Chapter 404 Save the Lady

Erika fell asleep on the swing.

This is where the two met for the first time.

Lu Mingfei held her shoulders from behind.

Looking at Eriki sleeping.

This time he didn't prepare a story, he prepared a story.

Lu Mingfei sat quietly next to Eryi for a whole day.

It's dawn, the sun moves from east to west, and night falls again.

The capital city wakes up and goes to sleep again.

After eleven hours passed, Eriki finally woke up.

She blinked hard, and everything in her field of vision gradually changed from blurry to clear, and she saw Lu Mingfei's smiling face.

"Madam, morning."

Erika smiled lightly.

Until now, every time Eryi wakes up, it is like a gift from God.

So they should cherish it even more.

"Come, madam."

"I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Mingfei held Hui Liyi in his arms.

They walked on the deserted street.

The shops on both sides were closed, and two lanterns hung from the eaves, shining dimly.

The strange thing is that at the end of this deserted street, there is an inn still open.

They stood at the door, Eryi looked at Lu Mingfei doubtfully, and Lu Mingfei nodded with a smile.

"Come in, madam."

There were many people in the lobby, eating pastries, drinking tea, chatting with friends at the same table, or pouring themselves drinks to enjoy themselves. Here, Mingfei Xianglu and Eri Yi came in and found an empty table to sit down. There were not many The only thing that caught his attention was the looks from a few people around him.

"You two are objective, what do you want?"

The waiter bent over, his smile full of joy.

Hui Liyi looked at the surrounding environment with curiosity, including tables, chairs, benches, and various people.

She finally reacted.

Lu Mingfei once told Hui Liyi that when he was young, there were no champions at that time. There were only dandy young princes who were famous in the capital. In addition to fighting with the young masters who were also dandies, Lu Mingfei also Fei’s favorite thing to do is to come to an inn and listen to stories.

Thinking about it, this should be the inn that my husband often mentioned.

Eryi compared everything she saw with Lu Mingfei's description, and was surprised to find that they all matched up one by one.

Thinking that many years ago, her young husband had been sitting here, killing half a day with a pot of tea and a stack of snacks, Eriyi unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

"Lady."

Lu Mingfei called her.

"It's about to begin."

There was a loud snap.

In front of the crowd, there was a table, a chair, and a folding fan. The elderly storyteller spread out the fan.

"Last time, the book mentioned that the champion and the demon saint..."

Lu Mingfei's smiling face suddenly froze.

He rolled up his sleeves angrily.

"Don't stop me! Madam, don't stop me!"

"Watch it!"

"If I don't give him all last night's meal!"

"My surname is not Lu!"

He said something fierce, but Lu Mingfei didn't get up for a long time. Eryi didn't know who her husband was. How could the champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty get angry because someone arranged for her? But after all, it was her husband, Eryi. She still pulled Lu Mingfei's sleeve to show dignity, and sure enough, Lu Mingfei said it quickly.

"There's nothing I can do. Since you've stopped me, madam, I must listen to you. I don't care about this person's mistakes, and I don't have the same experience as him."

Then Lu Mingfei said to Eri Yi quite seriously.

"Storytelling, this is just storytelling. Madam, you must not take it seriously. Others are making it up."

Eriki nodded seriously, as if to say that she knew everything she knew.

The child was served tea, Lu Mingfei tasted a piece, frowned and said to Huiliyi.

“It’s not as delicious as it used to be, and it’s a bit sticky to the teeth.”

Eriyi also tasted a small piece and laughed.

"Not bad."

The two people's hands were holding together under the table, and Hui Liyi was writing in Lu Mingfei's palm.

The storyteller's story continues.

What is gratifying is that although this person choreographed the champion, he still knew the basic sense of proportion and there was no excessive description.

Lu Mingfei commented on Eliyi, saying that this person has been talking about books for so many years, and his level is still good. He is much more mature than before, and it sounds pretty good.

This can also be seen from the other guests in the lobby. They were all fascinated, and their emotions fluctuated with the storyteller's stories. Some unconsciously clenched their fists, and some even held their breath.

"Was it like this back then?"

Eriyi asked.

"Back then."

Lu Mingfei recalled.

"Absolutely, there's not much difference."

The hour came quickly.

Eriki's eyelids began to tremble, and her body leaned softly in Lu Mingfei's arms.

"Good night, madam."

