In the eyes of men, these children of aristocratic families have never known the sufferings of the people. Whenever something happens, they have to blame others. They don't know if they will torture people in all kinds of ways when they come to Xia City this time.

Their good city lord, who devoted all his efforts to guarding Xia City, wondered whether he would be condemned by this young prince.

Ning Xi could hear this man's defense of the city lord, and he had a rough idea.

Soon, the man led Ning Xi and others into a shabby-looking courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard the sound of soldiers exercising.

"Stab! Stab!"

"Kill! Kill!"

In the yard, hundreds of soldiers were holding sharpened wooden sticks and making stabbing movements. These soldiers were also sallow and thin, and they looked malnourished, but their movements were not sluggish at all.

Seeing the man and others coming in, he greeted him respectfully, "Hello, captain!"

The expressions looking at Ning Xi and others were full of curiosity, inquiry, and surprise.

"This is Prince Ning, and he is also the lord of the fief. Come and pay homage to him!" the man said.

The hundred soldiers were stunned and immediately saluted, "See you, Lord!"

"No courtesy!" Ning Xi smiled slightly and raised his hand.

The man then led Ning Xi and others through the courtyard to the main hall of the courtyard.

At first glance, the main hall was set up as an office space. There was a person at the top who was writing with his head down. There were two people sitting on either side of him, each holding a book and flipping through and writing.

"City Lord, the young prince is here!" The man saw this and broke the peace in the main hall.

The man at the head then raised his head and looked towards Ning Xi and the others. He was stunned for a moment and then regained his composure. He immediately stood up and saluted Ning Xi, "Lu Yan pays homage to the young prince!"

Ning Xi saw that the city lord was about in his twenties. He had a handsome appearance and a bookish air mixed with a kind of fortitude. His first impression was more like a scholar than a city lord.

"City Lord Lu, please get up!" Ning Xi said and found a seat to sit down.

Lu Yan ordered people to serve tea, "The official didn't know that the young prince had arrived, so he missed his welcome. Don't be surprised if you hope!"

"City Master Lu, you're welcome. No need to be restrained. You can all sit down."

Ning Xi had information about the city lord, but it wasn't much.

The original city lord was someone else, but he died of illness a year ago. Before his death, he submitted a memorial to the court recommending his son to succeed the city lord. The emperor also approved it. No wonder he was so young.

The tea was served quickly. The tea cup was not porcelain, but made of pottery. When Ning Xi picked up the tea, she saw some foam floating in it. It was obvious that the tea was poor.

But she didn't dislike it and took a sip. It was slightly bitter but not too unpleasant.

Lu Yan was surprised when he saw that the noble young prince, who was dressed in rich and elegant clothes, did not smash the tea cup, but took a sip of tea, and did not show any disgust or anger.

"My young prince, most of the porcelain in the city has been stolen by bandits, as well as the good tea. This is just a temporary office and is relatively simple, so please forgive me!" However, he still opened his mouth to explain.

The common people and other officials didn't know about Ning Xi, the young prince, but Lu Yan, as the lord of a city, knew some information.

For example, this young prince was very favored by the emperor and the queen mother. He behaved in an arrogant and domineering manner and dared to beat anyone in the court who didn't like him. Even the minister of the Ministry of Industry was beaten.

She also likes men with outstanding looks and loves to tease beautiful men!

The talent of war beasts is very outstanding. This time in the war beast competition of the Three Kingdoms, it means that Yin Kingdom got the first place and so on.

Therefore, before meeting the young prince, Lu Yan had already positioned him as a dandy nobleman who was arrogant and difficult to serve and deal with. But now he was really unsure.
