Chapter 408 Leaving Beijing

"Madam, someone is coming."

"I won't see any visitors these days. Come back."

"that……"

"What, is there a problem?"

"The person coming is...Marquis Weiwu."

Eriki looked up in surprise.

Mighty Marquis...

Naturally, this name is familiar to her. Her husband's father was a military honorary who was awarded a military title.

It's just that he and his husband have always been at odds, and today this is...

These days, the champion prince has lost his honor and favor, which has caused a stir in the capital. Everyone knows that this upstart of the Great Zhou Dynasty has almost come to an end. It would be the utmost kindness not to step in and step on him at this time. As for this mighty prince, , I heard that Lu Mingfei didn’t even send her a bride price on their wedding day. They haven’t had any contact with each other for many years since Lu Mingfei returned to Beijing as a champion, but they came to her door in such a bleak situation today. It really makes people have to think more.

After pondering for a long time, Eryi finally nodded and invited the people of Marquis Weiwu to enter the study.

No matter what, this person is Lu Mingfei's blood relative. No matter how much he blocks the door directly and doesn't even give him a chance to say a word, it really doesn't make sense.

However, when this visitor from the mighty Marquis Mansion spoke his first words, Sakurai Kogure's expression changed instantly as he stood aside.

On a dark and windy night, people are killing people and setting fires.

A group of dark shadows quietly moved towards the champion's mansion.

After a few strange bird calls, the shadows covered each other and climbed into the wall of the champion's mansion.

The operation went surprisingly smoothly.

All the way to the study and bedroom of the Champion House.

They didn't meet any decent resistance.

Even, to be precise, there was no resistance at all.

In the huge champion house, servants were walking around like weaving, and lanterns were swaying under the eaves, which contrasted with the lanterns in the hands of the servants.

Under the seemingly lively and prosperous surface, there is actually a lot of slackness.

The shadows didn't even see a patrol.

The planned outposts and hidden outposts seemed to exist only in the plan. In this real champion's mansion, not to mention sentries, not even ordinary patrollers could see them.

But that doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense.

What kind of person is the champion, and how could his mansion be so lax.

Therefore, when the shadows found that no matter in the study or the bedroom, they could not find the champion Mrs. Hou Ji.

They were not surprised at all.

Instead, my heart was filled with relief.

That's right, that's the only way it makes sense.

This is the standard a champion should have.

Soon, a piece of news quickly flew to Minghuang Palace.

"The eagle is not in the nest."

The old eunuch took off the note from the carrier pigeon's leg, looked at it, and hurried to the room.

Just a moment later, another piece of news came out.

There are only three simple words on it.

"catch him."

…………

"How much longer?"

"Madam, we can reach the next city before dawn."

Hui Liyi lowered the car curtain.

Sakurai Kogure, who was opposite her, comforted her, and Eriki responded, her eyes always falling on the ice jade coffin beside her, looking at her husband's sleeping face through the transparent coffin lid.

The carriage is very stable. This is the driver they specially found. He is a strange man who has lived in seclusion for many years.

Back then, Lu Mingfei went to Pingjianghu. Although his original purpose was to find Bai Xiaosheng to find a chance for Huiliyi, in the process, he also gained a great reputation in the world, and his nickname was Yama Luo in the court. Maybe it's not worth mentioning, but in Jianghu, it can still barely stop a child from crying at night.

Although Jianghu has its shortcomings, it must be said that there are still quite a number of strange people and strange things. In terms of boxing and kicking skills, they may not be as good as the so-called knights, but in their respective areas of expertise, they are all unique in the world. Achievements.

Except for the driver, even their carriage itself was made by strange people. Otherwise, even the royal craftsmen in the palace would not be able to make such a high-speed creation that would not shake at all. .

So much so that Eriki and Sakurai Kogure could no longer hear any other sounds except the howling night wind outside the car.

And the boring wind is the most likely to make people daydream.

Eriyi's thoughts couldn't help but wander far away.

She remembered the envoy from the mighty prince whom she had met not long ago.

No.

He is the mighty lord.

At that time, Eryi was really surprised. She thought that Marquis Weiwu sent someone here, but she never thought that the one he sent was actually himself.

So the question is, is there anything worth doing by Marquis Weiwu himself?

