Zhang Chen's fingers flexed and unclenched stiffly. A gloom suddenly flashed across his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "I started learning how to play the flute at the age of seven, and achieved some mastery by the time I was fifteen. Even if I were truly gifted, I wouldn't have achieved this level of skill on my first try."

Fang Shan looked at him with a half-smile: "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Chen said confidently, "You must have come into contact with this thing somewhere else before."

He spoke to the point, as he knew very well what his superiors were thinking. As long as he planted a seed of doubt, it would take root and sprout in no time.

Fang Shan smiled good-naturedly: "This only proves that talent is important."

"Talent?" Zhang Chen scoffed and suddenly looked at Prince Li: "What do you think?"

Fang Shan stood quietly aside at this moment, secretly raising his eyebrows, but did not refute. Instead, he admired this person's tenacity, as he did not forget to sow discord even at this time.

Prince Li was completely indifferent.

Zhang Chen was not giving up: "Your Majesty, don't you have any doubts?"

Prince Li: "If he really is your accomplice..." Having said this, he actually breathed a sigh of relief: "That would be great."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Fang Shan nodded.

It's more than good, it's perfect!

Zhang Chen frowned: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

King Li: "Then you can disintegrate from within."

Everyone nodded again, feeling that King Li had hit the nail on the head.

Fang Shan turned around unexpectedly and saw everyone avoiding his gaze. His expression turned grim. "You guys actually want to kick me into the enemy camp?"

Prince Li avoided his gaze and said with a guilty conscience, "This is also for the sake of the overall situation."

Fang Shan bit her lip and looked at Wei Sushen: "Even you treat me like this?"

Wei Sushen said calmly: "I don't have the same idea as them."

He spoke sincerely. After all, Fang Shan had already trained him to be neither happy in life nor afraid of death.

Fang Shan, who was being targeted by the whole world for no reason: "..."

Li Wang skipped the topic that made everyone feel awkward and glanced at Yun Han: "Continue to use the medicine."

Yun Han's methods were not as good as his appearance. He lifted Zhang Chen's jaw and forced all the powder in a small bottle into his mouth. Zhang Chen clutched his throat tightly with both hands, seeming to be in great pain, and the whimpers he made from time to time were frightening.

"I, I said..." He rolled back and forth on the ground: "Please give me the antidote!"

Fang Shan was surprised and thought that this medicine could make people mute.

Yun Han seemed to see what he was thinking: "You need to tell the truth."

Since you have to speak, you can't make people speechless.

"Itchy... so itchy!" Zhang Chen scratched his neck with his nails, leaving several bloody marks, trying to relieve the extreme itchiness.

King Li gave a look, indicating that it was almost done, but Yun Han remained unmoved and continued to observe his condition after taking the medicine.

King Li's eyelids twitched. A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Chen was finally fed the antidote.

Prince Li suddenly pointed at Yun Han and asked, "To create the living dead, one must be proficient in medical knowledge. Is he also in cahoots with you?"

After enduring a series of tortures, Zhang Chen waved his hands weakly, staring at the beam above his head with lifeless eyes: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

He tilted his head to the side and said weakly, "Can I have some water first?"

Everyone here was heartless, except Meng Xunmei, who was a little soft-hearted and still fed him some water.

"My ancestors were corpse drivers," Zhang Chen said slowly. "I can't trace back the exact time when I started studying these things. As far as I can remember, I've been asked to control the living dead."

After the previous twists and turns, Prince Li's patience had long since run out: "Just pick out the important things to tell me."

Zhang Chen: "I only know how to control them. My father has the skills to create the living dead. I also have a younger sister who is responsible for luring young people in the city and bringing them here for experiments."

When King Li heard that they were specifically arresting young people, his expression turned cold.

Zhang Chen said coldly, "Except for a few outsiders, most of them deserved to die. Some homeless people saw a girl's generosity and became malicious, so they followed her out of the city."

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, but they are the oriole.

Fang Shan listened with great interest: "You have a clear division of labor."

Zhang Chen: "I've said everything I need to say. Just give me a quick death."

King Li asked, "Where is your father?"

Zhang Chen: "It's deep in the mountains and old forests, I don't know the details. He always dislikes me for not being able to accomplish anything big, so he only lets me control simple poultry. When it's absolutely necessary, I can control the villagers to do things for us."

Prince Li looked at Fang Shan and said, "Take your men and search the mountain."

Fang Shan had no objection. He could blow the thin blades to control the living dead, which provided an extra layer of security compared to others.

"Too many people would be a burden," Fang Shan pointed at Meng Xunmei and Yun Han in turn, "the two of them are enough."

Yun Han is a highly skilled doctor, so it is understandable to take him with him, but King Li couldn't understand why he had to take Meng Xunmei with him.

Fang Shan gave an extremely unconvincing reason: "I'm taking Miss Meng to see the world."

Prince Li wanted to investigate further, but when he saw Fang Shan, his right eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably. He immediately gestured, "Go quickly."

Fang Shan was completely sent away. Mengxun Meishang was completely confused and didn't understand why they had inexplicably joined the mountain patrol team.

Wei Sushen came out soon after. He was quite humane. King Li had suffered a series of blows recently. Leaving a cult leader alone would only cause trouble for the other party.

Three men and one woman walked into the vast mountains and rivers in eerie silence.

Selfishly, Meng Xunmei preferred to go out with them, or more precisely, with Yun Han. She had a strong curiosity about everything. However, when they were truly surrounded by mountains and valleys, they felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. It seemed as if a living dead would emerge from the dense forest at any moment.

