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

Chapter 116 You Need a Companion

Cang Yue Country - Nanlai - Tianlai Ke

It is said that a quick sword cuts the Gordian knot. Xue Jingchuan plans to return to the capital immediately. With Ying Ren leading the imperial guards to escort him all the way, his safety will be no problem.

Bai Lang sneaked into Tianlaike and slipped into Xue Jingchuan's room while Yingren wasn't paying attention: "Sir, I'm here to see Miss Ye."

"You take our people with you and follow secretly. We will return to Beijing immediately," said Xue Jingchuan.

"Yes, but..." Bai Lang hesitated slightly: "Sir, Miss Ye seems to know that I am a Da'er."

Xue Jingchuan hesitated slightly. "If you know, then you know. There are many Da'an people in Cangyue. What's so strange about that? Don't worry, Ye Ling is not interested in this and will not meddle in our affairs. You go and prepare and go ahead."

"Yes." Only then did the White Wolf leave with peace of mind.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Jingchuan escorted An Kui and left Nanlai openly. Countless eyes watched, but they were powerless. If anyone dared to snatch or kill people from the hands of the imperial guards at this time, he would be shooting himself in the foot and suffer the consequences.

In the tea stall at the city gate, two men wearing straw hats watched Xue Jingchuan and the others leave. One of them asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

"Escorted by the elite imperial guards, do you think we have what it takes?" another person said.

"But if we fail to complete the mission and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blames us, we'll be in big trouble!"

"Kill Ye Ling. As long as we kill Ye Ling, our merits can atone for our sins. This is our only way out at the moment."

"Kill Ye Ling? Captain! Is this any different from killing An Kui at the hands of the Imperial Guards? It's also suicide! Even the people in the Falcon Prison can't do anything to Ye Ling with her martial arts skills, let alone us?"

"Then what do you say we should do? In the current situation, we can only fight to the death. Maybe we can turn defeat into victory. If we die, that's it."

"Alas, these days, it's so difficult to get a job."

"Yes!"

Both of them were sighing and feeling helpless.

At this moment, on the other side, Ye Ling and Jiu You came to the carriage shop.

"What price range do you two want for the carriage?" the boss asked enthusiastically.

"Money is not a problem. What matters is whether it can meet my requirements," Ye Ling said as he looked around.

"Tell me about it."

"I want the largest and most spacious carriage you have, and it should be extended. Anyway, let me see the largest one."

"Look here. The largest carriage is spacious, but it can only be used on official roads because it is too wide and long. Ordinary carriages cannot travel on land." The boss took the two people to a small courtyard at the back and said, "Here are two large ones. You can take a look, young ladies. This kind of carriage is usually not easy to sell, so we don't make too many."

Ye Ling immediately fell in love with a spacious, extended carriage. Its body was crafted from solid black wood, exuding a delicate fragrance. The carriage was intricately carved, and the windows were sliding, draped with a thin, gauze curtain that fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of romance. On either side of the door stood a small lantern, lit at night to illuminate the path ahead. The front door was also sliding.

The carriage's interior was spacious and comfortable, covered in soft carpet that felt like stepping on clouds. At the back was a wide seat, easily enough for one person to lie down, complete with a curtain. There were also comfortable seats on either side of the carriage. A small table sat between the seats, making it convenient for storing belongings.

The best thing about this carriage is that it is extended by about two meters at the rear to accommodate travel items such as pots, pans, etc.

Ye Ling was very satisfied with the carriage. She decided to buy it as her future means of transportation. Even when not riding it, she could put it into the space, which would be considered a fixed asset.

"Are you satisfied, girl?" the boss asked with a smile.

"Junior brother, what do you think?"

Jiuyou carefully checked the front and rear wheels: "Not bad, but Senior Sister, this kind of four-wheeled carriage can only go on the main road. It can't go on the small road, and it's not easy to turn."

"I want this one, I don't like the small one," Ye Ling said.

"Then this is it." Jiuyou took out a silver note from his chest.

"Okay, so those two are planning to buy horses from us?"

"Senior Sister, this is a four-wheel drive vehicle! It needs four horses," Jiuyou said.

"We already have two, and if we ask my senior brother to provide two more, we won't have to spend money on buying horses." Ye Ling was very thrifty and would not spend money if he could. "Boss, you have to send the carriage to the Langya Pavilion branch for me."

"Okay, okay, no problem, girl. You...are not Ye Ling?" the boss asked curiously.

"What? Not obvious?"

"Oh! I am so blind. It turns out to be Miss Night. I'm so sorry. The carriage will be delivered to you as quickly as possible." The boss was very happy.

"Thank you, boss." Jiuyou went to pay.

Ye Ling was still in the car, feeling: "Meng Meng, isn't she beautiful?"

"It's very expensive!" Mengmeng said.

"It's okay. This thing is like a modern Rolls-Royce. Once you buy it, it's permanent property. It makes you look good when you travel."

"Master is right. Then why did you give the money to Jiuyou in advance? You could have paid it yourself."

"You don't understand this, right? Jiuyou is a man! Give him some respect."

