Ang Lee fought one against four and was extremely tired. He felt that his body was about to collapse. In fact, he was too tired. As long as he had a good rest, he would be able to recover. There was no need to worry at all.
Lying in the middle of the cabin, Ang Lee panted heavily. There was a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart. Even though he was extremely tired, this strong sense of satisfaction far surpassed the tiredness brought about by fatigue. Especially when he was lying flat on both sides of his body, there were four little beauties accompanying him. This made him even more ecstatic.
"I'm so tired! Let me sleep for a while. "
A sense of fatigue overwhelmed him. Ang Lee gently closed his eyes and began to recuperate.
"Alang, don't be in such a hurry to sleep. Chat with us for a while!"
Yun 'er's naked body snuggled up to Ang Lee's right side. She extended her jade-like hands and stroked Ang Lee's neck. She did not want Ang Lee to sleep.
Ang Lee impatiently slapped Yun 'er's butt and reprimanded, "I'm so tired. Are you still not satisfied?"
"How so? I'm just not tired. "
Yun 'er aggrievedly rubbed her butt with her hands.
"How can a man and a woman be the same? A man is like an ox pulling a plow. How can he not be tired after plowing four mu of land? Have you ever seen someone tired from plowing? "
Ang Lee explained and closed his eyes to continue sleeping. Anyway, the slap was not heavy. It only hurt a little.
"Plowing? What plowing? Four mu of land?"
White Fox seemed to be distracted and did not understand the conversation between Ang Lee and Yun 'er. After a while, she opened her mouth to ask.
Yun 'er unkindly stared at White Fox and said, "Our Alang is amazing. He can plow four mu of land in two hours. Do you understand?"
"You don't understand?" White Fox was puzzled. She looked at Yun 'er and continued to ask, "Assistant Minister Li is a high-ranking official. Why would he plow the land? Besides, he can't plow four mu of land in two hours! Although I was born into a merchant's family, I lived in the countryside when I was young. I've seen cows plow the land. A cow can't even plow one mu of land in two hours, let alone four mu of land. This is impossible. "
Ang Lee wasn't asleep and heard their conversation. However, Ang Lee didn't plan to interrupt because he was too tired to talk.
The corner of Yun'er's mouth revealed a contemptuous smile. Her gaze moved away from the white fox and looked at Ang Lee's firm chest. She patted it lightly and said, "Did I say you were awesome? I just said that our Alang can plow four mu of land in two hours. Look at how tired they are. "
"Assistant Minister Li?" White Fox thought for a long time in puzzlement. Only then did she understand the situation. In an instant, her face turned red and she glared angrily at Yun'er.
She felt inferior in her heart. Every time she saw Yun'er, she couldn't help but think of her current status. According to her previous status, she was a level higher than Yun'er because she was the daughter of a free merchant. Yun'er was Ang Lee's maidservant and a servant. Now, she was only a woman from a brothel. Her status was naturally lower than that of a maidservant.
The most important problem was that Ang Lee would leave this place soon. As a maidservant, Yun'er could accompany Ang Lee forever. However, she had to return to Spring Fragrance Brothel to serve those disgusting greasy uncles or some rotten old men. Just thinking of this made her feel like dying.
Although she was unwilling, she was only a weak woman. She didn't have the ability to fight against fate. She had no choice but to accept this unfair fate.
Since she was destined to lose, she should create more beautiful memories before she lost them. This way, when she was in pain in the future, she could at least use these beautiful memories to support herself and make her heart feel sweet.
White Fox closed her eyes and didn't think about anything. She gently lay beside Ang Lee like a little bird, enjoying this wonderful feeling that was destined to not last long.
The direction of the wind on the sea changed. Under the gentle breeze, the small boat drifted around the harbor. Ang Lee liked this feeling very much. This allowed Ang Lee to fall asleep faster and enter dreamland faster.
The project in the north was originally going very smoothly. However, a sudden rainstorm without warning affected the progress of the construction. Fortunately, the cement resources were well protected and there were no actual losses. As long as the rainstorm stopped, the construction could continue.
