Nangong Mo nodded, "sit down and talk. What's going on in Prince Ning's house now?"

Liu Han shook his head and said, "it seems that King Ning is iron and doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of Youzhou and the imperial court. These days, Taining Wei still hasn't changed as usual. But..."

"But what?"

Liu Han said, "because of the war between the two sides, now some people have fled to Xizhou."

At any time, as long as there is a war, ordinary people suffer the most. They have nothing to protect themselves. What they rely on is just a few acres of thin farmland or doing small business to live and pray for peace and prosperity. If the world is really chaotic, they can only accept it, like rootless piaping struggling in the troubled times.

"What's the reaction of King Ning?" Nangong Mo asked.

Liu Han frowned and said, "King Ning didn't say anything, just as nothing happened. Many people have fled to Xizhou."

Hearing the speech, Wei Junmo frowned slightly. Nangong Mo asked, "why?"

Wei Junmo pondered for a moment before he said, "Xizhou is not enough to feed a large number of refugees, whether it is food or land." Xizhou's geographical conditions are really very general, so even in the peaceful and prosperous times, the population here will not soar like the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River. Because the land that can be cultivated here is very limited, in the prosperous era of peace, people can only starve to death without land.

"How many people can Xi Zhou accommodate?" Nangong Mo asked. She hadn't paid attention to these problems before. After all, Xizhou is the territory of ningwang. Even if they want ningwang to help Youzhou now, their first concern is only ningwang's own attitude and the situation of Tainingwei.

Wei Junmo said, "up to 200000."

"There should be no problem for the time being," Nangong Mo said. The population in the North was not large. Once a war broke out, most people would choose to flee to the South or closer to Youzhou in the north, rather than to Xizhou, which was not rich in their impression. Therefore, those who come to Xizhou will not exceed the accommodation of Xizhou in a short time.

Wei Junmo shook his head, "but king Ning didn't settle these people either." if the refugees are not properly settled, they will become refugees. At that time, it will not only be the problem of food, but even the public security of Xi Prefecture will have a big problem.

"King Ning wants to expand his army." for a long time, Wei Junmo said faintly.

"Army expansion?" Nangong Mo was surprised. Wei Junmo said, "as long as king Ning expands his army, the problem of excessive population in Xizhou will be solved soon."

"However, the army expansion also needs military pay and food and grass." Liu Han couldn't help saying.

Wei Junmo said calmly, "now King Yan's house and the imperial court are asking him. Naturally, he doesn't worry about food and grass."

Nangong Mo suddenly realized, "so... King Ning is already preparing to negotiate with us."

Wei Junmo nodded slightly, "it should be so."

Nangong clearly understood King Ning's plan. He will help whoever gives more benefits, or he can still take profits from it without helping each other. After all, as long as he shows a little tendency towards whom, it is extremely unfavorable to the other side.

"If so, what are you going to do?" Nangong Mo asked.

Wei Junmo picked his eyebrows and said faintly, "don't worry."

Nangong Mo shrugged, "well, I'll wait and see."

Once again, Wei Hongfei returned empty handed. His even black was about to drip ink. Angrily, he returned to the Inn and happened to meet Nangong Mo and Liu Han. They met in the downstairs lobby. Obviously, no one wanted to talk to anyone. Wei Hongfei glanced at them and left with a cold face.

But Wei Junbo nodded at them. Wei Junze glanced at them with pity and followed his father and brother.

Nangong Mo smiled at the back of the three men and said with a smile, "it seems that they have failed again."

Liu Han also said with a smile, "this result is not surprising. How can people like King Ning be solved by their hospitality?" these days, they also have some understanding of King Ning. The prince, I have to say, is indeed a wonderful flower in the royal family. If you think he is reckless and incompetent and only knows pleasure, it must be you who will suffer in the end.

"I'm a little curious about what Wei Hongfei will do next."

Liu Han said, "my subordinates will make people stare at them."

Now this Xizhou city is so strange. Wei Hongfei's people stare at them and King Ning's house, and the people of King Ning's house also stare at Wei Hongfei and them. Naturally, they will not let Wei Hongfei and King Ning go. On the surface, we coexist peacefully. In fact, we are on guard against each other and are ready to dismantle each other's platform at any time.

Xizhou city is not much different from Youzhou City, except that Youzhou city left many houses of the former dynasty because it was the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. In general, the style is rough and heroic. I can see it when I first came here. I can't see it through for a long time. In contrast, Nangong Mo prefers to go to the city tower. This is the ancient city building with a history of hundreds of years. When you climb the city building and look west, you can see the ancient battlefield not far from the city. Since ancient times, many foreign races have invaded here, and generations of soldiers stationed at the border have fought bloody battles here. It was not until the establishment of the great Xia Dynasty that the territory was expanded to the West that the place really calmed down in recent decades.

Today, there are no more heavy troops stationed on the city tower of Xizhou, but only a few patrol troops. The city tower was originally not accessible to ordinary people, but Nangong Mo was brought by King Ning for the first time. Later, the soldiers guarding the city didn't know if they had been ordered, but they no longer stopped her. Being idle and bored, Nangong Mo would occasionally walk up the city tower with Wei Junmo.

"Princess Xingcheng." at the entrance of the tower, a soldier respectfully saluted.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrow, "is there someone on it?"

The soldier nodded and said, "the Lord is up. The Lord asks the princess to go up too."

Nangong Mo nodded, "please lead the way."

Before climbing the tower, I heard the music and dance of silk and bamboo from the tower. Nangong Mo can't help laughing. His highness Ning is very good at tossing and seems to spare no effort to make the world think he is a dandy who doesn't make progress. I don't know if he wants to hide himself, or is he too wild, or both?

Seeing Nangong Mo coming up, King Ning turned to raise his glass to her and said with a smile, "Princess Xingcheng, come and have a drink together?"

Nangong Mo a black line, "the Lord is at ease."

Ning Wang laughed, "you must enjoy your life when you are proud. The princess is not a layman. Why care about these red tape?"

"I've seen the princess." Biyan, sitting beside King Ning, got up and saluted.

"Princess, we meet again." a charming female voice sounded. Nangong Mo picked his eyebrows, but he was still an acquaintance. It was the landlady I met in the spice shop that day. Look at the beautiful women sitting next to Ning Wang, all of them are first-class. The women smiled and saluted to her under the sign of King Ning.
