Ang Lee still had some understanding of Nan Xia's strength. During his usual training, he had seen Nan Xia single-handedly challenge five soldiers. Moreover, he had defeated all five of them. Among all the felons in the Colosseum, the strength of the strongest was about the same as the soldiers of the Tang dynasty. There were no martial arts masters. Therefore, it was easy for Nan Xia to fight against two felons. There was no suspense about his victory. It was also very exciting to let the audience watch a general of the Tang dynasty beat up the little bastards. It was a benefit for the audience before the end of the show.
Nan Xia said confidently, "It's only two. They can't stand up in a few rounds. Hahaha!"
Only people with strength could speak with confidence, and Nan Xia was such a person with strength. He had enough strength to beat the two felons to the ground.
"Haha! General Nan, we'll be watching your performance later. Get ready! "
"Our General Nan is no match for twenty gladiators. He can defeat two in the blink of an eye."
"I've never seen General Nan fight before. Is it really as incredible as you say? "
"How can it be fake? General Nan's strength is outstanding in the army of the Tang dynasty. There are not many who can beat General Nan."
"This competition will be over soon. Let's keep our eyes open and wait to see General Nan's performance."
Several officials began to talk about it.
The duel in the Colosseum was still going on. The two gladiators continued to fight hard. However, due to excessive blood loss and fatigue, their strength was drained. They could not wield their modao at all. They could only barely stab forward, and their strength was very weak.
"Haha! He can't stand still. The Western Tianzhu warrior is about to fall. He's going to lose. This time, he can win a small victory. "
An audience member shouted excitedly.
"Look carefully. The modao in the Southern Tianzhu warrior's hand has dropped. He can't even raise his saber. You still expect him to win?"
The audience next to him retorted.
"Ouch! It seems that both of them are not handsome! It's hard to say who will win. "
"What do you think? Could both of them have died?! If so, how will the money be calculated? "
"Yeah! When we place bets, it's always about who wins and who loses. Only the winner gets the money, and the loser gets nothing. There's no mention of what happens if both of them lose. "
"If that's the case, if both of them lose, wouldn't everyone's bets go to the banker? How can that be? That doesn't make sense. "
"According to the rules of betting, if you lose, you have no money. If both of them die, then all the money should go to the banker."
"Aiyo! My little money! My heart aches for you. "
"The duel isn't over yet? What are you howling for? "
A group of businessmen began to discuss gambling.
As the battle came to an end, Ang Lee was no longer very concerned. He stood up and began to arrange the duel between Nan Xia and the two felons. He also asked his subordinates to choose two of the more burly and fierce-looking ones. This way, when Nan Xia defeated them, he would receive more cheers.
"Assistant Minister Li, these two gladiators are burly and fierce. Do you think they are suitable for you?"
His subordinate found two gladiators and brought them to the viewing platform.
Ang Lee glanced sideways and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Well done. Let's choose the two of them. Move aside and let them watch the duel."
The two gladiators were like fish waiting to be slaughtered. Although they were burly and looked fierce, at this moment, their eyes were full of fear. Looking at the two gladiators in the Colosseum, they knew that their fate was the same. Sooner or later, they would enter the Colosseum and become the audience's playthings. Moreover, they already had a hunch that they would enter the Colosseum soon.
"Eh, what's going on? Why is there suddenly no sound?"
The noise in the Colosseum had always been loud. From time to time, there would be excited screams. But in an instant, the Colosseum suddenly quieted down. There was no sound of talking. Even the breathing of the people next to them could be heard.
Standing up and looking forward, the duel in the Colosseum had already ended. The two gladiators had stabbed their sharp modao into each other's body. One was stabbed in the neck, and the other was stabbed directly in the mouth. The way they died was quite horrifying.
"Both of them are dead. We can't get the money we bet."
"No, this is not fair. We have to argue with them."
"It's written in black and white. They can't deny it. Besides, the money is not much! They must be crazy! "
"No, we have to pay them back. We have to pay them back. Just pretend that we didn't gamble."