The scale of the Colosseum was not large, and the construction requirements were not high. Therefore, it didn't take long for the Colosseum designed by Ang Lee to be completed. However, due to the rainstorm, a lot of rainwater had accumulated in the Colosseum. It looked very much like a fish pond.
The Colosseum was originally an inconspicuous depression. The deepest part of the depression was even deeper than an adult's body. After the excavation, it became even deeper. Moreover, the area was even larger. It was an extremely large pit with a diameter of 50 meters.
The soil dug out from the inside was not wasted. It was directly piled up in the outer circle. Moreover, it was piled up into stairs for the audience to watch.
The difference between such a temporary small Colosseum and the Colosseum in Rome was huge. The diameter difference was more than ten times, and the volume difference was a hundred times. However, this was enough for Ang Lee. Anyway, it was temporary. It would be a waste to make it too big.
However, even if it was such a small Colosseum, it was enough for thousands of people to watch together. It was big enough.
After the rainstorm stopped, Ang Lee personally went to the Colosseum to inspect it. He saw a watery lake.
"Assistant Minister Li, there is too much water. I estimate that it will take a long time to drain the water inside."
The subordinate said.
Ang Lee said with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you consider the drainage system when you were building it? What are you all doing? "
"Assistant Minister Li, there is no such thing on the planning map! The construction period is too tight. "
The subordinate looked at Ang Lee with an aggrieved face.
"If there is no planning map, why don't you think about it yourself? Are you all idiots? "
Ang Lee scolded angrily. Even if it was a mistake in his design, he had to lose his temper to show his authority.
"It is your subordinate's mistake. Your subordinate deserves to die. I actually forgot to drain the water."
The subordinate didn't dare to make Ang Lee unhappy again, so he had to take the responsibility.
Seeing that his subordinate took the initiative to take the responsibility, Ang Lee's tone eased and he said lightly, "If there is water, just drain it slowly. There is no need to rush. I will give you two hours. Can you finish it?"
The subordinate knelt down in fear and said, "There is so much water. Let alone two hours, even half a day won't be enough to drain it!"
"Isn't there a water pump? If you transfer all of it to use, it should be enough!"
Ang Lee said.
The subordinate said, "There is water everywhere. We need to use a water pump. It is not easy to transfer it."
Ang Lee didn't make things difficult for his subordinate. He thought for a moment and said, "Then forget it. You can draw as much as you can. After two hours, this official will come again. Do as you see fit!"
After saying that, Ang Lee left, leaving his subordinate standing there dumbfounded.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly drain the water!"
His subordinate had to vent his anger on the people below.
After leaving the Animal Fighting Colosseum, Ang Lee went to the temporary prison to visit the pirates who were recuperating in the prison. He wanted to see if they were strong enough to fight.
"Assistant Minister Li."
The captain of the Tang Army, who was in charge of guarding the pirates, bowed to Ang Lee.
"How is it? How are the pirates recovering?"
Ang Lee asked with concern.
"Assistant Minister Li, in general, they are recovering well. Some are recovering faster, some are recovering slower, and some can't get up."
The captain of the Tang Army answered truthfully.
Li An nodded his head in satisfaction. He strode into the temporary prison and personally observed these recuperating pirates. He wanted to see how their complexions were.
"Not bad, not bad at all! They are so strong, haha! "
Ang Lee said with a happy face.
The captain of the Tang Army was a little confused, so he asked curiously, "Assistant Minister Li, you asked us to feed these pirates with good food and drink. What is it for? I really don't understand."
"It's good that you don't understand." Ang Lee smiled faintly and said, "In fact, you can easily understand what I want to do. Now select ten strong pirates. I will take them away later. By the way, after selecting them, just put shackles on their feet and let them have a good meal."
The captain of the Tang Army nodded and said, "Okay, I will go and prepare now."
Ang Lee walked around the temporary prison casually and observed the imprisoned pirates. From their eyes, Ang Lee saw fear and confusion. Some of these guys had been tortured to a mental breakdown, but they did not have the courage to kill themselves, so they just lived like this. Perhaps they longed for freedom one day, but this possibility was very slim. The fate waiting for them would not be a good fate. From the moment they joined the pirates, they had no future.
