Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, it has entered December, this morning, Wang Heng still smelled the chicken, after boiling his body, he followed those elite righteous servants to practice martial arts, today he is practicing hand-to-hand combat with Zhao Chou and Zhao Hu brothers.

The brothers Zhao Chou and Zhao Hu are both Langya light heroes, both have courage, are good at hand-to-hand combat, and are also the leaders of this group of elite righteous followers.

When Wang Heng first heard Zhao Chou's name, he still felt a little funny, how could anyone choose such a name? However, he soon learned that the name Zhao Chou was still taken by his father Wang Rong.

Zhao Chou's original name was Zhao Niu'er, and later after he followed Wang Ei, he felt that this name was not good, and there were many such names in the Yellow Turban Army, which sounded like a Yellow Turban Army, so he begged Wang Ei to give him a name, because he was born in the fourth year of Emperor Heng Yanxi, that is, the year of Xin Chou, and Chou also has the meaning of cow, so Wang Ei took this name for him.

And Wang Heng also knew that in ancient times, the ugliness of the ugly cow and the ugly ugliness were not the same word, and the ugly ugliness was written as "ugly" in traditional Chinese, which also gave Wang Heng a deeper understanding of the difference between this era and the era he came from.

Zhao Chou and Zhao Hu brothers are both strong men with tigers on their backs, they are in their twenties, their hand-to-hand fighting skills, that is, fist and foot kung fu are very good, for Wang Heng's only son, Wang Heng, of course, they are dedicated to teaching them, without hiding any selfishness.

After an hour of practice, Wang Heng was already out of breath and sweating profusely, but the Zhao brothers did not show much fatigue. Zhao Chou smiled at Wang Heng and said: "Childe, your talent is too good, now that your moves have been mastered, I think it won't take two years, and when you grow up, we won't be your opponent." ”

Zhao Chou's words are not completely complimentary, Wang Heng's body foundation is good, and his talent for practicing martial arts is indeed outstanding, plus he came to this troubled era, and he knows the importance of force, so he works very hard to practice martial arts, he also likes sports in modern times, and he is still very basic for exercise, and he will naturally make rapid progress when practicing kung fu, and if he practices like this for a year or two, when Wang Heng grows tall, he and Zhao Chou brothers are right, and it is not a strange thing.

Wang Heng took the sweat towel handed over by a house slave, wiped the sweat all over his body, and said to Zhao Chou with a smile: "Brother Zhao, let's go to the market to buy some things in the afternoon, you bring a few more brothers." ”

Zhao Chou was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. There is not much entertainment in this era, so following Wang Heng to the market is the best way to relieve boredom, you must know that it is already December, only about 20 days away from Zhengdan, and the market is already very lively, very interesting.

In addition, Wang Heng has a bold temperament and is generous, and if he follows him to the market, he will not treat them badly, so everyone is willing to follow him out.

Wang Heng laughed, he went to take a cold shower, then went to the study to finish today's homework, and after lunch, he took Zhao Chou, Zhao Hu and a group of more than ten people out of the door and went to the market.

During this time, Wang Heng was studying how to improve the existing paper. The existing paper is improved by Cai Lun, and the quality is already good, but in the eyes of Wang Heng, a person from modern times, this kind of paper is not in the eyes, too rough, not white enough, in short, there is still a lot of room for improvement, if you can make the white and good quality paper of later generations, then for him, the benefits are very many.

In addition, Wang Heng also wants to drum up movable type printing, papermaking and movable type printing are not technically difficult for him, but if he can succeed, the rewards he can get are huge.

So Wang Heng went to the bazaar to buy something that was suitable.

Although Hanshou County is not a big city, but after all, it is the seat of the state and county, its market is still relatively prosperous, and now the season is December, and it is getting closer and closer to Zhengdan, so the market in Hanshou County is becoming more and more lively these days, the merchants from all over the country are shouting and selling in the market, and the people of several nearby counties have also come to Hanshou County, some want to sell some of their native products for some money, some want to buy some New Year's goods home, the whole market is bustling, shoulder to shoulder, A bustling scene.

Among these crowds, there were also some barbarians who were dressed differently from the Han people, and their clothing was somewhat similar to the Miao, Yao, and Dong people in later generations, and Wang Heng understood that this should be the Wuling barbarians he had seen in the book.

Most of these barbarians also take advantage of the most lively time of the year to bring some of their produce and sell it, and then buy some of their necessities, such as salt, cloth, and the like.

