The strong man is one against two. Although one of the lions has been hit in the hind leg, so it has lost its fighting ability. The strong man only has to deal with the other lion, but he is also exhausted now.
The audience at the scene was very excited and excited.
Because in their opinion, it was only a matter of time before this strong man would be defeated.
I don’t know what the Romans were like. In a battle between beasts and humans, they hoped that the beast would win.
Ouch!
The lion roared, as if it wanted to intimidate the opponent in front of him. The strong man was not timid. At this point in the battle, he had no other choice. If he wanted to survive, he needed to defeat this lion.
Lion.
"Roar!"
The strong man also shouted loudly, then moved left and right, and quickly rushed towards the lion. Seeing that the enemy was not intimidated by him, but instead took the initiative to attack, the lion seemed a little angry.
The scene was a bit tense, and the auditorium became inexplicably quiet. The tens of thousands of people in the Colosseum could only hear the gasps of people, and the heavy footsteps of the strong man in the arena.
Snap——
With a crisp sound, when the strong man was about to collide with the lion, he subconsciously leaned back and moved forward quickly in a sliding kneeling posture. When the strong man was about to approach, the lion suddenly
Leap high.
The strong man seemed to have anticipated the lion's reaction, and he quickly waved the iron rod in his hand.
The old trick was repeated, but the effect was not obvious.
The iron rod did not hit the lion's body, but hit the ground hard, causing dust to fly.
The lion jumped over the strong man, then turned around and pounced again. But this time the strong man reacted very quickly. He stepped forward with his front foot, forming a lunge posture, and then struck hard with the iron rod in his hand.
Click.
Snap!
There was another crisp sound, this time, he hit.
The iron rod hit the lion directly on the forehead, making the lion stunned for a while.
"Okay!"
Liu Chan shouted loudly.
In just ten seconds, the strong man turned his absolute disadvantage into an absolute advantage. Because of his amazing strength, the lion fell to the side with a heavy sound after being hit by his sap blow.
.
At the moment when the lion was rolling on the ground, the strong man ran forward quickly, then jumped, and at the same time, he struck down the iron rod in his hand.
Card——
There was a very clear sound of bone cracking. The strong man struck while the iron was hot, turned over and sat on the lion's back, grabbed the lion's mane with one hand, and swung the iron rod with the other hand, hitting the lion's head fiercely.
Head.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The iron rods fell like raindrops, and the lion was already in pain. At this time, facing such a violent blow, it had no strength to resist at all.
Bang bang, bang bang.
I hit him dozens of times in a row, and finally every time I swung the iron rod, it was covered with hair and blood.
Snap——
With the last blow of the sap, the strong man threw away the iron rod in his hand, leaned back, and slid down from the lion's back to the ground.
Won!
Won!
Liu Chan was as excited as a child.
At the same time, the audience also burst into thunderous applause. Although they did not see the strong man being bitten to death by two lions in the end, the battle was over and they were willing to give some encouragement to the victor.
The strong man lay flat on the ground, and several guards rushed in from one side. They dragged another injured lion out of the arena. As for the male lion that had been beaten to a bloody pulp, no one paid attention to it.
After a while, the strong man stood up slowly with the help of a guard, and then left the Colosseum.
Then there were three more contests, one person versus a black panther, one person versus three wolves, and one person versus one tiger.
The result of the battle was that humans won two and lost one. The gladiator who fought against the black panther and the tiger won, but the dark-skinned, tall and strong man was torn into pieces by the three wolves.
Wait until four games are over.
Liu Chan thought the audience could leave, and he had long wanted to leave. This is not a competition, nor a performance, this is cruel killing.
No matter whether they were humans or ferocious animals.
Liu Chan didn’t even want to see it.
If he didn't want to make friends with Machius, he wouldn't be here today.
However, no one left the venue. Even Machius was still looking into the venue, as if there was another important performance.
Not long after, three men walked out of the wooden door on one side.
A strong man, a black man, and a young man covered in blood.
They are the gladiators who just won the duel.
Liu Chan was startled and thought to himself: Do the three of them still need to compete again?
If this is really the case, then these Romans would be cruel enough.
