Erika sat alone in the study.

Keeping an oil lamp.

She imagined that countless nights before, her husband was in the same position, troubled by her strange illness.

Now it's him.

Only when I really take responsibility can I taste it, which feels really uncomfortable.

So, what was the husband thinking at that time?

Erika had the next plan in her mind.

The reason for pretending to be sick again is that I can't drag it on any longer.

If outsiders find out that her husband is not there, it may be a violent storm waiting for the Champion Hou's residence.

So you must leave the capital before then.

I've also thought about where I will end up. It's in Fusang, and there is Sakurai Kogure's network. They want to hide in it, and outsiders basically don't want to find it.

Not even Da Zhou.

Speaking of which, fortunately, her husband found Sakurai Kogure, Erika didn't even dare to think about how she would support this situation without Sakurai Kogure and only by herself.

The study door suddenly opened.

Sakurai Kogure walked in with a chill all over her body.

Just as Erika was about to ask how the situation was going this time, her eyes met Sakurai Kogure's cold face.

Gordon groaned in his heart.

Erika knew that something bad must have happened.

Sakurai Kogure walked quickly.

She didn't even bother to close the door.

with a snap.

Sakurai Kogure rested her hands on the table.

She stared at Erika silently.

The eyes of the two met, and even without words, they already understood each other's thoughts.

Did it fail?

"Failed."

But eye contact will eventually give people the illusion.

Erika still held such a trace of luck in her heart.

She asked.

"Did you succeed?"

Sakurai Kogure shook his head slowly.

That movement was so sharp, as if all the possibilities and hopes were completely cut off.

Sakurai Kogure got the news.

This time, the pathfinders were wiped out.

Not a single one survived.

This incident has had a severe impact on them.

On the one hand, it is the loss of manpower. Those who go to explore the road are all first-class players. The loss of everyone is an extremely heavy blow to the champion Hou's mansion.

On the other hand, it is a security issue.

The entire army of pathfinders was wiped out, which meant that the road was blocked.

And that's just the surface of things.

Erika and Sakurai Kogure are most worried about being exposed.

Could the person behind the scenes have already guessed their plan to leave Beijing?
If they were guessed, what would he or they do?
This can be seen from the subsequent reaction.

The champion Hou's house is loose and dark, and is ready to deal with all changes in the situation at any time.

Even when Eliyi sleeps, there are weapons beside the bed.

Time just went by.

For three days, everything was calm.

For seven days, there was no movement.

The imaginary blow never came.

They never relaxed.

I just felt as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and the air was frozen to a suffocating level.

More and more people were following outside Champion Hou's mansion.

But even under such circumstances, a piece of news was successfully passed into the Hou's residence.

Just the content of the message...

"Sakurai!"

Erika took her opponent's hand tightly.

She was afraid that Sakurai Kogure would be impulsive, so she couldn't hold back, and rushed out to throw herself into the trap.

Obviously, the people behind the scenes are trying to provoke them.

Maybe it's because he's afraid of the champion.

Or maybe it's something else.

In any case, this is the aggressive method.

The obvious aggressive method.

And, very effective.

It's just that this method is too low-handed.

Yuan Zhinv's grave was dug up.

Isn't he a big shot?

Why is it so embarrassing.

Hasn't he heard of the truth that the instigator has no future?
This was after seven calm days, Erika and Sakurai Kogure were discussing the possible responses of the people behind the scenes, when someone came to report.

Yuan Zhinv's grave was dug up.

Cherry trees were also cut down.

There were messy footprints all around and even canine tracks were found inside.

But the bones of Yuanzhinv were not found.

Yuan Zhinv's bones are nowhere to be found.

After hearing the news, Sakurai Kogure was speechless for a long time.

"Sakurai, I think you also know that pure impulse can't solve anything, we can't be swayed by them."

"So, calm down, just a little bit, calm down."

"Then, whatever you want to do."

"Whoever you want to raise the battle flag to."

"I will accompany you."

This is not a scene, Erika thinks so from the bottom of her heart.

She asked herself, if the grave was dug up by her husband, how would she feel?

what will happen?

Erika herself would probably go crazy.

It was too painful.

Therefore, Erika can understand Sakurai Kogure.

And she is also very clear that finding the bones of Yuan Zhinv is more important to Sakurai Kogure than revenge.

