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

Chapter 168 "Doing Business"

Cang Yue Kingdom - Quezhou - Noble House

The night of July 7 was very dark and it felt like it was going to rain. Ye Ling wanted to go to bed early, but an uninvited guest came to her room quietly, avoiding the eyes of Pigeon and Jiuyou.

Ye Ling looked at the newcomer with a speechless expression: "What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I'm dead or not?"

Black Hawk was speechless and put down the supplement in his hand: "His Highness asked me to come and see you. He told you to rest and recover. After tonight, there will be no more Illuminati in the world."

"Then we're even. The other things will have to be exchanged for prices, otherwise I feel like I'm losing money," Ye Ling said.

"what do you want?"

"I'm short of money," Ye Ling said without hiding it. She was a stingy person, not willing to spend a penny. Once she put money into the space, she didn't want to take it out again. So she had to find another way to earn back the money she spent in Quezhou: "Go back and tell your prince that he wants these two lives for 100,000 taels, no bargaining."

"Don't you think this is unfair? You're doing this for yourself, right? Although you beat Gu Feixiang this time, we are the ones who dealt with the Illuminati. How many people will be sacrificed?"

"Hehe..." Ye Ling laughed. "How can you say that? The Illuminati is clearly the emperor's dog. If your Highness doesn't get rid of this underworld force, it will become an obstacle in the future. To put it bluntly, you are paving the way for yourself, and I am just a pawn of King Wen. In the long run, if this is successful, I will at most gain freedom and stability, and what your prince will gain is what we both know. Why, are you upset about 100,000 taels? You still want to continue cooperation with this?"

"One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. I will explain this to His Highness."

"Then let's go quickly," Ye Ling said, suddenly becoming nonsensical: "Why? You want to stay and sleep with me?"

Black Hawk was speechless, turned around and flew out of the window, leaving quietly.

Jiuyou pushed the door open and came in: "Senior Sister, are you okay?"

"It's okay, why don't you sleep?" Ye Ling lay down as he spoke.

“I felt it as soon as he came.”

"I know you're at the door. Go to sleep peacefully. With my martial arts skills, there are few people in the martial arts world who can deal with me quietly."

Jiuyou hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bed and sat down nervously: "Senior Sister, I...I will sleep with you."

"Okay!" Ye Ling agreed immediately, moved in a little, and patted the bed: "Come up!"

"No," Jiuyou quickly explained, "What I mean is, I'll stay with you. You sleep, and I'll sit. I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Ye Ling chuckled softly and jokingly said, "Junior brother, when did you become so fussy?"

Jiuyou blushed and stammered, "Master... Senior Sister, please stop making fun of me."

Ye Ling closed her eyes and said softly, "Okay, just sit here for a while, but don't stay up too late."

Jiuyou responded and looked at Ye Ling quietly.

Soon, Ye Ling's even breathing sound could be heard, as if she had fallen asleep.

Jiuyou carefully tucked the quilt for her, and looking at Ye Ling's appearance, he was unconsciously stunned.

Jiuyou watched silently for a long time, until a ray of morning light shone through the window. He stood up quietly, afraid to wake Ye Ling. However, as soon as he moved, Ye Ling slowly opened her eyes.

"Junior brother, you didn't sleep all night?" Ye Ling's voice was still a little sleepy.

"Senior Sister, I... fell asleep and just came in," Jiuyou said gently.

Ye Ling sat up, straightened his hair, and looked at Jiu You with a half-smile: "Junior brother, do you think I don't even know whether you left or not? So, after watching me all night, are you tired of it?"

"Senior Sister, how could this be, I..." Jiuyou didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, I'm going to go into the space to clean the wound. You help me keep an eye on the people." Ye Ling said and entered the space. She was only responsible for lying on the fully automatic operating bed, and Meng Meng would handle everything else.

When Ye Ling came out of the space, Su Su happened to come in with breakfast: "Sister Ling, you're awake! Eat something quickly and then take the medicine."

"You are the eldest lady, these things..."

"I'm your sister," Su Su interrupted Ye Ling, "Sister Ling, didn't you say that if you want to be strong, you must be independent. So it's best to do many things yourself. You can't rely on others for everything. This is my experience."

"Miss Ye," the woman who had accompanied You Ming Lang the night before, walked in with a less-than-friendly expression, "Our landlord said he doesn't want to disturb you while you recover, so if you have anything to say, you can tell me. My name is Zhi Lan, and I'm the manager here."

"Okay, I understand," Ye Ling replied while eating.

The woman was not very happy: "Also, don't bother the owner of this building. We have many distinguished guests staying at the Noble House, and the owner of this building never receives anyone."

"What do you mean?" Su Su was also unhappy.

"It's nothing special, enjoy your meal," Zhilan said and turned to leave.

Su Su was even more displeased: "Sister Ling, why didn't you say a word? What's her attitude? It's not like we won't pay."

