Chapter 1415 Want to put up a sign

Mingrui pretended not to hear Shangguan Liu's words and continued running into the dense forest until Shangguan Liu fell to the ground. Mingrui then sat down on the ground. He had already reached his limit by running with someone in his arms.

Shangguan Liu's throat was burning with pain. He lay on the ground motionless. Only the rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive. Sweat stung the wound on his cheek. It hurt so much that he no longer had the strength to raise his hand to wipe it.

Mingrui paused for a while, then tilted his ears to listen to the sounds in the dense forest. He knew he couldn't stay here for long, so he helped Shangguan Liu up with some strength and walked inside step by step.

The assassin at the back took care of the guards, and there were only a few left, most of whom were seriously injured. The assassin endured the serious injuries and stood in the dense forest, disoriented, and cursed under his breath, "Isn't the prince's physical strength too good?"

Mingrui finally found an empty mountain and water. Thanks to the heavy rain in the past few days, there was plenty of water in the mountain streams. He took off his torn coat, went to the stream and carefully wiped his cheeks, which were painful. After washing them clean, he found a clean water and drank a few sips.

By the time he had tidied himself, Shangguan Liu had calmed down a bit. Mingrui found a larger leaf, filled it with water and delivered it to Shangguan Liu.

Shangguan Liu drank a few sips of water before he felt alive. "Shall we take a rest here?"

Mingrui stood up and said, "I'll take a break, but I won't stay here."

He had only seen this one water source along the way. There were many wolves and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and who knew if they would come here to drink water. He had to find some herbs and treat the wound on his face.

Soon, Mingrui found some anti-inflammatory herbs, crushed them and applied them on Shangguan Liu's face, and then applied the medicine to Shangguan Liu.

Shangguan Liu was surprised, "You know all this?"

"My grandma likes to read medical books. When I accompany her, I will read some of them."

Shangguan Liu felt much more comfortable on his face. Mingrui signaled Shangguan Liu to take a rest while he went to get some bamboo to fill with water. No matter how tired he was from running away, he did not drop the dagger in his hand as it had consumed too much energy in the mountains and forests.

Shangguan Liu watched Zhou Mingrui busying himself and felt that he was a waste. He laughed again. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

The situation at that time was that the prince was dead, and if any of them survived, they would also be doomed to die, and their families might also be implicated. The only way they could survive was to protect the prince and keep him alive.

Shangguan Liu smiled softly, it felt so good to be alive. As long as he could return alive, no matter how many women the prince had in the future, considering his contribution in protecting him, his sister's position would be as stable as Mount Tai.

In the capital, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works received the money and drank almost a pot of tea, but he just sat there and refused to leave.

Zhou Shuren, "Is the Ministry of Industry not busy?"

The Minister of Industry choked back the words he had managed to organize. "Well, I."

Zhou Shuren pointed to his own table and said, "You are not busy, I am busy. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. I don't have time to continue entertaining you."

The Minister of Industry cleared his throat and said, "I told you not to get angry."

"Um?"

The Minister of Industry coughed and asked, "What do you think of my grandson?"

Zhou Shuren pointed at the door without saying a word, but his meaning was obvious: bah, he must be crazy to marry his granddaughter to someone else.

The Minister of Industry touched his nose and said, "My grandson."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Do you really think that anyone can promote it? The Liu family has a clean family background, there is rarely any dirt in the backyard, and the family tradition is very upright. The family of the Minister of Works, haha, even a mess is highly praised!

The Minister of Industry moved slowly, "You really don't want to consider it?"

"If you still want to come in, shut up."

Don't let him put up a sign at the door of the Household Department!

The Minister of Works shut up and sighed. It is said that a good wife brings benefits to three generations, but he himself did not mention it. He did not choose a good daughter-in-law, and this granddaughter-in-law has a good candidate, but people look down on their family!

Huizhou, as time went by, the soldiers guarding the city found the bodies of the guards and assassins, but had not seen Shangguan and Master Zhou.

The guards who accompanied the prince out of the capital looked at their dead companions with grief, but were also glad that they had not found the bodies of the two princes. They said to the soldiers guarding the city, "From the traces, it seems that the two princes fled into the forest. We should go into the mountains to look for them."

The prince's order was to see the person alive or dead.

In the forest, Mingrui supported Shangguan Liu, "You were very decisive at that time."

Shangguan Liu, "My height is similar to the prince's, so I am the most suitable person to play the prince."

Mingrui followed Shangguan Liu not out of impulse. He considered many things in an instant and decided that following Shangguan Liu was the best choice for the Zhou family and him.

At that time, the guards had already shouted for escort, and the assassin rushed towards Shangguan Liu. He didn't have to follow, but he followed anyway. To be rich and powerful, one must be careful and take risks. He was really like his father, with some madness in his bones.

This time, as long as he could return alive, the credit would not go to him but to his father. Mingrui felt much lighter and he felt strong again.

Shangguan Liu felt Mingrui's change. They were the children who carried the family on their backs. The family gave them honor, and they also had to carry the family on their backs to move forward.

Shangguan Liu looked up at the sky, "We will get out alive, right?"

"right."

Shangguan Liu asked again: "How come you are so good at fighting?"

She seems weak and timid, so why is her martial arts so good?

Mingrui smiled, "My grandfather said that without a healthy body, one cannot survive the imperial examinations, so the boys in our family have been practicing martial arts since they were young to strengthen their bodies."

Ever since my fourth uncle and my younger uncle were assassinated, my family has paid more attention to martial arts training.

Shangguan Liu, "......"

How terrible! He is obviously a civil servant!

The two had to find a place to hide before dark, and they were hungry. They only ate a few wild fruits along the way, which were very unpalatable.

It was dark, and the Zhou family in Beijing had finished dinner. Zhulan talked about the marriage with the Liu family. "It's been so long, and the Liu family has shown enough sincerity. It's not good for our family to keep holding it up. I'll let Changyi and his wife tell the Liu family about our intentions and think about choosing a day to meet and discuss it."

Zhou Shuren, "It's OK as long as you know the number. By the way, I remember you said that the old lady of the Liu family died a long time ago."

Zhu Lan nodded, "Now the Liu family is headed by Guo. Old Master Liu is still alive so the family has not been divided, but the properties allocated to each branch have been divided."

Zhou Shuren compared the Liu family with the Ministry of Industry's family. One was in heaven and the other was in hell. He was more satisfied with the Liu family. "Yudie will be more comfortable when she marries there in the future."

Zhu Lan also laughed, "Liu Yuanbo is not the eldest son, so he does not have the responsibilities of the eldest son. The eldest son of the Liu family is very outstanding. Yu Diezhen will have a good mother-in-law when she marries into the Liu family, and she has no responsibilities, so her life will not be bad."

Zhou Shuren also smiled. As for his lively third granddaughter, Zhou Shuren was also worried about the girl's marriage.

Zhulan, "If someone comes to you to talk about marriage, just turn it down. Yuyi and Yuwen are not in a hurry."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "I know what I'm doing."

Now everyone believes that the daughters of the Zhou family can bring good luck to their husbands. It’s a headache to think about it. This reputation has advantages and disadvantages as well. Everything has two sides and we really need to cool down.
