At the end of the words, Steward Huo glanced at Governor Xu again: "As long as you can prove your loyalty to the imperial court, it may not be an undesirable way to help the queen do the work of suppressing bandits."

"Are you persuading this official to cooperate with the queen to suppress bandits?" Xu Ruxuan frowned slightly, and there was still some disbelief in the depths of his eyes.

This man... How could he be persuaded to cooperate with the bandits?

When others listen to their conversations, it may be difficult for them to notice that something is wrong, but they will only think that the butler is thinking about him. However, as a party, as a party who knows the details of the other party... Xu Ruxuan had to be shocked by the other party's persuasion.

This person is a member of the bandits, and when he heard that the imperial court was going to send troops to encircle and suppress him, he not only had no intention of stopping it, but also persuaded people to let the horse come over generously...

Xu Ruxuan subconsciously felt that the other party's move was fraudulent.

But before he could say anything, Steward Huo preemptively said, "There may be miscellaneous fish mixed in, the mansion still needs to be touched, the villain has to continue to arrange for people to investigate, since there is nothing to do here... Then please rest early.

"It's almost three days now, if you want to help the queen mother arrest the bandits, you still have to be busy tomorrow.

"Rest, villain."

As soon as the words fell, Steward Huo respectfully saluted Xu Ru, then slowly took a few steps back, and finally strode out of the main courtyard.

After he left, Xu Ruxuan wanted to turn around and talk to Chi Xinian.

It's just that his body just moved, and Chi Xinian, who was hiding in the shadows, stopped in a low voice, "Don't move!"

She could feel that Steward Huo had not gone far after leaving the small courtyard, and his footsteps as light as a feather had completely disappeared after he had just left the courtyard.

Chi Xinian suspected that most of this person didn't fully believe Xu Ruxuan's words, and right now, he was hiding outside the courtyard for an interview.

In the confrontation with Fang Cai, although Xu Ruxuan had tried his best to hide his discomfort, it was estimated that with the sensitivity of the other party, it was not a problem to see some flaws.

If he suspects that Xu Ruxuan is not telling the truth, he thinks that Xu Ruxuan's disturbed mind is not because of talking during the day, but because he met with someone at night...

Then he is now waiting for the rabbit outside, and it is a matter of course for others to relax their vigilance and throw themselves into the net.

This man is very thoughtful.

It's a pity that he misestimated Chi Xinian's strength and caution.

She didn't immediately relax and show up because the person was gone, but listened carefully to the footsteps and counted the person's current position.

Ji Xinian held his breath and put all his attention on his surroundings.

The tranquility of the night gave her a great boost.

In the absence of noise interference, with her ability, she can still determine the other party's movements.

The man was still hiding outside the courtyard.

Time passed little by little, Chi Xinian did not move, and Steward Huo, who was secretly lurking outside the hospital, was silent for a long time, and finally put down his heart slowly.

Maybe he was too careful, he thought.

Perhaps, what Xu Ruxuan said was the truth, and he was still sitting in the courtyard in the middle of the night, just because the pressure from both the court and the bandits was too great?

After listening for a while, and after making sure that there was no second person in Xu Ruxuan's courtyard, Steward Huo raised his feet again and left the place with a lantern.

The footsteps sounded again, and they became weaker and weaker, and Chi Xinian was finally able to relax his tense body and lean out from the flowers.

"Whew... Finally gone." Chi Xinian propped up the railing over the flowers, patted the dust, and sat down beside Xu Ruxuan again.
