Because Li Zhiyin allocated two female soldiers to Li Mumu, Li Mumu did not let Mrs. Shang give them to them again.

However, Li Mumu also had another purpose in finding Mrs. Shang, which was to let General Shang know that she was going to find Gu Shangqing through Mrs. Shang.

Sure enough, the day after she contacted Mrs. Shang, General Shang asked Mrs. Shang to leave a message for her.

Li Mumu hurriedly took Gu Mian to Shang Mansion.

Now that Gu Zhai has more servants, Gu Mian no longer needs to do those tasks.

But Gu Mian has been living with the Gu family for a long time. When there were few servants, Gu Mian was the one doing all the work.

Gu Mian was diligent and loyal, and never cheated or cheated. Now that there were more servants, Gu Mian was promoted to be the eldest maid next to Li Mumu.

Li Mumu also likes to take Gu Mian with her when she goes out.

Gu Mian was obedient and told her to do things well without asking too many questions.

Going to see Mrs. Shang, Li Mumu asked Gu Mian to wait outside.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shang said: "This time I sent a message to ask you to come over, not because I want to see you, but because the general wants to see you. It is not convenient for the general to go to you directly at the moment, so I am the intermediary and asks you to come over." trip."

Li Mumu nodded and said, "But the general has news about my husband?"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Shang walked out of the inner room.

General Shang shook his head and said, "It has been more than a month since I received any news from Ze Ming."

"I made an agreement with Zeming to use the military's secret communication method to transmit the situation on his side in a timely manner, so that I can know his safety." General Shang explained, "Because it is using the military's special channel, so It is not convenient for him to use that channel to send letters home."

"In addition, this matter was ordered by the saint in private. I dare not go to you rashly for fear of making the saint displeased." General Shang said, "This obviously involves great danger. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement." One thing. I don’t have to let his credit be compromised just because I couldn’t keep my composure.”

Li Mumu nodded, "I understand."

"It's been more than a month now, and I haven't received any news from Ze Ming. Especially now that things should have come to an end. If everything goes well, he should have returned to Daxi, and it's time for him to give me a message. But so far No."

Li Mumu said: "He also agreed with me that he will come back in two months and ten days. If he has not come back by then, then..."

"He told me not to wait any longer." Li Mumu said.

"But I don't believe it. Just like last time, everyone in the village said that he died in the battle, but he was fine and came back well?" Li Mumu said, "So this time, no matter what others say, I didn't see it with my own eyes. His corpse will not be believed.”

"Even if I can't enter the Turks, I will still inquire carefully at the border." Li Mumu said.

"That's why I came to you." General Shang said, "I have a duty and cannot leave the capital without authorization. The most trusted people, besides Ze Ming, are Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao. But they cannot leave the capital without authorization. Leave Beijing."

"When you go to the border, the saint must know what you are going to do. But no matter what, you have a reason to go to the border to see the errand shops and freight stores. Even if the saint guesses what you are going to do, there is no problem. ." General Shang said.

"I asked Li Mingyu to follow you." General Shang said loudly, "Mingyu, come in."

Then, Li Mumu saw a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old walking in wearing a short game outfit.

"General, Madam, Madam Gu." Li Mingyu saluted.

The young man is handsome and fair. "This is Li Mingyu." General Shang introduced to Li Mumu, "His father was originally my deputy general, but he later died in the battle..."

"Mingyu has followed me. His kung fu is top-notch, and he is still new. He is young and has not left his name in front of others." General Shang said, "And he is loyal. He will protect you all the way."

"I know you borrowed two female soldiers from Miss Li, but sometimes, it is more convenient for men to enter and leave certain places." General Shang said, "Let Mingyu follow you. He is good at martial arts, so I can rest assured."

Li Mumu knew that General Shang still meant that if anything happened, Li Mingyu could contact General Shang in time.

But no matter what, it is always a good thing to have Li Mingyu following.

The reason why Li Mumu contacted Mrs. Shang was to get some information from General Shang.

Although General Shang didn't give much information today, her goal was achieved.

I also gained one more Li Mingyu.

Li Mumu thanked General Shang, "Thank you, General Shang."

Then he said to Li Mingyu: "I will rely on little brother Li on this journey."

"Madam, you're welcome, just call me Mingyu." Li Mingyu cupped her fists and said, "I will do my best to protect my wife."

"When does Mrs. Gu plan to leave?" General Shang asked.

"We still need to prepare some things and set off the day after tomorrow." Li Mumu said. She has been preparing for the past few days. She will make the final preparations tomorrow and set off as early as possible.

However, General Shang did not expect that the preparation Li Mumu mentioned would actually close the fried chicken restaurant.

The day before Li Mumu's departure, customers who went to buy fried chicken early found that the fried chicken restaurant was not open.

There is also a sign on the door saying that the business is temporarily closed and the resumption time has not yet been determined.

"What's going on? Why is the business closed?" A customer who came to buy fried chicken asked in confusion.

The store was not open, but the shopkeeper was left to explain.

"Our owner has important things to do, and we have no time to take care of the fried chicken shop now. In order to ensure that the quality of the fried chicken shop will not decline, we can only suspend operations." The shopkeeper explained.

"No, your boss is busy with her business, so it won't delay the operation of the fried chicken restaurant, right? Your boss doesn't come here usually anyway." The customer said, "There are cooks and waiters in the store. Even if your boss is not here, it won't delay it." It’s open for business.”

"It's like this. Our boss's affairs are very important and we are short of manpower. We have temporarily dispatched the clerks in the store to do other things. Now there is no manpower in the fried chicken shop, so we can only close it temporarily. When our boss comes back from work, we will We will reopen, don’t worry.”

"Then when will your boss come back and when will your store reopen?" another customer asked.

"This..." the shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't know. Our boss didn't say anything. He only said that it would be troublesome to go here. If you are lucky, you will come back sooner. If you are not lucky... I don’t know when I will come back.”

"You...could it be that your boss won't come back in March or May, or even in three to five years, and your store won't open in three to five years?" A customer asked incredulously.

The shopkeeper cupped his hands and said, "It's definitely impossible not to come back in three to five years. Please rest assured, March and May... it's really hard to say. I'm really sorry."
