Wu Sheng Lu Mingfei of the Dragon Clan

Chapter 403 The So-Called Regret

After that, various news came.

Some people say that they met Champion Hou in the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

He and Hui Liyi held a bunch of candied haws and walked side by side on the stone road.

At night, Erika wrapped herself in a cloak and threw paper into the brazier.

Above is her graceful handwriting.

This was given to her older brother, Minamoto, by Erika.

She thought so, her elder brother liked Jiangnan so much, and Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingfei said that they must come and see it. Originally, Lu Mingfei also thought that after he returned to Fusang, Yuan Zhinv would go to Jiangnan for a walk, but he never thought that he was going to Jiangnan. The last moments of her life were all left to Erika.

Until the last three days before she died, Yuanzhinv was still telling stories to Erika every day, to accompany her to relieve her boredom.

So, Eliyi is now in the south of the Yangtze River, playing day by day, and when he returns, he writes down all the things he saw during the play, and then burns them to his elder brother and Yuan Zhinv.

Flipped through to make sure the last bit was burnt too.

Erika looked up at the starry sky and clenched her hands in front of her chest.

"He will definitely receive it."

Lu Mingfei put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's late at night, it's cold outside, lady, let's go back."

Erika lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, then smiled at Lu Mingfei.

Then she snuggled into her husband's arms like this and walked into the house.

"Tonight we said..."

Lu Mingfei told her a story.

A lamp on the table was as dim as beans, blurring the figures of the two of them.

Lu Mingfei's gentle voice became lower and lower.

So much so that it stopped completely.

He sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Erika's sleeping face, and put his hand on it, feeling cold to the touch.

The time the lady sleeps is getting longer and longer.

It used to take three or four stories to fall asleep.

Then I could barely listen to one.

Up to now, I fell asleep after listening to it.

In contrast, Erika's sleep time was getting longer and longer.

From four hours, to five hours, to six hours...

If this continues, will one day Erika fall asleep and never wake up again.

Lu Mingfei was secretly worried.

It's just that neither of them showed it in their daily relationship.

Lu Mingfei is still the peerless champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Erika was still the little girl she met for the first time that day.

There is no need for servants, only Lu Mingfei and E Liyi are enough to visit Dazhou.

With the champion around, naturally there is no need to worry about safety.

The route doesn’t need to be specially planned, just walk forward as you like. When Eliyi was tired, Lu Mingfei carried her on his back. The champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Ben, was born with supernatural powers, so it’s nothing to carry a woman on his back.

They sailed on the river, and there was a knight with a blade on the same boat. They talked about the sky and the sea, and finally, as always, they talked about the champion.

Several people were furious, this was not the first time, every time a knight-errant brought up Champion Hou, he would show such an attitude, as if that Champion Hou was really some kind of heinous villain.

"Nonsense~!"

A young man with an immature face clenched his fists, trembling all over his body.

"Champion Hou is not what you say!"

"He's a hero!"

"A real hero!"

Several knights lowered their faces, looked back and forth at the young man, and put their hands on the handle of the knife.

"Boy, which son of yours has a serious tone, really don't know how to write dead characters!"

"Today, I will discipline and discipline you for your adults."

As they spoke, they stood up fiercely and rushed towards the young man.

The young man had never seen such a posture before, his face turned pale with fright, and he closed his eyes.

The imagined pain did not strike.

The young man opened his eyes curiously.

I saw a good-looking man standing in front of me.

Those knight-errants who were still clamoring before have fallen into the water one by one.

This scene left a deep impression on his heart.

The knights, who were not yet powerful, are thumping in the water one by one at this moment, looking like dogs drowning in the water.

The handsome man in white squatted down.

"hero?"

He said.

"I said, little brother, how do you know that the champion is a hero?"

"Isn't everyone in the Jianghu saying that this is a devil who does all kinds of evil?"

These words immediately dragged the young man out of the sudden change.

Probably out of anger at being slandered by idols.

The young man was full of courage.

"Film! Nonsense!"

"how is this possible!"

"Champion Hou is not a villain!"

