"What's wrong? Panicked? ”

Unlike the panic of his own stupid apprentice, Xu Shi kept as calm as possible.

"Master, it's a newspaper......"

Pan Ling held a thick stack of all kinds of tabloids, and her face couldn't stop being anxious.

"What's all the fuss about the newspapers?"

Xu Shi smiled, "The first day you saw them smeared as teachers?" ”

The newspaper industry in the Hualan Empire is actually quite rich, the royal family and the Holy See have their own official newspapers, and there are all kinds of tabloids flying all over the people - strictly speaking, the latter is actually not allowed by the law, but after a few bans on both sides, it is found that it cannot be eradicated, and in the end it can only be left unchecked, and it becomes a secret that is not a secret.

And since the day the Poseidon Stone trade was launched, reports about Xu Shi, a guy who gradually came into the public eye, have not stopped.

The content of the report has been mixed: during the trading period of Poseidon Stone, some praised it for bringing economic prosperity, while others accused it of speculation and disrupting the market.

After a lot of chicken feathers, it stopped for a while - it's not that no one scolded, but at that time, the royal family and the Holy See were involved, and scolding one was equal to all the round, and Xu Shi reached a cooperation with the royal family quickly, and the final public opinion could only be stopped.

Now that the Maomao Sect is on the rise, he, the sect leader and the new emperor, is in the limelight and is going to be taken out for a wave of hype, but this time it is more praised, who asked him to give everyone money...... The so-called negative is more focused on lace news.

For example, he has a deep relationship with the eldest lady Jiang Chengcheng, and the second lady Xia Wuwu and his wife, of course, what people love to watch more is the story between him and the guard surnamed Shen, who is suspected of being his sister, and the story that has to be told between him and his beloved apprentice......

If you are a little bolder, you will also hint that there may be something between him, the leader of the Cat Sect and Xia Ke'an, the saint of the Cat Sect, and if you are a little bolder, you will even vaguely describe the relationship between him and the little empress of the current empire......

There is one thing to say, the report that dares to involve the latter is very remarkable to be published once, and the royal family attacked with an iron fist, and the only remaining issue was even speculated at a sky-high price.

As for the former, it was quickly confirmed that the relationship between the two was probably father-daughter.

Everyone didn't say anything when they found out, but they were even more excited.

It can be seen that most of the people who can publish these two topics are not serious newspapers, so the public should have fun watching them.

Only Xu Shi's own people here know that these are actually quite true...... Of course, the content can't be beaten, but the tone really hasn't deviated much.

So, if you insist on saying it, it doesn't seem to be a smear?

However, he is a thick-skinned person, and he has been completely immune to these things as early as the City of Night Sin, and his only role is to take it out to educate the stupid apprentice who has no resistance to the suppression of public opinion, and tell her that there are so many people who are popular, and she must learn to deal with them calmly.

Pan Ling vaguely remembered that the master was still sighing at the time, "How did Lao Tzu become a Russian demon monk inexplicably", she was quite curious at that time? What kind of character is that?

The bad master said that he should inquire less about this matter, and it is better to drink two more glasses of milk if he has this leisure.

So until now, she doesn't know what exactly Russia is, and she doesn't know if she got such a name because she raised geese well.

The master said no, if it was, it should be called Goose City.

But.

Now is not the time to think about these boring questions.

"No, it's not......"

The stupid apprentice came back to his senses and said with a serious face, "Actually, since yesterday, these reports have become a bit strange......

"Huh?"

Xu Shi took it curiously, and found the problem at a glance.

Because of the reports of the past two days, the focus has changed.

Shocked! The current emperor was devoured by the sea god with his wife? I'm afraid I've become a demon vassal! 》

"Cat Cat Teaching? Poseidon! 》

"Three views are ruined! The royal family and the ......"

If you take out a good one at random, what catches your eye is such a headline, and the records are naturally all about the events of Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan's crusade against the sea god at that time.

According to the above nonsense, ah no, it is reasonable to guess that it is impossible for the person who was devoured by the sea god to survive, so the two Xu Shi who survived are naturally no longer people, but the parasitic body of the sea god.

The sea god was jealous of the human race for killing him, so he used various ways to take revenge.

