Even if Yun Zhentian was stupid, he had already guessed that the Yun brothers must have done something to attract the attention of the Yu family.
The affordable salt hadn't been launched yet, so Yu Shida was trying to scam him.
A faint sneer appeared on his lips. “General Yu is joking. My father, elder brother, and nephew, along with all the Yun family troops, died at Yanmen Pass. My two nephews were lucky enough to survive. When they arrived in the south, my wife used her dowry to help them out. Now, after planting two seasons of grain, they are barely able to fill their stomachs. Where would they get the money to build an army?”
Yu Shida choked on his words. The fact that the Yun family had purchased grain several times was common knowledge throughout the entire Nanzhou Prefecture.

As he left, Yun Kang, who was kneeling at the door, got up from the ground and spat at his back.
"Pah! All pretense."
Yun Kang suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned around and saw Yun Zhentian with a gloomy face and eyes that looked like he wanted to devour him.
