After taking the excited women to a restaurant, tasting delicious food from all over China, and resting on tea, I suddenly saw many people rushing forward outside the window.

Li Nan curiously asked the guy in the restaurant who was waiting on the side, "What are these people doing in a hurry?" ”

The dishes on this table are all famous dishes from all over the empire, and it costs about twenty silver coins if you count the wine, which is rare for such a high roller, so the man replied respectfully: "Your guests don't know, these people are in a hurry to go to Wuyongfang to watch the show and gamble for money." ”

"Performance? Gambling? These two words made Li Nan a little surprised, although there are no restrictions on casinos in the empire, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with performance.

Casually rewarded the man with a silver coin, Li Nan asked, "Come, tell me what Wuyongfang is, what programs are there?" ”

After receiving so much reward, the guy, who was already very respectful, suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said: "Wuyongfang was originally a casino, but later because the boss killed someone for lending, he was arrested by the patrol battalion. About half a year ago, someone bought it and renovated it to its current appearance, which is mainly engaged in various fighting performances, and the audience can bet on the players......"

"What!" Hearing this, Li Nan couldn't help but scream, and slapped the table in anger, slapping the solid yellow rosewood round table directly into several sections.

In fact, you can't blame Li Nan for being so angry, because listening to what this guy said, isn't the so-called Wuyong Fang just a gladiatorial arena?

Li Nan was a person who had been to the Roman world, and was forced to be a gladiator there for a long time, and he had been tortured there countless times, but he never expected that there would be a gladiatorial arena in the country he had established.

Seeing the shocked guests and guys nearby, Li Nan said to the royal forest guards guarding him with an unkind face: "Pay the bill, compensate for the damage, let's go!" ”

The Fu sisters and Yuzao and other daughters didn't know why Li Nan had such a big temper, and they had never seen him angry, so they had to follow him obediently and walk outside.

Li Nan, who was full of anger, walked quickly towards the Wuyong Fang that the guy said, and accidentally saw the frightened girls, and he realized that he had lost his temper just now.

Slowing down, Li Nan explained to them: "Don't be afraid, I'm angry not because of you, but because of this Wuyong Fang. ”

"Fighting performances, there have been all dynasties and dynasties, why is Your Majesty so angry?"

"That's a long story......"

Li Nan simply told them about his painful experiences with Spartacus, Dorcott, Cress and others in the Roman world.

When the women heard the thrilling part, they couldn't help but scream again and again, they didn't expect that the king of a country in front of them, as well as many important ministers and fierce generals of the empire, had suffered so much and suffered so much before.

Talking everyone came to the front of the Wuyong Fang, only to see four stone sculptures standing on both sides of the door, respectively, the fierce lions, tigers, bears and leopards, looked at this two-story blue brick building covering a wide area, and after the accompanying royal forest guards paid the ticket money, everyone walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a sudden light in front of me, although it was daylight, but the building was lit with torches, the lights were bright, and the noisy shouts and a wet and heavy mixed smell came to the face, and countless people gathered in front of a deep pit, surging and screaming excitedly.

It can be seen that whether it is the rich merchant lady sitting in the single room on the second floor, or the peddler pawn surrounding the pit below, the players who are supporting the bet are shouting frantically.

In addition to the pit used for gladiatorial fighting, there are several windows for placing bets, and a bar for selling all kinds of alcohol, and dozens of beautiful women of all ethnic groups shuttle through the crowd, smiling and selling the drinks in the trays.

Seeing all this in front of him, Li Nan felt that he didn't feel like he was in ancient times, but as if he had come to some entertainment club in the later world.

The guards of the Royal Forest exerted their strength on both sides, allowing Li Nan and the girls to walk in front of the pit.

Li Nan looked down and found that this huge pit five or six meters deep was also connected to other underground buildings, obviously excavated downward and then reinforced with cement, the bottom of the pit was covered with thick sand, and at this moment there were two middle-aged men standing on both sides, holding weapons in the pit and confronting each other.

These two people are not Han Chinese, there is only a pair of calf nose pants on the whole body, and a strong man holding a long knife on the left, looking like a Jurchen person on the left, while the man with red cheeks and two short hammers on the opposite side looks like a Tubo person in Qingtang or on the plateau.

A Han man with a big iron horn in his hand stood on a cement bridge that protruded to the top of the giant pit, and shouted to the surrounding audience: "The Tubo Divine Power Hammer and the new Jin Ren, who have won seven consecutive games, are about to start the competition, please cheer for your favorite players!" ”

"Divine Hammer! Hammer of Divine Power! Defeat the bastard on the other side! ”

"Jin Guoren, don't be like a bad seed, hurry up, Lao Tzu will rely on you to turn the book!"

Hearing the shouts of the people, Li Nan asked an excited red-faced audience member beside him, "How do you judge whether you win or lose this game?" ”

"Uh......" The audience was watching the game with great interest, and when they heard Li Nan's words, they didn't want to answer, but seeing that this person's appearance, clothing and temperament were extraordinary, he explained: "After one side is knocked down, the referee above will pour dozens of times, and if you can't get up, you will lose." ”

"Oh." Originally, because of the gladiatorial arena in the empire, Li Nan's heart was full of anger, but after listening to the other party's explanation, his anger dissipated slightly, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

If it is not a battle of life and death, then it cannot be called a gladiatorial fight, but should be called a fighting performance, and this nature seems to be different.

Li Nan, who gradually calmed down, handed a few silver coins to the audience around him, and asked again: "In this martial arts workshop, have you ever died because of a fight?" ”

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, no matter where it is, unexpectedly took a few silver coins, and the other party also became enthusiastic, and immediately explained in detail to Li Nan and others.

This audience is a native of Changsha Imperial Capital, and he is also a gambler who often comes to Wuyongfang, so he can tell a lot about the big and small things that happen in this place, which also gives Li Nan a deeper understanding of this place.

Since the completion and opening of Wu Yongfang, there have indeed been several deaths of players, but these people have signed life and death certificates before participating in the competition, so no one is pursuing them.

As for the usual competitions, there are a lot of injuries, and there are very few times when people are killed, after all, these players are also here to make money, not to work hard.

The competition in the giant pit soon began, and when the two fought, Li Nan, who was familiar with fighting and battle formations, immediately discovered that there was something wrong with the weapons of the two foreigners.

The double hammer in the hands of the Tubo people is good in addition to being heavier, but the important thing is that the long knife in the hands of the Jin people actually did not open the edge, although it looks bright and cold, but in fact it is not too strong.

The two alien slaves performed for half an hour, and after watching the fight, Li Nan had already realized that this was not a gladiatorial arena, but a venue similar to an unlimited fighting competition.

In the Empire, gambling and green houses are both legal industries, and they need to pay taxes and be supervised, and of course, things like forcing good people to prostitute and borrowing money to hurt people are to be dealt with severely.

If the owner of the Wuyong Fang did not force these aliens to participate in the competition, and they were all free, then according to the laws of the empire, even Li Nan, the emperor, could not destroy people's business, after all, it was legal.

Li Nan, who felt that he was a little too sensitive, shook his head and smiled, and was about to leave here, but when he turned around, he saw three guys wearing robes and hoods to cover their faces, walking towards the underground passage of Wuyong Fang.
