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

Cang Yue Nation - Nanlai - Langya Pavilion Branch

On the night of April 9th, Mu Xia invited Ye Ling to the secret room and prepared dessert for her.

Ye Ling took Wan Qi with him and they both had a very happy meal.

Mu Xia was watching quietly at the side: Brother Ye, Brother Ye, you have devoted half your life to the country and never even saw your own children, yet you died inexplicably, leaving this girl alone and helpless, suffering from all kinds of cold stares. She was only eighteen years old, a good age to get married, but she has to fight for her life here to find a way out for herself. If you are in heaven, are you heartbroken?

"Uncle Mu," Ye Ling said, "I'm sorry for not coming up with you that day."

"It's okay, just be cautious. Who is this child?"

"She is an orphan left by my father's men, and I have to support her."

"You are still a child, how are you going to support her?" Mu Xia felt distressed.

Ye Ling smiled sweetly: "Nothing, I can do it. Uncle, you won't just let me have dessert tonight, right?"

"No, your master is your great uncle, right?"

"Uncle guessed correctly, it was him, but he said he wanted to retire to the mountains and then disappeared."

"Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. Five years ago, he said he wanted to retire to the mountains. What happened? He secretly found you, taught you martial arts, and didn't even tell me."

"Uncle, don't be angry. By the way, who will fight me tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, he heard that you were injured while rescuing the emperor, so he took a detour and came here to fend off other masters for you."

"Who is he?" Ye Ling was curious.

"You'll know when we meet tomorrow. Rest well tonight," Mucha pretended to be mysterious.

The next morning, Ye Ling got up early and sent Wan Qi into the space for the first time.

Wanqi was pulled in with her eyes closed. After opening her eyes, she looked at everything curiously.

"Wanqi, this is the bird my sister raised. Its name is Mengmeng and it can talk. You just eat here obediently. These books are prepared for you. They are all pictures and you can understand them. If you are tired, you can sleep on the sofa. There is a toilet over there. If you don't understand anything, just ask Mengmeng," said Ye Ling.

"Okay." Wan Qi hurried over and sat on the sofa that Ye Ling mentioned.

"Master, don't worry, Mengmeng will take good care of Wanqi." Mengmeng flew around. It was very happy because finally someone was talking to it.

Ye Ling left the space with peace of mind and came to the competition arena. There were surprisingly few people today, which seemed to be Mu Xia's intentional arrangement.

"Xiao Ye Ling is here." Xue Jingchuan arrived early and smiled happily: "Guess who I saw?"

"Who?"

"Your opponent today, just go on stage with peace of mind. He won't use any heavy hands, he's just going through the motions," Xue Jingchuan said with a smile.

"Who is it?"

"He wouldn't let me tell you, saying it depends on whether you can recognize him."

"It's getting difficult," Ye Ling said with a wry smile. It seemed like it was another game with acquaintances!

Following the sound of a drum, a man in his thirties, dressed in a black robe with tight sleeves and a waist, flew onto the stage. He looked at Ye Ling and smiled faintly, "Ye Ling, come up."

Ye Ling flew onto the stage and tried hard to observe the other person. He indeed looked very familiar: Mengmeng, look who he is?

"Meng Meng has seen it, but I don't know anyone the previous owner has never seen."

Ye Ling cursed inwardly: What use is there for you?

"Look after your children for you!" Mengmeng replied.

"Ye Ling, today we will fight with our bare hands, without any weapons," said the man.

"Okay." No matter what, Ye Ling decided to fight first and deal with other things later.

The drum beats went from slow to fast. Although the two men had agreed to be polite beforehand, they still fought each other in earnest.

Ye Ling felt that the other party was quite strong, but if a fight really broke out, she was confident that she would win.

After dozens of moves, Ye Ling threw a punch and the man fell off the stage.

“Good!” Everyone at the scene was cheering.

"Ye Ling wins this competition," a man said loudly.

After the competition, Ye Ling saw Leng Yan walking over with the man he had just competed with. She immediately knew what was going on: "Thank you, cousin, for showing mercy just now."

"Did you really recognize me?" Leng Yue smiled and said, "Don't say that. Even if we fight with real swords and guns today, my cousin is no match for you."

"My eldest cousin and my second aunt have a lot in common," Ye Ling said.

"Yes, many people say that my eldest brother looks like my second aunt," Leng Yan agreed.

"I say, you three brothers and sisters, are you planning to just stand here and talk?" Xue Jingchuan said.

"I haven't seen Prince Xue for three years, and he's still as radiant as ever," Leng Yue said.

"you flatter me"

"Brother, have you known Prince Xue for a long time?" Leng Yan was curious.

"nature"

"Everyone, the master has prepared a room for you. You can sit down and chat," Ruibao said.

"Well, you three brothers and sisters can talk about family matters, and I, an outsider, will not participate. Ye Ling, I will go back to the inn first." Xue Jingchuan was very tactful.

"it is good"

A moment later, in the wing room, Ye Ling asked, "Didn't Grandpa say that Second Uncle would be back?"

"Father may not be able to come back this year. Because your cousin-in-law hasn't been back since she gave birth, I took a three-month leave this time to go back and stay with them and their child for a while," Leng Yue said.

"What women lack most is the company of their husbands. Cousin, please hurry back."

