My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1209 Stone Ditch
Along the way, his followers gradually dispersed, and only a few loyal servants followed him. They passed through desolate villages, crossed rugged mountain roads, and finally came to this remote village.

The villagers were full of curiosity about this sudden outsider, but they also kept their distance. Zhou Xing settled down here and tried to adapt to this ordinary but hard life. He exchanged his remaining gold and silver for a piece of barren land and a shabby hut. Every day, he would work in the fields himself, his clothes soaked with sweat and his hands stained with mud.

However, even in the face of adversity, Zhou Xing's eyes still shone with an unyielding light. He knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up the opportunity to clear his name. He silently swore in his heart that one day, he would return to the capital, uncover the truth, and restore his reputation.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling over the quiet little village. The silvery light penetrated through the sparse clouds, reflecting a tranquility. Zhou Xing sat alone on the stone steps in front of the hut, looking up at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was confused about the future and reminiscing about the past. Just as he was immersed in his own world, a faint sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night.

Zhou Xing turned his head suddenly and saw a black shadow approaching silently. He immediately became alert, tensed his body, and prepared to deal with possible danger. At this moment, the black shadow moved, and a sharp dagger with a cold light stabbed at Zhou Xing. Instinctively, Zhou Xing dodged to the side and avoided the fatal blow. The two men immediately started fighting, and Zhou Xing relied on his extraordinary martial arts and combat experience to deal with the assassin.

Just as Zhou Xing was about to subdue the other party, an unexpected voice sounded: "Stop!" With the voice, a figure ran out of the darkness. It was Ling Xue, a peasant girl from the village. Holding a torch, she bravely rushed towards the two people who were fighting. With her interference, the assassin took the opportunity to escape and disappeared into the night.

Ling Xue went forward to check Zhou Xing's injuries and found that he only had some minor skin injuries. She hurried back to her home, brought herbs and bandages, and treated Zhou Xing's wounds. Zhou Xing looked at the girl in front of him, whom he had never met before, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He thanked her for saving his life, and Ling Xue just smiled faintly and told him that this was what he should do.

Since then, Zhou Xing has developed a deep gratitude towards Ling Xue, and Ling Xue is also moved by Zhou Xing's tenacity and courage. The two people who originally had no intersection began an unusual fate because of this unexpected encounter.

Since the assassination, Zhou Xing has been more and more impressed with Ling Xue. He found that this seemingly ordinary farm girl is not only kind-hearted, but also smart and brave. More importantly, she has extraordinary talent in medicine. Whenever someone in the village is sick or injured, Ling Xue can always help them recover with her own herbs and unique treatment methods.

One day, Zhou Xing was bitten by a poisonous snake while working in the fields. The poison quickly took effect, his arm swelled and hurt, and his consciousness began to blur. In the critical situation, the villagers thought of Ling Xue. She rushed over after hearing the news, and seeing Zhou Xing's painful look, she took out the herbs she carried with her without hesitation, quickly applied medicine to him and gave him a simple bandage.

Under Ling Xue's careful care, Zhou Xing's injuries gradually stabilized. He admired Ling Xue's medical skills and courage, and the relationship between the two became closer. Zhou Xing began to learn about herbal medicine from Ling Xue, and Ling Xue was happy to share her medical experience with him.

As time went by, Zhou Xing's body gradually recovered, and the communication between him and Ling Xue became more and more frequent. Zhou Xing found that although Ling Xue lived in a remote village, her mind was not closed, and she had her own unique insights into the world. They discussed medicine, philosophy and even national affairs together, and their hearts were deeply communicated and collided.

This unexpected encounter and rescue not only saved Zhou Xing's life, but also brought two people from different worlds together. Their story is like those wild flowers growing in the fields, inconspicuous but full of vitality.

With the arrival of spring, everything came back to life, and Zhou Xing's body was fully recovered. His mood also became brighter, as if even the sky was bluer than before. At this time, a secret letter quietly came into his hands. The envelope was stamped with the royal seal, which was the emperor's secret decree.