Eriyi smiled with her lips raised, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

After Eriyi fell asleep, the bustling inn lobby seemed like time had stopped. A person put away the expression on his face and stood up quietly, his actions full of traces of good training.

"General."

"Back off."

"yes."

The person dressed as a waiter clasped his fists and saluted.

How could there be an inn open at this hour? I knew there was something fishy going on here. Everyone present, from the diners to the waiters, were all people from the world that Lu Mingfei had hired. There was no use asking ordinary soldiers for this kind of thing. , the evil spirit is too strong, no matter how much you pretend to be, it will leave traces, it is more appropriate to call someone from the martial arts world, because there is a so-called specialization in the art.

Speaking of which, if this incident were to spread, and people knew that the champion had put so much effort into his wife, many women would be envious.

One person walked out in silence. Mrs. Champion Marquis was already asleep, and no one dared to make the slightest sound to disturb her.

"correct."

The waiter turned around.

"What are your orders, general?"

"Then why did the storyteller say this?"

Everything this time has been arranged. Lu Mingfei had a plan in his mind about what everyone should and should not do. It should have been foolproof, but there were mistakes.

That's the storyteller.

What I prepared was a happy story about a young couple staying together forever, just to tell it to Eriki and tell her not to think too much about it.

Why did the storyteller change it privately?

"General, wait a moment, I'll go find him right now."

"Um."

Not long after, the waiter led the storyteller over.

He looked horrified, huddled his neck, lowered his head deeply, and did not dare to look at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's eyes stopped on him, and he looked thoughtful.

"You go down."

"yes."

The waiter bowed and stepped back.

Before leaving, I consciously closed the lobby door.

Only Lu Mingfei and the storyteller are left here.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The storyteller was at a loss.

"Sir, what are you talking about? I can't understand it."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"Do you think I can't see this trick of disguise?"

"After many years, you are still the same as before, your appearance has not changed."

"Tell me, who are you?"

After Lu Mingfei said these words, the storyteller actually had a reaction.

His rickety body straightened up and stopped shaking. He raised his lowered head and smiled.

The storyteller wiped his face with his hand, and soon, a young face appeared in front of Lu Mingfei.

It was the person who storytelled Lu Mingfei back then.

He was also the one who told the story of Eri Yi.

Lu Mingfei has good eyesight.

The storyteller had used some means to disguise himself before, making himself look older, but how could this be hidden from Lu Mingfei's eyes? It was soon seen that the storyteller's appearance had not changed at all after so many years. Change.

"Tell me, who are you?"

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei suddenly frowned.

He remembered many details. The stories told by the storyteller before sounded bizarre, but Lu Mingfei later confirmed them all.

Not just anyone can know the interesting anecdotes in the deep mansion.

Lu Mingfei happened to have heard of someone with such ability.

"Are you Bai Xiaosheng?"

The storyteller looked quite surprised.

He quickly handed it over.

"I dare not be extraordinary, I am not that adult."

Lu Mingfei carefully observed the other person's expression and nodded, not lying.

"Tell me, who are you and what do you want from me?"

The storyteller did not immediately identify himself.

He just treated Lu Mingfa.

"The young man is not looking for Mr. Hou, but someone else is looking for Mr. Hou."

"I'm just here to help with a message."

"oh?"

Lu Mingfei said with interest.

"Who asked you to take it?"

The storyteller smiled.

he said.

"Lu Mingze."

Lu Mingfei's face turned cold.

Is this person kidding himself?

When he went to the border to join the army, he used the name Lu Mingze.

Later, this title was also used for the title of marquis.

Now this guy actually told him that it was Lu Mingze who brought him here.

Why, I am telling myself something, am I still not clear about it?

Just before Lu Mingfei was about to get angry, the storyteller said again.

"It's also Bai Xiaosheng."

"Um?"

Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed.

This means that Bai Xiaosheng's name is Lu Mingze.

The person who gave him the message was Bai Xiaosheng.

Yes, Lu Mingfei remembered that the young man he met by chance not long ago, the Mr. Lu he mentioned was exactly the same as the rumored Bai Xiaosheng.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, isn’t that Lu Mingze?

Unfortunately, by the time I rushed to Water Town, there was no trace of Mr. Lu.

I had given up all hope.

But he never thought that Bai Xiaosheng would jump out on his own.

wrong.

The man in front of me has been a storyteller in the capital for ten years.

