Xu Ruxuan stood in front of Chi Xinian and asked her seriously: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of losing?"

"Are you worried that I will lose to the water bandits?" Chi Xinian tilted his head slightly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

She did not answer Xu Ruxuan's question, but took a detour and asked the question to him again.

In fact, if others encounter such a situation, they will inevitably think twice before replying. The person in front of me is a queen after all, and she was once a general with a heavy army. She seems to be confident about suppressing bandits. Direct rebuttal is equivalent to being in person.

To save her face.

Not giving face to this powerful man is not a wise choice.

But Xu Ruxuan seemed completely unaware of the twists and turns involved, and continued to go his own way: "I am naturally worried. After all, the suppression of bandits is not just a fight between the government and a few bandits, but also affects people's livelihood.

"Right now, the Pingxing disaster has just passed. Issues related to people's livelihood must be more and more cautious."

"Prefect Xu!" Commissioner Pei Qin next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

It doesn't matter if this man doesn't give the queen face, but he can't fail to give the queen face on this matter!

Because this matter probably also involves the collusion between water bandits and people from the court! If the queen assumes that their obstruction is reasonable, puts them on the list of people who may collude with water bandits, and directly sends a secret letter to the emperor...

Then their career will be stained!

After the case is investigated, this stain may be washed away, but if not... it is hard to imagine how many difficulties will be added to my career in the future.

Pei Heng naturally did not want to get into trouble.

In this way, he naturally hopes that Xu Ru will be more aware of current affairs and not always talk back to the queen.

However, Chi Xinian seemed to be much more generous than he imagined.

After hearing Xu Ruxuan's words, she was not angry. She just chuckled and said: "You are right. Pingxing after the disaster is very fragile and cannot withstand the torment. The suppression of bandits must be done quickly.

That's right.

"So you can rest assured that I, the gangster, will definitely know how to do it, but I will never act rashly until I am absolutely sure."

"But..." Hearing this, Xu Ruxuan couldn't help but frown again.

But compared to his previous uprightness, he suddenly became hesitant at this moment.

"What's wrong?" His obvious change naturally attracted Chi Xinian's attention.

But just now, the person who was not in power and dared to say anything, at this moment, hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

After hesitating for a long time, he just said: "It's good for your Majesty to be sensible, but I still hope that your Majesty can consider suppressing the bandits again.

"Perhaps... after robbing enough supplies, the gangsters will not be on the road again for a long time.

"In this case, we may not have the need to conflict with them."

"Maybe?" Chi Xinian didn't agree with Xu Ruxuan's words at all, and the gentle smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth was replaced by a sharp edge at this moment, "Sir Xu, please forgive me, what you just said was so irresponsible.

"As the prefect of a prefecture, it should be your duty to maintain local peace.

"But now, you want to hand over the decision-making power of peace or not to the gangsters. If the gangsters are in a good mood, they will rob us once and stop causing trouble, and we can live in peace for a few days.

"But if you meet a gangster in a bad mood, come out to grab a wave, can we only accept it?"
