The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Ji Yinghuai repeated "I'm very happy" twice, with a bright smile on his face that pierced Jiang Shian's eyes. He raised his hand to slap away the man's big hand that was pulling his hair, but it fell back to his knees.

Jiang Shian didn't look at Ji Yinghuai's face, he lowered his eyes and said, "Don't pull my hair all the time, what if I become bald?"

Ji Yinghuai carefully felt the soft touch of the hair passing through his fingertips, and reluctantly withdrew his hand.

The two sat close together, their knees touching when they opened their legs. Ji Yinghuai placed his hands on his knees, and if he moved a little closer, he would be able to touch Jiang Shian's fingertips.

Jiang Shian didn't know whether he didn't notice it or was deliberately letting it go.

He let Ji Yinghuai's hand move closer little by little until he completely held his hand in his palm.

The man's palm was a little hot. Jiang Shian curled his fingers and tried to break free, but they were immediately held tightly and wrapped in the rough palm.

Jiang Shian felt the back of his hand being worn away by his rough fingertips, and thought absentmindedly, I wonder what Ji Yinghuai did before? He looked like a nobleman, but his palms and fingertips were covered with calluses, a thick layer that should be caused by years of wear and tear when holding things.

Seeing that Jiang Shian did not refuse, Ji Yinghuai raised the corner of his mouth: "I told you before that I was murdered by someone, and my brothers in my family murdered me for money. It's not false."

Jiang Shian looked up at him, Ji Yinghuai's eyes darkened, and he continued, "It's just that my identity is a bit complicated, and I haven't finished dealing with the matter yet. I don't want to implicate you and bring you unnecessary danger. When I have dealt with it thoroughly, I will tell you everything, okay?"

Things have come to this point, and considering his safety, how could Jiang Shian not nod?

Ji Yinghuai groped the soft white fingers in his hand. The boy was not fat, but there were a few dimples on his fingers, which looked cute.

He was a little moved, but he couldn't show it on his face. He talked to Jiang Shian about another matter: "The people we sent out have reported back, and they have also investigated your eldest brother's situation these days, including how he came to the Lin family. Do you want to hear it?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Shian didn't care about the burning touch of his palms and the shyness brought by intimacy, and hurriedly asked: "How is my eldest brother?"

According to Daheng's imperial examination process and schedule, it was already autumn when the students from various universities rushed to Beijing to take the metropolitan examination after taking the provincial examination, and the final palace examination was also in late autumn and early winter.

If his parents hadn't done this, Jiang Wenjing should have been studying hard in Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. Now that several months have passed, it stands to reason that his elder brother should have received the news, but he didn't know what the situation was and he hadn't come back yet.

Their village was remote, and being able to pass the Tongshi exam was a great honor for the family, and the villagers would even call him "official master" when they saw him. As for the subsequent county exams, prefectural exams, and academy exams, the most they could afford was here.

They dared not even think about the imperial examinations and the palace examinations. After ten years of hard study, the cost of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone was already a considerable burden. Ordinary families could not afford to continue to support their children to go to such a far place to take the exams.

For them, being a scholar was the most honorable thing. They could earn a lot of money by teaching in the town academy or doing clerical work in the county government.

As such, Jiang Shian knew absolutely nothing about the news in the county city, let alone the capital.

This is because the business has grown now, and there are more merchants coming and going. When everyone sits together, they will chat more. He extracted some useful information from them, and the rest was all up to Ji Yinghuai to tell him.

Ji Yinghuai said: "Your elder brother is fine now. He was injured when he encountered bandits on the road. He is now recuperating at the Lin family."

Jiang Shian nodded, but the worry on his face did not diminish.

After resting for such a long time, he must have been seriously injured. Moreover, according to the original owner's memory, Jiang Wenjing always brought a lot of servants to guard the house when he went out. Now that his elder brother is like this, I guess the situation of those escorting people is not much better.

Jiang Shian frowned and asked, "Is Big Brother seriously injured? I...I want to go and take a look."

He now has a lot of silver in his hands, which should be enough for him to go to the capital. At least he can take a look at the situation of his elder brother on behalf of the original owner.

Ji Yinghuai patted his shoulder and said gently, "If you are really worried, you can write a letter first and I will have someone send it to you, but it is not appropriate for you to meet now."

Jiang Shi'an was puzzled, and Ji Yinghuai did not hide anything from him and told him what his subordinates had investigated.

The Huai'an area has always been peaceful, so how could bandits suddenly appear? Moreover, this period is the time when students from all over the country come to Beijing, and the court has already sent people to thoroughly check several nearby hills in advance.

The gangster suddenly appeared and then disappeared as quickly as before, as if he was targeting only one person.

After Jiang Shian told him about his elder brother, he sent people to investigate privately. Now he only found out that the other party had planned it in advance and suddenly appeared in that area, but disappeared after meeting Jiang Shian's elder brother. He didn't rob money but only wanted to kill people.

After Jiang Wenjing was rescued, the bandits suddenly disappeared again, and now their whereabouts are unknown. Jiang Wenjing was also lucky to meet the Lin family halfway up the mountain. If he had been a little later, he would have died.

Now he has managed to survive, but the injuries he suffered are serious: his leg is broken, his right arm is fractured, and he was stabbed in the chest. He has been resting for several months and is still in bed.

He didn't dare tell Jiang Shian all this, for fear that he would become overly worried and rush back to Beijing.

He was not sure whether the people who were plotting to harm Jiang Wenjing would target Jiang Shian, and it was not easy for his people to show up in public. His identity was sensitive and he could not personally accompany them to the capital, which was really worrying.

Jiang Shian was not a fool. He could guess what Ji Yinghuai could think of, so he nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll write a letter to my brother to let him know I'm safe and not to worry about me."

The Saker Falcon just flew away today and it is estimated that it will take a day or two to come back. As it is getting late today, he will write a letter tomorrow to inform Jiang Wenjing of his current situation.

Firstly, it was to tell Jiang Wenjing not to worry about him and to take good care of his injuries. Secondly, it was to exchange information. If this matter was not resolved, it would be like a knife hanging over one's neck, and it had to be investigated thoroughly.

Besides, Jiang Shian always felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who occupied the original body. How could he not do something?

After all, the original owner grew up with Jiang Wenjing, so he could still breathe a sigh of relief if they didn't meet now. But he didn't know if he could hide it if they met in the future, and how could he explain to the other party that his brother was dead.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a pair of warm hands on his forehead and he raised his head slightly.

Ji Yinghuai placed his big hand on his forehead, gently smoothing out the wrinkles between his brows, as if this could drive away the sadness in his heart.

Ji Yinghuai kept moving his hands and looked down at him: "Brother, I will help you keep an eye on this. I will inform you if there is any news."

Jiang Shian nodded. Didn’t he just call you elder brother? Why is he calling you that now?

"Thank you, Ji Er." Jiang Shian felt the tenderness of Ji Yinghuai's fingers across his eyebrows, and his tone softened.

The man's fingers touching his forehead were warm, and the strength was just right. Jiang Shian let the man massage him gently, and even the swelling and pain in his temples after a busy day was relieved a lot.
