Accidentally dressed as an empress

When Yunxiu woke up, Zhong Yi was still asleep. There was a knock on the door, and Yunxiu opened it to see Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing's gentle face was full of vigilance. She leaned over and whispered in Yunxiu's ear, "Master, there's a smell of incense in the room. This shop is a black market."

Yunxiu nodded and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's go downstairs."

"Su Da," Yun Xiu gave Su Da two ingots of silver, "take your men to buy some fodder and some dry food for the journey. We'll leave after lunch."

"Take Dr. Zhou with you. She also needs to go buy some more herbs."

"Yes, master."

Zhong Yi came downstairs and said, "Remember to buy some snacks for Ziqi."

Yunxiu saw him and asked, "Ayi, did you have a good rest last night?"

Zhong Yi replied, "Yeah, I slept a bit deeply."

Yunxiu took Zhong Yi's hand, stood in front of the counter, and said to the innkeeper, "Boss, check us out. We'll leave after noon."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Would you please stay a little longer, gentlemen?" the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"We are in a hurry to leave, please settle the bill for us."

The shopkeeper's expression turned cold. "A total of two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Thank you for your patronage."

Two hundred and fifty? It seemed like he was mocking her?

"It's just one night, why is it so expensive? Are you running a black market?"

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he immediately said with a smile, "Sir, please don't say that. You are eating and staying with us, and we have clearly marked prices. We are fair to everyone and we are definitely not a scam.

Our Zuiyue Inn is one of the best inns in Baili City. A superior room costs ten taels of silver per night, and you've booked four. Standard rooms cost two taels of silver per night, and you have over fifty people, so you've booked twenty-five. We've also used the stables, the warehouse, and all the fine wine and food..."

"Alright, alright," Yunxiu interrupted the chattering shopkeeper and looked at Su Er. "Su Er, go get the silver."

Su Er went to the backyard storehouse. After a while, Su Er came back and said hurriedly, "Master! This is bad! Our money has been exchanged for stones!"

"What's going on?" Yun Xiu was stunned and immediately looked at Su Er, "Have you checked everything? All the boxes?"

"We've checked all the boxes!" Su Er said anxiously, "They're all rocks!"

The shopkeeper glanced left and right, completely panicked.

Yunxiu shouted, "Close the door!"

The guards slammed the door shut with a bang, and the shopkeeper shuddered. Yunxiu pressed the sword in her hand against the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, you are really good! You are robbing me and now it's my fault!"

Yunxiu had a smile on her face, yet it was chilling. "You used aphrodisiac on us last night, embezzled our caravan's silver, and replaced it all with stones, right?!"

Upon hearing this, all the guards drew their shining swords.

The shopkeeper stood there in shock. "Sir, you are confusing right and wrong and slandering me! No, no, no...forcing me to do anything!"

Yunxiu shouted, "Guards, capture her!"

The shopkeeper was pinned down on the counter by two guards. Yunxiu pried open his mouth and threw a pill inside. "This poison will take effect in seven days. You'd better behave yourself."

"Su Er, take her away and interrogate her to find out the whereabouts of our silver. Don't leave any traces on the surface. This old hag is still useful."

"Let's just play with the forces behind Baili City."

If you dare to mess with her, be prepared to be blackmailed.

Zhong Yi came over and asked Yunxiu, "A Xiu, what's going on?" Yunxiu whispered the plan in Zhong Yi's ear, and Zhong Yi's eyes lit up.

"That's right, you may need to take some risks." Yunxiu said.

"I'm not afraid of taking risks, Xiu. I'll go wherever you go."

In the evening, the thin woman came as expected.

The innkeeper's hands trembled as he said, "This guest cannot afford the accommodation, so he agreed to pawn his husband to a brothel to pay off his debts."

Yunxiu put a veil on Zhong Yi, her face showing reluctance. Zhong Yi turned around to look at her. Just as he was about to be taken away, Yunxiu said to the thin woman, "Wait... I've heard about this den of brothel you guys are in. I can still turn things around, right?"

"Guest, have you thought it through?"

"The shopkeeper told me that I had mortgaged my husband for money. I'm going to give it a try. If I'm lucky, I can win enough for the accommodation and redeem my husband."

The thin woman smiled and said, "Of course, let's go together."

The thin woman made a well-done gesture to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After the few people left, the shopkeeper humbly said, "Sir, can you give me an antidote?"

Su Er said coldly, "The antidote is with the master. I don't have it here."

At night, Yunxiu took Zhong Yi out of the Zuiyue Inn and followed the thin woman forward.

Several people walked to the front of a mountain. The thin woman pulled away the vines and found a huge door on a stone wall. The material of the door seemed to be integrated with the entire stone wall. It was difficult to see it once it was covered. It was hidden very deeply.

The thin woman opened a mechanism, and the stone door opened, and two tall women stood behind the door.

The thin woman greeted the two guards and walked in with Yunxiu and others.

Inside the cave was a narrow passage with fish paste lamps lit on both walls. After walking for a while, Yunxiu suddenly raised her hand and slashed, knocking the thin woman unconscious to the ground.

There were many forked roads in the cave. Yunxiu followed the system's instructions all the way, avoiding the patrolling guards, and finally reached the wide area.

There were bright candlelights and the crowd was shouting wildly, saying that this was an underground casino.

She looked around and found that there were all kinds of gambling games here, including Liubo chess, cockfighting, and sheep fighting.

Inside the wire fence, two horned sheep were wrestling, head to head, which reminded her of bullfighting. However, in an agricultural society, cattle were important tools of production and no one used them for gambling.

Another round of cheers was heard. The stage on the other side was bustling with activity. The audience surrounded the stage, making it impossible to get out of the crowd. "General Wu vs. General Hong! It's a sure bet!"

Yunxiu took Zhong Yi's hand and squeezed into the crowd to see a big black-crowned rooster and a big red-crowned rooster.

Just these two fighting cocks, are they called generals? There is no beauty in watching those cocks fighting, just one word - "fuck", the weak chickens peck at each other, their feathers flying everywhere.

"You poor fellows, are you here to join in the fun? Can you afford it?" a sharp voice rang out. Yunxiu immediately turned around and saw Lu Xuan, whom she had only met once at the inn. She stood there, looking at them with a look of pride.

Yunxiu was not angry. It was just that the big fool last night had insisted on booking the whole inn by himself and refused to take the refund. Such a young and frivolous guy didn't have any bad intentions.

Yun Xiu said with a friendly smile, "My friend, are you here to play as well? It looks like you've lost money, right? Nine out of ten people lose money gambling. Even if your family fortune is huge, it can't withstand such a loss."

Lu Xuan was furious and said angrily, "You poor fellow, I have plenty of money to lose! Unlike you, I don't even have money to exchange for gambling chips, so I can only watch."

"Gambling chips?" Yunxiu thought. Could they be gambling chips? Yunxiu was a little curious.

When Lu Xuan saw this, she secretly rejoiced in her heart. She was a country bumpkin with limited knowledge, so she let me give her a little shock.

"I don't want to play anymore. I'll give you these chips. Tsk, you poor thing." Lu Xuan stuffed all the chips in her hand to Yunxiu, shook her hair, and left without looking back.

This Lu Xuan is really stupid and has a lot of money. Even if she can recruit him, she doesn't want to recruit him, as it will lower the IQ of the team.