"He is an indomitable hero!"

"Oh?"

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows with interest.

For a long time, this was the first time someone dared to speak to him in this tone.

It's still a little radish head.

Of course Lu Mingfei would not argue with a child.

In fact, he took Erika around the world this trip, but he never made a move.

It is not once or twice to hear others discussing myself in a restaurant.

If it were someone else, other generals would probably have dispatched soldiers to arrest these so-called chivalrous men who spoke out loud.

Lu Mingfei just laughed it off.

On a person with a long mouth, why don't people talk about it?
Lu Mingfei knew that the mouth of Youyou in this world could not be blocked if he wanted to.

What's more, he, Lu Mingfei, is not gold, and he is not so exaggerated that everyone in this world must like it.

Knights hate and even hate him, but when ordinary people talk about Champion Hou, who doesn't give him a thumbs up and is full of praise.

For Lu Mingfei, this is enough.

It's just that the young man in front of him doesn't look like an ordinary person in his clothes, and he has a long sword at his waist. He seems to be the heir of some sect.

This is strange.

How could a man in the world keep saying that Lu Mingfei is a hero?

Little brother, are you worthy of your status as a member of the world?

"That's what Mr. Lu said!"

Young people are serious.

"Mr. Lu said that Champion Hou is the best hero in the world."

"The champion Hou must be a first-class hero."

"He repelled the barbarians on the frontier, and later solved the problems in the rivers and lakes. Although Champion Hou killed a little more people, he was really kind to the common people."

"So, Champion Hou must be a first-class hero!"

Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised.

Three years in the frontier, peaceful rivers and lakes, it seems that this so-called Mr. Lu knows me quite well.

"Here, have a cake."

"Little brother, tell me about Mr. Lu."

"Cakes... Humph, I don't eat them, what do you think I am, kid!"

"Okay, okay, don't eat or not, then for the sake of my action just now, how about Mr. Lu?"

"Your words are really unpleasant. Mr. Lu is a very powerful person, you must respect him! Respect you know!"

Although this young man was stubborn, he was still young after all, Lu Mingfei gave all the information about Mr. Lu without saying a word.

It's just... Lu Mingfei? The more he listened, the more familiar he became.

He frowned.

Suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind.

correct!

Mr. Lu, after listening to this description, the more he listens, the more he looks like Shi Bai Xiaosheng.

Wait, Bai Xiaosheng!

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

In order to find this person, Lu Mingfei did not know how many people were sent out. He never thought that he would finally find a clue here.

"Where is that Mr. Lu!"

Lu Mingfei grabbed the boy's shoulder.

"You tell me!"

Water Town, a place where you can tell it is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River just by its name.

Lu Mingfei and Huiliyi were both covered in mist, walking on the stone road.

Here it is.

Lu Mingfei stopped, looked up, and saw the words "Tongfu Inn".

From morning to dusk, Lu Mingfei sat in the inn all day.

My heart gradually started to whisper.

Could it be that the child lied to himself?

Didn't Mr. Lu work as a storyteller at the Tongfu Inn in Shuizhen?
Why did the storyteller see it at the end of the day, but it was not what the child described.

In the boy's description, Mr. Lu is a young man with a beautiful tree, he is even more handsome than a prince and prince, and the only ones who come to Tongfu Inn to listen to books every day are girls and girls.

This is quite different from the Bai Xiaosheng that Yuan Zhinv said.

In addition, Lu Mingfei could tell that although the so-called Mr. Lu was telling stories, most of the stories he told were true, and there were even many anecdotes about today's world, which even he, the current champion, did not know. I know, but after listening to it and thinking about it, I found many things that I couldn't figure out before, and it suddenly became clear.

Today is getting old, and the older people are, the more afraid of death they are, so they lose their will to forge ahead, and play the trick of balancing the court situation. Civil servants and military officials check and balance each other, and there are such and other methods, and then they study longevity alone. method.

But where does longevity come from in this world?
The storyteller, Mr. Lu, once told a story about an emperor who was desperate for longevity, and even did such things as alchemy with living people.

