90: Allies With Benefits

Han Tingxuan was shocked. He quickly grabbed Tian Yushu's foot and pulled him back. He started to sweat in fear.

God knows if Tian Yushu would fall to death from such a high place!

Although he wanted to take revenge, he would prefer Tian Yushu to die in a “natural” way. If he killed him now, it would be big trouble.

"You… You… I didn't do it on purpose. Are you okay?" Han Tingxuan asked.

Tian Yushu spat out another mouthful of blood because of the sudden push. The color of the blood was not normal, a little dark, a bit purple?

Han Tingxuan was shocked. "What's going on? Do you know where we are?"

Tian Yushu took a deep breath and slowly shook his head. He glanced at Han Tingxuany. "I don't know where we are either."

Han Tingxuan got a little grumpy. He shouldn't have come to the mountain!

He promised Mo Yanzhi that he would be fine. Now he was not fine at all.

However, after a short while, Han Tingxuan calmed himself down.

"Let's go down first. We can't go out from here!"

Tian Yushu shrugged, "I also want to get out of the net. But I have to tell you something. I can’t use my martial arts for now."

Han Tingxuan was speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Han Tingxuan asked, "Can you move now?"

Tian Yushu smiled. "I might. But it's not possible to stand up on feet."

Han Tingxuan looked at him suspiciously. "Is that so? But I don't think you look like you are in that terrible situation." Why didn’t he buy it when Tian Yushu said that he could not use his martial arts or stand up?

Tian Yushu still smiled. "But this is the truth."

Han Tingxuan frowned and couldn't help saying, "Uncle, this place looks a little strange. I assume you don't want to spend the night here, right? We'd better leave early. It looks like our secret guards didn’t follow us."

Tian Yushu sighed. "There is no need to lie to you."

Han Tingxuan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, then I will help you slowly crawl to the side."

Tian Yushu nodded. "Alright. Thank you for taking care of me.”

Han Tingxuan had the impulse to shout swear words, but he held them back. He held up Tian Yuluo's hand and crawled towards the edge, dragging Tian Yushu.

Tian Yushu looked cooperative. His hands were trying very hard, but his feet were not moving at all.

"Uncle, cling your feet on the net and try hard,” Han Tingxuan said once he noticed the problems.

Tian Yushu shook his head. "I would if I can. But I can’t feel my feet.”

"Really?" Han Tingxuan asked in shock.

Tian Yushu smiled. "There is no need to lie to you."

No, there is a big reason you should lie to me. Maybe you are tricking me to kill you so that you have the right reason to kill me: self-defense.

After taking a deep breath, Han Tingxuan didn't say anything else. He grabbed Tian Yu's hand and crawled forward.

They were in the center of the net, about 10 meters away from the big tree.

However, walking ten meters on the ground was a small piece of cake, but climbing would be very difficult! Not to mention that he had to help an adult man.

Han Tingxuan was struggling to crawl. He had the urge to give up a few times. But when he looked back, he saw Tian Yushu working very hard, dragging his powerless feet. His face was sweaty. Han Tingxuan soldiered it through.

Were his feet impossible to move? Han Tingxuan couldn't help but think about this possibility!

While Han Tingxuan was struggling to move towards the tree, two groups of secret guards went crazy on the mountain!

They could not find their masters who disappeared very suddenly!

Because they were secret guards, and Tian Yushu and Han Tingxuan did not enter the depths of the dense forest. The most important job they had to do was to protect their masters from far.

They were not very far. They were close enough to catch up with their masters in two breaths in case of any emergency.

However, they were still a bit far away. They only heard a scream from Prince Chen’s husband, then the two of them disappeared. Their mastered disappeared from nowhere!

They rushed over quickly and only saw the closed ground!

The secret guards from both sides were driven crazy. Where were their masters? Therefore, it was rare for them to cooperate and beat on the ground. They wanted to reopen the ground.

But it was useless!

Then, the secret guards of the two sides got hostile to each other!

Because they suspected that the other party was playing tricks and caused their master to fall!

As a result, they started a fight. Three people on each side started to fight. The fight did not stop until Shadow 17 and Tian Yushu’s guard captain who was sent to follow Shadow 17 to come back.

Then, both Shadow 17 and Tian Yushu’s guard captain were shocked by what had happened. After listening to the stories from both sides, they started to search for any traps in place. However, they had almost cut all the trees and couldn't find anything.

