If in the past, Yuan Shu dared to say, if he claimed to be the second of the great Han Dynasty, I believe that no one would dare to call him the first. But this five-day swim in Donglai suddenly struck him to the ground - whether it was the strong shock brought to him by seeing the fierce beasts of the sea in the Xuanwu Pond five days ago, or the bizarre light of Penglai Xiandao three days ago when he rode the sail to see the strange light of Penglai Immortal Island, and the joy of playing in the Donglai nightclub the night before...... All these unique stimuli and experiences made him both eye-opening and unstoppable, and he only felt like a countryman entering the city and having a bun.

Early this morning, Yuan Shu broke into the hotel where Cao Hong lived, and couldn't help but pull Cao Ang directly, and left with two powerful retinues, one of which was the famous general of the Yuan army in the future: Ji Ling.

A few people did not ride in the carriage, they jumped on their horses and rode lightly all the way to the western suburbs of Huangxian, because a much-anticipated warrior battle will be held there today! Yuan Shu has always regarded himself as a chivalrous man, and he can also do a few kung fu with three legs, how can he miss such a wonderful performance?

His excitement was not tight, but he made one person sweat in a hurry, this person is Cao Hong, last night in the golden cave-like nightclub to play all kinds of tricks, although the flesh hurts those few gold cakes, but Cao Hong He has had such a enjoyment, gritting his teeth and feeling that it is worth it. But this morning he was woken up by the damn Yuan Jiazi while he was still asleep, and he was unhappy, but Cao Ang's safety couldn't be ignored, he couldn't care about his back and legs, so he had to put the horse on his crotch and scold all the way and follow the back of the horses in front of him to eat ashes.

After a meal, the cavalry of seven or eight people had sailed out of the city and came to the western suburbs.

Getting closer and closer to the destination, Yuan Shu involuntarily slowed down his horse's speed, and at this moment, this Luoyang No. 1 gentleman was so shocked by the scenery in front of him that his eyes were almost straight!

Not far away, a magnificent circular building rises from the ground, its whole body color presents the metal ash of volcanic rock, thick and solemn, as if it is made of a huge granite, and there is no trace of half a brick and tile beam!

What is such a majestic and domineering building? Yuan Shu couldn't guess what was going on if he wanted to break his head!

It's no wonder that Yuan Shu is not knowledgeable, he is not a traveler, and he is not an ancient Roman, how can he know about cement? This huge circular building is another idea of mine, named Qingzhou Gladiatorial Arena.

In fact, its main body is still a masonry structure, but a thick layer of cement has been painted on the exterior wall, making the gladiatorial arena stronger and more vigorous. The diameter of the gladiatorial arena is about 50 zhang, the wall is wide and thick, more than 5 zhang high, and it is inclined inward and poured into a step by step with cement, which is the seat of the general audience. In the middle of the gladiatorial arena, there is a circular high platform, with a diameter of 7 or 8 zhang, and a circular gossip map of 3 feet square is carved in the middle of the high platform. This is the heart of the building: it is the arena where warriors compete.

Compared with the situation of the gladiatorial arena and the Xuanwu Pool, it is a heaven and an underground! Before I presented this plan to the people, I was worried that they would resist building the basalt pond in the first place. I'm going to start by hyping up the benefits of this project: first, if the Colosseum can be a hit, I will definitely be able to attract warriors from all over the world to my advantage; secondly, it can also increase fiscal revenue; Thirdly, it can also strengthen the martial spirit of the people under my rule... In short, it is a lot of money.

Who knows, I haven't said half of the reasons I have carefully prepared, there is no martial arts, but no one opposes it, everyone thinks that this gladiatorial arena must be on the ground if there are conditions, and if there are no conditions to create conditions, it must be done immediately! I was speechless... The martial spirit of this era is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, far surpassing later generations.

Today's sky is beautiful, the wind is beautiful, and the sun is clear. Yuan Shu didn't dare to spend too much time searching for the source, because at this time, at the ticket gate of the south gate of the gladiatorial arena, people lined up in 5 long queues waiting for the ticket to enter, and behind the queue, there were still many people rushing from all over the place.

If you go late, you won't be able to buy a ticket and miss the competition, and you will regret it.

The Colosseum holds a selection and promotion tournament every 3 days, and at the end of the month, the finals will be held, and the top 10 winners will be rewarded; If such a winner wants to join the Tiger Army, he or she can at least be a company commander (equivalent to a hundred generals, or a tun commander), and the champion and runner-up may even directly serve as a battalion commander (equivalent to the military marquis in charge of a song). This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, in this era where everything is important, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get ahead, and if you can become a part of the Tiger Army, it will definitely be a good way out. Now that the Tigers are prestigious, the officers and men are treated surprisingly well, and they never deduct their salaries and drink the blood of soldiers.

Dangdang! The bell rings, the iron fence of the south gate is pushed to both sides, and the ticket inspection officially begins. The waiting crowd couldn't wait to raise the tickets in their hands, and Yuan Shu and the others also followed the people in front of them and rushed in excitedly... In less than a quarter of an hour, the venue that can accommodate more than 10,000 people is full.

Today's host is a fierce and loud-voiced giant, standing in the round ring in the center of the arena, he raised a simple iron horn, and first introduced himself: "I am Dian Wei, and I am also the head of the Tiger Guard of the Tiger Army..."

