"In this case, it would be unfair for anyone to go. Would it be fair if you go, General?" Gu Shangqing said.

  "Yes, it's not fair. But how long have you been married? You don't even have a child." General Shang said, "It's impossible that if something really happens, you won't even have a successor."

  Gu Shangqing shook his head. "If the general says so, what will happen to your two children without your support?"

  "At least I have no children, so even if something really happens, it won't drag down my wife." Gu Shangqing sighed, "Besides... General, the Saint just now obviously wanted me to stand up."

  "When you spoke, the Saint's expression did not change, and he did not seem very happy." Gu Shangqing said, "Besides, I was the one who captured Alp alive this time. Compared to you, Bagatur now regards me as a thorn in his side."

  "Like this time when the Turkic delegation came to Beijing, they had already found out everything about the Gu family, and they had also tried to test the Gu family's snacks many times." Gu Shangqing said, "If I went to the Turks, they would know as soon as I moved."

  "I think the saint thinks so too, so he wants me to go." Gu Shangqing smiled bitterly, "Actually, why would I want to go?"

  "It's dangerous to go there. If you're not careful, you won't be able to come back. I... can't bear to leave my family and my wife." Gu Shangqing gritted his teeth and said, "When I joined the army, I had never even met my wife."

  "My wife doesn't understand me, and doesn't trust me." Gu Shangqing said, "After I came back, it took me a long time to win her trust. Just when our relationship was progressing rapidly, I suddenly..."

  If he died, it would be good if Li Mumu was willing to accept someone else.

  Although he felt sad and reluctant, as long as Li Mumu could be happy, there was nothing he could not accept.

  But Li Mumu's personality is such that she doesn't trust others easily, especially men.

  Gu Shangqing discovered that Li Mumu seemed to think that men were unreliable, and accepting him was like taking a huge gamble, so she decided to believe him this time.

  Li Mumu might not be able to accept others easily.

  It's not that she can't live without a man. In fact, Gu Shangqing always feels that Li Mumu actually prefers to be alone.

  So he was flattered that she accepted him.

  I became even more reluctant to leave.

  "On this trip, I only hope that I can

  Come back safely." Gu Shangqing took a deep breath, "I must come back safely."

  General Shang was silent for a long time before he said, "Fortunately, you don't have to leave right away. You can stay at home for a few days. In the days before departure, you don't have to go to the military camp. Stay at home and spend more time with your family."

  I don't know how likely it is that Gu Shangqing will return safely from this trip.

  General Shang sighed silently, hoping only that Gu Shangqing could return safely.

  For the first time, he hoped that Su Zhier really had the ability to predict the future.

  At least it means that Gu Shangqing can come back alive and have a chance to become a general in the future.

  Gu Shangqing returned home, still thinking about how to tell this matter to his family.

  After dinner in the evening, Gu Shangqing said, "I'm going to leave in a few days. I have nothing to do these days, so I'll stay at home and not go anywhere."

  "Where are you going and what are you going to do?" Gu's mother asked immediately.

  Gu Shangqing smiled and said, "It was a task assigned to me by the military. I can't tell you the details."

  "This... allows you to stay at home without going to the military camp. Isn't it a difficult task?" Mother Gu subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

  It must be dangerous, right?

  This posture seemed to be asking Gu Shangqing to cherish the last chance to reunite with his family.

  "Mom, don't think too much." Gu Shangqing said, "We were very busy with the Turkic delegation the day before yesterday and didn't have much time to go home. After finally sending the Turkic delegation away, I received another mission and had to leave. General Shang felt that I would not be able to go home for a long time, so he specially asked me to rest at home before leaving."

  Only then did Mother Gu nod her head in relief, but she did not notice that Gu Shangqing never said from beginning to end that this mission was not dangerous.

  When Li Mumu heard Gu Shangqing's words, she lowered her head and her heart sank.

  It was not until the two of them returned to the room that Li Mumu asked, "Tell me the truth, what is the mission?"

  "Even if you can't tell me too much detail, you can at least tell me where you are going, right? If you can't even tell me that, don't tell me this mission is not dangerous." Li Mumu said in a deep voice.

  Gu Shangqing was silent for a while, then said, "Even going to the battlefield is dangerous."

  "How does this time compare to the last battlefield?" Li Mumu asked again.

  Gu Shangqing fell silent again.

  "That would be more dangerous than going to the battlefield."

  Li Mumu's hands were cold. "What are you going to do? You can't just pick up what you can say. Have you told me?"

  "I'm not someone who would be useless even if you ask me." Li Mumu said, "Don't forget, I have errand shops and freight shops all over the place."

  "It might be useful at a critical moment. If you are really in danger, you can find those shops. If you need to pass on some message, but you are being watched closely and can't pass it on, errand shops and freight shops can also be a way to pass it on."

  Li Mumu stood up and paced around the room. "If you really can't tell me, that's okay. Just remember that there are errand shops and freight shops. Maybe they can help you when you need them."

  Li Mumu took out a brand from the cabinet and said, "This is my brand. All errand shops and freight shops will recognize this."

  "Keep it, just in case it comes in handy." Li Mumu said, "I'll take advantage of the time these days to tell all the errand shops in various places that as long as someone goes with my sign, I'll do my best to help."

  Gu Shangqing was still thinking about how to talk to Li Mumu.

  It's not that I don't trust Li Mumu, it's just that I really can't say too much.

  Li Mumu suddenly stopped and said, "I heard that the Dali Temple lost Su Zhier."

  Gu Shangqing: "..."

  Li Mumu is very well-informed now.

  In addition to Li Zhiyin and Mrs. Shang, the errand shops are all very useful sources of information for Li Mumu.

  The errand boy delivered things to wealthy families, who might be the family of some high-ranking official or noble.

  It is inevitable that servants in the house will hear some things.

  Sometimes when you get familiar with your fellows, it's common to chat with them and reveal a few words.

  Seeing Gu Shangqing's reaction, Li Mumu asked, "Are you going to look for Su Zhier?"

  Gu Shangqing: "..."

  "Can't say?" Li Mumu thought for a moment and said, "Then you don't need to say it. If I'm right, you don't need to refute it, just acknowledge it. If I'm wrong, you can say I'm wrong."

  Gu Shangqing: "..."

  Gu Shangqing acquiesced and said, "During their stay in the capital, the Turkic delegation was too quiet and too honest. Except for the time they came to Gu's snack bar at the beginning, they wanted to make trouble but never found a chance to do so. After that, they were so quiet that it was strange."