Wang Heng is accustomed to this prosperous scene, no matter which small county town, or even the bazaar of the village and town in the later generations, it will be much more lively than this during the New Year's Festival, and the goods that can be bought are also more abundant, so he did not show any fuss, he bought what he needed in one shop after another, and after paying the bill, he asked the shop pù to send him to the Thorn Mansion.

And those righteous servants who followed him out were different, they were all young people about twenty years old, and they liked novelties the most, seeing such prosperity, especially those barbarians whose customs were very different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains, made them even more curious, and their eyes fell on those barbarian women with beautiful faces from time to time, after all, the style of these barbarian women is very different from that of Han women, and their curiosity is inevitable.

After turning for a while, Wang Heng bought almost everything he wanted to buy, and the rest of the time, he asked Zhao Chou, Zhao Hu and others to choose some things that he could use.

Wang Heng knows very well that these righteous servants who have followed his father from Langya and come all the way to Jingzhou are the most reliable force he can rely on in this troubled world now, of course he wants to envelop them well, for this, how can he be stingy with some money? So he asked Zhao Chou and others not to save money for themselves, and to take whatever they liked.

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Heng's words, Zhao Chou and the others showed gratitude in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, and they picked out their favorite things together.

Just when everyone was happily buying something, there was a noise from the other end of the market, and many panicked people ran from that end.

Wang Heng frowned, and gestured to Zhao Chou, who understood, stopped a middle-aged man and said, "What's going on over there?" ”

The middle-aged man replied in a panic: "Cao Taishou's son bullied the barbarians there, and the two sides are fighting, run!" ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man pulled his feet and ran, and while running, he looked back at the same time, his face was frightened, obviously afraid of this Cao Taishou's son.

Wang Heng and Zhao Chou glanced at each other, this Cao Taishou is Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling County, this person is also one of the culprits who killed Wang Heng a few years later, in this sense, he and Wang Heng can be said to have a grudge against his father.

Of course, this incident hasn't happened yet, but now Cao Yin and Wang Rong have some mismatches.

Cao Yin has been a Taishou in Wuling County for more than two years, and many people are reluctant to come to this place in Wuling, so Cao Yin's Taishou position is very stable, and he is also here to be a prestige and a blessing, and he is very comfortable with it.

After Wang Ei came to Jingzhou, Cao Yin was also one of the Taishou who didn't buy much of him, he believed that he was deeply rooted in Wuling, and his rank was far higher than that of Wang Ei, so his orders or requirements for Wang Ei have always been yang and yin, so that Wang Ei is tied in Wuling, and he can't be used.

In addition, the previous Jingzhou Thorn Shi was old and mediocre, and he didn't pose any threat to Cao Yin, but Wang Rong was in his prime, and he seemed to be a difficult person to deal with. Therefore, he couldn't let Wang Rong gain a firm foothold in Wuling.

Maybe this is the source of the bad relationship between Cao Yin and Wang Heng, which also directly led to a few years later, Cao Yin heard that Wang Heng was going to deal with him, so he forged the documents of the Qin Cha and killed Wang Heng.

Cao Yin is so bold, of course his son is not a good bird, he has only one son, named Cao Ze, in his early twenties this year, this Cao Ze is completely a gentleman, relying on his father's power, Cheng Ri with a group of nursing homes, in Wuling City is rampant, oppressing the good, therefore, the people of Wuling are afraid of him like a tiger.

Wang Heng heard that it was Cao Ze who was doing evil again, so he walked in the direction where the middle-aged man ran over, and of course Zhao Chou, Zhao Hu and others followed behind without hesitation.

After walking a short distance, Wang Heng saw Cao Ze and his group surrounding three barbarians, these three barbarians were two men and one woman, one of the two men looked like he was in his early thirties, and the other looked childish, only a teenager, and he was still a barbarian boy, and the woman was the same age as the teenager, a barbarian girl.

The barbarian man in his thirties was short and sturdy, and his appearance was not much unusual, but the barbarian boy was of a different appearance, although he was only a teenager, he was nine feet tall, and his hands and feet were long, and he looked like a gorilla from a distance.

And that barbarian girl, with a delicate face and a graceful posture, was full of bright silver ornaments, and her dress was also very gorgeous, and she could be called a rare beauty.

Cao Ze hid behind his guards and said with a lewd smile: "Beauty, it's better to follow your Cao Gongzi to enjoy the glory and wealth, what's the good thing about following this stupid boy?" Follow your Cao Gongzi, I will not treat you badly, and I guarantee that you will eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wear silk and satin! ”