Lu Mingfei was vaguely uneasy. Bai Xiaosheng claimed to know the past and the future. Could it be that this emperor is talking about His Majesty today. Is it possible for the future to use living people to make alchemy?
After thinking about it, Lu Mingfei put it aside, he doesn't care about His Majesty, the real important thing is to find Bai Xiaosheng, maybe he has a way to cure Erikai.

It's just that I came to this water town and sat there for a day. The goatee storyteller bowed his hands and thanked him, but there was no trace of Mr. Lu.

Eriyi was already asleep, wrapped in a cloak, leaning on Lu Mingfei's shoulder with her eyes closed.

Sometimes Lu Mingfei would have an illusion, as if the lady on his shoulder was not a living person, but a cold rock.

There is no breath of life.

Lu Mingfei came to Shuizhen under the guise of a tour. For things like medical treatment, he returned with hope again and again, and returned with disappointment again and again. If there are too many times, no matter how hard-hearted people are, they will be discouraged and then despair .

Although he really didn't want to admit it, but to be honest, after so long and so many failed hopes, Lu Mingfei didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't believe it himself.

But it's fine for him to bear this kind of thing alone, there is no need to talk to Erika, it will only increase troubles.

Speaking of the countless nights when Lu Mingfei woke up from his dream, looking at Erika who was beside him as silent as a corpse, his heart felt cramped one after another.

This is his girl.

Also his woman.

Lu Mingfei once vowed to make Eliyi happy for a lifetime.

How did it become like this now!
Lu Mingfei hated his incompetence.

There is nothing more painful than watching the girl you love die day by day.

No.

Erika fell asleep for longer and longer.

Now it's twelve hours a day, and he can only be awake for two hours.

If it goes on like this, one day, Erika will fall asleep and never wake up again.

This is the completely foreseeable future.

It's just that Lu Mingfei and Eliyi never mentioned it.

Time is really too precious to them.

More precious than gold.

They seized every minute and every second of the two hours that Erika was awake, as if someone was driving a whip away from behind, they rushed on non-stop, one place and then the next.

There is an extra strange person in Dazhou, he always carries a woman wrapped in a cloak on his back, or carries a carriage with a coffin-like bed on it.

When Eriyi was sleeping, Lu Mingfei would do many things.

He draws, draws all the interesting things that happened in these ten hours, and shows them to Erika when she wakes up.

He studied cooking and created new dishes. Small potato shreds can also be used to make flowers, which looks like a royal tribute, and will be eaten by Erika after she wakes up.

It's just that Eliyi often doesn't want to move her chopsticks because these dishes are so good-looking. In the end, Lu Mingfei's painstaking effort can only be eaten cold.

Erika bowed her head pitifully to Lu Mingfei, with an aggrieved look of "I was wrong".

What else could Lu Mingfei do, of course he could only forgive her.

He learned how to make sugar figurines, string candied haws, and paper-cut. No one in this world would believe him if he said it. The champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the evil star in the eyes of countless knights in the rivers and lakes, this pair ended countless lives. Hands, and finally fiddled with paper-cut, but also such ingenuity.

Numerous times Lu Mingfei and Eliyi cuddled together, watching the starry sky, the sea, the flowers blooming at night, and the dew on the grass leaves in the morning.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole world did not exist, only the two of them were left, and the mere moment was as long as an entire eternity.

But that's just like, nothing more.

A moment is a moment, it is impossible for you to think it is eternity, it can stay forever.

On this day, Erika woke up from a long sleep.

She stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time.

Lu Mingfei called her his wife as usual.

Erika turned her head to the side and looked at him lightly.

Lu Mingfei smiled, and wanted to show her his paintings and tell her the interesting things that happened when Erika was sleeping.

Erika didn't listen.

She wanted to write, but Lu Mingfei refused, but this time Erika was very stubborn, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to obey her.

"How long have I slept"

Painted pear clothes to write.

"Ten hours."

Lu Mingfei said so, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

Erika stared at him for a long time.

"Open the window."

Painted pear clothes to write.

"Its daybreak."

