"But I didn't know that. I just wanted to save people." Zhang Yingzi cried, "But those people thought I was a bad person. Now you say that to me too."

　　Old Man Zhang couldn't bear to see her crying like this, so he stopped talking. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I know you are a good child and you won't think about those things."

　　Su Mei returned to the inn and told Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing about Zhang Yingzi's behavior on the road and Old Man Zhang's reaction after seeing him.

　　"I think Old Man Zhang is indeed a simple man." Su Mei said, "I heard that you, Madam, prepared a thank-you gift for Miss Zhang, and that you and Madam would go to thank the general when his injury gets better in a few days. Old Man Zhang was quite at a loss and felt embarrassed."

　　Li Mumu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest."

　　"Yes." Su Mei smiled and left first.

　　Gu Shangqing was recuperating in the inn.

　　Seeing that Gu Shangqing was not seriously injured, Pan Lunchi decided to return to the capital to report, leaving Doctor Lu here to accompany him and follow up on Gu Shangqing's injuries.

　　Gu Shangqing almost lost contact with Li Mumu, so he was extra clingy these past few days.

　　If he couldn't see Li Mumu for a while, he would start asking where Li Mumu had gone and want to go look for Li Mumu.

　　When Pan Lunchi left, he left some eunuchs here, including his young apprentice, Eunuch Hu, who was also left behind.

　　On the one hand, in order to show his importance, he even kept his little apprentice, which shows his care for Gu Shangqing.

　　On the other hand, Pan Lunchi also wanted to give his young apprentice a chance to get closer to Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing.

　　The main reason is that Pan Lunchi firmly believes that Li Mumu has a bright future and will achieve great things in the future, including Gu Shangqing.

　　This time, Gu Shangqing successfully completed the task given by the saint and came back alive. The saint will definitely reward him.

　　Moreover, when Su Zhier really misleads the Turks and causes losses to the Turks, the impact of Gu Shangqing's mission this time will be immeasurable.

　　Gu Shangqing's contribution is enormous.

　　As long as Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu do not make any mistakes, they will be regarded as memorable ministers in the eyes of the saint based on their achievements this time.

　　Good days are yet to come.

　　Therefore, Pan Lunchi is very optimistic about Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.

　　As the parties involved, Gu Shangqing and

　　Li Mumu didn't know that Pan Lunchi was so optimistic about them.

　　Now the legend has spread in the inn that Gu Shangqing is particularly attached to Li Mumu.

　　Zhao Zhengxiang couldn't stay here for long and had to go back to the military camp.

　　Before leaving, he whispered to Su Mei, "Seeing that General Gu is so clingy to Madam Gu, I feel relieved."

　　Just because of Gu Shangqing's clingy attitude towards Li Mumu, he doesn't have to worry that Gu Shangqing has time to fall in love with someone else.

　　Gu Shangqing would look for Li Mumu as soon as he couldn't see her. He spent almost all of the day with Li Mumu, so he didn't have time to think about other girls.

　　He also heard from Li Mingyu that when Gu Shangqing was in the capital, he spent most of his time in the army.

　　It was a rare opportunity to take a day off, so I hurried home and didn't do anything else.

　　Among his colleagues in the army, he only had good relations with three or two of them, and he never went out drinking with them.

　　On the contrary, his two colleagues who had a very good relationship with him went back to the Gu family with him when they had a day off, and they treated each other like family members.

　　It seems that Gu Shangqing really has no time to think about other women.

　　Su Mei found it interesting. General Zhao was truly a warm-hearted person.

　　Even though this was the first time he met Li Mumu, he was so worried about her that he wanted to see that Gu Shangqing was truly devoted to Li Mumu before he could leave with peace of mind.

　　There are really not many men who can think this way nowadays.

　　After seeing Zhao Zhengxiang off, some time passed and although Gu Shangqing's injuries had not healed, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

　　He immediately went to Old Man Zhang's house with Li Mumu and took the thank-you gift.

　　The carriage that Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing rode in was not luxurious; it was just a carriage rented from the post station.

　　But when it arrived at Old Man Zhang's house, it still attracted the attention of the villagers.

　　"General Gu and Madam Gu are here to express their gratitude, right?"

　　"I don't know what thank-you gift I brought this time."

　　"I heard that last time, just to thank Zhang Yingzi for her help, she gave her a lot of good things."

　　"I think from now on, Old Man Zhang and his family will have to move away!"

　　"The money given to them is enough for them to spend even if they do nothing for the rest of their lives." Someone said with envy and jealousy.

　　Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing got off the carriage. Eunuch Hu went to the gate of Old Man Zhang's house first and shouted across the fence, "Old Man Zhang, you

　　Are you home?

　　"Coming, coming." Old man Zhang's voice came from the house.

　　After a while, Old Man Zhang ran out of the house in a hurry. When he saw the scene at the door, he thought of who had come.

　　When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.

　　On the day Li Mumu picked up Gu Shangqing and left, Gu Shangqing was still in a coma, his face was pale and his body was thin.

　　But now, Gu Shangqing is in better health.

　　His complexion has improved and he is stronger than when he was here before.

　　He indeed looked more handsome than before, and he didn't seem to be an ordinary person.

　　"General Gu, Madam Gu." Old man Zhang opened the door quickly, "Please come in."

　　"The girl next to Madam Gu said that she would come with Madam Gu when General Gu's injury gets better." Old Man Zhang said with a smile, "I didn't expect to see General Gu so soon."

　　"Is General Gu's injury healed?" asked Old Man Zhang.

　　Gu Shangqing smiled gratefully and said, "Although it's not healed yet, you can get out of bed and move around. You have to move around so that your injuries can heal faster."

　　Old Man Zhang said with guilt: "General Gu was originally at my house, and his injuries had not healed. Not long after he left, his complexion and health had obviously improved. It was really us who delayed General Gu."

　　"Don't say that, Old Man Zhang." Gu Shangqing said hurriedly, "If it weren't for Old Man Zhang, I would have been left dead in the wilderness, without even a chance to get better."

　　"General Gu and Madam Gu are both good people." Old Man Zhang said, "Please come in."

　　Old man Zhang hurriedly invited Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu in.

　　The others were waiting at the door.

　　After entering the house, Old Man Zhang said a little awkwardly, "My humble abode is simple, but I just cleaned it today, so everything is clean. Please take a seat, both of you."

　　"Don't be so polite, old man." Gu Shangqing said hurriedly.

　　He sat down with Li Mumu, and Li Mumu said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of me. I am also a peasant girl. My family originally lived in a village on the border. Our lives are exactly the same as yours. I never thought that you would look down on our lives now."

　　"Yes." Gu Shangqing nodded, "Now I feel familiar with it, as if I have returned to the old days."

　　Although life is a little poorer and the home is a little simple, it is still warm in a way.
