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

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

It’s the end of July, and it’s still extremely hot in Zhezhou, as if the rain yesterday hadn’t fallen.

Ye Ling supported Su Su and walked slowly in the front yard, while Meng Jing sat on the swing and ate snacks.

Su Su walked over and said, "Jingjing, stop eating. Look at you, you've gained a lot of weight."

"What's wrong with being fat? Being fat means I'm healthy, isn't it Sister Buye?" Meng Jing asked with a chubby face.

"Yes, you look like a Tang Dynasty beauty now, and you are very suitable for the ancient style," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Which country is the Tang Dynasty? I've never heard of it?" Meng Jing asked.

"I just said it casually, you don't need to remember it, just eat your snack."

Meng Jing took a bite of the food in her hand, and suddenly remembered something. She quickly put the plate on the swing, ran over to support Su Su's other arm, and whispered, "Sister Ye, how is the matter I asked you to ask?"

"You're not really falling in love with Zhuo Sishi at first sight, are you?" Su Su was surprised.

"What else? Sister Ye, have you asked?"

"I asked him about himself. He was 31 years old and had no family. He had an elderly mother living in the mountains behind him. He also agreed to let me help him find a suitable woman."

"Really?" Meng Jing was delighted to see this. "Then what do you think of his character?"

"You are a skilled martial artist and a man of integrity. You are a very good husband. I will help you two meet again. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Ye."

"Miss Ye" Du Jiang entered the gate.

"Envoy Du Qian is here, please take a seat." Ye Ling helped Su Su sit down and greeted the guest: "Come, have a cup of cold tea to cool down."

"Thank you, Miss Ye." Du Jiang bowed to Su Su before sitting down: "Madam."

"Envoy Du Qian, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat," said Su Su.

Du Jiang sat down and took out the letter: "Miss Ye, this is a private letter for you. It just arrived at the Noble House. The envoy asked me to give it to you."

"It's from Brother You," Ye Ling took the letter and opened it. "Let me see what it is." After glancing over it, he continued, "The Jianghu is going to besiege Phoenix Mountain, but that old bastard Meng Molin is dragging Jingchuan down with him. It's so infuriating. No, I have to go ask Yue Chi."

"Why ask Yue Sishi?" Du Jiang was puzzled.

"Ask my senior brother and your Ji Sishi. They wear the same pants and share the same quilt, so they definitely won't tell me. Yue Chi is more reliable. Sister-in-law, you take a walk first, I'll be back soon." Ye Ling said as he stood up and left.

Su Su's expression was shocked. "Du Qianshi, Sister Ling just said...that Ji Sishi and my husband are sharing a quilt?"

"Ah?" Du Jiang didn't react for a moment: "Madam, you misunderstood. Miss Ye was just giving an example, it's not true!"

Su Su then stroked his chest with relief: "I was scared to death."

"Haha..." Du Jiang smiled bitterly: "You scared me to death, so I'll leave first."

"Du Qianshi, take care. Qiuju, see you off," said Su Su.

"Yes," Qiuju responded.

In the Dizi Hall, Yue Chi was busy writing a letter when Qianshi Qiao Rui walked in: "Secretary, Miss Ye is here."

"Hurry up and come in!" Yue Chi immediately put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the door of the study: "Junior Sister Ye is here, please sit down. Qiao Rui, quickly bring the cold tea, snacks and dried fruits, go get them."

"No, no, I just came to ask a question..."

"Sit down." Before Ye Ling could finish her words, Yue Chi pushed her down and said, "We can talk about big things while eating. You finally came to my place. Come, have some tea first."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yue. Senior Brother Yue, I would like to ask about the siege of Phoenix Mountain by the major sects."

"Ask, what do you want to know?" Yue Chi was very happy.

"I wonder if they'll just go up there and kill everyone?"

"What are you thinking? They are not bandits. They will not kill the elderly, the weak, women, and children. At most, they killed Meng Molin and his guards."

"What about Xue Jingchuan?"

Upon hearing this question, Yue Chi paused. "As for Young Master Xue, if he hadn't participated in the resistance, he wouldn't have been killed. Now everyone in the martial arts world knows that he was under house arrest by Meng Molin."

"So you knew this a long time ago and kept it from me?"

"Um... Junior Sister Ye, the Pavilion Master is doing this for your own good. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once you get involved, it will be difficult to escape. Do you understand?"

"I know I'm doing this for my own good. You guys really don't understand me at all," Ye Ling said as he fell into deep thought: Mengmeng, Jingchuan is my friend. Tell me, should I just sit back and do nothing?

"Master, Phoenix Mountain is far away from here. You won't have time to get there. Otherwise, can you think of another way?"

"Junior Sister Ye?" Yue Chi called out.

"Hmm?" Ye Ling immediately came back to his senses: "Can I borrow your pen and ink?"

"Use it. It's on the table over there."

Ye Ling stood up and walked to the desk, picking up his pen and starting to write. After a moment, he put the pen down and stood up: "Senior Brother Yue, please send someone to Immortal Peak to tell Jiuyou and the others that I will be back in the evening."

"where are you going?"

"I'm going down the mountain to Zhezhou City. That's all. Lend me your horse." Ye Ling walked out while instructing: "Be sure to tell Jiuyou that I will be back in the evening. Don't let him run down the mountain, otherwise I will be angry."

“No…” When Yue Chi chased out, the person had already disappeared.