"Alright! Mengmeng doesn't understand this," Mengmeng said, expressing her incomprehension of human thought. "Master, ever since you handed over An Kui and his belongings, the space has been upgraded again, with a large room added. Furthermore, your martial arts skills have also increased! This means we are very close to the main quest."

Ye Ling raised his hand and lightly tested his internal energy: "It has indeed increased again. I like this design! The only bad thing is that I have basically forgotten all the stories in the book recently. Fortunately, I took notes in advance, otherwise I would regret it to death."

"My Lord! There are gains and losses. This space can improve your martial arts, help you rescue people and store supplies, and can do many things. The only drawback is that it makes you forget the original story line in the book."

"That's right, that's enough. Just think of it as exchanging the original storyline for these precious things. Oh, Mengmeng, I've been thinking a lot about the original owner Ye Ling's story lately!"

"You are using her body, so it is possible that you think about it."

"Senior Sister" Jiuyou came back after paying the money: "Let's go, he will send the carriage to the Langya Pavilion branch soon."

The two left the carriage shop contentedly and began to purchase various necessary supplies on the street. They also bought several sets of clothes. However, Jiuyou suffered the most, trying on clothes over and over again until Ye Ling was satisfied.

"Senior Sister, I have bought several sets of clothes, that's enough." Jiuyou was in tears. He had just tried on dozens of sets of clothes, and finally Ye Ling picked out five suitable ones.

"What do you know? Your aesthetic taste was too poor before. You only liked black. You are such a beautiful person, but you wear dull clothes every day. From now on, you must dress according to my aesthetic taste and wear brighter clothes. Do you understand?" Ye Ling said.

Jiuyou nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then can we not try it?"

"I'll spare you today. It's getting late. Let's go to the Noble House and tell Youminglang about it. We're half friends after all."

"Okay." Jiuyou felt relieved. As long as he didn't try on clothes over and over again, he would do anything.

The Guiren Pavilion was still bustling at night. The moment Ye Ling stepped in, he couldn't help but think of Chan Juan. Countless times, she had greeted him with a smile, calling him Lady Hero Ye. But in the end, she died in such an unclear manner. No one would remember who she was, not even Xue Jingchuan.

"Senior Sister? Senior Sister?" Jiuyou called out several times, "What are you thinking about? The Lord of You Tower is waving for you to come up from the second floor."

"Oh," Ye Ling responded, then slowly went upstairs.

Youminglang was very happy: "I knew you would come. Have you been having a peaceful month?"

"all the best"

"That's good, come sit here."

After Ye Ling sat down, he patted the stool next to him and said, "Junior brother, you sit down too."

"Junior brother?" Youminglang was a little surprised.

"Jiuyou is my junior fellow apprentice, and also the youngest disciple of my master Feng Qingyang," Ye Ling introduced.

Youminglang looked envious: "So that's how it is! Jiuyou, come and sit down. I never thought that Senior Feng Qingyang would accept three disciples, and each of them is so powerful."

"Master taught me well," Ye Ling said with a smile. "By the way, I'm leaving tomorrow to challenge Gu Feixiang and see the beautiful scenery along the way."

"From Nanlai to Quezhou, most of the areas are plains and grasslands. This season is the most beautiful. Clear rivers and various exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. It is breathtakingly beautiful. You can walk slowly and play leisurely. The journey will take about twenty days," said Youminglang.

"Jiuyou said so too, so I want to go and take a look, away from the noisy town, to feel the comfort and beauty of nature." Ye Ling could feel the beauty just by talking about it.

"So you like this kind of life?"

"No, I don't like to do big things. I just want to be a small person and live my life to the end."

"That's very well said, girl. You are destined to be no small figure! Before you, the youngest person to make it to the Langya List at the age of twenty-three was Nangong Chen. You are only nineteen now, and you have already made it to the ninth place. Your life is destined to be extraordinary."

Ye Ling was silent for a moment: "You are right. Then I will try my best to be a simple person. As long as others don't provoke me, I will definitely not take the initiative to provoke anyone."

"I hope everything goes as you wish." Youminglang raised his glass.

"Thank you, Master Youlou," Ye Ling also raised his glass.

After finishing his drink, Youming Lang continued, "It's a bit lonely going to Quezhou alone, isn't it? Do you need a companion?"

"Hmm?" Ye Ling thought to herself, "Who is it?"

You Ming Lang spread his hands and said, "What about me?"

Ye Ling felt extremely unhappy, but couldn't bring herself to say it out loud: "You're going to Quezhou?"

"Something happened at the Noble House over there, so I'd like to go take care of it. What do you think? Do you want to come with me?"

"That's fine, it's more lively with more people! It just so happens that my senior brother and Miss Su, the granddaughter of the Langya Pavilion Master, are also coming." Ye Ling mentioned these two people in order to make Youminglang change his mind.

"That's great, it will be even more lively."

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment: "Okay, let's go together, see you at the city gate tomorrow morning."

"It's a deal." Youminglang raised his glass again with satisfaction.

Ye Ling smiled unwillingly: "Cheers, let's go together."
