Although Xie Yi was still a little uneasy, seeing that the two of them had said so, he could only sigh and say, "Let's do it the way you want."
"Zhao Zuoling, command of all the city's garrison troops is now entrusted to the Princess and Lord Lu. You will assist them and ensure the plan tonight proceeds smoothly."
After saying that, he waved to everyone in the hall.
As everyone inside the room dispersed.
Prefect Chen, however, looked anxious and paced back and forth. "Your Highness, why don't you stop the Princess and Lord Lu? If they really deal with the river bandits and the city guards together tonight as the Princess said, it will be disastrous if one of them makes a mistake."
Weizhou City will immediately be plunged into crisis.
Neither the river bandits nor the people of Xiliang were easy to deal with.
No matter how powerful Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian are, how can they possibly restrain both sides at the same time? Isn't that just a joke?
Unfortunately, the prince agreed, which means something truly terrible is about to happen in Weizhou City.
Xie Yi simply waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I want to trust them this once."
Weizhou is currently caught in a pincer movement. If they don't make the first move, neither the river bandits nor the Xiliang people will let them go.
Since that's the case, why not give it a shot?

After a quick meal, Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian decided to go to the city's training ground.
After all, we're going to launch a night raid on the Xiliang army camp tonight, so we should at least pick out the right people.
To their surprise, as soon as they opened the door, they were met with Lin Yan'an's face covered in makeup, which startled them both.
But Lin Yan'an was completely oblivious.
He was wearing a light purple floral dress, holding a round fan in one hand and pressing the other hand against his cheek. To an unfamiliar person from afar, he did indeed appear somewhat like a woman with a touch of shyness.
Before Jiang Yimian could speak, Lin Yan'an winked at her forcefully and said in a high-pitched voice, "Little sister Jiang, do you think I'm pretty?"
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, which gave Jiang Yimian goosebumps. Startled, she quickly hid behind Lu Cijian and cried out in alarm, "Don't come any closer!"
Lin Yan'an seemed quite normal on ordinary days, but he became a completely different person as soon as he put on women's clothes, which really frightened her.
Lin Yan'an, however, pretended not to notice Jiang Yimian's speechlessness, lifted her skirt and walked towards her, reaching out to put his hand on Jiang Yimian's shoulder, "Sister Jiang, say something!"
However, before he could even touch anyone, his hand was blocked by a dagger, stopping abruptly just an inch from Jiang Yimian's shoulder.
Lu Cijian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Don't come out and scare people."
Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Yimian burst out laughing, but even Liu'er and Wang San, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh as well.
Liu'er laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Lin Yan'an was quite angry, and said with a displeased look, "You surnamed Lu, are you jealous that I look better than you when I dress up as a woman? How am I scary?"
"I'm so beautiful, even Liu'er says I'm suited to women's clothing. Stop talking nonsense, move aside and let Sister Jiang admire me."
Lu Cijian used only a dagger to separate Lin Yan'an and Jiang Yimian, and casually said, "Yes, yes, I'm jealous of how pretty you look in women's clothing. Go have some fun."
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Yimian and dodged Lin Yan'an's clutches, heading straight for the training ground.
Even from a great distance, you could still hear Lin Yan'an's unwilling voice.
Jiang Yimian couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Lin Yan'an's attire. To be honest, Lin Yan'an was quite good at dressing up as a woman.
Aside from being a bit too tall and a bit affected, he really doesn't look like a man.
Thinking about it, she only looked at the person next to her.
The young man was tall and slender, quite tall even among men.
In addition, with his clear and bright face, he would stand out in a crowd.
Jiang Yimian believed that if Lu Cijian dressed up as a woman, he would be beautiful, definitely the kind with a heroic air.
Just as she was thinking, she unexpectedly met those deep black eyes, which made her feel a little guilty. She accidentally knocked over a vase in the corridor.
With a loud "bang," the vase hit the railing beside it, but thankfully it didn't break.
The white flowers inside were trembling and swaying.
Lu Cijian stopped in his tracks, looked down at the person in front of him, and said with a hint of helplessness, staring at her feet, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious? Doesn't your foot hurt?"
Jiang Yimian subconsciously replied, "I was thinking that you would look good if you dressed as a woman."
After saying that, he realized something was wrong.
When she looked up, she met Lu Cijian's meaningful eyes.
Jiang Yimian quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just felt..."
"You think I'm good-looking?" Lu Cijian stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms, a smile playing on his lips.
Those peach blossom eyes were fixed intently on the person in his arms, and his tone carried a faint smile.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, her face flushing from the intense gaze.
Lu Cijian looked down at the person in his arms and asked earnestly, "What do you like most about me, Mianmian?"
As he spoke, he moved a little closer.
The two were very close.
Jiang Yimian felt uncomfortable under that intense gaze and lowered her head, trying to push the person in front of her away.
Lu Cijian didn't give her that chance. He wrapped his large arm tightly around her waist, turned his head to meet her gaze, and said in a low voice, "What does Mianmian like about me?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Cijian only asked, "Eyes?"
As he spoke, his hand with its distinct knuckles gently covered her eyes.
Jiang Yimian remained silent.
Lu Cijian merely chuckled and continued, "Nose, mouth? Or..."
