I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14
Facing Dong Zhuo's displeasure, Li Ru and Jia Xu's reaction was not fear, but confusion.It's as if they think it's normal to see the sun during the day, but Dong Zhuo doesn't even know this kind of common sense.

Fortunately, there was no need for two people to explain, the rumbling drum sounded from the government office, accompanied by a long-winded shout from one person: "It's noon, the market is open!"

After the words fell, the entire horse market seemed to wake up suddenly like a huge crouching beast.The door panels of each store opened in unison, and countless merchants and shop assistants came out of it, greeting customers on the road with smiles on their faces.

Almost at the same time, there were visibly more pedestrians on the road.At the four wide city gates, common people and merchants entered in a continuous stream, and there had to be special servants to maintain order.

The sound of hawking, yelling, and bargaining followed one after another, and the scene gradually became lively.

Surprised, Old Dong still understood what was going on, and saw that the carriages were full of people, and the shops were full of goods, such as refined wine, vinegar sauce, honey syrup, grain, cooked food, bamboo wood, lacquerware, Dyes, gold, silver, copper and iron, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, cinnabar with tendons and horns, silk wadding and fine cloth, Wencai couchcloth, leather medicinal materials, books, calligraphy and paintings... There are everything from all walks of life, no less than the hypermarkets of his time.

"The market opens at noon, and the market closes at sunset?" After watching for a while, Old Dong came to his senses: he remembered that since Qin Shangyang's reform in the Warring States period, Huaxia has always pursued the national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

The Han inherited the Qin system, and in this regard it was almost in line with the Qin Dynasty.

The trading in Fangshi not only strictly stipulates the area, but also has a strict time limit: there is only less than half a day of trading time in a day, and trading in the rest of the time is against the law.

"Taiwei, what are we doing here?"

While Dong Zhuo was pondering, Li Ru also began to frown: In his opinion, Dong Zhuo, the CEO of the Han Empire Company, had to manage a lot of affairs every day, so how could he waste his time on shopping.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this question, Dong Zhuo's expression was a little resentful, and he replied sullenly: "Didn't you just say it, just stroll around casually. If you two have other things, it doesn't matter if you go back first."

He regretted it now, really regretted it: shopping, he should bring a few young, beautiful, well-behaved and obedient girls, why bring these two foxes here?
There was also one who asked questions, and one who was frowning.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Ru to speak to persuade him, he quickly ordered to the driver: "Go to the market that sells weapons over there."

Before the carriage started, he heard a shrill cry from ahead: "Run, those Qiang Hus from Liangzhou are coming!..."

As soon as the words fell, all the common people and merchants in front of them were already screaming like wolves, like a group of sheep encountering wolves.The area where weapons were sold in the horse market was suddenly full of voices and chaos like ants porridge.

Old Dong just had a pretty face, and suddenly became sullen.

Just when he was about to get angry, his expression suddenly became weird again. Facing the team of soldiers and horses rushing forward in the dust, he looked puzzled: Zhang Liao, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually started Leading soldiers to fish and meat the common people, rampant and domineering?

At this time, in the dust ahead, a galloping good horse carried Lao Dong's old acquaintances——Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.The group of soldiers behind them were not Liangzhou Qianghu, but soldiers under Zhang Liao's command.

The group of generals were still rushing fiercely, as if they were fighting an enemy in battle, all of them had ferocious faces, screaming and screaming, with an indescribable energy.

"Take it, what medicine did you take by mistake?" Old Dong expressed his incomprehension, but he did not act rashly.

Immediately Zhang Liao didn't see Dong Zhuo in the car, and his expression was still a little irritable. Seeing the shopkeeper in front of him was so frightened that he wanted to block the shop door with a door, he immediately shouted: "Wait a minute!..."

After the words fell, he weighed the spear in his hand, and then he bent his arm and threw it fiercely!
The spear whizzed sharply in mid-air, and firmly planted in front of the shopkeeper's legs, preventing him from closing the door with the door.

