Chapter 140 The Truth
Before Deputy Envoy Xuanwei came, Ye Li was writing letters to Ye Yunlang and Fu Mingxuan. As soon as the ink was dry, Wu Yu and Li Jianyun came with people, and Ye Li quickly put away the letters.

"The head of the family, this is Mr. Cai Ting, the former deputy envoy of Xuanwei."

The man in front of him was hunched over, unable to see his face clearly, Ye Li asked him to raise his head.After the man raised his head, everyone was shocked, half of the man's face was burned!
Ye Li did not reveal her identity as queen, cleared her throat and said,
"Since Wu Yu found you, I won't let you down. We are not a caravan. I am a female general named by His Majesty. I was ordered to lead the Women's Army here to destroy Rongdi. It is under the control of Rongdi people, but the common people are very friendly, what is the reason for this, I hope you will explain clearly one by one."

Cai Ting looked distressed, and Ye Li continued to add,
"Don't worry, I have an imperial decree here, and I'm not that bad person. Just say it, and I will protect you."

Ye Li gave Wu Yu a look, and Wu Yu immediately went to make a cup of tea for Cai Ting.

Cai Ting let out a long breath, bowed to the three of them, and began to talk.

"Hello generals, this official is Cai Ting, the former deputy envoy of Xuanwei. I have been staying in Huarong City since I was dismissed from office a year ago. conspiracy."

Ye Li motioned him to continue talking, Cai Ting wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, as if recalling a very painful event.

"I don't know if the general knows the consolation envoy Zheng Duo?"

Ye Li looked at Li Jianyun, and Li Jianyun recognized him, and Cai Ting continued.

"The villain was originally picked up by Mr. Zheng, and he has been the deputy envoy for propaganda and comfort for ten years. But last autumn, he was framed by the villain and the villain for stealing military expenses. If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it. The villain There is no way to argue, Mr. Zheng had no choice but to dismiss the villain in order to show fairness after his investigation was fruitless. Later, the villain came to Huarong City, and the Rongdi people came in the second month when I settled in Huarong City."

Ye Li was a little puzzled and asked,
"You said the Rongdi people came in? So the Rongdi people still captured Huarong City?"

"It may or may not be, because the soldiers guarding the city and the common people welcomed the Rongdi soldiers in together."

Now the three of them were even more confused.

"The three generals may be a little puzzled, but you will definitely not believe what I say next."

Cai Ting buried his face again, as if no one could understand him.

"Mr. Cai, do you think this has something to do with your being deposed a year ago and becoming what you are now?"

Ye Li looked at him with blazing eyes, believing what he said very much.

Cai Ting continued,
"I came to Huarong City to sell calligraphy and painting for a living. That day I wanted to sell calligraphy and painting on the street, but as soon as I went out, I saw a large number of people rushing outside the city gate, as if welcoming someone. Out of curiosity, I followed to have a look, and there was a group of Rongdi soldiers outside the city gate. I ran away with my head in my arms, but when I saw the people around me cheering, I stayed and observed for a while. The villain is also here, and in order to prevent him from persecuting me again, I will destroy my appearance."

"The Rongdi people didn't massacre after they entered the city. Instead, they seemed to come to protect Huarong City."

Ye Li and Wu Yu looked at each other, then heard Cai Ting continue to say,

"Later, I asked the original residents of Huarong City, and only then did I know the truth behind this incident."

It turns out that Huarong City was squeezed by local officials long before Cai Ting was deposed. High taxes and continuous conscription made Huarong City chaotic.And the common people discovered that the Rongdi people who had been harassing Huarong City before actually just wanted to avoid the sandstorm in the desert, not to persecute the people of Huarong City.Therefore, the strong men in the city spontaneously formed a team and reached an agreement with the Rongdi people. As long as Rongdi helped Huarong get rid of the pressure from Xuanweisi, Huarong City would allow some Rongdi people to live in Huarong City.

"What about those Rongdi people who didn't live in Huarong City?"

"The people who live in Huarong City are all women and old people. Most of the young and middle-aged people spontaneously formed a team to fight against the Xuanwei Division's army."

"So, instead of capturing Huarong City, Rong Di is protecting Huarong City?"

"Correct!"

Cai Ting took a long breath,

"The three generals came here to destroy Rong Diding because the Xuanwei Division distorted the facts. The villain has always been upright. I think it was because he hindered those people's plans that he ended up like this."

Ye Li thought about it thoughtfully, then said quickly,
"According to Mr. Cai, what does Xuanwei Division want to do?"

Speaking of this, Cai Ting's eyes flashed,
"The villain doesn't know, but what the villain can be sure of is that Xuan Weisi will never obediently obey the court's orders as before."

Ye Li asked Li Jianyun to settle down in Cai Ting and ensure his safety, so she wrote another letter to Fu Mingxuan.

Wu Yu looked at Ye Li from the side, and asked,
"Your Majesty, what do you think is going on? Why am I getting more and more incomprehensible?"

Ye Li thought to herself, maybe there are some ghosts in the Xuanwei Department, or maybe they want to rebel because they are corrupt and afraid that Fu Mingxuan will come to power to rectify them?

But the Xuanwei Department manages the four cities, so if they want to rebel, they shouldn't break up with Huarong City.If this is the case, is there someone behind the Xuanwei Division?
Ye Li had a headache thinking about it, so she asked Wu Yu how he was preparing for the night.

"It's all arranged, but do we still have to burn the food and grass?"

"Let's not act rashly, I need to observe tonight to see if it is the trick of the Rongdi people or the conspiracy of Xuanweisi."

Ye Li and the others were talking when they saw Yi Rong Di soldiers coming to their inn door.

"Hello girls, we are here in the name of the commander to invite all the girls to attend our little prince's birthday."

The Rongdi soldier smiled innocently, his row of big white teeth dazzling in the dark night.

"Thank you Commander Mu for your love, our sisters will be here soon."

Ye Li selected fifteen women who could play the piano and sing from the women's army, borrowed the piano from the innkeeper, and went to the Rongdi people's tent with Wu Yu and Li Jianyun.

Because they are nomads and are used to living in tents, the Rongdi people all live in an open space in the west of Huarong City, which fits the image of the Rongdi people in Mr. Cai's mouth.

"Have the rest of the Women's Army been arranged?"

"Don't worry, master, everyone is nervous."

When Ye Li and his party arrived at the tent, there was already a raging bonfire outside the tent. Many Rongdi men and women danced around the bonfire, which was very lively.

"Hey. You guys are here!"

Mu Xian shouted excitedly.
