The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue State Official Road

Good times are always fleeting. In the blink of an eye, it was evening and fiery red clouds covered half the sky.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all gathered by the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery. There won’t be too many moments like this, so you have to enjoy them while you can.

Ye Ling spoke slowly: "Morning glow doesn't allow you to go out, but evening glow can travel a thousand miles. These fiery red clouds mean tomorrow will be another sunny day. I like sunny days."

"I like it too." Su Su leaned on Ye Ling's shoulder again. No matter what the other person thought, she accepted this sister and would never change in her life.

"Gee... gee..." The hurried sound of urging horses made everyone look back curiously.

Seeing a lone rider galloping past on the official road, Meng Jing muttered, "He's running so fast, must he be in a hurry to be reincarnated!"

"Express delivery to the border, 800 miles away," said Youminglang.

"This is what 800-mile express delivery is like!" Ye Ling saw it for the first time.

"Maybe something happened on the border again. Alas, in the current court of Cang Yue Kingdom, only the Leng family is still holding on. The rest are busy fighting for power. Who will really consider the country?" Mo Yufeng sighed. After all, he is also a citizen of Cang Yue Kingdom.

Ye Ling was pondering another question: "Senior Brother, Brother You, tell me, there was only one person on the 800-mile express journey, so why didn't the bandits rob him?"

"Rob him?" Meng Jing had the final say: "What are you after? His tattered clothes, or the annihilation of his entire clan?"

"The words are rough, but the logic is sound," Mo Yufeng agreed. "Let me explain this to you. 800-li express is usually used to deliver urgent military intelligence or important court documents. The people who do this job are strictly selected by the court or the princes. They may not be top masters, but they can all be called masters.

So, before robbing, the robbers have to consider whether they have the ability to do it. Besides, how many people can keep up with the speed of 800 miles per hour? Moreover, most of them take secret official roads and pass through secret post stations. They rarely take such a big official road.

Secondly, there's no need to rob. He was just a messenger and didn't have much money. Finally, the consequences of robbery are very serious. The news sent by the 800-li express is either about an incident at the border or a rebellion by the prince. This is a matter of national importance. If you rob it, you will be wiped out by the entire nine clans. The area between the two post stations where the postman disappeared will be barren, and you can even dig up earthworms in the ground. In short, wherever the 800-li express disappeared, that place must disappear. All the people and officials will be arrested and interrogated. If you rob in the morning, you will be surrounded and suppressed by the army in the afternoon.

Ye Ling nodded: "Actually, you don't need to explain so much, I just asked casually."

"I'm trying to tell you common sense. Let me tell you, even if the postman hasn't arrived yet, the carrier pigeon from the previous post station has already arrived at the next post station. The next post station will be prepared to pick you up in advance, so if something happens and no one is around, the next post station will immediately send someone to meet you. At the same time, they will inform the previous post station of the situation, and the two post stations will search the middle section of road inch by inch." Mo Yufeng explained so much because he was afraid that his junior sister would take a wrong turn one day and draw the attention of others who were rushing for 800 miles.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't worry, I won't rob the 800-mile express. You can tell I'm a poor guy just by listening to me," Ye Ling said.

Meng Jing perked up when she heard this: "Sister Ye, you want to be a bandit? With your skills, you can definitely intercept something big. I can give you some advice. I know what can be intercepted and what is okay to intercept."

"Really? Then tell me, what's the problem with cutting it off?"

"Birthday gifts sent by officials from various places to the imperial family and ministers can usually be intercepted. The money comes from illegal sources, so they dare not conduct a large-scale investigation even if they intercept it."

"Oh~" Ye Ling nodded: "Is this how your family got started?"

"Hehe..." Meng Jing smiled awkwardly: "That's probably it. Well, let's not talk about this topic anymore. Let's not talk about it anymore."

"Let's go to bed without further ado. We'll get up early tomorrow and set off on our own." Ye Ling stood up.

The others also stood up, and Mo Yufeng said, "You guys go to sleep first, Jiuyou, you stay for a while."

Jiuyou sat down again: "Brother, is there something wrong?"

"Um..." Mo Yufeng glanced at the people walking away and whispered, "Have you read the book I gave you?"

Jiuyou immediately stood up: "I threw it away, brother, if you don't have anything serious to do, I'll go to bed first."

"Sit down!" Mo Yufeng pulled him down again. "You are indeed a blockhead. You are in your twenties, how can you still be so blockhead? I told you long ago that you are a man. You can't be afraid to take the initiative just because your junior sister is strong. If you don't take the initiative, don't cry when someone takes advantage of you."

Jiuyou looked at Mo Yufeng with disdain: "Brother, I'm not you. Living with my sister-in-law before getting married, you are... this is disrespectful."

Mo Yufeng folded his hands over his chest and nodded with a smile: "Sure! Jiuyou, it's not that you don't know how to do it, it's that you feel it's not right, right?"

"I'm going to bed." Jiuyou still blushed easily and left quickly.

Mo Yufeng stood up and caught up with Jiuyou. The two walked side by side. "Okay, I agree with what you said. So when do you plan to get married?"