Quiet——
Liu Chan watched the scene quietly, waiting for the next development of the scene. Although he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this was the Roman Empire. Even if a group of people came out and massacred the three gladiators, he could not do anything.<
/p>
SNSD——
The matter of continuing the duel did not happen.
In the center of the field, in addition to the three gladiators, there was also a middle-aged man. Judging from his clothes, he was not an ordinary person, but a noble.
Balabala, Jiliwala.
The middle-aged man chattered a lot, but Liu Chan didn't understand a word anyway, but Machius was a little excited.
"Mr. Machius, why are you so excited?" Liu Chan asked.
Deng You then translated Liu Chan's words to Machius, who touched the goatee at the corner of his mouth and explained with a smile.
"Sir!" Deng You said to Liu Chan: "Marchius said that this is the show after the gladiatorial performance, the auction of gladiators."
"Auction?" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment.
In this era, slave trade still existed in many slave societies, but weren’t they all gladiators?
Just when Liu Chan was puzzled, Deng You said: "The four gladiators on stage today are all slaves. Because they won the gladiatorial performance, they got a chance to leave the Colosseum. As long as the audience is willing to pay to buy them
Next."
"Oh!" Liu Chan nodded slightly when he heard this.
I didn’t know much about ancient Roman gladiators in my previous life. Now it seems that although the Romans were cruel, they were quite humane. Gladiators were slaves, but they didn’t have to die. They didn’t have to compete here forever.
Fighter.
"Ask him if all viewers can buy it!" Liu Chan became interested and said to Deng You with a smile.
When Deng You conveyed Liu Chan's intention to Marcius, Marcius was smiling and affirming: "Of course, even if Mr. Wen wants to buy these slaves, he only needs to spend some gold coins to bring them with him."
Let’s go.”
"Okay!" Liu Chan was very satisfied and said immediately: "Buy that strong man for me!"
......
An hour later.
In the living room of Marcius's house, Liu Chan was drinking and talking with Marcius. Suddenly a servant came in from outside and said something to Marcius.
Machius then said a few words to Deng You.
"Sir!" Deng You said: "The gladiator is here!"
As soon as Deng You finished speaking, he saw a servant outside the door leading a strong man dressed as a servant. Liu Chan took a closer look and saw that this man was the strong man who defeated two lions in the Colosseum in the evening.
After the strong man entered the room, he saluted Machius very politely.
However, Marcius waved his hand, then pointed at Liu Chan, telling the strong man that the person who really bought him was this businessman from the east.
The strong man glanced at Liu Chan, with some confusion on his brows.
But he quickly protected his chest with one hand and saluted Liu Chan.
"Mr. Wen!" Marcius smiled and said, "He is yours now. His life or death depends on your words now."
"Thank you!" Liu Chan said politely.
After a brief polite exchange with Machius, Liu Chan led the strong man out of the living room and returned to his residence.
Inside the house——
Liu Chan was sitting in the upper seat, and sitting next to him was Queen Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang looked at the strong man in front of him curiously and asked Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, who is he?"
"A ferocious beast!" Liu Chan said with a smile.
"Eh!" Zhang Yang was a little disgusted, saying to himself that this man was tall and thick, and he didn't know why His Majesty brought him here.
But Liu Chan ignored Zhang Yang, looked at the strong man, and asked calmly: "What's your name?"
After Deng You translated, the strong man babbled a lot, but Liu Chan didn't understand a word of it. It wasn't until Deng You translated his words that Liu Chan shook his head helplessly.
"Change your name!" Liu Chan said: "His name is too unpleasant. From now on, if you follow me, he will be called Liu Tiezhu!"
The strong man’s original name was ‘Sotand Salino Gass’. Liu Chan could have just called him Gass, but since he had bought him, he had to give him a Han name.
Liu Tiezhu——
This name suits him very well. Looking at his muscular body and strong body, he is perfect to be a bodyguard.
When he returned to Marcius' house before, Marcius had told him that most of these gladiators were lowly slaves or prisoners of war.
However, those who want to enter the Colosseum are not ordinary slaves. Most of them have their own characteristics, such as being extremely powerful.
