After thinking about it, Chi Xinian asked again: "What is the evaluation of this battle by the county magistrate of Naqi County?" Did he realize the inadequacy of the escort team, or the difference in strength between the two sides? ”

"There should be..."Chu Qi thought about it seriously, and then replied, "If it is a normal suppression of bandits, just mobilize the officials to go."

But that time, the county lord not only greeted the state in advance, but also put a list in the county seat, indicating that young heroes or martial arts heroes came to help.

He said that once the silver was recaptured, he would be grateful.

"Because he is full of sincerity, my Chu family, as a local gentry, did not sit idly by. One of my elder brothers also asked his son, who had learned some kung fu, to go with him to help the county lord pay the bills.

"It's a pity... Such adequate preparation still did not succeed. ”

Chu Qi only regretted this, because in her opinion, they were just inferior in skills and had never fought the other side.

But these words fell on the ears of Chi Xinian and Yan Chujing, but they made them taste something different.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the idea in each other's eyes.

"When the bandits suddenly attacked, it was understandable that the team escorting the silver was not fully prepared. But after seeing the strength of the other party, the county magistrate of Qixian County also paid attention to it, and he not only brought enough government service, but also warned the militia. Why, or fiasco? Yan Chujing pointed out the problem.

"Not only that, but there's also a problem." In the end, Chi Xinian was the one who really brought six years of soldiers, and she saw some more problems than Yan Chujing, "If the escort team didn't weaken the troops, why did the bandits suddenly find this team?" ”

"Because they're weak?" Yan Chujing thought about it.

But as soon as these words came out, he also realized the problem: "No! If they were weak, it would have been impossible for the water bandits to let them go in previous years! What is the difference between the overwhelming advantage of the bandits and that of the bandits?

"How could they give up, fat at their fingertips?"

"That's the puzzling question." Chi Xinian nodded and gave Yan Chujing an approving look.

This is where the contradiction she finds.

From the very beginning, the appearance of bandits was strange.

And every subsequent step is not in line with common sense.

"As far as I think, the origin of this group of water bandits is probably not so simple." Chi Xinian touched his chin and thought, "Even if they were really just water bandits who looted on the waterway of the Luojiang River, this operation was very likely to be instructed by someone." ”

"Agreed." Yan Chujing also has this idea.

"If there is really a mastermind behind this looting, and combined with the fact that Governor Xu did not mention this matter at all when he reported the problem, then..."Chi Xinian frowned.

The problem in Binh Heung Mansion seems to be even more serious than she imagined.

"Yes..."Yan Chujing also frowned, "It stands to reason that the Qi County Government has planted such a big heel, he will definitely report it to the state."

"It's even possible to ask the state for help, hoping that the state can send troops to help him."

"So..."Chi Xinian looked at Chu Qi, "Aunt Chu, has anyone in the state been sent to help?" ”

"Nope." Speaking of this, Chu Qi couldn't help but sigh again, "Lord Zhizhou has the heart to help, but the reality is that he is not allowed to help us." ”

"Why? The state is in trouble too? Chi Xinian asked.

"Yes." Chu Qi nodded, "Other counties in the state have also encountered water bandits. ”