Shadow 17 and Tian Yushu’s Eagle Six decided to go back to ask for help. The rest of them stayed here, lest the other side played tricks!

Mo Yanzhi was mortified when he received the news that Han Tingxuan had disappeared.

When Mo Yanzhi received the news, Tian Yuexi also received the news. His first guess was that this was Tian Yushu's conspiracy.

Thus, Tian Yuexi was enraged. However, his anger did not hinder him from giving out orders. He sent out secret guards to find out if it was Tian Yushu's conspiracy, and then sent out a large number of bodyguards to get into the mountain.

After Tian Yuexi calmed down, he didn’t think Tian Yushu could not be so stupid. Everybody knew he brought Han Tingxuan to the mountain. If he meant to kill Han Tingxuan there, it would be so obvious.

Furthermore, the wheeled plow had already succeeded. What was the use of killing Han Tingxuan? Killing Mo Yanzhi would be a better choice because Mo Yanzhi was Prince Chen, the noble prince, and the only prince. Hang Tingxuan might not be the only Prince Chen’s husband.

Prince Chen’s husband could be any he-man but there was only one Prince Chen.

Could it be someone else? But is that possible? Tian Yushu being trapped?

Tian Yuexi couldn’t figure out why no matter how he tried. In the end, he could barely stay in the imperial study.

But he couldn't leave! Prince Chen’s husband and Prince Xian missing together was a huge event! If he left, the officials would have no one to report to.

Mo Yanzhi and the four shadow guards led by Shadow Seven quickly rushed to the mountain.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan finally managed to crawl to the edge of the big tree. He finally could reach the tree.

"Whoo…" Han Tingxuan gasped from exhaustion.

Tian Yushu didn't look easy either. His face was covered in sweat as he casually wiped with his sleeves.

Han Tingxuan rested for ten minutes. He frowned.

"I can slowly slide down the trunk. What about you?"

Tian Yushu didn't say anything.

Han Tingxuan said tentatively, "Uncle, you really can't move your feet. You can't lie!"

Tian Yushu looked at him with a faint smile. "I wish I am lying to you. But in fact, I really can't move."

"But just now, I saw you meditating cross-legged," said Han Tingxuan.

Tian Yushu smiled. "But I can't move after you pushed me."

Han Tingxuan was speechless. "Haha, I... I didn't mean to hurt you. It was self-defense because you grabbed me.”

Tian Yushu smiled and said, "You carry me on your back. I can't move my feet, but my arms are very strong. My arms can go around your neck and grab the trunk. We can slide down together."

Han Tingxuan asked. "Is there any other way?"

It must be exhausting to carry a person on his back sliding down a tree.

Tian Yushu smiled. "Do you have other ways? What are they?"

Yes, in my way, I will throw you down and kill you. Han Tingxuan thought to himself.

In the end, after five minutes of negotiation, Han Tingxuan finally said, "Fine. Let’s go.”

Han Tingxuan was unwilling to carry Tian Yushu on his back.

He carefully moved over and support Tian Yushu's feet on the net, although his feet could not stand on themselves.

Then, Han Tingxuan carefully crawled over the net and reached the other side of the tree. Tian Yushu's arms were powerful as he claimed. He put his arms around Han Tingxuan's neck and grabbed onto the trunk. Fortunately, this tree was very tall but not too thick. In addition, Tian Yuluo's arms were really powerful. His grips were steady.

Then, Han Tingxuan started to slide down.

The idea of dropping Tian Yushu to death came across his mind again and again. If he did that, would Tian Yushu drag him down along with him? Look at Tian Yushu’s powerful grips who could leave a mark on the tree, Han Tingxuan put aside the idea.

In the face of mutual interests, the enemy could also become temporary allies!

He could use Tian Yushu as a shield if they were in greater danger later.

With that thought, Han Tingxuan slipped even more cautiously down. A distance of more than 30 meters was hard.

Han Tingxuan slipped for a long time and felt that the inner part of his thigh and palms were about to be ground by the tree. Finally, they hit the ground.

Han Tingxuan jumped and threw Tian Yushu off “accidentally”.

Tian Yushu sat on the ground with both hands supporting him.

Han Tingxuan narrowed his eyes. Tian Yushu used his hands just now. So it was true that he could not use his feet?

Was this a good or bad thing for him?

Forget it. They could be allies for now.
