The two sides looked at each other, and Fang Shan looked away first.

"My philosophy as a leader is to promote love and peace," Fang Shan said seriously. "The current situation may be due to too much love."

In early romance novels, it was easy to distinguish the female protagonist and the supporting female characters, but the real headache was determining the male protagonist.

Wei Sushen: "Games usually have more than one ending."

"There's no such loophole," Fang Shan shook his head. "Since it was clearly stated from the beginning that it was adapted from a novel, there can only be one."

After a while, he continued, "You should find an opportunity to enter the palace as soon as possible. At the same time, do not restrict Meng Xunmei's activities. I need to observe her attitude towards these men."

Wei Sushen and Fang Shan had been 'working together' for a long time and had a very thorough understanding of his character. He said this one more thing, which must mean he was trying to find a shortcut.

Ignoring the other party's speculation, Fang Shan said solemnly, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

“…Is that so?”

Fang Shan hooked his finger. Wei Sushen said, "It's broad daylight, it won't have a good influence."

Fang Shan then took two steps into the alley and moved his index finger again. Wei Sushen followed and leaned over to listen to the whisper.

"Who says there has to be only one male lead?"

Wei Sushen was puzzled.

Fang Shan coughed lightly. "There are also those that end with a perfect ending, where mutual compromise leads to great love."

Wei Sushen frowned: "Explain it more clearly."

Fang Shan: "After a painful struggle, we decided to love someone together."

Wei Sushen caught a glimpse of it and his expression changed slightly.

Fang Shan nudged him lightly with disdain. "Stay away from me. You're clearly unworldly." He added, "With the host's configuration, if he were born in a plane like that, he would definitely be part of the harem."

He realized he had been out for a long time today and that if he didn't go back, it might arouse suspicion, so he patted Wei Sushen's shoulder and said, "Let's talk later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shan used his lightness skills to go around the wall and soon disappeared.

That night, Wei Sushen had a nightmare for the first time in his life. There is no need to go into details about the content. In short, when he woke up the next day, he looked exhausted.

Fang Shan only raised a possibility. If he knew the other party's reaction, he would probably scold him for being useless.

Prince Li's moods are unpredictable, and the servants serving him are always worried. Fang Shan's eccentricity actually provides a guarantee of safety.

"Come with me for a while."

Seeing that he didn't call himself "Prince," Fang Shan asked, "How should I address you, Your Highness, in public?"

"You are very clever." Prince Li's interest in him grew day by day. "Just call me Brother Zhao. On this trip, you and I are just friends of equal age."

While King Li seemingly only brought him along, Fang Shan could sense several more auras lurking in the shadows. Due to the constraints of the world's rules, his strength automatically matched that of the host. These auras were quite powerful, and if he fought them all on his own, he would have little chance of gaining any advantage.

Fang Shan felt that the place Li Wang was going this time was quite dangerous.

…

The horse galloped in the woods. The weather had been dry recently, and the yellow soil kicked up by the horse was flying all over the place, almost blinding people's eyes.

Fang Shan wore a face scarf, a bamboo hat, and a straw raincoat, revealing only a pair of bright black eyes. Prince Li couldn't help but turn his head away several times: "When you're out and about, keep a low profile."

Fang Shan nodded to show that he understood.

Prince Li was inconsolable: "You're wrapped up like you're going to steal. Are you afraid that others won't know?"

Fang Shan's voice was a little unclear through the cloth: "The wind and sand are strong, which is not good for the skin. In case of a sudden wind and rain, it is a rainy day. It is a rainy day."

The corner of Li Wang's eye twitched slightly: "The sun is shining brightly, how can it rain?"

After passing two post stations and entering the dense forest, the weather suddenly changed. Muffled thunder rolled in the thick clouds. First, one or two bean-sized raindrops fell, followed by heavy rain.

Prince Li was instantly soaked.

Fang Shan took out a bamboo hat from his bag and said, "One hundred taels."

Li Wang's face darkened: "Give it to me, this is an order."

Fang Shan said calmly, "A general is not subject to military orders while on the battlefield. Besides, the prince told you before you left that your current identity is Brother Zhao."

King Li used his inner strength to evaporate the moisture from his head, but in an instant he was soaked again.

"I take back what I said." A silver note appeared in front of Fang Shan, and King Li's face became even uglier. "Give it to me."

Fang Shan handed over the bamboo hat and said shyly, "As a counselor, these are just trivial matters."

Prince Li hadn't wanted Fang Shan to feel comfortable, having purposely skipped resting at the post station. He'd slept outdoors many times, leaning against a tree for the night. But Fang Shan's life was different: he had everything he needed: insect repellent, dry food, and even a small cushion. It was hard to imagine such a large package could hold so many items.

His face turned cold and he was about to speak when Fang Shan's head tilted and he fell asleep.

"Asshole." Prince Li cursed inwardly. Even the guards in the dark were very upset.

Contrast is the number one killer of happiness. They felt so uncomfortable watching Fang Shan sleeping soundly.

Everyone secretly cast longing glances at King Li, hoping that he would wake Fang Shan up and scold him harshly.

Prince Li was also a wonderful man. He had originally intended to do so, but after receiving so many expectant looks, he insisted on doing it his own way.

Thanks to the competition between the two sides, Fang Shan had a good sleep. The woods were exceptionally cool in the early morning, which was due to the internal strength of martial artists. An ordinary person would either freeze to death or suffer a stroke if they lay here all night.