Sure enough, what Marquis Weiwu said later proved it.

"Leave tomorrow."

"I will assist you."

Thinking about it now, Eri Yi is still scared.

Who would have thought that today, even if he couldn't wait for more than a day and a half, one side would dismiss the champion Hou Yiying from his post, and the other side would be ready to take action without giving anyone any chance to breathe.

If there had not been a reminder from Marquis Weiwu, and according to Eriki and Sakurai Kogure's plan to leave the capital in a few days, they would have been caught off guard today.

However, this level was passed, but the mystery in Eryi's heart could not be solved. Why did Lord Weiwu remind them?

What is the relationship between him and his husband?

Is it because they turned against each other as rumored by outsiders, or is there some hidden secret behind this that ordinary people cannot know?

These mysteries are certainly worth pondering, but now is not the time to ask them to think about them.

They are still on the run.

Today's emperor's will is very determined, and he has a sense of not giving up until he achieves his goal.

He sent a large number of men in pursuit.

Marquis Weiwu never broke his promise. He sent his own men, together with the people from the Champion Marquis' Mansion, to stop the pursuers.

If it weren't for his help and relying solely on the strength of the Champion Hou Mansion, the pursuers would have caught up long ago.

However, no matter how elite they are, they are still just two Wuhou. Although their combined strength is considerable, how can they compete with His Majesty today?

The manpower will eventually be exhausted.

On a dark night, in the wilderness, a carriage was in front of it, and several horses were chasing it like lightning.

Sakurai Kogure grabbed the Kodachi.

"I go!"

He was only halfway up.

Eriki held her shoulders.

"Watch your husband and leave them to me."

This was a decision made by Eriki, as evidenced by her tone of voice and the strength of her hands.

Sakurai Kogure looked at her deeply.

"good."

A man in red clothes jumped out of the carriage.

The carriage continued to roll forward.

Only Eriyi was left standing there.

Strange things happened.

Eriki was still thinking about how she could hold off the pursuers and buy time for her husband to leave.

But it turned out that this kind of thing didn't require him to think at all.

When the pursuers saw that it was her, not the champion, who jumped out of the carriage, their eyes were filled with bright light. They stopped their horses and circled around Eriyi.

They actually completely ignored the departing Champion Hou and focused all their attention on the red-dressed Champion Hou's wife.

Huiliyi suddenly had a clear understanding in her heart.

Their target is not their husband, but... herself.

That is to say.

The one who made today's emperor frequently attack the champions, the one who even the rich emperor was jealous of, was her Hui Liyi.

In the past, Eryi might have felt guilty, and even had the thought that if it weren't for her, her husband wouldn't be in the situation he is in today.

But Eri Yi today is not the same as before.

Everyone in the world knows that the champion is a true hero who does not care about life and death. Words like greed for life and fear of death seem to be insulated from Lu Mingfei from birth. However, in order to survive in the end and meet Eriyi, Lu Mingfei created for himself The ice jade coffin and other means of extending life are unknown. He looks like a little person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

But in the final analysis, is Lu Mingfei afraid of death?

no.

What he was afraid of was not death, but not seeing Eri Yi.

What I'm afraid of is that I can only walk through life alone in the future.

He couldn't bear it.

Since the husband can live hard for himself.

Then he can also paint pear clothes.

Eriyi will not give up until the end of the road.

These pursuers are all soldiers carefully trained by the Zhou royal family.

Each of them is a master capable of causing a bloody storm in the world.

Now they formed a charging formation, and their target was only a woman in red.

This scene is so weird.

But both the woman and the pursuer looked normal, even solemn.

As the parties involved, they themselves did not think there was anything strange about this scene.

Because, an even weirder scene will take place in the next moment.

The woman in red opened her mouth.

This is like a chanting gesture.

But not a single sound came from the woman's mouth.

So what is she doing?

The answer was soon revealed.

First, there are horses. These creatures are running at full speed. The blood in their bodies is already flowing at high speed. At this moment, under the influence of some unknown force, the flow rate of these blood suddenly accelerates and they appear violent. The horses' steps are disordered and their eyeballs are bloodshot. After that, not only the eyeballs, but also the ears, nostrils and mouth, blood flowed out continuously, and then the skin also oozed blood. The horse, which could not run for a few steps, but could run thousands of miles, fell down like this, breathing out more than it took in. If you have little energy, you will soon die.

