Chapter 211 The Overlord Insists on Using Me as Bai Yueguang’s Stand-in (99)
Lu Dong took the ticket Fei Lan left for her and boarded the passenger ship to Country F.
The ship was swaying on the sea. Looking at the endless sea, Lu Dong suddenly felt a sense of sadness as if he had died in a foreign land.
This time, she couldn't even see Ding Xueping.
Being forgotten is the fate of a spy.
A gust of wind blew, and the sea surface was stirred up by fine and dense waves, blowing the strands of hair on Lu Dong's forehead. She stared at the sea for a long time in a trance.
After arriving in Country F, Lu Dong went to the address given by Fei Lan.
They hugged each other tightly, looking like a pair of lovers who had been reunited after a long separation.
When the love reached its peak, Feilan panted in her ear, "My love, there is no force that can separate us. Sometimes I really want to tear off the wings behind you and let you stay with me forever."
Lu Dong looked at the ceiling and thought, if Feilan had always held an important position, the two of them would never be separated until death.
After the war, even though Country F was strong in all aspects, it had to accept the changes that the war brought to the country. The most obvious change was the fall of the old king and the rise of the new king.
Fei Lan, the former general, suddenly had some free time. He wanted Lu Dong to experience the culture of Country F and took her around to have fun all day.
Appreciate music, appreciate paintings, appreciate art, appreciate beauty.
Fei Lan stood in the Louvre and looked into Lu Dong's eyes. "When I first saw you in Luochuan, I was deeply attracted by your oriental temperament. What about you? Now that you see all this, are you attracted to me?"
When Lu Dong suddenly heard the words of confession, he did not feel happy, but rather a sense of fear.
What did Fei Lan know? Why did he ask such a question? Was her performance of love not real enough?
Lu Dong had no choice but to use a more direct way to please Fei Lan, and she used almost all the tricks she had learned.
But Feilan was getting thinner and thinner.
It was not until Lu Dong became pregnant that Fei Lan regained her former happiness.
He leaned close to Lu Dong's ear and said, "Children are treasures given to us by God. It's good to have a child. You will be by my side all my life, and I don't have to worry about you disappearing."
Lu Dong was suddenly shocked.
She waited until Feilan fell asleep, leaned close to Feilan's ear, and said to him, "Why are you worried that I will disappear?"
Feilan might have fallen asleep, mumbling to himself in broken sentences, "Dewdrops...can't see the sun..."
The child was Lu Dong's temporary protection. She was able to spend the whole day in Feilan's study reading the latest international news and weapon manufacturing methods.
Then it was sent back to China via telegram.
One day, Lu Dong and Fei Lan were buying flowers on the street. The flower girl refused to come to the front of the car, so Fei Lan had to push the door open and get out to take the flowers. Suddenly, there was a riot on the street. Lu Dong was keenly aware of the danger and subconsciously rushed to Fei Lan. The bullet hit her shoulder. It was excruciatingly painful.
Blood flowed from Feilan's palm.
Lu Dong felt tears falling on her neck. She looked up and saw that it was Fei Lan who was crying.
Feilan cried very hard, limping while holding Lu Dong, and drove to the nearest hospital.
"They came after me! This is my karma!" Phelan said.
Lu Dong weakly lifted his eyelids. What retribution was he talking about?
One day later, Lu Dong woke up and learned from John that the people who took revenge on Fei Lan yesterday were a group of parents who lost their children. Their children died in the Battle of Bazhou, and only Fei Lan survived. They regarded Fei Lan as the murderer.
This is retribution.
Lu Dong felt for a moment that she should also take her share of the retribution. She had blocked a fatal bullet for him, and that was what she deserved.
But then, she felt that her idea was ridiculous. As a spy, defeating the soldiers of Country F was part of her plan, so how could she say she owed them anything?
John then told her that the baby had been miscarried.
Lu Dong felt relieved, but his face showed great sadness.
If the truth is revealed in the future, she can die, but how will the child cope with it?
It would be better if I had never come into this world.
I saw Feilan again half a month later. One of them had injured his arm and the other had injured his leg. Only after they were put together could they become a normal person.
Fei Lan took Lu Dong home and said, "Don't rush in front of me next time. I can't accept the pain of losing you more than my own life."
"It was me who failed to protect our child." Lu Dong looked a little lonely.