Lu Mingfei's smile froze bit by bit.

Push open the window, and the light of dawn shines in.

Yes, there is nothing wrong.

Its daybreak.

Erika narrowed her eyes.

This time, she slept for eleven hours.

There are only twelve hours in a day.

Lu Mingfei covered his heart and let out a breath.

He was a little out of breath.

It was a real pain.

If a person closes his eyes, he never wakes up again.

Even breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature.

Can that still be considered alive?
"Husband."

Erika wrote.

"Let's go back to Beijing."

After all, they still failed to travel all over the world.

The world is too big and time is too short.

Perhaps this is the so-called life, one regret after another spliced ​​together, perfection only exists in the mouth of the picture book or the storyteller.

On the carriage going back, Huiliyi snapped her fingers and told Lu Mingfei one by one what was left to go.

Lu Mingfei hugged her.

Finally his girl raised her head, her eyes tender.

"Husband."

She wrote to Lu Mingfei.

"Can you promise me a request?"

"I promise."

Erika smiled slyly.

"Then it's settled. My husband is a real man, so you can't break your promise."

Lu Mingfei acted as if he just realized it.

"My lady, tell me what you want first."

"I don't care, my husband agreed anyway."

"No, it doesn't count."

"Oh, husband, are you trying to play tricks?"

The two quarreled for a while, and Erika quickly lost her strength, her body was too weak, she was just doing ordinary movements, she was already sweating all over without running or jumping.

She relaxed and put all her strength into Lu Mingfei's arms.

"Husband."

Erika played with Lu Mingfei's fingers and wrote on them.

"Ok?"

Erika paused for a long time, and finally wrote slowly one stroke at a time.

"In the future, I'm leaving. Please ask my husband to go to these places that I haven't had time to go to one by one."

Lu Mingfei trembled.

He laughed.

"What are you talking about, lady."

"I take you seriously."

"Walk?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Where can you go?"

Lu Mingfei's tone became more firm every time.

Even though he wasn't wearing a bronze mask at this moment, his aura was not at all inferior to that of the former champion Hou Shi.

Just say the same thing, the battlefield is iron and blood.

However, this kind of aura is just letting it go, the lady is still in his arms, Lu Mingfei is afraid that he will scare Eliyi.

He came to his senses.

Lu Mingfei finally realized that he was too emotional just now.

But this was the first mention of Erika's death between the two of them.

For Lu Mingfei, it was crueler than the harshest punishment.

Erika held his hand tightly.

"Husband."

It was obvious that she was also very uncomfortable.

If possible, who wants to be separated from his sweetheart forever?

"remember."

"You promised me."

"I never asked for it."

"It's the only one."

"So, you can't break your word."

"You can't lie to me."

She stared deeply at Lu Mingfei.

"promise me."

The carriage kept going, kept going.

Lu Mingfei felt that the road ahead was not the capital, but a cliff.

To devour both of them together.

This is really uncomfortable.

"it is good."

"I promise you."

The capital is the place where the two met.

They returned to the outer palace.

After getting married, although Eliyi has been living in Champion Hou's Mansion, the original Wai Wang Mansion also sent people back to clean it frequently.

When they opened the door, there was no stale smell as imagined, and the furniture had never accumulated dust.

The two walked from room to room.

Erika's face glowed, and she enthusiastically introduced here, here and here to Lu Mingfei, and introduced their respective stories.

She seemed to want to tell Lu Mingfei all about her past.

"Remember this window sill?"

"Well, how could I forget."

This is Eliyi's room. As for the window sill, it was the place where Lu Mingfei bid farewell to Eliyi the night before he left the capital.

Before leaving, Lu Mingfei left a letter.

"it is this."

Take out the painted pear clothes.

It was a letter left by Lu Mingfei back then.

She has been treasured to this day.

"Husband."

"I want to go there."

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei helped her, and Huliyi sat on the window sill, which was where Lu Mingfei sat all night that day, and now it was Huiliyi who was here.

She closed her eyes, smiled, and imagined what her husband looked like that night.

"It's like a dream."

"I can marry my husband."
