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

Cang Yue Kingdom——Outside Zhezhou City

Because Ye Ling was delayed in the morning, it was almost noon when he reached the foot of the mountain.

Yelu Zongzheng's team had already prepared to set off. Duan Kai looked at the latecomers and said, "Are all of you in Langya Pavilion so unpunctual?"

Ye Ling jumped off the carriage and said, "Brother, your Highness only said that he would leave today, but he didn't specify the time. How can it be said that we are not punctual? You just say that out of the blue!"

"I..." Duan Kai was speechless and could only change the subject: "You two are escorting our prince. Isn't that too much of a joke?"

"It's not the quantity of soldiers that matters, but their quality. You have such a large group of people, but you still want us to escort you. Besides, I just want to ensure that your prince reaches the border alive. Why do you need so many people? Are you afraid that you will run out of dry food on the road and kill him to eat?" Ye Ling asked back slowly.

"Alright," Duan Peng came over and said, "Envoy Ye, can we go now? Your carriage will follow behind His Highness's carriage. There will be no lunch break."

"Let's go!" Ye Ling turned around and got in the car.

A group of people set off in a mighty procession.

Ye Ling kept asking Meng Meng about Jiuyou. The carriage was moving, so she couldn't enter the space.

Mengmeng could only talk about Jiuyou's situation over and over again, and of course complain a few times.

In the evening, the team began to camp. Yelu Zongzhen's men worked efficiently and set up a tent in minutes.

Ye Ling and Bi Cheng were afraid of trouble, so they found another way. They placed a horse stool between the two sides of the carriage as a load-bearing wall, and then put a wooden board on it. In this way, a spacious simple bed was made. Then, they put two wooden poles close to the front end of the carriage side. One side of the tent was fixed on both sides of the front top of the carriage, and the other side was fixed on the two wooden poles. In this way, a simple tent was set up. It was definitely spacious enough for one person to sleep. In this way, Ye Ling could sleep in the carriage at night, and Bicheng could sleep on the edge of the carriage.

After everything was packed up, Bicheng saw that the horses had almost finished their food, so he took the four horses to the river to drink water. He was very puzzled. Ye Ling suddenly took out a large bag of high-quality horse feed, which made him a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much. After traveling during the day, the horses must be fed and watered well at night, so after drinking water, he used four longer ropes to tie the horses to four trees respectively, so that they could eat grass at night.

Ye Ling was not idle in front of the carriage. She used a homemade small stove to boil water for making tea later. She was not in the mood to cook recently, but since Bi Cheng was there, she simply made two cold dishes, one meat and one vegetable, plus the steamed buns she brought with her, just enough to fill her stomach.

When Bicheng returned, the teapot was already boiling. He carried it to the carriage and asked, "Sir, are there any more meat and vegetables?"

"I asked the kitchen for it yesterday. They cooked some beef. I just made some. How about you try it? I have no sense of taste and can't eat it."

"Thank you, Sishi." Bicheng poured a cup of tea for each of them, then tasted Ye Ling's cold beef and said, "It's delicious, just the right flavor."

"Then you should eat more. These are all made for you. Go to bed early at night. We are only responsible for external enemies and don't care about anything else." Ye Ling took a bite of steamed bun and a sip of tea. She had no sense of taste, so she didn't want to eat meat.

"You don't want to eat?"

"I have no sense of taste, and... I don't feel like eating. Just a couple of bites will be enough. Go ahead and eat. You're a grown man, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be starving. You don't have to be embarrassed to be with me."

"Thank you, Si Shi." Bi Cheng was very touched. His Si Shi didn't eat himself but still prepared two dishes for him. "Do I have to be on duty tonight?"

"No, just sleep peacefully. I can sense any movement within a few hundred meters. There's no need to stay up all night. You can travel during the day after getting enough rest."

"Good" must be achieved by absolute trust in Ye Ling.

Ye Ling has absolute trust in Meng Meng. She lets Meng Meng rest during the day and be on guard at night. The little girl now has an extremely strong sensing ability because of the abundant space and supplies. She can immediately detect any movement within a few hundred meters around Ye Ling.

After a simple dinner, Bicheng sat on the small stool outside the carriage to wipe his knife. Ye Ling was alone in the carriage and suddenly felt a little lonely. Before, Su Su had always been with her, and the little girl had been talking nonstop, but now she was alone.

It was already dark outside, but the camp was still bustling. Yelu Zongzhen's people communicated internally in the Xidu language. Duan Kai and Yelu Zongzhen spoke fluent Chinese, but Duan Peng's Chinese was not very good.

Ye Ling had entered the space a long time ago. She had no chance during the day, so she had to accompany her Jiuyou at night, talk to him, wash his face, wipe his body, and talk to herself all the time. Even if there was no response, she was happy to do so.

Meng Meng used her wings to cover her eyes: "This is the fourth time, Master. This is the fourth time you have seen Jiu You naked. I must remember this and tell him the first time Jiu You wakes up."

"Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent, don't say anything indecent, don't do anything indecent, cover your eyes now." Ye Ling carefully changed Jiuyou's inner clothes.

"Hmph!" Meng Meng said proudly, "I don't want to see him, Master. He lies there all day, and you change his clothes every other day?"

