106. Returning

A poisonous snake shot at Mo Yanzhi. Mo Yanzhi waved his sword at the snake and the snake's head was cut off the ground. It was really cut into two halves.

Tian Yushu said, "Everyone, don't separate. Be careful."

Han Tingxuan was the first to agree. "You are right. Everyone, get closer. If anything happens, we can react in time."

After less than ten minutes, a few poisonous snakes attacked altogether.

Han, who was walking in front, cut two poisonous snakes to death with his soft sword.

Tian Yushu, who was walking at the back, also killed two.

The last one was killed by Mo Yanzhi.

They didn't even have time to drink water. After two hours, they only reached the center of the forest and were still far away from the edge!

Among the four people, even Han was a little tired.

Along the way, Han had been leading the way. Han was observant to find out poisonous creatures, including poisonous snakes, poisonous plants, scorpions, poisonous spiders, and so on. They either killed them or avoid them. Thanks to Han, they were away from the poison.

"We are too tired. Let's rest for a while," said Mo Yanzhi.

Most of the reason why he made this request was Han Tingxuan.

Tian Yushu looked at Mo Yanzhi, then at Han Tingxuan and nodded in agreement. "Rest for a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour was good enough for Han Tingxuan to rest his legs.

A quarter of an hour later, the four people continued on their way.

Mo Yanzhi held Han Tingxuan's elbow. "Hubby, I'll carry you for a while."

Han Tingxuan shook his head. "I am fine. I can continue."

Mo Yanzhi wanted to say something but Han Tingxuan held his hand. "Don't worry, I'll tell you if I'm really tired."

"Okay," Mo Yanzhi nodded.

Even at night they couldn't stop for a rest because the forest was more dangerous than the mountains!

They had bumped into ferocious beasts. When they dealt with a black bear, Han Tingxuan and Tian Yushu teamed up together and spent quite a while to kill it. Worse than that, they almost attracted the partner of the black bear.

When it was drawn, the four people who had been attacked countless times in the night finally reached the edge of the forest!

However, they were ambushed by a bunch of assassins waiting outside!

Tian Yushu couldn't help but curse.

Mo Yanzhi carried Han Tingxuan on his back and retreated quickly. However, there were too many assassins. There might more than 30! And two of them were top assassins from Heavenly Extinction Sect.

The two top assassins had a hard fight against Han. The remaining 30 assassins weren't easy to deal with.

After a quarter of an hour of fighting, Tian Yushu had already suffered two sword wounds.

On the other hand, Mo Yanzhi was also injured because he focused on protecting Han Tingxuan on his back.

Han was not injured, but the strength of the two top assassins was even higher Mo Yanzhi and Tian Yushu. Therefore, it might not be too difficult for Han to deal with them, but it would take some time.

Just as Tian Yushu was thinking whether they should retreat to the forest, two groups of people finally arrived.

And these two groups of people... were the secret guards sent by Tian Yuexi and Tian Yushu's own secret guards!

With the help of these secret guards, the pressure on Tian Yushu and the rest instantly lessened.

A while later, several more secret guards arrived. One of them was Shadow Four.

Mo Yanzhi did not need to fight anymore. He stood aside with Han Tingxuan. Shadow Four came to them. So did Shadow Five.

Shadow Five only took orders from Tian Yuexi.

"Your highness, the Emperor has a secret order for you."

Han Tingxuan paused. "Hmm? Where is it?

"Secret decree, message of words," Shadow Five said.

Han Tingxuan nodded. "Alright, let's talk over there."

Mo Yanzhi frowned and Han Tingxuan said, "I'll go. Yanzhi, Shadow Four, stay guarded here. Don't let anyone get close."

Mo Yanzhi nodded.

Shadow Five and Han Tingxuan walked a distance away. When Han Tingxuan heard that Tian Yuexi could only live a day and a half, he froze there.

He was even more shocked when he heard that the prince had actually died two days ago.

Why did so many things happen in such a short time!

Tian Zhuoyou, the child who had lived with them for a long time, whom they would accompany for a walk and swing every night, who used to call him and Mo Yanzhi uncle, really died?

Was this true? Why did he feel a little unreal?

Han Tingxuan finally came back to his senses when the assassins were killed. However, he felt a little cold in his heart and his body.

"Hubby?" Mo Yanzhi noticed Han Tingxuan's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Han Tingxuan took a deep breath. It was impossible to hide Tian Yuexi as a secret. But… Tian Yushu was here and more enemies behind.

When he saw Mo Yanzhi's worried expression, Han Tingxuan thought of Tian Yuexi again.

Then, a crazy plan came across his mind.

"Hubby? What's wrong with you?”

Han Tingxuan forced a smile on his face. "I am fine. Are we safe now?"

Mo Yanzhi nodded and looked at Han Tingxuan worriedly. "Is there anything wrong with Big Brother?"

“Nothing like that.” Han Tingxuan smiled again. Then, he saw that Tian Yushu walking towards them. Thus, Han Tingxuan took the lead and said, "uncle, Yanzhi and I are too tired. We are going to have a good sleep at the Han Residence. What about you?"

Tian Yushu looked at Han Tingxuan and scanned over Shadow Five. Then he said, "Mmm, I'll go back and rest."

"Alright, then this is where we say goodbye. See you tomorrow," Han Tingxuan said and shouted, "Shadow Four."

Shadow Four rushed over. "Master."

"Let's go back."

"Yes!" Shadow Four replied loudly.

Shadow Five left silently with the secret guards he brought. As for the corpses on the ground, someone would come to take care of them. The prefecture official of City of Capital was already waiting for the case. These bodies would eventually be taken care of by the Criminal Department.

It was a little pity that there were so many assassins, except for those who were killed, all the rest killed themselves. No one was left alive for interrogation.

However, at this time, there was probably no need for living assassin!

Tian Yushu was the last to leave. He coldly looked at the bodies on the ground. His eyes were ice-cold.
