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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Nanlai - Official Road

At noon on March 27th, Ye Ling was by a small river, throwing stones and cursing angrily, "Damn Nangong Chen, he's walking like an ant, why can't he catch up? Jingchuan, did you take the wrong road?"

"Absolutely impossible. Perhaps they were delayed. After all, they had to distribute seeds and disaster relief funds to the people as they went along." Xue Jingchuan finished his explanation and paused for a moment before speaking again: "What exactly do you want to say to King Beichen? We're so familiar with each other, and you still don't trust me?"

"Those who drown are all good swimmers, and those who stab are often people around them, friends, and relatives, because enemies can never get close to us easily," Ye Ling said casually.

Xue Jingchuan nodded: "I don't refute what you said, it is indeed true, but we can't generalize. There are still some who are sincere and genuine."

"There are sounds of horse hooves, a lot of them." Ye Ling stood up and looked into the distance.

"Warhorse, it seems to be King Beichen." Xue Jingchuan also stood up.

"Nonsense, the one coming from our direction is Nangong Chen?" Ye Ling has begun to alert.

"You are really amazing. You hear so accurately." Xue Jingchuan also began to prepare for battle.

"You're not bad either. You can even recognize a warhorse. I can't even recognize one, let alone hear it."

"You've never been in a military camp, so you naturally can't tell. The sounds of horseshoes and bells are different."

Not long after, a group of masked men came running and stopped not far from the two of them without a doubt.

"Riding a warhorse but wearing a mask, which idiot came up with this idea?" Xue Jingchuan was speechless.

"Maybe they think I can't recognize the war horse, but I really can't recognize it." Ye Ling was not nervous.

Xue Jingchuan politely bowed and said, "My dear friends, may I have any advice for you?"

The leading man stepped forward and said, "I'll take your lives."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Lu Xun is really a black-hearted bastard. He has sent people to die time and again. Next time you come out, remember to change your horse."

The man in black looked down and thought to himself that it was not good, but it didn't matter because he just had to kill these two people. Then he gave an order and everyone rushed towards the two people by the river at the same time.

"Damn it!" Ye Ling jumped up instantly, drew out his sword, and flew directly towards the leading man.

The man was visibly shocked, unable to dodge, and his arm was injured. Ye Ling didn't give him a chance to breathe, brandishing both swords and starting the fight. One, two... It was his first time killing someone like this, and from the initial tentativeness to the murderous fury, it only took a moment.

At this moment, a well-organized team came running from the other side. Xuan Lei glanced at the river and quickly stopped: "Your Highness, it seems to be Master Xue and Miss Ye."

"Huh..." Nangong Chen also stopped and looked towards the river.

"Your Highness, it's true!" Shadow Blade said.

Nangong Chen rode his horse forward to help without saying a word, and his personal soldiers followed immediately.

Xuan Lei quickly said, "Everyone else, please rest here for a while."

With Nangong Chen's joining, soon there were few enemies left alive. Ye Ling didn't care at all and continued to kill them one by one.

"Ye Ling, save him alive," Xue Jingchuan reminded quickly, but it was too late.

The last one alive had been killed by Ye Ling. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Sorry, I was so angry that I couldn't stop."

Everyone present was shocked. It was the first time they had seen a woman killing people.

Ye Ling and Xue Jingchuan both bowed and said, "Greetings to King Beichen, may your majesty live a thousand years..."

"Alright," Nangong Chen interrupted them, "You two calling me a thousand years old seems fake to me."

"Your Highness, you are wrong. After all, we are both people who know some etiquette!" Xue Jingchuan said with a grin.

Nangong Chen's eyes were fixed on Ye Ling: "Are you okay?"

"How is that possible? Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing me." Ye Ling bowed again and wiped the blood from her cheek. "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me on this matter! Look, these are all war horses!"

Zhang Chong, the left deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, came over, holding a bloody scimitar. "Your Highness, they are indeed war horses."

"Prince" Ye Ling immediately burst into tears: "You have to make the decision!"

"Miss Ye, your expression changes so quickly! You were not like this when you killed someone just now!" Ying Ren was shocked.

"What do you know? That was the big size just now, now we have to switch to the small size. Your Highness, please say something!" Ye Ling said while shaking Nangong Chen's arm.

Everyone was stunned, waiting to see what was happening.

Nangong Chen felt goose bumps all over his body. He held it in for a long time before speaking: "Go wash the blood off your face and hands first, it will be difficult to wash after it dries."

Ye Ling was very dissatisfied with this answer. His back teeth made a sound when he gritted his teeth, and then he strode towards the river angrily.

Nangong Chen looked at the people who were watching the show and said, "What are you looking at? Clean up the battlefield and get ready to go."

"Yes," Zhang Chong responded quickly.

Nangong Chen looked at Xue Jingchuan: "Why are you here?"

"Go pick up King Beichen!" Xue Jingchuan replied.

"Ah?" Nangong Chen was puzzled.

"Ye Ling was coming to pick you up. I was afraid it would be unsafe for you to be alone, so I followed you. It turned out to be unsafe. I was exhausted from killing people. Fortunately, you came. I'll go take a shower too."

"Wait a minute," Nangong Chen stopped the person who was about to leave and confirmed again: "You said Ye Ling is coming to pick me up?"

