"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Li Mumu said in a low voice.
At this moment, the Saint was waiting inside, so Pan Lunchi could not say much, so he could only say, "Madam, you are too polite. The Saint is waiting inside. I will go and tell you."
After saying this, Pan Lunchi entered the imperial study and said to the sage, "Sage, Li is here."
"Pass it on." said the saint.
Pan Lunchi went to bring Li Mumu in. The saint looked at Li Mumu and asked, "You came just like that?"
Li Mumu knelt down hurriedly and said, "It was my fault."
saint:"......"
What impoliteness? He was asking her why she came empty-handed and without any fried chicken?
"Do you know why I called you here?" asked the saint.
Li Mumu knelt down and asked, "I dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions."
"You woman are really cunning," the saint said unhappily.
These people said that they dared not guess the emperor's intentions, but they never stopped guessing in their hearts.
"I am guilty." Li Mumu said hurriedly.
"Tell me, what crime have you committed?" the saint asked again.
Li Mumu put her forehead to the ground and said, "The saint said that I am cunning, so I am guilty."
"You..." The saint was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Saint." Li Mumu said and stood up.
"Your Gu family fried chicken tastes really good. The Third Prince bought some for me to taste before." The Saint said, "Today I sent someone to buy some, but I didn't expect you to close the store."
"But why?" asked the saint.
Li Mumu said truthfully: "I am going to look for my husband."
Even the saints didn't expect that Li Mumu would be so honest.
He thought that Li Mumu would respond to him with what the owner of the fried chicken shop said.
Unexpectedly, Li Mumu didn't make any excuses and told the truth directly.
But it was consistent with his guess.
The sage thought with a hint of pride, As expected, I guessed it right.
"How are you going to find him?" the saint asked. "Do you know where he is?"
"My husband's trip is a secret, and he refused to tell me, but I guessed it. I told him and let me guess. If it is correct, he doesn't need to admit it." Li Mumu said.
saint:"......"
Li Mumu was indeed smart, she was able to guess, and the saint was not surprised at all.
"So I know that he went to Turkestan." Li Mumu said, "He went to Turkestan to create the illusion that Daxi cares about Su Zhier."
"It will be very difficult for him to go." Li Mumu said, "It will be more difficult than secretly bringing Su Zhier back."
"If he brings Su Zhier back, at least he can conceal his whereabouts as much as possible and prevent the Turks from finding out. He will still be a little safe." Li Mumu sighed, "But if he doesn't bring Su Zhier back, Su Zhier will continue to mislead the Turks and make them believe in Su Zhier. He must let the Turks know that he went there for Su Zhier."
"This means that he must take the initiative to expose his whereabouts and let the Turks chase him, while at the same time he must escape as much as possible to preserve his own safety." Li Mumu's heart ached when she thought of Gu Shangqing fleeing alone in the Turks.
"If he had successfully returned to Daxi, he would have sent a letter to report his safety. How come there is no news until now?" Li Mumu took a deep breath, "He can't contact his family. It can only be that he is still in Turkic and can't be contacted, or..."
"Even if he arrives in Daxi and is seriously injured, there will be no way to contact him." Li Mumu mentioned two possibilities, but she didn't mention the biggest possibility, that Gu Shangqing is already dead.
It seems that if I don't say anything, this won't happen.
If it were in the past, Li Mumu would not have worried, because Gu Shangqing was the male protagonist of the original novel, who eventually became a general and died of old age.
But now, Li Mumu no longer dares to rely on the results of the original work.
Now things have gone completely astray. Not only has Su Zhier lost the halo of the heroine, she has also been captured and taken to the Turks, completely deviating from the plot of the original novel.
Not only did Su Guangcheng fail to get promoted, he was also imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
Although he has been released, he will never be able to serve as an official again.
Mrs. Su had divorced him long ago, and the money he had embezzled was confiscated.
Now I am alone and poor.
The original plot is no longer of any reference, and the fate of Su Zhier and Su Guangcheng has been completely changed.
Even the fate of the original heroine has changed, so the fate of the hero Gu Shangqing is not so unbreakable and unchangeable.
So now Li Mumu has no confidence that Gu Shangqing will be safe and sound.
Li Mumu also
She once thought that if she had not traveled through time and space to change the original plot, Gu Shangqing would not be in trouble.
He will become a general without any danger along the way.
It was she who influenced Gu Shangqing, causing him to fall into such a difficult situation, with his life or death unknown.
So no matter what, she had to go and find Gu Shangqing.
Whether alive or dead, we must get it back.
The saints did not attack Li Mumu, because they all knew there was a third possibility.
"But what can you do if you go? Can you go to Turkic alone?" The saint said, "Gu Shangqing hasn't come back yet. If you go there again, you will only lose one more person."
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not take the risk of going to the Turks." Li Mumu said, "I plan to inquire about the news at the border now."
"I own an errand shop and a freight shop," Li Mumu said, "and both shops have expanded their business to the border."
"Nowadays, Daxi supports border trade." Li Mumu said, "Therefore, many Hu people come to the border to do business. They have a lot of information in their hands. Maybe we can get some news from them."
"Perhaps, we can ask them to help find out some things." Li Mumu said, "Of course, I won't ask them to find out about my husband directly, but I can ask them about the situation in the Turkic area. I think they should know a lot."
"Daxi must have spies who are responsible for finding out about the situation in the Turks, but they may not be able to penetrate deep into the Turks and find out very clearly. On the contrary, those Hu merchants travel around and many places will not be on guard against them, so they can know more things."
"Have you thought about all this when you opened your errand shop and your freight shop?" asked the saint.
Li Mumu quickly shook his head. Admitting in front of the king that he had a powerful intelligence network, wasn't this too much to live for?
"My original intention of opening the errand shop and the freight shop was just to make things convenient for the people." Li Mumu said, "Until I learned that my husband was going to the Turks, I only hated that I had no ability to help him."
"I have been thinking about how I can help my husband," Li Mumu said. "After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of errand shops and freight shops. The guys in the shops usually deliver goods to people and come into contact with many people. When the Hu people came to do business, they used to find ways to transport goods by themselves. If they really had no choice, they could only bring less things."