Before his introduction was finished, there was a burst of exclamations from the surrounding stands:

No wonder this master of ceremonies is stronger than the tiger bear, it turns out that he is the No. 1 fierce general of the Tiger Army!

I said, how can the person in charge be so vicious and terrifying, that he is an evil general.

……

This man is none other than my brother: Dian Wei. He has been in a panic these days, and it just so happened that today was the final of the gladiatorial arena, so he came to Taobao to see if he could get back a few good seedlings.

However, when he rushed to the gladiatorial arena, he was startled. I really didn't expect that these guys in the army were all monkey spirits, except for Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others who went out with the army to Beihai, the generals who stayed in the county gathered almost early, and they were all ready to rob people, and he was one of them.

When Dian Wei saw this formation, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he didn't come too late, if he was a little late two steps, it was estimated that even the scum would not be left for him in the end.

So, Dian Wei pointed to a few unscrupulous friends in the VIP seat, and scolded with a smile: "You guys are not authentic, and you don't say hello to me for such a big thing." ”

"Still calling you? I wish I hadn't come at all! "Lejin is so slanderous. I think so, but no one will say it, everyone can know it. After all, if you look down and don't see what you look up, the excellent situation of stability and unity cannot be destroyed.

Wolves have more meat and less meat! The generals of the Tiger Army all shook their heads and sighed.

In the midst of everyone's complaints, Dian Wei jumped into the ring, and ignored the loud protests and coaxing of Le Jin, Man Chong, Yu Ban, Lu Qian and others in the VIP room in the stands, and forced today's official host Cheng Lian to the side, and personally made a cameo appearance as the emcee.

Dian Wei has followed me to fight in the north and south for nearly a year, and I have seen many large and small scenes, plus I intend to cultivate his ability to take charge of himself, he is no longer the reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill! And since serving as the commander of the Tiger Guard Regiment, on the eve of each major war, it is inevitable that there will be a mobilization oath meeting or something for these thousands of subordinates, and after the triumph, the celebration and commendation meeting is also indispensable.

Seeing Cheng Lian's muttering dissatisfaction, Dian Wei laughed and said: "Captain Cheng, why are you crying and losing your face, I will ask you to drink and make amends immediately after the end of the show!" Before Cheng Lian nodded, his big hand unceremoniously snatched the iron horn in the host's hand, and then his deep and powerful voice resounded throughout the audience, blowing the Tiger Guard Regiment into the sky-

"Dear friends, warriors, the Tiger Guard Regiment is the personal guard regiment of Shen Changshi, the commander of the Tiger Army, and it is also the elite of the elite of the Tiger Army! The Tiger Guard sword is invincible! In normal times, it would be difficult to enter the Tiger Guard! However, today, the head of this group is very gracious and allows the top 20 winners of the competition to join our Tiger Guard Regiment, and the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again..."In the eyes of the other master generals Spitfire, Dian Wei was full of spit and stars flew around, hyping up the many benefits of joining the Tiger Guard.

Cheng Lian couldn't stand it anymore, he snatched the loudspeaker, straightened his figure, and restored his identity as a real host. He looked around the audience, and then loudly explained the rules of this final: "Players, please note: no unreasonable injury is allowed on the field, the winner should stop at the point, and the loser should not be entangled; Intentional murderers, behead! Whoever intentionally hurts someone, sin! I announce that the contest will begin immediately! ”

Knock knock! The heavy drum beats slowly and heavily. At this time, the iron gate of a one-zhang high and one-and-a-half-zhang wide Yongdaokou under the west grandstand creaked open. All the eyes were focused on this, but they saw a sturdy young man with a blue ribbon wrapped around his forehead, shirtless and wearing a bearded trouser style walking out of the corridor. This person has outstanding facial features, a tall and strong figure, and has great male potential.

Many people cheered loudly, and there were a few coquettish shouts mixed with the voices, and it turned out that there were still female fans who were working hard to support them. This man was not rude, he raised his hands and kept waving or clasping his fists to the crowd watching the battle, which caused more people to shout, and his popularity rose again.

When he stepped into the ring, he was pulled by the host Cheng Lian to the gossip in the center to stand still, and he turned around with the circular gossip as the axis, trying to let the surrounding audience see the faces of the contestants as much as possible. After he returned to the original standing direction, Cheng Lian introduced loudly through the amplification effect of the iron loudspeaker: "The blue player next to me is Fang Yue, a native of Hanoi, 19 years old, 7 feet 8 inches tall, good at using a spear, the gun is one zhang long, and weighs 18 pounds. 10 wins in a row in one month, strong strength! ”

After a moment, the drums beat again. Another person walked out of the west road, and I saw that he was wearing a red ribbon on his head, and he was also shirtless, and he was wearing pants, which looked very strong. As soon as this person came out, the cheers immediately overshadowed Fang Yue, who had just appeared.

"Leopard, work hard, you must win glory for me Donglai!"

"Leopard, I believe in you!"

Obviously, the lad known as the Leopard is more popular because he is a local and has a unique home advantage.

"I'm sure everyone will be too unfamiliar with him. This red player is also 19 years old, 8 feet tall, a long-handled broadsword, weighs 30 pounds, and is invincible in ten consecutive games, he is our local warrior from Donglai: Chen Bao! Cheng Lian's host did a good job, his introduction was concise and clear-cut, and the atmosphere in the venue was also quite warm, and it can be seen that he enjoyed this temporary job very much.

When, Pei Yuanshao in the audience rang the hanging bronze bell, and the game officially began.
