Chapter 192: The Comic Boom
Guan Qin never expected that Mo Zhi would place troops around here in advance.
At first, the two sides were still equal in strength, but as time went by, there were more and more reinforcements, Guan Qin really couldn't stand it, and the people around him fell one by one, and there were not many people left who he brought.
The master made a move, and the victory was in the slightest, Mo Zhi saw the opportunity, and a sword pierced Guan Qin's left leg, and with a scream, the sword in Guan Qin's hand fell to the ground, and the whole person fell down.
The people around him saw that Guan Qin had fallen to the ground, and their morale increased greatly, and it didn't take long to clean up the traitors brought by Guan Qin.
Mo Zhi dragged Guan Qin up and sent him into the main hall.
Only then did the emperor come out of the back hall, looked at his son kneeling in front of him, and angrily reprimanded: "You rebel, you have done such a rebellious thing!" ”
Guan Qin's eyes were indifferent, and he snorted coldly: "Didn't you think I was dead for a long time, portraits of me arresting me are posted everywhere in the city, do you still treat me as a son?" "Anyway, there must be no way to survive this time, and he is not a person who survives, either he will become a king or be defeated!
Guan Qin continued: "You only have the crown prince in your eyes, even if his ability is not as good as his son, the father can't see it in his eyes, the matter has come to this, the son has nothing to say, the father will do it!" ”
The emperor looked at Guan Qin, who had no remorse in front of him, he was both cold and helpless, and finally waved his hand weakly: "Drag it out, cut it!" ”
The people around were shocked when they heard this.
"Wait!" Guan Qin said loudly: "Father, don't you know, your good colt is also my person, and everything about the rebellion is handled by him for me!" ”
When Mo Chao heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "The emperor is clear, the second prince wants to form an alliance with me, and the minister would rather die than give in, not to mention, the minister has no reason to help a prince who has lost power, the emperor please Mingcha, or ask the second prince to come up with evidence!" ”
Guan Qin stared closely at Mo Chao who was kneeling beside him, Mo Chao lowered his head and smiled weirdly at Guan Qin.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said: "My messenger, the coachman, and the assassin who went to the teahouse to assassinate him that day have all been killed by me, so you can go with peace of mind, second prince!" ”
The emperor didn't know that Guan Qin had Mo Chao's handle in his hands, so he naturally felt that Mo Chao was not so stupid: "Guan Qin, do you still want to pour dirty water on the horse's body now?" ”
Guan Qin's eyes were full of resentment, his cold gaze shot on Mo Chao's body, and he looked up to the sky and laughed twice: "Haha, I didn't expect to lose here in the end, but Mo Chao, have you forgotten one thing?" ”
Mo Chao was shocked in his heart, knowing that he would finally shake out his own affairs, the two knelt together, very close, his sleeve moved, and the poisonous needle that had been prepared quietly approached Guan Qin, his leg was already injured, and he couldn't feel it at all when he pricked it, but this was a poison specially prepared to make him have no chance to speak.
Almost instantly, Guan Qin's whole body shook violently, his lips turned black, he stared at Mo Chao with angry eyes, and finally vomited blood unwillingly and fell to the ground.
The sudden change startled everyone, and the guards came over to probe before saying, "Your Majesty, you probably committed suicide by taking poison." ”
The emperor sighed lightly, and his whole body fell backwards: "Guan Qin, as the prince of Dayao, is narrow-minded, and he did not hesitate to put his life on the line for power, and he finally embarked on the road of rebellion, and he really deserved this fate." ”
Guan Zhen and Guan Yan knew that this was for the two of them.
Then he said: "It's just that Guan Qin fled and was helpless, how did he get the soldiers in his hands?" ”
Mo Zhi stepped forward and took out a secret letter from his arms: "This was found on the body of the rebel leader, presumably someone must have sent a letter, and the entire rebel army got in touch with the second prince." ”
In fact, Mo Zhi went to find the entourage who reported the news early, but the princess's mansion said that there was no such person, so he thought that it must be Mo Chao who killed people in order to clear his suspicion, and now there is no proof of death, saying that the emperor of the Mo Dynasty faction will not believe it.
When the emperor heard and looked at the secret letter in Mo Zhi's hand, his eyebrows furrowed: "There are such confused officials in the court, Mo Zhi, check for me!" Turn the military department over and find out who this person really is! ”
Mo Zhi leaned over and whispered, "Weichen takes orders." ”
……
Although the emperor is still in the palace, the news has already spread throughout the capital, and An Xian heard that the second prince failed to rebel, and felt that it was also a matter of everyone's mind.
