Zawu, however, was overjoyed and clapped his hands in delight, feeling that the pain in his eyes had lessened considerably.
The fact that this vile woman dared to poison him, and now that she has died a miserable death at the hands of the Xiliang people, only makes him feel a sense of satisfaction.
However, the person in the rain of arrows suddenly vanished into thin air the next second.
The dense rain of arrows not only failed to hit its target, but instead felled a large number of Xiliang people who had no time to take cover.
Zawu angrily cursed, "Useless! All of you are useless! Where are the people? Where did they go?"
The people of Xiliang were also shocked. Before they could react, the person who had disappeared suddenly reappeared in the crowd, holding a curved knife, and instantly cut off the heads of several people.
The Xiliang soldiers were startled by the sight before them and frantically hacked at the people who had suddenly appeared.
Jiang Yimian, however, skillfully dodged the attacks and used her curved blade to reap the lives of the Xiliang people.
Seeing many people fall to the ground, Zawu also snapped out of his shock and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Get them!"
"So you're the woman the King of Chu spoke of, the one who knows illusions? Very well, today I will make sure you die here."
He wasn't actually interested in killing this person.
But now that he has witnessed this person's prowess, he feels that this person must die.
Otherwise, whether it's the plans of the Western Liang people or the King of Chu, they will definitely be ruined by this person, and he must make sure this person dies here.
Jiang Yimian wasn't too surprised when she heard this.
The King of Chu and the people of Xiliang already had a close relationship, so it was not surprising that Zha Wu had heard of her from the King of Chu.
But now she feels something is wrong.
If the attack on Weizhou City by the Xiliang people was indeed a scheme by the King of Chu, then the enemy's preparations must have involved more than just these Xiliang people.
She had initially been skeptical of A-Jian's claim that the bandits were connected to the King of Chu, but now she had no choice but to believe that the bandits were also part of the King of Chu's plan.
Since the King of Chu had been planning for the Jin Dynasty for many years, subduing a group of river bandits was a trivial matter.
Now, bandits have suddenly rampaged through Weizhou City, and coincidentally, the Xiliang people have come to attack the city. This person's intentions should not be limited to Tuyuhun.
They might even be thinking of taking over all the coastal cities and dividing the Great Jin Dynasty in two.
If that's really the plan, then those river bandits can't possibly be what Zhao Zuoling and the others described—just a small, insignificant band of less than 20,000 men.
She did not believe that the King of Chu had planned for many years to hide less than 20,000 river bandits in this place.
Those bandits' hideouts might be in even greater danger.
Ah Jian might get into trouble.
Thinking of this possibility, she frowned slightly, dealing with the Xiliang people around her while looking at Zha Wu and deliberately probing, "I'm a little curious, you Xiliang people are so powerful, if you really take Weizhou City, how will you deal with those river bandits?"
Those river bandits were a major problem that had plagued Weizhou for several years.
This year, in particular, they have been extremely rampant, causing immense suffering to the people of the surrounding cities, not to mention the countless soldiers who have died defending the cities.
"You people from Xiliang, if you were to face them, you probably wouldn't stand much of a chance, would you?"
She wasn't sure if her guess was true or false, and now she could only confirm it with this person.
Upon hearing this, Zawu burst into laughter, staring intently at the man surrounded by the Xiliang people, unable to escape. He sneered, "Since you only have one path left—death—I'm not afraid to tell you."
Who said those river bandits were our enemies? Is it possible that they were our comrades?
Once we capture Weizhou City, those river bandits will not only avoid fighting us, but they will also happily move into Weizhou City with us, and even join us in capturing more cities.
Xie Yang said you were a cunning and intelligent woman, but now it seems you're nothing special. Someone the King of Chu can't handle, I, Zha Wu, will make sure you die here today.
Having said that, he snatched the broadsword from the person next to him and charged straight at Jiang Yimian.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian not only did not dodge or avoid, but went straight to meet him, a smile appearing on her lips.
"General, you probably don't know this, but my poison will slowly spread throughout your entire body."
You might not think there's anything wrong now, but it won't be long before you succumb to the poison and die. Don't blame me for not warning you.
Upon hearing this, Zawu merely sneered, "A mere little poison? Do you think I'm afraid of it? Don't try to fool me, prepare to die."
At first, he really thought he had been poisoned, but so much time had passed, the pain in his eyes had long since subsided, and there were no signs of poisoning on his body.
He then realized that he had been deceived.
This person was clearly trying to trick him on purpose, trying to throw him into a panic. What a joke.
He's determined to kill this man right here today.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiang Yimian didn't bother to remind him anymore. Instead, she took her curved sword and clashed fiercely with the other man's broadsword.
He asked curiously, "It seems that you people of Xiliang have really cooperated with that traitor Xie Yang. That man is very cunning. Are you sure that you people of Xiliang are his match?"
Don't end up getting sold out and then helping the seller count the money.
Zha Wu just snorted coldly, "We know Xie Yang better than you do. Besides, we're partners, so you don't need to worry about him."
He was the one who helped the Khan escape from Tuyuhun back then, so there's nothing wrong with us helping him now.
But you, asking so many questions, what are you trying to do?
Don't think anyone will come to your rescue. If those city guards dare to leave the city now, they will all die under the iron cavalry of my Xiliang army.
"You overestimating fools, since you dared to assassinate me, you should understand that you're only courting death. Today, I will make sure you all die here."
Jiang Yimian didn't say anything more. She had now figured out the relationship between the other party and Xie Yang.
Now it seems that those river bandits were not just a rabble, as Zhao Zuoling and his men had said.
They might even be elite soldiers specially trained by Xie Yang.
Today, A-Jian is only leading 20,000 city guards to deal with them, which is quite difficult, and they may even be wiped out.
There are also Lin Yan'an and Liu'er, who were their bait, and now they will also be the bait for the water bandits.
Those river bandits must be fully armed, waiting for Ah Jian to come to them.
She had to lead a team to rescue them.
Thinking this, her moves became even more ferocious. Her gaze swept over the still quiet eastern camp, but her brow furrowed slightly.
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to burn the grain and fodder here.
I wonder how things are going with Wang San and the others.
If they delay any longer, it will be detrimental to them.
Zawu's interest has been piqued by her words, but if he calms down, he will definitely notice something is amiss.
If Wang San and his group haven't finished by this time, they might all perish here.
