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

Cangyue Country——Quezhou Street

The next morning, Quezhou was completely liberated and people set up stalls one after another. After all, they had families to make a living, and the streets became bustling.

After breakfast, Ye Ling went for a stroll on the street. She learned from the people that Nangong Che went to the pharmacy he opened every day to pretend. She asked along the way and found the medicine stall. While Nangong Che was not there, she went up to the second floor first. When no one was paying attention, she entered the space and planned to wait and see.

At two o'clock in the morning, Nangong Che dragged his sick body, panting heavily, to the medicine building. The people felt sorry for their Prince Wen, who came to work for them every day even though he was so weak. They were really moved.

Meng Meng explained the situation outside to Ye Ling, and Jiu You looked at her with disdain: "Pretending."

"You know now, that's why he is pretending. But those who don't know have been deceived by him. The saying that a barking dog bites is absolutely true." Ye Ling lay on the sofa habitually.

"It's too cheap for you to cooperate with him"

"You're the one who's losing face. So tell me, if I don't cooperate with him to kill the emperor, do you think Nangong Chen will kill his father? If Nangong Hanyi doesn't die, I won't have a peaceful life for the rest of my life. What do you think I should do?"

Jiuyou was speechless, Mengmeng said: "Hide in the space and never go out for the rest of your life."

"Do you mean that I should be a coward or a mouse that hides from view? Never dare to show up in public and have to hide all my life?" Ye Ling asked.

This time Jiuyou and Mengmeng were both silent.

Ye Ling continued, "I, Ye Ling, am just an ordinary person, not a saint. Therefore, I will not save the people, nor will I consider the people and the people. I will only work hard for myself. Therefore, anyone can be the emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, just don't kill me."

"Nangong Che is cruel and ruthless. What if he goes back on his word?" Jiuyou was still worried.

"We'll have to take it one step at a time. How could I be so accurate in my calculations? The most urgent thing is to get Nangong Hanyi out of office. Once Qiu Zhen's affair is discovered, Nangong Hanyi will definitely send more people. Then I'll have to hide like I just said. Do you think I... am the kind of person who would live in hiding? Besides, Master keeps trying to get hold of me, asking me to be the Langya Pavilion's envoy. That would implicate Langya Pavilion. If Nangong Hanyi fails to assassinate me, he can just find a reason to send a large army to besiege and wipe out Langya Pavilion. Just look at how many people I'll implicate."

"Destroy Langya Pavilion? He...he shouldn't dare, right?" Jiuyou said.

Ye Ling smiled: "You yourself feel guilty for saying this, don't you? Nangong Che is cruel and ruthless, and so is Nangong Hanyi. This group of fathers and sons are birds of a feather, and none of them are good people."

Jiuyou fell silent again. It was true that Nangong Hanyi was also a cruel and ruthless person.

Ye Ling paused for a moment and then said, "Jiuyou, let's not talk about anything else. Take my father and the Ye Family Army for example. Do you think Nangong Hanyi really had no involvement? Even Nangong Chen was able to raise doubts afterwards. Do you think Nangong Hanyi couldn't see that this was a setup? But he turned a blind eye. Because my father's achievements were so great that they threatened the emperor, he also felt that his power was intimidated. Therefore, Nangong Hanyi also wanted my father to die, and he wanted the Ye Family Army loyal to him to die in battle. It's that simple."

Jiuyou clenched his fists tightly. He had thought of all this a long time ago, but was unwilling to admit it. Now that Ye Ling had said it out loud, he still felt very uncomfortable. His Marshal Ye, a man loyal to his king and his country, who might not know until his death what he was loyal to, had wanted him dead a long time ago.

After a moment of silence, Ye Ling spoke again: "Jiuyou, I was a little blunt, are you... unhappy?"

Jiuyou quickly looked up: "No, I just feel chilled. What you said is the truth."

Ye Ling then noticed Jiu You's hand: "What happened to your hand? Did something cut it?"

"Nothing, just an accidental scratch."

Ye Ling stood up, walked over, and sat down in front of Jiuyou, taking his hand. "You've been stabbed more than once! Look, it feels like it's full of holes. Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Jiuyou was a little nervous because Ye Ling was too close to him.

"Are you making a new hidden weapon again? Be careful!" Ye Ling's heartache was not fake.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Jiuyou looked at Ye Ling's profile, somewhat distracted. In this magical space, there were only the two of them.

Ye Ling lifted Jiuyou's hand and blew gently, "You said it doesn't hurt, but you're injured like this." After that, she took out a Band-Aid from the drawer of the coffee table and wrapped it around the wound on Jiuyou's right index finger.

Jiuyou was very curious: "What is this?"

"This thing is called a Band-Aid," Ye Ling said with a smile.

Jiuyou said softly, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Ye Ling was slightly stunned, then laughed: "There's no need to be so polite between us, right?"

"Master, that expert is going upstairs," Mengmeng said.

"What are you afraid of? Just go ahead, he can't see us." Ye Ling picked up another Band-Aid and put it on Jiuyou's left index finger: "I don't know what happened to you, both hands are injured."

Jiuyou sat quietly, not saying a word. He had been injured countless times before, but who would care about him for such a minor bump? Now that he had his senior sister, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

The Black Hawk outside checked the second floor to ensure it was safe, and then Guangyi helped Nangong Che upstairs.

