Chapter 404 Save the Lady
Erika fell asleep on the swing.

This is where the two met for the first time.

Lu Mingfei supported her shoulders from behind.

Looking at Erika's sleeping state.

This time he didn't prepare a story, but prepared to turn it into a story.

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

Day breaks, the sun goes from east to west, and night falls again.

The capital wakes up and goes back to sleep.

After eleven hours passed, Erika finally woke up.

She blinked with difficulty, everything in her vision gradually changed from blurred to clear, and Lu Mingfei's smiling face came into view.

"Good morning, lady."

Erika smiled lightly.

Until now, every time Erika woke up, it was like a gift from heaven.

So they should be cherished doubly.

"Come on, lady."

"I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Mingfei helped him with his Eli clothes.

They are walking in the deserted streets.

The shops on both sides are closed, and there are two lanterns hanging from the eaves, shining faintly.

What is strange is that there is an inn still in business at the end of this deserted street.

They stood at the door, Eliyi looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, Lu Mingfei nodded with a smile.

"Go in, lady."

There are many people in the lobby, eating pastries, drinking tea, or chatting with friends at the same table, or drinking by themselves to enjoy themselves. Here, Lu Mingfei and Eliyi came in and found an empty table to sit down. No one noticed, only a few people around cast their gazes.

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

Xiao Er bent over with a smile on his face full of joy.

Erika looked at the surrounding environment curiously, tables, chairs, benches, people of all colors, etc.

She finally reacted.

Lu Mingfei once told Eriya that in the past when he was young, there were no champions at that time, and there were only dandy young masters who were famous in the capital. Apart from fighting with other dandy young masters, Lu Mingfei My favorite thing to do is to come to an inn and listen to stories.

Come to think of it, this should be the inn that my husband often mentioned.

Erika compared everything she saw with Lu Mingfei's description, and was surprised to find that they all corresponded one by one in the end.

Thinking of how many years ago, the young husband used to sit here, and a pot of tea and a stack of snacks could kill half a day, and the corners of Erika's lips curled up unconsciously.

"Miss."

Lu Mingfei called her.

"It's about to start."

A gavel sounded.

In front of the crowd, there are tables, chairs and folding fans, and the elderly storyteller spreads them out.

"It was mentioned in the last book that the Champion Hou and the Demon Sect Saintess..."

Lu Mingfei's smiling face froze immediately.

He rolled up his sleeves angrily.

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

"Alright!"

"If I don't beat him out of last night's dinner!"

"My surname is not Lu!"

What he said was fierce, Lu Mingfei didn't get up for a long time, Huiliyi didn't know who her husband was, how could the champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty get angry because someone arranged for him, but after all, it was her husband, Huili Yi still pulled Lu Mingfei's sleeve in a face-saving manner, and sure enough, Lu Mingfei said it quickly.

"I can't help it. Since you have stopped me, my lady, I must listen to you. I will not remember this person as an adult, and I will not be as knowledgeable as him."

Then Lu Mingfei talked to Eliyi quite seriously.

"Storytelling, it's just storytelling, lady, you must not take it seriously, it's all made up by others."

Erika nodded earnestly, as if she was saying that she knew everything, she knew it all.

The kid served tea, Lu Mingfei tasted a piece, frowned, and said to Eliyi.

"It's not as delicious as it used to be, it's a bit sticky."

Erika also tasted a small piece and laughed.

"Not bad."

The two people under the table held hands together, and Eliyi wrote in Lu Mingfei's palm.

The storyteller's story continues.

What is gratifying is that although this person arranged the champion, he still knows the basics and there is no excessive description.

Lu Mingfei commented on Huiliyi, 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 engrossed in listening, and their emotions fluctuated with the storyteller's story. Some clenched their fists unconsciously, and some even held their breath.

"Is it the same back then?"

Erika asked.

"Back then."

Lu Mingfei recalled.

"Almost, not much difference."

An hour is coming soon.

Erika's eyelids began to fight, and she leaned limply in Lu Mingfei's arms.

"Good night, lady."

Erika smiled, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

After Erika fell asleep, in the bustling inn lobby, it was as if time had stood still. Each person put away the expression on his face and got up quietly, his actions were full of traces of well-trained.

"General."

"Go back."

"Yes."

The person dressed as the second child clasped his fists and saluted.

At this time, how could there be an inn open? I also know that there is something strange here. The people present, from the diners to the waiter, are all people from the world that Lu Mingfei recruited. It is useless to find ordinary soldiers for this kind of thing. , the evil spirit is too heavy, no matter how pretending it is, it will leave traces, it is more appropriate to call people from the rivers and lakes, the so-called art industry has specialization.

Speaking of which, if this matter gets out, and people know that Champion Hou has put in so much effort for his wife, they will be envious of many women.

One person walked out in silence, the champion Mrs. Hou was already asleep, and no one dared to make a sound to disturb her.

"correct."

Xiao Er turned around.

"What is the general's order?"

"The storyteller, how did you say that?"

This time, all kinds of arrangements have already been made, what everyone should do and what not to do, there is a draft in Lu Mingfei's mind, it should be foolproof, but there are mistakes and omissions.

It's the storyteller.

What was prepared was a happy story about the young couple staying together, just to tell Erika to tell her not to think too much.

How can I say that the scribe changed it privately.

"Wait a minute, general, I'll go look for him right now."

"Ah."

Not long after, Xiao Er led the storyteller over.

He looked terrified, shrunk his neck, lowered his head deeply, and didn't dare to look at Lu Mingfei.

As soon as Lu Mingfei's eyes stopped on him, he revealed a thoughtful look.

"You go down."

"Yes."

Xiao Er bowed and stepped back.

Before leaving, I consciously closed the door of the lobby.

