As a student party, the daily schoolwork is tiring enough, but he still has to insist on updating, and Cheng Qi is really tired enough. In addition, when I first arrived in Bianjing, I was a little uncomfortable. I overate and ate a seafood dinner in Ziming Building, and as a result, I suffered retribution and had diarrhea for a few days.

Jianghu Langzhong said it well, and a good man can't stand the three bubbles. Cheng Qi had to take a few days off and lay on the bed humming. Wu Liwei, who was still involved, also suspended his studies and took care of himself with Nadeshiko.

Naturally, it's not so easy to recover once the update thing stops. In addition, the madman Xia Yusi is not here now, and Cheng Qi is even more happy to give himself a holiday. But he didn't expect that as soon as he broke off, someone would send a blade to the newspaper. Peng Youzhi waited for a few days and didn't wait for the manuscript sent by Bianjing through the express train, so he decided to go north in person, and took his sister-in-law, sister and other female relatives to charter a carriage together.

The author's first meeting with the editor who came from Hangzhou was undoubtedly touching, and even reminded Cheng Qi of the unlucky place of the White Emperor City.

After shaking his head desperately and driving out the mess, he focused his attention on Peng Youzhi.

The serialization of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has gradually improved, and as Ling Hu Chong is no longer invincible, the audience is increasingly looking forward to the future development - but as an editor, it is important to think more. Peng Youzhi went north this time, in addition to urging the change, there was a more important thing, that is, to talk to Cheng Qi about the copyright of the next book.

In fact, Cheng Qi has also thought about this question, after the end of this "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which path should he take? It's quick to become famous through novels, but fame comes and goes quickly. If you don't come up with some dry goods, at most you will be a little official who can write novels in the future.

There are many talented people in the Great Song Dynasty, which is beyond Cheng Qi's imagination, and although "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a refreshing feeling in the literary world, it is not an earth-shattering initiative. And in just a few months, all kinds of imitators have sprung up, obviously give them a little more time, and the grandmaster throne of the new school of martial arts novels will be handed over to Xian.

"So I wanted to write something that no one else had written. For example - anti-martial arts. ”

"Anti-martial arts?"

"Yes, a shell of the martial arts world, now I have two ideas."

"I want to hear about it."

"I'll start with the first one, this story takes place in a rich man in the countryside who loves to read martial arts novels and believes in them. After reading one hundred and eight martial arts novels, he is determined to go out and find the real heroes to save the poor in the world. Then he and a tenant from the same village set out on a lean horse and a donkey. Along the way, they made a lot of jokes, regarded ** as a strange man, regarded the robbers who were escorted by the officials as a suffering hero, and got involved in an inexplicable clan fight in the village, but they still thought they were participating in the martial arts conference...... The gentry who were deliberately tricked at them dressed up as a drama and swaggered through the county, causing countless jokes. But this person has a good heart, and is very tenacious, although sometimes the brain case is not very refreshing, but in the end he repented, and before he died, he declared that there are no heroes in this world. But a passing Yunyou monk told him that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, not comparing the level of martial arts. His life is purely to help others, save people and help others, and he is a real hero. ”

Peng You clapped his hands and said: "This story is good, but it is also worth writing." What's the other one? I'd love to hear about it, too. ”

"The story takes place in Persia, and it was told to me by a Persian merchant that it was a story that was passed down among their tribe. The story takes place after ancient Persia was conquered by the heavenly army, and the adventures of a young man among the Persian folk ......"

After Cheng Qi changed the story of Lu Dinggong, he transferred the flowers to the Persians. After listening to the two stories, Peng Youzhi felt that they were quite interesting, and he had reached a new breakthrough in the core concept of anti-martial arts.

If "Smiling Proud Jianghu" portrays a wild wave swordsman to oppose the "hypocrites and real villains", or a breakthrough and innovation within the martial arts system, then whether it is "The Legend of Deer and Ding" or "The Adventures of Tang Jijun, a Gentleman in the Pingtan Country", it is a subversion of the martial arts system itself.

As an experienced publisher, Peng Youzhi keenly feels that no matter which of these two novels will become classics, but now he is tangled like a donkey in Baoding Mansion, starving to death between two stacks of hay!

With the sadness of difficulty in choosing, Peng Youzhi returned to the Tongfu Inn where he was temporarily staying with the difficult question of choice. He knocked on the room next to his guest room, walked in and sat on the round stool by the table, still thinking about the major question of which manuscript to choose first, and at the same time took out a copy of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" signed by Cheng Qi from his sleeve and handed it to a girl who was pouring water for herself: "Sister, this is the book you want." ”

"Thank you, brother!" Peng Youzhi's younger sister Peng Youcen happily took the idol's autograph book from her eldest brother, and before she was happy for two minutes, she noticed that her brother's expression seemed to be wrong. So he put down the book, pestered him and asked, "Brother, brother, what's wrong?" Could it be that Mr. Cheng is unwilling to renew the contract? ”

"Not really." Peng Youzhi said distressedly: "But Mr. Cheng gave my brother a big problem, he took out two outlines at once, both of which were first-class samples, and my brother didn't know how to choose at once." ”

Peng Youcen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, then my brother signed both books together and let him write them locally." ”

This is also the idea of the average reader, since the author has an outline, then give him some time, and it will soon be the best of both worlds. But Peng Youzhi knew that things were not so simple. The spark of ideas is fleeting, and sometimes inspiration is missed and never returned. No matter which of these two books Cheng Qi wrote, when the day of the end, even if he wants to open a new book, then it will not be the remaining one at that time.

Peng Youzhi thought back and forth for a long time, and felt that it was difficult to choose between the two books, and it was difficult to cut love no matter which one it was. In the end, he kicked Keju back: "Mr. is the author, let's listen to Mr." ”

Cheng Qi received his reply, and he could only smile bitterly: In fact, if he could make a decision, he would not ask Peng Youzhi. However, it was Huang Yang who helped him make up his mind: "Don't have Long Wangshu, my brother." You kill the Eastern Sect Master first, if you kill him, you will then kill the hypocrite Junzi Jian. Your book is still far away, what will you write next...... The ship sank naturally at the head of the bridge, what is the hurry! ”

Cheng Qi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was true, so he threw down the two-page draft to Wu Liwei and asked him to help him fill the water and write the text. And he and his two or three friends, taking advantage of the holiday to take a carriage to Tokyo City to visit the world of flowers.
