Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"What? Uncle Emperor, are you done pretending? Are you planning a rebellion openly?"

Chu Yi stood on the city wall, looking down at Fu Zhun and shouting at him.

Brigadier General Fu held the spear in his hand and stood on the ground. He raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Yi. His eyes were cold without a trace of warmth, and he used his internal force to spread his voice.

"If the ruler is unvirtuous, the ministers will have no choice but to rebel."

"Since the late emperor entrusted the country of Great Chu to me, I naturally cannot let him down."

A sharp light flashed in Fu Zhun's eyes and he continued to speak.

"Although you are related by blood to the late emperor, you cannot understand his will. What I am doing today is not for personal gain, but for the eternal prosperity of the Great Chu."

His voice echoed on the battlefield for a long time.

Hearing this, Chu Yi's face turned pale and his hands clenched tighter under his sleeves.

He laughed in anger and waved back with a gloomy look.

"The Prince of Zhenbei is worthy of being the pillar of the Great Chu. He is indeed righteous and eloquent. However, do you think that usurping the throne can bring peace to the world? How naive!"

Chu Yi's voice was high-pitched, with a hint of disdain in his anger.

As he was speaking, Su An had already been brought up. Chu Yi took advantage of the situation and pushed her onto the city wall. There was a mad look in his eyes, and he laughed loudly and threatened Fu Zhun.

"It is said that the King of Zhenbei is invincible and fearless."

"Then I wonder what the selfless King of Zhenbei will choose between the kingdom and the beauty?"

Fu Zhun fixed his eyes on Su An beside Chu Yi and tightened his grip on the spear.

Didn’t he ask An Yi to send Su An back?

How did she appear in the palace?

Fu Zhun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, pressed the tip of his tongue against the back of his teeth, and cursed at Chu Yi: "As the emperor of the Great Chu, in the middle of war, you actually use innocent people as a threat. How despicable!"

"So what? Great Chu is the legacy left by my father. As long as we can protect Great Chu, any means are worth it."

Chu Yi raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but was not angry.

At this moment, Fu Zhun was extremely conflicted.

If he advances, Su An will be in danger, and if something happens to her, he will regret it in the future. But if he retreats, they have already started an army, and in the future he will inevitably implicate thousands of soldiers and be branded as traitors.

Su An looked down at Fu Zhun and looked into his eyes quietly.

After being together for so long, she naturally knew Fu Zhun's character. Even if it was Zhou Li instead of her standing here today, he would never abandon anyone easily.

But Fu Zhun had been secretly preparing for so long, how could she bear to delay Fu Zhun?

What's more, Chu Yi killed her mother and imprisoned her in the palace. Even if she dies today, she will never let Chu Yi have an easy time!

Su An suddenly sneered and shouted at Fu Zhun.

"Fu Zhun, don't worry about me. You have always protected the country and loved the people, and you have always taken it as your responsibility to protect the country. But he is afraid of you, persecutes you, and even tries to kill you. Such a tyrant is disloyal."

"When I die, you must kill this tyrant with your own hands and avenge me and my mother."

After saying this, she suddenly broke free from Chu Yi's restraints, climbed up the city wall, and jumped down without any regrets.

For a moment, her clothes fluttered, drawing a decisive arc in the cold wind.

Chu Yi's face changed, and he almost subconsciously ran forward and reached out to grab Su An's arm.

His fingertips brushed across her clothes and almost missed her, but fortunately, at the critical moment, he grabbed Su An's wrist tightly, supported his body, and tried to pull her back.

Veins popped out on his forehead, and as he exerted force, he gritted his teeth and said, "When did I allow you to die?"

The moment Su An jumped off the city wall, Fu Zhun's heart twitched violently, and the overwhelming anger and grief almost swallowed him whole.

Seeing Su An hanging in the air, he looked like a floating duckweed.

His eyes darkened and he didn't care about anything else. He pushed off the saddle hard and used the force to fly towards Su An.

Chu Yi noticed Fu Zhun's figure out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly and gave a stern order to the person next to him.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly release your arrows and kill the traitor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the archers around him drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Fu Zhun.

Arrows rained down on Fu Zhun.

Seeing this, Su An's heart tightened. He looked up at Chu Yi angrily, pulled out a hairpin from his head, and stabbed Chu Yi's wrist with the hairpin with all his strength.

"Even if I die today, I will never let you use me!"

Chu Yi felt pain and couldn't help but groan and let go.

The next moment, Su An's body fell rapidly, and only a white square handkerchief floated into Chu Yi's hand with the wind.

No!

His pupils constricted and his eyes were fixed on Su An's falling figure.

Fu Zhun jumped in the air, avoiding the rain of arrows, and rushed towards Su An with red eyes.

He held Su An horizontally in his arms tightly, and finally he felt relieved. He tried his best to steady his body in the air, and landed steadily on the ground with her in his arms.

Seeing that Su An was safe and sound, Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The sweat on his forehead was also dried by the wind at this moment.

He stood on the city wall, tightly holding the handkerchief in his hand, staring at the figures of Su An and Fu Zhun hugging each other with a complicated expression.

Su An looked at Fu Zhun's face, a sour feeling welled up in her heart. She stood up straight and hugged Fu Zhun's waist tightly, her voice choked with sobs.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hold you back, but he captured my mother."

Fu Zhun gently stroked her hair, his eyes filled with tenderness that had been lost and regained. His Adam's apple slid slightly, and he comforted her in a deep voice.

"I know everything. It was me who broke my promise and failed to rescue Auntie. I don't blame you. I originally wanted to reunite with you after rescuing Auntie, but I didn't expect to make you worry."

The two of them confided in each other, and the scene was warm.

The wind was howling on the city wall, and Chu Yi's face became more and more gloomy.

Originally, he wanted to use Su An to threaten Fu Zhun. Fu Zhun would not dare to act rashly out of consideration for Su An, and he would also buy more time to prepare for the war.

But he had planned everything, but he had never expected that Su An would take such a risky move.

Now that his plan has been disrupted by Su Anquan, he has to find another way.

Looking at the two figures, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and shouted below.

"Su An, have you forgotten that your mother is still in my hands? This time it was my carelessness that allowed you to escape by luck, but can your mother still have such good luck?"

"Tell me, should I chop off her right hand this time? Or her leg?"

As he spoke, he raised the corner of his lips, raised his eyebrows, and said so.

Although the words were not spoken loudly, every word made Su An feel cold in his heart.

She clenched her teeth and glared at Chu Yi.
