Upon hearing this, the people inside the room all said, "Your Highness, those river bandits are far too rampant. We can no longer allow them to oppress the people and mock the city guards."
The great battle began last night, and these river bandits will enter Weizhou City sooner or later. We can't wait any longer; if we're attacked from both sides, Weizhou will only suffer more.
"Yes, Your Highness, we must first wipe out the river bandits. Otherwise, if we go to war with the Xiliang people again, and these people sneak into Weizhou City by waterway, the people in the city will really suffer."
Xie Yi hesitated slightly.
He knew everything these people were saying. Whether it was the river bandits or the Xiliang army, they were all formidable enemies to Weizhou City, especially now that it was besieged on both sides.
They must deal with one of them first before they can focus their efforts on the other.
However, Weizhou City has suffered heavy losses in the battle last night.
The remaining 5,000 men patrolling the small fishing village suffered heavy losses.
The loss of several thousand dollars made him hesitate.
The Weizhou City garrison was already outnumbered by the Xiliang army, and the loss of several thousand men last night only made him more constrained.
After a long silence, he finally looked at Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian, "Do Lord Lu and the Princess have any thoughts?"
If he thought the two men had ulterior motives yesterday, he now trusts them completely.
If these two really came to kill him, they had plenty of opportunities yesterday. Just the fact that they acted so calmly on the battlefield shows that they are far superior to him.
When he left the capital, besides not wanting to get involved in those struggles, another reason was that he knew he was no good at being an emperor.
Even if he were to actually sit in that position, he could never be a good emperor.
This idea became even more deeply ingrained in his mind after he arrived in Weizhou.
He struggled to manage even the small island of Weizhou, let alone a country.
If it weren't for the capable people around him over the years, and his own gradual discovery of enjoyment in the process, Weizhou would probably have been a complete mess.
Although Weizhou is currently in crisis, he doesn't want to give up this place he loves.
Weizhou may lack the hustle and bustle of the capital, but it possesses its own unique charm.
He watched Weizhou develop slowly, and it was his hard work; he didn't want to see Weizhou destroyed.
He believed that Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian were the same.
Since they share the same goal, he has nothing to hide anymore.
Jiang Yimian thought for a while before saying, "Your Highness should have heard about Lord Lin's method. I think that method is feasible."
Leave a village vacant so that the river bandits can plunder it.
"Let our men blend in with the girls, leave a mark for the city guards, and lead us to the bandits' lair."
Their biggest problem right now is that they know nothing about those river bandits, and those bandits are so cunning that it will be difficult for them to find their lair without using this method.
Xie Yi paused, hesitated for a long time before saying, "But this candidate..."
The soldiers guarding Weizhou City are all burly and strong; even if they were dressed as women, they would be recognized at a glance.
After all, no woman has such a strong face and a robust physique.
By then, not only will they be unable to infiltrate the bandits' lair, but their entire plan will also be exposed, and the bandits will never give them that chance again.
They only have this one chance, and they must succeed.
Just as Jiang Yimian was about to suggest that she could go, she heard Lu Cijian say calmly, "Lord Lin, the opportunity has come. Didn't you want to save the people from their suffering?"
Lin Yan'an was just feeling smug that his method had been adopted when he suddenly heard these words, and he spat out all the water he had just drunk.
He pointed at himself in disbelief, his eyes wide, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Me? You mean me?"
He's such a tall and imposing man, and if he tries to impersonate a woman, he'll be exposed very quickly. Besides, he doesn't know any martial arts!
If I really go, I'm afraid it will lead to bad things.
Lu Cijian looked at him and said seriously, "I think Lord Lin is just right."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Lin Yan'an.
Of all the men in the room, he was the most suitable. He had red lips and white teeth, and loved wearing red clothes. Apart from being a little tall, he would look quite convincing as a woman.
Lin Yan'an met those gleaming eyes and quickly covered himself to protect himself, saying in horror, "No, no, I did provide you with a good method, how come I have to get myself involved in this in the end?"
I don't know any martial arts. If I really went, I'd probably get killed by those river bandits.
Besides, those river bandits have seen me before.
If he gets recognized, he'll be skinned alive.
That guy surnamed Lu must have done it on purpose. No wonder he didn't mock me earlier; he was waiting here all along. What a despicable person.
You want to harm him? No way.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes instantly dimmed.
If Lin Yan'an is also unsuitable, then it will indeed be difficult to find a suitable person.
Xie Yi sighed and said helplessly, "I'll take another look and see who's more suitable."
Lin Yan'an coughed lightly and deliberately said, "No, Lord Lu said I'm suitable, and I think he's quite..."
Before she could finish speaking, she met his sharply defined face, and she couldn't bring herself to say the word "suitable".
Okay, even if this person wore women's clothing, you could tell at a glance that he was a man.
This person's appearance was simply too handsome and sharp, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, plus his height, making it impossible for him to act like a woman at all.
All things considered, he is indeed quite suitable.
If he could find the bandits' hideout, he could disguise himself as a woman.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu'er say, "Your Highness, I can go. I am a woman and I know martial arts. I can definitely protect myself."
This also gives me the opportunity to leave my mark on you.
Liu'er spoke earnestly, but everyone in the room fell silent, staring at her, a young girl, as they were reluctant to agree.
Although they thought Lin Yan'an's method was feasible, they never thought they would actually let a woman do such a dangerous thing.
Those river bandits were ruthless; they dared not even think about what the women would go through after being taken away.
Men suffer only physical pain and die easily, but women...
If this girl in front of them really got into trouble while trying to leave a mark for them, they would feel guilty.
Seeing that Liu'er wasn't joking, Jiang Yimian simply said, "I'll go with you."
She was really worried about Liu'er going alone, as those river bandits were all vicious and ruthless.
Moreover, they knew nothing about the bandits' lair, or even how many bandits there were. Sending Liu'er up there alone was far too dangerous.
It would be good for the two of them to go together so they could look after each other.
