Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Fu Zhun wrinkled the letter until it was slightly wrinkled. He spoke in a cold voice, "I know there is Su An's secret code in the letter. I believe there must have been an ambush there long ago."

"But so what?"

He closed his eyes and said, "Get ready and go to Baili Pavilion to rescue them immediately."

"Master!" An Yi's eyes trembled in disbelief, and he hurriedly stopped him: "Master, calm down. If you know there's an ambush, you can't go there rashly!"

Fu Zhun glanced at him coldly, naturally knowing how cautious his subordinate was towards Su An.

"Don't say anything, just follow orders."

The words came down like a heavy hammer, and the hostility in them made An Yi dare not persuade him anymore.

But he couldn't help cursing in his heart, what a seductive beauty! She bewitched the prince so much that he didn't even care about the danger.

Meanwhile, in the valley.

After He Cheng sent the letter, he saw Su An's pale face without any ripples at this time, and couldn't help but laugh: "Silly woman, you are so calm, do you think I didn't find the secret code in your letter?"

Su An had been resting with her eyes closed, but when she heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked deeply surprised.

"W-What code? I don't understand."

Finally seeing her changed expression, He Cheng felt a morbid sense of victory in his heart.

"I've known for a long time that there must be something strange about you being so easily obedient, so I carefully looked for your little tricks." His eyes were full of mockery, "But you think you can hide it from me like this, you are naive and ridiculous."

Hearing this, Su An was stunned for two seconds, and asked in disbelief: "Since you knew, why didn't you stop it?"

He Cheng chuckled and laughed out loud, "Fool, this is of course an open conspiracy!"

"Even if Fu Zhun sees this code and knows it's a trap, he will definitely come! Doesn't he pride himself on being affectionate? I want to see how far he can go for you!"

Su An's heart sank suddenly. He could almost imagine Fu Zhun's reaction as he said.

If Fu Zhun came over, even if he knew there was an ambush, the terrain of the valley was difficult to explore, so he would have no choice but to take the risk!

When Su An thought that he might harm Fu Zhun, his eyes became red and he secretly prayed that he would not come.

Suddenly, her chin was jerked up, and He Cheng stared at her painful face, his eyes filled with both resentment and jealousy: "Why, why do you have to be so devoted to that cripple?"

"He is a prince of noble status, but I am also His Majesty's right-hand man. I will soon achieve great success and become a leader among thousands of people!"

"Su An, now that things have come to this, I will give you another chance. If you choose to follow me, I can let you live."

He Cheng pinched her chin with a little force, and his voice was full of seduction.

Su An raised his eyes sarcastically, "Haha, He Cheng, a rat is a rat. You, a rat from the gutter, were put into a cage and you think you have successfully climbed ashore?"

"But you still have to crawl under other people's feet like a stinking bug that can't stand the light!"

She almost figured out why He Cheng became the so-called messenger.

It must be that He Cheng did not die in prison, but was taken away by the emperor and trained to become the royal shadow guard.

The poison of the shadow guard that Xie Qingfeng mentioned in the inn a few days ago is the best evidence!

Therefore, her words were extremely heartbreaking.

He Cheng's face instantly turned ashen, showing his anger at having his true self pierced.

"Su An, you provoke me again and again, don't think I really don't dare to kill you!"

Su An heard this and sneered disdainfully: "Tsk tsk, you're so impatient! Can't you come up with some new tricks besides threats? Anyway, I've died once before, so your low-level tricks are useless to me. Kill me if you want!"

At worst, she could just float back to modern times and be an honest worker again.

But unexpectedly, He Cheng laughed strangely and said, "New trick? I remember it."

After saying that, he drew out the soft sword from his waist and cut a gash in the palm of his hand without hesitation. A dark red blood that looked abnormal immediately flowed out of the wound.

Immediately, he grabbed Su An's chin, forced his mouth open, and fed the blood into Su An's mouth.

"Cough cough!" Su An swallowed several mouthfuls unexpectedly and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit instantly.

What kind of perverted scheme is this? Feeding human blood!

But before she could start cursing, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Although it was very faint, it still made her feel an unprecedented strangeness. The dizziness seemed to slowly eat away at her spirit, and her eyes were dazed for a long time.

"You...what did you do to me?"

He Cheng narrowed his eyes, feeling only infinite pleasure: "This poisonous blood is unique to the Shadow Guard's body. Without my antidote, every month when the poison attacks, you will be worse than death."

"Su An, from now on you can only obey my orders!"

Su An's body shook violently, and he immediately wanted to dig his throat to spit it out, but He Cheng held him tightly to stop him.

She was so angry that she laughed, and she could no longer control her hatred for this piece of shit.

With a "huh" sound, he spat a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood at his face viciously.

"Poisoning me is all you can do. Do you still think you're so clever? Using such a shameful trick to deal with a weak woman like me, you're truly a hero among bears, a despicable and awesome person!"

The extremely insulting spit and the sarcastic and harsh ridicule made He Cheng's smug look suddenly freeze on his face.

“Bitch—!”

He raised his palm high and was about to strike down when suddenly a guard came over and said, "Messenger, we have discovered the Zhenbei King's troops. The King is at Baili Pavilion right now!"

Su An's expression changed slightly, but He Cheng shook her off without hesitation and sneered, "Okay, hold your ground for now. I'll be there right now."

"If the situation doesn't go well, take this bitch out as a hostage and then launch an ambush!"

Baili Pavilion is located at the entrance of the valley. The night is as dark as ink and the surroundings are eerily quiet. Only the solitary lamp in the pavilion sways in the wind, emitting a dim light.

Soon He Cheng arrived with two guards. He saw Fu Zhun standing alone in the pavilion. His facial features were outlined with a cold arc under the dim moonlight.

"Your Highness is indeed very courageous. He dares to come alone to rescue people." He Cheng said as he walked in, staring at him with hidden jealousy.

He's just a cripple, but he pretends to be so decent!

Fu Zhun glanced at him with a cool glare: "Don't be so long-winded. Tell me your conditions. What do you want in exchange for letting Su An go?"

He Cheng sneered, his laugh sounding treacherous and harsh in the night wind.

"The prince really has a soft spot for that bitch. I'm embarrassed to break you up."

"However, I have a mission after all, and I hope that the prince will not make things difficult for me. Come back to the capital with me and confess your crime, and I will release Su An!"
