"Don't dare!" The shopkeeper was so frightened by Chi Xinian that he was almost about to kneel, "The villain's family lives with the villain, where do you dare to deceive the girl??"

"It's just that the thoughts of this water bandit are indeed something that the villain can't guess. Perhaps, they had already plundered enough supplies last time, so this time they would not risk going against the government?

"After all, if you really anger the imperial court and Your Majesty sends troops to fight, how long can a few bandits last?"

"The imperial court sent troops?" Chi Xinian hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile, "What if the imperial court doesn't send troops?" You also said that it was just a few water bandits, why did the imperial court mobilize people for them? ”

The imperial court has only experienced several years of war, how can it have so much energy to target the water bandits?

Even when she came over this time, she only brought a mere ten people, and the method she wanted to use was only to capture the thief and capture the king first, rather than an all-out attack.

Chi Xinian is very aware of the twists and turns, and she also believes that the prefect of Pingxing and the leader of the water bandits more or less understand this truth.

But at this time, the shopkeeper said: "It is said that Your Majesty is a hero, and General Chi under him is also an invincible general." Perhaps, in the eyes of these two, the extremely arrogant water bandits must be exterminated?

"The villain heard that when this batch of disaster relief materials was about to arrive in Pingcheng, the government's greeting team was not as careful as before!

"They sent more than 200 people to help pull things, and there was no panic of being ambushed and attacked.

"Perhaps, it's because the government has already received the news?

"The imperial court is about to send troops? So they're not afraid? ”

The shopkeeper said to himself the news he had obtained from various sources, trying to find a suitable reason for his wrong analysis in the past.

In his opinion, if it was really because the imperial court wanted to crack down on bandits, the price of food fell, then it would be a shame that he didn't get things done.

But his news fell in Chi Xinian's ears, but it created another stormy wave.

When the water bandits were known to be ferocious, the Pingxing Mansion was not in a hurry when receiving disaster relief materials? Could it be that someone in Kyoto has already revealed that she came to Pingxing to suppress bandits, so the Pingxing government has confidence?

However, as soon as this idea was condensed in Chi Xinian's mind, she quickly denied it.

Wrong!

Before she came, she had discussed with Yan Chujing, and the official notice should not be sent urgently for 600 miles. It was distributed at a normal pace, so that she had time to explore the general situation of Pingxing in the dark.

Carefully calculate the time of distribution of the official document, at present, the official official document should not have arrived at the Pingxing Mansion.

If someone in the Pingxing Mansion knows the news of her coming, it will only be someone in Kyoto who reports the news.

Even if it is secretly ventilating the news, how can it affect the actions of the government?

But if it weren't for the fact that she was going to suppress the bandits, would it be interesting if the Pingxing government was still so lax?

Judging from the situation she has investigated in the past few days, Xu Zhifu is a cautious and serious person. How could he not strengthen the guards? Is it because, he knows in his heart, there is actually no difference whether this guard is strengthened or not?

Further, he actually knew that there would be no water bandits to rob the supplies this time?

Why does he know this?

What kind of relationship does he have with the water bandits on the Luo River?