Ye Ling asked Qiao Rui for a horse and galloped down the mountain. In less than two hours, he entered Zhezhou City, tied the horse to a tree, hid his whereabouts, entered the space and changed into black men's clothes. A quarter of an hour later, he came to a rouge shop and went in only after confirming that there was no tail.

Business was good in the hall, with many women choosing rouge. The owner greeted them warmly: "Miss, what would you like to order?"

Ye Ling looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he took out a dark green jade pendant and showed it to the boss.

The boss was shocked and said quickly: "Dear guest, I have a lot of high-quality rouge on the second floor. Please follow me."

After going upstairs, the boss closed the door and bowed respectfully: "May I know your name?"

"What do you think?" Ye Ling asked back.

"Master, please forgive me. I shouldn't have asked this question. I don't know why you came here?" The boss was obviously very scared.

Ye Ling took out the letter she had written and said, "Send it 800 miles with urgency back to the capital and hand it over to the Grand Councilor Yue Kun. There must be no mistakes."

"I understand, and I will do it immediately."

"Get me a few boxes of good rouge, packed in triplicate."

"Yes." The boss quickly took out three portions of top-grade rouge and said, "Captain, please keep them."

"how much is it?"

"I dare not ask you for money!"

Ye Ling directly took out a silver note and placed it on the table: "One thing is one thing, I'm leaving."

"Respectfully send the leader off." The boss looked at the person leaving and immediately ordered, "Come here, send it back to the leader of Lima Yue Pavilion at an expedited speed of 800 miles. No mistakes, and quickly."

"Yes." A guard in black took the letter and left through the back door.

At this moment, in the Ganlu Hall of Langya Pavilion, Jiuyou was extremely anxious. "Brother, do you think Senior Sister is in danger? She is fine, why did she go to Zhezhou City? And she won't let me go find her? I'm so worried. Senior Brother, please say a few words!"

"Why don't you go find your junior sister?" Mo Yufeng asked helplessly.

"Didn't Senior Sister tell me not to leave the mountain?"

Ji Ruochen, standing by, was so angry that he had a headache. "Ninth Junior Brother, if I were you, and my beloved was missing, I wouldn't care what she said. Hurry down and go down the mountain to find her! You are a man."

Jiuyou turned and left after hearing this. Mo Yufeng felt helpless: "I always feel that they are just two children playing house. Why is it that each one is more stupid than the other?"

"Jiuyou is not stupid, he just hides his nature. The Jiu family are all big figures, and it is rumored that they are wild and difficult to tame. Jiuyou grew up in Cangyue Country and lived a displaced life. When he met a strong woman like Junior Sister, his young heart was instantly unable to extricate himself, so he obeyed her every word. Aren't you worried about Junior Sister at all?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"She is not stupid and will not put herself in danger. At most, she will just pass on a message. She has done the most. She will not go to Phoenix Mountain," Mo Yufeng was very sure.

Ye Ling had already left the city and was heading back. She was afraid that Jiuyou and Mo Yufeng would worry, so she didn't dare to delay.

The mountain road was winding, and two galloping horses suddenly met head-on. Both drivers quickly reined in their horses.

Ye Ling was helpless: "Junior brother, why did you come down the mountain?"

"I'm worried about you. Next time you go out, you must ask me to go with you. Are you... okay?" Jiuyou glanced at Ye Ling's whole body, fearing that his senior sister would come back with some parts missing.

"Please, I'm a master from the Langya List. Looking around the world, how many people can catch me? And you also know that I have space. If you can't beat me, just show your weakness. Even the gods won't be able to find me. Hurry and go back!"

"I don't care. You must call me next time." Jiuyou said, turning his horse's head and said, "Senior Sister, can you tell me what you did when you went down the mountain?"

"Of course! Xue Jingchuan is my friend. Even if I can't be so kind as to rush to Phoenix Mountain to save him, I still have to do something, right? I wrote a letter to Nangong Che, asking him to send Black Hawk to rescue him as soon as possible. These people are stupid," said Ye Ling.

"Nangong Che? Did you ask the Guiren Pavilion to deliver the message? No matter how powerful the Guiren Pavilion is, by the time their letter reaches the emperor, it would have been a done deal. It would be better to ask Senior Brother for help."

“Senior brother, this side is also slow. Nangong Che’s dark village can travel a thousand miles a day. Isn’t it the fastest? We can also deliver the letter to Nangong Che as soon as possible.”

Jiuyou looked at Ye Ling in surprise: "How do you know about Nangong Che's secret village? Also, why would his secret village obey your orders?"

"It's a long story. A long time ago, when you were unconscious, Nangong Che asked Yue Kun to send me a jade token representing my identity. He also told me the location of the secret village in Zhezhou and Nanlai, saying that it was just in case and could be used to send a message. Isn't it used now?"

"Is that so?" Jiuyou felt uncomfortable: "Senior Sister, the emperor has told you the location of his secret village, you...you should stop associating with him."

"We haven't been in contact to begin with. This time it's not about Jingchuan, he's your friend, isn't he? We've lived together for so long, you have to do something at a time like this, right? Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to see the bloody Jingchuan in the future. When he heard that something happened to me, he rushed back to Nanlai from Dayu. You have to remember this."

"The emperor must have known about it a long time ago. If he wanted to send someone to rescue them, he would have done so long ago."
