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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Beside the Official Road

The riverside was cool and comfortable in the early morning. Ye Ling squatted down to wash her hands that had just touched the corpse. "A life is gone just like that. It seems that women really have the ability to protect themselves!"

Yelu Zongzheng smiled and said, "That's true. No one in this world dares to do anything to Ye Sishi. After all, they can't beat him!"

Ye Ling stood up and shook his hands. Yelu Zongzheng naturally took out the handkerchief in his arms and said, "Wipe it."

Ye Ling took the handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to carrying these things. Oh, and I haven't returned the handkerchief you gave me last night."

“You don’t have to pay it back.”

"That's so embarrassing." Ye Ling put his hands behind his back and took out a handkerchief from the space: "Here, I washed it."

Yelu Zongzheng took the handkerchief and put it in his arms: "Then do you have to wash this one before returning it to me?"

"Okay, no problem. I know you have moderate mysophobia," Ye Ling said, looking at the soldier who was digging a pit not far away. "Your Highness, tell me, if I were lying there, how would you feel?"

"I will kill all the people in the escort agency," Yelu Zongzheng said with a serious face.

Ye Ling immediately turned around and looked at Yelu Zongzheng: "Your Highness, are you serious? What about this maid?"

“Without evidence, it’s a problem to catch up.”

Ye Ling was a little puzzled: "That's the problem. If it was me who died, would there be evidence?"

"If that's you, you don't need evidence. Also, don't use this kind of metaphor again. It's unclean and unlucky." Yelu Zongzheng said seriously, then turned and walked towards the camp: "Let's go back."

Ye Ling was stunned: "What does he mean?"

"I'm attracted to you!" Meng Meng said, "Master, a rare species like you, which man wouldn't be moved?"

"You're talking nonsense. You are the rare species," Ye Ling retorted.

A moment later, Ye Ling also returned to the carriage. Bi Cheng quickly spoke, "Envoy, what do you think we should do about this? They will definitely not pursue the matter. After all, this is within their territory, and the Second Prince doesn't want to cause trouble. Besides, we have no evidence."

"Then what else are you asking?"

"I just feel uncomfortable. On the one hand, I feel that the girl is too pitiful, and these people are beasts! On the other hand, what will the people of Xidu think of us Cang Yue people? This will greatly affect our reputation."

"These bastards are truly inhuman. Their carriage isn't moving very fast. As long as there aren't any detours in the road, we can definitely catch up with them."

"Yes, these past two days they only arrived after we had set up camp and started eating. Commander, how about catching up with them? We still have no evidence."

"If my guess is correct, there must be something wrong with what they're transporting. Didn't the last branch give us three pigeons?"

"Yes, these three pigeons can fly to the next branch church."

Ye Ling whispered something in Bi Cheng's ear: "Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will write a note and send it to the next branch."

Ye Ling stopped when he was about to get in the car, turned around and walked towards Duan Peng: "Commander Duan."

"Envoy Ye, what's the matter?"

“Let’s walk faster today.”

"Okay." Duan Peng didn't ask the reason.

A quarter of an hour later, the team set off. Ye Ling closed his eyes and rested in the carriage: Mengmeng, are you sure there are human heartbeats in those cages?

"Yes, I can't be wrong," Mengmeng was sure.

Ye Ling continued in his heart: That's good. We have no evidence against that little maid, but I can find other evidence against them and accumulate merits at the same time. Maybe I can even repair the operating table.

"Yes, in order to save Jiuyou, many systems on the operating table have burned out. They must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise what will happen if you are in danger?"

Ye Ling: I am secondary. The main thing is Jiuyou. After repairing the operating bed, maybe I can help Jiuyou wake up.

According to Ye Ling's calculations, they caught up with the escort team in the evening. They had already started to rest, and when they saw Yelu Zongzhen's team coming, they were obviously a little abnormal and were all on full alert.

Ye Ling opened the car window and called out, "General Duan Kai?"

Duan Kai came over on horseback: "Night Envoy?"

"Tell your people not to have any friction with the escort team. Just pretend nothing happened. You are soldiers from another country and have no rights here. Once you take action, it will inevitably cause trouble. In addition, when you let the remaining maids go out to relieve themselves, be sure to have soldiers follow to protect them. Don't let anything happen again," Ye Ling instructed.

"Yes, I know." Duan Kai also understood this. Now the most important thing was to ensure that His Highness returned safely.

When the escort team saw that Yelu Zongzhen's troops had started to set up camp and had no reaction to them, they let down their guard.

The leader of the dart team was a bearded man who called out the names of four people before entering the tent.

The four heard the boss's shout and obediently went into the tent. One of them said, "Boss, don't be angry. They don't seem to have noticed. Maybe..."

"What could it be?" the eldest brother demanded harshly, "How dare you, fools, attack the people of another country's prince? They're following the people from Langya Pavilion. Don't you want to live? Do you know what we're transporting? If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences?"

