Chapter 722: One More Match

The fight in the Colosseum soon came to an end, and the pirate was beaten and lay on the ground, and the weapons in his hands had fallen off, so he could only use his hands to block in front of him to protect his face and neck from being cut by the sword.

The robber wearing the Datang Mingguang armor naturally did not give the pirate a chance to breathe, brandishing the long sword and slashing constantly, aiming at the weakest part of the pirate armor every time, making the pirate scream in pain, and even rolling on the ground, but unfortunately the long sword was not too sharp enough to penetrate the fine armor, and the pirate was dying and struggling, so he was not hacked to death for a while, but he was getting weaker and weaker.

"Li Shilang, you can't wear such fine armor for both sides in the next fight, the defense is too high, there is no big reaction after cutting for so long, and there is very little bleeding!"

One of the subordinates said.

"That's right, just dress them in ordinary armor, just protect the torso and head, and there is no need to protect the arms and thighs so tightly, it's too hard to fight, it hasn't been finished for so long, and there is no blood, it's not enjoyable to watch."

Another subordinate said.

Li An smiled and said: "What you said is very reasonable, it is that the official did not think about it well before, and only considered letting them fight for a long time, but he didn't expect that the defense was too high, the fight was too slow, and many viewers were impatient." ”

"Li Shilang, this fight is going to end soon, is it over here today, or is it another one?"

The official in charge of the Colosseum asked.

Li An thought for a moment, looked at the surrounding civil and military officials, and said, "Are you planning to go back, or do you want to watch it again?" ”

"Li Shilang, the lower officials are tired, this fight has been fought for so long, it's enough, let's just end it!"

"Strike while the iron is hot, it's fun to watch just now, let's have another one! We won't be in Anzhu City for long, but there are so many pirates and robbers, if we don't get rid of them all, will we still stay? ”

"Yes, anyway, there are so many gladiators, before leaving, deal with them all, won't this also save trouble for the colleagues who take over?"

More Datang civil and military officials still hope to continue to enjoy the beast fighting performance, after all, they are also quite boring, they have to find something to do for themselves, and the work can be handed over to the following, and it is okay to watch it occasionally.

Li An smiled, looked at his subordinates, and said sincerely: "It seems that most people want to watch another game, and only a few people are tired, so let's do it!" If you want to continue watching the show, you can leave if you are tired or have official business to deal with, how about leaving? ”

"Great, the affairs of my subordinates have already been dealt with, so I'm waiting to watch the show."

"My subordinates still have official business to deal with, so I'll go back after reading it."

Watching performances and handling official business are all serious things, all subordinates are at ease, and no one will feel uncomfortable.

"Wow......"

"Datang won ......"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty......"

The crowd went completely crazy, and the crowd of onlookers was all shouting and screaming, scaring everyone outside the Colosseum.

Li An was explaining the next duel, heard the cheers, and hurriedly looked at the Colosseum, and sure enough, the pirate was killed, and a long sword pierced directly into the pirate's throat and stuck in the back of the cervical vertebrae.

Seeing that his opponent was completely dead, the robber loosened his sword and circled around the pirate's corpse, raising his hands from time to time to cheer his victory.

According to the promise that Li An had promised him before, as long as he could kill the gladiators on the opposite side, he would be free, and before leaving Anzhu City, he would also receive a small amount of travel money to allow them to return to their hometown safely.

Seeing a long sword stuck in the pirate's throat, Li An's heart did not feel the slightest discomfort, it was the pirate who died, he would only feel happy and not uncomfortable.

Just like that, a fierce Colosseum fight ended, and the duel ended with the pirate being killed, and the robber gaining freedom and a small amount of money.

Watching the audience's crazy cheers, Ang Lee's mood is also very good, which shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty are very patriotic in their hearts, and they can't control the enthusiastic cheers when they see that the people wearing the Datang armor have won.

"This game is so exciting, the Datang Warriors finally won."

A businessman said excitedly.

"It's so enjoyable to watch, I really want to go down and fight by myself, haha!"

The fat merchant was incoherent with excitement.

"I said fatty, you didn't enjoy going down last time, and you still want to go down, do you want us to help you lure the soldiers away and let you jump down and have a good fight."

The colleague next to him laughed and joked.

The fat man was not angry, and said with a smile: "I'm just making an analogy to express my feelings, don't I really want to go down and fight, I don't want to die yet?" ”

"Haha! Understood, we are all in the same mood, such a show is indeed very exciting, but such a show will end sooner or later. ”

A businessman has a premonition of the future.

"Why? Why did it end? ”

The fat man asked.

"Fatty, you want to! Colosseum is a duel of life and death, and they are all pirates and felons who have committed the most heinous crimes, but there are only so many pirates and felons left, and if they continue to fight day by day, they will die sooner or later. ”

A businessman said.

"Catch it when you're dead! If you repeat what era you lacked, you won't be lacking. ”

The fat man said.

"If you knew that you were going to be sent to the Colosseum to perform for a felony, would you dare to commit a felony?"

The fat man thought for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, at least most people will not dare to commit serious crimes after watching the beast fighting performance, and when the time comes, the gladiators will be dead, and they really can't watch it!" It's a pity. ”

"It's a pity, what is this, if you can't watch the gladiatorial performance in the future, it means that Anzhu City is safe, there are no pirates and juniors, we can live a down-to-earth life, this is a good thing, as long as there are no wicked people in Anzhu City, even if we can't see the gladiatorial performance, we should be very happy in our hearts, you say this is not the case."

An old businessman said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, that's right, and I hope it's like this."

The fat man was busy explaining.

After the first gladiatorial fight, Ang Lee decided to put on another show to let the audience have enough, but after the first performance, the promise that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled, otherwise he will lose his promise.

