Gu Shangqing was silent for a few moments, then looked at Li Mumu with red eyes, "Okay."

Knowing that Gu Shangqing would leave in a few days, Li Mumu did not feel tired of being pestered by Gu Shangqing, and she cooperated even when she was tired.

He even cooperated with Gu Shangqing to try many more bold and unrestrained methods.

Gu Shangqing hugged Li Mumu tightly and was about to set off at dawn.

Yuan Du has been mentally prepared.

But spending the past few days with Li Mumu, he became more and more sad and afraid of the coming of dawn.

He couldn't help but hug Li Mumu tighter.

Li Mumu couldn't sleep either. Gu Shangqing went to Turks alone. She couldn't do anything to help him. She was about to be thousands of miles away from him, and she wouldn't even receive any news from him.

In comparison, she would rather he lead the troops to go to war, at least go to the battlefield with open swords and guns, and have comrades to support him.

It was much better than being alone in Turks.

"Husband." Li Mumu hugged Gu Shangqing's waist tightly and pressed harder, "Come back safely, I will wait for you at home. If you are worried about me going to the Turks, don't let me go to the Turks to find you."

"Okay." Gu Shangqing lowered his head and kissed Li Mumu hard on the shoulder, "I will come back safely. You can wait for me at home and don't run around."

"Yes." Li Mumu responded in a hoarse voice, her shoulders numbed slightly by his kiss.

Li Mumu tilted her head and bit down hard on the side of his neck.

Until I heard Gu Shangqing finally hissing in pain, until I tasted the taste of blood like rust in my mouth.

"I don't know how long this tooth mark can stay." Li Mumu said, "If you want to take risks, just touch the tooth marks beforehand, take care of yourself, and remember not to take risks unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Okay." Gu Shangqing responded.

The two of them just hugged each other, talking wordlessly, and neither of them wanted to sleep.

"It's dawn." Gu Shangqing saw the change in the color of the windows, gradually turning from pitch black to bluish white.

The windows now were not made of glass like modern ones, but made of oil paper, so the light transmission was naturally not that good.

I can only barely distinguish one or two.

Gu Shangqing moved and was about to stand up, but was hugged hard by Li Mumu.

"Mumu..." Gu Shangqing shouted in a low voice.

Li Mumu sniffed, and finally the arms around Gu Shangqing's waist contracted inwardly before letting go of him.

Li Mumu lowered her head and rested her forehead on Gu Shangqing's chest, "I'm fine, get up."

Li Mumu stood up, and Gu Shangqing felt even more uncomfortable when he saw her like this.

After the two of them had packed up, Li Mumu saw that Gu Shangqing's expression was not very good, "You haven't slept all night, how can you make it on the road today?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Gu Shangqing said, "You don't have to worry. During the march, in order to prevent enemy attacks, we often take turns on duty at night. We often stay up all night, so it doesn't delay our energy during the day."

Li Mumu didn't say anything else. It was too late to say anything now.

His trip to the Turks did not happen overnight. I am afraid that starting from today, he will not be able to sleep well at night.

The two of them left the house, and the others had already gotten up.

Although they didn't know that Gu Shangqing was going to the Turks, they knew that Gu Shangqing was going out to perform a mission.

Although Gu Shangqing didn't say it was dangerous, everyone knew that there was nothing safe when going on a mission, so they all got up early to see Gu Shangqing off.

Li Mumu went to the kitchen and took out the food she had prepared early in the morning.

Not a big package.

It was okay in Daxi territory. Once he entered the Turks, Gu Shangqing had to travel lightly. The more things he brought, the more inconvenient he was. "Instant noodles still take up a bit of space. I baked steamed buns for you and dried beef." Li Mumu said.

"Yes." Gu Shangqing took the baggage.

"There is still some money here, just spend it on the way, don't wrong yourself." Li Mumu said, she lowered her voice again, "While you are in Daxi, eat and drink well while you can feel more comfortable. Take good care of yourself. Rest, once you enter... you won’t have these opportunities.”

"I secretly exchanged some Turkic coins for Hu merchants." Li Mumu said. Those Hu merchants not only came to Daxi to do business, they did business everywhere, and they had a lot of foreign currency in their hands.

Fortunately, Li Mumu's business is doing well now. He also introduced a large amount of spices from Hu merchants and got to know many Hu merchants.

"When you get there, you won't be able to use Daxi's silver. Even if you can exchange it on the black market, you would be too conspicuous if you exchange Daxi's silver for Turkic money despite your appearance as a Daxi person."

"So I tried my best to change some for you. Take these and change them if you can, so as not to expose yourself." Li Mumu said.

Gu Shangqing didn't expect Li Mumu to think so carefully.

He originally thought that when he reached the border, he would find a way to exchange for some Turkic money.

There is also a black market on the Daxi side of the border.

They had captured Turkic prisoners before and also collected some Turkic money from those people, but not much.

After all, no one brings money with them when they go to the battlefield.

At most, there are some scattered copper plates left in the clothes and forgotten to be taken out.

General Shang reluctantly scraped some for him, but it was really limited.

Although the black market on the Daxi border can be exchanged, it is also dangerous.

Especially since he was being watched by the Turks. The Turks had many informants on the border and received news quickly.

I'm afraid that the news that he went to the black market to exchange coins will soon reach Bagatul's ears.

Although one of the purposes of this trip is to make the Turks think that he went to the Turks for Su Zhi'er, he must let the Turks find out that he has entered the Turks.

But not that early.

The later the Turks find out, the safer it is for them.

Now that Li Mumu has exchanged these for him, he no longer has to take risks on the black market.

Gu Shangqing put these away solemnly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I won't take risks unless it is absolutely necessary."

Li Mumu nodded.

"Can you use the morning meal before leaving?" Li Mumu asked again.

"Okay." Gu Shangqing wanted to leave immediately.

But seeing Li Mumu's reluctant eyes, he couldn't go out.

Moreover, the sage didn’t say when he must set off, right?

Even if he leaves now, he still has to find a place to eat.

The previous exchanges between Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing were all in whispers.

But this sentence does not avoid family members.

After hearing this, Gu's mother hurriedly said: "Great, I'll go to the kitchen to cook the dumplings. We made them yesterday afternoon, and Mu Mu specially made them stuffed with mutton and green onions."

Gu Shangqing said with a smile: "I haven't eaten mutton properly since I came to the capital. I don't eat much mutton in the capital, and it's not as delicious as the one in Chong'an. The smell is too strong."

"Isn't there a freight store here? Mu Mu specially asked the freight store to transport live sheep from Chong'an and found a butcher shop to slaughter them." Gu's mother said, "It's guaranteed to be delicious."

"When you come back, I'll make you grilled lamb chops and hand meat." Li Mumu said.
