Alien King

Chapter 272

Chu Hong was stunned for a moment, and said: "How can he sit with the ministers, he is my son-in-law, a member of the royal family, call him over."

Chu Yue covered her mouth and smiled, stood up, turned her head, and waved at Ye Tian.

Seeing the eldest princess Chu Yue waving at him from a distance, Ye Tian felt a little bored and didn't know what it meant.

Looking around, Ye Tian stood up and came to Chu Yue's side.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "Father said, since you have become a son-in-law, you are naturally a member of the royal family, so you will sit with us."

Ye Tian stared, then turned to look at Chu Hong.

Chu Hong smiled slightly at Ye Tian, ​​and nodded imperceptibly.

Seemingly understanding the emperor's meaning, Ye Tian pulled away the chair next to Chu Yue and sat down.

At this time, with Ye Tian as the center, the eldest princess Chu Yue is on the left, and the little princess Chu Yu is on the right.On the opposite side is Chu Hong, the emperor of Tiangong Empire, and on the diagonally opposite side is that Prince Oka Ivan.

After sitting down, Ye Tiancai found that Prince Ivan, who was diagonally opposite, was holding a wine glass and looking at Chu Yu beside him.

Chu Yu stared with a pair of almond eyes. Although he was very stubborn since he was a child, Chu Yu also knew his father's worry at this time. Seeing that Ye Tian was already sitting beside him, he went downhill and said, "I won't Drink, let my husband drink it for me."

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself that I thought it was a good thing, that I came here to act as a shield.

Bite the bullet, Ye Tian picked up his wine glass and said to Prince Ivan: "Come on, she doesn't know how to drink, I'll drink for her."

In an instant, a cold light flashed again in Ivan's blue eyes.He continued to hold the wine glass, staring at Chu Yu for a few breaths, and then, Ivan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian was bored, curled his lips, and drank the wine in the glass.

Putting down his wine glass, Prince Ivan suddenly raised his head, looked at Ye Tian seriously, and said, "Boss Ye, I wonder if tomorrow's martial arts competition will still be held as scheduled?"

Ye Tian stared and said, "Of course it will be held as scheduled."

Ivan smiled lightly and said, "Dare to ask, will Director Ye participate in the competition?"

Ye Tiantian drank a glass of wine with a full stomach. At this time, the alcohol was a little too strong. He patted his chest and said, "Of course I want to play. Don't you always say that my thing is a trick, a trick, and heresy? I Tomorrow, I will let you see whether it is your martial arts and magic, or my heretics."

Ivan nodded: "At that time, I will appreciate Mr. Ye's extraordinary skills."

Ye Tian chuckled and said, "Storage will open your eyes."

After a pause, Ivan asked again: "May I ask Mr. Ye, what is the comparison starting tomorrow? You are the host, can you disclose the specific arrangements in advance."

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't have a charter for the specific arrangement of the competition.But Chu Yue beside her smiled, and said: "According to the practice of the Eastern Continent, three people from each country will compete every day for seven days in a row. At the same time, the capitals of the two countries, namely Shangjing and Mo Jingcheng, its tax administration or coin minting department, began to provide betting services to the general public across the country at the same time. Those who finally win the contest will be able to get a proportion of the bets made by the two capitals."

Ye Tian stared straight at the side, and said with emotion in his heart: This is just like a gambling game.

Prince Ivan thought for a while, and then said: "Three people a day, seven days in a row, that is to say, there will be a total of 42 people from the two countries to compete."

Chu Yue nodded: "Exactly."

After confirming the number of people, Prince Ivan continued to ask: "What about the winners? What about the losers?"

Chu Yue said: "Winners can continue the competition, or they can change players. After a short rest, they can play again. But losers can't play again."

Ivan said: "That is to say, as long as you win, you can continue to compete at any time. Once you lose, you have no chance."

Chu Yue nodded: "Exactly."

Ivan made a rough calculation in his mind. If he planned for the worst and lost 21 games in a row, he would need to prepare at least 21 warriors and mages.But as long as there is a winner, the winner can play again.

Such a rule actually has a huge advantage over the powerful side.

After winning, I can change players or not.However, considering that continuous fighting will consume too much physical strength, as long as there are many people on one's side, it is best to continue the competition after changing people.

Therefore, the side with strong strength and more high-level personnel has a great advantage.

But at this time, Ye Tian didn't consider the advantages and disadvantages brought about by the comparison of personnel at all.He is getting more and more itchy now, and he has vaguely realized that if he deliberately manages, develops and promotes it, the gaming of the tournament will be a hugely profitable industry.

In the previous life, whether it was a horse race in Hong Kong or a football game in Europe, the amount involved in betting was by no means a small number.

Among them, there is a very broad market prospect and huge industrial potential.

Couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, Ye Tian gently tugged at the lapel of Chu Yue who was beside him, leaned close to Chu Yue, and asked in a low voice, "I said, how many times have you had this kind of martial arts competition before?"

