My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1169 Wrist
One day, the Duke of Zhenguo reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are unusual movements at the border. Do you consider sending another general to replace Zhou Xing?"

Ling Xue's heart was in turmoil, but she said calmly: "The general is brave and good at fighting, and he has won my heart. There is no need to discuss this matter."

Seeing this, the opposition had to give up temporarily, but the conspiracy in their hearts did not dissipate.

As time went by, the battle on the border intensified, and Zhou Xing won victory after victory, which frightened the enemy. However, he also knew that this would not be a long-term solution, and he had to adopt a more prudent strategy.

One day, Zhou Xing received a secret letter from Ling Xue: "General, something is not going well. There are signs of rebellion in the court. I hope you can come up with a good plan quickly."

After reading the letter, Zhou Xing felt heavy-hearted. He knew that if this situation of being attacked from both inside and outside was not handled properly, it would lead to serious consequences. He immediately summoned his deputy generals to discuss countermeasures and decided to send an elite force back to Beijing secretly to protect Ling Xue.

At the same time, Ling Xue also sensed unusual movements in the imperial city. She knew that the rebel forces were gathering and waiting for the right time to erupt. In order to buy time, she decided to personally meet with some key ministers to test their loyalty.

"My ministers, the country is in danger. I hope everyone can unite as one and overcome the difficulties together." Ling Xue said solemnly at the court meeting.

Some ministers with ulterior motives were obedient on the surface, but they were actually calculating their own plans in their hearts. Ling Xue saw it all, but she knew very well that it was not a good time to alert the enemy.

Late at night, in a dark room, the Duke of Zhenguo and several of his accomplices had a secret conversation: "The time is ripe, we can take action."

"Your Excellency is wise. We only need to wait for His Majesty to let down his guard and then we can accomplish our goal in one fell swoop." His accomplices echoed.

However, their every step was under Ling Xue's surveillance. The next day, Ling Xue decisively issued an order to arrest several major rebellious ministers and put them in jail on the charge of "plotting against the law."

The whole court was shocked. The Duke of Zhenguo and others did not expect Ling Xue to be so resolute and resolute. They underestimated the young emperor.

At the same time, Zhou Xing also faced a new test at the border. The enemy launched a large-scale attack, intending to defeat his defense line in one fell swoop. He shouted at the front-line command post: "All troops listen to my order, hold your position to the death!"

The battle was extremely fierce, and the soldiers fought bravely under the artillery fire. At several critical moments, Zhou Xing personally went into battle and fought side by side with the soldiers. His heroic actions inspired morale and eventually successfully repelled the enemy.

This victory not only saved the border, but also deterred the internal rebellious forces. Ling Xue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. She knew that this was the key to turning the situation around.

Despite a series of victories, the real test is not over yet. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing both know that only by completely eradicating the rebel forces can the country be truly stabilized.

After the arrest of the Duke of Zhenguo, his remnants did not give up and continued to secretly plan new subversive actions. They secretly contacted their companions outside in prison and planned a bigger riot.

Ling Xue learned of this development through the intelligence network and realized that the situation was still critical. She decided to take a preemptive strategy and secretly ordered Zhou Xing to lead the elite troops back to the capital as soon as possible to prepare to suppress the rebellion.

After receiving the order, Zhou Xing rushed back to the capital without stopping. On the way, he kept thinking about how to best deal with this crisis. He knew that this would be the biggest challenge he and Ling Xue faced.

After arriving in the capital, Zhou Xing immediately had a secret talk with Ling Xue. He reported in detail the progress of the war at the border and expressed his full support for the counter-insurgency operation.

"We must hit the target with one strike and not give the rebels any chance to counterattack," Zhou Xing said firmly.

Ling Xue nodded in agreement, and she arranged for Zhou Xing to be in charge of the city defense to ensure that the rebels could not launch a surprise attack. At the same time, she also issued urgent instructions to the loyal ministers, asking them to be on standby at any time.

Night fell again, and the capital was shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere. The rebels really began to act. They sneaked into the city in batches, trying to capture the imperial city from inside and outside. However, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing had already laid a trap.

"Tonight will be the night that determines my fate." Ling Xue muttered to herself, standing on the palace roof with a sword in hand, looking down at the land she loved so much.

The battle broke out suddenly, and fierce clashes unfolded in the streets and alleys of the capital. Zhou Xing personally commanded the troops and repelled the attacks of the rebels one by one. He was wearing armor and charging in front, shuttling through the battlefield like a flash of lightning.

