he could not do anything at first glance. .

A month later, Lu Mingfei walked out of the file room.

The warm sunlight also felt dazzling to him. Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand to block it and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

For him, reading crazily for a month was simply torture, but the torture was still useful. At least Lu Mingfei found out the crux of Eryi's problem.

Perhaps it is a tradition that every royal family has. They always like to have something to do with God, either saying that they are the emperor or the son of god, and Fuso is no exception.

They have always regarded themselves as the descendants of the gods.

Originally, this was just a means of ruling, and there was nothing much to say about it. It was just that among the members of the royal family of this generation, a goddess really emerged.

This is a big problem.

Speaking of which, the reason why they judged Erika to be a goddess was because she had golden blood flowing when she was born, her eyes were also golden, and they had snake-like vertical pupils.

Seeing Eriyi like this, all the royal family members had different thoughts. Some were afraid, some were worried, some were jealous, but no one was happy.

If Eriyi's mother hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect her, the girl might have died soon after she was born.

Unfortunately, giving birth to Eriki was obviously too difficult for the mother. She didn't have time to see Eriki grow up, so she died of infinite regret.

Maybe she is the only person in this cold palace who is really good to Eri.

Before she died, she held Wang's hand and asked him to promise her to protect Eriki.

This is the main reason why Eriyi can grow up safely.

The king had very complicated feelings towards his princess. She was born a goddess. With such a title, she was a huge threat to his throne. What's more, they were a royal family that claimed to have the blood of gods. Eri's existence itself had the qualities The legal system that ascended the throne.

From the perspective of a king, what he should do is naturally to get rid of Eri. Family ties are worthless in the face of power.

But no matter what, Eriyi is his daughter, and her mother is also the king's favorite woman. Love is too luxurious for a person in this position, so the king cherishes it doubly.

Reason and emotion conflict, and one can imagine Wang's complicated mood.

Fortunately, as she grows older, the abnormality on Eri's body gradually diminishes, her blood turns from golden to bright red, and her eyes return to black and white instead of golden vertical pupils.

Wang felt a little relieved.

As long as the news is blocked, no one will know Eri's secret.

It's just that even though Eriyi grew up safely, her childhood was not happy at all. She was like a canary, no, she was trapped in the house like a prisoner. She had no friends and no laughter. She just looked out the window every day. The sky was in a daze.

I don’t know who leaked it, but in short, the idea that the little Princess Eriri was an unlucky creature gradually spread in Fuso. The rumors continued among the people, and no one from the royal family came out to clarify it, which deepened the sentiment among the people.

Speaking of which, this should be the protection of Eri, at least that's what the king believes. His sons are ambitious, and he himself is getting older. Once he dies, who can protect Eri?

The name of the goddess is too scary, as if Eriki was born with a destiny. This is a country that believes in ghosts and gods, and believes that everything has animism. In the eyes of the king's sons, the most threatening ones are not their brothers. , but this sister who has a destiny.

Therefore, turning this destiny into a stigma, even though it will bring bad reputation to Eriki, she should still be able to survive.

Time passed day by day, except for the members of the royal family, all the maids and officials who had seen the goddess Eriki turned into a barren grave, and the secrets about Eriki were gradually buried.

But even though Eriki returned to being just like an ordinary person, something new happened.

She started to get sick.

My body is getting weaker day by day.

I always fall into coma while walking on the road.

I consulted many doctors and took many medicines, but it still didn't help.

Seeing that Eri Yi was about to die like this, a man named Bai Xiaosheng entered the palace and used a bottle of potion to solve Eri Yi's problem.

But Bai Xiaosheng also said at the time that this potion would treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Fifteen years later, Eliyi's disease would still relapse.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei thought of Hui Liyi's current appearance.

Calculating the time, it is exactly fifteen years.

He couldn't help but be curious, and he didn't know who this Bai Xiaosheng was. There were rumors in the world that it was five hundred years before and five hundred years after. Lu Mingfei thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but now it seems that this Bai Xiaosheng is really Some ability.

Looking back, I don't know whether what he said that day at Ziyang Mountain was Bai Xiaosheng's intention or Qing Xuzi's intention.

Lu Mingfei didn't think too much, gathered his thoughts, and continued to read. What followed was what Bai Xiaosheng said could completely cure Eliyi's strange disease. He was full of expectations.

Just after reading the complete method, Lu Mingfei still frowned.

According to Bai Xiaosheng, Eri's strange disease is due to the divine blood flowing in her body. She is indeed a born goddess, and this identity is true.

Originally, if Eriyi's divine blood was intact, she would not be troubled by strange diseases, but would show many magical powers, such as being immune to all poisons and having infinite strength.

But Eriyi's divine blood was incomplete.

And the crux lies precisely here.

Incomplete divine blood is like poison, and it is the most poisonous poison in the world. Bai Xiaosheng can only temporarily relieve it. If he wants to truly eradicate it, he can only take the blood of another divine descendant to complete Eri Yi's incomplete bloodline.

The first thing that comes to mind for a divine descendant other than Eri Yi is naturally her brothers and sisters. The closer the blood relationship is, the better. It just so happens that Eri Yi has an older brother with the same father and mother, and he is also willing to help Eri Yi. He exchanged blood, but was finally stopped by Wang.

He requested several times, but the king refused. Finally, in anger, he left the palace without leaving any trace.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei's frown relaxed.

Now that this person has left the palace, he may still be alive today. Although the ministers are powerful, they are not in a position to completely control the inside and outside of the palace and the countryside. Otherwise, they would not need the support of Zhou Dynasty. Why not.

"You said before that the best information here is, where is it?"

"General, this is the Paradise Forest."

"That's it, let's go."

"correct."

Lu Mingfei walked as usual and gave instructions calmly.

"The prohibitions I mentioned a few days ago, no drinking, no gatherings, no banquets, those who violate them will be arrested."

"Didn't I hear that gold opened the way to Paradise Forest?"

"Our gold is coming soon."
