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

Cang Yue Kingdom——Outside Zhezhou City

The night was dark, but the Xidu camp was brightly lit. Inside the main tent, Yelu Zongzhen and Nangong Chen sat opposite each other.

Yelu Zongzheng personally poured tea for Nangong Chen: "Didn't I ask Duan Kai to go into the city and tell you, there's no need to send me."

"I had agreed to accompany you to the border, but now that this has happened, I can't go. But I still have to come and see you off," said Nangong Chen.

"It's okay, I just didn't expect Prince Xian to be so crazy. He openly arrested Feng Qingyang's apprentice and threatened Envoy Ye to hand over the map of Langya Pavilion. This incident caused an uproar in the martial arts world, which is not good for your Nangong family!"

"I know. I have received a lot of news in the past two days. Many martial arts fans are calling for revenge for Jiuyou, saying that the emperor is openly provoking a fight between the martial arts world and the imperial court. But it doesn't matter. A few people can't make any waves," said Nangong Chen.

"That's right," Yelu Zongzhen smiled meaningfully.

"Be careful on your way back. I'm afraid that Da'e will continue to send people to cause trouble, so I plan to have someone escort you out of the country." Nangong Chen was really worried. He was really afraid that something would happen to Yelu Zongzhen in Cangyue, which would drag Xidu into the war.

"That's not necessary. You should just focus on your own business. I've already hired the Langya Pavilion to escort you on the trip. With them here, you can rest easy on the journey."

"Langya Pavilion? Who sent you there?" Nangong Chen asked.

"Given my status and the unrest on the road, it's only natural that the Human Hall's envoys personally escorted me."

"Ye Ling?"

"Yes, isn't it this extremely brave female envoy! With Langya Pavilion sending me off, you can rest assured and see who dares to come and seek death," Yelu Zongzhen said with a smile.

"Hasn't she...lost her sense of taste and smell?"

"I don't know about this, but Ye Lingren has indeed become much more haggard. When I saw her yesterday, her eyes were bloodshot and it was obvious that she was very sad."

"Then how did she send you?"

"This is Langya Pavilion's business, and has nothing to do with me. This is more than once or twice that Langya Pavilion has escorted the prince on his travels. My father once said that once Langya Pavilion promises to protect your life, they are ten thousand times more reliable than the people around you. What do you think?"

"That's true, but what happened in Zhezhou is related to Langya Pavilion after all? How dare Ye Ling come out and act openly at this time? What does Sect Master Mo think?"

"Why don't you dare come out? Is Ye Ling wrong in this matter? Any reasonable person can distinguish right from wrong, right?"

Nangong Chen was silent for a long time. Half an hour later, he left the camp and returned to Zhezhou.

Yelu Zongzhen rested his forehead with his hand, lying on his side with his eyes closed, while a woman in seductive clothes was massaging his legs.

Duan Kai's brother Duan Peng picked up the candle and said, "Your Highness, I don't understand your move either."

Yelu Zongzheng closed his eyes and spoke, "It's safer to be escorted by the Langya Pavilion within his territory. Ye Ling promised that we don't have to pay tribute next year. This matter is beyond my comprehension. How can she, with her current status, decide the political deal between Cang Yue and Xidu? But she has no reason to lie to me!"

"But no matter what, Cang Yue Nation is in a mess right now! Opportunities like this are rare."

"Opportunities are fleeting, and once lost, they will never come back. The more chaos there is in Cang Yue Nation, the greater our chances of counterattack. Once news of Zhezhou's affairs reaches the capital, Nangong Hanyi will surely be furious and send troops to Langya Pavilion. Langya Pavilion has already prepared for a counterattack. By then, the six states of Nanyu will immediately become Langya Pavilion's territory, and countless people will flock to it.

The Leng family is no fool. Although the resigned Grand Tutor Leng will not rebel, he will ensure the succession of a new emperor for the sake of the Leng family. And Da'e, seeing this opportunity, will not cease fighting. At that time, Cang Yue will be in turmoil due to internal and external troubles. The Western Capital can take advantage of this opportunity to invade and recapture the city that was lost that year."

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Then... please don't be angry if I ask you something. You seem to treat Envoy Ye differently."

"She is a remarkable woman, but only suitable to be friends. You should never sleep with a woman like her. Who knows if she will stab you in the middle of the night? Tell our people to be polite to Ye Ling. Even the prince dares to deal with her, let alone you," said Yelu Zongzhen.

"It's indeed too fierce, and ordinary men can't bear it! I have already given orders. When I think of the scene in Zhezhou that day, I am still a little scared. These Night Envoys kill people without blinking an eye," said Duan Kai.

"Okay, go to sleep, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Yes"

The next morning, a big thing happened in Langya Pavilion. Ye Ling decided to travel alone this time. She put all the supplies into the space in the late night and also went to Huaqing Cave.

When Mo Yufeng learned about this, he was extremely unwilling: "Junior sister, this is absolutely not possible."

"I am only protecting Yelu Zongzhen's safety. It's useless to send so many people," Ye Ling defended.

"That won't work either," Cai Yang disagreed. "Sir, we must let Bicheng follow us so we can look after each other."

"Yes, Si Shi, you see, our subordinates are all ready. We can't do this suddenly. The money has been divided." Bi Cheng firmly disagreed.

Ye Ling directly brought up the old Pavilion Master: "This is the handprint I asked for last night. The old Pavilion Master gave it to me. He allowed me to escort the convoy alone. You don't have to say anything more. It will be done. Consider this money as a treat for my brothers. You can look at the remaining orders. You and Zhuang Yi can each pick one. We must complete four more orders before the New Year. There are too many orders piled up. Of course, do what you can and leave the difficult ones to me. That's it."