"Your Highness, please take a break and have lunch. I will be watching outside." After Black Hawk went out, he sat leisurely on the roof, with a full view of everything around the medicine building.

"Your Highness, please eat something." Xianghui led people upstairs with food.

Ye Ling inside muttered, "I was starving in the middle of the day waiting for him, and he's eating so much food by himself? Mengmeng, give each of those two losers around him an injection and knock them out. I want to go out and eat some meat."

"Okay!" Mengmeng received the order and knocked Xianghui and Guangyi unconscious in an instant.

Ye Ling appeared silently behind Nangong Che: "Your Highness is in such a refined mood!"

Nangong Che was shocked, but not nervous at all. He glanced at the two people who fell to the ground: "You! Come on, why did you make them faint?"

"I'm starving, Your Majesty, can I eat?" Ye Ling asked.

Nangong Che raised his hand to signal Ye Ling to sit down: "Eat, it just so happens that I can't taste the food alone."

"Great." Ye Ling sat down and didn't rush to speak. He just focused on eating. "This dish is really good, but there are too many vegetarian dishes. I only like to eat meat."

"Next time, I'll definitely prepare a few more meat dishes." Nangong Che smiled on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He just couldn't understand how Ye Ling got in? The Black Hawk on the roof didn't notice at all! And Xiang Hui's martial arts skills were not weak, but he was knocked down without any resistance. This woman was too terrifying. Could it be that she had already reached the top of the martial arts world? Become the best? Impossible, absolutely impossible. How old is she? All the previous world number one men were in their forties...

"What is your Highness thinking about? Eat!" Ye Ling interrupted Nangong Che's thoughts.

“Okay, eat.” Nangong Che was a little embarrassed: “When did Ye Sishi enter the city?”

"I just entered the city this morning and heard that the prince was here, so I hurried over to pay him a visit." Ye Ling said while eating, busy and happy.

Nangong Che cursed Yue Kun again in his heart, saying he was useless and couldn't even guard the city gate. On the surface, he still smiled: "I didn't expect Ye Si to be so fast."

"I have to hurry! My senior brother is getting married in August and I have to attend the wedding, so time is tight. If the prince has any instructions, please tell me."

Nangong Che didn't hide and said directly: "The emperor is most proud of the cavalry army, and the two generals are his confidants. This matter is not easy to handle."

"Your Highness, are you saying that these two generals and Gu Feixiang are my responsibility? Isn't this division of labor a bit biased? If Gu Feixiang is seriously injured, I will become the number one enemy of the Illuminati. This will be like adding insult to injury for me."

Nangong Che smiled slightly: “If Ye Sishi seriously injures Gu Feixiang, there will be no more Illuminati in the world.”

"Oh! Your Majesty is so direct!"

"Isn't Envoy Ye very direct? If I continue to be evasive, it will seem insincere."

"That's true." Ye Ling didn't like relying on others to do things. She didn't believe that the so-called martial arts leader would help her deal with the Illuminati, so she had to get Nangong Che to give a reliable promise.

"Come, try the steamed egg, it's delicious too." Nangong Che naturally served Ye Ling a spoonful of steamed egg.

"Thank you." Ye Ling took it naturally with a small plate and took a bite. "It's delicious, but it still lacks the aroma of meat. Your pig's trotter is especially delicious."

"like to eat?"

Ye Ling nodded: "I like it very much."

“Come here,” Nangong Che said immediately.

A guard came in and was stunned to see Ye Ling. Then he looked at the person lying on the ground and immediately drew his sword: "Someone come..."

“Shut up,” Nangong Che scolded, “Go, bring another serving of pig’s trotters.”

"Your Majesty...she..."

"Your Highness" Black Hawk came in upon hearing the sound, and the scene inside the house made him doubt his life.

“Why are you standing there? Go serve the food.” Nangong Che was a little unhappy.

"Yes." The guard put away his knife and trotted downstairs.

Nangong Che glanced at Black Hawk meaningfully, and Black Hawk knelt on one knee: "This subordinate deserves to die, please punish me, Your Highness."

"Get up, Ye Sishi just came to have a meal, what crime have you committed?" Nangong Che said.

The guard who had just been with "Prince" came back: "The pig's trotter you requested."

Nangong Che smiled and said, “Envoy Ye, eat quickly!”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Ling was very happy. It would be a waste if she didn't eat it, and it would be a waste if she ate it.

After Black Hawk stood up, the first thing he did was to check on the two people who had fallen to the ground.

"Here," Ye Ling tossed a delicate little bottle to Black Hawk. "Antidote, one for each of you. You'll wake up in about a quarter of an hour."

“Envoy Ye is too polite. According to me, they shouldn’t wake up again,” Nangong Che said lightly.

"Your Highness, you're too serious. I was just joking. I can't kill anyone!" Ye Ling said as she ate. It was obvious that she really loved eating meat. "Your Highness, the first step in our cooperation is to kill Gu Feixiang and his Illuminati. Then we can talk about the Huqi Army."

"Okay! We have to do things step by step." Nangong Che knew that Ye Ling wanted to test his sincerity, so if the Illuminati did not fall, the other party would not help him kill the two generals of the Cavalry Army. If he took action himself, on the one hand, the traces would be too obvious, and on the other hand, it would be difficult to do.