"Boss, we haven't touched a woman for almost two months. Last night, that girl walked right under our noses. We were planning to have some fun with her, but she died not long after. Women in Xidu are too fragile."

"Shut up right there, before I bring you into trouble. If you dare to make another mistake, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will never dare to do that again."

"Get lost" was said in a very loud voice.

Night soon fell, and Ye Ling quietly approached a tree in front of the escort team. Looking at the carriage that was so close, he said to himself: Mengmeng, how is it, can you feel it completely this time?

"Master, there must be people in the cage, there are definitely many people," Mengmeng was very sure.

"That's good." Ye Ling left quietly again.

On the second day, the two teams resumed their previous march. Yelu Zongzhen walked in front and the escort team followed behind. They had completely forgotten the death of the maid.

The days passed one after another, and on September 17th, the two teams stationed outside the city to rest.

Yelu Zongzhen sent a small team, led by Duan Kai, to the city to purchase.

The clouds in the evening were fiery red. Ye Ling, wearing a white suit with red edges, walked straight towards the Tongshun Escort Agency with his hands behind his back. The token on his waist was particularly conspicuous.

Yelu Zongzheng was a little surprised: "What did she do?"

"Your Highness, our envoy said that you are not allowed to get involved in the affairs of our Cang Yue Kingdom," Bicheng said.

"What do you mean?"

"This... Your Highness will know it later. No matter what happens, your people cannot move," Bicheng emphasized again.

At this moment, the escort team members saw Ye Ling and became alert. The leader came out of the tent after hearing the noise. Seeing Ye Ling hesitate slightly, he bowed and said, "You are Ye Sishi of the Renzi Hall of Langya Pavilion, right?"

Ye Ling raised his lips slightly and bowed: "Exactly, Tongshun Escort Agency, how come I haven't heard of it."

"Of course Langya Pavilion doesn't know about our small escort agency. It was established recently, and this is the first time we are providing escort services." The boss already felt guilty.

Ye Ling nodded and looked towards the carriage: "What's the gift? I haven't seen you open the black cloth at all along the way."

The boss was panicking. "Those...are all things that can't be seen in public. The employer asked us to cover them with black cloth."

"Oh? A living creature that can't be seen in the light? This is the first time I've heard of it. Can I take a look?"

"No," the boss said a little excitedly, and the others were ready to fight.

The boss continued, "Envoy Ye, our escort agency has rules. You can't watch."

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "What if I really want to see it?"

"Envoy Ye, although you are from Langya Pavilion, you have no right to act like this, right?" The boss was displeased.

"You are really wrong this time. It is precisely because I am the envoy of Langya Pavilion that I am chatting with you here politely. Open the black cloth, I want to see what kind of living creature is afraid of being exposed to the light." Ye Ling said as he adjusted the red leather wristband.

"Envoy Ye, aren't you being a bit aggressive?" The boss also became tough.

"Do you want to lift it up yourselves, or should I do it myself?"

"Envoy Ye, if you are like this, you can't blame us for being rude."

"Hehe..." Ye Ling laughed: "You are still being rude to me. Come on, come on, let's do it. I want to see how capable you are."

"Stop her!" the boss gave the order, and the younger brothers drew their swords.

Ye Ling sneered: "You think you can stop me?" She flashed and rushed into the crowd in an instant.

Only the sword shadow flashed, and in just a few moves, Ye Ling snatched the opponent's knife and began to attack with all his strength.

In the distance, Yelu Zongzheng was getting nervous: "Bi Qianshi, why don't you go and help?"

"No! The envoy said that I must stay by your side and cannot leave you for a moment." Bicheng said this, feeling anxious in his heart.

Although the members of the escort team were all very skilled, they were no match for the master Ye Ling, and a large number of them fell in less than a moment.

At this moment, a crossbow arrow shot and killed a member of the dart team, and then a group of people galloped over and joined the battle.

The person who rushed over, "Night Envoy," jumped off his horse and said, "I am Li Xin, the head of the Yucheng branch hall. I am here to see Night Envoy."

"Master Li, you are too polite."

With the addition of the Yucheng branch, it ended quickly.

Ye Ling used a knife to remove the black cloth on the carriage, and inside was a child with his mouth tied and gagged.

Li Xin also quickly lifted up the other cloths. There was no doubt that they were all children.

Ye Ling turned around and glared at the boss: "How dare you engage in human trafficking."

Except for the eldest brother, the others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare our lives. We know we are wrong."

"Beast!" Li Xin kicked the boss and said, "Master, they are all sleeping."

"These beasts fed them drugs. Let's get the children out quickly," Ye Ling said and waved to Bicheng.

Bicheng quickly said, "Your Highness, may I borrow your accompanying imperial physician?"

"Duan Kai, go call the imperial physician." Yelu Zongzhen looked at Ye Ling with admiration again, and he slowly walked towards the escort team's area.

Ye Ling couldn't help but kick the boss again: "You beast, worse than pigs and dogs."

The boss was very upset. He shouldn't have followed Ye Ling for safety. Now everything was over.
