The playboy daughter is about to turn the sky

Chapter 139 Caravan
Before dark, Ye Li and his party finally arrived at Huarong City.

"Ma'am, no, we're here, the head of the family."

Ye Li looked up at the pile of sand, and could barely make out the words "Huarong City".The city gate is extremely high and filled with a lot of wind and sand.A row of tall men stood at the door, their appearance was very different from that of the Central Plains people.Most people in the Central Plains have flat facial features and fair skin, but this group of guards have three-dimensional facial features, especially the nose, which is extremely high, and their skin is yellowish. It is undoubtedly the Rongdi people.

Ye Li told everyone to get ready and entered the city!

"Stop, you... who are you!"

A Rongdi man spoke a not-so-fluent Central Plains dialect, and shouted at Ye Li's group about 200 meters outside the city gate. Fortunately, Li Jianyun could understand.

The Rongdi people saw that they were dusty and sallow and thin, so they didn't call up the army.

Ye Li brought Wu Yu and Li Jianyun to the city gate, took off the veil on her face and said to the city guard,
"Hello sir, we are a caravan from the Central Plains, and we are not lost in the desert. I wonder if we can let our people go to the city to rest for a few days, and we will leave after we have rectified."

Ye Li pretended not to know that they were from the Rongdi people, with a sincere attitude, the Rongdi person gave a look to the guard beside him, and then spoke lamely.

"You said, you are from the Central Plains?"

"Yes, sir, we came from Zhongyuan a few months ago and planned to do some business in the four border cities. We didn't want our caravan to get lost because of the wind and sand on the road. Fortunately, we stumbled to Huarong City, please sir Let us go into town."

After a while, a pair of Rongdi soldiers came. The officer squinted his eyes and asked Ye Li,

"We let you into the city? Why should we let you into the city?"

Ye Li curled her lips into a smile. Although she had smeared her complexion, she did not hide her appearance and was still extremely beautiful.

"If the commander is willing to let us go to the city to rest, I am willing to dedicate all the Central Plains goods we brought this time to Huarong City."

Chief Rong Di looked at the woman in front of him calmly, not afraid of them at all, a thought flashed through his mind.But soon there was no such idea.

"Most of our caravans are a group of helpless women. You can rest assured that we won't be that bad guy."

"woman?"

"Sir, I don't know. We used to be singers and qin girls in a qin shop in central Beijing. But the luck was bad, and the business was bleak, so we had to take my sisters to form a caravan to support our family."

"You, married?"

"The little girl's husband is a sick man, and I have to take care of everything in the family..."

After talking about Ye Li's acting skills, she wanted to hold back tears, but Chief Rong Di was a soft-hearted person, and immediately said to Ye Li,

"Since you have been walking in the desert for so many days, I will show mercy and let you enter the city, but if I find out what tricks you are doing, I will not keep any of you."

"Thank you sir!"

The three of Ye Li thanked Chief Rong and Di, and let the Detachment of Women and others come forward.

"Sir, in order to thank you for allowing us to enter the city, we only have some talents besides these goods. If the officer does not dislike it, we will allow our sisters to sing a song for the officer to express our gratitude!"

A soldier next to the officer spoke excitedly to Chief Narong Di in Rong Di dialect, and Chief Na Rong Di smiled and said to Ye Li,

"It just so happens that today is our little prince's birthday, so please invite the girls to our dinner party to celebrate our little prince's birthday!"

Ye Li nodded, the officer arranged for Ye Li and the others to prepare a place to live.Ye Li felt that these Rongdi people seemed not as bloody and cruel as the officials said in the booklet, but they still had a bit of human touch.

The officer sent Yeli and the others into the city, and said to Yeli,

"Girl, you don't have to call me officer, I'm just a soldier, just call me Mu Xian."

"Then thank you, Brother Mu!"

After Ye Li and his party arrived at the inn arranged by the Rongdi people, Ye Li stood by the window and glanced around, and found that Huarong City was not as desolate and miserable as imagined to be shrouded in war, but the people lived happily and happily.It may be during the flowering season, and the streets are full of floats carrying fragrant flowers.

Ye Li's eyes turned cold, and Wu Yu didn't know what was going on, so he asked Ye Li,

"The master, didn't you say that Huarong City was occupied by Rongdi, and the people are living in dire straits? Why do I feel that this place looks like a small Jiangnan when I look at it this way?"

"I don't know either, Wu Yu, do you know who the officials in charge of the four border cities are?"

"Except for the capital city of the eighteen cities in the Central Plains, which is managed by the emperor, the remaining seventeen cities are all managed by prefects. And the four border cities are managed by Xuanweisi because of their geographical location."

Li Jianyun on the side added, Ye Li was still puzzled, so she continued to ask,
"Is the Xuanwei Department integrated with the military and the government or with decentralized management? I saw that the document clearly stated that the four border cities fell, and the Rongdi army was raging in the city. But now it looks very different from the reality."

"The Consolation Division is managed by the military and the government, but our Ye Family Army only obeys the emperor's orders. According to the head of the family, we suspect that the documents of the Consolation Commissioner are wrong?"

Wu Yu added,
"Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, some people are already ready to move."

"We don't know the truth yet, so don't act rashly, what if it's a trick by the Rongdi people?"

Li Jianyun quickly corrected Wu Yu's thoughts, and Ye Li interrupted their thoughts.

"Okay, you all stop arguing. General Li is right. The matter has not been found out yet, so you really shouldn't act rashly. But what Wu Yu said is also reasonable. Maybe there is some conspiracy behind it. No matter what it is , now we are all in the whirlpool, and we will naturally know when we find out."

Both Wu Yu and Li Jianyun nodded in agreement, and Ye Li continued to arrange the tasks for tonight.

"Just now the Rongdi people said that tonight is their little prince's birthday, and we met a good time. Let the Detachment of Women quietly inquire about the strength of the Rongdi people in the city, and where is the granary? What Wu Yu said just now is also very interesting. It makes sense, it's best to find the original officials of Huarong City to ask the truth."

"Okay, master, we will arrange it right away."

After Wu Yu and Li Jianyun left, Ye Li was the only one left in the room. Standing by the window and looking at the magnificent desert scenery in the distance, she couldn't help thinking of Fu Mingxuan in the capital, and murmured to herself,
"I see how charming Qingshan is, but Qingshan should be like this when I see me."

Night soon fell, and the night in the desert was darker and cooler than that in Beijing. Wu Yu and Li Jianyun also found the Deputy Xuanwei envoy of Huarong City before the banquet started.
