Jiang Ling raised her hand and patted his head gently, her voice gentle but firm: "Yes, but before that, we need a play. Once the play is done, we will naturally catch it."
Jiang Sheng hummed, and when he noticed the hand on his head, he felt a little uncomfortable: "General, don't pat my head, it will make me grow taller."
"Puchi, you're still young and can grow taller."
"...I can, but I've been weak since I was a child, so I guess growing taller is going to be difficult. General, please stop patting me on the head. If I don't grow taller, I'll cry."

Three days passed in a flash
Jiang Sheng usually stayed in the reclaimed land and returned to the military camp from time to time. He didn't expect to see something unexpected on this day.
Seeing the crowds of people from afar, driven by curiosity, he also moved over and jumped a few times, but he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
The next moment, my body suddenly flew into the air. My heart tightened and I subconsciously grabbed anything I could around me.
Then he heard a gasp and looked down: "...Second General, why are you holding me up? This is so disgraceful, you should put me down immediately."
Jiang Ziang's hair was pulled so hard that it hurt. He grimaced and said, "Let go, or you're going to pull my hair out."
"I was just trying to help you see more clearly, but why are you pulling my hair? Don't worry, I'm holding you, I won't let you fall."
Jiang Sheng sat on his strong arms, just like when he was a child. His second brother was tall and strong, and he used to like to hold him like this.
As the memories of his childhood came to mind, he relaxed completely, loosened his grip on his hair, and turned his head to look inside.
I saw an old general being forced to kneel on the ground, with whips lashing him. People around him were whispering, "What's going on? Why are they arresting General Wang?"
"...It seems that General Wang wanted to kill that soldier to silence him. He was in cahoots with the soldier, and the soldier poisoned the assassin, who was the same person who had previously assassinated the young general."
"Brother, this is so confusing, what's going on?"
The man seemed a little impatient. He rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "How stupid! There's a spy here. General Wang is the spy. He sent the assassins, and the soldiers are also his men."
"If you're afraid of giving yourself away, why don't you just go and kill the soldiers? Brother, you should read more books if you have nothing to do. You're so stupid."
When Jiang Sheng heard the discussions, he stared at General Wang, who had a straight back and a righteous look on his face. He always felt that he was not the spy.
If it was so easy to be tricked, why would all his efforts in his previous life have been in vain?
Thinking of the young general's words again, his eyes changed. Drama, is this a drama? Is it to deceive the spies behind the scenes? Then he would wait and see.
Sure enough, not long after, another person was pushed up.
Jiang Ziang was a little stunned, muttering, "Military Advisor Zhou, why did they arrest him? Big Brother, is he confused? How could he be a spy?"
Jiang Sheng stared at the military advisor, whose face had always been smiling. At this moment, it was still smiling, and he looked calm and fearless.
Soon Jiang Ling took out something and handed it directly to him.
The military advisor, who was originally smiling gently, seemed to be provoked. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed it towards Jiang Ling's heart, but someone grabbed his wrist halfway.
"Military Advisor, is it hard to hide?"
Zhou Wenshan looked at him expressionlessly. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I am not as skilled as you and I accept the loss. I am willing to die, but my family is innocent."
"Innocent, who isn't innocent? What bargaining chip did that person give you to make you betray your father and kill me?"
"...People always strive for higher positions. What's my fault? The Jiang family's lifespan has come to an end. All I can do is protect myself. What right does the young general have to blame me?"
Jiang Ling raised his hand and pressed his acupoints, then had him tied up and handed over to his father for disposal. He walked up to General Wang and personally helped the man up.
"I'm sorry, General Wang, for forcing you to do this scene."
"Are you sure it's him?"
"Um."
General Wang sighed, his eyes complicated. "Old Zhou has been with us for twenty years. What good would it do him to betray the Marshal? There must be someone behind this."
Jiang Ling lowered her eyes and whispered, "Perhaps. It's not that important now. Once the spies are caught, we can just do a big purge."
"Go down and treat your wound first. When General Father returns, I will personally report to him that offending General Wang today was indeed my fault."
"It's okay. What's wrong with wanting to catch the person who killed you? Besides, this matter is my fault. I shouldn't have had a few drinks with Lao Zhou and went to find the soldier when my mind was not clear."
General Wang's wound hurt, so he went to find a military doctor slowly.
Jiang Ling turned and went into the dungeon. He came out after a long time. His white robe was stained with blood. This man was like a sharp dagger, and people dared not look directly at him.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziang wanted to go forward and ask if there was anything he could do to help, but was stopped by Leng Feng halfway.
"Second Young Master, the eldest young master said that you are not allowed to interfere in this matter, let alone get close to it."
After saying that, he looked up at Jiang Sheng and said in a cold voice, "Of course, the same goes for Doctor Mo. Without the order from the eldest master, you are not allowed to get close to him."
They both responded: “……!”
"Put me down, I'm going to open up the wasteland."
Seeing this, Jiang Ziang put the man down and said in confusion, "You're not going to watch the fun anymore. Big brother must be making a big move. Why are you going to open up wasteland?"
Jiang Sheng looked at his dumbfounded second brother, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "Second General, I think you'd better hide too. The spy has been caught, and the next step is to purge and kill."
"There might be a lot of people you know in there. If you really want to watch them get killed, you might as well hide away. Out of sight, out of mind."
"...Brother, you won't kill the wrong person if you do that, right?"
"Not really. The Major General has always been cautious. Anyone who can be killed by him must have problems. I have no interest in watching people being killed. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Ziang looked at the person running away, touched his chin, and followed him.
When the eldest brother kills someone, he must not be in a good mood. He is an eyesore here. What if he gets angry? It is better for him to run away.
Seeing that the two men had left tactfully, Leng Feng turned around holding the sword.
In the next few days, people died every day, and the atmosphere in the military camp became somewhat stagnant. Everyone was trembling with fear, fearing that they would be the next.
After Jiang Ling cleaned up the imperial court, or more precisely, the emperor, and planted spies in the military camp, he stopped and waited quietly for his father to return.
The father and son stayed in the tent for a long time.
Jiang Baichuan's hands trembled as he stared at the signed testimony. Pain was evident in his eyes, "So, the previous Xiao staff member was also murdered."
"Oh, so this is where the problem lies. If I had checked more carefully, would I have..."
Jiang Ling said calmly, "No, the trap is so intertwined that it's not that easy to unravel, not to mention that the person behind it is that person, and he promised them a lot of benefits."
"Is the Jiang family's fate about to end?"
"Haha, let's wait and see who's about to meet his end."