"As long as you are alive, we will never be separated again." Feilan raised his head, as if talking to the sky.
Lu Dong thought to herself that Feilan's wish would definitely fail. As long as the organization sent a signal to retreat, she would flee back to Country Z as quickly as possible and never see Feilan again in her life.
Day after day, year after year.
Lu Dong never got pregnant again.
She was completely relieved and focused on researching the most advanced weapons manufacturing, and secretly sent the results of her research back to China.
The country was in great need of this information and even offered to let Lu Dong stay in Country F for a longer period of time.
After not seeing Dongya for a long time, Lu Dong herself also forgot where she came from. She could only stare at herself in the mirror for a longer time to remind herself of her homeland.
What Lu Dong did not expect was that a new war had begun. Less than ten years after the blond and blue-eyed Europeans withdrew from Z's land, another country in East Asia turned into a jackal and frequently invaded Z's northeast.
As a senior spy, Lu Dong was called back to China by a telegram from the organization.
——The enemy has changed, return home immediately and change your identity.
The war has begun again.
Lu Dong destroyed the telegram, feeling overwhelmed and unable to calm down for a long time.
She was naturally happy to be able to return to Country Z. But the arrival of a new war diluted her happiness.
She is leaving Phelan.
But will there be more Feilan waiting for her in the future? She doesn't know, and she doesn't dare to think about it.
The organization has already sent someone to pick her up, so she just needs to lie low and wait for the right time to leave.
During dinner, Ferran also looked worried.
"The war came too quickly, Dong. I can accompany you back to your country to meet your parents if you are really worried."
Regardless of their positions and nationalities, Ferran was really good to her.
But Lu Dong couldn't let go of these.
Lu Dong tried his best to calm Fei Lan down and rejected his request with all possible reasons.
She can leave after waiting for the contact person to arrive in Country F in three days.
She left early one morning, got up, took a look at Feilan's sleeping face, and left without looking back.
She left a note on the table, telling Ferran that she suddenly wanted to go to the morning market to see the fresh tulips.
……
Winter of 1921, Country F, Prison.
The young soldier saluted John, who had just been promoted to major. John did not show any happiness at the compliment on his face. He just said in a very calm tone, "Where is Feilan being held?"
"At the end of the prison, sir. His case has made the whole country excited. They hate such a traitor and want to rush in and gnaw his bones."
"I'm going to see him. You don't need to lead the way."
"Yes, sir."
After John left, the young soldier said to the people around him with a very knowing expression, "What good intentions can a person who stepped on his superior to get to the top have by visiting Fei Lan?"
Many people secretly criticized John for his cruelty, but praised him for his selflessness.
This is human nature, and it is the same no matter what country's cultural background it is in.
John walked through the dark and secluded prison, and finally saw a familiar shadow under the dim light.
"Phelan, you look terrible," John said.
Feilan stretched his body. There is no lynching under the law. Apart from the wounds on his body caused by the hard bread thrown by others, he was mostly emaciated by his longing and regret.
John said angrily, "I have completed what you asked me to do. I just don't know why you want me to collect evidence to report you. Originally, no one would know. You can hide the truth of the Battle of Bazhou for the rest of your life until you retire."
Not long ago, Fei Lan came to his house with all the evidence and wanted to report him. John was so angry that he pushed him to the ground and beat him up.
The person he had admired the most had actually made such a mistake! He had long said that Lu Dong was not that simple! Beware of everyone and everything in the enemy country!
John entered the army at the age of sixteen and has been with Phelan ever since, rising from the lowest level of soldier to a regular soldier. He knows Phelan's military talent better than anyone else.
Only later did he realize that this talent was not as good as his lover's.
Phelan did not answer John's question. He simply asked, "Did you bring the newspaper?"
John took out a newspaper from his pocket and passed it across the cell door. "As you said, I bought all the newspapers on the market."
Fei Lan couldn't wait to flatten the newspapers one by one and search through them one by one under the light on the wall.
It wasn't until I saw reports of the case in every newspaper that I felt relieved.
Reports in different countries were different. Some newspapers wrote: This is a scandal that shocked the world! Others wrote: This is truly a tragic love trap.
Whatever the description, Ferran can accept it.
Because all he wanted was one thing, he hoped Lu Dong could see the report, and he wanted to see her again.
Tears stained the newspaper that smelled of fresh ink, and Ferran sobbed quietly.
