The first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrates the mist and shines on every corner of the town. Zhou Xing, a burly butcher with a simple face, is busy in front of his stall. His hands are like a skilled artist, cutting pork.
There are precise cuts made on it, and each cut looks so crisp and clean.
Not far away, Ling Xue was standing in front of her fish stall, holding a shining kitchen knife in her hand, skillfully handling the fresh fish. Her movements were light and elegant, as if she was performing a silent dance.
.
Although the two set up stalls in the same market, they rarely interacted with each other. However, an accidental opportunity caused subtle changes in their life trajectories.
That day, a customer hurried to Zhou Xing's stall, wanting to buy some pork for emergency use. Unfortunately, Zhou Xing's pork had been sold out that day. Seeing the disappointed look in the customer's eyes, Zhou Xing couldn't bear it, so he casually mentioned
When I arrived at Ling Xue’s fish stall, I said the fish there was also very fresh.
The customer listened to Zhou Xing's suggestion and turned towards Ling Xue's fish stall. This scene was also noticed by Zhou Xing. He began to notice this usually unknown fishmonger and found that she actually had a pair of very smart eyes.
Eyes, whenever someone approaches her stall, she will always raise her head and say hello with a smile.
From then on, Zhou Xing paid more attention to Ling Xue. He found that Ling Xue was not only beautiful, but also very hardworking and capable. She was the first to come to the market every morning and the last to leave at night. She
Her fish stall is always kept in good order, and every fish is taken good care of by her.
Gradually, Zhou Xing found that he had a special feeling for Ling Xue. He began to look forward to seeing her figure and hearing her voice every morning. And Ling Xing seemed to feel Zhou Xing's gaze, sometimes
She raised her head and smiled at him.
In this way, two strangers quietly fell in love in the market with the smell of fireworks. Their story began - a symphony about the intertwining of butcher knives and fish scales was about to be played.
As time went by, the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became closer and closer. They began to share every detail of life together, and faced the ups and downs of the market together. In this small town full of fireworks, their love was like a flower.
It flows slowly like a clear stream, nourishing each other's hearts.
However, the road of love has never been smooth sailing. Just as their relationship was gradually warming up, a sudden incident broke the peace...
One evening, when the market was about to close, a group of people dressed in black suddenly broke into the market. They came straight to Zhou Xing's stall aggressively, cursing and saying something. It turned out that these people were local
The thugs sent by a large supermarket wanted to monopolize the meat business in the market, so they had a grudge against small-scale vendors like Zhou Xing.
Facing these sudden villains, Zhou Xing did not flinch. He clenched the butcher knife in his hand and prepared to defend his rights. However, it was difficult for him to fight with four hands. Soon he was surrounded by these people and fell to the ground. The situation was very critical. At this moment
At that moment, Ling Xue suddenly rushed out. Holding a kitchen knife, she bravely stood in front of Zhou Xing and shouted at the villains to get away.
Those people were so frightened by Ling Xue's momentum that they didn't dare to step forward for a while. But soon they reacted and began to verbally insult Ling Xue. Some even wanted to hit her. Seeing this, Zhou Xing was so angry that he used all his strength to
With the strength to stand up, he waved the butcher knife in his hand and rushed towards those people.
A melee was about to break out. At this moment, other vendors in the market also rushed to support them. Some held brooms, some held mops, and some just joined the fight with bare hands. Soon, they had a numerical advantage and the villains were beaten.
Surrounded by people.
Faced with the resistance of so many people, the villains gradually felt powerless and began to retreat and try to escape from the scene. But the people in the market did not let them go. They chased them all the way until they drove the villains out of the market.
After this melee, the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became closer. They supported each other and weathered the difficulties together. Others in the market also looked at them with admiration and praised them as heroes.
Afterwards, Zhou Xing felt deeply that his strength was insufficient and he decided to become stronger in order to better protect Ling Xue and his stall. So, he began to practice martial arts hard. He would get up early every day to run and box by the river, and dance under the moonlight at night.
Butcher knife, practice your skills.
Ling Xue was not idle either. She used her wisdom to help Zhou Xing improve the layout and management of the stall, making their business more prosperous. She also often stewed some supplements for Zhou Xing to help him regain his physical strength and spirit.
