Zhao Fan cursed tirelessly for a long time. In the outside world, every word would have been considered treasonous. But Prince Li ignored him, gazing at the men working in the distance. "You frog in the well, you dare to think you can compare yourself to me?"
A cool breeze blew by, and Zhao Fan suddenly regained consciousness. He concealed the cunning in his eyes and struggled desperately, "Your Highness and I have stumbled upon each other by chance. It is a kind of fate. I am proficient in the Eight Trigrams. If Your Highness trusts me, I can definitely leave this world and become the overlord of the world."
Seeing Prince Li remained silent, he thought there was hope and quickly said, "A nation can only be secure if it has dragon veins. I can lend you some luck, Your Highness, so that you can truly possess the destiny of a true dragon emperor."
After a long while, Zhao Fan was feeling anxious, and finally the other party spoke.
"Your understanding is too poor." King Li moved his fingers, and a guard appeared from the shadows: "Get rid of him."
Zhao Fan widened his eyes in horror and wanted to continue to bewitch, but the guard locked his throat and he couldn't make a sound.
You don't have to think about it to know his ending. If he is not valued by King Li, only death will be waiting for him.
Without the order from King Li, Fang Shan could only stand there and continue to blow the wind. King Li's eyes were full of vicissitudes and wisdom, while Fang Shan was lost in thought.
Prince Li had long noticed that his counselor was distracted, but he did not speak to wake him up. However, half an incense stick had passed, and Fang Shan was still in a daze. Prince Li was too lazy to waste any more time, so he clapped his hands, and the sound successfully brought Fang Shan back to his senses.
"The prince ordered." Fang Shan clasped his fists, showing no sign of distraction.
King Li sighed and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
There are fewer people, and there are fewer troubles. In this world that is neither big nor small, people get along well with each other. When they see new people coming, they will enthusiastically take them around.
Prince Li did not really cut off all their contact with the outside world, and promised that any promising children in the future could take the imperial examinations as long as they were capable, and once they entered officialdom, he would help promote one or two.
Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle, Fang Shan's actions were less likely to be noticed. He soon found Wei Sushen, who was playing chess with Bai Yeshang.
Fang Shan stood quietly by the side and waited until they finished before speaking and telling them about King Li.
Bai Yesang, who was arranging the chessboard, was slightly startled. Although he felt that he was insulting the royal family, he couldn't help but ask, "Is his brain not working well?"
Fang Shan was also speechless. Wei Sushen suddenly said, "I heard that Prince Li rarely participated in the transportation in the past. Since he went there personally this time, he must have other things to do."
Bai Ye Shang frowned: "The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon. It is indeed a bit strange for Prince Li to travel at this critical moment."
Fang Shan stared at him: "You are weird too."
Bai Yeshang was puzzled.
Fang Shan: "Your little junior sister has been in the team for so many days, and I haven't seen Brother Bai say a word to her."
Bai Yeshang was a little embarrassed and seemed to feel that this was inappropriate. He said a few words to them and went to visit his junior sister who was almost forgotten in the corner.
Fang Shan sat down, holding the black piece: "How about I play the next game with you?"
Wei Sushen nodded.
I had expected him to be sneaky and persistent, but Fang Shan's style of play was surprisingly decisive. After making another move, he said, "In terms of skill, even if Bai Yeshang recovers, he's probably slightly inferior to Li Wang. This doesn't fit the description of the protagonist as invincible."
Wei Sushen looked up at him and asked, "Are you leaning towards Prince Li?"
"It was like this before," Fang Shan shook his head, "but now..."
The words were not finished, but both of them knew the subtext.
"Let's observe and see," Fang Shan said again after thinking for a while: "Meng Xunmei is the key to the entire game. Wherever she is, the plot will be triggered."
Wei Sushen ate one of Fang Shan's pieces and said something besides, "Don't get too close to Prince Li. If you keep doing this, you might end up being Princess Li."
Fang Shan turned the tables and said, "I think Bai Yeshang has the potential to become the leader of the martial arts world. The host should be careful and not become the leader's wife by accident."
The two men's eyes met in mid-air, and they snorted coldly at the same time and walked away.
Fang Shan's residence was very close to Li Wang's. That night, he saw a candlelight flickering in Li Wang's house. After a moment's thought, he knocked on the door and entered.
There was a map on the table, and Prince Li was looking down in thought: "You've come just in time, come and take a look."
The map was limited to the surrounding mountains. Li Wang pointed at a groove in the mountains and asked inexplicably, "What do you think?"
"Not far away is a rushing stream. This is a flooded area, and there's a gap in the mountain. If you just appreciate it, it's a wonderful spectacle. But if..."
"What if?" King Li's eyes were sharp.
Fang Shan smiled and said, "If it is used as a burial ground, the negative energy will collide and become evil over time. I'm afraid that something not so clean will be born."
Prince Li smiled and said, "You are quite knowledgeable."
Fang Shan didn't respond, so Prince Li continued, "I call this Wuyou Village because I hope it can become a place where people can truly live and work in peace and contentment, and no one will be tolerated to act recklessly here."
Fang Shan: "How can I be of assistance?"
King Li rolled up the map and said, "Wuyou Village was not built on a whim of this king..."
Halfway through his words, he accidentally noticed Fang Shan's expression and frowned: "What are you looking at?"
Fang Shan quickly retracted his gaze and put on a submissive look.