He really wanted to know whether his Lu Dong was still safe and sound, as the distant east was currently experiencing a raging war.
John saw Fei Lan's look at this moment, and suddenly realized that after Lu Dong disappeared, Fei Lan had applied for suspension and went to Country Z for a tour.
But Country Z was too big, and he didn't even see Lu Dong.
"You want to use this trial to force Country Z to hand over Lu Dong? You want her to stand on the stage with you to be tried? Then what? Country F's laws are invalid for Lu Dong! So you will be the only one who dies in the end! Only you! You are really crazy! Feilan!" John shouted anxiously.
John turned and walked away, deciding not to talk to this lunatic again.
Feilan went back to the single bed and lay down, holding a note tightly in his hand.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being discovered, Lu Dong left very few words for him.
Apart from a few photos, this note is all that's left.
Feilan curled up tightly like a little animal and whispered in a trembling voice, "I have planted tulips all over my house, so you don't have to go to the morning market to buy them anymore."
Since then, Ferran has not seen John again. He has lost the source of information and can only wait quietly for the final judgment.
At the final trial, when Ferran saw the empty dock, the last bit of hope in his eyes disappeared.
"Ferrand Bernard is suspected of leaking the country's top secrets, which led to the failure of the Battle of Bazhou. According to our country's laws, he will be executed by firing squad immediately."
The judge made a final judgment on Phelan's crime.
Fei Lan sighed. He was not afraid of death. After the Battle of Bazhou, he could often hear the sound of gunfire. The sins he committed finally came to be paid for.
But Lu Dong is not here.
I don't know if she is still okay.
Ferran knelt facing the cross, and gunshots were heard from behind.
The bullet penetrated his body, and the huge pain made him lose consciousness for a moment.
Faintly, Feilan seemed to see a very beautiful oriental woman, standing at the end of the bluestone bridge holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Her beauty is like a typical oriental painting, unfolding in the clouds.
At a glance, Fei Lan knew he saw Lu Dong.
The clouds and mist of Luochuan lifted his soul and slowly drifted towards the east.
……
In 1964, Country F.
When the smoke cleared, Country Z developed like a soaring dragon, and the speed of economic growth attracted worldwide attention. People from Country Z could appear anywhere in the world, and no one looked down on East Asian appearance anymore.
A woman with gray hair, elegant manners and a gentle expression was walking alone on the streets of Country F. A flower girl wanted to ask her if she wanted to buy flowers, but she racked her brains to think of a Chinese sentence.
It's a hello.
Lu Dong turned around, looked at the flowers in the flower girl's hand, and picked out a bunch of the freshest tulips.
"So you can speak F language." The flower girl was a little surprised.
It had been so long that she thought she would forget it, but how could she forget a language that she had studied so hard?
"Are you coming to Country F to look for someone?"
Lu Dong shook his head.
"Then you come here to travel! Where are you going? The Louvre? The Seine? The Eiffel Tower?"
These are not where she wants to go.
She just happened to think of an old friend and wanted to lay a bouquet of flowers at his grave.
Her story with Phelan shocked the world. The F government felt that this was a complete scandal and was unwilling to allow Phelan's grave to be placed in the cemetery for those who died in the war.
Feilan was eventually settled in his own house. The newly born F countrymen had few memories of the war, and their romantic blood made them sincerely admire what Feilan did. This house was even preserved as a tourist spot.
Lu Dong had a deep memory of the place where he had lived for six years. He only asked a few local residents and found this place that had been abandoned for decades.
When you open the door, you'll see tulips everywhere.
A breeze blew and the tulips swayed in the wind.
It never changes.

END
涉及章节有：167章（第一幕）、171章（第二幕）、177章（第三幕）、178章（第四幕）、211及212章（第五幕）。
The five-act script uses tulips to symbolize Fei Lan's love for Lu Dong. Quantified, one person is a bouquet, one person is a whole garden.
The change in their relationship can also be seen as the change in the relationship between Ni Fang and Xin Yuan. I admit that I am a person who likes to give fragmented information and let readers piece it together, so after reading this, it is actually most appropriate to go back and read the verdict given by Liu Yin (Chapter 182). What he said is also what I want to express through this story.
ps. There is a multiple-choice question in the book circle about new novels. Friends who are interested can go and do it. Thank you very much.
