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

Cangzhou, Cangyue Kingdom

Time flies, and it is October 3rd in a blink of an eye. Ye Ling has been in Cangzhou for eight days. He feels that it is boring. Apart from being able to say a few words to Leng Yue every day, he has nothing in common with other people.

Leng Ao Yun also hosted a banquet for several generals at his home. When they saw Ye Ling, they all gave him all kinds of commercial compliments.

Faced with such a boring life, Ye Ling decided to leave, as Langya Pavilion was more fun.

Leng Yue pulled the horse and escorted Ye Ling out of the city to the official road: "Ling'er, we don't know when we will meet again, so be careful on your way back."

"Don't worry, cousin, Bicheng and the others are ahead, I will catch up with them soon," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, if you want to go, I can't stop you. Have a safe trip." There was some reluctance in Leng Yue's eyes.

Ye Ling smiled and walked forward to give Leng Yue a hug: "With you as my brother, I will always have someone to care about no matter where I go."

Leng Yue raised her hand and gently hugged Ye Ling's back: "Cousin will miss you and write to you."

Ye Ling let go of Leng Yue and got on his horse: "Cousin, the mountains remain unchanged, the rivers flow forever, and we have a long way to go. We will meet again later. Go..."

Looking at the man riding away on horseback, Leng Yue smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "You are an eagle, who likes to soar between heaven and earth. No one can trap you. Have a safe journey."

Ye Ling was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running freely. Perhaps as Leng Yue said, she was an eagle flying freely, and did not like being controlled. The life she wanted was to gallop freely.

After a day, the horse was tired, and Ye Ling was tired too. She put the horse directly into the room where it had been fed before, poured it with high-quality feed, then washed it up and went to Jiuyou's room.

After checking, Ye Ling asked Meng Meng to move the patient to the operating table: "Check the patient's condition. I have been doing well in the wild in the past few days. As an operating table, you have also recovered all your functions. Don't fool me anymore."

"Master, please rest assured. I'll check right away," the person on the operating table replied mechanically. After a moment, he continued, "Master, I have good news. The patient has regained most of his consciousness. In other words, he can vaguely hear you talking. You should talk to him more. It will help him wake up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling was extremely excited: "Mengmeng, did you hear that? That's great, that's great."

"Congratulations, Master." Meng Meng was also happy and sent Jiuyou back.

Ye Ling got on the bed and lay beside Jiu You, and began to chatter to him: "You must wake up soon! I've been sleeping with you for almost two months, you have to give me a sense of status, right? It's not right to be so unclear, right?

Don’t think that you can pretend I didn’t hear you just because you don’t say anything. I’m telling you, if you dare to be irresponsible to me, I will make you a eunuch. Think about it carefully!

Why are you still silent? Isn’t that too much? "

After Ye Ling's chattering, the space gradually became quiet, and Meng Meng sensibly turned off the light in Jiuyou's room.

For the next ten days, Ye Ling traveled frantically during the day and entered the space at night. Occasionally, he would use a small stove to cook some food in the evening and then put it in the space. He usually cooked one meal and ate it for several meals.

On October 15th, they were almost in Zhezhou. The weather was still not too cold. Ye Ling, dressed in black men's clothing, galloped down the official road on horseback. The reason she wore men's clothing was simply to follow her heart.

Just after noon, Ye Ling passed by a tea stall beside the official road and suddenly wanted to drink a cup of hot tea. He tied his horse to a pillar nearby and sat at an empty table: "Boss, a bowl of hot tea."

"Please wait a moment, sir. It will be right there," the boss responded enthusiastically.

The tea stall is not very big, with only four tables, but they are basically all occupied by people, including scholars, bosses, and swordsmen, all of whom are taking a break and drinking tea.

The boss brought a pot of hot tea and an empty bowl: "Sir, enjoy your tea."

"Thank you," Ye Ling said, then poured himself a cup and took two sips. His stomach instantly felt warm.

Yelu Liangzhu happened to be stopping here as well. With his back to Ye Ling, he recognized the voice as familiar, so he stood up and went forward to check: "Are you... the young master from the restaurant?"

Ye Ling was also very surprised: "Chu Liang?"

"Right, right, right," Yelu Liangzhu excitedly sat down opposite Ye Ling. "What a coincidence, isn't it? We can even meet like this, it's fate!"

"It's indeed... a miracle." Ye Ling smiled helplessly: "Where are you planning to go, Master Chu?"

"Zhezhou"

Ye Ling looked incredulous: "Interesting."

"You're not going to Zhezhou too, are you? That's great. I'm alone, can I come with you?" Yelu Liangzhu looked expectant.

"Mr. Chu set out several days earlier than me, how come he only got here now?" Ye Ling did not respond.

Yelu Liangzhu gave an awkward laugh. "I've never left home since I was a child, let alone been to a foreign country. That's why I always get lost and keep turning back. So... ah~ It's hard to put it into words!"

Ye Ling smiled unkindly: "That really is... an expression of sympathy."

"That's right, sir. You are from Cang Yue Country. Judging from your appearance, you must be familiar with the road. Can you take me to Zhezhou? We can keep each other company."

"This...I'm afraid it's not very convenient." Ye Ling wanted to decline.