It was not impossible to spare them, but it was not conducive to punishing those who had made mistakes. If they were easily forgiven after committing a serious crime, there would be no deterrence. In this way, more people would choose to make mistakes, which would cause the whole society to be in turmoil. It was not conducive to the development of the world's economy, and it would slow down the modernization of the Tang Empire.
Looking at some of the begging eyes, Ang Lee only had one sentence in his heart, "Why did you do it earlier? If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. From the moment you joined the pirates, you should have known the outcome you would face."
The ten strongest pirates were quickly selected and provided with very good food. There were even meat and eggs. The quality of the food was still very good.
However, these guys never understood why the Tang Army treated them like this. They were in a mess and were not very focused when eating. They always looked at the Tang Army officers and soldiers very vigilantly. Every time they ate a few mouthfuls, they would look around vigilantly. They were like vegetarian animals in nature. Every time they ate a few mouthfuls of fresh grass, they would raise their heads and look around to prevent being attacked by wild animals and losing their lives.
Of course, their worries were meaningless, because their fates were no longer in their own hands. How to punish them was entirely up to Ang Lee's will. They had no way to deal with it. They could only passively wait for their fates to come. Just like the piglets in the pig farm, they could not figure out their fate the next day. Maybe they would eat happily on the first day, but the next day they would be sent to the slaughterhouse.
Now, these pirates did nothing but eat and sleep every day. They were not much different from the piglets in the pig farm. The fate that awaited them was similar. In fact, their fate was even worse than that of the piglets.
After eating and drinking, these pirates dragged their heavy shackles and walked back and forth in the yard. This was also Ang Lee's request. He wanted them to digest their food so that they could be in a better state when fighting later.
"It's almost time. Take them away!"
Ang Lee got up and left. He waved his hand and asked the Tang Army to send some soldiers to escort the ten pirates away. Their destination was naturally the Colosseum not far away. The fate that awaited these pirates was a duel to the death.
Before the duel began, it was naturally better to find more spectators. If Ang Lee watched it alone, it would be too boring.
For this reason, Ang Lee invited many big shots under his command. In addition, he also let the merchants and people in the city come to visit. The first day was free, and he did not charge a penny. It could be said that he was very sincere.
In addition, the four beauties also accompanied Ang Lee, which was more interesting.
The guards split up to prepare, and Ang Lee personally escorted the ten pirates to the Colosseum. He wanted to see how the water in the Colosseum was doing.
"Assistant Minister Li, please forgive me. This subordinate failed to complete the task. The water in the Colosseum is knee-deep. Please give this subordinate another two hours. This subordinate will definitely complete the task."
When the subordinate saw Ang Lee coming over, he was frightened and quickly apologized.
Li An glanced at the Animal Fighting Colosseum and felt that the water was not very deep anymore. Moreover, the water quality was very turbid. Using the pumps in this situation would cause the pumps to be damaged faster. Therefore, he immediately ordered, "It's already very good. There's no need to drain the remaining water for the time being. Turn off the pumps!"
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
The subordinate wiped the sweat on his forehead and felt relieved.
"Wait." Li An thought for a moment, looked at his subordinates who had stopped, and said, "Build a table in the middle of the Animal Fighting Colosseum. Build it bigger. This way, the water won't have too much of an impact. Go and do it quickly!"
"This subordinate understands."
The subordinate hurriedly went to prepare.
Soon, the buckets, pumps, and other equipment at the scene were all cleared away. A large number of tables were transported over. These tables were used during the performance. The area was about the same as the size of the boxing ring. It was enough to be used as a place for duels.
"Assistant Minister Li."
A large group of subordinates heard the news and came over to greet Ang Lee.
Today, we will sit here and watch the show. It's a very exciting show! "
Ang Lee politely asked his subordinates to sit down, ready to enjoy the wonderful performance of the gladiators with many of his subordinates.
