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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Quezhou - Heavenly Visitor

After the boss left, Ye Ling immediately entered the space, took a quick shower, and changed into a black and purple cross-collar women's dress.

"Master, why do you want to stay in an inn? Just find a place and live in a comfortable and safe space." Meng Meng was puzzled.

"I have to live somewhere where people can find me, right?"

"That's right, people from Langya Pavilion are coming to look for you!"

Ye Ling put on her clothes and left the bedroom. Jiu You quickly asked, "Is Tian Lai Ke safe?"

"Don't worry, this is Xue Jingchuan's own shop. He said it himself that these people do not belong to King Beichen, nor to King Wen. They only listen to Xue Jingchuan, so living here allows people to find them without disturbing them," said Ye Ling.

"That's good. Young Master Xue gives you this jade token..." Jiuyou hesitated to speak.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "He forced me to do this. He said that if I'm hungry and have no food to eat when I'm traveling around, I can go to the nearest Tianlaike. They'll provide me with food and shelter, so at least I won't starve to death."

"Oh~" Jiuyou was a little reluctant and muttered in a low voice: "Who cares."

Ye Ling caught Jiuyou's little expression and laughed even louder: "See you later, I will return this thing to him. With my Jiuyou here, how could I go hungry, right?"

"Yes, I won't let you starve." Jiuyou was immediately happy.

"Okay, enough talking. I have to go out. Dinner will be here soon." Ye Ling threw Jiuyou a coquettish glance before leaving.

The shop owner quickly brought four dishes, a soup, and four steamed buns. He was stunned when he saw the person who opened the door: "You... weren't you a young master just now?"

"Traveling around the world is for convenience!" Ye Ling said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss put down the food, said a few polite words and left.

Ye Ling pulled Jiu You out of the space and said, "Hurry up and eat. It's been a whole day. I'm starving."

Jiuyou wasn't very hungry, because he had eaten some fruit and snacks in the space. "Senior Sister, what are you going to do?"

"On the one hand, I'm competing with Gu Feixiang, and on the other hand..." Ye Ling's lips curled slightly: "Cooperating with Nangong Che is a very dangerous thing. How does the saying go: How much a person endures now, how cruel he will be in the future. Talking back is not scary, but being silent is. Nangong Che is such a person."

"What do you mean?"

"He's so strategic and thinks he can control everything. He must be dismissive of me as a partner, most likely looking down on me. So, I have to first let him know that there are always people better than you, and then we can talk about the next thing."

"The expert next to him is very powerful"

"So what? I have a bug, which is space. No matter how powerful he is, he can't do anything to me."

Jiuyou nodded slightly: "You are right."

"Someone is coming." Ye Ling said as he sent Jiuyou, two steamed buns and two dishes into the space.

There was a knock on the door, and the boss said, "Dear guest, someone from Langya Pavilion is here."

"Come in and talk." Ye Ling sat there without moving, still eating steamed buns.

Another voice rang out from the doorway: "Thank you, Boss. I'll go in by myself."

"Okay, okay," the boss went downstairs.

The door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties came in. He was dressed in a black robe and looked quite good. He closed the door and came to the table and bowed: "Your subordinate Cai Yang, I pay my respects to the envoy."

"Ahem..." Ye Ling choked. "You...you are the Thousand Envoys of the Renzi Hall? With Bicheng and Zhuang Yi?"

"Yes, I am here waiting for the envoy to come under the order of the old Pavilion Master. I was in the branch hall just now and you didn't come in." Cai Yang is different from Bi Cheng and Zhuang Yi. He is the kind of person who can be evil in a righteous way. He is usually serious and does things in an orderly manner. Everything must be in accordance with the rules.

Ye Ling pointed to the stool opposite: "Sit down and talk. If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together. If you have, have some tea."

"Thank you, Envoy." Cai Yang didn't hesitate to sit down and continued, "Envoy, I have already sent someone to inform the Illuminati. The plague in the city is now under control, and there are no new serious illnesses. If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Feixiang will come to the Langya Pavilion branch to fight in three or four days at most."

"Does he hate me very much? Did I kill his adopted son She Zhao?"

"She Zhao deserves his punishment and his death is not a pity. Gu Feixiang's martial arts skills are not much higher than She Zhao's. Si Shi can definitely win." Cai Yang believed Ye Ling very much.

"Winning is certain, otherwise I wouldn't dare to humiliate myself. But, do you think I can cripple him?"

"This is against the rules. We should stop when the time is right in a duel." Cai Yang was very particular about the rules.

"What would happen if I... failed to control myself and ended up crippling him?" Ye Ling just didn't want to cause trouble for Langya Pavilion, so he had to ask clearly.

Cai Yang was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "You... want to kill him?"

"That's not the case. I just want to cripple him or make him unable to make any waves for a year or two," Ye Ling tried to explain.

Cai Yang paused for a moment before speaking, "Don't mind my disrespectful remarks. Gu Feixiang is fifty years old, and you're only nineteen, a woman. Challenging him would be an insult, so...if you want to injure him, you'll have to work hard on that. Anger can make a renowned hero lose his temper."

