Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Behave yourself when you get in, or I won't mind cutting off your hands and feet."

Xia Yuandao glared at Su An threateningly, and then pulled her out of the carriage.

The brothel was brightly lit, the sound of stringed instruments was incessant, the air was filled with the strong scent of cosmetics and the sounds of flirting, the scene was one of decadence and extravagance.

Su An's breathing quickened, and he immediately thought of the flower boat.

Could it be that this old thief has changed his mind and wants to sell himself to a brothel?!

But unexpectedly, Xia Yuandao secretly held her down, walked through the crowd, and came to a luxurious room.

There was a man in the room lazily leaning on a carved bench. He had a handsome face, a high nose, plump lips, and healthy yet wild wheat-colored skin. He looked like a cheetah ready to pounce, exuding a dangerous aura.

What shocked Su An even more was that the man was wearing a luxurious purple robe with the Northern Hu totem of a gray wolf and a white deer embroidered on it with silver thread!

The lines of the totem are hard and sharp, and every bend is like a sharp blade, making it look noble and inviolable.

"Second Prince, I have brought the person here."

Xia Yuandao pushed her forward, and his respectful voice shocked Su An.

This man turned out to be the second prince of Beihu!

And he appeared so openly in the territory of Chu!

Zhan Beiluan narrowed his dark green wolf-like pupils, and his eyes were like a cold and arrogant blade that slashed across Su An.

From her carefully dressed but haggard face, to the gorgeous but exaggerated red dress, and finally back to her face.

The faint smile on his lips became more obvious, but it was filled with disdain: "With your appearance? You can't be called a beauty."

"I really don't know what possessed the Prince of Zhenbei and the Emperor of Da Chu to be so captivated by such a dull woman."

Su An's already pent-up anger was immediately ignited when he heard Zhan Beiluan's words.

She smiled coldly, "Although I'm not a beauty, I'm still a hundred times better than you barbarians who only know how to scheme, burn, kill, and plunder."

The air around seemed to freeze.

Xia Yuandao's face looked grim, but he bent over and dared not move.

Zhan Beiluan raised his arrogant eyebrows and looked at Su An with some surprise.

"No wonder you're locked up for a few days. It turns out you're a woman with a lot of tongues, and you can't be underestimated!"

Su An pulled his lower lip expressionlessly and said, "I have different opinions on people, especially for those wolves in human skin. There is no need to be polite. Just treat them like shit!"

These vulgar and unpleasant words made Zhan Beiluan frown, and his eyes were full of disgust.

This seemingly weak woman is so unrestrained when it comes to scolding people.

"I used to think that women in Da Chu were all gentle, well-behaved and obedient. I didn't expect you to be more like a girl from our grassland, wild and untamable!"

"Is the prince of Beihu just talking nonsense?" Su An stared straight at Zhan Beiluan, wishing he could see through his thoughts.

"What exactly is your purpose? Stop hiding it like a rat and making it look shameful to others."

Su An's voice suddenly became harsh, and he wanted to use provocation to force the other party to reveal his purpose.

But unexpectedly, Zhan Beiluan did not respond to her question, but suddenly turned his head to look outside the door, with a cruel smile with murderous intent on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, it looks like your lover has caught up with you. This scene is really getting more and more interesting."

Su An was startled and looked towards the door in surprise.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of horse hooves and the sound of military fighting outside. The whole brothel seemed to be shaking slightly, and soon the place was surrounded.

Then the door was smashed down with a loud bang.

A specially made rosewood wheelchair entered the house first, and Fu Zhun sat on it, appearing in everyone's sight surrounded by a group of soldiers.

He had an upright posture, and his eyes were narrow and cold. His gaze made people's hearts suddenly shudder. The majesty and oppression contained in his eyes made the air around them seem to condense a little.

"Fu Zhun!" Su An couldn't help but shout out, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

This is the perfect time, right? What a perfect timing!

Fu Zhun's gaze also fixed on Su An, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Just when Su An wanted to take the opportunity to run over, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. Before she could scream, Xia Yuandao pulled her body over.

The other hand quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist. A cold light flashed, and the sharp blade was pressed tightly against Su An's slender neck.

"You have already lured me here, let her go!" Fu Zhun's voice was cold and harsh.

Xia Yuandao laughed sinisterly. If he moved even slightly, Su An would be covered in blood. "Now is not the time for you to talk!"

"Tsk tsk." At this time, Zhan Beiluan clapped his hands with interest and stood up.

His dark green eyes flashed with excitement and murderous intent, but at the same time he was extremely puzzled: "King Zhenbei, your opponent is me, not because of a useless woman exposing your weakness."

"Or is it as the rumors say, that you've really become obsessed with women? That really makes me look down on you!"

Fu Zhun frowned, his gaze lingering on Zhan Beiluan for a moment, "Second Prince."

"It's been a while since we last met after the war a few years ago. Are you restless and want to stir up trouble again?"

The tone of his voice suddenly turned cold at the end, as if the room was filled with a physical chill, as if it had fallen into an icy cave.

"Whether to start a war depends on your decision, King Zhenbei."

Zhan Beiluan licked the corner of his scarlet lips and spoke with a playful and greedy tone: "As long as you die, I will release her immediately, and there will be peace between our two countries!"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly flashed and pounced towards Fu Zhun like a cheetah, holding up the scimitar drawn from his waist, even bringing out a strong gust of wind.

"Be careful!" Su An shouted with his heart pounding.

This shameless guy can't afford to play sneak attacks!

Although Fu Zhun was sitting in a wheelchair, his movements were not slow at all. He quickly drew out his sword from the armrest of the wheelchair and stabbed towards Zhan Beiluan.

The longsword and scimitar collided, making a sharp metal collision sound and sparks flying.

"It seems that the King of Zhenbei doesn't love that woman so much!" Zhan Beiluan sneered, and his attack became even more fierce like a storm, with every move full of murderous intent.

"Protect the prince!"

The soldiers immediately rushed forward with vigilance, but were stopped by Fu Zhun's cold shout: "Don't interfere, be alert!"

Su An was still being held hostage on the opposite side. If she was injured or defeated in the battle with Beiluan, her situation would be bad.

Fu Zhun's eyes were as deep as water. His swordsmanship was exquisite, and the wheelchair was controlled by him as if it were a part of his body. He cleverly avoided several attacks from Zhan Beiluan while looking for the opponent's flaws.

But after all, he was not able to move easily. Under Zhan Beiluan's round after round of arrogant attacks, Fu Zhun gradually lost the upper hand, and his arms and shoulders were covered with bloody cuts!