"Yes, so I plan to set off today."

"Really? Then I'll go out of town with you. I have to leave Nanlai for a few days for something."

"Ling'er, you are injured, don't run around," Leng Yan said.

"Don't worry, second cousin, I'm almost recovered, and this matter is imminent."

"Then let's go out of the city together. We have to go to the inn first." Leng Yue had seen Ye Ling's martial arts, so she was not afraid that anything would happen to her.

"What are you going there for?" Ye Ling no longer wanted to go back.

"My cousin is a general of the border army, and King Beichen is here. Since my cousin is here, we must pay him a visit according to the rules, otherwise people will say that our Leng family has no respect for the inferior."

"Tsk~" Ye Ling muttered, "The most annoying thing is the rules."

Leng Yue smiled: "You! Let's go!"

"Cousin, I don't want to go back"

"Did they bully you?" Leng Yan asked quickly.

"No, it's just... Prince Beichen's apprentice sister is here. She doesn't like me very much, and I don't like her either, so it's better not to meet her. I'll wait for you at the tea stall at the city gate. If they ask you where I've been, just say I went back with my second cousin."

"Good" Leng Yue's personality is very similar to Xue Jingchuan, quick-witted and outspoken.

Leng Yan did not go back with Leng Yue because he had business matters to attend to.

Leng Yue went to the posthouse and met King Beichen. He reported to him the latest situation of the border troops, and then left the city with a dozen personal soldiers.

Ye Ling waited for a long time and followed him out of the city on horseback, and they only separated when they reached Shaoyang Mountain.

Leng Yueduo warned, "Ling'er, I know you're different from other women, but I still want to say something. The imperial family will never be peaceful. Although Xue Jingchuan is a playboy, he is an upright gentleman. I've known him for many years, so I'm sure of that. As for the rest, you can make your own decision."

"Thank you for the reminder, cousin. Ling'er has taken note of it. Have a safe trip, cousin." Ye Ling bowed.

Leng Yue nodded slightly, then rode away on his horse.

Ye Ling did not delay and ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. She gave the horse to the farmer and some money. Then she quickly went up the mountain.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Ling returned to her paradise.

"Miss" Qianqing jumped three feet high, extremely happy.

Jiuyou's face was solemn: "Miss, are you injured?"

"Ah? Where are you hurt?" Qian Qing immediately became nervous.

Ye Ling first released Wan Qi from the space and introduced her to her. She then added a small bed to Qian Qing's room, which she had just bought today. "She will sleep in the same room with you from now on, to keep you company."

"I'm happy to do that." Qianqing likes Wanqi very much.

"Miss, your shoulder..." Jiuyou hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing serious. The wound may have opened a little when I was riding a horse today, so it's bleeding. This injury has been there for several days." In order not to worry Jiuyou, Ye Ling recounted what happened at the foot of the mountain in the past few days.

"When you go down the mountain in the future, I must follow you." Jiuyou was scared.

"Yes, Miss, I have Wanqi with me. The two of us will keep you company. Let Jiuyou go with you." Qianqing was also afraid.

"Okay." Ye Ling stood up, took out Wanqi's clothes and new clothes for Qianqing and Jiuyou from the space, then went to the kitchen and added rice, flour and meat.

Qian Qing said, "Miss, the two small courtyards at the door have been plowed once. They will be plowed a second time tomorrow, and we can start planting. The paths have also been paved with stones. Also, Jiuyou has built a few small pens over there for raising poultry."

"Okay, let's go take a look first." After arriving at several small enclosures, Ye Ling chose a larger one and released the six hens and a rooster she had bought. "In the future, we can have fresh eggs to eat, and we can give them any leftovers."

"That's great" Qianqing.

Ye Ling came to another small circle and waved his hand, and a local dog came out: "See? From now on, when it's around, there will be a noise."

“Wow!”

"Okay, Qianqing, cook. Tonight we will celebrate having a new member in our family. Jiuyou, let's plant melons first." Ye Ling was a little impatient.

"Wanqi also wants to help," Wanqi said.

"Okay, can you help your sister wash the vegetables?" Qian Qing asked.

Wanqi nodded and followed Qianqing into the yard. For some reason, when she came here, she suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.

"Miss, let's do it tomorrow. Don't move your shoulders anymore," Jiuyou said.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the room and change clothes, you go about your business." Ye Ling returned to the room, entered the space and re-treated the wound. It was not cracked, so it was not a big problem.

After treating the wound, Ye Ling went out and sat in the aisle, looking down at the courtyard. He found that in just half a month, Jiuyou and Qianqing had made the place look brand new. The walls around the courtyard were obviously all new and much higher, and it seemed that there were also mechanisms installed.

Looking at the people digging the soil outside the courtyard, Ye shouted, "Jiuyou, did you build a mechanism on the courtyard wall?"

"Yes, if you touch it from the inside, it won't be a big deal, but if you touch it from the outside, a sharpened bamboo hidden weapon will be ejected.

"So that's how it is, you have this ability!"

When Jiuyou was stepped on, he immediately stopped talking and started turning the soil by himself.

Ye Ling continued to admire. Her mood was the same as Wan Qi's. Being back here made her feel at ease. The air was comfortable. She no longer had to worry about this or that. For safety reasons, she reinforced the Stonehenge and all the formations along the way today.
