Aguzan also put away his joking and gloating expression, staring at the people below and saying, "Something's strange. It seems there are more than just people from Xiliang in there."
As far as he knew, only a small portion of the Xiliang people had separated from Tuyuhun, which was just a small tribe. After so many years of development, it could barely be considered a small country.
But they were no match for the Tuyuhun, let alone the Great Jin.
When he first heard that the Xiliang people were stationed outside Weizhou City, he didn't really take it seriously, thinking it was just some minor skirmish.
After all, Xiliang had been at a disadvantage in its battles with Tuyuhun for the past few years. It was only because those people were fierce and bloodthirsty that they became like monsters on the battlefield, which made them feared.
Especially since things have been quiet for a while now, he had almost forgotten about these people.
But looking at the densely packed tents and people below, he felt a sense of crisis.
Jiang Yimian and the others all looked at him.
Liu'er asked curiously, "Besides the people from Xiliang, who else could be down there?"
Lu Cijian simply said, "There are also some Xia people."
The Xia people's attitude towards the Western Liang was already ambiguous, and now they have directly mingled with the Western Liang people, so they are probably already being devoured by the Western Liang.
Although Xiliang is only a small country, its strength on the battlefield should not be underestimated. Now that it has absorbed the Xia people, the next one may be Tuyuhun.
The Great Jin Dynasty may also be in danger.
These people's current goal is clearly Weizhou City.
Weizhou City is located by the sea with well-developed waterways, and it is not far from Tuyuhun. If they can take Weizhou, the people of Xiliang will not only gain rich land, but also a well-developed waterway.
At that time, the maritime transport of the Great Jin Dynasty will be completely cut off by the Western Liang.
It's just unknown whether the sudden move by the people of Xiliang, after years of recuperation, has anything to do with the King of Chu.
Aguzan nodded, "I underestimated these Xiliang people; they have completely devoured the Xia people."
If they capture Weizhou, Tuyuhun will likely be in danger.
Unfortunately, his foolish brother was still at war with the Great Jin Dynasty, completely unaware that someone was about to invade their homeland.
Jiang Yimian also sensed the seriousness in their words, and frowned as she stared at the people below.
But when his gaze fell on the different colored military uniforms worn by the people below, he asked curiously, "What do the colors of their military uniforms represent?"
Lu Cijian then looked down at the people below. Sure enough, most of them were wearing different military uniforms. It was only because of the armor covering them and the distance that he didn't notice them at first.
He frowned before saying, "Those colors represent the number of people from Xiliang who killed enemies on the battlefield."
Those qualified to wear different colored military uniforms were all vanguard troops of the Western Liang.
The vanguard of Xiliang has always been known for its bravery and bloodthirstiness, making them an absolute killing machine on the battlefield.
Their sudden arrival in Weizhou must be driven by a determination to massacre the city.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many advance troops.
Weizhou is now in real trouble.
Upon hearing this, Aguzan immediately squatted down and carefully examined the Xiliang people below, his brows furrowing more and more as he looked.
Sure enough, most of the military uniforms worn by these people were not the usual red, but various colors, with gray being the most common.
I heard that only those from Xiliang who had killed thousands of people on the battlefield were qualified to wear these.
He immediately said, "Weizhou is probably doomed now. If these Xiliang people really attack Weizhou City, it will fall very soon."
It wasn't that he didn't trust the city's garrison, but compared to the vanguard troops of Xiliang, those garrison troops, which had been neglected for many years, were really bullying them.
Jiang Yimian looked at the people below and felt a little worried.
The Southern Guards have not yet arrived. If they do, together with the garrison of Weizhou City, they will likely be able to put up a fight.
Unfortunately, they are unaware of the current situation inside the city, and there's no use in thinking about it from the outside.
Thinking it over, she looked at Lu Cijian and said, "Let's go into the city first, and we can talk about the rest after we meet Prince Jin."
Lu Cijian nodded; he shared the same thought.
There's no use in them being anxious outside the city; they should go inside first to understand the current situation before making any plans.
Aguzan, standing to the side, glanced at the two and asked curiously, "Weizhou City is now under lockdown, how are you going to get into the city?"
If you want to take the waterway into the city, you'll have to go around this mountain, which will take at least two or three days.
Lu Cijian simply said, "Come with me."
The group quickly followed, until they emerged from a hidden tunnel and were once again enveloped in the light of the outside world. They were still somewhat incredulous.
Wang San was somewhat stunned. "Young Master, how did you know there was a tunnel here?"
Even he, as a member of the Mo Pavilion, was unaware of this underground passage, let alone Lu Cijian.
Could it be...?
Thinking of something, he quickly lowered his head.
Aguzan looked around in surprise, and seeing the tall city tower not far behind him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Lord Lu seems to know this place very well, even knowing such a remote path."
There must be many stories in Weizhou City, but I wonder if the princess knows them.
"Princess, you'd better be careful from now on. Lord Lu seems to be hiding quite a few secrets."
His words were ambiguous, as if Lu Cijian was hiding something shameful in Weizhou.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said irritably, "Nobody let you in."
Aguzan clicked his tongue, somewhat dissatisfied, and was about to say something more when Lu Cijian glanced at him indifferently, "You're lucky to know. If the Second Prince is dissatisfied, he can go back."
Upon hearing this, Aguzan immediately shut his mouth, though he was somewhat displeased.
These two are really no fun. They are completely unaffected by his provocations, not only do they not give him any enjoyment, but they also constantly get roasted.
If he weren't still useful, he was sure those two would have been even more ruthless.
Well, now that they've entered the city, he's more curious about how Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian will deal with these Xiliang people.
If he can't deal with these Xiliang people, he probably won't be able to return to Tuyuhun alive, let alone anything else.
Thinking it over, he lost interest in chatting with the others and walked straight ahead.
Lu Cijian paused for a moment, staring blankly at the distant mountains.
Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Yimian reached out and squeezed his fingers, smiling as she asked, "What's wrong? Did Aguzan guess right? Do you really have some secret here?"
She was curious about why this person had been so absent-minded ever since they got closer to Weizhou.
Lu Cijian was taken aback, then shook his head, reached out and grasped her hand, smiling as he said, "Mianmian is overthinking it."
The young man spoke casually, with no extra expression on his face, but the hand he held was unusually cold, as if he was afraid of something.
Jiang Yimian noticed this and was about to ask a question when a group of city guards appeared not far away, holding long spears, and quickly surrounded the group.
The leader, a man with a full beard, looked at the group and shouted, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