Because both gladiators had lost their lives, which meant that no one had won. Therefore, everyone who had placed their bets had lost their money.
If only some of them lost and some of them won, everyone's heart would be at peace. This was because there were winners and losers in gambling. This was a very normal thing. There was no need to make a fuss about it. However, when both sides lost, they felt that it was unfair. It was obvious that the banker took advantage of the loophole to make money. Naturally, they were very unhappy.
Because there were many people who participated in the gambling, it soon caused a commotion. The Colosseum was in a mess.
"Go and see what's going on."
Ang Lee was in the south. When he heard that the audience was in chaos, he was very angry.
His subordinate went to find out what was going on. Soon, he ran back and reported, "It's a group of people who gambled. In the end, both gladiators died. All the people who gambled lost, so they made a scene."
"Oh, they dare to gamble in the Colosseum. Did they ask for my permission? Who gambled? Ask them to return all the money. In the future, they are not allowed to gamble in public. "
Ang Lee ordered angrily.
Soon, his subordinate settled the matter. He asked the organizer of the gambling to return all the money they collected. It was good that they didn't drive those people out.
The second duel was over. Some of the audience thought that there was no more duels, so they left the Colosseum in a hurry. Some of them were holding their pee and couldn't stay any longer. After all, the Colosseum was built in a hurry. There were no supporting facilities such as washrooms.
"Everyone, there is one last duel. Don't be in a hurry to leave!"
Seeing that one-tenth of the crowd had left, the official of the Tang dynasty shouted.
"Oh, there is still one more duel."
When the audience heard that there was still a duel, they all stopped. Some of the audience who felt uncomfortable holding their pee also stopped. At most, they would just pee their pants. What was the big deal?
Some of them had already stepped out of the gate. After hearing that there was still a duel, they regretted it. As a result, they quarreled with the petty officials of the Tang dynasty who sold the tickets.
Of course, the more regretful audience members chose to go to the washroom to relieve themselves first, and then went back to buy tickets again. Anyway, the price was not expensive. Some of them were smart enough to give some money to the petty officials. In this way, they could enter the Colosseum at a lower price. All parties would benefit.
Under the eager expectations of more than a thousand audience members, the famous general of the Tang dynasty, Nan Xia, and two gladiators appeared on the stage.
Nan Xia wore the ordinary clothes of the Tang dynasty instead of armor. Because the current climate in Anzhu was relatively hot, wearing armor was a very painful thing. There was no combat mission now, so there was no need to wear the cumbersome Mingguang Armor. Only soldiers on patrol would choose to wear it.
However, even if Nan Xia did not wear armor, he still looked majestic when he stood in the Colosseum. The two gladiators beside him did not dare to look at him.
"Everyone, this is the last duel of today. It's a bare-handed fight. On one side is the famous general of the Tang dynasty, Nan Xia."
The official said as he bowed to Nan Xia. After a pause, he looked at the two gladiators on the other side with a contemptuous look and said loudly, "The two gladiators here are felons who have made a big mistake. Today, General Nan wants to fight against the two of them alone. Teach these felons how to behave."
"Okay, okay!"
The crowd suddenly became excited. Everyone wanted to see how the general of the Tang dynasty would teach the two felons a lesson.
"This duel will definitely be very exciting. With a famous general of the Tang dynasty, the two felons will definitely be beaten to a pulp."
"Needless to say, the strength of the generals of the Tang dynasty is not something these little bastards can compare with. They will definitely be beaten to a pulp."
"The duel is about to start. Stop talking."
The onlookers looked at the Colosseum excitedly.
Some of the businessmen who were holding their pee had to bend over to watch the duel because they were holding their pee too much. This was the only way to slightly reduce the pressure of holding their pee so that they would not be in too much pain.
Nan Xia stretched casually, looked at the two gladiators in front of him, and said loudly, "Show me your strength. As long as you can beat me, I will let you go. Hahaha!"
The two gladiators on the opposite side obviously could not understand these words. The level of education of felons was very low. They could not even read a few words, let alone speak a foreign language.
