When the city defense troops heard that the man in front of them was actually the city lord, a legendary champion, they all knelt down at once.

"Your Majesty, these are all newcomers in the past two years. They don't know your Majesty, so please atone for your sins." Guo Xin also interceded on their behalf.

Ning Chen looked around and found no old faces, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where are those people?"

Guo Xin quickly explained: "It turns out that some of the people who guarded the city's main palace were promoted, and the other part were sent out of the city to take charge of the order of the villages outside the city.

After all, they are all old people and more experienced."

When Guo Xin explained this, he was obviously a little panicked, as if he was worried that Ning Chen would not be happy with his arrangement.

But Guo Xin obviously thought too much, so Ning Chen just asked casually.

"You all go down, Mr. Guo and I have something to discuss."

Ning Chen dismissed the surrounding guards.

These guards followed Ning Chen's orders to the letter.

Looking at the leaving guards, Ning Chen laughed: "I thought they would only listen to your orders."

Guo Xin was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, please don't misunderstand me, my subordinates definitely don't have the slightest intention of overstepping their bounds.

Regardless of whether they are newcomers or old people, I will tell them that there is only one king in this hundred cities, and that is you, the prince.

you……"

Ning Chen interrupted Guo Xin, who was expressing his loyalty: "Old Guo, you still can't help but joke.

I remember I told you from the beginning that I have no interest in controlling everyone.

I only need to control you.

So even if you control them, it won't be a big deal to me."

Patting Guo Xin's shoulder, Ning Chen said: "Lao Guo, get up. I have something serious to tell you."

Guo Xin stood up and followed Ning Chen to the city lord's mansion.

"Your Majesty, drink tea." Guo Xin poured a cup of tea for Ning Chen himself and said.

Ning Chen took the tea handed over by Guo Xin, took a sip and said, "You must have heard about my going to Jingzhou, right?"

Guo Xin nodded: "I heard about it."

Ning Chen said straight to the point: "I plan to mobilize some elites from the North and Hezhou and go directly to Jingzhou to open up a new Baijia City. Come and help me identify some people who can be brought to Jingzhou."

In fact, the reason why Ning Chen had to transfer people from the Northern Territory and Hezhou was something that Ning Chen had no choice about.

Jingzhou is the territory of King Jing, and all the people in Jingzhou belong to King Jing.

It is basically impossible for you to replicate the situation in Hezhou and the North Territory.

If King Jing doesn't nod, who will come to Jingzhou's Baijia City?

Moreover, Ning Chen didn’t want Prince Jing to nod in this matter.

Ning Chen did not think that the people recruited in this way were his own people from Baijia City.

After Guo Xin received the order, he immediately stood up and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, I will draw up the list right away and hand it over to Your Majesty before the sun sets."

Ning Chen took another sip of tea: "Go."

Guo Xin works very efficiently, which of course also reflects his understanding of hundreds of cities in the north.

In just half a day, Guo Xin made a list of five hundred people.

Guo Xin handed the list to Ning Chen and explained to Ning Chen: "Your Majesty, the five hundred people on this list are the people who can help you build the City Lord's Mansion.

As for those traders and ordinary people, I believe that if the prince raises his voice, countless people will naturally be willing to follow him to Jingzhou."

Ning Chen glanced at the list and then handed it to Guo Xin: "You will take care of this matter. After all the people are listed, let them leave for Jingzhou directly.

After arriving in Jingzhou, I will ask someone to pick them up."

Guo Xin took the list and bowed: "Yes."

"Who are the Guo Cheng and Guo Ping on the list in your family?" Ning Chen suddenly asked Guo Xin.

Guo Xin bowed and answered truthfully: "They are two useless sons of humble men."

"You sent your sons there because you wanted to keep them as hostages for me. At that time, you wanted them to make contributions and make the family proud." Ning Chen said jokingly.

Ning Chen was joking, but Guo Xin answered very seriously: "If these two bastards from humble positions stay in the north, they may never get ahead in this life.

Even if you try to get ahead, you will be criticized constantly.

It is their honor to let them go to Jingzhou to assist the prince.

The prince doesn't need to take special care of them, it's their ability to fight.

If they can't fight it out, it means they don't have the ability.

There is also a son in Beizhong’s family, which is enough to provide for Beizhong in his old age.”

Ning Chen nodded: "You have become a strict father, but don't worry, I will definitely not take special care of them. After arriving in Jingzhou, everything will depend on their own performance."

Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, and Ning Chen has no intention of staying in Baijia City for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go to Jingzhou to check the situation first. Just hurry up here."

Ning Chen said something and flew directly towards Jingzhou.

Guo Xin stood behind him, maintaining a bowed posture, and sent Ning Chen off respectfully.

Five days later, Ning Chen arrived in Jingzhou.

This time Ning Chen entered Jingzhou much more smoothly.

Although it has been checked at all levels, it saves a lot of time and trouble.

After meeting with Prince Jing, Ning Chen was taken to check out the location where his Baijia City would be built next.
