The next day, on the front page of the < Daily News >, there was an article with the title < A Hero in the War of Nations, But Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Guard Against. >
Bai Xiaosheng used vivid ink to describe the heroic deeds of Marquis Lian Zhou, who started the war, defeated the Annan Navy, and seized a large number of treasures. He described Not Yi as a hero in the war of nations.
Immediately after, he changed the topic and mentioned the Bank of the Four Seas that had just passed. According to the Black Snake Guards' investigation, it was vaguely revealed that this was a meticulously planned conspiracy.
The goal was to achieve an ulterior motive through unfair competition.
The two incidents were cleverly linked together to arouse the players' common hatred for a common enemy. While clearing the Bank of the Four Seas' grievances, it also vaguely attacked the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the report came out, it naturally caused a huge uproar.
For the players in the China region, the war of nations was a very hot topic. Although Ouyang Shuo did it for personal reasons, in the eyes of the players, he was a great hero.
Just this point alone was enough to raise Shanhai City's prestige to the peak. Any kind of negative news would have to retreat in the face of such a trend.
As such, the players naturally hated this backstabbing villain behind the scenes.
The irrefutable evidence was irrefutable.
Any player with a bit of brains knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was referring to.
For a moment, the direction of public opinion was one-sided.
The low popularity of the Bank of the Four Seas skyrocketed again. Correspondingly, the recently popular Huitong Bank's reputation plummeted. No matter what tricks they played, it was of no use.
Ouyang Shuo's move caught many unprepared. It could be said that he had overcome a thousand catties with little effort.
Jingchu Province, Dan Yang City.
"Bastard!"
After reading the report, Lord Chunshen was extremely resentful towards Bai Xiaosheng's position. Such an obvious bias could only be said that the < Wilderness Newspaper > was slowly leaning towards the < Shanhai Alliance >.
Shanhai City's influence was constantly seeping into other areas.
A meticulously planned show was easily broken by Who Says Wuyi. This caused the extremely conceited Lord Chunshen to feel very upset.
It was as if he had painstakingly prepared a big move and wanted to KO the opponent in one hit, only to find out that the opponent only stretched out a finger and the move was broken. Such a feeling of defeat was really stifling.
"Just wait and see!" Lord Chunshen's eyes were firm.
This was a person who would not easily give up.
Shanhai City, Eastern Fence Sword Faction.
On the cliff platform, two female disciples wearing the uniform of the inner court were chatting.
"Feifei, I heard that your father was demoted," said a slightly chubby female disciple.
"Mm." The other petite female disciple was clearly in low spirits. It was Meng Feifei.
His father had been working hard during the bank run. Unexpectedly, he was still demoted. How Meng Feifei's heart was felt when she saw her father's back.
It was not because she was worried about her father's position.
"In my opinion, Ouyang is too ruthless. He doesn't care about his feelings at all." The slightly plump female disciple was naturally Meng Feifei's classmate and good friend, Tan Xiaoli.
It was Ouyang Shuo who allowed them to join the Eastern Fence Sword Faction.
Yi. Xiaosheng Against Yang Two Joined Sect.
When they first joined Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo was still the number one feudal lord, and the two of them could still pay a visit to the feudal lord's mansion because of their relationship as classmates.
Now, it would take a lot of courage to walk into the Protectorate General's Residence.
There was a huge gap between the two.
Even at Ouyang Shuo's wedding, they were just the most ordinary guests. They did not even have the qualifications to be toasted by Ouyang Shuo.
Meng Feifei's petty thoughts and confused feelings from before had long vanished into thin air.
"Ouyang has his own difficulties. Father, you're already taking extra care of him by allowing him to stay on." Meng Feifei wasn't an unreasonable person. She understood the situation.
Tan Xiaoli let out a long sigh. How could she not know?
It was just that the world had changed so much that people could not help but sigh.
Since when did that ordinary-looking young man in real life become an existence that countless people in the game had to look up to? Even when they talked about him in private, they would unconsciously use honorifics.
"I heard that Ruan Ping is still thinking of a counterattack." Tan Xiaoli changed the topic.
"Him?" Meng Feifei raised an eyebrow. A hint of disdain flashed across her face. She said indifferently, "He's just putting on a one-man show. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how big the gap between the two of them is. "
"Damn girl, when did your words become so poisonous?" Tan Xiaoli was surprised.
In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Feifei was a typical obedient girl. She was shy and introverted. Even if she was dissatisfied with someone, she would not show it on her face.
What he said just now was really shocking.
"I'm just speaking the truth," Meng Feifei said indifferently.