If he was Bai Xiaosheng's person from the beginning.

In other words, Bai Xiaosheng had been targeting him as early as ten years ago.

If you think about it carefully, the traces are actually very obvious. If it weren't for this storyteller, Lu Mingfei might not have noticed Eriki from the beginning.

Although the news about the foreign princess spread throughout the capital, Lu Mingfei was not interested in such rumors.

So, why did Bai Xiaosheng find me?

Such thoughts appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind.

He didn't think much about it.

Because the answer has already arrived at your doorstep.

The storyteller handed over a note.

"The words have been brought to you, Lord Marquis. The younger one will go first."

He cupped his hands and turned away.

Lu Mingfei glanced at him and then turned his attention to the note.

The first sentence firmly attracted Lu Mingfei's mind.

"Brother, it was me who suppressed you."

elder brother?

Lu Mingfei didn't know when he had a younger brother.

And the time doesn’t match up either.

The legend of Bai Xiaosheng walking around the world has been around for a long time, and the earliest record of seeing this person can be traced back to a century ago.

Even if he could run, jump, and pinch when he was born, he must be at least sixty years old.

So, what does Bai Xiaosheng mean by calling me brother?

Lu Mingfei continued to look down and quickly threw all these doubts away.

Unexpectedly, this person's next words would be...

"Brother, do you want to cure Eri?"

"The method is actually very simple."

"Brother, there is no need to find an antidote at all."

"Because."

"Brother, you are the antidote."

For a moment, all the previous events came to mind.

One clue after another is connected together.

Eriki's strange illness is caused by her incomplete divine blood.

The only way to cure her was blood transfusion.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on Eriri's half-father and mother-in-law, Minamoto's daughter.

But Yuan Zhennu’s divine blood is not complete either.

He couldn't protect himself, and there was no way to exchange blood for Eri Yi.

Lu Mingfei was trapped here.

The world is so big, where can one find a complete Son of God?

Lu Mingfei spent a lot of effort searching all over the world.

But he neglected himself.

Yes.

Lu Mingfei remembered the classics he read in Fuso, which contained descriptions of the Son of God and the Goddess.

At that time, he still thought it looked familiar, because he remembered the description in Dao Zang of Dazhou, and was still sighing that the sons and goddesses were not unique to Fuso, but also existed in Dazhou.

But he is born with supernatural powers, has a photographic memory, and is invulnerable to all poisons.

Aren’t the characteristics of these so-called sons of gods and goddesses just in line with mine?

Bai Xiaosheng, who claims to have known for 500 years before and 500 years later, said that the way to clear things up is the antidote.

Then that should be the case.

His hands shook uncontrollably.

Not fear, not nervousness.

It's excitement.

The champion was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head, and in his arms was the sleeping Hui Liyi.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

Gently smooth Eri's long hair.

"very nice."

Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi returned to the Champion Hou Mansion.

The news spread throughout the capital overnight.

When they thought about paying a visit, they were surprised to find that the Champion's Mansion was closed to all guests.

This is a time that only belongs to Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.

It's just that Eriyi always felt that something was wrong.

An indescribable feeling.

But she was sure something was wrong.

The husband has changed.

In the past, he still smiled and looked happy even every day.

But Eriki could feel her husband's heart sinking, falling into the bottomless abyss.

Lu Mingfei was desperate.

Even to the point of despair, Eryi did not dare to think about what her husband would do if she really left one day.

That's why she asked Lu Mingfei to promise herself that even though he was very willful, it was good to have a goal and a meaning to live.

However, Lu Mingfei has changed recently.

It was after listening to the book that day.

Huiliyi discovered that Lu Mingfei had changed.

On the surface he looks the same as before.

But Eriki could feel it.

Lu Mingfei's dead heart began to beat again.

It's like a fire has been rekindled from the ashes.

He seemed to have set a goal again and found a way forward.

But... what could it be?

Of course Eli Yi hopes that Lu Mingfei is working hard because of merit or something else.

But she knew her husband too well.

Eli Yi is very aware of her weight in Lu Mingfei's heart.

It could make Lu Mingfei start fighting again, and she couldn't think of any other reason besides herself.

But I know my illness.

Does your husband really have a cure?

And, it’s very strange.

Since there is a cure, why doesn't my husband tell me?

On the contrary... you are hiding it from yourself?

This puzzled Eriyi.

There was still a vague uneasiness in her heart.