The contents of the secret decree shocked Zhou Xing - he was acquitted and recalled to the capital. It turned out that after a period of investigation, the emperor finally found the real traitor and rehabilitated Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing knew that this was a great opportunity for him to return to the court and wash away the shame.

However, this news also brought the sadness of parting. The feelings between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were so deep that they were hard to let go. The night before they said goodbye, the two were speechless, and only the moonlight witnessed their reluctance and deep affection. Zhou Xing held Ling Xue's hand, with a firm light in his eyes: "When I return to Beijing and everything is settled, I will definitely come to pick you up."

Ling Xue nodded with tears in her eyes. She knew that Zhou Xing had a great responsibility and could not let his personal feelings hinder his future. She handed Zhou Xing a sachet she had embroidered herself as a parting gift. "No matter when or where, my heart is with you." She said softly.

The next morning, Zhou Xing rode on his horse, carrying his thoughts of Ling Xue and his vision of the future, and set off on his journey back to Beijing. His figure gradually went farther and farther away until he disappeared at the end of the road. Ling Xue stood at the entrance of the village, watching his back until she could no longer see him. The two hearts, though thousands of miles apart, were closely connected.

Zhou Xing crossed mountains and rivers, and after many hardships, he finally arrived at the prosperous capital. The streets were bustling with pedestrians and shops were full of dazzling goods. Everything seemed so familiar and strange. His arrival attracted the attention of some old acquaintances. Some of them looked at him with sympathy, while others were puzzled and wary.

Zhou Xing did not stay for long and went directly to the palace to meet the emperor. In the magnificent palace, he knelt on the ground and respectfully presented the secret decree. The emperor looked at him, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes, and finally said: "Zhou Xing, I have wronged you. Today I pardon your crime and restore your title of prince."

Zhou Xing felt relieved, knowing that this was a new beginning. He thanked the emperor and stood up, with a humble but firm attitude: "Your Majesty is wise, I will live up to your high expectations and serve the country." The emperor nodded and signaled him to leave.

After regaining his freedom, Zhou Xing did not rush to enjoy the wealth and glory brought by power, but began to investigate the mastermind behind his frame-up. He used his influence and connections in the court to get closer to the truth step by step. In the process, he showed outstanding wisdom and courage, and won the respect and support of the court officials.

At the same time, Zhou Xing did not forget Ling Xue who was far away in the countryside. He silently made a promise in his heart that he must complete the mission as soon as possible, and then go back to pick her up and bring her to Beijing to give her a name and a future. Whenever it was late at night, he would always take out the sachet and stare at it, as if he could feel Ling Xue's breath and warmth.

In the intrigues and power games in the court, Zhou Xing always remained sober and calm. He knew that only in this way could he truly protect the people he wanted to protect. As time went by, Zhou Xing's reputation became more and more famous, and he became an indispensable member of the court. Spring went and autumn came, and a few years passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Xing finally completed his mission, exposed all the conspiracies and intrigues, and restored clarity to the court. His achievements were praised by the emperor, and he was named prime minister, second only to the emperor. However, the most important thing in his heart has not yet been completed-that is, reuniting with Ling Xue.

On a sunny day, Zhou Xing rode a tall horse, followed by a magnificent motorcade and guards, and left the capital in a mighty procession, heading towards the small village. His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, imagining Ling Xue's surprised expression when she saw him.

When Zhou Xing arrived at the village, the whole village was in an uproar. The villagers gathered to see the hero who had returned home in glory. Zhou Xing's eyes searched for the familiar figure in the crowd. Finally, amid the cheers, he saw Ling Xue. She was wearing simple clothes, but in his eyes she was the most beautiful scenery.

The two smiled at each other, as if all their waiting was for this moment. Zhou Xing got off his horse, walked quickly towards Ling Xue, and hugged her tightly. They hugged for a long time and were reluctant to separate. The surrounding villagers were moved by this deep affection.

