Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 38 I’ll find you later

The two of them walked for another tea time. Pei Zhizhao walked steadily. Jiang Xihe lay on his shoulder and saw two streams of sweat flowing down Pei Zhizhao's neck. He bit his lower lip nervously. Jiang Xihe apologized, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Along the way, Jiang Xihe asked him to leave several times, but Pei Zhizhao stubbornly carried her forward and walked quickly. No matter what Jiang Xihe said, he remained indifferent and would never let go.

Jiang Xihe struggled several times and finally gave up. She couldn't walk anymore.

An Anxin lay on Pei Zhizhao's back, Jiang Xihe also figured out that she took the risk to come to Qingfeng Village to find him, and this journey would be considered as compensation from him.

But he was so tired, and he was still the county magistrate after all, so Jiang Xihe could not help but feel flustered.

After walking for a while, when Jiang Xihe could see the pedestrians on the official road, he pointed happily into the distance, "Sir, we are out."

Jiang Xihe couldn't see his expression, but she admired him in her heart. At first, she was really afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to get out. How did Pei Zhizhao not get lost in the mountains and forests?

Jiang Xihe's joy was infected by Pei Zhizhao, and he slowed down and asked sideways, "Why did you say that people gathered at the county government just now?"

Jiang Xihe then started talking about the heavy rain night, and then talked about the solution she and Han Fang came up with, focusing on Yang Guangkun and others, "When I came, the water in the west of the city had receded. If everything goes well, the situation will be better now." .”

Jiang Xihe felt Pei Zhizhao's arm holding her legs tighten.

"Master Pei, it's official time, please put me down." Jiang Xihe couldn't wait.

Pei Zhizhao looked around and found a flat place to stand. Jiang Xihe quickly jumped down from his back.

The two people faced each other, looking at each other and looking away at the same time.

They all saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

The black mark on Pei Zhizhao's face disappeared without knowing when. When he was carrying her, Jiang Xihe could only see the sweat stains on his neck. Now that they were face to face, Jiang Xihe discovered that Pei Zhizhao's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

Is she too heavy?

Jiang Xihe lowered his head, and his words of gratitude seemed empty. He wanted to take out the embroidered handkerchief and hand it to him, but Jiang Xihe felt ambiguous again, so he pretended to look into the distance without saying anything.

"This rain was an accident." Pei Zhizhao wiped his sweat with his sleeves, with a hint of embarrassment between his brows.

Jiang Xihe calmed down and asked the question she most urgently wanted to know, "Why was Mr. Pei arrested by the boss?"

"When I returned yesterday, it was raining heavily. The pedestrians in front of me mistakenly fell into the trap set by Qingfeng Village. I had already planned to clear this place, so I pretended to be caught and came here to take a look at the terrain." Pei Zhizhao's eyes showed a certain determination to win.

Thinking of the letter, Jiang Xihe suddenly blushed and muttered in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "Why did Mr. Pei write such a letter?" She didn't have the nerve to ask, why did she still use the title of lady?
  Pei Zhizhao looked at her deeply and said, "I only have Han Fang as my confidant, and he is obviously not suitable."

These words revealed Pei Zhizhao's trust in her. Jiang Xihe was excited, but still a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's completely okay for you to call me sister."

Jiang Xihe lowered his eyes, whether this matter is big or small, "What if someone knows about this in the future, how will Mr. Pei explain it?"

Pei Zhizhao raised his eyebrows, "Explain what?"

"I have a bad reputation. Sir Pei calls me "lady". People who know are just making fun of me. People who don't know are gossiping. People will talk about me." Jiang Xihe didn't know why, but she cared about the word "lady" very much.

"The Korean side won't put you in trouble, and I won't, but it's you. If I do this, will it tarnish your reputation?"

Pei Zhizhao spoke sincerely, but Jiang Xihe comforted him, "My reputation is not good to begin with. Lord Pei doesn't need to mind."

Jiang Xihe wanted to say that it’s best if your future wife doesn’t mind, so let’s do it this time.

Pei Zhizhao looked up at the sky where the dark clouds had dispersed, and when he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a flash of sadness in Jiang Xihe's eyes.

Ok?
  He didn't know that at this moment Jiang Xihe was thinking that she was destined to be alone in this world, and everyone would leave her.

For a long while, Jiang Xihe suppressed the bitterness in his eyes and asked, "Master Pei, how do we go back?" Pei Zhizhao turned around to face the mountain forest, put his thumb and index finger into his mouth in a circle, and a whistle echoed clearly in the mountains, repeated several times, continuously. The roar of horses came from the rolling mountain forest.

Not a moment later, a black horse galloped from the official road.

Jiang Xihe was stunned, "Is this Lord Pei's horse?"

Pei Zhizhao nodded, "It's called blizzard. If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, I might not have turned to Qingfeng Village to explore the road. Now I've delayed a lot of things."

Blizzard ran up to Pei Zhizhao, wagging his tail and roaring to the sky.

Pei Zhizhao flicked its mane and thanked Jiang Xihe, "You helped me a lot. You are very smart. Thank you for the county government. I will thank you again when this matter is over."

Just when Jiang Xihe was about to be polite, Pei Zhizhao grabbed her arm and put her on the horse off guard. By the time Jiang Xihe reacted, Pei Zhizhao had already climbed onto the horse and sat firmly behind her.

"I'm sorry, hold on tight, let's go back quickly."

Jiang Xihe was confused and confused, and his heart almost burst out of his chest.

Mr. Pei······

Pei Zhizhao's strong arm was right in front of her heart, and the warm breath of his words was right next to her ears. Jiang Xihe was extremely confused.

She had just sorted out the confusing emotions when he carried her behind his back just now. How should she face this...?
  The horse started running faster and faster. Jiang Xihe felt the trees receding to both sides, the wind was blowing, and the cool moisture could not reduce the heat on her face.

Jiang Xihe could only hope in his heart that the horse would run faster and faster.

When they were approaching the city gate, Jiang Xihe patted Pei Zhizhao's arm. The strong arm in front of her rubbed her waist and tightened the reins. The horse came down quickly. Jiang Xihe tilted his head, and Pei Zhizhao's heavy eyebrows were close at hand.

"Master Pei, please let me down."

Pei Zhizhao let his horse go slowly and took a few steps forward before tightening the reins.

Pei Zhizhao turned over and dismounted. Jiang Xihe stopped on the horse, in a dilemma.

Along the way, Master Pei always kept a distance from her. Even if Jiang Xihe was in front of him, he would just put his arms around her and keep a safe distance from her.

The horse was going very fast, and he tightened his strength at several dangerous points, his arms brushing her slender waist tightly without exceeding the limit.

Jiang Xihe's heart was in turmoil, and this feeling made her at a loss what to do.

While he was thinking wildly, Pei Zhizhao stretched out his arms, held Jiang Xihe's arm and lifted her off the horse. This time, she smelled the earthy smell on his body. Thinking of herself, Jiang Xihe blushed again. Since yesterday, she had Without washing his face and experiencing such a day again, Jiang Xihe wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

The city gate is not far away, and people are coming in and out one after another.

Jiang Xihe saw a tired look in Pei Zhizhao's eyes.

Jiang Xihe said softly, "Master Pei, you go ahead. I'll go home and check the situation first. If the water recedes, the house will have to be tidied up."

Pei Zhizhao's eyes were heavy, "If you can't do it at home, remember to come to the county government office."

With these words behind him, Pei Zhizhao got on his horse. Before leaving, he looked back at Jiang Xihe and said, "I'll find you later."

Until he entered the city, Jiang Xihe was still stunned.

Cover your face, it's so hot.