"No! I really... Look at me, if I go to Zhezhou alone, I don't know how long it will take. Aren't you alone too? Let's travel together and talk on the way, right?" Yelu Liangzhu had already decided to follow the other person. He couldn't keep going like this as he didn't know the way at all.

Ye Ling drank tea by herself. She really didn't want to travel with others, as it would be inconvenient at night.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Yelu Liangzhu almost begged: "Sir, you see, we are all children of the underworld. Please, lead the way, okay?"

Ye Ling nodded helplessly: "Alright! Let's go together for now. If something happens along the way, I can change my destination at any time."

"Okay, okay, no problem." Yelu Liangzhu immediately took out ten coins and said, "Boss, I'll give it to this young man together."

"Thank you," Ye Ling said perfunctorily.

"What's that? When we get to the next town, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you for leading the way." Yelu Liangzhu always treated people sincerely. He wanted to completely leave the royal family and become an ordinary man in the world. He also wanted to enter the Langya Pavilion and become a member of the Langya Pavilion. This was almost his only dream since he was a child, so he went to Zhezhou. Of course, he did not go there blindly. He asked Yuan Zhen, the master of the Cangzhou branch, for a letter of introduction so that he could ensure that he could enter smoothly.

Ye Ling said as he drank, "Mr. Chu, the martial world is not easy to navigate. If you're not careful, you'll end up in pieces."

Yelu Liangzhu smiled bitterly: "Nothing in this world is easy, but compared to the suffocating family cage, what's the harm in being torn to pieces?"

"Mr. Chu is a man with a story!"

"From childhood to adulthood, everything for me was arranged by my elders, including studying, making friends, getting married and having children. I was like a puppet. This time I finally escaped, and I have no plans to go back. The worst that can happen is death, which is better than being a pawn." Yelu Liangzhu's eyes were firm.

Ye Ling nodded: "Everyone has their own difficulties. My master once said that if you live in the martial arts world, you are doomed."

"Master, what you said is very good. If you can get by, who would want to be stranded in the rivers and lakes and drift with the wind?" Yelu Liangzhu felt the same way: "Sir, you see we are all traveling together. Can you tell me your names?"

"Nine Netherworlds"

"Jiuyou? Last name Jiu?"

"Just call me Jiuyou."

"Isn't that a bit rude?"

"It's okay, names are meant to be called. Let's go! Let's set off." Ye Ling got up to lead the horse.

Yelu Liangzhu also hurriedly took his horse, and the two of them set off together. They rode non-stop all the way, and in the evening they arrived at a wild inn. This was the inn that Ye Ling had stayed in when she was escorting Yelu Zongzheng. If she were alone today, she would definitely not stay there, but she had a child with her, so she had to stay.

There were quite a few people staying in the inn, and it was quite lively upstairs and downstairs, with people drinking and chatting in groups of three or four.

When the boss saw Ye Ling and the other person enter, he immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Young masters, are you staying at the hotel?"

"It's already dark, why would I come to your place and not stay in the hotel?" Ye Ling said as they walked over, "Two rooms upstairs."

"I'll do it, I'll do it," Yelu Liangzhu rushed to pay.

"Hey! Two more distinguished guests!" The proprietress, a woman over thirty but still charming, came down from the second floor in a gorgeous outfit. "Wow! These two gentlemen are so handsome!"

The boss glared at his wife. As a son-in-law who lived with the wife's wife's family, he could only be angry but not say anything.

Yelu Liangzhu looked confused, but Ye Ling was used to it because the last time she stayed there, the landlady had tried to seduce Yelu Zongzhen in various ways, but unfortunately he didn't like her.

"I will personally take the two distinguished guests to the upper room," the proprietress walked in front, twisting her slender waist.

Ye Ling and Yelu Liangzhu followed behind speechlessly.

The upper room was still clean and tidy. Ye Ling lived in the same room as last time, and Yelu Liangzhu was next door to her.

Ye Ling entered her room. The landlady was staring at Yelu Liangzhu next door with shining eyes: "Sir, can you take a bath tonight?"

“No… no need,” Yelu Liangzhu refused: “Please go out!”

"Okay," the proprietress said a little disappointedly, "then you two should pack up and go downstairs for dinner. If you go too late, there won't be as many dishes to choose from."

"Thank you," Yelu Liangzhu didn't want to say another word.

Not long after the proprietress went downstairs, Ye Ling and Yelu Liangzhu came downstairs and found an empty seat to sit down.

The proprietress snatched the menu from Xiao Er's hand and walked towards the table: "What would you two gentlemen like to eat?"

"Chu Liang, take a look at what you like to eat. I don't care. Get me a pot of good wine," Ye Ling said.

Yelu Liangzhu looked at the menu and ordered five or six pieces. Even if there were more, two people wouldn't be able to finish them.

After returning the menu, the proprietress came over with a wine pot and three wine glasses. "May I ask the two gentlemen for a glass of wine?"

Ye Ling looked at Yelu Liangzhu and motioned him to speak.

Yelu Liangzhu was also helpless, as he was somewhat bad at refusing people.

The proprietress was happy: "Since you two don't say anything, I will take it as your consent. Later, I can dance for you two to entertain you. How about that?"

At this moment, guests from other tables were dissatisfied:

"Madam Boss, why don't we get this treatment?"

"Exactly, why do you still judge people by their appearance?"

"Yes, we also want the boss lady to dance and drink with us to liven up the atmosphere."
