Along the way, you will continue to encounter the same fleeing homeless people, all of whom were appeased by Ning Xi and taken with them on the road.

After more than half a month's journey, the convoy finally arrived in Xiacheng.

From a distance, I saw a ruined and huge city standing, with a few soldiers standing scattered on the city walls, the gates of the city were open, but no one entered or left.

After the car approached, Ning Xi found that the gates of the city were all broken, and there were traces of being hit on them.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the city, a man in his forties walked briskly with two young soldiers.

"Who are you?" The three of them were full of curiosity, shock, and defense at such a convoy, and their weapons were tightly clenched in their hands.

Ning Xi stepped down from the off-road vehicle, "This king has come to take over Xia City, where is your city lord?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, and only after half a sound did the man pat his head, and he also guessed the identity of this handsome boy in brocade clothes who looked like a fairy, "My subordinates participate in the little prince!" The lord of the city is still in the city, and the little one is going to call him over? ”

Half a month ago, they received a message from the City Lord's Mansion that the owner of this fief, Ning Xiaowangye, was going to bring the Ning family army to garrison and take over, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He also thought that these nobles would travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and he was afraid that it would take a short time to arrive.

Ning Xi thought for a while and asked, "Is the City Lord's Mansion far away from here?" ”

The man scratched his head, "The City Lord's Mansion is still far from here, but the City Lord is not in the City Lord's Mansion, but works in a courtyard not far away. ”

"Okay, then you don't need to call him, this king will follow you and see him." Ningxi Road.

The man naturally didn't dare to resist, "Yes, little prince, please!" ”

Ning Xi instructed Mu You to take the soldiers, slaves, gentlemen, homeless people, and bandits to wait in the car outside the city.

Mu You knew about Ningxi's combat power, so he didn't refuse.

Ning Xi took Luo Yinhuang and a few of Ning Qi's eighteen guards into the city with the man.

After entering the city, the entrance is a house of different heights, but it gives people a tattered feeling, either the door has been smashed, or it has been directly pushed over the wall or the wall has been smashed out of a large hole.

There were only a very few people on the street, all of them with a kind of numbness on their faces, and they only showed curious and inquiring expressions when they saw Ning Xi and the others.

There were also soldiers patrolling the city with weapons, but they all looked yellow and thin, and if they encountered a sturdy rogue, they would not be able to resist for long.

The shops on both sides were all closed, and many of the doors were either damaged or wide open, and the inside was basically emptied, apparently seriously looted.

This can no longer be described as a depression, it has completely passed to the level of depression.

"When did this start in the city?" Ning Xi broke the calm.

The man saw Ning Xi's eyes fall solemnly on the destroyed and unmanned shop, and then he reacted and asked, "Over the years, the soldiers of the two countries pretending to be rogue have become more and more arrogant in looting, and they have also colluded with several big bandit leaders nearby, and they even joined forces to attack Xiacheng half a month ago, and then burned and looted. ”

"Most of the guards in the city have also died, and many families in and outside the city have moved out of Xiacheng, and no one dares to do business in the city." He said with a sigh.

Ning Xi frowned, "Does the city lord care?" ”

"What's the matter? If it weren't for the city lord leading people to defend it to the death, all the people in this city would have been killed a long time ago. Hearing Ning Xi, the man seemed to be questioning the city lord, and he was a little unhappy.
