Chapter 406 The Storm Is Coming

Late at night, Eryi walked out of the study.

She rubbed her brows.

The cold evening breeze blew in, shaking her spirits.

"Go back to the bedroom?"

Sakurai Kogure said.

"No."

Hui Liyi said.

"Let's go to the ice room."

She moved the bed and placed it next to the ice jade coffin.

The lid of the ice jade coffin has been closed.

Eliyi only allowed herself to be willful once. Opening the lid before was already too much. She wanted Lu Mingfei to stay in the best condition and wait for the day he wakes up.

As for Lu Mingfei never waking up, Eryi never thought about such a future.

This is what Lu Mingfei promised, and she believes in her husband's promise.

From today on, Eriki slept in the ice room.

Occasionally dealing with affairs until late at night, lying on the couch and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Huiliyi would look at Lu Mingfei in the ice jade coffin for a long time.

For others, even Sakurai Kogure, the ice room is a restricted area. Once the temperature here is extremely low, accidents can easily happen if people stay here for a long time.

Eriyi was able to ignore it only because she had complete divine blood.

Secondly, this is the place where Lu Mingfei sleeps, and Eryi will never allow anyone else to get close to it, anyone except her.

Yes, Sakurai Kogure’s feeling is right.

Eri has undergone a huge change.

She is stronger.

Lu Mingfei had always protected her from the wind and rain.

Now that Lu Mingfei is sleeping, Hui Liyi wants to prove that she is not a burden.

She can also take on her own responsibilities.

This time, it was time to change into her pear clothes.

Seven days later, late at night.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan reined in his horse.

The soldiers quickly formed an array.

Marquis Zhenyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the general on a white horse in front of him.

That white horse!

besides……

Marquis Zhenyuan's eyes lingered on the bronze mask of the visitor, doubtful.

The bronze mask of the Champion is a symbol known to everyone in the world. No one else has this mask except him.

Therefore, the identity of the person in front of him is ready to be revealed.

But... didn't it mean that the champion was seriously ill and his time was running out?

Then this person in front of me is...

Various thoughts flashed through Zhenyuanhou's mind like a revolving door.

On the white horse, a person who looked like a champion was seen throwing a token.

Marquis Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows.

He knew what the token was without even looking at it.

Wubi Ling.

The Zhou Dynasty established the country through military exploits, and the Marquis Wuxun was very prominent. Taizu left a law as a plan for future generations. If there is any dissatisfaction among the military heroes, they can compete with each other to determine the outcome. Everyone is a warrior, and a thousand words are worth ten thousand. , are not as effective as using two moves under your hands.

Wubi Ling is on the ground.

Marquis Zhenyuan glanced at him and smiled coldly.

"received."

Regardless of whether the person in front of him is a champion or not, he must accept this martial arts order.

It's embarrassing to lose in the competition, but if you dare not pick up the fight, it's not just embarrassing.

When Marquis Zhenyuan spoke, there was no need to do it himself. Soldiers went over to get the token.

The man on the white horse nodded and headed to the school grounds.

That night, the news spread throughout the capital that the champion who had been dormant for many days appeared again.

A Marquis with a martial name, he issued challenges one by one.

No one is its rival.

Although some people doubt the identity of Champion Hou.

After all, the body shape is somewhat different.

But the innate power of Champion Hou cannot be faked.

Is it possible that there is another general in the world who can be as arrogant and powerful as a champion?

If it were really that easy, after hundreds of years of founding the Zhou Dynasty, there wouldn't be a single champion.

However, it seems that the champion is seriously ill.

The next day, he handed a note to the palace, explaining the reason why he had not been seen in recent days.

Sure enough, he still fell seriously ill.

After that, he took a leave of absence and did not go to court for a long time.

The minions stretched out in the dark retracted quietly.

The capital once again returned to its usual calm.

But under the sea, is it as calm as ever, or is it a huge hidden whirlpool?

Eriki took off her mask, and Sakurai Kogure removed her armor for her.

"It's so heavy."

"What?"

"I mean, this armor is really heavy."

The person who went out to invite the fight in Lu Mingfei's place was none other than Eli Yi.

No one would believe it if I told you that the sick wife of the Champion Marquis could actually win consecutive battles without any defeat in the face of so many martial arts heroes in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is also the benefit that the complete divine blood brings to Eri.

