"Unless what?" Zhu Ziping subconsciously asked.

"Unless, even if you avoid everyone and come to the side alone, it's not convenient to tell the truth." Chi Xinian's apricot eyes narrowed, and his tone was slightly cold.

"Doesn't that still distrust us?" Zhu Ziping didn't react for a moment.

Chi Xinian shook his head and motioned for him to follow his gaze to the people who had already followed Xu Ruxuan to another embankment: "It's not necessarily that they don't trust us, maybe it's because they are being watched by some people, and it's inconvenient to tell the truth."

Zhu Ziping just didn't keep up with Chi Xinian's train of thought for a while.

After she said this, he immediately reacted: "Niangniang means that the person who colluded with the water bandits and threatened the Xu Governor's Mansion was hiding in the group of people who accompanied him?!"

"Governor Xu didn't dare to reveal the truth at this time because he saw him alone with us?!"

"That's exactly what Hongu thinks. But..." Pursing his lips, Chi Xinian remembered Xu Ruxuan's reminder again, "This palace now feels that we, the Governor of Xu, are not completely passive.

"He should, and he has his own considerations—"

"Governor Xu still has his own plan for the enemy? How can this be?" Zhu Ziping carefully recalled the scene where they got along for a short time, and he only felt that this Xu Zhifu spoke in a twisted and tortuous manner, which made people scratch their hearts and lungs, and was very uncomfortable.

As for the plan against the enemy? He really doesn't know, where did Chi Xinian see it?

However, at the moment, Chi Xinian didn't have the heart to explain to him.

After Xu Ruxuan's side knock on the side prompt, her thoughts also fell into a fog.

After pondering for a moment, she simply said to the people around her: "Regarding the strangeness of the Xu Governor's Mansion, this palace needs to think about it alone for a moment. Trouble the little marquis to follow them, and solve the flood problem with them first."

"This... It's fine." Zhu Ziping actually wanted to discuss Xu Ruxuan's issue with Chi Xinian again.

But considering that there is likely to be a situation in the team over there, it is not possible to have no one to watch.

After hesitating for a moment, he still agreed: "Then the lower official will go to do things first, and when the mother thinks about it clearly, then inform the lower official."

When the words fell, he hurriedly followed the team.

Seeing that the people around Chi Xinian were gone, Chi Xinian was still leaning on the railing alone, looking at the rolling waves, Xin couldn't help but step forward and asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, have you encountered any difficulties again?"

"Yes." Chi Xiqing sighed, "The process of disaster relief is much smoother than expected, but the pace of suppressing bandits is difficult to take a step.

"I can't help but wonder, is there any hope for this water bandit to be exterminated..."

"What did you say?! If you go out in person, can't you still get a few bandits?" Xin Yi once followed Chi Xinian from birth to death, and was used to seeing her strategizing on the battlefield, thinking that what she had to deal with now was only a few bandits, and she was full of confidence.

But Chi Xinian said, "This matter is different from what I thought. Perhaps, Yan Chujing's initial guess was correct..."

"Your Majesty... The first guess?" Xin was stunned.

"Yes." Chi Xinian bowed slightly, "As early as before I left, Yan Chujing said that the problems exposed by Pingxing seemed to have been arranged in advance, attracting our attention and attention little by little, and making us fall into this.

"It's just that he can't understand why the other party deliberately leads us to focus on Pingxing."