"Good morning, my king." Fang Shan stretched and tilted his face up, making his expression unclear.

Prince Li's eyes moved: "This is extremely treasonous."

Fang Shan argued unreasonably: "The king I'm talking about is your Majesty's king."

Li Wang said coldly: "Put aside your little thoughts and continue on your way."

Fang Shan smiled and nodded in agreement, but the smile gradually faded as he turned to lead his horse. In that moment, he clearly caught the fluctuation in Prince Li's face. He was not without ambition for the throne.

Thinking of this, Fang Shan narrowed his eyes. Now the world is at peace and the emperor is working hard to govern the country. No matter from which perspective, Prince Li does not have the foundation for a successful rebellion.

After another half day of running, the horse was tired, and King Li slowed down. Fang Shan was eating beef jerky and sighed: "When will these days of sleeping in the open end?"

Looking at Fang Shan, then at the cold pancake he was chewing, King Li fell silent.

With a water bag hanging on his left and a wine jug tied to his right, Fang Shan was in a good mood. No one was restricting his drinking for the time being, so he was in a good mood. He was somewhat impressed by the hidden guards who had been following him, using Qinggong techniques all the time, so one could imagine how much internal energy they were using.

After nearly two days of trekking, they arrived at an inn at dusk. King Li asked the servant to take the horses to feed them. It was obvious that they were not going to rest, but that this inn was their destination.

This place is very remote, and only travelers passing by occasionally stay here. Li Wang has been sitting in the most conspicuous place since he came in.

Looking at Fang Shan, who stood motionless like a dead tree, King Li asked, "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Fang Shan hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are we having for dinner?"

He hesitated between dumplings and buns.

Prince Li's face darkened, and he suddenly closed his eyes. Seeing this, Fang Shan listened intently and heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. "Is it friend or foe?"

Prince Li put down his cup and said, "A mortal enemy."

Then he looked outside and said, "I have a pact with someone to fight to the death in three years."

Fang Shan wondered: "Why three years?"

"We were from the same school and practiced the same martial arts, which is divided into three levels. At that time, he and I were both stuck in the second level."

Fang Shan: "What about now?"

Prince Li: "I have just entered the third realm. As for him, I don't know yet."

The answer to this question soon came to us.

As a tall figure dismounted from the horse, Fang Shan and Li Wang's eyes tightened at the same time—

The internal strength has reached the highest level and can be controlled and released freely.

However, looking at the man's eyes again, there was a hint of bloodthirstiness, as if he was possessed by a demon.

There were more than twenty people behind him, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts.

King Li frowned: "You actually took the wrong path in order to force a breakthrough."

The magic of this technique is that it allows for quick results, but it may also cause mental confusion, making it difficult to make further progress.

"So what?"

Prince Li shook his head: "My master once said that it is foolish to ignore the main point and pursue the trivial."

The visitor smiled faintly: "As long as I can beat you once."

After saying this, he asked the shopkeeper to bring a pot of good wine and said, "It's getting late. Tomorrow we must have a fight to the death."

"good."

In the deserted inn, you can see the cold moon by opening the window.

King Li stood by the window with his hands behind his back. "Do you know why he gave me one more night?"

Behind him, in addition to Fang Shan, there were more than a dozen hidden guards kneeling on the ground.

No one spoke.

When Prince Li's patience was about to run out, Fang Shan said, "It's disgusting."

Li Wang raised his lip and said, "Indeed. If I want to win, I can always use the same method to advance further. However, if I do so, my martial arts will come to an end. If I lose, my life will be in danger."

The guards said in unison: "We will protect the prince until our death."

King Li waved his hand.

Everyone knew that the chances were slim, and the other party also brought a lot of experts.

At this time, Prince Li looked at Fang Shan with amusement: "What are your thoughts, my advisor?"

"I am willing to share your worries."

"Oh?" Prince Li suppressed his sarcasm and said seriously, "Do you really have a solution?"

Fang Shan: "There is one way to ensure the prince's safety." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Run away."

Including the secret guards, their expressions suddenly changed.

Fang Shan remained unmoved: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late."

Prince Li pressed his eyebrows and said, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Fang Shan was not ashamed: "They were the ones who annoyed me first. I'll give them a taste of their own medicine."

·

In the dim night, King Li walked out of the inn.

A man was sitting on the eaves of the inn, drinking wine facing the moon.

Prince Li untied the reins and said, "I'm going to a quiet place to practice martial arts. The decisive battle will be postponed to tomorrow evening."

A mocking voice came from the rooftop: "Aren't you the one who listens to Master the most? Why have you finally decided to follow my path?"

King Li snorted coldly, whipped his horse and rode away.

"Master." After the King left, one of the men who was guarding the tree asked, "Will they escape?"

The man threw the bottle away and said, "Don't worry, Prince Li is proud and would never resort to such a despicable trick."

At the same time, Fang Shan and Li Wang were running on the path.

"Your Highness, hurry up! Once we get back to the palace, we'll have experts guard us from behind. It'll be like a fortress, no matter how strong he is, he won't be able to get in."

Li Wang's whipping hand paused slightly in mid-air: "..."

Fang Shan was full of ambition: "Wait until your magical power is fully developed, then we will fight back and catch him off guard!"

“…”
