Chapter 187: Biting each other’s arms as a pledge and getting married secretly as soon as they meet?
He Zhaojun's face was heavy. She had originally thought that Peng Kun had discovered her, but it was not convenient to reveal her identity now. She was still thinking about how to make amends. She barely parried and dodged, but saw that the other party was a handsome young man in white with a high nose and deep eyes.
She looked the man up and down. He was really tall. Converted to today's height, he must be at least 185cm tall. It was a pity that he was very ruthless when beating people.
"Who are you?" He Zhaojun was hit on the shoulder by his fist, and her hand suddenly lost strength, but she still held the bamboo slips and refused to let go.
The man looked strange: "Who are you? I need this bamboo slip, it's very useful to me, let it go!"
"No, you let go first, or I'll scream and no one can leave!"
"Girls are really so unreasonable! Hiss... are you a dog?" Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain on his arm. He Zhaojun opened her mouth and bit his forearm.
But He Zhaojun was very disgusted and spat to the side: "Pooh, pooh, pooh!" She still held the bamboo slips in her hand and refused to leave.
This person obviously also wants evidence of Peng Kun's guilt, and I don't know his identity or whether he is an enemy or a friend. If I just leave and all the evidence is taken away by him, wouldn't that be very passive?
"Do you smell anything burnt?" He Zhaojun shrugged her nose. The other party also obviously felt something was wrong. The two looked around. During the fight just now, they accidentally knocked over the candlestick, and the window curtain was already on fire.
The two exchanged glances and simultaneously let go. You know, the front door was guarded, and they had entered the house through the window. Now that the window was sealed, how could they leave?
"My name is Li Fu, and my courtesy name is Zhengjun. What is the name of this lady?" Li Fu stood there, blankly touching his arm that was bitten by He Zhaojun.
He Zhaojun turned around in confusion, pointing at the growing fire. "Brother, do you think this is a good time to introduce ourselves? Besides, you and I are both thieves on the beam, so why do we need to exchange names?"
Li Fu took a look and saw He Zhaojun anxiously looking for other exits, holding a cushion beside her, trying to put out the fire.
"Danger!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled He Zhaojun back to his side. He saw that there was a black spot on her face. He carried her on his back without saying anything, kicked open the burning window, turned over and landed on the ground, took He Zhaojun out of the fire and hid out of the woodshed.
At this time, the courtyard was in chaos. Someone discovered a fire and shouted loudly. The servants and maids were busy putting out the fire with basins and bowls in their hands. No one noticed that the two of them had just survived the fire.
"I haven't asked for your name yet, young lady. Besides, what's the use of you wanting evidence of Peng Kun's guilt?" Li Fu held He Zhaojun tightly, as if he would not let her go unless she told him.
Nonsense, collecting evidence of treason, of course they want to report him, is it because they have nothing to do? He Zhaojun was speechless, and the lies came out of her mouth.
"My name is... Wang, Wang Zhaojun. I was married to Wang Yan. My daughter is Wenxiujun, the elder sister of the young Prince Gan'an. She suspected Peng Kun of embezzling money, causing him to suffer financial hardship, and sent me to investigate."
Li Fu nodded. "A while ago, the Li family caravan came to Shouchun to trade, but Peng Kun not only withheld their money but also imprisoned them. This time, I'm trying to get evidence of their crimes and negotiate terms with him in exchange for my family members."
No one wants to know these inside stories, okay? He Zhaojun tried to pull her sleeve out of his hand, but it was in vain. Li Fu looked at He Zhaojun with a serious expression.
"My Lady, my ancestors once predicted that my future bride would first bite my arm to form an alliance."
"Ah? So what?" He Zhaojun didn't understand for a moment how this man jumped from collecting evidence to becoming the future bride.
The next moment, Li Fu solemnly held up her forearm and started biting it.
