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

Cangyue Kingdom Yunzhou

After returning to the room, Ye Ling immediately entered the space and cursed: "Gong Yue is indeed problematic. He found a fake Taoist priest named Xianhe. There are so many loopholes. Tell me, does he take me lightly?"

Jiuyou came over with a cup of water: "Senior Sister, drink some water, don't be angry."

"Is Enze asleep?"

"He has a good habit of going to bed as soon as it gets dark. What are you going to do next, Senior Sister? This is a big deal. There's a problem within Langya Pavilion."

Ye Ling was silent for a long time. "Jiuyou, I still can't understand why Senior Brother wants to be the head of Langya Pavilion? Isn't it good to live an ordinary life with Susu? Why wade into this mess?"

"Some things are beyond our control. No one can predict fate. The most urgent thing is to inform our senior brother about this. After all, we are from the same sect and he treats us like his own brothers and sisters. We can't just sit back and watch."

"Of course I know. I used to think that one person's food feeds the whole family, but now I'm increasingly worried. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how to quickly send the news back to Langya Pavilion. The branches in various places are no longer available, and I'm also worried about Guiren Hall and Tianlaike."

"But even if we gallop, it will take us more than 20 days to get back. It's too slow."

Ye Ling closed his eyes and leaned against the sofa, thinking hard. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I have an idea."

"Who?"

"Nangong Chen is not from the Jianghu, and his character is pretty good. Let his secret village deliver the message for us. This is the only solution I can think of at the moment."

"That's fine. Regardless of other things, King Kaoshan has absolutely no problems in dealing with people. There shouldn't be any mistakes in delivering a message," Jiuyou also agreed.

"Okay, then get some rest. We'll set off for Langya Pavilion tomorrow."

"it is good"

The night of June 20th was already getting dark, especially after midnight. The streets and alleys of Yunzhou were plunged into darkness and all businesses were closed.

At the Langya Pavilion branch hall, Gong Yue practically trotted all the way to the living room. Seeing someone standing with their back to him, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master. I didn't know you were coming so late at night, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you'll forgive me."

The man didn't turn around, and said quietly, "Gong Yue, my father tried every possible means to get you into Langya Pavilion. Now that you're the head of the hall, do you already have someone in your heart?"

Gong Yue was obviously frightened and immediately responded, "Master, what are you talking about? I am your family in life and your ghost in death. I have no second thoughts."

"Really? You have no second thoughts?" The man said as he slowly turned around, a golden mask on his face. "Gong Yue, do you know you've made a serious mistake? Do you have a pig's brain?"

Gong Yue was confused: "Master, what do you mean? Please explain."

"Who told you to find someone to meet Ye Ling at random? Do you have no brains? Ye Ling is a smart person. She can see through your tricks at a glance. Can you respect your opponent?" The man was very angry.

Gong Yue hesitated to speak: "Master, this... Although Ye Ling is a martial arts master, she is a woman after all. How can a woman have the adaptability of a man? She can't tell that it is..."

"Shut up!" the man interrupted Gong Yue. "You idiot, I really don't know how you became the head of this hall. Langya Pavilion is really blind and blind."

Gong Yue was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

The man continued, "You've alerted the snake. Because of your mistake, our entire plan has to be rearranged, and we have to get rid of this venomous snake."

Gong Yue knelt down and said, "I was careless for a moment. Please punish me, Master."

"Alright, if this wasn't a time to use someone, I would definitely punish you."

"Thank you, Master. Then... is Gu Enze really not with Ye Ling?"

"This is a strange thing. I can't figure it out. The people we sent to follow Bicheng said they didn't see the child along the way. But our people along the way also said they didn't see Jiuyou or the child. It was always Ye Ling."

"So...kill Ye Ling in Yunzhou?"

"Do you have the guts to kill him?" the man asked.

Gong Yue shook her head: "She's too powerful. Even dozens of her subordinates might not be able to kill her!"

The man slowly sat down on the stool. "This matter was originally flawless and proceeded step by step, but who knew Ye Ling would suddenly appear. The most terrible thing is that she has already noticed that something is wrong with you. When she returns to Langya Pavilion, she will definitely tell Mo Yufeng. Then not only you, but also the Dark Manor of Langya Pavilion will suffer. All this is your fault. You are so self-righteous and pretend to be the Taoist Master Xianhe. Do you think others are fools? Just because someone says he is the Taoist Master Xianhe, does that mean he is the real Taoist Master Xianhe?"

"But Ye Ling said that she has not met me, Taoist Xianhe, so I made this decision. I was thinking about whether I could have the child. If this child doesn't die, how can we spread rumors about Langya Pavilion? Without rumors, Langya Pavilion is an iron bucket, and we have no way to start," Gong Yue explained helplessly.

"Ye Ling, what father said is indeed true. Ever since the Yin-Yang Blade came into being, anyone who wields it has been considered a powerful figure. Yet you treat her as a woman? You are truly blind. You are not allowed to interfere in this matter anymore. Your mission is to monitor all movements of the Langya Pavilion."

"Yes, I understand." Gong Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The man stood up and picked up the teacup: "Tea instead of wine, Master Gong, please."

Gong Yue was a little flattered and quickly held up another teacup: "You are embarrassing me. I should be toasting you. Please, Master."