The pursuers were well-trained, and they immediately turned over and landed as soon as their mounts fell.

But what happened to the horses soon happened to them.

Soon, each of the pursuers turned into bloody men.

They fell to the ground one after another.

Until the last person.

He looked at his companion who had fallen to the ground and had lost all vital signs.

Look again at the woman in red in the center of the encirclement.

She was slowly closing her mouth.

The last person felt relaxed all over.

The feeling that he couldn't explain clearly, but was indeed an extremely uncomfortable experience, just disappeared.

At this moment, he still didn't understand that the inexplicable deaths of his companions and the horrific situation that happened to him were all caused by the hands of the woman in red in front of him.

The champion Mrs. Hou is also the target of their operation.

He still had a breath left, but there was only one breath left. Although the Champion Madam had closed her mouth, whether it was a magic spell or something else, she had closed her mouth and stopped working.

But the impact caused before is still there, and it is hard to recover.

This last man's pursuer has vitality like a candle in the wind and may die at any time.

As he was dying, he saw the woman in red walking towards him.

Eriki stopped in front of him.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

The man smiled sadly.

He mustered up his last strength and painted pear clothes with one finger.

"Witch!",

After that, he tilted his head, opened his eyes wide, and left like this.

Eriki looked at him quietly for a long time.

A witch? ,

It's been a long time since I've heard it called that.

Ah. ,

Eriyi didn't take it to heart.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what this person said. Goddess or witch may sound very different, but aren't they essentially the same existence?

They are all different from ordinary people.

In addition, Eriyi now possesses complete divine blood, and the various supernatural powers displayed by her are as if they are just like the legendary magic to those who don't know the inside story.

Generally speaking, the special features of each divine descendant are different.

Similar to Lu Mingfei's natural divine power, although Eriyi's strength has increased to a considerable extent after replenishing her bloodline, it cannot be compared with Lu Mingfei's talent, even though Eriyi is now far beyond ordinary people. , but if she was asked to fight Lu Mingfei one-on-one, the final result would probably be Eryi's loss.

Even this 80% is still due to Eri Yi's special ability.

It was the ability to kill the pursuers just now.

When Eriki opened her mouth, she actually made a sound, but the sound was beyond the range that ordinary ears could receive, so it had some special power, such as causing resonance.

This is Eri's ability.

She discovered it when she accidentally shattered a glass lamp one day.

Later, after exploring step by step, I got a detailed understanding. ,

Sometimes Eriki also thinks that maybe this is some kind of compensation. She has been unable to speak for more than twenty years because of her incomplete bloodline. When the bloodline is completed, the abilities she gains are related to voice.

It's just a pity that Eri Yi's common sense questions in the end were fruitless.

It turns out that today’s target is myself?

she thinks.

Eriyi looked into the distance, and for a while, the next wave of pursuers could not come.

Finally I can take a breath for a while.

…………

"Did you hear that the champion has rebelled?"

When everyone in the court was still discussing the champion Hou who was thinking behind closed doors.

A piece of news spread throughout the capital.

The champion rebelled.

I don't know how many people's eyes would pop out in shock.

The champion... rebelled!

The most powerful champion in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The champion who returned to Beijing and was granted the title of Marquis and paraded through the streets on horseback!

He rebelled!

This is...you're kidding!

But the champion Houfu who has affixed the seal cannot do anything fake.

The official documents of sea arrests in the streets and alleys cannot be faked.

No matter how shocked or unbelievable it is, there is no room to reverse what has happened.

Champion Hou really rebelled.

Gradually, some rumors began to spread.

People say that the champion Hou is born with supernatural powers, but in fact he is a monster, and he was born into the world just to fight the Great Zhou Dynasty of Cholera.

Otherwise, why would there have been a military disaster the year Champion Hou was born?

Why have wars continued in the Zhou Dynasty for more than twenty years?

After careful analysis, it soon became clear that most of the natural and man-made disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty over the past twenty years could be attributed to Lu Mingfei.

Looking at their attitude, they even wished that the widow next door knocked on the door at night and said it was the champion.

I have to say, this public opinion is really terrifying.

From a great hero admired by the world to a street rat despised by everyone.

It only takes a few days.