"We must not let them gain the upper hand!" Zhou Xing shouted loudly, and the high-spirited soldiers followed closely behind him, fighting bravely.

The rebels gradually couldn't withstand such an offensive, and their morale began to collapse. They didn't expect Zhou Xing to be so resolute and resolute, and they didn't expect Ling Xue to be so calm and composed.

The dawn finally arrived, and the rebels were completely defeated. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood on the city wall, looking at the city gradually returning to peace, with a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"We won." Ling Xue said softly, tears glistening in her eyes.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly: "Yes, we won."

This decisive battle not only allowed them to eradicate the internal rebellious forces, but also allowed everyone to witness their determination and strength. Ling Xue's rule was consolidated, and Zhou Xing's loyalty was also best proved.

After this series of twists and turns, Ling Xue realized how difficult it was to govern a country. She relied more on loyal ministers, especially important ministers like Zhou Xing. Under her leadership, the country gradually regained stability.

Zhou Xingze returned to the border and continued to defend the country's territory. Whenever it was late at night, he would always think of those thrilling days. He knew that it was because of wise and tenacious leaders like Ling Xue that they could overcome difficulties again and again.

Ling Xue also often sent people to send condolences and commendations to show her gratitude to Zhou Xing and his soldiers. She understood that only when the monarch and his subjects were of one mind could the country become more prosperous.

One evening, Ling Xue stood on a high place in the palace and looked towards the border. Her thoughts flew to that distant land and those loyal warriors.

"Why does mother always look at the border from afar?" asked the young prince.

Ling Xue smiled and stroked the little prince's head gently: "There we have our strongest defense and most loyal warriors."

As time went by, Ling Xue and her country became stronger. With her wisdom and courage, she won the love and respect of the people and became a wise ruler. Zhou Xing's name was also engraved in history and became a hero praised by later generations. He was not only the guardian of the country, but also the brightest star in that turbulent period.

Many years later, when future generations look back on this period of history, they will see a magnificent picture - the wisdom and tenacity of a female emperor, the loyalty and bravery of a great general. It is because of them that this country stands proudly in the wind and rain.

As night fell, the lights in the town gradually lit up. Zhou Xing stood by the window, holding a heavy weapon, with a firm look in his eyes, quietly gazing at the distant sky. At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and a soldier ran into the tent, holding a sealed letter in his hands.

"General, the emperor has urgent news!" the soldier saluted.

Zhou Xing took the envelope and quickly unfolded the letter paper. On it was a handwritten letter from the current emperor, Ling Xue. In the letter, Ling Xue ordered Zhou Xing to lead his army back to the capital immediately to suppress the increasingly turbulent situation in simple language. Looking at Ling Xue's familiar handwriting on the letter paper, Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Why is the emperor so anxious?" Zhou Xing said to himself. His intuition told him that things were far more complicated than what was described in the letter. The night gradually deepened, and the candlelight in the tent swayed in the wind. Zhou Xing's heart was as restless as the candlelight.

At dawn, Zhou Xing had already organized his army and was ready to go. He mounted his horse and looked back at the soldiers, whose eyes were full of trust and determination. Zhou Xing raised his spear and announced loudly: "We will set off immediately and return to the capital!" The soldiers responded in unison, with great momentum.

During the march, Zhou Xing repeatedly pondered the contents of the letter and the emperor's intentions. He felt that an invisible hand was secretly manipulating everything. He clenched the spear in his hand and secretly vowed in his heart that he must find out the truth and defend the peace of the country.

A few days later, the army arrived outside the capital. Through the dust and smoke, Zhou Xing saw that the guards on the city wall were several times more than usual, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

The army was stationed outside the city. Zhou Xing entered the capital and headed straight for the palace. When he entered the palace gate, he saw a young man sitting upright on the dragon throne. His eyes were firm and deep. Zhou Xing knelt on one knee and saluted loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Zhou Xing, pay my respects to you."

The young man nodded slightly, motioning Zhou Xing to come forward. At this time, Zhou Xing noticed the delicate skin and phoenix eyes on the other person's face, and his heart was shocked. He couldn't help but wonder if the emperor in front of him was the legendary Ling Xue, the emperor who disguised himself as a man.

"Get up," Ling Xue's voice was soft and majestic. She stood up from the dragon chair and walked to Zhou Xing's side. "I know your doubts, but now is not the time to reveal the answer."