With the joint efforts of the two, their stall gradually became one of the most popular places in the market. Zhou Xing also became more and more confident and strong with Ling Xue's support and encouragement.
However, just when they thought everything was going to be on track, fate played a joke on them again...
One night, when Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were busy packing up their stalls and preparing to go home, suddenly the sky was filled with dark clouds and a heavy rain poured down. The two had to hide in a nearby abandoned warehouse to take shelter from the rain.
In the warehouse, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sat side by side, listening to the rain outside, chatting about their past and dreams. Zhou Xing told Ling Xue that when he was a child, he once dreamed of becoming a martial arts master and traveling around the world with a sword; while Ling Xue said
She has always yearned for a free life and hoped to open a seafood restaurant of her own.
The more the two chatted, the more they seemed to have found a soulmate. At this moment, Zhou Xing suddenly held Ling Xue's hand tightly, looked into her eyes affectionately and said, "Ling Xue, I like you! I am willing to spend my whole life
Come and protect you!"
Ling Xue was moved by Zhou Xing's sincerity. Her eyes were moist and tears fell down her cheeks. She also held Zhou Xing's hand tightly and said softly: "Zhou Xing, I like you too! I am willing to face the difficulties in the future with you."
and challenge!”

However, the good times did not last long, and just when they were immersed in happiness, a greater disaster was quietly approaching...
One night a few days later, when Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were sleeping, they were suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw several men in black standing outside the door and said with gloomy faces: "Zhou Xing."
Your stall's business is so popular that it's affecting our boss's business. We've been ordered to teach you a lesson tonight!"
After saying that, those people rushed into the house and beat Zhou Xing and Ling Xue crazily. Although Zhou Xing had practiced martial arts, he seemed powerless under the siege of so many people and was quickly knocked to the ground unable to move.
Ling Xue, on the other hand, was too weak to resist and could only watch Zhou Xing being beaten.
Just when Zhou Xing was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly remembered his promise - to protect Ling Xue for the rest of his life! This thought made him instantly full of strength. He opened his eyes suddenly and struggled to stand up. He waved his hands.
The butcher knife in his hand rushed towards the men in black. Although his body was scarred, his eyes were extremely firm.
The men in black were so frightened by Zhou Xing's momentum that they forgot to attack for a moment. Ling Xue also took the opportunity to pick up a wooden stick and join the battle. Although she didn't know martial arts, she even defeated several black men with her fierce strength.
Clothes man.
In the end, under the desperate resistance of the two men, the men in black were finally driven away. However, Zhou Xing fell to the ground unconscious due to excessive injuries. Ling Xue cried and rushed to his side, holding his hand tightly.
Pray that he won't leave her alone.
After this disaster, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's relationship deepened and they supported each other through this difficult time together. Zhou Xing's injury gradually improved under Ling Xue's careful care.
However, they didn't know that this disaster was just the tip of the iceberg. A bigger crisis was still waiting for them...
As night fell, the lights of Chang'an City gradually turned on. General Zhou Xing, who held a heavy army, inspected the military camp, but his heart was filled with doubts. During the morning session this morning, he noticed that the "Emperor" Ling Xue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked nervous.
His eyes were flickering. Zhou Xing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.
"General, is everything going well?" Lieutenant General Li Feng asked softly.
Zhou Xing looked back at Li Feng and said in a deep voice: "Li Feng, don't you think His Majesty who came to court this morning is a little strange?"
Li Feng was slightly surprised: "What's so strange about Your Majesty?"
"He looks nervous, as if he is hiding something." Zhou Xing said thoughtfully, "Go and find out if there has been any unusual movement in the palace recently."
It was night, Zhou Xing returned to his mansion, and the scene of today's morning court kept replaying in his mind. Suddenly, a bold thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that the 'emperor' was actually being impersonated? The real His Majesty has been destroyed.
Someone assassinated you?"
The next day, Li Feng brought news: "General, there is indeed something unusual in the palace these days. I heard that a woman disguised as a woman has disappeared recently, and she has not been found yet."
After hearing the news, Zhou Xing's doubts deepened. He decided to investigate the matter secretly.
A few days later, Zhou Xing sneaked into the palace and hid in the dark to observe. He saw the "Emperor" Ling Xue reading the memorials alone in the study, his expression still nervous. At this moment, a palace maid quietly entered the study and whispered: "Qi Qi."
