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

Cang Yue Nation - Nanlai - Cemetery Entrance Outside the City

Seeing that Ge Ba was dead, the man in black kicked Xue Jingchuan away and then turned around and ran away.

"Where are you going?" Ye Ling immediately flew after him.

The two men chased each other up and down until dawn, when a lake blocked their way.

Ye Ling looked at the man who had nowhere to go and said, "Your martial arts skills are just so-so, but your Qinggong skills are amazing. If it weren't for this lake, it would be difficult for me to catch up with you."

The man in black didn't say anything, but there was a smile in his eyes. Then he suddenly took out two black balls, threw them heavily on the ground, and they exploded.

Ye Ling subconsciously covered her eyes. When the dust settled, she realized that the person had disappeared. She cursed angrily, "Grandson, don't let me see you again next time."

When Ye Ling returned with her light Kung Fu skills, the scene before her made her feel scared at first. Qi Bingnan was dead, and Jin Rui and Xue Jingchuan were also lying in a pool of blood. She hurried over to check, and fortunately, both of them were seriously injured and not dead.

For safety reasons, Ye Ling took out two injections of special anesthetics from the space, gave one injection to each of the two men, and then brought them into the space. Xue Jingchuan had mostly serious injuries, so Jiu You bandaged him. Jin Rui had serious internal injuries, so he was treated on a fully automatic operating bed.

Ye Ling left the space again, put Ge Ba's body into a body bag, and placed it in the room in the space where horses were usually tied. Of course, she also put all the things in the bag into the space and threw them on the floor of the living room.

"Wow! Master, it's all gold!" Mengmeng is also a money-lover.

"This grandson knew that the items in the tomb were difficult to resell, so he just took the gold." Ye Ling said, looking at Xue Jingchuan on the sofa: "Jiuyou, how is he?"

"He has many skin injuries, and the most serious one is a knife wound on the abdomen. It has been treated. Young master, will he wake up?" Jiuyou asked.

"I'm relieved. After those two injections, the elephant would have to sleep for several days and wouldn't be able to wake up," Mengmeng answered quickly.

"Master, the treatment is over," a voice came from the operating room.

Meng Meng used her mind to move Jin Rui to the sofa, one lying horizontally and the other vertically with Xue Jingchuan.

"Okay, get them a blanket to cover them. Jiuyou, pick up the gold on the ground. I'm going to go out and ride back to Shunyang County. They can't rely on the operating table alone, which will easily arouse suspicion. They need to find a doctor to prescribe medicine." Ye Ling said as he left the space, went down the mountain, and rode all the way back to the city at full speed.

At about a quarter past four in the morning, Ye Ling returned to Yueyun Inn. She immediately asked the waiter to find the best doctor in the city. In order to make it easier to take care of them, she placed Xue Jingchuan and Jin Rui in the same room, one on the bed and the other on the couch. Jiuyou had no choice but to leave the room as well. After all, it was not convenient for his young lady to take care of two grown men.

"Miss, what about the anesthetic?" Jiuyou asked after settling the two people.

Ye Ling took out two red pills: "One for each person."

Just after taking the antidote, the doctor arrived. Ye Ling hurriedly urged: "Two of my friends have been caught by bandits. I need the doctor to take a look."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll take a look right away." The doctor hurriedly took the pulse of each man. "The man on the bed has minor injuries, and they've been treated well. I'll prescribe him some medicine to boil and take. As for this young man, his injuries are more serious, but it seems he's been treated. I'll prescribe medicine for him as well. How about that?"

"Thank you, doctor." Ye Ling bowed. She was still wearing men's clothes, so the doctor called her "Young Master".

The doctor wrote a prescription and left. Ye Ling gave the waiter a tip and asked him to help get and boil the medicine. The waiter was naturally happy to run errands for the customer.

"Master, you didn't sleep last night. Eat something and have a good sleep. It's already like this." Jiuyou was worried about his master's health.

"I haven't slept all night, haven't you? I'm going to the government office first and hand Ge Ba over. It's too disgusting to leave him in the space."

"Then you'd better be careful. The people last night were not simple. They made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, tricking you away just to get the rhinoceros banner. They didn't even look at the gold," Jiuyou reminded.

"I understand. We'll talk about it when I get back." Ye Ling went out without changing his clothes. He first went to the horse shop to rent the worst black-covered carriage, then released Ge Ba's body and pulled the carriage to the county government office.

Two quarters of an hour later, in the lobby of the county government office, the coroner confirmed the identity of the man and said, "It is indeed Ge Ba, the second most wanted criminal."

Ye Ling was too lazy to say more and took out the wanted order: "Here, dead, one thousand taels of silver."

"I heard someone arrested Ge Ba," the county magistrate came out from the back hall.

Ye Ling immediately recognized his voice. It was the other person who conspired with Qi Bingnan in Juxiang Pavilion. As expected, officials and bandits are one family, and neither of them is a good person.

"How dare you not bow and kneel before the county magistrate?" the lawyer said sternly.

Ye Ling sat firmly, looking straight ahead with a cold smile: "In this world, I have never knelt before anyone except the current emperor. What's a small county magistrate? Even Zhao Hongan would have to bow to me when he saw him."

"You...you troublemaker..."

"Shut up!" the county magistrate interrupted the lawyer. "What's your name, sir?"

