Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Take advantage of the situation..." Su An muttered with his eyes downcast, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

What a good trick he used to keep her in the dark, making her nervous all the way.

Or maybe Fu Zhun wanted to use her to hide the truth from Xue Sha and was worried that she would be exposed, so he didn't say a word?

Su An couldn't help but sigh softly. No matter how uncomfortable he was, now was not the time to be pretentious. He nodded and asked, "I'm fine. What are your plans next?"

"While the effect of Qianlong Pill has not yet worn off, I want to go and command the battle." Fu Zhun stared at her for a moment with his dark eyes like torches.

"Zhou Li has also arrived. He and Xie Qingfeng will protect you during this period. Just stay here. The Blood Lotus Cult rebellion will be quelled soon."

Su An was speechless. It seemed that he had been just a tool throughout the whole process, and now it was time to retire.

She turned her head and looked into the distance. In the night, the Blood Lotus Sect was ablaze with flames and fighting. Worried, she told Fu Zhun, "Be careful. I'll be waiting for you here."

At this time, the army had been fully equipped. Fu Zhun nodded, turned around and strode away.

"Did you see that, young boss? The grace and aura of our prince when he stood up are absolutely amazing. You're not at a disadvantage at all!" Zhou Li came up to him at some point and made a frivolous face.

He was accompanied by several guards. After tying up the unconscious members of the Blood Lotus Sect, they waited nearby to protect the safety of the carriage.

When Su An heard this, he suddenly realized what was happening and quickly turned to look at Xie Qingfeng: "My doctor, isn't there any side effect after taking the Qianlong Pill? Isn't it going to affect Fu Zhun if he keeps taking it like this?"

Xie Qingfeng had completed his task and was feeling very relaxed. He found a carriage, crossed his legs and took a rest, feeling completely indifferent.

"Continuous use will indeed deplete Qi and blood, but it can be replenished later. The prince's foundation is still there anyway, so he won't die even if he uses it eight or ten more times."

Su An: "..."

Well, well, these two people are really Fu Zhun’s right-hand men, very “reliable”!

She closed her eyes out of exhaustion and leaned back in the carriage to rest.

Anyway, the two of them are not worried, so why should she worry about it?

He thought so, but the shouts of killing from the Blood Lotus Sect at the foot of the mountain were deafening, and the sounds of countless swords clashing made Su An toss and turn, feeling nervous.

Finally, he got off the carriage and planned to look at the situation below from afar.

However, just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Xue Sha, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes.

He moved his hands quietly, and while no one was paying attention, he pulled hard and quickly cut the rope.

Xuesha quickly stood up and rushed towards Su An like a ghost.

Before Su An could react, he saw a sword against his neck and was being held in front of him.

Her eyes widened in shock, "You—"

"Don't move, or I will kill her!" Xuesha shouted angrily, his voice full of threats.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment by this sudden change.

Zhou Li was even more shocked. He immediately put away his nonchalant look, drew his sword, and surrounded him with several guards. "If you don't want to live, then try it!"

Xue Sha snorted coldly, convinced of Su An's importance, and sarcastically replied: "If you don't want her to live, just try it yourself!"

As he spoke, the sword blade demonstratively cut a bloody mark on Su An's neck.

"Get out of the way and let me go, or I don't mind dying with this little bitch!"

Xie Qingfeng looked solemn upon seeing this. He frowned and stepped forward to hold Zhou Li. "Don't act rashly. Just let him go."

Damn it, they were all careless. They didn’t expect that Xue Sha could escape even after being tied up!

"But!" Zhou Li gritted his teeth, but received Xie Qingfeng's tough look.

They had a weak scholar and a doctor who couldn't fight, and they only had a few guards around them. If a fight broke out, it would be very easy for Su An to get hurt.

Xue Sha took the opportunity to hold Su An hostage and slowly retreat. Seeing that the two men did not give any orders, the guards around them could only vigilantly make way for them until they disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhou Li stamped his foot fiercely, but Xie Qingfeng, on the other hand, looked much calmer. He turned around and ordered, "Quick, report to the prince!"

In the Blood Lotus Sect, Fu Zhun commanded the army and was about to wipe out the rebel forces here.

It was not until the soldiers brought the news that Su An was taken away by Xue Sha that his face suddenly turned dark.

"Order Zhou Li to lead the team to continue suppressing the rebellion of the Blood Lotus Sect. Do not slack off in the slightest!"

Fu Zhun gave the soldiers a stern order, and then his figure quickly disappeared, chasing in the direction where Xue Sha fled.

At this time, Su An was being dragged through the mountains and forests, running wildly, angry and anxious, cursing all the way.

"You bastard, you can run faster on your own! How far can you run with me?"

Xue Sha raised his eyebrows coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, that prince cares about you, with you in my hands, he won't dare to act rashly."

Su An immediately vomited blood in her heart. Why was she being held hostage again? What kind of absurd non-chieftain physique was she?

The wind whistled past, scraping the leaves and sand painfully. She blinked and squeezed out two sad tears.

"How ridiculous! He doesn't care about me at all. He's just using me to lure you into this trap and follow the clues to find out who's behind it. I'm completely unaware of all this. Even I've been tricked!"

Xue Sha was slightly stunned, then looked at her mockingly.

"Do you think this elder is a fool? If he didn't care about you, why would he arrange for someone to protect you?"

"Haha." Su An covered his chest with his hands hurt, a heartbroken look on his face. "If he really wanted to protect me, why did he only send those weaklings? He was just pretending."

"Why else would he always put me in danger? Why would he never listen to my advice? I'm just a tool to achieve his goals!"

As Su An spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she was filled with sorrow.

These words successfully shocked Xue Sha for a while.

Looking at Su An, who seemed to be abandoned and in despair, his eyes were filled with a mixture of astonishment and sympathy.

"Alas, I didn't expect that you are also a pitiful person." Xuesha sighed and actually began to comfort her.

"Since that boy treats you like this, you don't have to feel sad for him. Men are naturally fickle, not to mention that he is a prince, so he must have three wives and four concubines around him. Just let it go!"

Xuesha continued to comfort him earnestly, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. It's just that the prince wants to keep you, so you must have other uses. So we have no choice but to let you continue to be a hostage."

"Once things are resolved, you can stay in our Blood Lotus Sect with peace of mind and stay away from that prince!"

Su An's mouth twitched when he heard this.

What's going on? Are the kidnappers comforting the hostages?

She just wanted to prove herself worthless so that Xue Sha would let her go, but instead, he showed sympathy?!

"Oh no, someone is chasing us!"
