Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 416 Entering the Green Pond
From the conversation with Zhang Yi, Li Yan knew very well that their purpose this time was not just to sell these goods and exchange them for war horses.

They also want to establish their own trade channels and look for partners who can cooperate with them for a long time in Qingtang.

If he behaves well this time, then in the future, he will definitely be able to get a share of the action.

And the business of big men like Zhang Yi and the others is not comparable to their petty troubles.

Let's put it this way, the profit from their previous trip was not enough for Zhang Yi and the others to raise so many smart and capable subordinates. Look at those fat horses, and then look at those warriors riding on horses. One is not well equipped.

To be honest, this kind of strength, not to mention his Li Yan, may not be able to match even those who have a reputation in the Hehuang area. These people can be regarded as the top group of wealthy businessmen in the Tang Dynasty.

The caravan hung behind the Tubo soldiers and rushed to Qingtang, hurriedly and slowly, but Zhang Yi and the others still failed to reach Qingtang before dark.

In one afternoon, they drove almost a hundred miles, but now they have reached the junction of Datang and Tubo, and a little further, they will enter the boundary of Qingtang.

During the period of war, although Datang did not have the habit of attacking Tubo, the Tubo people still did not let go of their vigilance, and the border was still heavily guarded, especially in important commercial areas like Qingtang.

Zhang Yi asked people to find a very remote leeward hillside, and then asked everyone to rest.

Although it was night, they didn't dare to start a fire. Everyone just ate dry food and then began to rest.

The night in Hehuang is still a bit cold, but fortunately, they brought some warm clothes this time, so as not to be frozen in the middle of the night.

After sending out a team of people to watch the night, Zhang Yi couldn't bear the fatigue and fell into a deep sleep. After riding so far on a horse during the day, although his body was considered strong now, he still felt very tired.

There is no fire, and at night, there will be no Tubo people who come to such a place idle and bored, so there is nothing wrong overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Xu Jingzong urged everyone to start their journey.

Zhang Yi woke up and ate something in a hurry and followed the crowd. To be honest, Zhang Yi was not used to being able to brush his teeth with green salt in the morning, but now is a special period, so he doesn't care about it so much.

Under the leadership of Li Yan, a group of people bypassed the Tubo army and quietly walked into the Qingtang from the small path.

It has to be said that several generations of Li Yan's family went to Qingtang, and they made a living by trading with the Tubo people. They are naturally familiar with these.

If it were Zhang Yi and the others, they would definitely not be able to find such a place. If they wanted to enter Qingtang, they would probably have to bribe the Tubo defenders over there, but according to the current situation, as long as they dared to bring such a A lot of things appeared in front of those Tubo people, and before they could speak, those Tubo people would kill all the people on their side and take the goods back as their trophies.

Before the sun came out, Li Yan took Zhang Yi and others to travel forty or fifty miles for more than an hour, and finally entered the Qingtang territory.

Li Yan's family has been in the Qingtang elite for several generations, and they still have very rich connections here. As soon as everyone arrived at Qingtang, Li Yan immediately took Zhang Yi and others to a friend's house.

A small house with two entrances and two exits is too common for ordinary houses in places like Chang'an, but in places like Qingtang, only wealthy families can afford it.

Li Yan quietly led Zhang Yi and others to knock on the back door. After several regular knocks, the door immediately opened with a bang.

The person who opened the door was a Han man who looked like a housekeeper. When he saw Li Yan, his eyes were full of joy, but when he saw Zhang Yi and others, his eyes were full of guard. If it wasn't for Li Yan's Zhang Yi believes that he will definitely close the door without hesitation.

"Who are these?" the butler asked, pointing to Zhang Yi.

Li Yan looked left and right, and then said: "Guard Wang, you can trust me, let us go in and talk first, we have the goods."

Hearing that the goods were brought, the man named Wang Guanshi didn't say anything anymore, and turned his body to let Zhang Yi and others go in. It was obvious that he also knew what the situation was like recently.

However, the back door was not big enough, so Zhang Yi had no choice but to unload the salt and other things from Wang Wu and the others and move them into the house.

Before entering the house, Zhang Yi made a gesture to Wang Wu, and Wang Wu understood, and immediately sent a few young men to stroll around.

Dozens of trucks of goods, then two hundred bags of things, more than 100 people to move, can be done in a quarter of an hour.

And when they were moving the goods, the owner of the house had already walked over.

"Brother, why are you here? I heard that these Tubo people robbed you of all your goods a few days ago. Is this true or false?"

The owner of this house is also a Han Chinese, but he is older, about 40 years old, and he patted Li Yan on the shoulder familiarly as soon as he came over.

And Zhang Yi can also tell from Li Yan's expression that the two of them are very familiar, and they are not the kind of hypocrisy.

"This matter, oh, it's a long story, but it was indeed robbed by those Tubo people." Li Yan shook his head, obviously he was still worried about this matter.

"By the way, brother, let me introduce you first. These are merchants from Chang'an. This time, my task is to bring them to Qingtang."

Li Yan pointed to Zhang Yi and others behind him and began to introduce. At this time, those young and strong people who moved the goods also moved all the goods into the house. More than 200 bags of goods filled the cellar and warehouse of the Wang family.

The young and strong people who had finished moving the goods were all standing behind Zhang Yi and the others. Although Wang Zaixu had seen many big scenes, he still felt very imposing.

"This is my eldest brother, Wang Zaixu. Back then, the ancestors of our two families went to the Qingtang together, and ran goods together. Until now, our two families can be regarded as family friends."

After Li Yan introduced Zhang Yi and others, he introduced Wang Zaixu to Zhang Yi and others.

"Since he is Brother Li's eldest brother, then we will not be polite, and we will need your care in the future."

Just after the introduction, Zhang Yi was the first to go up to say hello. After all, this is a family home, and as a guest, he should take the initiative.

"There, brother Zhang is gone. Now in Qingtang, it is not easy to meet Han people, especially those who dare to sell goods here at this time. Wang admires them even more."

As Wang Zaixu spoke, he also cupped his hands towards Zhang Yi.

With such a big fight on Zhang Yi's side, no matter how stupid Wang Zaixu is, he knows that his family background definitely belongs to the very strong category, so now he plans to make friends with Zhang Yi.