"Isn't this perfect? ​​I don't like being disturbed by others, and you don't have to serve the food yourself. We are paying guests, they will deliver the food on time, and all we have to do is enjoy ourselves and recuperate." Ye Ling didn't care, it was good like this. She didn't know what to talk about with Youminglang, and since they didn't meet, there was no need to talk.

Su Su was still fuming, muttering softly, "Even so, she's too blunt with her words, as if we're out of our league."

"Don't be angry"

"Eat more so that the wound will heal faster," said Su Su.

At the same time, Youminglang listened to the report from Xi Jun: "He confessed, saying that he had been cooperating with the governor and Hou Bing, and they benefited together."

"This traitor finally has a new master!" Youminglang spoke slowly.

"Master, this is troublesome. If we kill the former manager, Hou Bing will not gain any benefit. He will definitely make things difficult for Guiren Pavilion. Moreover, there is no guarantee that he will not use the same tricks again. We can't watch Quezhou all the time!" said the pigeon.

"What's the trouble? Just change the prefect," Youminglang said calmly.

"Change the governor?" The pigeon was a little surprised.

You Ming Lang smiled faintly. "This is a chain reaction. The girl wanted to kill Yao Qi, the commander of the cavalry army, in order to weaken the emperor's power. So if the cavalry commander died, do you think the governor of Quezhou can escape responsibility? The plague has just ended. If such a major incident happens again, his position as governor will be over.

The pigeon's eyes lit up: "Master is wise. This way, we can not only solve Hou Bing's hidden danger, but also regain control of the situation in Quezhou."

You Ming Lang crossed his arms across his chest, a calculating smile playing on his lips: "Sometimes, it seems like you are helping others, but in fact you are paving the way for yourself. We work together and profit together."

"I understand, and I will cooperate with Miss Ye," said Jun.

"That Jinniang will probably be here soon. Not many people in the building have seen the maid. Tell them one by one that there is only Mr. Ye in the Guiren Pavilion, not Miss Ye. If anyone dares to say anything more, his tongue will be pulled out."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Jun bowed and left.

Time passed quickly and it was night. In the second half of the night, Black Hawk came again.

Ye Ling opened her eyes from her sleep and was speechless: "Why are you here at this hour? Don't you know that the patient needs more rest?"

"Night Envoy is really alert. You woke up as soon as I reached the roof in front. I admire you," said Black Hawk.

Ye Ling was very sleepy, and her wound hurt, so she was very irritable: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."

"Your Highness has agreed to give you one hundred thousand taels, not a penny less. This is a deposit of fifty thousand taels." Black Hawk brought a small box full of banknotes.

"make a deal"

"His Highness said that you cannot participate in the killing of these two people, which means you cannot do it yourself, otherwise he will protect you."

"I'm not stupid, just let him worry less."

Black Hawk was speechless for a moment. "Your Highness is concerned about you. There's another thing. Prince Xian was exiled to Zhezhou and he must have passed through here. Given his personality, he'll definitely stay for a few days to rest."

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, "So what? What does it have to do with me?"

Black Hawk sighed helplessly, "Don't play dumb. King Xian is no pushover. This time, he's been deposed as Crown Prince and demoted to King Xian. Furthermore, this happened because of your father. He must hate you. And this big thing we're planning must not be leaked."

Ye Ling sneered: "Am I afraid of him? But since I've been paid to do this, I will act with caution."

Seeing Ye Ling's attitude, Black Hawk knew that it was useless to say more, so he reminded him: "In short, you'd better be cautious. His Highness hopes that you can get the remaining reward smoothly and safely." After that, Black Hawk disappeared into the night.

Ye Ling checked the banknotes first, then put them into the space with satisfaction and went to sleep soundly.

The next morning, Ye Ling entered the space and took out a lot of books about crime. She had to find a perfect crime scene case and then copy it.

Ye Ling took out the space and carefully searched through the books, his eyes focused and sharp.

Su Su brought out breakfast as usual: "Sister Ling, you are too hardworking. You are still reading when you are injured. What kind of book is this?"

"A book that teaches how to kill people," Ye Ling said casually.

"what?"

"Ah, what? This is true. It's a perfect murder plan. Okay, let's eat first," Ye Ling said.

After hearing this, Su Su was a little scared and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table.

Ye Ling acted as if he didn't see anything and continued eating.

After dinner, Ye Ling returned to studying. She was well aware of the dangers of this operation. If she couldn't create a flawless scene, not only would she not receive the remaining payment, she might also get into trouble.

Su Su and Jiu You were still eating. Seeing Ye Ling working hard, Su Su couldn't help but smile.

In the morning light, in the early autumn morning, everything seems so peaceful and beautiful, as if the whole world is immersed in a dream. In this early autumn morning, every ray of sunshine is full of poetry, and every bird song is full of painting.

The time spent in Guiren Pavilion was so quiet and slow that I didn’t feel that a day had passed.