Of course, Nan Xia did not care whether the two gladiators on the opposite side could understand him or not. As long as he said it out loud, he would be very happy.
The two gladiators did not understand Nan Xia's words, but they already knew the content of this duel. The two of them had to join forces to defeat the general of the Tang dynasty in front of them. They knew that the general of the Tang dynasty must be a person with extraordinary strength. But if they were to fight one against two, they still had a chance to win. At least, they would be lucky.
The sound of a gong meant that the battle had begun. They could now attack Nan Xia.
Although the two gladiators were not very good at fighting, they were not fools. They also knew very well that the best strategy was to attack Nan Xia from the front and the back from the back. This would make Nan Xia focus on the front and the back. This was the best strategy.
Seeing the two gladiators in a defensive posture in front of him and the other one behind him, Nan Xia smiled. How could such a child's play fool him? If the two of them were evenly matched with each other, he would be under a lot of pressure. However, the two gladiators in front of him were just ordinary gladiators. They could not do anything to him even if they used such a method.
"Haha! You want to attack me from the front and back? "
Nan Xia sneered and quickly stepped forward. Before the gladiator in front of him could react, he kicked him ten feet away and fell to the ground.
"Well done. The Tang dynasty is mighty."
The battle had just begun, and the patriotic onlookers had already begun to shout. This showed how strong their patriotism was.
The gladiator who had circled to the back quickly followed Nan Tong when he saw Nan Tong attacking. He was ready to find an opportunity to attack Nan Tong. However, Nan Tong's attack was too sharp. As soon as he attacked, he kicked the gladiator in front of him to the ground. Then, he quickly turned around and punched his own head.
With a heavy punch, the gladiator behind Nan Xia took a few steps back in a daze. His eyes were full of stars. After taking more than a dozen steps back, he finally stood firm.
"Hey, not bad! You can still stand firm. "
Nan Xia smiled slightly and rushed forward in a few strides. He kicked the gladiator hard in the chest. This kick was very fierce, and the gladiator was kicked twenty feet away.
"Well done. Wonderful. Let's continue."
"The generals of the Great Tang truly are different. They're truly too formidable. With just one move, they were able to beat down two criminals. These criminals usually abuse their power and bully others, but there are also times when they're beaten."
The audience was boiling. They were very happy to see the generals of the Tang dynasty beating felons, as if they were the ones who did it.
"The Tang dynasty is really powerful. The generals of the Tang dynasty are so good. These bad guys deserve to be beaten to death."
The businessmen of Western India also cheered for the generals of the Tang dynasty.
"This is not the most powerful general of the Tang dynasty. There are thousands of generals in the Tang dynasty who are more powerful than this one. The Tang dynasty is full of talents. There are many capable people. "
"That's right. It's a pity that you haven't been to the Tang dynasty. Chang 'an City of the Tang dynasty has a population of a million. The imperial palace of the Tang dynasty is much larger than the largest city here."
"The Tang dynasty is the most powerful country in the world. How can small countries like yours compare to it? The Tang dynasty is good at everything. We are rich in materials and have a lot of talents."
Several businessmen of the Tang dynasty began to boast in front of the foreigners. The envious businessmen of Western India were stunned.
He easily defeated the two gladiators. Nan Xia was a little dispirited. He was very dissatisfied with the two gladiators. They were too weak. It was too boring for him to defeat them with a light touch.
The first gladiator who was kicked down covered his stomach and gritted his teeth. However, he did not dare to attack Nan Xia. Instead, he stepped back, trembling.
Nan Xia looked back and saw the gladiator. He strode forward to meet him. The Colosseum was only so big. The gladiators did not have much room to hide. Moreover, according to the rules, they could not keep hiding. Otherwise, they would be considered cowards and would be punished. The punishment was even worse than being beaten up.
The gladiator braced himself and stepped forward to fight. He roared and made a gesture of fighting Nan Xia desperately.
"Ha! Come on! "
Nan Xia shouted loudly. His voice was extremely vigorous, and it gave the surrounding audience a fright.