"At least he's still fighting!" Tan Xiaoli shook her head and sighed again. "What about us? We don't even know where our future is. We also don't know when the sect system will be activated in the wilderness. The martial world is still an illusory term. "
"It will come." Meng Feifei's eyes were firm.
The current swordsmen, including the sect disciples, were still in a dormant stage. They cultivated hard, honed their martial arts, and endured loneliness. They were waiting for the arrival of the martial world to shine.
A breeze blew past, carrying away the young girl's whisper.
That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo held an emergency board meeting.
His goal was naturally to settle scores after the fall.
Li Wei had already been imprisoned by the Black Snake Guards and awaited the Disciplinary Bureau's punishment. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Wei would spend the next year in a cold prison cell.
A year was the maximum time Gaia could hold a player in custody.
It could be said that Li Wei's gaming career was destined to end in desolation and dismal. Even if Li Wei was released from prison, he would not be able to stand up after offending Shanhai City.
When the other players received the news, they all felt apprehensive.
As for the players who maliciously accessed the files, although they were instigated by someone, there was no problem with the program. Hence, Ouyang Shuo naturally could not pursue the matter. He did not want to leave a negative image of himself as a vengeful person.
However, the leader of the group needed to be punished.
There was no need for Ouyang Shuo to say anything about punishing a few ordinary players. There would naturally be someone to handle it. After all, there were five or six super guilds under the Shanhai Alliance.
Guilds were the true experts when it came to dealing with adventure-type players.
The most important part of the meeting was to discuss the punishment for the three media outlets, including the [Chang 'an Evening News].
"Gaia has a rule that once a news outlet reports false news and causes a negative impact, their media qualifications will be revoked. The relevant personnel will also be banned from the news industry." Ouyang Shuo was very familiar with the game's settings. He introduced, "I have already appealed to Gaia. I believe there will be an outcome soon."
Even the [Chang 'an Evening News]'s editor-in-chief might not know of this setting. They thought that it was just a column on the official forum that could be randomly written.
Little did they know that Gaia had already implanted the relevant Federation laws into the game. Since they wanted to make the game more realistic, how could they lack the restrictions of the law?
These people were a little too naive.
Ouyang Shuo guessed that Gaia was probably waiting for such an opportunity to straighten out the various media outlets that had been popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
After all, for an industry to flourish, a healthy format was extremely necessary. It was because of this that Ouyang Shuo was confident that Gaia would severely punish the [Chang 'an Evening News].
Among the players, Ouyang Shuo was the only one who had schemed against Gaia.
"Good, we should teach those bastards a lesson." The Siege Lion cheered. In this incident, Black Lion City was the worst hit.
"Even if they are disbanded, they can still live a good life with other people's commissions." Feng Qiuhuang was very concerned about these matters.
"Then what should we do?" The Siege Lion was a little indignant.
"Leave this to us," Bright Moon Illuminates the River said calmly. "If we don't kill them until they reincarnate, how can we vent our anger?"
There was a hint of killing intent in his tone.
Ouyang Shuo did not comment on this. It was indeed more appropriate for the guild to deal with some matters.
In a tacit agreement, no one mentioned how to take revenge on the [Yanhuang Alliance]. In reality, such a huge organization could not be dealt with in a short time.
None of the people present were boorish.
Ouyang Shuo was already a little annoyed with the [Yanhuang Alliance]'s little tricks. From now on, the [Shanhai Alliance]'s strategy against the [Yanhuang Alliance] would slowly change from passive defense to active offense.
After returning to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo was already planning some countermeasures. However, he did not have a clear plan for these matters, so it was not convenient to discuss them.
Ouyang Shuo's true goal for this board meeting was to stabilize the army's morale.
Evidently, this goal had been achieved.
Apart from this, the Bank of the Four Seas' weakness was also exposed. They did not have a single partner in Chang 'an and Xiangyang Royal Cities.
The other party chose Chang 'an because they saw through this weakness.
Hence, in this meeting, Ouyang Shuo took out a list of guilds and territories that were still standing strong and had a good reputation in the past five years.
Ouyang Shuo suggested that they focus on these guilds and territories.
After this incident, Ouyang Shuo's reputation had increased by another level. Although the others were a little suspicious of Ouyang Shuo's confidence, they still chose to believe him.
Not long after, Ouyang Shuo would be leaving. These matters naturally had to be handled by Feng Qiuhuang and the others. It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo had to make things clear in order to prevent any delays.
The Bank of the Four Seas' territory would definitely expand.
