Qi Qi: "..."
“I have a general idea of the location of the city defense map. I will go and check it out tonight. You go back to the restaurant now to pack your things and leave the city with Mr. Gao and the others at dawn. I will come to find you later.”
Qi Qi smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "General, I wish you a successful start and all your wishes come true."
Gu Siyan found it amusing: "Thank you for your kind words."
He rode away in a carriage, and Qi Qi had to leave too. There were still ten taels of silver in his pocket, pocket money given to him by Gu Siyan.
Around 5 p.m., Qi Qi put on the curtain and came out of the room. Mr. Gao came to ask him where he was going.
Qi Qi said, "Sir, I suddenly remembered that I ordered a hairpin from a silver shop when I was strolling around with the general a couple of days ago, and I'm going to pick it up today."
Mr. Gao was still busy packing his things when he thought for a moment and said, "How about we just forget about it and leave tonight, so we can save time."
Qi Qi looked disapproving: "That was bought with money, sir. How can you just say you don't want it? I have nothing to do in my room. The shop isn't far. I'll be right back."
Mr. Gao had no choice but to say, "Alright, go find Aunt Chen to take you there."
Qi Qi: "No need, I'm enough on my own."
Mr. Gao: "It's not safe outside, but Aunt Chen is very skilled."
Qi Qi had no choice but to agree.
As soon as he stepped outside, Qi Qi started walking towards the City Lord's Mansion. After walking for a while, Qi Qi suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "It's over!"
Aunt Chen was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Qi Qi said awkwardly, "Auntie, I made it in time. I forgot my purse under my pillow in the room..."
Chen Danian honestly asked, "I still have two taels of silver here, is that enough?"
Qi Qi pursed his lips and looked at her pitifully: "Not enough..."
The old woman: "...Then?"
Qi Qi pointed to the silver shop a hundred meters ahead: "You're faster than me, could you go back and get the silver for me? I'll wait for you inside..."
"Auntie~"
After spending a few days together, the young man had a good personality and was always smiling. The kind-hearted Aunt Chen had a very good impression of Qi Qi. When she heard him call out, she said, "Alright, you go inside and wait for me. I'll be back in the time it takes to drink two cups of tea. Don't go out and look around. There are too many people and it's dangerous."
Qi Qi nodded obediently: "Okay."
Aunt Chen watched Qi Qi enter the jewelry store, and as soon as she left, Qi Qi immediately slipped out.
