"Little Er!" Gu Qiqiao beckoned to the shopkeeper not far away. "Checkout."

"It's coming, it's coming." The shopkeeper ran to Gu Qiqiao in small steps, looked at the dishes on the table, and said. "Girl, a total of twenty-seven taels of silver."

Gu Qiqiao was taking out his purse for a moment, and looked at the shopkeeper like a ghost. "How much do you say?"

"Twenty-seven taels of silver." The shopkeeper knew that Gu Qiqiao felt that the price was unacceptable, so he pointed to the wine jug in Gu Yanran's hand. "The best in this girl's hand, twenty-three taels of silver a pot."

"Hiss......" Gu Qiqiao gasped and squeezed the shriveled purse in his hand.

Oops, she only has eleven taels of silver in her purse.

Seeing Gu Qiqiao's expression, the shopkeeper guessed that she didn't have enough money on her.

But looking at the clothes and manners of these two girls, you know that they are the children of rich and noble families, and they will definitely not do such a thing as eating an overlord meal.

"Look at the girl, she must not have enough money, right? The small shop happens to have a rule, which can temporarily relieve the girl's current troubles. ”

Gu Qiqiao asked. "What rules?"

"Collateral for silver." The shopkeeper gave Gu Qiqiao a detailed explanation. "There are two situations in which the collateral is credited to the silver, one is to pay for the same thing as the cost of the meal; The second is to pledge the valuables on his body, and wait for the return home to get the money and come back to exchange. ”

Gu Qiqiao couldn't make a choice, so he had to smile at the shopkeeper. "It's too troublesome to hold on to the collateral, you wait first, my sister-in-law has a silver ticket on her, I'll give it to you."

After that, Gu Qiqiao stretched out his clutches to Gu Yanran, who was drunk on the side.

She still remembered that Gu Yanran deliberately left five thousand taels of silver tickets in the Zhuang Mansion just now, which should have been in the ......

"Huh?" Gu Qiqiao touched two cold things at the placket of Gu Yanran's clothes, took them out and looked at them, and wondered. "I don't remember that Miss Yan has these two things, where did they come from?"

Gu Qiqiao didn't have time to think about it, and planned to continue rummaging through the silver tickets, so he casually put the teaching seal and jade seal he took from Gu Yanran on the table.

But I didn't realize it...... The shopkeeper next to him was so stunned that his eyes were about to fall out when he saw the white jade pendant.

But soon, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, and his originally easy-going attitude became a little restrained.

"Girl, don't look for it." The shopkeeper put one hand on his left shoulder and bowed to Gu Qiqiao. "Today's meal of thin wine was entertained by Qing Zuixuan, so it should be ...... It is to thank the two girls for their condescending presence. ”

Gu Qiqiao opened her red lips slightly, shocked by this kind of pie that was tantamount to falling from the sky. "That means we don't have to give silver?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper is the first to be fully considered by Gu Qiqiao and the others. "This girl, your sister-in-law is still drunk, so let the store send a carriage to send the two girls home, how about it?"

"Huh?" Gu Qiqiao didn't expect that the shopkeeper would be so thoughtful for them, and looked at Gu Yanran, who was drunk next to him, so he had no choice but to ask. "Then there is the second brother Lao."

"The girl is polite, please sit here for a while, and the little one will arrange the carriage." When the shopkeeper turned around, he couldn't help but remind Gu Qiqiao. "Girl, please remember to put away the valuables on the table, don't lose them."

Gu Qiqiao nodded and put the two things back on Gu Yanran.

……

……

In the back alley of Qing Zuixuan, a simple and unusual carriage was parked.

With the help of the shopkeeper, Gu Qiqiao finally placed Gu Yanran in the carriage.

"Huh......" Gu Qiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out of the carriage and thanked the shopkeeper. Thank you for your help. ”

"Where is the girl, this is what the little one should do." The shopkeeper bowed down again and introduced the driver next to him by the way. "This is the driver of the small shop, familiar with the streets and alleys of the Imperial City of Yeyu, the girl can tell him where he is going."

Gu Qiqiao looked at the coachman. "I'm tired of sending us to the back alley of the National Teacher's Mansion."

Since the National Teacher's Mansion and the new house are adjacent to each other, then the back alley of the new house and the National Teacher's Mansion must be the same.

## #国师府后巷

The carriage carrying Gu Yanran and Gu Qiqiao slowly stopped.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage and set up his footstool before heading into the carriage. "Two girls, it's time to get there."

"Okay." Gu Qiqiao answered the coachman's call, and then squatted beside Gu Yanran and called softly. "Miss Yan, Miss Yan, wake up."

Gu Yanran was sleeping soundly, and her head was still groggy after being woken up. "Well, don't make noise, it's a headache."

"You deserve a headache, who made you want to drink?" Gu Qiqiao pursed her lips and helped Gu Yanran up with all her might. "Let's get to the new house, let's get out of the carriage first."

"......" Gu Yanran didn't answer, just tried to support herself.

After a lot of effort, Gu Qiqiao finally helped Gu Yanran get out of the carriage.

The coachman put away the footstool and said goodbye to Gu Qiqiao and Gu Yanran. "Two girls, the younger one will leave first."

Gu Qiqiao watched the carriage drive away, and helped the weak Gu Yanran to sit under the shade of the tree at the root of the wall. "Miss Yan, you rest here first, and the slave maid will go to the back door of the new house first."

"Hmm." Gu Yanran leaned against the thick trunk of the tree and stroked her forehead with a faint pain. "Go ahead."

Gu Qiqiao straightened up, looked left and right, and found that there were only two vermilion wooden doors in this empty back alley.

One of them belonged to the National Teacher's Mansion, and the other must be the back door to the new mansion.

But there's a slightly trickier one.

Why are the outer walls of the two houses in front of them exactly the same style, color, and cast structure as the wooden doors?

If you don't look closely, you will clearly think that there is only one huge mansion here.

Gu Qiqiao took out the silver key at the back door of the new house that he kept for Gu Yanran in his arms, and muttered a little timidly. "I know which one is the new house when I try it, but if I try the wrong door...... Will it be dead? ”

Now, she regrets that she didn't ask which of the two mansions is the National Teacher's Mansion that she should stay away from...... Or should I say the Netherworld?

Yes, on the plaque at the front door of the National Teacher's Mansion, the three big characters 'Netherworld Mansion' are cast.

The origin of the name of the mansion is not only because the lord of the mansion is the night netherworld, but also has a deeper meaning.

The Netherworld Mansion is the mansion of the Night Netherworld, yes, but it is also the headquarters of the No. 1 killer organization of the Yeyu Kingdom, the 'Netherworld'.

The head office, the head office!

Since it is the head office, no matter day or night, there must be countless killers in the palace who are on guard in the corners.

If she just took the silver key to test the lock, would she lose her life before she even walked to her?

"I knew that it was better to take the girl back to the house, at least I could keep this life...... Alas. Gu Qiqiao sighed, then resigned himself to looking up at the door in the distance, and gritted his teeth. Die and die, it's you! ”
