The First Dude: Dark Emperor, Come To Fight!

Along the way, they kept meeting refugees who were also fleeing, and they were all comforted by Ning Xi and brought along on the journey.

After more than half a month's journey, the team finally arrived at Xiacheng.

Looking from a distance, I saw a dilapidated and huge city standing there, with a few soldiers standing scattered on the wall. The city gate was open, but no one came in or out.

After the car approached, Ning Xi discovered that the gates of the city were actually broken, with signs of being hit on them.

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

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

Ning Xi got off the off-road vehicle and said, "I have come to take over Xia City. Where is your city lord?"

The three of them looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the man patted his head and guessed the identity of this handsome young man who looked like a fairy in rich clothes. "I'm here to join the young prince! The city lord is still in the city. The young prince is still here." Go and ask him to come over?"

They had received news from the city lord's palace half a month ago that the owner of this fiefdom, Ning Xiaowang, would come with the Ning family army to garrison and take over. They did not expect to arrive so soon.

He thought that it would take a while for these noble people to arrive after traveling all the way.

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

The man scratched his head and said, "The City Lord's Mansion is quite 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 there's no need to call him. I'll follow you and meet him as soon as we meet him." Ning Xi said.

Naturally, the man did not dare to resist, "Yes, please, young prince!"

Ning Xi told Mu You to wait in the car outside the city with the soldiers, slaves, dudes, refugees and bandits.

Mu You knew Ning Xi's combat power, so he didn't refuse.

Ning Xi took Luo Yinhuang and several people from Ning Qi's Eighteen Guards and followed the man into the city.

After entering the city, you will see houses of different heights and locations, but they give people a shabby feeling. Either the door has been smashed, or the house has been pushed directly over the wall or there are big holes in the wall.

There were only a few sparse people on the street, and all of them had a kind of numbness on their faces. Only when they saw Ning Xi and others did they show curious and inquiring expressions.

There are also soldiers patrolling the city with weapons, but they all look sallow and thin. If they encounter strong-bodied bandits, these people may not be able to resist for long.

All the shops on both sides were closed. The doors of many shops were either damaged or wide open. The insides were basically emptied. It was obvious that they had been severely looted.

This can no longer be described as depression, it has completely reached the level of desolation.

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

When the man saw Ning Xi's solemn gaze on the destroyed and deserted shop, he realized what he was asking, "In recent years, soldiers from both countries who have pretended to be rogues have become more and more plundering, and they have also fought with several large groups of bandits nearby. The leaders colluded together, and even joined forces to attack Xia City half a month ago, and then burned, killed and looted."

"Most of the guards in the city are dead. Many families in and outside the city have also moved their families away from Xia City, and no one dares to do business in the city." He sighed.

Ning Xi frowned, "City Lord doesn't care?"

"Why don't you care? If the city lord hadn't led people to protect him to the death, all the people in this city would have been killed long ago." The man felt a little unhappy when he heard that Ning Xi seemed to question the city lord.