Generally, nobles will buy them and then serve as their bodyguards.
Because they can be bought by nobles, some of them can even change their destiny. Therefore, after these slaves are bought, they will follow their masters wholeheartedly and are willing to die for their masters.
Alas——
Is this the so-called hardworking society?
It should be.
After Deng You finished explaining Liu Chan's intention to change his name, Gass nodded with satisfaction, saying that he liked the name very much.
Immediately, Liu Chan said to Deng You: "I will give you three months to teach him some simple Chinese!"
"No!" Deng You responded hurriedly.
Liu Tiezhu was a little confused, why did this Oriental buy him?
He had heard about the Easterners. It seemed that they defeated the arrogant Persians east of Rome a few years ago.
And——
I heard that after the Easterners defeated the Persians, they established a new kingdom on that land called the Ming Kingdom.
The Ming Kingdom abolished slavery.
This was a bit speechless for the Romans.
As a noble, how can you live your life without slaves?
Of course, for the people at the bottom, they envied the Persians because they were still slaves in the Roman Empire.
After Deng You left with Liu Tiezhu, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why did you take him with you?"
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that those who are not of my race will have different hearts!"
When Liu Chan heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yang'er. I bought it and it changed his life. Besides, he didn't know that I was the emperor of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Chan was not worried about whether there would be any danger if he had a Roman with him. Instead, he felt that bringing Liu Tiezhu with him might be of great benefit to his understanding of Rome.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor!" Zhang Yang said very cautiously: "Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else. Your Majesty should be more careful."
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
The next morning, Liu Chan, Xu Shu, and Zhang Yang walked onto the streets of Rome, accompanied by Liu Tiezhu, Tian Mu, Tu Lianhu, and of course the translator Deng You.
On the carriage, thirty-nine-year-old Zhang Yang looked like an innocent child.
"Husband!" Zhang Yang pointed to some buildings on the streets of Rome and said happily: "These houses are so beautiful."
Liu Chan shook his head slightly. It was not their first day in Rome. They had also visited the streets of Rome twice, but every time Zhang Yang came out, he would praise the architecture of Rome.
"Yang'er likes it?" Liu Chan asked deliberately.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I like it. Living in a house like this in summer, I don't feel hot at all."
It turns out that this is the case. After hearing this, Liu Chan realized the reason why Zhang Yang had been praising Roman houses. It was because the main buildings in Rome were made of stones, unlike the houses in Chang'an City, which were basically civil structures.
"Since Yang'er likes it so much -" Liu Chan paused and said seriously: "When we return to Chang'an, we will let the people demolish all the houses and rebuild them like the Romans."
Liu Chan originally thought that Zhang Yang would say yes, but Zhang Yang quickly shook his head and said: "Husband, no, my Han people have become accustomed to the current lifestyle. Husband, you cannot change it at will. Besides, such a large-scale change will be too laborious for the people and money."

Huh——
As expected of a queen, she never forgets her identity wherever she goes.
Even when faced with things she likes, she is still very measured in terms of the stability of the country.
After crossing the main street, I turned into a few small alleys.
The main street here is not as prosperous as before, and the clothes of the people on the street are also much poorer. Just entering this street, which is not very wide and full of garbage, Liu Chan chose to get out of the car and walk.
This area is a slum area of Rome.
Liu Chan has long wanted to come over and take a look.
Because if you want to know whether a country is strong or not, you can actually go to its people and see how the people at the bottom live.
I bought Liu Tiezhu yesterday, and Liu Chan asked Liu Tiezhu early this morning.
What was the life like for the common people in Rome?
Liu Tiezhu made an introduction to Liu Chan. According to Liu Tiezhu, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Roman city is very large. The nobles live a life of fine clothing and fine food, but the people at the bottom, even if they are not slaves, have a rough life.
Very bad.
In order to survive, many common people had to sell their children to the wealthy nobles and let them work as slaves for the nobles.
Oh my god——
Liu Chan couldn't believe it, because all the towns in the Roman Empire he passed along the way west looked very good.
Why is it that Rome, the capital of the country, is not as good as other towns?
No, I have to go take a look.
