Pei Zhi was never good at comforting her, so he just patted the little girl on the shoulder and teased: "What are you worried about? I don't pay attention to this matter."
He has been with His Majesty for the past two months, and there have been constant assassinations and accidents. For these things, he really feels that they are nothing.
Jiang Li took a breath and calmed down, then continued: "Of course I know that third brother is powerful."
Her eyes were very sincere, and she looked straight at him: "But I was really worried just now."
Pei Zhi's heart softened when he heard this. The little girl's words always touched the depths of his heart.
The people in the carriage were already a little unsteady. Knowing that the young master in front of them had saved them, they hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, young master, for the rescue."
After saying this, he was about to take off the money from his waist and hand it over to the two of them: "Young Master saved my life today. I cannot thank you enough for this small amount of money. I hope you will accept it."
He had something urgent to do and had to leave the city today. He didn't expect this horse to run rampant like crazy. This was a lively and prosperous place. If this young master had stopped him like this in time, he simply couldn't imagine the consequences.
Pei Zhi said nothing. When Jiang Li saw him taking out the money, he refused: "This is not why my brother saved you."
Besides, the last thing my family needs is money.
After the middle-aged man heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Miss, you have misunderstood me. It's just that I really have something to do today, otherwise I will treat you two well."
After saying this, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "If something happens in the future, take this jade pendant to Helou and give it to the shopkeeper. Someone will help you."
Crane Tower?
Jiang Li only felt that the name was somewhat familiar. She looked at the person in front of her and finally felt a little familiar.
She remembered that this so-called Crane Tower would become famous in the next two years.
In his previous life, Pei Zhi also spent a lot of effort to conquer this force.
Unexpectedly, by chance, I would meet him in advance. This jade pendant is equivalent to a promise given by Helou.
She took two steps forward, took the jade pendant in her hand, and said, "My brother is a kind-hearted person. He doesn't want anything in return for this kind of thing. You don't have to worry about it."
"As long as you can remember the goodness of my brother in the future."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This is natural."
Pei Zhi folded his hands and looked at the little girl's seriousness, which made him feel a little funny.
Jiang Li looked at the person in front of him and said, "Since it's urgent, sir, please go quickly. Don't delay."
After the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded. The driver who was thrown off the horse also caught up. After the two met, they drove the carriage away again.
After the matter was over, the people surrounding him dispersed.
Jiang Li took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it from side to side, but didn't see any clues, so he handed it to Pei Zhi beside him.
Pei Zhi took it and played with it in his hand.
Jiang Li asked with a face full of credit: "Third brother, what do you think of this jade pendant?"
"good."
The material is ordinary, but the workmanship is quite exquisite. There seems to be a mystery hidden in the small jade pendant.
Jiang Li said solemnly: "Third brother, you have to keep this jade pendant, maybe it will be of great use in the future."
Pei Zhi looked at the little girl's serious look and said in amusement, "How do you know?"
When Jiang Li heard this, her almond-shaped eyes rounded, and she said in disbelief: "Third brother, don't you believe me?"
Pei Zhi felt cute when he saw the little girl's appearance. He put the jade pendant around his waist and said with a smile in his voice: "Of course I believe it."
Could it be that the little girl was speaking so firmly to herself because of her dream?
Time passed quickly, and people on the street slowly left. Jiang Li naturally knew that it was time for the third brother to leave, but she still felt reluctant to leave, and kept holding Pei Zhi's hand.
"Third brother, when the people around His Majesty came here before, they said that you would come back at the end of the New Year. Now it is only half a month before the end of the year. On what day will the third brother come back?"
It would be nice if she could come back this time instead of leaving. Jiang Li only felt a little astringent in her heart.
She clearly understood that even if the third brother really came back at this time, he would still have to accompany His Majesty and leave as soon as the new year was over.
In his previous life, he had stayed with the Jiang family for five years, but now he has been with His Majesty for only three years. Many things have really changed.
Then their Jiang family will definitely not be like their previous life.
Pei Zhi said: "It will take a few days, but I can't say for sure."
When the time comes, he has something to give Jiang Li as her birthday gift. How could the little girl who put the treasure in his hands really not prepare anything at all.
Jiang Li was a little disappointed when he heard this. It seemed that the third brother didn't know what day it was.
She pretended to be strong: "It doesn't matter. I'm already very happy that Third Brother can come back and stay with me today."
When her third brother didn't come back before, she didn't miss him that much, but now when she thought of the two of them being separated, her reluctance became a lot stronger.
Pei Zhi looked at her like this and chuckled: "Can't you bear to leave me?"
Jiang Li nodded without hesitation. She couldn't bear to part with her third brother. Didn't she put it all on the surface? Third brother really wanted to make fun of herself.
Jiang Li was about to say something when she saw two figures passing by not far away, so she took back what she was about to say.
It was Yuan Jing and his two men.
Hua Yue usually had a loud voice, but for some reason at this time, her face was slightly red. As soon as she came over, she came to Jiang Li's side, as if she was avoiding Yuan Jing.
When Yuan Jing saw this, he didn't say anything. He just stood next to Pei Zhi and said, "Azhi, it's almost time. It's time for us to leave."
Jiang Li keenly sensed something was wrong between the two of them, but at this juncture, she didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Bai also appeared behind several people at this time, not too far or too close.
Jiang Li said: "Third brother, you should leave quickly."
Pei Zhi hummed, and Yuan Jing went to the broken bridge and pulled out the two horses.
After the two got on their horses, Jiang Li said again: "Third brother, you have a good journey."
Yuan Jing's eyes fell on Hua Yue, and Hua Yue just took two steps back to the side, as if she didn't feel his gaze.
Yuan Jing raised his riding whip, whipped out instantly, raised the horse's hooves high and turned to leave.
Pei Zhi nodded: "Go back early." Then he raised his whip and left in the direction of Yuan Jing.
