After the simple discussion, everyone put away the picnic tools and put them in the car, and then started to visit Yanbo Lake.
Near evening, they returned to the eldest grandson's house. At this moment, the eldest grandson Dongju and Ouyang Lan had prepared a sumptuous dinner for the family to have dinner together.
After dinner, Ye Bufan went to the study of the family eldest son, Sun Cangsong. At this moment, Dongfang Jianye, the head of the Dongfang family, and Sima Pingcuo, the head of the Sima family, were already waiting here.
Seeing him entering, Dongfang Jianye said anxiously: "Xiaofan, do you know about the Yunxia Mountain War Letter?"
Ye Bufan nodded: "I understand."
Sima Puncuo also said nervously: "What should we do? How should we deal with it? It is said that the other party has an imperial master. Even if we want to ask for help, we can't find such a strong person."
Changsun Cangsong also frowned, pacing around the room with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Fan, this time the matter is a bit big."
"Uncle, Master Dongfang, don't be nervous, it's just Yunxia Mountain, it's no big deal."
Dongfang Jianye said with a face of surprise: "Xiaofan, have you thought of a way?"
Sima Puncuo then said: "Yes, if there is anything we need to do, just ask us."
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "There are indeed some things that I need your help with."
Changsun Cangsong said: "Xiao Fan, as long as you can survive this disaster, you can tell me anything you want."
Ye Bufan said: "We all have market quotations for the industries under our three major families. Let's open the market now."
Dongfang Jianye was a little stunned: "What does this mean?"
"Don't you understand?" Ye Bufan said with a smile, "Tomorrow is the day of the war. With such a good opportunity, how can we not make a big profit."
Changsun Cangsong asked: "You mean, we will start betting on the battle of Yanbo Lake tomorrow?"
Ye Bufan nodded: "That's what I mean."
Dongfang Jianye shook his head: "Xiaofan, when has this been, why are you still thinking about money? What's the use of having more money if you lose?"
In his opinion, Ye Bufan must have known that he would lose, so he wanted to make a profit from this battle.
Sima Puncuo said: "And in this kind of battle where the outcome can be determined at a glance, even if we open the market, we will only lose everything in the end, and there will definitely be no profit."
Ye Bufan was slightly surprised at first, and then laughed.
"Do you have such no confidence in me? I asked you to open the market without saying that you would bet on me to lose. Let's win both this battle and the bet. Wouldn't it be nice to have a win-win situation?"
"this……"
Hearing what he said, the three masters present were a little confused.
Changsun Cangsong asked: "Xiaofan, are you serious? This is not the time to joke."
"Of course I am serious." Ye Bufan said firmly, "Believe me, we are sure to win this battle."
"Really? That's really great."
The three of them were immediately overjoyed. You know what Ye Bufan represents now, but once their three major families are defeated in this battle, I am afraid that their three major families will not be able to survive.
Originally, the three of them had been gloomy after receiving the news this afternoon, but now after hearing Ye Bufan's words, they suddenly became energetic, as if they were ten years younger.
After the joy, Dongfang Jianye asked: "How should we open this handicap?"
"Yunxiashan will pay you ten if you win, and you will pay two if I win."
"What, these odds are not suitable, are they?"
Sima Puncuo said, "Nowadays, the outside world is generally optimistic about Yunxia Mountain. If we continue to open the odds like this, I am afraid that the handicap will be one-sided and they will win."
Ye Bufan just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He picked up the teacup next to him and took a leisurely sip.
Sima Pingcuo was a little confused, and Dongfang Jianye slapped him directly on the shoulder.
"Brother Sima, you are really stupid. You have already said that this battle is certain to be won, and what you want is a one-sided handicap.
If someone lets our side win, then wouldn’t it mean that we make less money.”
"Yes, yes, I am so happy that I was confused for a moment."
As the head of the family, Sima Pingcuo was naturally not a fool, and he immediately understood the key point.
Then he said excitedly: "By the way, I have another good idea. We will completely block the battle of Yanbo Lake tomorrow, and then sell tickets to watch the battle for 100,000 per person. We can also make a lot of money."
"This is a good idea, let's make arrangements now..."
The three major families started discussing excitedly, but Ye Bufan ignored them and walked out of the study.
In Xuanyuan Pavilion, when Situ Changkong came back from making a phone call, after Huo Dongping's treatment, the bruises on Huo Jian's face had subsided a lot, but the internal injuries were still there and he still needed some time to recuperate.
Seeing him entering the door, Huo Jian shouted with a ferocious face: "When will that bastard come to kneel down and apologize to me?"
At this moment, Situ Changkong was also full of disgust for this second generation ancestor, but he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.
Huo Dongping asked: "What did the boy say?"
"That... Xiaofan refused..."
In order to prevent Huo Dongping from asking for help in the future, Situ Changkong did not tell all Ye Bufan's words.
"If you refuse, do you have any backbone?" A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Huo Dongping's mouth, "If you want to show up, you have to have the strength. Facing the emperor, does he have any other choice but to die?
You arrogant and ignorant boy, let me see how long he can keep pretending, sooner or later he will kneel down and beg me."
In his opinion, Ye Bufan's toughness was only temporary. If he wanted to resolve the crisis in Yunxia Mountain, he could only come and beg for help in the end.
Huo Jian shouted fiercely: "It's best that he never comes and dies in Hong Sihai's hands."
Although Ye Bufan didn't touch him with a finger, he held all the debts against the other party and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Situ Changkong and An Daoquan let out a long sigh. By now, they were completely confused. They didn't know what to do. They could only wait and see.
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in from outside.
Situ Changkong glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The steward said: "My lord, I just received news that the three major families in the imperial capital have jointly launched a handicap for tomorrow's battle at Yanbo Lake."
"What on earth is Xiaofan going to do? Why is he still in the mood to open the market at this time?"
As the elders of Xuanyuan Pavilion, Situ Changkong and An Daoquan naturally know who is behind the three major families. Ye Bufan should be in charge of all this.
Huo Dongping sneered: "An arrogant and ignorant boy, he really doesn't know that he is about to die. Does he think that he still has the possibility of winning against a strong emperor?"
"this……"
Situ Changkong and An Dao were both silent, obviously they also lacked confidence in Ye Bufan.
Huo Jian asked: "How is the handicap opened?"
"Well..." the butler hesitated and said, "If Yunxia Mountain wins, you will pay ten to one, and if Ye Bufan wins, you will pay two to one."
"Hahaha, this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jian laughed arrogantly. Although he had been practicing in Tiangong, he also knew what the odds were.
He never expected that Ye Bufan would offer such high odds for Yunxia Mountain, while he could only pay 1 to 2.
