The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 257: Can't afford to lose

For the three battles that are about to be faced.The Chrysanthemum team is under a lot of pressure. More than 20 days have passed.After five consecutive battles.Although Guo Nuan tried his best to ensure the damage of his team members.However, except for a disabled Indian and a young and inexperienced Asiatic gladiator who died in battle.Guo Nuan knew that stepping into the ranks of gladiators meant that death would always accompany her.In the history of gladiatorial battles in the Roman Empire hundreds of years before the Tang Dynasty.Few gladiators survive three years in their gladiator career. 90.00% of gladiators died in battle.The lucky ones who remained professionally became instructors at the gladiator school.Or after becoming successful and famous, with the magnanimous permission of the slave owner, he will return to freedom and retire to the world to become a commoner.

But.Can Guo Nuan be able to do it today?He cannot retreat.Can only keep going.Know the ultimate final.Flat Nose is very serious about the next three games.He partnered with the Mongolian tribal prince and almost paid for his own coffin.If Guo Nuan's team can win three consecutive victories.His net worth can be tripled in an instant.Not only can relying on Guo Nuan, the ever-victorious gladiator, to gain benefits for himself as the master, but also increase his own reputation.In Zhishan City where gladiatorial culture prevails.Own a heavyweight star gladiator.The owner is quite a face-saving thing.The factor that determines this is still driven by huge profits.

train.Step up your training.Guo Nuan had to ponder over the mysteries of the "Li's Sword Art" presented to him by Li Si in just three days.Maybe with this set of swordsmanship.His swordsmanship can go up a notch.Undoubtedly, adding one's own strength can sometimes play a vital role in the thrilling gladiatorial arena.

Early the next morning.The owner of the flat nose hastily summoned Guo Nuan.It is different from the calmness on the eve of the gladiatorial fight in the past.Talk to Guo Nuan so frequently.It can be seen that the flat-nosed boss is very concerned about this competition.certainly.Guo Nuan also understood.If you lose.Flat Nose didn't care about the lives of Guo Nuan and the gladiators.It's his gambled property.

Walk into the magnificently decorated hall of Flat Nose.The fluffy Persian five-color wool carpet on the ground is stepped on softly.In the central wall there is a fireplace for burning fire.It's still a little chilly in the morning.There is burning incense wood in the stove.Burning wood exudes a delicate fragrance.Refreshing.

as a gladiator.Except for a month of very little free time.Heavy and boring training for gladiatorial combat most of the time.Guo Nuan had to get up at dawn to train on the textbooks.This time Bian Nose asked the servant to inform Guo Nuan to go to the living room for a while.Guo Nuan hurried over.He didn't even take off the heavy armor on his body and the exquisite sword weapon in his hand.However, it is clear that Flat Nose trusts Guo Nuan, a special gladiator with noble and aristocratic temperament.So when Guo Nuan broke into the living room with a weapon in his hand.The guards outside the door did not stop him.

besides.There are also many murals hanging on the walls.But it's not landscape painting.It is about the description of the wonderful moments of fighting in various arenas.Bloody and brutal.Of course, Guo Nuan looked at it from the perspective of his gladiator profession.The skills and strength of the gladiator figures in this mural are gorgeous and beautiful.besides.Guo Nuan also caught a glimpse of a different picture on the left.Two beautiful Roman female gladiators are fighting hard.Even with scars on his body.Bloodstained.But his face is engraved with the man's fortitude and unyielding.This made Guo Nuan awe-inspiring.Aesthetics in Violence.Because nobles need the entertainment brought by gladiators.Women also have the opportunity to show their tragic and mighty side.Is this irony or helplessness in the brutal game of gladiators.By the way, Guo Nuan has yet to meet a female gladiator opponent.

There are many art collections of gladiator culture in the interior.Flat Nose is such a person.He's a typical gladiatorial fan.Like most lords who love gladiatorial entertainment.The decoration of the living room is indispensable to the murals of gladiators fighting.Gladiator plaster sculpture.A full suit of armor or something.

Guo Nuan glanced at the weapons displayed on the pear-blossom wooden stand through the small grille hole of the duck-tongue-sealed bronze helmet.armor.Because it is often wiped by servants.Although weapons.The armor is of a certain age.But they all look shiny.It looks like it was newly built.

Flat nose from next door wearing nightgown.He yawned sleepily.He obviously didn't sleep well last night.Guo Nuan, who was hidden in a gorgeous and heavy helmet, smiled slightly.He guessed that [-]% of them were worried about the gladiatorial match in a few days.Because this flat-nosed nobleman is not only keen on wrestling.It was not caused by a fierce fight with a woman in bed last night.

The cheap owner of the flat nose is strange.Not like most lords.Lustful and indulgent.Married a concubine to play with.He is not interested in women's sex.Listen to the servant's private stall.The wife of the owner of the flat nose is a good royal woman.Married for ten years without a concubine.It was not until later that he took a concubine.But soon gave birth to a bastard.So he drove the concubine back to her mother's house.He never took a concubine again.Of course, this does not mean how sincere Bian Nose is to his regular wife.But the main wife can't give birth to a child.There is no way to flatten the nose, so I have to marry another room to continue the incense.

"Guo Nuan. Sit down." Dragging a fluffy white nightgown.Flat Nose communicated with Guo Nuan in stiff but fluent Chinese.When Bianbi was young, he personally led his own caravan to the Tang Dynasty to do business with the Han people.So he can also communicate with Guo Nuan in Chinese.