Only Lu Mingfei and the storyteller are left here.

"Okay, if you have something to say, speak up."

The storyteller was at a loss.

"What are you talking about, my lord, I can't understand you, my little one."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

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

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

"Say, who are you?"

After Lu Mingfei said these words, the storyteller really responded.

His stooped body straightened, and he stopped shaking, 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 told Lu Mingfei storytelling back then.

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

Lu Mingfei has good eyesight.

The storyteller used some means to disguise himself before, to make himself look older, but how could this be hidden from Lu Mingfei's eyes, and he was quickly seen. In the past so many years, the appearance of the storyteller has never been the same. Change.

"Say, who are you?"

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei frowned suddenly.

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

Those anecdotes in the deep house and compound are not known to just anyone.

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

"Are you Bai Xiaosheng?"

The storyteller showed a rather surprised expression.

He hurriedly handed over.

"Dare not to 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 him.

He just told Lu Ming the wrong way.

"It's not the young one who is looking for Master Hou, but someone else who is looking for Master Hou."

"I'm just helping with a message."

"Oh?"

Lu Mingfei was not interested.

"Who asked you to bring it?"

The storyteller smiled.

he said.

"Lu Mingze."

Lu Mingfei's expression turned cold.

Is this person playing himself?

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

Later, he also used this seal.

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

Why, I bring the words to myself, am I still unclear?

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

"It's also Bai Xiaosheng."

"Ok?"

Lu Mingfei stared.

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

The person who brought him the message was Bai Xiaosheng.

That's right, Lu Mingfei remembered that the young man he met by chance not long ago, the Mr. Lu he mentioned, was quite different from the rumored Bai Xiaosheng.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, isn't that Lu Mingze?

It's a pity that when I rushed to Shuizhen in a hurry, that Mr. Lu had disappeared.

Had no hope.

But he never thought that now this Bai Xiaosheng would jump out by himself.

wrong.

This person 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 his eye on him as early as ten years ago.

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

Although the news about the Wai Wang Nu caused the capital to stir up excitement at that time, the pretentious rumors did not arouse Lu Mingfei's interest.

So, why did this Bai Xiaosheng come to me?
Such thoughts appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind.

He didn't think much of it.

Because the answer has already come to your door.

The storyteller handed over a note.

"The words have been brought, Lord Hou, the little one is one step ahead."

He arched his hands, turned and left.

Lu Mingfei glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the note.

The opening sentence firmly attracted Lu Mingfei's mind.

"Brother, I suppressed it."

elder brother?

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

And the time is not right.

The legend of Bai Xiaosheng walking the rivers and lakes has been passed down for a long time. The earliest record of witnessing this person can be traced back to a year ago.

Even if he can run, jump, and talk when he was born, he must be at least 60 years old.

So, what does Bai Xiaosheng mean by calling me brother?
Lu Mingfei continued to look down, and quickly threw all these doubts to the sky.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence of this person will be...

"Brother, do you want to cure Erika?"

"The method is actually very simple."

"Brother doesn't need to find an antidote at all."

"Because."

"Brother, you are the antidote."

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

One clue after another is connected in series.

Erika's strange illness is due to her incomplete divine blood.

The only way to cure her is to exchange blood.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on Erika's daughter Yuanzhi who had the same father and mother.

But Yuanzhinv's divine blood is not complete.

He couldn't protect himself, and there was no way to change Eliyi's blood.

Lu Mingfei was trapped here.

The world is so big, where can I find a perfect Son of God?

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

But he ignored himself.

Yes.

Lu Mingfei recalled the classics he was reading in Fusang, which contained descriptions about the Son of God and the Goddess.

At that time, he still felt familiar, because he remembered the description in Dazhou Daozang, and he was still feeling that Shenzi and Goddess were not only unique to Fusang, but also existed in Dazhou.

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

Aren't the characteristics of these so-called sons and goddesses exactly in line with themselves?

Bai Xiaosheng, who claimed to know 500 years before and 500 years after, said that Lu Mingfei was the antidote.

Then it should be right.

His hands trembled uncontrollably.

Not fear, not nervousness.

is excited.

He was so excited that the champion Hou couldn't control himself.

Lu Mingfei bowed his head, and in his arms was the sleeping Eliyi.

He raised the corner of his mouth.

Gently smoothing out Eriyi's long hair.

"very nice."

Lu Mingfei and Eliyi returned to the Champion Hou's Mansion.

The news spread throughout the capital overnight.

When they were thinking of visiting, they were surprised to find that the Champion Hou's Mansion had closed its doors to welcome guests.

This is the time that belongs exclusively to Lu Mingfei and Eriyi.

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

An indescribable feeling.

But she was sure that something must have gone wrong.

The husband has changed.

Even in the past, he still smiled every day and looked very happy.

But Erika could feel her husband's heart sinking into a bottomless abyss.

Lu Mingfei's neixin is hopeless.

Even to the point of despair, Erika didn't 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 she is very willful, it is also good to have a goal and a meaning to live.

It's just that Lu Mingfei has changed recently.

It was after listening to the book from that day.

Eliyi found out that Lu Mingfei had changed.

On the surface, he looks no different from before.

But Erika could feel it.

Lu Mingfei's dead heart began to beat again.

Like a fire rekindled from the burnt ashes.

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

But... what could it be?

Of course Erika hoped that Lu Mingfei was working hard because of merit or something else.

But she knows her husband too well.

Eliyi is very aware of the weight she has in Lu Mingfei's heart.

It can make Lu Mingfei start fighting again, but she can't think of any other reason except for herself.

But I know my own illness.

Does your husband really have a cure?
And, it's weird.

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

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

This made Erika baffled.

There was still a vague uneasiness in her heart.