Prince Li shook his head and continued, "Wuyou Village was formerly Yongle Township, but for some unknown reason, Yongle Township disappeared overnight."
"Overnight?"
Prince Li said calmly, "Yongle Township has had little contact with the outside world, so we don't know exactly what happened. However, no matter how bizarre the rumors are, the disappearance of Yongle Township is a fact."
As if feeling a bit stuffy in the room, Prince Li pushed open a window and said, "During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, there were rumors of a secret method of immortality in Yongle Township. However, Emperor Gaozu was a wise ruler and did not believe it. Instead, he arrested and imprisoned all those who spread the rumors."
Fang Shan: "Emperor Gaozu is a rare wise ruler."
These words were spoken sincerely. Since ancient times, when the throne was about to end, the emperor would fantasize about immortality. However, Emperor Gaozu was very clear-headed.
"The great-grandfather doesn't believe it, the current emperor doesn't believe it, and neither does I." A sinister glint flashed in Prince Li's eyes. "I don't know who has been leaking the news about Wuyou Village recently, even linking it to Changsheng. I've come here to put an end to this matter once and for all."
Fang Shan nodded and asked for the map from King Li: "I will go check it out tonight."
Prince Li looked at him with a rather amused expression: "You are not afraid of anything."
Fang Shan said righteously: "A person with integrity is not afraid of his own shadow."
Prince Li originally wanted to sneer at him, but there was no trace of joking on the latter's face, as if what he said was serious.
Prince Li felt a little headache, pressed his brows and asked him to leave.
Fang Shan is essentially a decisive person. As soon as he goes out, he uses his lightness skills to fly to the place indicated on the map.
This plane cannot allow the emergence of immortal beings, and the rumors are not credible. However, human potential lies in invention and creation. If something strange appears, there is really no need to be shocked.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Wei Sushen was also here. Fang Shan looked at him with raised eyebrows, wondering what he was thinking about.
Before he could draw any more exaggerated conclusions, Wei Sushen spoke first: "It was Prince Li who asked me to come here."
Fang Shan was slightly surprised.
Wei Sushen walked in front: "It's related to medicine, and I'm a doctor, so naturally I have to come and take a look."
Fang Shan: "So, King Li informed you privately early in the morning?"
Wei Sushen nodded.
Fang Shan's eyes tightened. "How dare you do this behind my back?"
Wei Sushen said calmly: "This is called enjoying the blessing of having many wives."
Fang Shan looked at him dimly: "You are naughty."
The two of them were teasing each other as they walked along the mountain stream, their hair untied, making them look like real ghosts.
When they reached a place, Fang Shan suddenly stopped and pointed somewhere in front.
Following the direction of his finger, I saw a group of people lined up in the woods in the distance. They were walking around in a daze, with disheveled hair and distracted eyes.
Wei Sushen and Fang Shan moved, preparing to hide behind a rock, but there was actually another person in the narrow space. When they suddenly met a pair of eyes, both of them felt a little scared.
The first to calm down was Wei Sushen. In the dim moonlight, he recognized the man's identity: "Yun Hong?"
As both were recruited by the palace, Wei Sushen and Yun Hong had had several contacts, but to be frank, they could only be described as casual acquaintances.
Yun Hong nodded in response, and the three of them remained silent. After the men had left, a small mouse emerged from Yun Hong's sleeve and tracked down the place where the group of strange men had disappeared.
Fang Shan still had a faint smile on his face: "Brother Yun, what a coincidence."
Yun Hong glanced at the two of them and found it strange that an advisor to King Li and a commoner who was recruited into the palace actually had such a close relationship in private.
Fang Shan seemed not to notice the suspicion in his eyes: "Why are you here, Brother Yun, in the middle of the night?"
Yun Hong glanced at him indifferently, revealing the same doubt.
Fang Shan: "We two are here to investigate on the orders of the prince."
Yun Hong then replied, "I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
The reason he gave was ridiculous, but when it came out of his mouth, people couldn't help but want to believe it.
Fang Shan: "That's all?"
Yun Hong confessed unexpectedly: "Anle Township involves the secret of longevity, and the purpose of my trip is to find out."
Fang Shan smiled playfully, "Brother Yun, are you interested in bizarre rumors?"
Yun Hong said calmly, "I'm only interested in medical theory."
Hearing this, Fang Shan smiled and said to Wei Sushen, "This is something we have in common."
Wei Sushen played up his miraculous doctor persona: "As a doctor, you must see more and think more, so that you can gain more knowledge."
Fang Shan gave a false compliment, but Yun Hong felt very strange hearing these words from this person.
He frowned to suppress the strange feeling, and suddenly started discussing pharmacology with Wei Sushen.
Wei Sushen had no real talent or knowledge in this area, but he spoke in a very pleasant manner: "I knew medicine at the age of three, studied medicine at the age of seven, and have been saving lives since the age of ten. The questions you ask are too simple. Why bother asking others? Just ask for a book."
Fang Shan was walking by and his eyelids twitched... He couldn't bear to listen any longer, so it was hard for Wei Sushen to say it without blushing or getting angry.
Yun Hong's voice was slightly cold: "You are very confident."
Wei Sushen nodded and glanced at him with a complicated look: "Because I am proud of my identity."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back. As the world's number one doctor, he had the capital to be proud of himself.
The author has something to say: Yun Hong: I just want to know who gave you the courage!