"What do you know? My Jiuyou loves cleanliness. I can't let him wake up feeling dirty. Okay, today's work is over."

Ye Ling had just covered Jiuyou with the quilt when Meng Meng shouted, "Master, someone is looking for you, get out quickly."

Ye Ling immediately left the space. Duan Kai's voice came from outside the carriage: "Envoy Bi Qian, my prince invites Envoy Ye Si to come over and have a seat."

"But my Si Shi is on vacation." Bi Cheng didn't want Ye Ling to go. After all, in his mind, Jiu You had only been dead for a few days, and Ye Ling was in a low mood. He definitely didn't want to chat with strangers.

Duan Kai smiled and said, "Bi Qianshi, it's just getting dark!"

Ye Ling pushed open the carriage door and walked out: "Bicheng, you should get some rest quickly. You must be very tired from driving during the day."

"Shall I accompany you?"

"No need, it's just a few steps away." Ye Ling said and followed Duan Kai towards the tent about twenty steps away.

Duan Kai lifted the door curtain and said, "Envoy Ye, please come in."

The tent was absolutely luxurious, with thick blankets on the floor. In the innermost part was a tatami mat that was ten centimeters high and two meters by two meters, covered with expensive cushions. In the middle was a small square low table with four soft cushions placed around it.

Yelu Zongzhen sat in the main seat at a low table, and on his right sat a young woman who looked very exotic and was obviously from Xidu.

Seeing Ye Ling coming in, Yelu Zongzheng immediately said: "Envoy Ye is here, please take a seat."

Ye Ling somewhat reluctantly sat down opposite Yelu Zongzheng: "Your Highness, is there anything you need?"

Yelu Zongzheng looked at Ye Ling's manly sitting posture and felt like laughing. "They called you for dinner! They cooked a whole table, and I can't finish it. And with no one to keep me company, I feel bored."

"Your Highness, you are joking. Aren't you accompanied by a beautiful woman?"

Yelu Zongzheng glanced at the woman beside him and said, "She is just my maid."

"Jiaojiao greets Envoy Ye," Jiaojiao immediately spoke obediently.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, and then said: "Your Highness asked me to come here just to eat?"

"What else? Try them, they are all our Xidu delicacies."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am not worthy of it. I have no sense of taste lately, so everything I eat tastes the same."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. It seems that Envoy Ye has a close relationship with your junior apprentice brother, otherwise he wouldn't be so sad."

"He's my fiancé"

Yelu Zongzheng was somewhat surprised. "I see. How enviable! I wonder if a Japanese princess passed away and someone was so grief-stricken that they lost their sense of taste and smell?"

Ye Ling didn't respond, but instead lowered his head in deep worry, looking at the dagger he was playing with. After a moment, he changed the subject: "Your Highness, please eat. We can talk while you eat. I've already eaten."

Jiaojiao began to serve food to Yelu Zongzheng carefully.

Ye Ling said, "Your Highness, you are very brave to ask me to escort you at this time!"

"how to say?"

"There are countless people out there who want to kill me. Aren't you afraid that I'll bring you trouble? First of all, the people in the Falcon Prison won't let me go. After all, their deputy, Jialuo, died in Langya Pavilion."

"This is boring, Night Envoy. With the style of your Langya Pavilion, the Falcon Prison has already hit a wall. They can't even hide now, let alone come and kill you."

"Falcon Prison is not simple"

"It would be easy for Langya Pavilion to get rid of Falcon Prison. After what happened with Prince Xian, there are definitely some people in the martial arts world and the imperial court who dislike your actions and want to kill you, especially to show Langya Pavilion some strength."

"Look, even you said that. It's not too late for you to regret it before you go too far."

Yelu Zongzheng smiled faintly. "Although I haven't met Senior Feng Qingyang and Sect Master Mo many times, I do know them well. Senior Feng treats you like a daughter, and Sect Master Mo's love for you, her sister, is definitely not fake. The other two envoys of Langya Pavilion also love you very much. So, how could they let you leave Langya Pavilion at this time? There is only one answer. Can you guess what it is?"

Ye Ling thought for a moment and shook his head.

Yelu Zongzheng took a sip of his porridge and continued, "You've actually already figured it out, you were just waiting for me to tell you. Sect Leader Mo usually appears affable and friendly, but he can be ruthless and cruel at times. Otherwise, the old Pavilion Master wouldn't have handed Langya Pavilion over to him. As the saying goes, a new official starts with three big things. The first big thing was that day in Zhezhou when he stunned everyone, including the court officials, with a single shout. The second big thing was the Falcon Prison that came to him automatically.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Sect Leader Mo cannot tolerate the fact that Falcon Prison caused trouble in Langya Pavilion and assisted King Xian in taking your junior brother away. He cannot tolerate it, otherwise others will take advantage of Langya Pavilion. The reason why he did not stop you is because Falcon Prison is already finished. So with Falcon Prison as an example, let's see who in the world dares to take action against you.

Furthermore, being able to instantly wipe out the most powerful assassin gang in the martial arts world was a deterrent to the Cang Yue Kingdom court, and it also made clear their stance: whoever dares to touch you, Ye Ling, is against Langya Pavilion, and must die."