The Seagod Stone trade is a lesson, and the Holy Fire Cat Cult is a trick to manipulate people's hearts, with the purpose of completely destroying the entire Hualan Empire.

And today's royal family has been infiltrated and bewitched, which is the best proof of this.

You don't have to think about it to know who is behind all this.

Apparently, the Holy See could not sit still and began to use this method to create panic.

“…… It's too much! Who the hell is smearing my brother behind his back! ”

Shen Qin was not at work today, and when he saw the above content, he was furious, and he was ready to go out with a knife to teach these short-sighted things a lesson.

"Xiaoqin."

Xu Shi stopped her, "Don't be impulsive. ”

He was still calm, although he also felt that it was too much.

Just, how to put it, it's really excessive.

Because he used this method to put pressure on the Forsaken a year ago, and now the boomerang is back?

Of course, seeing that the leader of the "Forsaken" back then is now indignantly avenging his grievances, it seems that the effect of the show is more serious than the effect of public opinion.

This made Xu Shi, who was fragile in his heart, unable to hold back for a while and laughed.

"You...... Brother, you're still laughing! ”

Shen Qin couldn't be angry when he saw this, "Brother, you just have a good temper, so you let them bully so unscrupulously!" ”

Sorry, I can't help it...... Xu Shi cleared his throat in embarrassment, looked at his good sister who had completely gone to the stupid route and never looked back, and comforted her in turn.

"It's okay, what else can I do with your brother with this little thing?"

He waved his hand and said, "The point is not here, but the follow-up effect of these reports." ”

One thing to say, the newspaper industry in the Hualan Empire is very developed, but it is not humble to say that their ability to manipulate public opinion may not be as good as their own - no matter what they did before, it was a habit to send Su Lin to find their good brother Qi Maoyang to occupy the moral high ground first, and they had long been accustomed to it.

So he didn't look down on the media system here at all before, public opinion and everything is piggybacking, and naturally someone will help publicize it when things are done, what kind of effort does it take?

But for the people of the empire, this trick still works.

Especially when most of these things are still true - as we all know, the same sentence will of course have different effects when said in different ways, just like the Poseidon Stone Transaction, at best, it is for the benefit of the family, and at worst, it becomes a "lesson of the Poseidon", even if the Holy Fire Cat Sect is so beneficial to the country and the people, it will not be spared.

But I still have to say that Xu Shi was not taken away by the sea god to live in sojourn, which is pure and pure smear, and I hereby clarify, I hope you will keep your eyes open.

But in any case, the shock will never be small, the cat and cat religion is not yet a firm foothold, and now it is so smeared, even if it is canonized by the royal family, it is impossible not to be affected.

Because even the royal family has been pulled in, this is a rather dangerous signal, which means that the Holy See is going to die.

Otherwise, they don't have to involve the royal family, just themselves?

Obviously, he had boiled frogs in warm water before and had made them a little overwhelmed step by step, and now he just wanted to strangle himself in the cradle, and maybe he would have to change the sun and the moon to a new day to prevent future troubles.

"When will our ship arrive?"

After smoothing out the cause and effect, Xu Shi rubbed his temples tiredly, "Don't tell me it's today." ”

No one answered his question, apparently the cargo ship was docked today.

Otherwise, why did these news break out in these days? Of course, it is to disrupt his position to the greatest extent, so that he can take care of one or the other.

"Then hurry up and get ready."

Fortunately, Xu Shi didn't mess up because of this, and quickly recovered his state and arranged it.

"Xiaoling Xiaofeng, the two of you go to the church with Ke'an, public opinion will inevitably affect the Maomao Sect, and the Holy Maiden needs to come forward to stabilize."

"Xiao Qin, you go to the palace, don't reveal your whereabouts, if there is anything abnormal over there, report to me in time."

"I'll go to the dock with Wuwu and watch our cargo ship land safely."

"Chengcheng, you're not good at fighting, stay at home at this time...... No, you'd better stay with me. ”

"Master, then thank you for her ......"

Pan Ling couldn't help but ask.

"There's no way, you have to stagger her at this time."

Xu Shi gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "The Holy See has made it clear that it is using her as a breakthrough, and it can't give them this opportunity." ”

This is true, others are not very affected by these reports, but Xie Qingyan may not.

