Li Mumu only hoped that the questions she asked would be enough to allow them to avoid the enemy's traps.

Gu Shangqing came back faster than Li Mumu expected, even faster than mentioned in the original book.

According to the original novel, Gu Shangqing will not be able to come back for at least two months.

But now, Gu Shangqing came back so long in advance.

Moreover, he returned victoriously with a large army.

After entering Daxi, Gu Shangqing sent a letter in advance, telling them the date of his return.

So on the day the army returned, the Gu family went to the third floor of Wangyou's rest house to see.

The road where Wangyou Rest House is located is exactly the place where the army must pass when returning.

When Gu Shangqing passed by below, they could see him through the window of the room on the third floor of Wangyou Xiaojie.

Not only the Gu family came, but also Li Zhiyin, Mrs. Shang, Min Huilan, Zhang Qihui and Guo Liyan came.

Apart from Min Huilan, Li Zhiyin was because of General Li, and Madam Shang was naturally because of General Shang.

Zhang Qihui and Guo Liyan did it because of their fathers and brothers.

They all came, and Min Huilan, as their good friend, naturally came as well.

Fortunately, there are not many partitions on the third floor, and the entire floor is a rest area, which is very spacious.

So even though so many people came, it didn't seem crowded and was still very spacious.

"Where are they?" Mother Gu asked anxiously.

Although I already know that Gu Shangqing has returned safely, the closer he gets to coming back, the more anxious I become.

"I have sent people to wait at the city gate. Once they see him, they will come and tell us immediately." Li Zhiyin said softly, "It should be soon."

Mother Gu nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Li, please don't think I'm annoying. Shang Qing went to war once before, and everyone said he died in the battle. If it weren't for the children who kept supporting me, I wouldn't have been able to make it. Later, Shang Qing suddenly came home, which really gave me a huge surprise."

"Knowing that Shang Qing is safe this time, I really..." Mother Gu said excitedly.

"I understand." Li Zhiyin said, "In the past, my grandfather and I were always at the border. Even if I was by his side, I would still worry whenever he went to the battlefield. What's more, we are so far away from each other now, I am even more worried."

"I'm also worried about my grandfather, so I understand how you feel." Li Zhiyin said.

Madam Gu nodded, "It's not easy for you either. You have endured more than us.

Gu Shangqing had only been on the expedition twice, yet she was so worried.

General Li spent his entire life in military service.

Moreover, Mother Gu now understands Li Zhiyin's situation to some extent.

When Li Zhiyin was very young, he could be said to have depended on General Li for everything.

The father and the stepmother in the mansion cannot be relied upon at all.

At this time, the servant that Li Zhiyin had sent out to wait at the city gate came back panting. As soon as he reached the third floor, he hurriedly said, "I'm back! We should be entering the city by now!"

Everyone rushed to the window to look.

It's not visible now.

After waiting for a while, I saw a long line of people coming towards this side.

The warriors were wearing armor, and on both sides were the cheers of the people.

Gu Shangqing walked in front along with General Li, General Shang and others, riding a horse. He looked a little tired, but held his head high.

When Gu Shangqing was about to reach the window, Gu's mother couldn't help but shout, "Shangqing, Shangqing!"

Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping also helped to shout.

Li Mumu felt embarrassed, so she just watched from the side.

There was so much chaos all around that even if they shouted loudly, Gu Shangqing might not be able to hear them.

Li Mumu didn't know whether Gu Shangqing heard the shouting or looked up because he had just taken a nap.

When Gu Shangqing looked up, he saw his family on the third floor.

Gu Shangqing smiled and waved to them.

The Gu family members' eyes turned red with excitement. Li Mumu also waved at Gu Shangqing, and Gu Shangqing smiled even more brightly.

Seeing that Gu Shangqing was safe and sound, and didn't look like he was injured.

The Gu family was completely relieved and no longer anxious. They went home and waited peacefully.

After everyone went home, they waited until dark before Gu Shangqing came back.

"Are you injured this time?" Gu's mother asked hurriedly when she saw Gu Shangqing.

"There are only some superficial injuries, which will heal long ago." Gu Shangqing said.

"Have you had your meal yet?" Gu's mother asked again.

"I just had a little food to fill my stomach while in the army." Gu Shangqing said.

"Then eat more. Mumu has prepared dinner for you. I didn't know when you would come back, so she has kept it in the pot. You can eat it just by heating it up." Mother Gu hurriedly asked the cook to go to the kitchen to heat up dinner.

It was delivered soon.

Mother Gu is very good

He looked at Gu Shangqing for a long while before saying, "He's thinner and darker."

Gu Shangqing smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's a waste of time for me to come back, mother, please don't dislike me."

"Don't mind, don't mind. Even if you are dark, you are still a handsome boy." Mother Gu said with a smile, "After eating, take a rest. Now that you are back, you can finally have a good sleep."

"Are you going back to the barracks tomorrow?" asked Mother Gu.

"Rest at home tomorrow and go to the military camp the day after tomorrow." Gu Shangqing said.

"That's good. After dinner, go to bed early. You must not have gotten enough rest outside. We have a lot to talk about tomorrow." After Gu Shangqing came back, Gu's mother was no longer in a hurry.

After the meal, Gu Shangqing gave a brief talk about leading troops to fight.

The letter I sent back before was mainly to report my safety, and it was not very detailed, so this time I just said what I could.

I was completely relieved to hear that Gu Shangqing was safe and sound this time.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Li Mumu looked at Gu Shangqing for a long while in the room.

Gu Shangqing was so nervous that he changed several positions uncomfortably and asked Li Mumu, "What are you looking at, Madam?"

"Are you really not hurt? Did you say that on purpose to reassure your parents?" Li Mumu asked.

Gu Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be because of this matter. He said, "Minor injuries are inevitable, but they are indeed some flesh wounds."

Gu Shangqing took off his clothes and showed them to Li Mumu, "Look, there aren't many new injuries."

Li Mumu saw a new scar on his shoulder, another on his left arm, and another on his back.

But it has almost healed and now the pink flesh is exposed.

"These scars are not shallow." Li Mumu frowned and raised her hand but still didn't dare to touch it.

"It's not that deep actually." Gu Shangqing said, "Thanks to the medicine you brought me. Sometimes there are too many injured people and the doctors can't take care of them all. I have your medicine and I can recover faster with it."

"It's not that magical. I just went to the clinic to get the medicine." Li Mumu said, it should be similar to what he used in the army.

"Well, Madam, please clean up." Gu Shangqing left the room first.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I won't feel cold even if I go out.

Before Gu Shangqing left, Li Mumu made it clear to Gu Shangqing that she already regarded him as her real husband.

The hint was too obvious.