Zhou Xing's heart was filled with turmoil, but he still calmly followed the instructions. Ling Xue led him out of the hall and into the garden. It was quiet and deserted, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the leaves onto the ground.

"Zhou Xing, I need your help," Ling Xue suddenly turned around, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "There is a traitor in the palace, I need you to investigate secretly."

Zhou Xing nodded in agreement, and then began his undercover investigation. With his keen insight and extraordinary strategy, he got closer to the truth step by step. At the same time, his respect for Ling Xue gradually deepened. This emperor dressed as a man not only had the courage of a man, but also the delicacy and tenacity of a woman.

After several nights of sneaking around, Zhou Xing finally found the traitor's hiding place. He sneaked in quietly and heard a secret meeting of several ministers, and learned of a shocking conspiracy. They planned to launch a coup inside the palace, depose Ling Xue, and establish a new king.

Zhou Xing returned to his camp calmly and thought about his response. He knew that if he acted rashly at this time, he would definitely alert the enemy. In order to protect Ling Xue, he had to act cautiously.

The next morning, Zhou Xing passed the intelligence to Ling Xue. After reading it, her face changed slightly, but she immediately regained her composure. The two of them tacitly formulated a detailed countermeasure and decided to use the traitors' trick against them and let them suffer the consequences.

It was late at night, and the moonlight was like water in every corner of the palace. Tonight was the critical moment to implement the plan. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue each led their elite soldiers to ambush around the palace, waiting for the best opportunity to come.

When the midnight bell rang, there was a commotion in the palace. The traitors could not hold back and began their actions. They quietly approached the emperor's bedroom, but they never thought that everything was under the control of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue.

"Catch them!" Zhou Xing gave an order, and the ambushes were everywhere, surrounding the traitors. The traitors panicked and tried to resist, but found that they were already powerless. Zhou Xing personally captured the leading minister and brought him to Ling Xue.

"Why betray?" Ling Xue's voice was cold and firm.

The traitor minister sneered: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It has been like this since ancient times."

Ling Xue's face was solemn: "Your ambition will not succeed." She turned to Zhou Xing and said, "Put these traitors in jail and wait for trial."

Zhou Xing nodded and ordered his men to take the traitors away. This sudden coup was quickly quelled and the palace returned to peace. However, Zhou Xing knew in his heart that undercurrents were still surging and they could not take it lightly.

After this incident, Zhou Xing's admiration for Ling Xue became even deeper. This woman not only had the heroic spirit of a man, but also had the wisdom and courage to govern the world. And Ling Xue also had a layer of trust in Zhou Xing in her heart. They were each other's strongest backing.

As time went by, the two worked together to make the country more prosperous. Their names will be recorded in history forever and become a good story passed down by future generations.

As night fell, the palace of Youyue Kingdom was immersed in silence. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the glazed tiles of the palace, flickering with a cold light. In front of the palace gate, only a few guards were yawning lazily, and the entire palace seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

However, under this seemingly calm surface, there are countless undercurrents. Youyue Country is experiencing a silent coup, and all of this stems from the existence of General Zhou Xing, who holds a large number of troops.

Zhou Xing, a burly, sharp-eyed middle-aged man, wearing armor and holding a long sword. He is known as the "God of War" in Youyue Country, invincible in battle and unstoppable in attack. He is the most trusted minister of Youyue Emperor Ling Xue. However, it is such a loyal general who has unknowingly become a tool for others to gain power.

"General, it's time for us to act tonight." A voice sounded in the darkness. It was Zhou Xing's deputy general, a veteran who had also experienced many battles.

"Yes." Zhou Xing nodded, his eyes firm and cold, "For the future of Youyue Country, we must eradicate those corrupt officials and forces."

However, they didn't know that their plan had already been known by a figure hiding in the dark. This figure was none other than Ling Xue, the emperor of Youyue. Although Ling Xue was only 20 years old, she had been extremely intelligent and thoughtful since childhood. In order to uncover Zhou Xing's true purpose, she decided to sneak into the military camp herself and uncover the mystery.

Late at night, Ling Xue disguised herself in men's clothing and looked heroic. She quietly sneaked into the military camp, hid behind a tent, and quietly observed Zhou Xing and his men.

"General, do we really want to do this? What if we fail?" A young soldier's voice was filled with anxiety.

Zhou Xing sneered, if he fails, he will die.
