Chapter 160 Fighting Mental Technique
Despite this setback, everyone will certainly not give up on publicity. Moreover, as Joshua said, "This is not even a failure." Because at the scene, after all, there were still many people who supported it, but they were always timid and cowardly and did not dare to speak out.
A few hours later, the large-scale propaganda posters were cleared away one by one by the police knights who arrived, and then the whole city began to search for traces of the Gray Army.
Naturally, the hotel where Tang En and the others were staying was also inspected, but when they entered the city they looked like a small business group, their identities had been confirmed in advance, and they had goods and so on, so they passed easily in the end.
In the following days, Josiah and the others became more covert in their propaganda. Every time I go out, I have to change my image, and there are fewer posts, instead they are spread over a large area. Therefore, when the citizens of Liva City are walking on the road recently, they are always inexplicably covered by a large piece of white paper falling from a height.
It will undoubtedly be difficult to catch him in this situation. It is a medium-sized city after all. Even if the police station sends everyone out, it will not be able to cover the entire city. And there is no clue about the target, so we can't catch everyone on the street.
In the end, the police cavalry were more like a city cleaning team. He ran around like he was putting out a fire, collecting fallen propaganda papers and burning them.
Of course, things like thoughts cannot be eliminated by the cavalry. In addition, some people secretly brought back big-character posters, so before long, the hottest topic in Liva City was the Gray Army.
..."Hi, good afternoon, let's have a glass of light wine!" A slightly tired Tang En sat in front of the wine cabinet and took out a dozen copper coins.
The atmosphere in the city was tense. When Josiah and the others went out, he would naturally bring Gray Space members to guard them. Choosing an address, planning an escape route, monitoring all directions...all of this made them exhausted.
"It's Mr. Arthur, here, here it is!" He quickly took back the copper coins, and the fat shopkeeper brought a glass of light yellow ale.
Tsk tsk... After taking a big sip and suppressing his burning throat, Tang En let out a long sigh of relief. Then he looked up and saw the shop owner flipping through the newspaper. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Boss, what are you looking at?"
After staying for a few days, Tang En and the others naturally got to know the owner a little bit. This guy is the embodiment of a miser in drama, and he is extremely greedy for money. But this is also good for Tang En and the others. Just like when the guard cavalry came to inspect a few days ago, he said a lot of good things for everyone. Although this was from the perspective of making more money, it is undeniable that he did help.
"What else could it be, the gray-robed army..." the shop owner said nonchalantly. Then he spread out the newspaper and said, "Look, almost all the pages of the newspaper are talking about this matter recently."
Tang En took out one and couldn't help but smacked his mouth twice. The title clearly read "Beware of the conspiracy of the gray-clothed rioters", "Reveal the true face of the gray-clothed rioters", etc... Needless to say, the contents are all superficial. It has a nose and eyes, but upon closer inspection, it is full of slanderous rumors.
With a thought in his heart, Tang En put down the newspaper and said casually: "Boss, what do you think of the Gray Army?"
"Me?" The fat shopkeeper was stunned, then shrugged, "How can I see it? I just feel that they occupy my favorite section of aristocratic ladies and young ladies having affairs. Well, does this count... They are making trouble. For them, I can just open my hotel."
"Haha, not bad. Let them make trouble." Tang En curled his lips and chuckled. Yes, of course this has nothing to do with the shop owner in front of him who still has an industry and has no worries about food and clothing.
"Team leader, isn't this... bad?"
"It doesn't matter...it will work out."
"Would you like to talk to everyone..."
"When we succeed...well, Captain Arthur!"
While Tang En was chatting with the hotel owner, he heard faint chatter coming from the back door of the lobby. When he turned around, it was Colin and several members of the publicity department.
"Hello." Tang En nodded and held up the wine glass, "Would you like a drink?"
"Thank you, no need. We have to go out first if we have something to do." Colin smiled.
"Oh. Are you going to do something? Do you want me to go with you?" Tang En thought Colin and the others were going out to promote, so he asked one more question.
Colin waved his hand: "No, we are just going out for a walk. Well, I won't disturb you for drinking."
Tang En didn't pay attention and nodded, and then Colin and the others walked out of the hotel.
Of course, a glass of wine won't last long. Tang En was just quenching his thirst, not an alcoholic. He greeted the shopkeeper and walked to the back.
"Ah..." As soon as he entered the attic, Tang En saw Jack yawning and walking down the stairs.
"Tsk, tsk, you are indeed a rat that moves at night." Tang En laughed, and said with a half-smile, "How about you, do you want to relax your muscles and bones, and I will go out with you to play?"
"No, don't go!" Jack refused without hesitation, "I don't know you yet, but you want to drag me to step on it again!"
Tang En was not embarrassed when his thoughts were guessed. He smiled and said: "It sounds so ugly to step on the spot. This is called letting out the wind."
"Bah, bah... you just went to jail." Jack spat a few times, then straightened his face, "It's not like I've done nothing. Well, after all the hard work I did last night..."
"Stop, let's get down to business!"
Jack glared at Tang En: "Okay, there is news about the fighting spirit method."
"Uh...what?" Tang En was startled at first, then overjoyed. To be honest, he didn't have much hope when he asked Jack to inquire. After all, the high-level fighting spirit method was really precious, and most people who owned it cherished it so much that they would never take it out. But now Jack actually found out... Um, wait, this kid is not playing tricks on me, right?
"What's the matter with your strong sense of distrust?" Jack rolled his eyes and said, "You are lucky. There will be an auction in the city at six o'clock tonight, which is at least an advanced fighting spirit method. But I have heard that A lot of people came over because of this, and it’s hard to say what the price of this thing will be at auction.”
"Haha, that's good!" Tang En laughed heartily, then pulled Jack, "Come on, come out with me now."
Staggering two steps, Jack said in a panic: "Hey, what are you doing? I haven't eaten lunch yet..."
"I'll treat you to a big dinner later. Now you take me to the jeweler in the city...don't say you don't know."
Jack was a thief. Even if he couldn't do it, because of his professional habits, he would know the jewelry stores in the city very well. After all, it was fun to look at them... Of course, Tang En was not buying jewelry when he went to jewelry stores. On the contrary, he was selling. Needless to say the value of the Dou Qi Mind Technique, Tang En’s money is definitely not enough. So he was going to redeem the looted jewelry and diamonds that Luo Sha had given them before.
Although these things are stolen goods, they have no marks on them, so as long as you don't take something that is too eye-catching, such as the unique crown on the head of the emperor of the empire, then there will be no problem.
Jack is very sensitive to the value of these things and will not suffer any loss. After wandering around for a long time, the two finally sold the things in batches and earned a total of 340,000 gold coins.
"Aha, I've made it, I've made it!" After coming out of the last shop, Jack couldn't help but get excited, "I said you're good, but when did you get into the business with so many jewelry?"
"I'm not a thief." Tang En put the golden ticket in his arms and looked at the sky. "That's it. Let's go to the auction house now."
"Uh." Jack's face changed and he said angrily, "I've been busy for a long time, so you can't divide the gold coins...but at least you can make up for my lunch!"
"What to eat? It's important to buy things. Besides, thieves can go hungry."
"...your mother!"
