C272 Pre-war Coordination
Chu Hong was stunned for a moment before he said, "How can he sit with the ministers? He is my prince consort, a member of the royal family. Call him over."
Chu Yue covered her mouth and smiled. She stood up and turned around, waving at Ye Tian.
Seeing First Princess Chu Yue waving at him from afar, Ye Tian felt a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't know what it meant.
After looking around, Ye Tian stood up and walked to Chu Yue's side.
Chu Yue smiled as she said, "Royal Father said that since you have already become Prince Consort, you are naturally a member of the royal family. You should sit with us."
Ye Tian stared at him and then turned his head to look at Chu Hong.
Chu Hong smiled at Ye Tian and unnoticeably nodded his head.
Ye Tian seemed to understand what the emperor meant, he pulled the chair beside Chu Yue and sat down.
At this moment, with Ye Tian as the center, First Princess Chu Yue was on the left and Princess Chu Yu was on the right. Directly in front of him was Emperor of the Tiangong Empire, Chu Hong, and diagonally across from him was Oca, Prince Ivan.
When he sat down, Ye Tian realized that Prince Ivan, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, was holding a glass of wine and looking at Chu Yu beside him.
Chu Yu glared with her almond-shaped eyes. Although she had been a mischievous kid since she was young, Chu Yu knew Royal Father's worries. Seeing Ye Tian was already sitting beside her, she took the opportunity to get off her donkey and said, "I won't drink. Let my husband drink for me."
Ye Tian was surprised for a moment, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "What do I take it to be? I'm here to be the shield."
Forcing himself to drink, Ye Tian held up his glass and said to Prince Ivan, "Come, she doesn't know how to drink. I'll drink for her."
In a split-second, Ivan's pair of dark blue eyes flashed with a cold light again. He continued to hold the glass and stared at Chu Yu for a few breaths of time. Then, Ivan finished the cup in one gulp. From start to finish, he didn't even look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian got bored and drank all the wine in the cup with a pout.
After putting down the wine cup, Prince Ivan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Tian with a serious expression. He said: "Manager Ye, I wonder if tomorrow's competition will continue as scheduled?"
Ye Tian stared at him and said, "Of course it will be held as scheduled."
Ivan smiled lightly and said: "Can I ask, will Manager Ye participate in the martial arts competition?"
Ye Tian drank a glass of wine with an empty stomach. At this time, he felt the alcohol was a bit too much, so he patted his chest and said: "Of course I'm going on stage. Didn't you always say that my thing was a trick? I'll show you tomorrow whether your martial arts magic is powerful or my unorthodox skills are powerful. "
Ivan nodded: "At that time, I will enjoy Manager Ye's strange technique."
Ye Tian chuckled and said: "I will definitely broaden your horizons."
After a pause, Ivan asked again: "Can I ask Manager Ye, from tomorrow onwards, how will you compete? You are the host. Could you tell me the specific arrangements in advance? "
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment. He really didn't have a plan for the competition. However, Chu Yue smiled and spoke, "According to the tradition of East Continent, three people from each country will be participating in the competition every day for seven days. At the same time, the cities of both countries, namely Shangjing City and Mojing City, their tax and currency departments, at the same time, started to offer betting services to the general public across the country. The person who wins the competition, will be able to receive a portion of the bet placed in the two cities, to be split evenly. "
Ye Tian, who was listening at the side, stared with his eyes wide open. He sighed in his heart: "This is practically a lottery."
Prince Ivan thought for a moment and said, "Three people per day for seven days. That is to say, a total of forty-two people from both countries will compete."
Chu Yue nodded. "That's right."
After confirming the number of people, Prince Ivan continued to ask: "What about the winner? So what if you lose? "
Chu Yue said, "The victor can compete in consecutive matches, or they can be replaced on stage. After a short rest, you can go on stage again. However, the losers will not be able to enter the stage again. "
Ivan said, "In other words, as long as you win, you can continue to compete at any time. Once you lose, you will have no chance. "
Chu Yue nodded. "That's right."
Ivan roughly calculated that if he were to plan for the worst, he would have to prepare at least twenty-one warriors and mages for his twenty-one consecutive losses. But as long as there was a winner, the winner could go on stage once more.
Such a rule actually had a huge advantage over the strong side.
After I win, I can switch people, but I can also not switch people. However, based on the fact that continuous battle would consume too much stamina, as long as they had a lot of manpower, it would be best to continue the competition after they changed their opponents.
As a result, those with more strength and higher levels of manpower had a huge advantage.
However, in Ye Tian's heart, he didn't even consider the difference between the team members. At this moment, he was getting more and more impatient. He had already vaguely realized that if he were to deliberately run, develop, and publicize the competition, then the gambling house would be an extremely profitable business.
In his previous life, neither Hong Kong's horse race nor European football games involved a small amount of betting money.
Among them, there is a very broad market prospects and huge industrial potential.
Ye Tian couldn't help but put down his chopsticks. He gently pulled the lapel of Chu Yue's shirt next to him, walked up to her and whispered, "I say, how many times have we competed like this before?"
Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It happens about every two or three years. Sometimes it would be done by the two nations, Sky Worm and Oca, and sometimes there were even the three nations, Eli, Inca and Barrow. Sometimes, it was just Tian Gong against Eli, or Inca against Barrow's. In short, as long as two or more States can negotiate, it is ready to proceed. "
Ye Tian nodded and continued to ask: "Last time, in the match between Tian Gong and Oca, who won?"