"Sect Master" Cai Yang looked at Mo Yufeng and said, "This really can't be done. We can't let our envoy go out alone. It's too chaotic outside right now."

"Junior sister, putting aside your identity as my sister, just because you are the Langya Pavilion's envoy, I will not let you go on a mission alone. Don't even think about it. I'm going to see the Pavilion Master now," Mo Yufeng said as he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Ye Ling was speechless. "Brother, I just want to go out for a walk alone. I don't like crowds. Besides, Jiuyou is with me, so I'm not lonely."

"Si Shi, since you said that, then today you are the killer's subordinate, and I will not let you leave alone." Bi Cheng directly blocked the way.

Upon hearing the news, "Night Envoy" Yue Chi and Ji Ruochen both rushed to Renzi Hall.

Yue Chi immediately said, "Your body is still not well, your sense of taste and smell hasn't recovered yet. Are we, a group of men, still human if we throw you, a woman, out here at this time?"

"No…"

"Night Envoy" Ji Ruochen remained steady. "I understand you want to be alone, but please also consider us. At this time, Langya Pavilion is under scrutiny. If you leave alone, people in the martial arts world will immediately spread rumors. They'll say you were kicked out of Langya Pavilion, or they'll say we're inhuman and irresponsible, leaving you out alone to face the royal family."

"That's right! Especially the Sect Master, he is your senior brother. His junior brother was just harmed by the royal family, but he turned around and threw his junior sister out. How will people in the world view the Sect Master? How will they view our Langya Pavilion?" Yue Chi said.

"Junior sister..."

"Oh!" Ye Ling interrupted Mo Yufeng's muttering: "I just want to be alone for a while. You make me feel like I've made a big mistake. In that case, then... let's both take a step back. I'll only take one person with me, not riding a horse. Just bring my carriage. Is that okay? If that doesn't work, then I won't go."

"I can agree to this," Ji Ruochen said.

Mo Yufeng could only nod: "Okay, who are you planning to take with you?"

"Is there any need to plan? I'm your subordinate anyway," Bicheng said quickly.

"Yes, it will be done!" Ye Ling was helpless, his plan fell through. "I'm going to prepare some things, you guys hurry up and do what you need to do. I'm leaving, see you in two months."

Watching Ye Ling leave, Yue Chi grabbed Bi Cheng who was about to leave and said, "Listen carefully, you must keep an eye on your Si Shi. I always feel that she is emotionally unstable and seems to be a broken jar."

"The key is that she hasn't fully recovered from the incident with Jiuyou." Ji Ruochen looked at Mo Yufeng and said, "Sect Master, you shouldn't have agreed to let her take this job that day. Leaving Langya Pavilion now is too risky."

"You know my junior sister's character. No one can change her decision. She was afraid that others would say she made a mistake, so she hid in the mountains. That's why she resolutely left. Bicheng, you are an old man in Langya Pavilion. You know how to contact all the branches and Anzhuang in various places. Please take care of her along the way. Although my junior sister is good at martial arts, she is just a little girl in other aspects and has no idea. You are smart too, so don't let her suffer again." Mo Yufeng was actually very worried about Ye Ling's mission this time.

"Master, two envoys, don't worry, I will take good care of them." Bicheng bowed and left. If anyone was excited today, it would be him alone. Being able to go out with Ye Ling alone was truly a blessing that he had earned in eight lifetimes!

Ye Ling arrived in front of the carriage in advance and took out three boxes of necessary items and the tent that could be connected to the carriage from the space.

"Commander, my subordinates are here, let's go." Bicheng came jogging.

"Is your driving skill okay? This is a four-horse carriage. Can you handle it? If not, I'll have to find someone else."

"Sir, please don't joke around. I exchanged rides with Jiuyou on the way back. I guarantee there will be no problem," Bicheng said with certainty.

"Where's your luggage?"

Bicheng only had two packages: "I only brought three sets of clothes, two water bags, and some dry food."

Ye Ling got on the carriage and placed Bicheng's clothes in a wooden box under the seat. "Let's go! Let's start our two-month journey."

"De Lai" must sit on the horse stool: "Gee~"

The carriage started to move forward. Ye Ling opened the window, looked at Mo Yufeng and others behind him, and waved.

Bicheng said, "Sishi, you are the first person to be sent on a mission by the Sect Master and two other Sishi!"

"They're still worried about me, but there's really nothing to worry about. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. It doesn't matter."

"Don't say that! We should look forward to the future. It's good to go out and change our mood."

"Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me? There are many people out there who want to kill me."

"I'm afraid you don't want me to follow you, everything else is secondary."

Ye Ling smiled and said nothing more, thinking to herself: Jiuyou, we agreed to travel the world together, and now it begins.

Mo Yufeng looked at the carriage as it drove away and said, "Ghost Hall is ready. We will set off tomorrow. I will lead the team myself. You two will stay at Langya Pavilion. I will return soon."

"Master, just go without worry. Xuanyuan will definitely go crazy with killing this time. He hasn't been allowed to go on missions in the past few years, and the kid is almost sick from being suppressed," said Yue Chi.

"Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. With the Falcon Prison as an example, I wonder who will dare challenge Langya Pavilion in the future." Mo Yufeng's usual expression changed, replaced by a cold murderous aura: "Spread the news, Jiuyou is not dead, but seriously injured and unconscious. Perhaps one day he will wake up."

"Ah? Yes?" Yue Chi was puzzled, but still agreed.