Your Majesty, the body of the woman dressed as a woman has been taken care of."
Ling Xue nodded and waved away the palace maid, with a look of relief on her face. Zhou Xing frowned. It seemed that his guess was correct. The emperor in front of him was indeed a fake. But who was so bold and dared to pretend to be the emperor?
?Why do you do this?
Zhou Xing decided to speed up the investigation. He quietly sneaked into the palace through a trusted spy and tried to find more clues. Soon after, he found some clues, which all pointed to a place called "Golden Thread Pavilion".
Jinlu Pavilion is a secret attic deep in the palace, rarely visited by people. Zhou Xing realized that this might be the key to solving the mystery. One night, he took advantage of the guard's negligence and quietly entered Jinlu Pavilion.
In the attic, Zhou Xing found some secret letters and clothes. Among the clothes, there was a complete set of dragon robes, the size of which was obviously that of a woman. At this time, Zhou Xing was basically sure that the "emperor" in front of him was a man in disguise.
woman.
Just as Zhou Xing was about to leave, there were footsteps outside the door. He quickly hid in the shadows and saw two guards escorting a woman in gorgeous clothes in. That woman was none other than the current "Emperor" Ling Xue.
Lingxue entered the attic, looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, she took out a delicate small box from a hidden corner. She opened the box and found a gold hairpin with a special mark inside. Lingxue looked at the gold hairpin and murmured
Said to himself: "If you wait a little longer, the truth will be revealed soon."
Zhou Xing held his breath and tried to remain silent as much as possible. After Ling Xue left, he quickly left the attic and returned to the mansion. At this time, he was basically certain that there must be a huge conspiracy behind the fake emperor Ling Xue.
The next day, Zhou Xing met Li Feng and briefly informed him of his findings. Li Feng was shocked and expressed his full support for Zhou Xing's investigation.
After several days of secret investigations, Zhou Xing finally got more evidence and gradually found out Ling Xue's true identity - a princess who lost power due to a coup. In order to protect her family, she had to disguise herself as a man and find opportunities for revenge.
.However, in the process, she unexpectedly found that she fell in love with the position of general.
Zhou Xing felt pity for Ling Xue's experience, but he also understood that as a general, he had the responsibility to maintain the stability of the country. So, he began to secretly plan how to avoid causing greater turmoil while revealing the truth.
Late one night, Zhou Xing summoned a group of confidant generals and arranged a secret operation. Their goal was to ensure that the true royal blood returned to the throne, and at the same time to eliminate all those behind the scenes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the night of the operation, Zhou Xing personally led the elite soldiers and surrounded Jinlu Pavilion. Ling Xue seemed to have already noticed that when Zhou Xing led his men to break in, she had been waiting for a long time. Two
Their eyes met, and there were complex emotions in Ling Xue's eyes.
"Zhou Xing, you know I have no choice but to retreat." Ling Xue's voice was low and calm.
Zhou Xing approached step by step, his eyes firm: "Miss Lingxue, as long as you hand over your real power, I am willing to keep you safe."
Ling Xue smiled bitterly: "Preservation? I carry not only hatred, but also the fate of the entire family."
Just as the two sides were confronting each other, the mastermind behind the scenes appeared - the real culprit, a greedy Uncle Wang, who attempted to use Ling Xue's identity to usurp the throne. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue joined forces and finally defeated Uncle Wang and his gang.
After the battle, Zhou Xing ordered his men to take Uncle Wang to prison to await trial. Ling Xue took off her disguise and regained her daughter's body. She knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down her face: "General, thank you."
Zhou Xing gently helped Ling Xue up: "The past is irreversible, but we can still start over in the future."
Ling Xue nodded and decided to remain anonymous from now on and stay away from the palace disputes. Zhou Xing continued to assist the new king and protect the country.
A few months later, at the new king's enthronement ceremony, Zhou Xing stood beside the new king, staring at the rising sun in the distance. He knew that he had not only preserved the stability of the country, but also helped a princess troubled by hatred to find her love.
Although the road ahead is unknown, just like the rising sun that day, the future is always full of hope.
Zhou Xing was wearing a dragon robe and walking calmly on the corridor of the palace. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he had foreseen the changes in the future.
At this time, Ling Xue was standing in the courtyard of the General's Mansion.
