Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Seeing that the wolf in front of her didn't move, she took a deep breath and ran back desperately.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

She couldn't just stand there and wait to die!

The adrenaline in her body surged instantly, and Su An ran wildly without caring about anything. Even if she didn't look back, she could hear the sound of people chasing her behind her.

But it was getting late, and the road in the woods was rough.

Su An didn't know what he stepped on, but his feet slipped and he fell backwards.

It’s over! It's completely over now!

If he falls down, he will be torn to pieces by the wolves, right?

At the critical moment, a black shadow quickly passed by, put its arms around Su An's waist and helped her up.

At the same time, he lightly swung the sword in his hand, making two sword flowers, and the wolf that was chasing him was immediately beheaded by him. The body and blood fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Su An swallowed in shock.

She didn't come to her senses until the man let her go.

She bowed politely and thanked the visitor.

"Thank you very much for saving my life, sir. I will never forget your kindness. May I ask your name? If I can return safely in the future, I will prepare a gift and come to express my gratitude!"

After hearing this, the person in front of him turned his head and looked away, responding in a low and hoarse voice.

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it. Even if it were someone else today, I would still help them."

Su An was completely confused.

If she remembered correctly, she didn't seem to say that he came here specifically to save her. Why did this sound like she was trying to cover up the truth?

She hadn't thought too much about it at first, but now she had to doubt the identity of the man in black.

Su An narrowed his eyes slightly and looked him up and down quietly.

The man who came was tall and slender, dressed in black. If he hadn't been holding a sword in his hand, he would have blended into the darkness. The black scarf on his face covered his face tightly, leaving only a pair of ordinary eyes exposed.

This look seems a little familiar.

But she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Su An frowned and searched desperately for relevant memories in his mind.

The man couldn't ignore her fiery gaze, so he could only cough lightly and confess with a sigh.

"Miss, there's no need to guess. My presence here is certainly not accidental, but I hold no ill will towards you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to rescue you just now."

This did not dispel Su An's doubts.

She looked at the man warily and asked.

"It's not a coincidence. Does that mean you're following me? Do you know me?"

Hearing this, the man in black's eyes flashed and he shook his head in response.

"I don't know him, but I know an old friend of yours. If I'm guessing correctly, Miss Su left the capital to look for an old friend! The conditions at the border are harsh and cold, and there are many dangers. I kindly advise you not to go."

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a beautiful place, retreat to the mountains, and live a free and easy life?"

Before the last word fell, Su An seized the opportunity and quickly pulled off his face mask.

As the veil fell, a strange face came into view.

None of the facial features matched the memory in my mind.

It’s not Fu Zhun, how could it be?

Facing the man's surprised gaze, Su An subconsciously frowned, clutched the handkerchief in his hand, and pressed, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Fu Zhun?"

Seeing that she was suspicious, the man in black pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then had to tell the truth.

"I was asked by the prince to help the girl."

"What about Fu Zhun? Where is he now? Why doesn't he come to see me in person?"

Hearing the word "Fu Zhun", Su An became emotional and moved closer to the man in black and continued to ask questions.

The man in black took the handkerchief from her hand, adjusted it, and replied calmly, "Since I'm dead, I can't come to see you in person."

"Where's the evidence? If you say he's dead, then he's dead?"

Su An felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and his breathing quickened.

Hearing this, the look in the man in black's eyes relaxed a little, he lowered his eyes and sighed.

"When the King of Zhenbei conquered the Northern Hu, it was like an egg against a rock. He died in the battle, and no one had a complete body. Countless soldiers on the border couldn't find his body, so how could I bring it back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Su An's hysterical rebuttal.

"If he's alive, we have to see him. If he's dead, we have to see his body. Since we haven't found his body, it means he's still alive."

"If you don't look for him, I will. No matter what, I will find him!"

After saying this, she turned around and went to look for An Yi, regardless of the reaction of the man in black.

Afraid that she might get into another accident alone, the man in black had no choice but to follow her closely.

But she searched for several miles around and couldn't find Anyi, only the wolf's corpse.

The sword marks were neat and almost every move was fatal. Judging from the situation, An Yi should not have encountered any danger, so why could he not be found for so long?

If nothing happened, then he was hiding on purpose.

An Yi's mission was to protect himself, so he couldn't be hiding from her. However, there were only the two of them here, so if he wasn't hiding from her, then it must be the person behind him...

After this analysis, Su An once again became suspicious of the identity of the man in black.

She suddenly stopped and stood still. The person behind her didn't react and bumped into her back.

While the man in black was stunned, Su An turned around swiftly, put his hand on his neck, stood on tiptoe, tilted his head back and kissed his lips.

His pupils dilated slightly and he stared at Su An in disbelief.

Su An looked back at him, moved her hand to his face and stroked it gently.

It’s indeed a disguise!

She narrowed her eyes suddenly, moved her fingers to the flaw, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to directly peel off the human skin mask on his face.

The face he had been thinking about day and night came into view, and Su An felt a little aggrieved. He stared at him and began to question him.

"Why did you lie to me?"

Seeing this, Fu Zhun's eyes flashed with complexity. He stepped forward and held her in his arms, sighing, "I didn't mean to lie to you, but the conflict between the emperor and I has already arisen, and it is destined not to end well."

"But I didn't want to implicate you, so I faked my own death to get away. Firstly, to protect you, and secondly, to let him down."

As he spoke, his voice became a little hoarse, and there was a hint of reluctance in it.

"With An Yi protecting you in secret, you will be able to live well even without me in the future."

Hearing this, Su An pushed him away and slapped him in the face.

Her eyes were misty and full of disappointment.

"Can you please wake up a little? Do you think I can live in peace like this? Knowing that I left, he would definitely capture my family. They are still in the palace. How can I just ignore them?"

"Now, you and I are inseparable. We will die together and live together!"
