Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

A violent jolt woke up Su An from his sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Yi sitting opposite her with a book in his hand, nodding and frowning from time to time.

The surroundings are no longer familiar.

No, he must be sick!

Since the frame-up failed, they tried kidnapping instead.

Su An propped himself up and sat up, looking at Chu Yi warily. He suppressed his anger, frowned, and asked him, "What tricks are you playing?"

Hearing this, Chu Yi put down the book, looked over leisurely, and said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Su is awake."

"Don't be so wary. I just feel that Miss Su is so warm and hospitable. I have no way to repay her, so I invited her to visit the capital for a few days. That's all."

Invite her to visit the capital? Could this damn emperor be so kind?

Su An looked him up and down with suspicion.

But Chu Yi's face was calm, without revealing any flaws, which made her a little confused.

Suddenly, Su An seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative to mention it to Chu Yi: "By the way, I have already done the disaster relief silver thing. When does Your Majesty plan to fulfill his promise and apologize to Fu Zhun?"

Speaking of apology, Chu Yi's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and snorted coldly.

"It's not too late to discuss this matter later. Miss Su, you were able to gather tens of millions of taels in just half a day. I am truly impressed. I wonder how Miss Su came up with such a brilliant plan?"

Naturally, it was inspired by modern auctions.

As long as the gimmick is attractive enough, there is no need to worry that they will not pay.

Su An chuckled, crossed his arms over his chest, and explained to him with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"As the saying goes, business people value profit. For them, changing their household registration can bring them greater benefits. Therefore, they will definitely compete with each other. As for the gifts later, they are just to appease people and shut them up."

Yes, the reason why this plan was successful is ultimately because people are selfish.

If these merchants were more united and courteous, this plan would not be able to be implemented smoothly.

Chu Yi clapped his hands and nodded in praise.

"Well, well said. It seems Miss Su is very good at understanding people's hearts. Then Miss Su, why don't you guess again, when did I become attracted to you?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and moved slightly closer to Su An.

The peach blossom eyes that pretended to be affectionate seemed to contain a pool of clear water, as if they wanted to drown Su An.

Ambergris mixed with the unique masculine scent went straight into her nostrils.

Su An quickly stepped back and kept some distance from him.

Emperors have always been fickle since ancient times. This damn emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and he also has a secret meeting with Li Wanyue in private. Now he even has the nerve to pretend to be affectionate in front of her.

At this moment, Su An felt a chill in his heart.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer cleverly, the sound of hurried horse hooves approached.

Finally, with a neigh, it barely flew to the side of the carriage and ran parallel to it.

By chance, a gust of wind blew open the curtain, and Su An saw Fu Zhun riding on a horse with a face as dark as ink.

Her eyes widened slightly, and she called out in surprise: "Fu Zhun, you're here."

God knows how depressed she was when she was with this damn emperor. Finally, she didn't have to flatter him anymore.

Su An didn't bother to stop the carriage, and stood up impatiently, wanting to get out of the carriage.

But before she could move, Chu Yi raised his hand slightly and pushed her back.

That wasn't all, he even took the opportunity to sit next to Su An, put his arms around her shoulders tightly, held her in his arms forcibly, and looked at Fu Zhun provocatively.

"Uncle Emperor, you're rushing here in such a hurry. Could it be that you're worried that something might happen to me on my way back to the capital, and you're here to escort me?"

Seeing Su An struggling in resistance in his arms, Fu Zhun's eyes became even gloomier, and his hands holding the reins clenched tightly.

But right now, Su An is still in his hands and he cannot act rashly.

Fu Zhun concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, pursed his lips and nodded.

"The journey back to the capital is difficult and dangerous, so I have come here specially to see you off."

After saying that, he turned his head and gave orders in a low voice.

"Sword Guards, listen up and clear the way ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jian Yi led the sword guards on horseback to the front of the team, looking around vigilantly to clear the way for Chu Yi.

Seeing this, Chu Yi let go of his hand with satisfaction and thanked him with a curved lip.

"I knew that the emperor's uncle still misses me in his heart. So I'll have to trouble the emperor's uncle."

After saying this, he lowered the curtain and let Su An go.

Su An was stunned by the scene in front of him.

If she remembered correctly, they were at loggerheads not long ago, looking as if they wanted to tear each other apart. How could they become so harmonious in such a short time?

It can be said that there is harmony, but there is also a strange atmosphere that is difficult to explain.

Su An was puzzled and was a little absent-minded along the way.

"Enemy attack, everyone on alert!"

As Jian Yi drew his sword and roared, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Su An hurriedly stuck his head out of the carriage window to check the situation.

In front of the team stood a group of bandits wearing brown coarse robes. They all held a big knife in their hands, resting it on their shoulders, staring at the team ferociously, as if they were staring at a fat sheep.

The leader's beard twitched and he grinned maliciously.

"Such a luxurious carriage must be filled with a lot of goodies."

"Brothers, come together and rob this carriage so that we can hurry back and have a drink."

He raised the big knife in his hand, and the bandits behind him responded immediately and rushed forward without saying a word.

Fu Zhun suddenly squeezed his horse's belly and rushed out with his sword in hand.

The sword guard followed closely behind and rushed into the bandit group.

In an instant, the two sides engaged in a melee, blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red.

Corpses continued to fall to the ground.

Su An clung to the wall of the carriage nervously, staring at Fu Zhun intently, fearing that he would get injured if he wasn't careful.

Fortunately, these bandits were nothing to him.

In just a quarter of an hour, the bandits were beaten to pieces and fled in all directions.

"Dare to rob the Holy Chariot? Behead!"

Fu Zhun looked down at the bandit leader condescendingly and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

The blood splattered on his face made him look like the King of Hell crawling out of hell, and his aura was chilling.

The bandit swallowed his saliva and ran away, mumbling for mercy.

"No, no, I don't want to die."

Just as he was about to swing his sword to chop off the bandit leader's head, an arrow flew through the air.

"Fu Zhun, be careful!"

Su Anxin's heart was in her throat. She stood up and warned him.

No sooner said than done, the sword turned around in Fu Zhun's hand, and he held it upside down, splitting the flying arrow into two halves and dropping it to the ground.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

Su An breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the culprit - He Cheng - with dissatisfaction.

He had caused trouble for her many times before and wanted to kill her.