However, under Erika's gaze, Sakurai Kogure shook her head slowly.

Erika's expression was mixed, and in her opinion, this might be a sign that Sakurai Kogure's grief was greater than her heart's death.

But this is not the case.

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

"I'm really sad, but not as bad as you think."

Sakurai Kogure even smiled.

The strange thing is that there is no force in this smile, if it is forced to say, it is probably relieved.

It's the kind of relief after hearing the thunderstorm, waiting for a long time, and finally, the heavy rain.

Seeing Erika still confused, Sakurai Kogure smiled and explained for her.

Probably from Erika's point of view, this matter is really strange.

The grave of the sweetheart was dug up, and the bones were missing. Not only was Yin and Yang separated, but even the peace of the sweetheart after death could not be guaranteed. This kind of thing is a huge pain for anyone.

That being the case, who is Sakurai Kogure now?
The reason is actually very simple.

"Master Hou, he has already made arrangements."

"Husband?"

He is also the owner of the complete divine blood, but Lu Mingfei is a natural son of God, and his specialness is far stronger than others.

Once he falls asleep, something extremely bad will happen, this premonition has also reminded Lu Mingfei non-stop.

So he made various preparations.

Among them, when he set his sights on Sakurai Kogure and was about to entrust her with the work of coordinating the overall situation, the bad future about Yuan Zhinv also appeared in his mind at the same time.

Therefore, when Sakurai Kogure left for the Champion's Mansion, the tomb of Yuanzhinv beside the cherry tree was already empty.

At that time, Sakurai Kogure didn't know the significance of Champion Hou's behavior.

There is even a little resentment in my heart.

Regardless of Dazhou or Fusang, it is not a good thing to relocate the grave at will. Disturbing the peace of the deceased is a taboo.



It was not until today that Sakurai Kogure really understood why the champion Hou insisted on doing this in the first place.

It must be uncomfortable to think about the person behind the scenes.
It is also possible to be so angry that you want to vomit blood. .

Things like digging graves have been done, but with little success.

"Then today's brother..."

"Don't worry, Champion Hou has arranged a very safe place. No one can disturb him."

"That's good."

Erika also breathed a sigh of relief.

But there is always a trace of solemnity between the two people's brows.

Because of Lu Mingfei's premonition, Yuanzhinv's grave was saved from disaster.

But this is not the end.

The people behind the scenes even did things like digging graves.

What else are they afraid to sit on.

It is conceivable that life in the Champion Hou's Mansion will not be easy.

However, I can't figure it out.

Erika and Sakurai Kogure discussed it countless times.

Never been able to figure out the identity of the person behind the scenes.

They also set up a bureau to try to attract this person to show up.

All ended in failure.

It was as if they had bumped into a mountain so big that even a glimpse of it, let alone a challenge,

Can't do it.

So, what is this mountain?

In fact, both Erika and Sakurai Kogure had guesses in their minds.

It's just that this guess is too incredible, even so incredible that even they can't believe it.

No need to think about it at all.

Looking at the whole world, there are no more than three people who can persecute the dignified Marquis Wu in this way.

Among them, the one with the greatest energy, the highest status, and the ability to support the most elite dead soldiers...

Probably only that one.

but.

As noble as him, why did he attack the champion.

Does Champion Hou have something that even he likes and must get?
Taking ten thousand steps back is good enough, but who is the champion, and who has been bloody on the frontier for three years, it can be said that without Lu Mingfei's efforts, whether Dazhou can still have the stable situation it is today is still uncertain.

People in the world only know that today's emperor favors the champion Hou Rong too much, but why does no one think about it, if there is no champion, would this world still belong to the current emperor?
Lu Mingfei's today is the result of his real fighting on the battlefield with one knife and one spear.

He deserved it.

But he is out of tune with this era after all.

Lu Mingfei once thought he deserved it, but in the eyes of others, it was the emperor's favor.

As long as the emperor values ​​it, no matter whether you are capable or not,

The power is in the hands of the opposition.

And once you lose the favor of the emperor.

It doesn't matter what Marquis Wu or meritorious deeds you are.

Everything can be made ancient with a handful of loess.

"Champion Hou, accept the order."

The eunuch who once greeted Lu Mingfei with a smile, now stands tall and arrogant, and doesn't even look at the bronze-masked general.

Be quiet for a long time.

