Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Fu Zhun's face was hit and tilted to the side, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

After hearing Su An's words, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, with some grievance in his voice.

"Everything has its destiny. Even if I leave today, there will be thousands of Zhenbei Kings rising up in the future. The people of the world will be the same with or without me."

"But life is so fast. This is the first time I like a woman so much. If I miss her, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Yes, from Fu Zhun’s perspective, he just wanted to do what he loved, so what was wrong with that?

Su An stared at him with a complicated expression, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a sound of breaking air was heard.

Fu Zhun's ears moved subconsciously, and he quickly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

I saw an arrow flashing with cold light flying towards Su An at a high speed. If she let this arrow hit Su An, she would surely die.

Fu Zhun's pupils dilated slightly, and he almost subconsciously pounced towards Su An.

"Be careful!!"

But even though he reacted quickly enough, the arrow still just grazed his arm.

The clothes on his shoulders were torn by the arrows, and the flesh underneath looked somewhat hideous.

Fu Zhun couldn't help but groan, turned around, grabbed the arrow with his bare hands, and threw it back towards the source.

Then, with a thud, the person hiding in the dark fell in front of them with an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

Su An hugged Fu Zhun nervously, his tone concerned.

"How are you doing?"

Without waiting for his answer, the black shadow in front of him stood up, broke the arrow on his shoulder, then wiped the blood from his lips with his hand and snorted coldly.

"As expected of the King of Zhenbei, his reaction is very sharp, but unfortunately he still fell for my trick."

After hearing this, Su An looked at the person who came.

This person was none other than her mortal enemy He Cheng.

She hadn't seen He Cheng for a long time, and she had forgotten about him. But it was strange that He Cheng didn't seem to be with Chu Yi on the day Fu Zhun attacked the palace.

She thought he had become a stray dog ​​and would never show up again, but she didn't expect him to follow her.

If Fu Zhun hadn't been there today, wouldn't they all have died?

Thinking about it, Su An felt a chill in his heart.

"It's just a minor injury, how could it harm me? I luckily let you escape that day. If you had known what was best for you and lived a normal life in hiding, I might have considered sparing your life. But now you've arrived just in time, so I can finish you off."

Ignoring the pain in his body, Fu Zhun snorted coldly, drew his sword from his waist, and confronted He Cheng.

In the past, although He Cheng could not beat Fu Zhun, he could still withstand more than ten moves from him. But now, no one knew whether it was because of injury or what, but he was defeated by Fu Zhun after only three moves.

Fu Zhun stabbed his sword into his heart, then pulled it back without mercy.

Blood gushed out immediately, and He Cheng knelt on the ground with a pale face, his eyes slightly widened, and his face was full of pain.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fu Zhun glanced at the sword in his hand and frowned.

For some reason, he always felt that everything was going too smoothly, and something seemed to be wrong.

Just as he was struggling, He Cheng, who thought he was doomed to die, took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and stumbled away.

Fu Zhun's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously chased after him.

But he was still a step too late and watched He Cheng jump into the moat.

His blood quickly spread in the moat.

Before being completely submerged, He Cheng laughed loudly with a crazy look in his eyes.

"Even if I'm inferior to you in skills, what does it matter if I die at your hands? I will sacrifice the people of the world. Having so many people accompany me on the road to the underworld is worth it."

Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Fu Zhun looked carefully and found that the river water mixed with blood was actually tinged with black, and there was some unknown mist on the water surface.

His blood is poisonous!

Only then did Fu Zhun realize why He Cheng dared to show up.

He deliberately sought death today, putting himself in the game, and trying to drag the people of the entire capital city to take the blame for him.

But now, even if he knew, he would be powerless to prevent the tragedy from happening.

After all, the moat is the source of life for the people. If the people are not allowed to use the water in the moat, it is equivalent to cutting off their livelihood. Not only will the people not listen to the advice, but it will also cause panic.

Just as Fu Zhun was standing there thinking about countermeasures, Su An caught up with him.

Seeing the situation in front of her, she frowned and cursed angrily.

"I really underestimated this bastard. I thought he was too stubborn and would chase me and kill me, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."

"No, we absolutely cannot allow this poison to continue to spread. We must create an antidote as soon as possible."

She bit her lower lip and muttered this.

Fu Zhun didn't say anything, but he was also worried.

Su An was worried about the people in the city, so he planned to go back temporarily and leave after resolving this matter.

At the same time, a young man in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe sat on a chair, with the corners of his mouth raised high and a smug smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. My current misfortune is only temporary. When the people are in chaos, Fu Zhun will be overwhelmed. Then Your Majesty can march all the way to the capital and succeed!"

After hearing this, the King of Beihu glanced at the man with a smile and slowly raised the wine glass in his hand.

"You can be so cruel to your own people. Aren't you afraid that if this matter is exposed in the future, the people will hate you?"

"No one can be a hero without ruthlessness. When Fu Zhun besieged the city, how could they help me? Since they are unkind, you can't blame me for being unjust. What's more, I did this for the sake of the Great Chu. Their deaths are worth it."

Chu Yi also raised his wine glass, raised his eyebrows, and brought it to his lips.

After watching Chu Yi finish the wine in the glass, the King of Beihu raised his head and drank the wine. Then he slammed the glass in his hand on the table and laughed.

"You're right. To maintain the country, sacrifices are inevitable. It doesn't matter if a few die."

As he spoke, he bowed to Chu Yi and said with a smile.

"Then I would like to congratulate us in advance on our happy cooperation."

There was another round of drinking.

After chatting for a long time, the sound of stringed instruments began to sound all around, and a Northern Hu dancer in light clothing began to dance in front of them. The two men then began to appreciate the dance in silence.

However, as he looked through these dancers, the King of Beihu couldn't help but think of Su An.

If this plan succeeds, once the King of Zhenbei falls, wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to kidnap Su An back?

Thinking of this, his heart was burning with passion and he drank several glasses of wine before he finally gave up.

Since He Cheng's death, the people in the city drank water from the moat every day, and toxins invaded their bodies.