"Senior sister said she won't get married before she turns 30."

"Oh my god!" Mo Yufeng shook his head. "Jiuyou, Jiuyou, you...she said she doesn't want to get married. Are you planning to wait until Junior Sister turns thirty before breaking the window paper?"

"No matter what time it is, I will respect her choice and will not go against her wishes. I can wait for thirty years, not to mention ten."

"Thirty years, let me do the math. In thirty years, you'll be in your fifties. Okay, I wish you a child in your old age!"

"Brother, I..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? Think about it carefully. There are so many outstanding men in this world. You can't guarantee that your junior sister will meet another one she likes. With her strength, who knows how many men will pursue her in the future. Just bear it!" After Mo Yufeng said this, he entered Su Su's tent.

Jiuyou was even more contemptuous, muttering, "Master You is right, my senior brother is indeed a beast."

When Jiuyou returned to the tent, Ye Ling had already entered the space. She had her period today and was feeling particularly uncomfortable, with back pain. It was more tiring than practicing martial arts for a whole day, so she went to bed early.

Mo Yufeng shamelessly insisted on staying with Su Su for a while.

Of course Su Su refused: "Get out quickly, or someone will see you again."

"I see it, I see it. You are my wife for sure, what are you afraid of?" Mo Yufeng acted like a rogue, resting his face on the back of Su Su's hand: "We are going to separate tomorrow, what should I do if I miss you?"

"I don't want to be your wife!" Su Su's face turned red. She pushed Mo Yufeng hard, but couldn't move him away.

Mo Yufeng held Su Su's hand tightly: "You have to accept it even if you don't want to. You are destined to be mine in this life."

"Let me go and go to sleep!"

"No." Mo Yufeng not only did not let go, but pulled Su Su into his arms: "Just let me hold you for a while, just a little while."

Su Su's body was completely stiff. She could feel Mo Yufeng's breath blowing on her ears, which made her feel itchy, and her heart was in turmoil.

"You must listen to Junior Sister..."

"Oh! You're here again? I've told you several times."

Mo Yufeng smiled. He had been a playboy for thirty years and had naturally met many women, but he fell in love with Su Su. He was completely devoted to this girl and even wanted to keep her under his nose all the time. He would feel uncomfortable if she was not around for a while. He also knew that Ye Ling's situation was not optimistic, but he would not give her to Ye Ling unless it was absolutely necessary. This time when he returned to Langya Pavilion, he would be so busy that he would not be able to take care of anything else.

"Have you hugged me enough? Can we go to sleep now?" Su Su asked.

"No, go to sleep. I'll just watch you sleep by the bed. That way I'll feel at ease."

Su Su lay down obediently and let Mo Yufeng cover her with a blanket.

But how could he sleep when his eyes were fixed on each other? Mo Yufeng gently stroked Su Su's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness.

Su Su's heart beat faster and she quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look at Mo Yufeng again.

Mo Yufeng smiled and said, "You...sleep well. I'll go out after you fall asleep."

After a while, Su Su secretly opened his eyes: "Why don't you leave? I fell asleep."

"You're still talking while you're asleep." Mo Yufeng gently tapped Su Su's forehead and said, "Go to sleep."

"I can't sleep if you look at me like this." Su Su pulled Mo Yufeng's hand and said, "Go to sleep quickly. You have to travel tomorrow too. Remember to take good care of Meng Jing for me."

"Okay, I'll leave now." Mo Yufeng tucked in the quilt for Su Su, then kissed her on the forehead: "Go to sleep sweetly."

"I..." Su Su was reluctant again.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yufeng turned around and asked as he walked to the door of the tent.

Su Su shook his head and closed his eyes.

Mo Yufeng smiled and then left the tent.

Qiuju knelt slightly and saluted, then entered the tent.

As soon as Mo Yufeng reached the door of his tent, he heard Qiuju's voice: "Miss, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Mo Yufeng heard this, he immediately returned to Su Su's tent: "What's wrong?"

Su Su quickly wiped away her tears: "No...no, don't listen to Qiuju's nonsense, I just fell asleep."

Mo Yufeng paused for a moment and then said, "Qiuju, go and have a rest!"

Qiu Ju suppressed a smile and squatted slightly: "Yes, son-in-law."

After Qiuju left, Mo Yufeng took off his boots and went to bed without saying a word.

"What...what are you doing?" Su Su was a little panicked.

Mo Yufeng pulled the person into his arms and said, "Go to sleep, don't cry. Junior Sister may be hard on the outside but soft on the inside, she won't leave you alone, and I won't abandon you either. The next time we meet, it will be our wedding day. I will give you a grand wedding, and I will never marry again in this life. You are the only one for me."

Su Su quieted down, lying obediently in Mo Yufeng's arms. In fact, you can't blame her for being suspicious. She was really someone who lacked security since childhood, and it would be difficult for her to change her mental disorder for a while. "Brother Mo, thank you. I have no regrets in my life because I have you."

"Fool, don't say anything about life or death. Just go to sleep obediently. Don't be afraid of what others say."

Su Su stopped talking and soon fell asleep with steady breathing.