Chu Yue thought for a while, and said, "About every two or three years, there will be one. Sometimes it will be carried out by Tiangong and Eka, and sometimes Eli, Inca and Baro will be added. Sometimes, it’s just Tiangong and Eli, or Inca and Barro who compete on their own. In short, as long as two or more countries can negotiate, they can be held at any time.”

Ye Tian nodded, and continued to ask: "The last time, when Tiangong and Eka competed, who won?"

Chu Yue sighed: "Of course it is Eka. When it comes to magisters and god fighters, we are naturally inferior to others."

"How many people bet in total? How much did you bet in total?" Ye Tian asked again.

Chu Yue was startled, and said: "I don't know how many people bet in total. But it seems that people from the Ministry of Taxation said vaguely that in the last martial arts competition, the two countries bet a total of more than 6000 million taels of silver. "

Ye Tian took a breath and asked excitedly, "Who will win Eka in the end?"

Chu Yue thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the commander of the Fourth Eka Corps. His name is Gelkie. He is a senior magister."

Nodding his head, Ye Tian asked again: "How much money did this Gelkie make in the end?"

"According to the established odds, of the more than 6000 million taels, about 2000 million taels belonged to ordinary people who won the bet, and the remaining 4000 million taels belonged to the final winners. So, in addition to the handling fees drawn by the two countries, there are at least 900 million taels of silver in Gelkie's hands." Chu Yue said.

Hearing this number, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

The Shenji Camp needs money, a lot of money, and for these tens of millions of taels, Ye Tian has to win this competition in the end.At the same time, the huge profits of the gaming industry also gave Ye Tian a preliminary plan.

At this moment, the first professional gaming shop in Tiangong mainland began to have an outline in Ye Tian's mind.

The state banquet lasted for nearly an hour, and when it was Shen Shi, the seats gradually dispersed.The Ministry of Etiquette and Administration arranged for people to place Prince Ivan and the members of the Eka mission in the best royal guest room of the State Guest House.Other people, under the orders of the Tiangong Emperor Chu Hong, came to a secret hall on the first floor of the State Guesthouse one after another.

Although Ye Tian was a little drunk, he hurried to the auditorium after being notified.

After the high-ranking officials and ministers from the military and government departments arrived one after another, the emperor sat on the dragon chair on the middle step and said in a low voice, "Tell me what you think about tomorrow's competition."

Knowing that the emperor wanted to confirm the candidates, Lin Chengzhou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the higher-ranking mages and warriors of the Military Affairs Academy are now guarding the border, and it is really difficult to spare them."

Glancing at Lin Chengzhou, the emperor said, "Anyway, this is a contest with the Eka Empire. Don't talk so much, just tell me how many people you can draw."

Lin Chengzhou put on a show, sighed, and said with a sad face: "To tell you the truth, the only person I can get around now is Yan Zhengnan, the director of the Central Intelligence Department who has just been transferred back to the capital. Others , it’s really hard to separate.”

The emperor's face trembled slightly.

In all fairness, Lin Chengzhou actually only agreed to name one person when the emperor said that, making it clear that he was not giving the emperor face.

With a cold snort, the emperor said, "Okay, it's fine even if you're alone, it's better than nothing."

After speaking, the emperor looked at Qin Ruhua again, and continued, "Ruhua, where are you? Can't you just pick one person?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Qin Ruhua took a step forward and said, "Returning to the emperor, the warriors and mages sent by the Eka people this time can be said to be a strong lineup. Tomorrow's martial arts competition, the minimum people who want to dispatch are junior god fighters and junior magisters. As for me, most of them are Saint Seiya Masters and Demon Spirit Masters."

Speaking of this, Qin Ruhua sighed, and continued: "Bite the bullet, this is not a problem, but it is not good to lose the emperor's face."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to mention Saint Seiya and Magic Spiritual Master anymore, just tell me, Magister and God Warrior, how many can you come up with?"

Qin Ruhua deliberately hesitated, and said: "The only one who can do it is Liu Jinglei, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He just got promoted last month and became a junior god fighter."

The emperor nodded, looked at Qin Ruhua with squinted eyes again, and asked, "There is only one person? Is there no second person?"

Feeling the emperor's cold gaze, Qin Ruhua felt a little guilty.In recent days, the emperor seems to have become powerful for no reason.Between words and deeds, there is nothing but contempt for Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, which would never have been the case in the past.

Even if Ye Tian has a little power now, the royal family has a backer, but it is not so contemptuous of Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, two people with power over the government and the people who cover the sky with one hand.

Some couldn't figure it out, but Qin Ruhua didn't want to openly give the emperor a bad look on this occasion.After hesitating for a while, Qin Ruhua said again: "If you are talking about the level of a god fighter and a magister, besides Liu Jinglei, there is only my little girl by my side."

Hearing Qin Ruhua's words, the emperor was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that there is really no one available to the minister of state affairs?He actually moved out his own daughter.

"How is Yan'er?" the emperor asked.

Qin Ruhua smiled lightly and said: "In addition to being naughty, Yan'er's light magic is progressing rapidly. At the end of last year, I invited someone from the Immortal Master of Shenshan to consecrate Yan'er. By the beginning of spring, Yan'er succeeded. Promoted to become a junior magister."