Wei Sushen: "Start looking for water sources first."

"The area is so large, why not split into two teams?" Fang Shan suddenly suggested.

The first one to nod in agreement was Yun Han: "I'll go with you."

Fang Shan was slightly surprised.

Yun Han: "You can control the living dead, and I know poison, so it's convenient for us to work together."

Fang Shan tentatively asked, "Isn't it because it's safer to be with me?"

Yun Han nodded: "This is the main reason."

“…”

As everyone had their own ulterior motives and could not reach a consensus, they ended up ironically joining hands.

Fearing he might alert the enemy, Fang Shan didn't rush to use the thin slices. He stood on a higher, flat ground and surveyed the surrounding mountains and rivers. Clouds thickened in the distance, and his gaze finally settled on a less steep mountain.

"Go and take a look."

The mountain road was muddy. Fang Shan was walking in front, looking back from time to time. When he saw that Yun Han did not support Meng Xunmei, his thin lips immediately formed a stern straight line and he cast a reproachful look at him.

Yun Han frowned slightly because of his strange behavior, but Meng Xunmei felt that Fang Shan was a man who knew how to take care of girls and was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Going further, there were some animal bones on the ground. Fang Shan squatted down to check. They were very small and did not look like the remains of limbs eaten by wild beasts. There were also some burnt marks around them.

"It looks like it's nearby." He stood up and scanned the surroundings, pointing to a place hidden by lush branches and leaves: "There."

Meng Xunmei unconsciously grabbed Yun Han's sleeve.

Yun Han: "This place is far away from where the coffin was found last time. If the other party is really hiding here, it means that he is not only cunning but also cautious. It is best to be cautious."

"That makes sense." Fang Shan took a step back: "You go ahead."

Yun Han's face was calm, only the slightly clenched and unclenched fist hidden in his sleeve proved that he had once intended to punch someone off the mountain.

After the two changed positions, Fang Shan had not taken a few steps when he was suddenly grabbed by Wei Sushen.

"Don't follow too closely, you might get affected."

Fang Shan covered his chest... When did the host he raised become so considerate?

Yun Han turned around and used great manners to avoid a fight on the spot: "Please speak in a low voice."

Fang Shan nodded cooperatively.

The branches hang down unnaturally. If you get closer, you can easily tell that there is a cave underneath. If you lift them up and go in, you will definitely disturb the people inside.

Fang Shan pursed his lips: "It was designed on purpose."

Yun Han frowned: "Go in directly?"

Fang Shan: "I have no objection."

Yun Han took a step forward and was about to pull away the branches that were in the way, but his arm froze in mid-air... Why did he have to take this risk?

Fang Shan: "If the living dead attack, I'll be at the rear and can immediately control the blowing."

The excuse is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

He turned slightly to the side, avoiding the position of the cave entrance to avoid being hit first. With the sound of falling leaves, a black shadow rushed out.

This figure was like a poisonous snake, extremely fast and swift in attack. Yun Han had put on a pair of silver gloves at some point and slapped the opponent with one palm, making the opponent's surprise attack in vain.

Fang Shan blew the thin piece at the right time, and the attack slowed down instantly.

Yun Han looked up and saw five or six undead within a few feet of him, maintaining attacking postures. Even though he was a skilled martial artist, he couldn't help but frown. Two fists were no match for four hands, and these undead were not afraid of poison, making it a huge hassle to deal with them.

When Fang Shan was playing, another sound of music joined in, and the two sounds intertwined with each other. The rhythm was obviously opposite, which made people feel indescribably depressed.

The living dead moved stiffly for a few times, then dropped his arms again. This repeated repeatedly. Fang Shan turned his head slightly and said to Wei Sushen behind him, "Go in and arrest them."

A moment later, Wei Sushen came out holding a struggling middle-aged man.

Although he is middle-aged, he looks to be in his early thirties. He is thin and has a pair of sparkling eyes. At this moment, he is staring at everyone angrily.

Fang Shan smiled, walked over and said, "I was wondering why you and Zhang Chen didn't look much alike, but now it seems that the resentful look in your eyes is exactly the same."

The middle-aged man said angrily: "That bastard actually dared to betray me!"

Fang Shan stared at the middle-aged man for a long time as if he was looking at a specimen, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Be careful!" Meng Xunmei suddenly shouted and pounced towards Yun Han.

Yun Han pulled her to the side, and saw dust rising from where they were standing. A petite woman was holding a sharp knife, looking at them coldly.

Meng Xunmei's arm was cut by a dagger, the wound was very deep, and Yun Han tore off a piece of cloth to help her stop the bleeding.

"Are you okay?" Meng Xunmei smiled weakly.

Not only Yun Han, but even Fang Shan and Wei Sushen couldn't understand why she would risk her life to save others.

"Why?" After a while, Yun Han finally asked.

Meng Xunmei bit her lip: "You can't be in trouble."

Yun Han was stunned.

Meng Xunmei's beautiful eyes trembled, and she clutched his sleeve tightly: "You are the only one who can still see me."

Whether it was the eldest senior brother or Prince Li, they seemed to have amnesia since they met those two people, and became more and more distant from her. Only Yun Han did not ignore her existence.

What's this?

——This is love!

The author has something to say: Meng Xunmei (angrily accusing): Look at what you have forced me, Meng Lisu, into. You should feel ashamed!