With her current state of mind, seeing this kind of thing can be considered successful without going crazy, not to mention that the Holy See is quite cautious, so that some of these tabloids remain as they are.

Now there is even a comparison - if you change to someone else, you will love him for a long time, and she will be a monster with a bad mind.

Today's Xie Qingyan is jealous, and she will explode when she sees herself getting close to others, and the lethality of these things to her can be imagined.

Fortunately, she is not here at the moment - since the Cold War, except for the necessary contact, she doesn't even want to see Xu Shi, either locking herself in her room, or taking Ye Shanshan with me I don't know where she went.

Today she is in the latter situation, and now it seems to be a blessing in misfortune...... Is it?

In fact, it may not be, she is even more worried when she is alone, and she does not expect that relying on one Ye Shanshan can calm the anger of her master.

So the situation is very polarized now, either she doesn't know anything and gets through it safely, or ...... It's going to be a big thing.

But now is not the time to sit at home and analyze back and forth, you must first stabilize the situation in all aspects.

“…… It's disgusting. ”

Rao is Pan Ling couldn't help but scold with such a good temper, of course she also saw the purpose of the Holy See's doing, otherwise she wouldn't have been so anxious before.

In her opinion, such a trick is a bit insidious, but this trick still worked, and it can be seen from the master's expression that he is even a little anxious.

"If you want to learn public opinion warfare, there will be opportunities in the future."

After a while, he didn't talk nonsense, and waved his big hand and said, "Hurry up and do your own thing, go to her as much as possible after you're done, and take her home, you know?" ”

"Okay."

Everyone is fine.

Only Shen Qin was a little unhappy, and asked tentatively, "Brother, can you let Xiao Qin go to the dock with you?" I still want to stay by my brother's side and protect him. ”

During this time, she hadn't had much contact with her brother, and she wouldn't lose much if she was really jealous.

“…… Then I'll go to the palace, and you guys just need to be safe. ”

At the critical moment, Xia Wuwu didn't care too much, and took the initiative to change positions with her, "If the situation over there is good, I will come back in time." ”

After all, the royal family only needs to confirm it, they don't need to worry about safety or anything, and it's not enough to have Cheng Gujian?

“…… Okay, let's go back quickly. ”

Xu Shi nodded, and everyone acted separately.

"That, brother, Xiao Qin really didn't mean to be willful......"

On the way to the dock, Shen Qin still couldn't help it, and explained aggrievedly.

This sounds a bit teay, but she just wants to spend more time with Xu Shi - the truth is that since the establishment of the Maomao Sect, she has rarely been able to be with her brother.

Originally, the layer of window paper was not pierced, but now I have witnessed Xie Qingyan's incident...... It's not so much a scheming as a crisis.

"Well, I know, our Xiao Qin is the most well-behaved, right?"

Xu Shi didn't blame her, but touched her head.

The last thing to worry about is her, her memories can't be reshaped until they are reshaped, let alone now.

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Qin nodded vigorously, "I will also protect my brother!" ”

"Okay."

As they spoke, several people arrived at the dock.

"Have you confirmed, when will the cargo ship arrive?"

Now that there is their own area, the facilities and personnel are all the own of Night Sin City, so it is much easier to get things done.

"About an hour and a half, Xu Dong."

The person in charge is a member of the combat team, and he is called as always.

"An hour and a half...... Then just wait. ”

Xu Shi nodded, this time is very delicate, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, I am afraid that it will be too late to find someone.

"Don't frown, it'll be fine."

Seeing the clouds on his face, Jiang Chengcheng smiled and comforted.

"I hope so."

Xu Shi was noncommittal and smiled at her.

It's a cloudy day.

In the world shrouded in "rusty fog", the day may not be much white, but the night is too dark.

When night fell and the lights were on, the steel beast of the sea finally appeared in everyone's field of vision, slowly approaching the shore from far and near.

"Unload as fast as possible."

He didn't slack off for a moment, and then commanded.

"Yes."

Watching everyone go up and down in an orderly manner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally unaffected...... bar.

However.

The next moment.

A somewhat sharp questioning voice sounded behind everyone.

"Xu Shi, can you explain to me what the hell is going on here?!"

The cold is finally almost gone, and tomorrow it will explode hard,
