After Xie Yi finished speaking, he looked at the person in front of him.
The girl was bright and beautiful, and her simple riding outfit looked exceptionally good on her.
She was the same age as those women who were raised in seclusion, but her unique confidence and temperament were unmatched by anyone.
Even in such a situation, he remained calm and confident, showing no sign of panic at the difficulty he was facing, only resilience.
Perhaps, his choice was the right one.
Perhaps, the fate of Weizhou City will truly be changed by this person before us.
Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he agreed, and quickly told Xie Yi all about her plan.
Then he continued, "Do as I say now, otherwise, if the Xiliang people really go crazy and continue to attack the city, both the people in Weizhou City and the soldiers who went to suppress the bandits will die."
Xie Yi didn't hesitate this time; instead, he nodded seriously.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was about to turn and leave, he only said, "I hope that the princess and Lord Lu can really bring the city guards back successfully."
Jiang Yimian simply waved her hand at him and said earnestly, "I will."
As soon as she stepped off the city wall, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
Jiang Yimian didn't even glance at the other person and turned to leave.
As she passed by, Aguzan grabbed her arm.
Jiang Yimian frowned, trying to shake off the other person, but the large hand holding her gripped her with unusual force.
She said coldly, "Presumably, it would be very easy for the second prince of Tuyuhun to leave Weizhou City. There's no need for A-Jian and me to escort you back."
Therefore, we have nothing more to say; let go.
Since this person is so determined to come to Weizhou City, he must have made his own preparations here.
Now that she and A-Jian have completed their mission of escorting this person, she really doesn't want to have any further involvement with him.
When Aguzan heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and stared at Jiang Yimian, saying, "What, is the princess angry with me? That's rare. But I've been doing important things these days."
Jiang Yimian ignored him, a curved dagger appeared in her hand, and she stabbed directly at the large hand that was grabbing her arm.
Aguzan could only smile helplessly and quickly let go of her hand. "Princess, you are still so heartless. I was saving you."
"You are no match for those river bandits. If you go now, you'll only be sending another 20,000 men to their deaths."
These days, he hasn't just been gathering his own men; he's also been inquiring about the situation of the river bandits, who are much more difficult to deal with than they thought.
Right now, Lu Cijian might already be at war with those people.
By the time Jiang Yimian gets there, it will probably be too late.
Jiang Yimian merely glanced at him and said indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you. Second Prince, you should think more about yourself."
Now that we have arrived in Weizhou, the Second Prince's men must have already made all the preparations, so there is no need for Ah Jian and me to see them off again.
I only hope that the Second Prince, upon returning to Tuyuhun, will not forget his promise to the Great Jin, and will not disappoint us.
Having said that, he walked straight ahead.
Aguzan simply smiled, staring at the slender figure, and said, "Of course I remember. However, it's a little hard for me to just watch you die in Weizhou."
Jiang Yimian ignored him and quickly disappeared around the corner.
Aguzan gazed into the distance for a while before turning his attention to a secluded corner.
A figure emerged from the darkness and said respectfully, "Second Prince, the ship is ready. Shall we leave now, or wait until things in Weizhou City are settled?"
Aguzan didn't answer, but glanced at the unusually dark sky above and casually asked, "Do you think Weizhou City can survive this calamity?"
The man in black was clearly taken aback, obviously not expecting him to ask this question. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Those water bandits are not ordinary bandits. They are soldiers who have been trained for many years and are extremely skilled in water warfare."
If the defending forces could outnumber the enemy, they might have been able to put up a fight; but now it seems that's unlikely.
If the city guards of Weizhou were to face ordinary river bandits, they would naturally be able to defeat them easily.
But those river bandits were clearly not ordinary bandits.
Jiang Yimian's decision to lead another 20,000 garrison troops would only hasten the demise of Weizhou City.
After all, those Xiliang people outside the city are not to be trifled with; they will surely react quickly to the strange occurrences in the city.
Aguzan glanced at the somewhat flustered crowd on the city wall, but couldn't help recall the girl's confident little face.
Despite being so thin and frail, she always forged ahead without fear, no matter what she encountered.
No matter how big the problem is, the other party will only try their best to find a solution and will never give up.
Can someone like that succeed?
Aguzan simply smiled before saying, "Let's go."
The man in black paused when he saw the smile on the face of the person next to him, and after a while, he followed with some surprise.
At this time, the Xiliang people's camp.
The raging fire swept through in an instant, burning not only all the grain and fodder, but also many tents, leaving them completely destroyed.
The lieutenant looked at the mess not far away, his brow twitching violently.
The several tents where provisions were stored on the east side had disappeared, replaced by a ground covered in black ash and wisps of black smoke rising from them.
He wished he could rush into Weizhou City right now and skin those people who set fire to the grain alive.
Seeing his gritted teeth, the soldier next to him hesitated for a long time before approaching respectfully and saying, "Sir, the shaman has already examined them. The soldiers are unconscious because they have been drugged and have fallen into a deep sleep."
It must have been the work of the city guards of Weizhou. Otherwise, how could those people have succeeded, let alone escaped so easily?
"Sir, they've played such a cruel trick on us and burned our supplies; we cannot let them get away with this!"
The lieutenant clenched his fists in anger but remained silent.
He felt his mind was a jumbled mess, unable to understand how their nearly 70,000-strong Xiliang army had been ambushed by the city's defenders and suffered such a crushing defeat.
He thought Weizhou City was already in their grasp, but he never expected the other side to be able to do such a thing tonight, which he found hard to believe.
The cowardly Prince Jin would never dare to launch a sneak attack. The reason those city guards dared to do so must be because of that woman named Jiang Yimian.
The King of Chu was right; this man is no ordinary person and must not be allowed to live.
Just then, they heard several painful roars coming from a nearby tent, accompanied by the shaman's shouts.
"My lord, my lord, please come quickly! The general is probably dying! Please come and take a look!"