Night Cool

The county magistrate was shocked: "You...you are Princess Jingqi? Aren't you...a woman?"

Ye Ling took out his ID card and threw it to the county magistrate.

After checking, the county magistrate quickly knelt and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the princess. I did not know you were coming, and I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope the princess will forgive me."

"No need to be so polite, County Magistrate. Please stand up. This princess is here only to collect the reward money. Your coroner also proved that this person is Ge Ba," Ye Ling said.

The county magistrate stood up and respectfully handed Ye Ling the princess's token. "Since the princess killed him to eliminate the evil for the people, she naturally has one thousand taels of silver. However, I can only issue a certificate here. You must go to the Nanlai prefectural governor's mansion to exchange the silver."

"I know. Lord Zhao has mentioned this rule." Ye Ling had inquired about this matter a long time ago. Rewards of more than one thousand taels of silver must be exchanged with the prefect of the jurisdiction. Ordinary county governments do not have them.

"Master, go and issue a certificate for the princess," said the county magistrate.

"Yes, yes, yes" the master trotted away quickly.

The magistrate waved his hand to signal the bailiffs to carry away the body, and then spoke carefully: "Princess, I have something to ask you. Is it appropriate?"

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, please feel free to speak."

"Yes, where did you catch this man?"

Ye Ling glanced at the county magistrate, knowing he was worried about his partner, Qi Bingnan. "I've been asking about him for a long time on the mountain road outside the city, and this time it's all worth it."

"So that's how it is. Did the princess have any companions when she killed him?"

"No, what does the County Magistrate mean?"

"I was just asking casually," the county magistrate smiled awkwardly.

The "Princess" advisor returned with a piece of paper. "Your certificate has the county magistrate's official seal on it. Take it to see Lord Zhao."

"Thank you both, goodbye." Ye Ling stood up and left immediately without saying another word.

As soon as Ye Ling left, the county magistrate's expression changed: "Master, please have someone prepare things. I need to leave the city myself. Go quickly."

"Yes." The master did not dare to delay and hurried to prepare.

The county magistrate hurried back to his room to change out of his official uniform.

Suddenly, a man, with his head covered in a bag and his face masked, appeared in the county magistrate's room and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to go. The things have been taken."

The county magistrate immediately recognized the voice and asked, "Are you the one who helped me the night before last?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. Qi Bingnan is already ruined. You have to watch out for Shunyang County in the future."

"Okay, at least I got the stuff."

"You are so incompetent. If the master hadn't arranged it in advance and personally kept an eye on it, the things would have fallen into the hands of others long ago." The man was obviously very angry.

"Yes, I deserve to die. But...Princess Jingqi came here just now. She killed Ge Ba. I'm afraid she'll find out about us!"

"The master will handle this matter himself, you just need to do your own thing." After saying this, the man turned and left, quietly climbed over the back wall of the yamen, and suddenly stood still.

Ye Ling put her hands behind her back and walked slowly out from behind the man. The rippled hem of her skirt swayed slightly as she walked, and the jade pendant on her waist also swayed slightly.

The man also turned his head slowly: "Miss Ye is really good at martial arts. I didn't even notice it."

"I recognize your lightness skills. You are the one who led me away yesterday. I am only after money and have no interest in your troubles, but you shouldn't attack my friends," Ye Ling said coldly.

The man was visibly stunned, then he spoke calmly, "That friend of yours also killed a lot of our people."

"you…"

"Ah~ Help~" A woman's scream interrupted Ye Ling.

Ye Ling was distracted for only a moment before the man disappeared. She was speechless: "This bastard, must he have practiced escaping skills specifically?"

"Let me go, help me!" the woman continued to scream.

Ye Ling ran over following the sound, only to see a woman with her arms folded across her chest in fear. Seeing Ye Ling, she felt like she had a lifeline: "Help, there was a man who wanted...he wanted..."

Ye Ling slapped his forehead angrily: "Damn it, I fell into the trap again. I fell twice in the same place. Good job, bastard, don't let me catch you again."

"Young Master?" The woman looked at Ye Ling with tears in her eyes.

Ye Ling was speechless. He turned around, walked behind the wall, took out a cloak from the space, and threw it to the woman: "Put it on and go home quickly."

"Thank you, sir." The woman put on her cloak and trotted out of the alley.

Ye Ling walked to the entrance of the alley, untied the carriage from the wooden stake, and pulled it to return the deposit. After returning the deposit, she walked back. She hadn't rested for almost two days and one night, and everyone would be a little tired.

People on the street were talking about it:

"Have you heard? A huge fire broke out at Wenwan Villa at dawn, and it hasn't been put out yet!"

"That's right. Some people also said that they encountered many corpses on the mountain road this morning."

"There's something even bigger going on. Someone saw the city guards go out to the Beast Tamer Mountain. It seems the Beast Tamer's tomb was robbed last night."

"Yes, I heard about this too. The soldiers over there have sealed off the mountain today. Something big must have happened."

"In recent years, countless tomb robbers have come to Shunyang County. They all came to the Beast Tamer's Tomb to get the treasure."

"That's right! I wonder who it is this time, so capable, to cause such a big commotion."

"Who knows?"

...............

Listening to the people's discussions, Ye Ling's heart was in a mess. She was also very curious about who the master mentioned by Qi Bingnan and the Shunchang County Magistrate was and who was so capable that he could control officials and wealthy businessmen to work for him.