Eli Yi also possesses Lu Mingfei's natural divine power.

But in combat, it doesn't mean that you can be invincible if you are strong.

Although there is a saying that one force can defeat ten guilds, if the traces are too obvious, even if they win in the end, it will be seen that the champion is someone else pretending to be someone else.

So Eri spent seven days working hard to train herself.

No one would have thought that Eri's hands, which had always been just playing with instruments and playing with pen and ink, would one day hold weapons.

The pole of Fang Tian's halberd was very rough, and Hui Liyi's skin was worn out after just one day of practice. Fortunately, the divine blood had a magical effect, and the wound healed quickly. Hui Liyi breathed a sigh of relief, and it would not affect tomorrow's martial arts practice. Just fine.

Sakurai Kogure, who witnessed the whole process, was secretly thinking that if the champion were to know all this, he would probably jump up from the ice jade coffin immediately, scolding Eri sternly, and applying medicine to her hands.

Fortunately, all efforts are valuable.

In the end, they successfully passed this test.

But both Eriyi and Sakurai Kogure know that this is just a stopgap measure now. Eriyi can disguise herself by having the same bloodline as Lu Mingfei, but she can't even disguise Lu Mingfei's voice and appearance. , it doesn't make sense to always pretend to be sick, so they must leave the capital before the situation gets worse.

It can be said that Eriki is already a goddess. With her ability, it seems that there is no difficulty in leaving the capital.

But there is another Lu Mingfei lying in the ice jade coffin.

Although they have the same bloodline, Eriki is not Lu Mingfei after all. The champion is far superior to her in terms of combat skills and combat experience.

Eryi also thought about taking Lu Mingfei out of the capital by herself, but after careful consideration, she finally gave up. If it was Lu Mingfei, she might be able to do it, but she was still unable to do it.

Moreover, until now, they still have not been able to find out where the previous malicious intent against the Champion House came from.

Normally, Lu Mingfei had only been a prince for a few years. Although there were enemies in the court, they were not to the extent of killing them all.

So, who could it be?

It was as if a fog lay in front of Eriki and Sakurai Kogure, preventing them from seeing the whole picture.

The unknown breeds fear, especially when Lu Mingfei was still sleeping. Even if Eryi wanted to do something, she still had a lot of worries in her heart.

She rubbed her brows.

"Sakurai, move faster."

"I have a bad feeling."

"If you can leave Beijing, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible."

"Yes, the road is about to be opened, but after all, it is related to the safety of you and the Marquis. I am going to let people walk three times to make sure that the road is OK before setting off."

Huiliyi opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible, and get as much money as she could. She felt very bad here. Now that Eri is a true goddess, she believes that her intuition must be foreshadowing something.

But what Sakurai Kogure said is correct. It concerns her husband. He is sleeping now and is at his weakest moment. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Three times, just three times."

Eriyi nodded.

"But if possible, try to go as quickly as possible."

"Yeah, I know."

Sakurai Kogure is very serious.

Eri Yi is not the only divine descendant she knows. There was also a young girl before, oh no, it should be Kazama Ruri. With the help of Rongjin Pharmaceutical, Kazama Ruri can exercise the powers of the divine descendant. Among them, he is very dangerous to danger. The premonition left a deep impression on Sakurai Kogure.

If it weren't for the help of dangerous intuition and the desire to build a huge paradise forest from scratch, she and Kazama Ruri would have died in the smelly ditch long ago.

Sakurai Kogure naturally attaches great importance to Eri's dangerous intuition now.

This capital city is still the same as it has been for countless days. Vendors are selling, restaurants are opening, and all living beings are busy working for their own livelihoods.

But under such ordinary daily life, a huge net silently enveloped the champion house.

"lady!"

Eriki looked up and saw Sakurai Kogure running in.

She heard a hint of connection in the other party's calm tone.

This is really unimaginable.

Is there anything that can cause Sakurai Kogure's mood swings?

"Drink a glass of water."

Hui Liyi said.

"Slow down, tell me, what happened?"

Sakurai Kogure did not answer immediately.

She walked around vigilantly, checking every corner of the room, and finally stopped at the window sill.

After looking around, as if to confirm something, Sakurai Kogure closed the window tightly.

So careful?

Erika frowned.

Even the study room has to be treated like this. What happened that made Sakurai Kogure want to be like this?

She felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined.

The uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Sakurai Kogure walked back to the table.

"Can we talk now?"

Eriyi asked.

"Um."

Sakurai Kogure nodded.

"Someone is watching us."

"Surveillance?"

"I discovered it a few days ago. I thought it was just the eyes and ears sent by several other companies. It was considered normal in the capital, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"But these days there are more and more people monitoring."

"Even with their number, if each one of them is equipped with a weapon, it would be enough to storm the champion's palace."

"Something must have gone wrong."

"I just wanted to grab a tongue and come over to ask. It's not good to be passive all the time. If we can know who is behind this attack on us, it will be much easier to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Sakurai Kogure bowed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I made the decision on my own."

Eriki shook her head, saying that she shouldn't take this kind of thing to heart.

This is also the difference between her and Lu Mingfei.

If Sakurai Kogure dared to act without permission under Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei would not let him go so easily. After all, he was a Wuhou who came from the frontier, and strict military orders were engraved in his bones.

Eri clothes are not so particular.

What's more, now is not the time to pay attention to these things.

"How's it going? What's the gain?"

She didn't ask Sakurai Kogure if she caught her tongue. Isn't this kind of thing normal for Sakurai Kogure? She was just an eyeliner. If Sakurai Kogure still missed, it would only prove that Minamoto's eyesight was not good. .

As for whether there is any gain, it goes without saying. Sakurai Kogure's background, Fuso ninja, and the methods of torture under her hands are very good.

But unexpectedly, Sakurai Kogure shook his head.

Eriki hummed in confusion, pursed her lips, and waited for Sakurai Kogure's next words.

"I caught one with my tongue, but he moved very quickly and committed suicide before I could do anything."

Eriyi frowned.

"You mean..."

Sakurai Kogure nodded affirmatively.

"Death warrior."

Perhaps thinking that these two words were not strong enough, Sakurai Kogure added another sentence.

"The finest dead soldier."

Eriyi pondered.

Not just anyone can afford to raise a so-called dead soldier. You must train him from a young age to eliminate his humanity and implant the idea of ​​being absolutely loyal to someone, even if you die for him without hesitation.

It's just that, the point is the terrifying elimination rate. Training from a young age may eliminate a large number of people. Only one in dozens or even one in a hundred will be selected. Even if they become dead soldiers in the end, they will have to die in large numbers to perform the mission. In the final analysis, so-called Death soldiers are just some consumables, nothing more.

As the name suggests, the value of the consumables itself is extremely low. Generally speaking, the dead soldiers are barely qualified. There are no more than three families in the entire capital that can use the best dead soldiers to stalk the champion house.

"Madam, think again, did the Marquis say anything before?"

"There is always a reason why those big shots are targeting us."

Sakurai Kogure pondered.

"Since I took over Mr. Hou's intelligence network, I have checked it up and down many times, but I have never been able to find out who is behind the scenes."

"Targeting us like this must be because he had some quarrel with the Marquis."

"But there is no similar person in all the information."

"So, madam, please think about it again."

"Is there any information that the Marquis once told you but has not been recorded?"

Hui Liyi looked serious.

What her husband said to her...

Scenes of scenes came to mind.

Now that she has become a true divine descendant, she also has the ability to remember things like Lu Mingfei's photograph. Recalling the past is nothing to Eriki.

However, after looking at all the pictures carefully, Eryi made sure that she didn't miss anything.

But she just didn't find anything like what Sakurai Kogure described.

Eriyi shook her head.

"That's it."

Sakurai Kogure said.

"If it weren't for the grudges in the past."

"Maybe it's for some other reason."

As they said this, both of them could tell that Sakurai Kogure was completely trying to comfort themselves.

A great man who is willing to cultivate the best soldiers, how can he do things without rules?

They must have a purpose in stalking the champion Houfu.

The simplest thing is that the Champion House has what they want.

But what does the Champion House have?

The loss of a dead soldier indeed affected the other party.

In the next three days, the surveillance force around Champion Hou became smaller.

The strange thing is that instead of feeling relaxed, Eriki felt even more uneasy.

Obviously, the power of surveillance has been reduced.

But the net that has secretly enveloped the champion's house seems to be slowly tightening.

Speed ​​up, faster, faster.

Finally, it was time to explore the road for the third time.