Seeing this scene, the horrified shopkeeper first stared blankly, then kneeled on the ground: "General, please spare me!... It's not easy for a villain to do business. There are still elderly orphans and young children waiting to be fed..."

It vividly explains that kowtow is like pounding garlic.

On the other hand, those rushing merchants and common people didn't mess up for a long time, because they found out...that this group of soldiers didn't come to rob, so they bypassed themselves and rushed towards the shop.

At the same time, another large group of soldiers appeared on the horse market!

This group of soldiers advanced in formation, first blocked the noisy crowd with their shields, and then slowly surrounded them, hitting the shields with ring knives while walking, and shouting slogans.

The momentum of the battlefield rose suddenly, causing the panicked people to retreat step by step, and finally gathered together like quail in the cold winter.

Old Dong's face became even more puzzled: What's going on, why is there another guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes? ...Xu Rong also took the wrong medicine, what is this for?
Once the wave was not over, there was another wave in Zhang Liao's place.

At this time, he had already rushed to the door of the store, and after getting off his horse with a stern face, he walked straight into the shop without looking at the shopkeeper who was begging for mercy on his knees.

Then... touched the sword displayed on the booth, glanced at the spears displayed on the soldier stand, and weighed the heavy and sharp axe.

The terrified shopkeeper raised his eyes quietly, and whenever he saw Zhang Liao was interested in a certain weapon, his eyelids twitched in fright: This frenzied dog is trying to use my head to make a weapon better Is it not working?
Finally, Zhang Liao picked up a bow, observed it carefully, and tapped the bow.Immediately after a little effort, he pulled the full moon, and took another arrow to take aim...

Coincidentally, the direction the arrow is aiming at is the shopkeeper's head.

The shopkeeper's eyes turned dark: it's over!

But in the end, he didn't hear the sound of the bow and arrow leaving the string, but Zhang Liao said in a slightly satisfied tone: "Shopkeeper, this bow is not bad, how much do you have in stock?"

"Huh?..." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: This frenzied bastard thinks it's not enough to kill me with one arrow, so he wants to pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows?
So perverted!

"General, my lord general, the villain's bow...is not good in quality, you should spare the villain." The shopkeeper replied panicked, with tears in his voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, played with the bow and said, "Your shop is honest, this bow can only be regarded as qualified, not a good bow."

"The six materials for making bows, stem, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer, must be collected according to the season and yin and yang. The stem guarantees a long shot. The best quality is winter wood, and the bamboo is the last. And what you choose is sandalwood. Wood, considered medium."

"The horns ensure the speed of the arrow. Buffalo horns are the best, and those that need to be slaughtered in autumn are the best. Although you used thick horns slaughtered in autumn, they are yellow horns, which are not as tough and moist as buffalo horns."

"As for the glue, it's not bad. I use rhinoceros glue and beef glue boiled in summer. After drying, the cracks are deep and shiny, the texture is round, and there are sharp edges."

"The tendons of the bow are a bit unsatisfactory. Although it is tempered in summer, the number of beatings is not enough; well, the lacquer is not bad, clear and shiny, and the silk is fine..."

"It takes a year to make a good bow. The stem of the bow is strong and powerful, and when the bow is drawn, it flows smoothly, and the body of the bow is still bent like a ring when you let go of the arrow. It is a top-grade bow."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the store, and said seriously: "Like the bows and arrows in your store, the price is only five hundred yuan, and you need to send ten arrows."

After the shopkeeper heard this, his whole body was in a bad mood: "General, general, you made such a big commotion, and you spoke so eloquently. Didn't you want to take the villain's life and snatch these weapons in the end, just to... bargain? "

Zhang Liao's face darkened immediately, and then he felt guilty and embarrassed and said: "Your bow is worth this money, why don't others say it?"

"Say, say, general, you can say whatever you want..."

The shopkeeper felt relieved, and felt that he had walked through the gate of hell: don't say five hundred dollars, even if you don't give me the money, I can only agree with tears!

What's more, what you said... is absolutely right!