Chu Yue sighed, "Naturally, it is Oca. When it comes to Magic Mentor and the Divine Warriors, we are naturally inferior. "
"How many people are there in total? How much did you bet? " Ye Tian asked again.
Chu Yue was startled and said, "I don't know how many people are betting on it. However, it seems like I heard from the people from Ministry of Tax Administration that in the last martial competition, the two nations bet a total of 160 million silver taels. "
Ye Tian took a deep breath, and asked with a face full of excitement: "Who won in Oca in the end?"
Chu Yue thought for a moment, then said: "I think it's the commander of Oca 4th Legion. His name is Gilki, he is a Advanced Magic Mentor."
Nodding his head, Ye Tian then asked, "How much money did this Gilki earn in the end?"
"According to the established odds, out of the 160 million silver taels, around 120 million would belong to the ordinary citizens who had won the bet. The remaining 40 million silver taels would belong to the people who had won the bet. Therefore, other than the service fees drawn from the two countries, in the hands of Gilki alone, there would be at least 39 million silver taels. " Chu Yue said.
Hearing this number, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Divine Weapon Camp required money, they needed a lot of money, and just based on these tens of millions of silver, Ye Tian would definitely win this competition. At the same time, the huge profits of gambling also gave Ye Tian a preliminary plan.
At this moment, the outline of the first professional gambling house in Tiangong Continent gradually appeared in Ye Tian's mind.
The national banquet lasted for nearly two hours, and it was only when the time came that the banquet gradually dispersed. Ministry of Rites Administration had arranged for people to take care of Prince Ivan and Oca Diplomatic Corps's people and place them in the best royal guest room in the National Hotel. The others, under Emperor of the Tiangong Empire and Chu Hong's instructions, came to a secret meeting hall on the first floor of the State Hotel.
Although Ye Tian was a bit drunk, after he was notified, he rushed to the meeting hall.
After the high officials and officials of both academies had all gathered, the emperor sat on the Dragon Throne on the central step and spoke in a low voice, "Tell me what you think about tomorrow's competition."
Knowing that the Emperor wanted to confirm the candidate, Lin Chengzhou stepped forward and said, "Your majesty, the higher ranked mages and warriors are guarding at the border, it's really hard to spare the manpower."
Glancing at Lin Chengzhou, the emperor said: "No matter what, this is a competition against Oca Empire. Don't talk about it anymore, just tell me, how many people can you spare?"
Lin Chengzhou put on an act, sighed, and said with a worried look, "I won't hide it from the emperor. The only person that I can take out now is the Director of Central Intelligence Department, Yan Zhengnan, who just returned to the capital. It's really hard to split other people into two. "
The emperor's face trembled slightly.
In all honesty, Lin Chengzhou only agreed to send out one person when the emperor said that. It was clear that Lin Chengzhou did not want to give face to the emperor.
With a cold snort, the emperor said, "Fine, all alone is fine. It's better than nothing."
Then the Emperor looked at Qin Ruhua and went on: "Ruhua, where are you? It can't be that only one person can be chosen, right? "
Hearing the emperor's question, Qin Ruhua stepped forward and said, "Reporting to your majesty, the warriors and mages sent by the People of Oca can be considered to be very powerful. In the competition tomorrow, the ones who will go out at the very least are the elementary stage God Warriors and the Primary Magic Mentor. As for me, I think I have the majority of them here are Holy Battlemaster and the Demon Spiritualist. "1
At this point, Qin Ruhua sighed and continued, "It's not a problem to bite the bullet and bite the bullet, but it's not good to lose face for the emperor."
The emperor clenched his teeth and said: "There's no need to mention Holy Battlemaster and Demon Spiritualist. Just tell me, how many people can you take out from Magic Mentor and the God Fighters?"
Qin Ruhua deliberately hesitated for a moment and said: "The only one who can do it is Ministry of Penalty Lord Liu Jinglei, who just advanced last month and became a beginner god fighter."
The emperor nodded, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Ruhua, and asked: "Only one person? There's no one else? "
Qin Ruhua felt a bit guilty as he felt the cold gaze of the emperor. In the recent days, the Emperor seemed to have become more powerful out of nowhere. Between his words and between his actions, there was a hint of contempt towards Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua. If it were before, it would definitely not be like this.
Even if Ye Tian had a small amount of power now, and the imperial family had a backer, they would not be so disrespectful to two influential figures like Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua who could cover the sky with one hand.
He couldn't figure it out, but Qin Ruhua didn't want to give the emperor a hard time either. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ruhua said once again, "Other than Liu Jinglei, my daughter is the only one who has reached the God Fighter and Magic Mentor level."
Hearing Qin Ruhua's words, the emperor was slightly stunned.
Could it be that there really was no one else at the side of the council head's hands? He actually brought out his own daughter.
"How is Yan'er?" the Emperor asked.
Qin Ruhua smiled lightly, and said: "Other than being a little naughty, Yan'er's Light Attribute Magic progress is extremely fast. At the end of last year, I had someone invite an immortal shaman from Divine Mountain to light her up. When spring begins, Yan'er successfully leveled up and became a Primary Magic Mentor. "