And such a task, of course, does not need to be done by Li An himself, this kind of work with a loud voice is naturally handled by qualified subordinates.

"Dangdangdang......"

Several soldiers rang the gong to silence the audience.

The Datang officials in charge of the Colosseum's affairs, under the protection of more than a dozen Datang soldiers, walked into the Colosseum, stood next to the pirate's corpse, looked up at Li An's position, nodded respectfully, and then glanced at the crowd of onlookers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have one thing to announce in public now, that is, the victor next to me will be freed, he is a robber, not only robbed a merchant, but also injured the merchant, committed a felony, but through his own efforts, he defeated the opponent lying on the ground, so, the Tang Dynasty court gave him a chance to mend his ways, but he will be expelled from Anzhu City, so you don't have to worry that he will rob you in the future."

The Datang official pulled his throat, said the matter again, paused, and added: "Everyone has seen it! The one lying on the ground is a pirate, he is not as good as a man and has been killed, his body will be buried soon, come on! Drag the body down, and take him down as well. ”

Hearing the order, two Datang soldiers held one of the pirates' legs and dragged the pirate's body out, while the other two Datang soldiers escorted the victorious robber away, and two soldiers packed up their shields and swords on the ground, and the remaining few guarded the Datang officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this is the end of today's dueling match? No, there's a duel down there, so let's take a break and wait to see the next one. ”

The Datang official shouted, and then left with a few soldiers.

After the gladiatorial fight, some of the audience had already left, thinking that the performance was completely over, so they left, however, after leaving, some of the audience did not go far, but took a breath at the gate and waited for their companions by the way.

"It's strange, why haven't you come out yet, I've been waiting for a long time."

A merchant who was waiting to accompany him looked into the gate with a puzzled expression, but because the courtyard wall had already been covered and there was a screen inside the gate, he couldn't see anything.

"It's been so long, no one has come out, will there be another performance!"

"No, it won't! Last time, there was only one fight show, and this time it took so long, how could there be another one? ”

"It's not impossible, didn't you collect the money last time? This time, it's not a charge. ”

"Oops! So what to do? There were too many people inside, I just came out to breathe, if there was still a performance, then I should go back and continue to watch, the ticket money can't be spent in vain. ”

"Let's go, let's go back together."

There were more than 100 spectators who came out in advance, most of them left, and more than a dozen people planned to go back.

"Stop, buy a ticket."

The Tang officials in charge of selling tickets blocked them.

"We bought it, it just came out, we thought the show was over, but most of them didn't come out, we thought the show might not be over yet, we had to go in and watch it."

The merchant explained.

"No, you have to buy a ticket when you enter the door, that's the rule."

The Datang officials refused to let them in and insisted that the other party buy tickets.

The merchant was anxious and retorted: "The show is not over yet, why don't you stop us when we leave." ”

"You are customers, you can leave whenever you want, and we have no reason to stop you."

The merchant was even more anxious, and said, "Even if you don't stop it, you should always remind us that the show is not over yet, this is always the right thing!" But you didn't remind us that this is too bad. ”

"Huh! It's just a ticket seller in Xia, who knows when it's going to be performed, Shangguan didn't say anything! ”

The Tang officials said disdainfully.

"That's also your responsibility, and you are to blame, not for us to buy tickets again."

The merchant said angrily.

"No, if you go out and go in again, you have to buy a ticket, and if you don't buy it, you can't do it."

The Tang official insisted.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not fight, we have fifteen people, these are two silver coins, be accommodating, no need to keep accounts."

A merchant smiled and shoved two silver coins into the officer's hand, and spoke quietly.

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Tang official, patted the businessman's shoulder, and praised him: "You are still sensible, come in!" ”

"Open the door quickly, a few of them just thought the show was over before they went out, let them go in and watch."

The Tang Dynasty official immediately changed his face, and he was no longer insisting on his own ideas.

Fifteen merchants no longer found fault and entered the Colosseum smoothly, ready to watch the next wonderful gladiatorial performance.

After some preparation, the second wonderful show began.

Different from the first competition, the two sides in the second competition wore only simple armor, the protection was not very high, and the defensive shield was not equipped for them, but they were equipped with a lot of weapons, including swords and spears, in addition to axes and maces, these weapons are two, respectively placed in the position of gathering twenty paces, and the two sides of the fight can choose their own weapons to fight, and use whatever weapon they have in hand.

Escorted by more than a dozen Tang soldiers, two pirates and rapists wearing improvised armor entered the Colosseum.

The armor they wear is the leather armor of West Tianzhu and the leather armor of South Tianzhu, the difference between the two armors is still obvious, but the grade and protection ability are about the same, belonging to the same type of armor, reflecting the principle of fairness.

"Li Shilang, the gladiatorial fight is about to start, do you have anything to explain?"

The official in charge of the Colosseum asked.

Li An smiled and said: "This time be generous, the winner will get two gold coins and be expelled from Anzhu City, and the loser will of course die." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

The subordinates answered, strode forward, picked up the loudspeaker with amplification effect, and said loudly: "Everyone, this time the beast competition will be even more exciting, the winner will get two gold coins, and be expelled from Anzhu City, let's enjoy it!" ”

In order to let them know this decision, the Datang officials deliberately walked into the Colosseum, and in front of the two, they translated the matter, so that the two of them could fight a good duel, and if they win, they would get freedom and money, although the money was very small, but they were very much looking forward to being free.

"Originally, they were all felonies, and the winning side could be acquitted and get two gold coins, which is a great gift!"

"In order to be the winning side, they will definitely go all out and the game will definitely be more exciting, even more exciting than the last game."

"Even if they are really acquitted, do you think that after they go out, they can really live these people who have committed serious crimes, and they can have no enemies?"

Several businessmen talked together.
