Chapter 369: willing to believe

Ning Xi had guessed such a situation, and she didn't think it was Lu Yan's disgrace to her.

Judging from the situation of Xiacheng, whoever takes over will be unlucky.

The whole city is in ruins and decay. Now even the people in the city are running away, and they may encounter rogue bandits at any time. Who would think about seizing power, and the most important thing is what is the use of seizing it?

"It doesn't matter, if the city lord can drink this tea, this king can also drink it." Ning Xi had seen the tea cups of Lu Yan and the three of them before.

Lu Yan clasped his fists at Ning Xi, "Thank you little prince for your understanding!"

"City Lord Lu, this king came all the way, and I have seen the general situation of the fief with my own eyes. Can I ask you a few questions now?" Ning Xi said with a small smile.

Lu Yan nodded respectfully: "My lord, may I ask, the lower official must know everything and say everything."

"What are you training for, the soldiers outside?"

"Naturally, it is to defend against rogues and bandits when they come again."

"Do you think that with such a force and the heavily damaged city walls and gates, you can defend it?"

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. This is our home. Everyone swears to live and die together with Xiacheng."

"City Lord Lu has the courage, didn't you think about leaving?"

Lu Yan smiled bitterly: "Where are you going when you leave? My father has been guarding Xiacheng all his life. No matter whether it is prosperous or declining, I will continue to carry out my father's will to protect it."

"Xiacheng is the most important border city of the Three Kingdoms. Once it is conquered and occupied by the two countries, it will pose a great threat to the Yin Kingdom. I don't want to see the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family." This sentence is very bold.

Ning Xi didn't blame her, she chuckled softly, "You're right, but unfortunately there are always people who can't see through this."

Now that there is no war in the Three Kingdoms, Xia City will definitely not be captured by the enemy army, but if it does, can this dilapidated city and hundreds of thin-faced soldiers be able to defend it? The answer is obvious.

Once Xiacheng is captured, the army of Ziguo and Chouguo will enter the hinterland of Yinguo without hindrance. At that time, it is really possible that the country will be destroyed.

Of course, the emperor and the ministers in the court would never have imagined that Xiacheng would become like this. This city can be regarded as a major military battle for defending the country. People in the court can fight, but they will never want to see the current Condition.

"Now that this king has completely taken over the feudal affairs, he will no longer let rogues and bandits enter the city to loot. City Lord Lu would like to help this king?" Ning Xi expressed a sincere invitation.

Although it stands to reason that the city lord of Xiacheng and the fief are also her vassals, but the other party can also leave or choose to watch from the sidelines.

From Lu Yan's temperament to his speech, Ning Xi could see that this was really a good official who defended the city for the people. He still had the fighting spirit and didn't give up in his appearance, and people couldn't help but admire him.

Lu Yan stood up and bowed to Ning Xi, "As long as the little prince can lead the Ning family's army to defend Xiacheng, so that the people in the city can eat, the lower official is willing to let the little prince be dispatched."

"City Lord Lu's expectation that this king will definitely meet it."

Ning Xi exuded a sense of pride and ambition, "This king not only wants to let the people of the city lord live a prosperous and healthy life, but also let the people of the entire fief live such a life."

"One year later, Xiacheng will definitely change greatly, you can wait and see!"

Although Lu Yan is young, he is not a young man who can arouse emotions at will. Since he took over as the city owner, he has been exhausted, but he is always unable to do what he wants.

He knows the situation on this fief too well, so he knows how difficult it is to change into the future described by the little prince.

But in any case, today's Ning Xiaowang still gave him a surprise and admiration, and he was willing to believe it once.