From the eunuch's point of view, it was probably because Champion Hou was shocked by the sudden news.

Also normal.

No matter who it is, suddenly falling from the clouds to the dust, under such a huge drop, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

The majestic champion Hou, who was most favored by the emperor before, once fell down, did not talk about his errands, and was ordered by the emperor to study behind closed doors. This is already equivalent to house arrest in disguise.

The people around looked at the general in full armor, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Regardless of their relationship with the champion, the whole court had more or less admiration for this general who was enshrined in martial arts.

Speaking of His Majesty's will, no one understands. Has Champion Hou made any mistakes in recent days?Why did you suddenly lay down such a heavy hand?

After thinking about it, there is no reason, maybe I can only sigh with emotion, probably this is the so-called companionship is like a tiger.

The general with the bronze mask held the imperial edict with both hands.

he said.

"Sir, accept the order."

The eunuch snorted, said something indifferent, and after satisfying the vanity in his heart, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

"Master Hou."

He turned his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the general coldly.

"Your voice doesn't sound quite right..."

The champion is neither humble nor overbearing.

"I've been feeling cold recently, and Eunuch Lao is very concerned."

"Oh, wind and cold."

He didn't say anything, and took them away.

Back in the study, Erika took off her mask and was still in military uniform.

Together with Sakurai Kogure, she quietly stared at the Minghuang imperial decree.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, eighty percent."

"Eighty percent, that's not too low."

After another long silence, Erika said solemnly.

"In this way, the one who attacked us recently is the current His Majesty."

Even now, there is something absurd in their hearts.

Who is that, that is the Son of Heaven.

In the whole world, could it be the Son of Heaven of Wangtu?

He is already rich all over the world, why should he be so careful to test the Champion Hou's mansion, what treasure does the Champion Hou have in his hand, which makes the emperor envious?

Perhaps the answer to this matter is only known to the champion Hou Lumingfei himself.

But he was already sleeping in the ice jade coffin.

In the end, though, there's no need to think about that now.

The important thing is that His Majesty has already made a move.

Unless Erika is willing to catch her without a fight, and bring her husband with her.

Otherwise she will have to fight back.

But, do you want to rebel against the person with the greatest power in the world?

Even Sakurai Kogure was full of doubts.

Still painted pear clothes.

"Sakurai!"

"exist."

This was Sakurai Kogure's subconscious reaction.

Like a conditioned reflex.

She was startled when she said it.

I wondered what happened to my reaction just now.

However, soon, she understood.

That's because she felt a sense of familiarity from Erika Yi just now.

A sense of long-lost familiarity.

Glass between the winds.

At that moment just now, she seemed to see the shadow of Kazama Ruri on Erika's body.

Realizing this, Sakurai Kogure felt relieved.

Should it be said that they are brothers and sisters?

Erika had never seen Sakurai Kogure's inner thoughts at this moment.

She just categorically revealed her decision.

"Let all the hands that can move move."

"Get the carriage ready, I will take my husband with me."

She looked out of the window, the dark night was like the huge mouth of an unknown monster, trying to swallow the entire Champion Hou's Mansion, completely.

There are only a few sparse stars hanging at the end of the sky, shining tenaciously.

This is the only hope in the boundless darkness.

"Even if you break in hard."

Paint pear clothes.

"I also want to take my husband out."

Sakurai Kogure bowed in salute.

"Yes!"

They all understand that there is no way to force it, it is the worst and worst way.

But the situation today is as bad as it could get.

Think about it, what kind of monster they are standing in front of.

That is today.

Once he is given time to mobilize enough troops, even if Lu Mingfei wakes up, can he really lead them to escape?
So, even if there is no other way, you have to do it like this.

To avoid having long nights and dreams, the two decided to do it in three days.

Take Lu Mingfei and leave the capital.

"Oh, is that his reaction?"

"Your Majesty, from my point of view, whether this champion is really a champion is still debatable."

"It doesn't matter anymore, what I want has never been his champion."

"Master."

"The poor are here."

"You said that Qiqiao Linglong is a new medicine that can give you longevity. After all, how sure are you?"

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, ninety-nine percent."

"Ninety-nine percent? Hahaha! Ninety-nine percent!"

"Ninety-nine out of ten!"

"Since that's the case, I'm going to decide on that goddess' exquisite new seven orifices."