Watching Gong Yue drink the tea, the man smiled imperceptibly.

A moment later, the man left the branch hall without anyone noticing and got on a carriage in the alley.

Another man with a half-covered face got on the carriage and said, "Master, the pigeon has already flown out."

The man with the golden mask wiped his hands and said, "Waste! All those chosen by my father are waste. This has just begun and we have already created a difficult problem."

"Did you drug Gong Yue?"

"He deserves to die. If we can't kill Ye Ling within ten days, he will die of poison. This is called a gecko cutting off its tail. Gong Yue knows too much. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"I understand. Gong Yue is dead. Even if Ye Ling told Mo Yufeng, he would have no way to track her down."

"I still hope that father can send someone to rob and kill Ye Ling. If he stays here, he will always be a nuisance, and even worse, he will ruin our plan."

“It’s not easy to kill!”

"She has to be killed, but luckily she's alone. We have more than 20 days to kill her. Once she returns to Langya Pavilion, she won't have a chance to return."

"More than twenty days? But...will she send a pigeon back to Langya Pavilion? Mo Yufeng will also know about this in advance."

"Don't worry. I've been keeping an eye on Ye Ling for over a year now. This woman is suspicious by nature and doesn't trust anyone. Now that she knows there's something wrong with Gong Yue, she won't use the Langya Pavilion branch to spread the word."

"What about the Noble House and the Heavenly Visitors?"

"These are all outsiders. With such a big thing happening, she's probably paranoid and definitely won't use these two channels to pass on information. So she'll go to the Leng Family Business alone. But she's had a falling out with Leng Yan, and with Ye Ling's personality, she won't go looking for Leng Yan."

"What if?"

"Don't worry, to ensure everything goes well, I've already sent people to keep an eye on the Leng Family Business, the Guiren Pavilion, and the Tianlai Guest House."

"Young Master is still far-sighted."

The man in the golden mask closed his eyes as he looked at the carriage: "Let's think more about how to kill this poisonous snake!"

The next morning, Ye Ling was ready early. Youminglang sent her to the gate of the inn and they set off under the watchful eyes of all the spies.

Ye Ling did not leave the city immediately, but went to Kaoshan Palace.

Ying Ren trotted to the gate and saw Ye Ling with a surprised look on her face: "Miss... Miss Ye, why are you here?"

"What's the matter? Yesterday your prince said he was welcome at any time, but today he won't let us in?" Ye Ling asked.

"No, no, Miss Ye, please come in," Ying Ren saw it happily.

At Kaoshan Palace, Nangong Chen was not depressed by yesterday's match. Seeing Ye Ling's smiling face, he said, "Miss Ye, you are honored to have us here!"

"Greetings, Your Highness," Ye Ling bowed perfunctorily.

"Miss Ye, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat," Nangong Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Ling sat down and got straight to the point. "Your Highness, I have a letter here. I want you to quickly pass it back to Langya Pavilion and to my senior brother. This matter is a secret and cannot be known to anyone other than you, me, and Shadow Blade."

"No problem," Nangong Chen agreed without even thinking: "I will send it back to you in an expedited manner, eight hundred miles away."

Ye Ling was somewhat surprised. "Thank you very much, Your Highness. However, I don't like to owe favors to others. You name a price. Of course, if you ask for too much, I may not be able to pay it. But I can help you kill someone. Just tell me the name and I will kill him. I guarantee it will be done for you."

While Ye Ling was speaking, Nangong Chen kept staring at her and smiling. You could say this woman is fierce, and she is indeed fierce, but you could also say she is cute, and she is very cute. She is the kind of person that makes people both afraid and like to approach her.

Looking at the silent person, Ye Ling stretched out his hand and waved: "Your Majesty? Are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening," Nangong Chen replied with a smile, "Since you don't have any money, let's kill someone!"

"That's a good job, you tell me the name."

"Shadow Blade, go get the wanted warrant."

"Yes," Ying Ren responded and left. He came back a moment later with a wanted warrant in his hand for Ye Ling.

Ye Ling opened it and checked: "Chasing the Wind and Lightning? Who is that? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"These two are twin brothers, Da'e people, who entered Cang Yue Nation only within the past year. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of evil. However, because they are good at light martial arts and are good at hiding, the government and the Wulin Alliance have never caught them. A few days ago, the governor of Yunzhou came to me with a wanted order for help, but if I want to leave my fiefdom, I have to ask the emperor for permission, which is too troublesome. So, I will deliver the letter to you, and you kill someone, and then the two thousand taels of reward on the wanted order will be yours."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I don't want to owe anyone a favor. So, do you have any recent itineraries for these two people?"

"Yes, are you going back to Langya Pavilion?"

"Yes!"

"That's perfect. According to intelligence, the two of them have been active in Yunzhou recently. You happen to be passing by. I'll let Shadow Blade go with you. Once you get to Yunzhou, you can use my secret village to investigate them."

"Yunzhou? Is it the next state capital of Yunzhou? I remember it was also your territory?"

"Yes, there was only Yunzhou before, but the current emperor has added Yunzhou and Qingzhou to this king."

"Alright! Then, little brother, pack up and we'll set off immediately. We'll arrive in Yunzhou in about five days."

"Okay," Shadow Blade agreed happily.
