Luoxe City, as the capital of Tubo, is located on a plateau, but it is the capital of a country after all. Therefore, there are many business travelers in Luoxe City.
The merchants here are not only from outside the region, but also many Han merchants.
There were even many Han merchants who settled here directly, and Qin Laoshi was one of them.
Qin Laoshi is forty years old this year.
Because his family was poor in his early years and could not survive, he risked his life at the age of twenty and followed a caravan to Tubo to do business.
Because of my flexible mind, I later went out on my own and did very well.
Nowadays, the main purpose is to buy Tibetan cattle and sheep at low prices and resell them to the Tang Dynasty to earn the price difference.
Because Qin Laoshi adheres to the strategy of making small profits but quick turnover, and is relatively diligent, he has made a lot of money in a few years.
Once a person is rich, it is easy to start a family and start a business. When he was twenty-four years old, he married a beautiful local daughter-in-law in Tubo.
When he was twenty-five years old, a pair of children were born, which made Qin Laoshi, an old man, very happy.
Now more than ten years have passed, and my son has reached the age of starting a family, and my daughter is taller and taller, and she is considered happy and happy.
Originally, he wanted to finish the last business deal and take his children back to Datang, so that he could find a good family for his son and daughter.
After all, in Qin Laoshi's heart, his roots are in the Tang Dynasty...
Unfortunately, God's fate is not good enough. Songtsen Gampo sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty on the grounds that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty refused to marry, making a businessman of Han descent like him a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.
If it hadn't been for some Tibetan friends over the years, they might have been beaten to death long ago.
However, during this period of time, with the help of friends, I have been able to sell almost all of my family property, and I will just wait for the war to end and find an opportunity to return to Datang.
Who would have thought that this morning he suddenly heard that the Tang army was approaching the city, which made Qin Laoshi cry with joy.
Since the war between the two countries, the life of Han merchants has been too difficult.
Of course, Qin Laoshi had a natural affinity for the army of his motherland.
Therefore, when the new Tubo leader Zanpu led all the courtiers to surrender, Qin Laoshi directly asked his son to write several big-character posters and put them at home.
As soon as the Tang army entered the city, they could place it at the door to express their Han identity.
Qin Laoshi even took out the good wine that he would only drink on festivals in the past to prepare for the labor force.
The wife and daughter also cooked a large pot of mutton soup. As soon as the Tang army entered the city, they could express their wish to welcome the king and let the Tang army have a sip of hot soup.
At this moment, there was a rumble of footsteps in the distance, and then Qin Laoshi heard someone shouting-The Tang Army has entered the city!
Qin Laoshi was so happy that he quickly picked up the big letters and placed them at the entrance of the courtyard, and all the courtyard doors were opened.
Just a burst of noisy crying came, and Qin Laoshi couldn't help but secretly stretched out his head to take a look.
Looking from a distance, I saw a group of soldiers chasing the people in the city and grabbing things.
Qin Laoshi's heart tightened, what kind of army was this? They were just a group of bandits. He was so frightened that he quickly prepared to close the door.
Unfortunately, the door was kicked open before it was closed tightly, and Qin Laoshi was beaten to a pulp. Then a group of Tang soldiers broke in, numbering at least a dozen people.
The leader looked around the courtyard for a week, and after seeing that there was no danger, he asked Qin Laoshi, who fell to the ground: "You said outside that you cooked something to work for the army, is it true?"
"Yes, Lord Jun. I am also a native Han Chinese. When I heard the arrival of Tang Jun, I naturally had to express my condolences..." Although Qin Laoshi's smile was a little stiff, he still got up quickly to explain.
After all, there was something wrong with this group of Tang soldiers. They were carrying large and small bags with things that they had obviously just snatched.
I just hope that these guys will not do anything outrageous for the sake of being Han Chinese.
The leader just hummed and strode towards the big pot in the corner of the courtyard. When he lifted the lid and took a look, his face was filled with joy.
Grains
"Brothers, come here quickly, you are in for a treat!"
As he said that, he picked up an earthen bowl from the side, scooped out a big ladle of mutton soup, picked up a large piece of mutton, and started to chew on it.
It might have burned my mouth, so I rolled my eyes and picked up the wine bottle next to me and started drinking directly.
While eating and drinking, he never forgot to shout: "If you want something to eat, hurry up, don't delay me from going to the next restaurant!"
The other soldiers roared and rushed over in a swarm, imitating the example...
However, there were so many people grabbing food together, causing pots and pans to crash all over the floor. It was almost like a starving ghost!
In a short while, the large pot of mutton soup was all divided up.
The mother and daughter of the Qin family heard the noise in the house and walked out cautiously.
Seeing Tang Bing who looked like a bandit, he was dumbfounded. This was not at all like what his man (father) said Tang Bing looked like?
The leader had just finished the wine and meat, wiped his mouth casually, and then saw the mother and daughter of the Qin family walking out of the back room, and his eyes straightened instantly.
Qin Laoshi's wife is only in her thirties now. Because her family is well-off, she is well-maintained, like a ripe apple.
The daughter of the Qin family is only fourteen years old now. Although she has not yet fully developed and is a bit green, her face is very beautiful.
As for the son of the Qin family, he simply ignored him!
Seeing the Qin family's mother and daughter looking frightened and timid, the leader's eyes were filled with lust.
Seeing this scene, Qin Laoshi was shocked and shouted quickly: "Go back to the house quickly and don't disturb Master Jun from eating."
After saying that, he quickly turned to face the group of Tang soldiers and smiled apologetically: "Master, I'm really sorry, my wife is not sensible... Have you eaten and drank well?"
The leader looked at the disappearing figure and said with a playful smile: "It seems that you are dishonest. You also said that you are Han. This is obviously a Tubo story. I need to check it myself..."
The soldiers laughed loudly and asked: "Colonel Zhang, I don't know which one you want to interrogate personally. We will bring it to you!"
Looking at his sensible subordinates, the captain chuckled and said, "Humph, who told you to be troublesome? Of course we will interrogate you together. After I finish the interrogation, I will leave it up to you..."
"Thank you Captain!"
Listening to these people's unscrupulous discussion, Qin Laoshi's face turned pale and his eyes were about to burst.
This is the Tang soldiers that he longs to reward. Is this the majestic army of the Celestial Empire?
Simply worse than bandits.
I could only hug the captain's thigh and beg hard: "Master, you can't do this. I am really a Han Chinese..."
The captain's sperm got into his head and he couldn't care so much. He suddenly became furious and said, "Let go quickly, otherwise, huh!"
As he said that, he kicked Qin Laoshi on the shoulder, causing Qin Laoshi to fall to the ground with an ouch.
As for Qin Laoshi's wailing, the captain didn't even bother to take a look, so he turned around and walked towards the back room...
Qin Laoshi's liver and gallbladder were split. He ignored the pain and rushed towards the captain like crazy, shouting: "Master, you can't do this. I am a Han, you can't do this to us..."
However, before Qin Laoshi took two steps, he was stopped by the soldiers. The soldiers cursed and said: "Old guy, don't be ignorant of promotions. Do you know who the captain is..."
"No, you bunch of beasts..." But before Qin Lao finished speaking, he saw a flash of knife in front of his eyes, and his whole body fell softly.
But the moment he fell, he caught a glimpse of his own son in front of the leader and had his neck slashed with a knife.
His wife and daughter were also dragged into the back room by the captain amid a burst of screams!
