Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 535
Standing in front of Chi Xinian, Xu Ruxuan asked her seriously: "Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose?"

"Are you worried that I will lose to the water bandits?" Chi Xinian tilted his head slightly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

She didn't answer Xu Ruxuan's question, but took a detour and threw the question back to the other party.

In fact, if other people encounter such a situation, they must think twice and answer again.The person in front of her is the queen, and she was once a great general with a large army in her hands. She seems to be confident about suppressing the bandits for a while, and directly refuting her is tantamount to embarrassing her face to face.

It is not a wise choice not to give this powerful person face.

But Xu Ruxuan seemed to be completely unaware of the twists and turns, and continued to go his own way: "I am naturally worried, after all, the suppression of bandits is not only a fight between the government and a few bandits, but also related to people's livelihood.

"Pingxing has just passed the catastrophe, and issues related to people's livelihood must be more cautious."

"Prefect Xu!" The envoy Pei Qin next to him couldn't stand it any longer.

It doesn't matter if this person doesn't give the queen face, but he can't not give the queen face in this matter!
Because this matter may also involve the collusion between the water bandits and the people in the court!If the empress makes reasonable assumptions about their obstruction, put them on the list of possible collusion with water bandits, and send a secret letter directly to the emperor...

Then their official careers will be stained!
After the investigation of the case is clear, this stain may be washed away, but if not... then it is hard to imagine how many difficulties will be added to my future career.

Pei Heng naturally didn't want to get himself into trouble.

In this way, he naturally hoped that Xu Ru would be more knowledgeable about current affairs and not always talk back to the queen.

However, Chi Xinian seemed to be much more generous than he had imagined.

After hearing Xu Ruxuan's words, she was not angry, but just chuckled and said: "You are right, Pingxing after the catastrophe is very fragile and cannot stand the trouble, and the matter of suppressing the bandits has to be done quickly." It's right again.

"So don't worry, the culprit Bengong will definitely meet, but I will never act rashly until I am absolutely sure."

"But..." Hearing this, Xu Ruxuan couldn't help frowning again.

It's just that compared to the uprightness before, at this moment, he suddenly became hesitant.

"What's wrong?" His obvious changes naturally caught Chi Xinian's attention.

But just now, the person who dared to say anything because of power, at this moment, hesitated and hawed for a long time without saying anything.

After hesitating for a long time, he just said: "It's good for the empress to have a sense of propriety, but I still hope that the empress can reconsider the matter of suppressing the bandits.

"Perhaps...after looting sufficient supplies, the bandits will not be on the road for a long time.

"In this way, we may not have the need to conflict with them."

"Perhaps?" Chi Xinian did not agree with Xu Ruxuan's words at all, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth was replaced by sharpness at this moment, "Master Xu, with all due respect, what you said just now was too irresponsible.

"As a prefect, it should be your duty to maintain local peace.

"But now, you have to hand over the decision of peace or not to the gangsters. If the gangsters are in a good mood, they will rob us once and stop making trouble, and we can live peacefully for a few days.

"But if we meet bandits in a bad mood and come out to grab another wave, we can only accept it submissively?"