Guo Nuan shrugged.An act of desperation.Flat Nose laughed dumbly.Only then did he realize that Guo Nuan was now wearing heavy full body armor.Obviously not very convenient to sit on the soft cushions on the ground.

"Then just stand." Flat Nose smiled nonchalantly.He snapped his fingers.The servant standing behind the scenes walked in immediately.

"I want goat milk tea. Or milk tea." Flat Nose asked.

"I want a cup of tea. Thank you." Guo Nuan took off his helmet gracefully.Standing and talking to Flat Nose.Not to mention that this sealed helmet is bulky.One to training.Not more than ten minutes.You can sweat a lot.It hurts like hell.

"Hehe. Then give him a cup of good Maojian green tea." Flat Nose admired such an aristocratic gladiator.Guo Nuan is indeed different from those killing machine gladiators who only know how to fight.By chance.Flat Nose came to Guo Nuan's room in person.I saw the bold and vigorous Chinese calligraphy written on the desk.This casts a layer of mystery on Bianbi's curiosity about Guo Nuan's family background.Maybe.Guo Nuan was lucky enough to survive this year's season of gladiatorial competition.After making a lot of profit money for flat nose.Flat Nose thought to himself that this young man would be redeemed for his freedom.

I want to go back to thinking.Thoughts flicker.The flat nose was stunned for a moment.The servant has already brought a cup of Maojian green tea in a noble purple sand teacup to Guo Nuan.

"He..." Guo Nuan's lips and teeth were surrounded by the unique fragrance of Datang tea.Unexpectedly, one or two high-quality tea leaves from a foreign land, which is equivalent to the value of gold of the same quality, could be rewarded by the flat-nosed nobles without any hesitation to the gladiator Guo Nuan, who is equivalent to a slave in his lower status.

"Hehe. It's been a long time since I drank such a wonderful tea." Guo Nuan put down the teacup.He sighed.

"Maybe. After we win the next three games. You can drink this kind of tea every day. As much as you want." Flat Nose's eyes flashed.Shrewd.His words touched Guo Nuan's heart.This made Guo Nuan startled.

"Maybe keep winning. Next spring. You can go back to your motherland, Datang, to drink tea made from the freshest Maojian tea leaves." There was a slightly seductive tone.It is mixed with the tone of the superior.The overtones are obvious.

"Haha. I look forward to the day when I can drink fresh tea." Guo Nuan raised her head and laughed.The confident and optimistic attitude revealed in the laughter made Flat Nose nod secretly with a smile.really.This young man is extraordinary.It can be a big deal.

in the living room.Chat for a while.Then the business came up.Guo Nuan and Bian Bi are discussing the next tactics.On the one hand, Bian Bi hired the last intelligence spies to collect information on the opponents of Guo Nuan's team.And the brilliant record of their opponent teams in the past.

With complete and detailed information.Guo Nuan gradually got to know his next opponent.Although the rankings of the opponents are very strong.But with the full mastery of the opponent's fighting skills.usual tactics.Weaknesses and so on.Guo Nuan was also worried.The future gradually began to become clear.

The tense arrangement of more than an hour ended.Guo Nuan was about to leave the house.He curiously asked the flat nose: "Did the female gladiator on the wall really exist? Or was it fabricated by the painter to exaggerate the art?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Nuan was interested in this picture.Flat Nose was stunned for a moment and then returned: "Roman times. A real incident in the arena in the city of Helina in Asia Minor. These are two female gladiators who fought bravely. Because of their fearlessness, they won the sympathy of the audience. The only gladiator in the history of Roman gladiators who was freed by a slave owner. Did not die in battle. Instead, he was saved from death. One was named Agilia. The other was Amazon."

"Oh." Guo Nuan was silent.Without asking any more questions, he strode across the threshold.

"Guo Nuan. You must know that a weak female gladiator can still fight to the death without fear. I don't want your team to retreat in the next match. Even if the opponent is strong. Except for death in battle, you must never surrender. Otherwise. I give the surrendered private gladiator the thumbs-up with indifference."

Guo Nuan's face paled.The corner of his mouth twitched.Soon his face returned to calm.Fluttering out a sentence: "As long as I, Guo Nuan, can still stand in the arena for a day. You don't need to move your noble thumb." After finishing speaking.He then ran towards the school grounds.

The solemn words of the flat nose have been echoing in Guo Nuan's mind.Follow the rules of the arena.In the arena.The loser has only two possibilities.Or be executed on the spot by the opponent.Either surrender.

Of course, a gladiator who surrendered is undoubtedly a disgrace.The loser faces two dispositions from his noble master in the arena.If the host sitting on the VIP seat made a gesture with his thumbs down.It means that the failed gladiator will be executed by the master after the game.When thumbs up.Defeated gladiators were spared death.It's a pity that most of the losers were killed on the spot by opponents who could not tolerate any mercy.Even if very few are not killed by the victors.Generally, noble masters who lost a lot of money and reputation due to the failure of their gladiator regiment would give their thumbs up without hesitation.

A remark left by Flat Nose before leaving.It can be said to be very ruthless.But Guo Nuan can understand.This is the practice of the losers of the arena.It is also normal to do so.It is estimated that Guo Nuan will lose the next three games.Except for Guo Nuan who could not escape death.Flat Nose, who gambled on most of his wealth, almost committed suicide by jumping off a building.Because he has always loved money like his life, to the point of bankruptcy.There is no doubt that I want to die.