Ye Ling nodded: "Thank you for your advice, I understand. As long as he takes the initiative to challenge me to a life-and-death fight, then I can fight him naturally."

"Why don't you live in Langya Pavilion?" Cai Yang suddenly asked.

"I...I don't want to stay. Oh, and I have something else to ask you. Do you know anything about the Hussar Army?"

"Not many. The Hussars are a group of soldiers the emperor keeps in reserve for emergencies. The current commander is Yao Qi, and the deputy commander is Zu Wang. I don't know who the others are."

"Can you check? I want to know everyone in Quezhou who has had contact with them. I want to find out within three days."

"Yes," Cai Yang responded directly, because he regarded Ye Ling as the Si Shi, so he had to obey the Si Shi's orders.

"Thank you so much. I have time to go out during the day these days, but I will definitely come back here at night."

"I understand. By the way, the head of the Quezhou branch is Dong Cun. The reason he didn't come to see the envoy today is because his wife is giving birth."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. I don't like to bother with these things. By the way, is there any news from the capital?"

"No, there has been no news from the capital recently."

Ye Ling nodded, and the two talked for about a quarter of an hour, then Cai Yang left. Ye Ling told her boss that she was going to sleep and not to be disturbed, and then she entered the space.

"Senior Sister, Mengmeng said it was Cai Yang?" Jiuyou asked quickly.

Ye Ling sat on the sofa: "Yes, it is indeed him. He is different from Bicheng and Zhuang Yi. This person seems difficult to get along with! However, he gives me a good impression. He is neither humble nor arrogant, and very upright."

"Senior Brother said that these three Thousand Envoys each have their own unique characteristics and personalities. Mengmeng said he respects you very much?"

"That's quite true. It's obvious that you really treat me as your servant. Okay, let's go to sleep. I can finally sleep until I wake up naturally." Ye Ling undressed and got into bed immediately after entering the room: "It's so comfortable."

Meng Meng landed on Ye Ling's belly: "Master, why don't you let Su Su wake up? Isn't she your good friend? Are you afraid that she will tell this secret?"

"Your brain is too small. You spend all day researching high technology and pay too little attention to people. Remember: never tell your secrets to your best friends, because your best friends also have their best friends. Do you understand?"

"I see. A good friend will tell her secret to her good friend. Then if one person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people, and your secret will be gone."

"By the way, in this book, I can only trust Jiuyou without any worries, because he would never stab me in the back, and he values ​​my life more than his own. I can't trust anyone else, because sugar and salt look the same, and you can't tell if the person next to you is a human or a wolf."

"Humans are too complicated. Machines are better! They just do what Meng Meng tells them to do. They will never have their own thoughts."

"So you, little guy, don't know much!" Ye Ling lay down and looked around: "Jiuyou is still the best, look how clean he has cleaned my room."

"You're so embarrassed to say that?"

"What are you talking about? Don't you have the ability to move? Why don't you help me put all the objects back in place?"

"Mengmeng is tired too. Besides, if I return today, you will leave again tomorrow, so it's better not to do anything."

"It makes sense!"

One person and one elf, they fell asleep while chatting.

On the other side, in the inn, Nangong Che also finished bathing and prepared to rest: "Yue Kun, starting tomorrow, you will keep an eye on the gate to see when Ye Ling arrives. This king wants to see her and have a chat in person."

"Yes, I understand," Yue Kun responded.

"Starting tomorrow, Quezhou City will be unsealed. It will be announced that the plague has been brought under control and will no longer be contagious. The main gate will also resume opening hours as before, and citizens can enter and exit freely," Nangong Che ordered.

"Yes," Yue Kun replied, a little confused: "Why doesn't Your Highness allow us to release poison again?"

"The plague was created on the one hand to deal with the cavalry army, and on the other hand to make the emperor send me to Quezhou to take charge of the situation personally. Now the second goal has been achieved, and the first one cannot be solved for the time being, so let Quezhou recover first, so that when Ye Ling comes, Gu Feixiang can immediately respond to the challenge," Nangong Che explained.

"So that's how it is. I was stupid. I'll arrange it right away." Yue Kun bowed and left.

"Your Highness has had a very hard day," Guangyi muttered, "Are you going to the medicine building tomorrow?"

"Of course, this is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people, so just sit there and help pound the medicine. What's so tiring about it?" Nangong Che said.

"Yes, you have the final say. I just feel sorry for you."

Nangong Che lay down and said, “Is there no news from the capital?”

"No, Your Highness. Even a carrier pigeon would take six or seven days to arrive. It's not that fast. If it did arrive, I would bring it to you immediately. Your Highness, go to sleep!"

Nangong Che closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. The road he was taking was destined to be difficult, so it was extremely difficult to walk. Now that he had started, he couldn't make any mistakes. One wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

The starry sky in July is like a dream, and the glow of fireflies flickers in the dark night, outlining a quiet and romantic picture.
