"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Yan Chujing stopped the little guy and whispered a few words of comfort to Chi Xinian.

What he said was all good words, but when it fell into Chi Xinian's ears, it became a rhetoric to excuse Chi Chengyu. But at the moment, she didn't say anything, glanced at the two of them, gave them a meaningful smile, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, let's talk to Aunt Chu about the flood as soon as possible." ”

Yan Chujing shuddered from Chi Xinian's meaningful laughter, and Chi Chengyu, who was leaning on him, shrank into his arms again.

The subconscious actions of the two made the other realize that their reaction was not overthinking.

But there was a breakthrough in the flood accident, and the clues must not be lost, so even if Yan Chujing was flustered, he could only insist on gritting his teeth and turning his gaze back to Chu Qi.

"According to you, your hometown of Qi County suffered a catastrophe because of the sudden appearance of rare water bandits who were robbed of the money to build and reinforce the embankment?" Yan Chujing slowed down his tone and confirmed the matter with Chu Qi again.

He feared that he had just taken her too seriously, scaring her and making her description deviate from the real situation.

However, his worries seemed to be unfounded.

Hearing this, Chu Qi nodded and said, "It's exactly as Your Majesty said." ”

"Is that bandit powerful?" With a definite answer, Yan Chujing pointed to the table with his fingertips, and asked thoughtfully, "Why, after being looted by them, the Qixian County Government did not organize the local officers and soldiers to recapture the silver?" ”

was robbed, the government's first reaction should be to suppress the bandits, and then take back the money and materials, right?

But how could this Qi County county order be counted like this?

In the end, because the river embankment was not repaired, it led to a catastrophe...

Could it be that ...

As soon as Yan Chujing thought of a possibility, Chu Qi sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, the county commander of Qixian County has also worked hard, but the team of water bandits on the other side is too powerful.

"Not only are they highly armed but also well-trained, and the men of the Qixian organization have no strength to fight. They went with great vigour, but in the end they were defeated...

"Even because of this, a lot of servants were sacrificed, and the county government also compensated a lot.

"Eventually, that's what it is."

Speaking of these, Chu Qi's face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

Obviously, this memory is painful for all the people of Qi County.

As a result, their hometown has suffered a catastrophe and countless people have been displaced, all of which are related to this group of bandits.

"Strong and well-trained?" Hearing this, Yan Chujing couldn't help frowning.

Why does this matter become stranger the more you listen to it?

There are water bandits in the Luojiang River all year round, and it is not strange that they are well-trained, but it can be said that the force is strong... Even if they have a good physique, the officials in the Yamen of Keqi County are not vegetarians...

When the two sides are facing each other, how can they feel that the other party's martial arts are strong and they still lose in a mess when the number of people is equal?

Yan Chujing didn't understand this.

can only set his sights on Chi Xi Nian.

Chi Xinian has led the army for many years, and she may be able to explain this problem.

Feeling Yan Chujing's gaze, Chi Xinian understood his intentions, so she also looked at Chu Qi: "Dare to ask Aunt Chu, when Yinzi was escorting Yinzi, how was the strength of the army compared to previous years?" ”

"No change."

"When you were robbed, did you fight back and forth, or...?" Chi Xinian then asked.

"A complete defeat."

Chu Qi replied without the slightest hesitation, obviously, this was a tragic situation that everyone knew.