"Yes, you heard right. She has a secret to tell you. She doesn't trust me, nor does she trust your secret village. She must come in person. Okay, I'm going to the river now."

Nangong Chen stood there for a long time before reacting. He immediately walked towards Ye Ling with a smile on his face and handed her a handkerchief thoughtfully: "Wipe it off."

Ye Ling took the handkerchief without hesitation: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Nangong Chen's eyes were full of smiles. "Are you the one who wants to come and pick me up?"

"What else? I almost lost my life, Zhan Ma. Your soldiers wanted to kill me, but you didn't care. Officials protect each other, soldiers and bandits are one family, none of them are good people. You bully an orphan like me, humph!" Ye Ling was very angry and turned away.

Nangong Chen hurriedly followed, saying as he walked, "How could I say I don't care? Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Do you think I believe it?"

"My word is law."

"Tsk~" Ye Ling took the bag off the saddle and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You are not allowed to follow me."

Ye Ling only took the bag symbolically, but actually hid in a deserted place, entered the space, and chose a bright red cross-collared dress with the same tight sleeves and waist.

Nangong Chen quickly asked Xue Jingchuan, "You said she has something to tell me?"

"Yes, based on my understanding of Ye Ling, this matter is not simple. She stayed in Nanlai specifically to wait for you. Also... did you bring a good doctor with you?" Xue Jingchuan asked.

"you're uncomfortable?"

"It's Ye Ling. Jiuyou said she had a head injury. On the way here, she fainted several times, all because of headaches."

"I only brought a military doctor with me, I'm afraid it won't be enough. When we get to Nanlai, I'll find a reliable doctor to see her. Tell me about your..." Nangong Chen stopped talking when he saw Ye Ling coming back: "We'll talk to you when we have time tonight."

"Wow! The red color looks good!" Xue Jingchuan praised.

"This way, when you kill someone, you won't see blood all over your body," said Ye Ling.

"Your Highness, everything has been packed up. Let's continue our journey while it's still early!" Zhang Chong said.

"Let's go!" Nangong Chen gave the order and the team moved forward again.

About two hours later, the sun set and the team set up camp in the wild.

Zhang Chong directed everyone to set up tents and gather firewood: "Yutong, take your men to hunt some game."

"Yes," Yutong responded.

Ye Ling stared straight at the man who was preparing to hunt, and spoke in his mind: Mengmeng, he is Yutong, the traitor, a member of the imperial guards.

"Master, the Imperial Guards are the confidants of King Beichen. Will he believe what you say?" Mengmeng said.

Ye Ling never took his eyes away: Who cares? It’s his business whether he listens or not.

"Right"

While Ye Ling was thinking and struggling, the sky darkened, a bonfire was lit, and the aroma of food wafted in the air.

Ye Ling approached Yu Tong intentionally and walked over to the fire where he was roasting the rabbit. "Is this ready? Can we eat it?"

Yutong glanced at Ye Ling with disdain and ignored Ye Ling.

Ye Ling was unhappy and was deliberately looking for trouble: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear the question?"

Yutong was instantly furious: "What a big tone! Don't think that just because His Highness is taking care of you, you can show off. A woman riding a horse and parading through the streets is embarrassing."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "You look down on women because you're afraid of losing to them, right? You shifty thing."

"How dare you!" Yu Tong stood up angrily. "Don't think you can show off just because you know a little bit of Kung Fu. I'm embarrassed for General Ye."

Ye Ling's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "You are not worthy of mentioning my father, because you are a dog. If you are not convinced, fight a few moves. Do you dare?"

"Looking for death" Yutong couldn't stand being humiliated by a woman and immediately launched an attack.

The surrounding soldiers immediately gathered around, looking like they were watching a show.

Ye Ling easily dodged Yu Tong's first three moves, and then began to counterattack.

Yu Tong’s martial arts skills were indeed weak. In less than ten moves, Ye Ling beat him to the point of spitting blood and falling to the ground.

Ye Ling stepped forward and stepped on Yu Tong's back: "Listen carefully, if you look down on women, I will step on you today. You are such a rubbish, you are so vulnerable!"

Xue Jingchuan, who was watching the show with Ye Ling, came over and pulled Ye Ling away from the battlefield.

Ye Ling also took the roasted rabbit away. Seeing Nangong Chen, she quickly said, "You can't blame me for this. He scolded me first and then attacked me. I was defending myself. Who knew your Imperial Guards general was so weak? I just wanted to eat rabbit meat."

"I saw it," said Nangong Chen. He was a little confused and didn't understand why Ye Ling wanted to cause trouble for Yutong.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Jingchuan, eat meat. Here you go."

"Thank you." Xue Jingchuan also took the meat with a smile.

Ye Ling gave Nangong Chen another portion: "Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Nangong Chen also took the meat and ignored the injured Yutong. He deserved it if he lost.

Ye Ling finally took a bite of the meat, then said with a painful expression: "It's so disgusting!"

"Very good," said Xue Jingchuan.

"It has no taste at all! I shouldn't have asked for it and fought with others for a rabbit." Ye Ling simply didn't want to eat it anymore.

Nangong Chen, a picky eater, also ate with gusto: "When we were fighting in the past, this thing was always a must-have."

Ye Ling was too lazy to talk, so she stood up and walked towards her independent little tent to rest.
