Jiang Yimian looked at the person in front of her, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
She discovered it then.
If A-Jian hadn't suddenly mentioned Lin Yan'an, Prince Jin and the others wouldn't have thought of having Lin Yan'an impersonate a woman.
Lin Yan'an was a good candidate, but she didn't believe that the Prince Jin's mansion couldn't find a second person who could impersonate a woman.
Not to mention that for an ordinary person like him who doesn't know martial arts, the risk is too great.
Lu Cijian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I suspect that those river bandits are connected with the people of Xiliang, or rather, whether it is the sudden attack on Weizhou by the people of Xiliang or the river bandits, it is all related to the King of Chu."
Although this feeling came out of nowhere, he felt it was quite possible.
If the King of Chu hadn't fled to Xiliang, Xie Jingxuan wouldn't have been able to send so many people to search the entire Jin Dynasty without finding any trace of him.
The relationship between this person and the people of Xiliang does not seem to be a simple alliance.
He didn't believe that an alliance united by shared interests could go to such lengths.
It's really strange that Xie Yang values him so much, especially after Xie Yang has already lost his status as the King of Chu of the Great Jin Dynasty.
There was also news from Mo Ge that although they had not found the exact location of the bandits' lair, the bandits were quite large, and each time they went out, they only harassed the small fishing villages and robbed some food, which was quite strange.
It didn't seem like they were really short of food; rather, it seemed like they were deliberately luring some of the city's defenders there.
The fact that most of the city's defenders were killed or wounded last night clearly illustrates this point.
Those river bandits did it on purpose.
The soldiers who died defending other cities mostly died in small fishing villages.
Those river bandits were tying down the military forces of several nearby cities to prevent anyone from coming to support Weizhou City.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, her eyes filled with disbelief. "So you sent Lin Yan'an so that the bandits would recognize him, and ideally, lure out the King of Chu's men?"
Given the hatred the King of Chu harbored towards them, he would surely investigate everyone around them thoroughly, and naturally he would know of Lin Yan'an's existence.
Furthermore, when the Lin family's cargo ship was hijacked, the bandits had also seen Lin Yan'an.
If the bandits were truly connected to the King of Chu, they would surely recognize Lin Yan'an this time.
Lu Cijian nodded. "That was what I originally thought, but in the end Liu'er also left. She was someone close to you, and the King of Chu must know that."
Now that these two have decided to go together, they've created an even bigger target.
It will be easier for them to check the situation then.
Jiang Yimian frowned slightly. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have gone with you."
Lu Cijian must have discovered the unusual and dangerous nature of those river bandits to have done such a thing.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked letting Lin Yan'an become this live target.
Those river bandits might be more dangerous than the Xiliang people outside the city.
In that case, dealing with the Xiliang people can indeed be put on hold for now.
Lu Cijian just smiled, reached out and pinched Jiang Yimian's little face before saying seriously, "It's not as serious as you think. If you come with me to deal with the water bandits, what will happen to the Xiliang people outside the city?"
They will not surrender so easily; they will launch another attack soon. If you are not present, Prince Jin will be no match for them.
This is a place I've lived in for several years; I know it very well. I'll definitely deal with those people.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, and after a long while, she stared at the person in front of her and said, "After things are resolved, take me to see the place where you used to live."
I want to know about your past.
He wanted to know what Ah Jian had experienced here before, which made him feel uneasy ever since he came to Weizhou.
She wanted to know what he was like before he met her.
The girl tilted her head slightly and stared at him intently and persistently, which made him pause in surprise.
His past.
He didn't want Mianmian to know about his dark past at all.
The darkest level of the tower was filled with all sorts of vicious people, who fought and bit each other for a piece of food and water.
I still remember when he first entered the tower prison, he spent every day in fear.
He was afraid those people would go crazy, afraid they would eat him while he was asleep.
The bloody scene filled his mind, and he seemed to have returned to that time.
Seeing that Lu Cijian was deep in thought, his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Jiang Yimian was startled and quickly reached out to hug the person in front of her, saying worriedly, "Ah Jian, it's okay. If you don't want me to know, you can just not tell me."
It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll always be by your side.
She held the person in front of her tightly until she felt the person in her arms gradually stop trembling, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
But all they heard was Lu Cijian's hoarse voice saying, "Okay, Mianmian, I'll take you there after things are over in Weizhou."
Those things used to be taboo for him, but ever since he met Mianmian, he feels that those things were just to help him meet someone he likes.
If he had to go through those things to meet Mianmian, then he didn't think those things were anything to be ashamed of.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, looked up at him, shook her head, and said seriously, "No, if those things are wounds to you, you don't need to reopen them for me, do you understand, A-Jian?"
She wanted to know about A-Jian's past, but it was just curiosity; she didn't want to reopen his wounds.
Just because she wants to see it, Lu Cijian shouldn't tear open those wounds that have finally healed for her to see.
She can't be so selfish.
Lu Cijian smiled at the girl's earnest expression and pulled her into his arms. "Mianmian, when can I marry you?"