Soon after, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue held a grand wedding. The emperor personally granted them the marriage and gave Ling Xue the title of "Xian Fei". From then on, the two spent the rest of their lives together, becoming a story that people will pass down through the ages.

Their story spread among the people, inspiring generations of people to believe in the power of true love and that justice will eventually prevail. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's names were engraved in the long river of history and became eternal symbols.

On Zhou Xing's business road, he met a special woman, Ling Xue. Ling Xue is a business wonder woman with keen business insight and extraordinary business talent. The two met at a business exchange meeting and hit it off at first sight. They discussed business trends together, shared successful experiences, and their mutual understanding and trust gradually deepened.

Ling Xue's appearance made Zhou Xing's business path smoother. Together, they created a series of successful business projects and earned huge profits. Zhou Xing's reputation gradually spread in the business world, and he became a highly-anticipated business star.

However, just as Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's careers were flourishing, they encountered an unprecedented business crisis. In order to suppress their rise, competitors resorted to despicable means to destroy their business plans. Faced with the sudden blow, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue fell into a dilemma.

In the face of the business crisis, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not give up. They believed that as long as they trusted each other and worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties. So they began to actively look for solutions to the problems and try to recover the losses.

After a period of hard work, they finally found the key to solving the crisis. It turned out that the competitor had been secretly manipulating the market and trying to suppress them through unfair means. In order to expose the competitor's conspiracy, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue decided to unite other victimized merchants to fight against the illegal behavior of competitors.

Under the leadership of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, the victimized businesses united to resist the suppression of competitors. In the end, with the support of the law and public opinion, the competitors received the due punishment. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also successfully got out of the predicament, and their business was back on track again.

This crisis not only deepened the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, but also made them achieve greater success in business. Their business territory continued to expand and became the leader in the industry. Zhou Xing also won the title of "Royal Merchant" for his outstanding performance in business.

After receiving the title of "Royal Merchant", Zhou Xing did not stop there. He continued to lead his team to explore new business areas and create more business miracles. Ling Xue was always by his side, giving him endless support and encouragement.

Their love story has also become a legend in the business world. People have praised them as a perfect couple and legends in the business world. Their story has inspired countless people to bravely pursue their dreams without fear of difficulties or obstacles.

As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's business empire grew bigger and bigger, and their wealth accumulated more and more. But they did not forget their original intention and mission, and they actively gave back to the society and helped those in need.

Their business legend will be remembered forever and become a model for future generations to learn from. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also proved with their actions that as long as you have faith, courage and wisdom, you will be able to create a brilliant life of your own.

In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, the autumn wind blew with a little chill, and the fallen leaves fluttered on the narrow bluestone road. Zhou Xing stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door, looking at his stepmother's indifferent back, and an unspeakable bitterness surged in his heart. Since his mother passed away, he has lived under the shadow of his stepmother Li. In addition to the heavy housework every day, he also has to endure the stepmother's sarcasm.

"Zhou Xing, don't think you can be lazy just because your mother is gone!" His stepmother's voice was sharp and harsh. Whenever this happened, Zhou Xing would lower his head silently, bite his lips tightly, and swallow back his tears. He learned to survive tenaciously in such an environment. Every time he fell, he would force himself to stand up, stronger than the last time.

The wind was cold and snow was falling on the desolate official road. Zhou Xing, wearing ragged clothes and wrapping his thin body, walked alone in the endless snow. His former glory and dignity have now turned into dust with the unfounded accusation. His face was eroded by wind and frost, but his eyes still retained an unyielding light.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves broke the silence of the night. A group of men in black appeared in the snow like ghosts, with sharp blades in their hands flashing coldly in the moonlight. Zhou Xing clenched his fists. He knew that these were assassins who came to take his life. He stepped back a few steps, leaned against a dead tree, and prepared for this life-and-death battle.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the darkness, and the sharp sword energy intertwined with the assassins' knife lights.
