Thinking of the stolen grain, salt, and refined iron intended for military expansion, Ma Yi couldn't help but fly into a rage.
"Great Lord, now that those things have fallen into the hands of the Yuezhi people, it might actually be a good thing for us!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that, Mr. Qian?"
Ma Yi looked at Qian Lai beside him, puzzled.
Qian Lai smiled and then said:
“Great sir, think about it. Originally, you would have had to spend a lot of money to buy those things, but now they have been stolen by the Yuezhi people and have become ownerless!”

"Oh, so it's Commander Yang. May I ask what brings General Duan here?"
Looking at Yang Feng, Ma Yi couldn't help but ask.
Yang Feng chuckled. "Hehe~, it's nothing serious. My general was entrusted by the Prefect of Jincheng to come and ask you, sir, if you have any extra slaves under your command?"
