Faced with Kong Ming's question, Duan Yuanyi replied very simply: "Lord Kong doesn't know, the border between Izumo County and Shazhou stretches for thousands of miles, and it has often been harassed by sand thieves since ancient times. Those sand thieves from Shazhou are uneducated, do not produce, and are savage by nature, cruel and murderous, and purely live by plundering. Although these sand thieves are very headaches, the sand thieves in the past were all scattered sand, fighting for themselves, they can be called thieves, but they are not enemies. But this time the situation is different, I don't know how those sand thieves in Ludao changed their temperament and actually became organized, and now I don't know how many sand thieves have joined forces and lined up on the border, as if they were going to fight a regular battle with our country. Moreover, after these sand pirates became organized, they also changed their normal behavior and attached great importance to intelligence work, and after the border was blocked, what was going on in Shazhou could not be reported back through any channel. With the enemy's situation unclear and the enemy unprecedentedly strong, although we are still some distance from the front line, we in Yunxia City have to be vigilant and implement a curfew just in case. ”

Kong Ming nodded and said, "I see." However, I have heard that the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance has quite a way to trade between Shazhou and our Liangzhou, but now that the situation is special, there is nothing the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can do?"

Duan Yuanyi sighed and said: "Now the situation in Shazhou has changed, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is also in a hurry, because they have three large-scale caravans trapped in Shazhou, and there has been no news back, and I don't know what is going on in the Dao." If it is really a war disaster, with the strength of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, what role can it play in the face of war?"

Regarding Duan Yuanyi's statement, Kong Ming was a little noncommittal, because the war was together, but it was the time when those powerful big merchants made a lot of war money, and since the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was able to monopolize the business on the border before the war, even after the outbreak of the war. They're not completely helpless. Perhaps, it is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance that really wants the war to start sooner!

Duan Yuanyi can act as the head of the city, he will never be short-sighted, and it is impossible not to understand the truth of this. But he said so in front of Kong Ming. What does that mean exactly?

Is it to cover for the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? Or do you want to capture the past and deliberately want to draw Kong Ming's attention to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?

If Duan Yuanyi saw that Kong Ming was young and thought that Kong Ming was better at fooling, then he was very wrong. And Kong Ming didn't mind putting on a "treacherous" appearance in front of Duan Yuanyi. Deliberately "bitter" and said: "In this way, it is really unfortunate to come here, this army is in chaos, God knows if there will be any disasters in the Dao? Moreover, the five hundred households in the lower five hundred restaurants are all outside the city." If there is really a war together, I don't know how Lu Dao will arrange them. It's not like just after I got the knighthood, and the fief became a white land because of the war, and the food was scattered, right?"

Duan Yuanyi smiled and said, "At this point, Lord Kong, please rest assured, no matter whether the war will spread to our Yunxia City, there is still a way to ensure the safety of the farmers outside the city." Commander He has already set aside a special resettlement area in the city for refugees to take refuge, and if those sand thieves really want to intrude on our Yunxia City, the farmers outside the city can temporarily settle in the city first. As long as Yunxia City is not broken. In the future, there will be a chance to build another home!"

Kong Ming smiled and said, "I see, then I will be much more relieved." I heard that Commander He was born in the border army, and he must have a lot of experience in fighting with sand pirates, and he led the army to protect Yunxia City. It's supposed to be impregnable!"

Duan Yuanyi smiled "hehe" and said, "My patron saint of Yunxia City, how can I be the commander? As long as a few elders in the Yunxia Sect can make a move at a critical moment. We will definitely be able to repel the invading strong enemy in Shazhou!"

Kong Ming nodded and said, "The name of the Yunxia Sect." I've heard about it below. It is said that more than 200 years ago, the military disaster, is an extremely powerful sand thieves broke through the front line blockade, killed under Yunxia City, if it were not for the 'Renjun' Lord sacrificed his life to keep the sand thieves out of the city gate, to buy time for the rescue troops, Yunxia City would have been lost. It is said that after Lord Renjun burned the fire, the first person to come to the aid was the master of the Yunxia faction!

Duan Yuanyi shook his head and said indifferently: "Lord Kong doesn't know, at that time, the ancestor was just an ordinary student, and he didn't have any contact with the masters of the Yunxia Sect. But at the beginning of that battle, it was indeed the master of the Yunxia faction who arrived first, following the ancestor of my family, and blocked the sand thieves from the city gate, and now the head of the Yunxia faction, the Venerable Yunya, once participated in that battle, and even a few bones of the ancestor of my family were also rescued from the fire by the Venerable Yunya. In retrospect, my Duan family has always been grateful to the masters of the Yunxia Sect, but the Yunxia Sect has never been very concerned with worldly matters, which also makes the descendants of my Duan family not have many opportunities to meet the masters of the Yunxia Sect. ”

I don't know if Duan Yuanyi's words are true or false, and I don't know whether the relationship between their Duan family and the Yunxia faction is good or bad. However, although this Duan Yuanyi has always had something to say, he also pointed out to Kong Ming that the most powerful people in Yunxia City are those people. If it is a miscellaneous fish character with little strength, what qualifications does he have to appear in his Duan Yuanyi's mouth?

Judging from Duan Yuanyi's words and deeds, he should be a person who is sleek by nature and old in accidents, no wonder he can temporarily act as the head of the Duan family, and his attitude also shows that no matter how many forces exist in Yunxia City, their Duan family's position is the most unique, and all forces will choose to be friendly with them, and they will not be stupid to be enemies with them!

If anyone is really stupid to be an enemy of the Duan family, it is almost right with the entire Yunxia City, and in the eyes of the world's scholars, they will also be labeled as a wicked person!

Kong Ming naturally would not make such a mistake, and after gossiping a few words with Duan Yuanyi, he proposed to go to the tomb of "Renjun" to pay homage to express his admiration for this sage.

Duan Yuanyi naturally would not refuse, and after arranging the worship according to the ancient rites, he worshiped "Renjun" with Kong Ming, and then politely sent Kong Ming and his party out of Duan's mansion.
