Zhao Cheng glared at him coldly and said, "What are we going to do? I warned you before not to bring any more women from those fishing villages to the island. Did you idiots listen?"
Upon hearing this, the bandits present all trembled involuntarily.
Chen Li felt a little guilty and stood aside without daring to speak.
Little did he expect that Prince Jin, who had always looked down on them, would suddenly come up with such a method.
Zhao Cheng glanced coldly at everyone before saying, "Since Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian are also in Weizhou City, I will definitely annihilate them in one fell swoop this time."
Anyway, these two are both troublemakers, ruining so many of King Chu's plans. I will make sure they suffer a terrible death.
Go tell those 20,000 elite soldiers to get ready, and everyone in the village to be on high alert. We're about to have a big battle with you.
After dealing with those who came to the island, we'll storm into Weizhou City and take the entire city.
Originally, he did not intend to expose the 20,000 elite troops on the island, but since Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian were there, he would make sure that the two of them died without a burial place.
If it weren't for these two people repeatedly ruining the King of Chu's plans, the throne would have been his long ago.
They didn't even have to leave the capital, as years of preparations in the Great Jin Dynasty were destroyed in an instant.
Not to mention that it has also caused the King of Chu to be recovering from his injuries.
It's time to settle both old and new scores.
Chen Li hesitated, "What should we do about the Xiliang soldiers outside the city?"
If they were to preemptively wage war against Weizhou, the Xiliang people would take Weizhou without lifting a finger, which would not be a good thing for them.
Zhao Cheng merely snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the Prince of Jin wouldn't dare send all his troops to suppress the bandits; there must still be more than half left in the city."
"Go, inform Zawu and his men to attack the city directly. I refuse to believe that with both sides attacking simultaneously, we can't handle a small Weizhou."
The prince has suffered so much; he will surely make those two pay for it today.

At this time, outside Weizhou City.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian and the others were about to rush into the woods, Zha Wu angrily shouted, "Men, hurry up and grab that bitch! Charge! I will make sure she dies here today!"
Upon seeing this, the lieutenant immediately shouted, "Guards! Guards! Capture the assassin and protect the general!"
The shouts and urgent bugle calls from this side eventually made the soldiers guarding the grain rations waver a little.
After hesitating for a while, most of them left and ran towards Zhawu.
Seeing that there were many more people on this side, Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief, stopped running away, and turned around to continue fighting with these people.
Seeing this, Zawu just sneered, covered his still burning eyes, and glared at the person opposite him, saying angrily: "Run! Why aren't you running? You dare to poison me, I think you don't want to live anymore."
Do you think Weizhou City will have a chance to survive if I die? Hahaha, that's a joke.
I'm telling you, it's impossible.
"Come on, all of you, charge! Let all these bastards who dare to provoke my Xiliang army die here!"
Upon hearing this, the Xiliang soldiers who rushed over all shouted and brandished their curved swords, slashing at Jiang Yimian and her group.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian showed no fear at all. Instead, she smiled, her eyes filled with mockery. "Whether Weizhou City has a way out or not should have nothing to do with the general."
However, I think the general should focus on treating the poison in his body, otherwise he might really die.
As she spoke, she held a Xiliang man's curved sword in one hand and a curved dagger in the other, slashing directly at the soldiers.
Instantly, all the soldiers who had just approached fell to the ground.
For a moment, this made many Xiliang soldiers feel somewhat apprehensive.
Seeing this, Zha Wu just snorted and sneered, "A little poison can't stump me. We in Xiliang have the best witch doctors."
You just wait. Don't think that just because I'm poisoned, Weizhou can defeat the Xiliang army and those people can live a good life. Dream on.
Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. With so many Xiliang advance troops, do you think you have any chance of survival?
"Come on, all of you, charge! Kill these men! After we take Weizhou City, there will be a reward of one hundred taels of silver!"
Upon hearing this, the Xiliang soldiers, who had initially been hesitant, became excited and began to vigorously swing their swords at Jiang Yimian and her companions.
For a moment, Jiang Yimian and her group were caught off guard.
Upon seeing this, the twins rushed forward to protect Jiang Yimian in the center. Even though they were still injured, they showed no intention of backing down, their eyes filled with determination.
"Princess, you go first. Leave this to us. We will protect you."
Although they knew from the beginning that the trip would be difficult, they still came.
Besides wanting to see if he could actually complete that unlikely task, he also wanted to protect the princess.
They were all people who had fought alongside the princess and Lord Lu that night, and they knew how capable the princess was and admired her bravery.
Even if they fail tonight, in their hearts the princess is still very powerful.
Having the courage and spirit to lead 300 men to fight against 70,000 Xiliang people is far more impressive than those city guards who haven't been on the battlefield for a long time.
It is an honor for them to be able to work hard with such people.
As she watched the city guards surround her and block the attacks of the Xiliang people, Jiang Yimian only frowned.
Her scimitar moved without pause, instantly decapitating the Xiliang man who was trying to attack the twins before she said, "Protect yourselves and remember our mission. I don't need you to protect yourselves with your bodies."
As he spoke, he broke through the protective circle of the group and charged to the front to fight with the Xiliang people.
The twins were all taken aback. Their confidence, which had been scattered, inexplicably regrouped after hearing Jiang Yimian's words.
Yes, they need to believe they can complete this mission.
The princess is so determined; they cannot hold her back.
Thinking this, they swung their longswords even harder.
But the number of people from Xiliang kept increasing, eventually surrounding the group in the very center.
Not far away, a number of archers appeared, raising their bows and arrows to shoot at the group.
Jiang Yimian knew something was wrong and called out to the twins, "You guys go first."
Having said that, he took the curved knife in his hand and thrust it straight at the Xiliang man in front of him.
With a few slashes, a small path was successfully opened up in the encirclement.
Upon seeing this, the twins quickly leaped out of the encirclement.
Jiang Yimian was busy dealing with the Xiliang people who were surging up around her again. Just as she was about to break through the narrow path, the rain of arrows was already upon her.
Seeing countless arrows about to be shot at her, the twins who had finally escaped from the encirclement were all startled and terrified. They wanted to go in to save her, but it was already too late.