Mo Zhi has been tired for a while, and he has been worrying about this matter all day long, and now that Guan Qin has been beheaded, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Yusheng looked at An Xian's relaxed appearance and said, "Sister An Xian, I heard that Brother Mo made a great contribution when he suppressed the rebels, and so did Qingyuan, the two of them are really powerful." ”
An Xian smiled: "What's not powerful, as long as they are safe, I will be satisfied." ”
While the two were talking, the painter Wang in the inner hall walked out with an excited face: "An Xian, come and see, I've finished painting!" ”
When An Xian heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took the sketch in the hand of Painter Wang and looked at it carefully.
"That's good, it's exactly what I want it to be!" An Xian held the manuscript and laughed, and hurriedly turned around and called Yusheng: "Without further ado, hurry up and contact the printing house, and print it out quickly." ”
Yusheng listened to it and immediately went out with the sketch.
This painting is no longer than the letter, and it takes much longer to engrave it on the woodblock, and it takes more than a month for a hundred complete sets of comic books to be delivered to the library.
Yusheng put it on the shelf, and An Xian took the finished product to look at it, although it was much rougher than modern comics, it was already rare, and besides, it was still able to see it clearly.
He took out a few pieces of drawing paper and asked Painter Wang to draw a few illustrations from the comics, and wrote a line of small characters under the illustrations
"New comics are on the market, and you want to buy them as soon as possible."
Painter Wang and Yusheng were confused by An Xian's actions, what kind of weird trick is An Xian?
An Xian took the rice paper, found a wooden board of suitable size, pasted the rice paper on it, and inserted a stick in the back of the wooden board, she took this thing out of the door, and set up the sign at the door of the library.
The two people in the room were very strange, "An Xian, what are you doing here?" Painter Wang couldn't help but ask.
An Xian smiled slyly: "Hehe, this is called an advertisement, it's like the shouting of the second shopkeeper at the entrance of the noodle restaurant, but I don't need to shout, a board will be done!" ”
Painter Wang glanced at the "advertisement" at the door suspiciously, shook his head and said, "Can this thing work?" ”
"Just wait and see." Saying that, An Xian tilted his head and rolled his eyes again, thinking that it is not enough to have a brand, in modern times, stores will be handed out when they open and accept new ones.
Then he said to Painter Wang, "Painter Wang, please pick out the most interesting painting and paint it for me again." ”
After listening to An Xian's words, Wang turned around and picked up the pen, drew it by dividing it by two in three strokes, picked it up and handed it to An Xian.
An Xian wrote the most interesting paragraph in the book on it, and then gave it to Yu Sheng: "Go to the printing house and print a few hundred copies." ”
However, it is not as difficult to promote comics as it was at the beginning, after all, An Xian's bookstore is still somewhat famous among readers in the capital, as long as there are novelty things coming out, it will be passed on to see a new one.
Li Mingyue heard that An Xian's comics came out, and couldn't wait to come to the library to see it, picked up a comic, sat on a chair in the library and looked at the book in her hand intently, laughing from time to time, even An Xian didn't hear her call her.
Although there are many pages of comics, it seems to be much faster than words, and Li Mingyue, who finished reading one after a while, is still unsatisfied: "An Xian, you are so amazing, I really wonder what you have in your head, how did you think of these new and strange things!" ”
"It's good if you look at it, I'm worried that people won't like it."
In less than half a day, the printing house sent hundreds of "advertisements."
Li Mingyue looked at the pile of identical comics in An Xian's hand and was curious: "What are you doing with so many identical comics?" ”
An Xian blinked, smiled and said: "You don't understand this, this is called propaganda, I will go to the street in a while, send this cartoon to the people on the street, they see the introduction above, they are curious, and they will naturally come!" ”
Li Mingyue really hasn't seen it: "Then I have to take a look." ”
I didn't expect An Xian's trick to be really effective, within two days, driven by curiosity, people came to the bookstore to buy comics, some were attracted by advertisements, and those who came to read it and then relayed it to others, this comic was unexpectedly popular in Beijing.
When Painter Wang saw that An Xian's "advertisement" really worked, he couldn't help but be amazed: "You are really not a simple woman, you can write books, you can also write comics, the first time you have lived such a long time to see a strange woman like you, I really admire." ”
An Xian smiled, as soon as this novelty appeared, people would definitely be curious, causing a boom in the market, and his own advertising did work, and in just two days, more than half of the comics were bought.
As more and more people read comics, more and more people know An Xian's name, and more people come to buy books, and the comics in An Xian's bookstore are out of stock.
Yusheng went to the printing house every day to urge books, and for a while, the bookstore's business reached its highest peak since the opening of the store.
Ahn Hyun saw that the form of manga was very popular with people, and he also had the motivation to continue creating.
Yusheng was worried: "Sister An Xian, what if there are other libraries to learn from you in the future?" ”
An Xian smiled and said: "Learn to learn, this thing is not only for me to use, others should learn to produce more comic books." ”
Li Mingyue on the side said with a smile: "I see, they can't learn if they want to, these jokes can only be thought of by An Xian, they can't draw even if they want to!" ”
Yu Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's the same!" ”
