"In my impression, "The Legend of Jianghu" was later adapted into a film and television drama starring Zheng Shaoqiu. I seemed to have watched it when I was a child."
"But what does this have to do with Yuan Pingxu?" Bao Guowei then thought about it, "Is it possible that Marshal Yuan, who leads a hundred armies, is also a martial arts fan?"
"The Legend of Jianghu" is regarded as the pioneer work of modern martial arts novels. The author is Pingjiang Buxiaosheng, which has a profound influence on later generations of martial arts creators.
For example, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and other later generations of martial arts were more or less inspired by him.
According to Bao Guowei's memory, Pingjiang Buxiaosheng's martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of Jianghu" had a huge impact as soon as it came out.
And later in 1928, this book was even adapted into the movie "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple"
In this era where even black and white movies are not very popular, Pingjiang Buxiaosheng has already sold the film and television rights!
In the book, from stick boxing to calling the wind and rain, swallowing and flying swords, all kinds of fantasy are diverse, very rich and fascinating.
So much so that the sales of newspapers and periodicals that serialized this work skyrocketed, to the point where it was hard to get even a single copy.
It seems that these four people are loyal fans of "The Legend of Jianghu".
Bao Guowei had a hunch that this might be an opportunity.
"Brothers, I just saw that your place is so busy. Is it because of this 'The Legend of Jianghu'?"
When they heard the sound, they subconsciously felt impatient, but turned their heads to take a look.
Bao Guowei is wearing a suit and leather shoes. He is polite and polite. Anyone with a bit of discernment will definitely guess which social celebrity he is.
"Brother, could it be that you also like this 'The Legend of Jianghu'?"
Bao Guowei nodded, "Yes! I happen to be a loyal fan of this book too!"
"Okay! As the saying goes, good friends are hard to find in high mountains and flowing water!" The young man wearing glasses took out a copy of "Jingkou Evening News" and handed it to Bao Guowei.
"Come on! Take a look. You must not have seen it. Look at the date on it. This is the latest version!"
Bao Guowei took the newspaper and looked at it, and all he saw on the front page was the serialization of "The Legend of Jianghu".
The contents of Chapter 51 and Chapter 52 are serialized on it, occupying the entire page.
Bao Guowei recited the chapter name on the newspaper in a low voice, and nodded, "Yes! The quality of this paper is really good, but I don't know where did you get it?"
It's fine if you don't ask, but once you ask, the person becomes interested and finally gets a chance to show off.
"I asked the staff of Governor Yuan Ping and Xu Yuan's Mansion to get this. It's not easy! Thanks to that person's close friendship with me, otherwise why would we be able to see this rare object in Jingkou while we are in Wusu."
As soon as this statement came out, others were amazed and praised him for his wide connections and ability.
"May I ask who the Governor Yuan Pingxu is?"
Everyone was stunned, "Are you afraid that you are a foreigner? Even Marshal Yuan Pingxu doesn't know about it."
Bao Guowei is naturally not a foreigner.
During this period, those who could be called governors were the leaders of military forces in various places.
However, there are so many small and large armies everywhere, and there are only a few people who can be called by name.
Many small armies can be called armies with only a few hundred men and a few guns. In fact, some of them are no different from bandits, but they rely on higher-level troops.
In this era, everything about money or not is bullshit. Having guns and soldiers is the way to go.
As the former governor was the local commander, how could Bao Guowei not know?
But he knows the way of people's hearts well. If you ask such a sincere question, he will definitely say a few more words to you for the sake of face. At this time, the routine will be easy.
"I'm really new here, so I don't know about it. Please tell me a little bit, so that I can gain some insights."
"Okay, seeing that you are so polite, I will tell you..."
From the descriptions of this group of people, Bao Guowei also learned more about Yuan Pingxu.
In his early years, Yuan Pingxu made his fortune in the south and had little education.
But he was very loyal, so he won the hearts of many people, and many fellow countrymen gathered in the south to rise up.
Later, he was recruited by Pang Jingtian, who was prosperous in the southeast region, and became Pang Jingtian's subordinate.
It seemed that he was recruited by Pang Jingtian, but Commander Pingxu had nothing to do with Commander Pang.
He always felt that he was relying on others, and he had long wanted to resist, but he didn't have the strength yet.
In short, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Now Pang Jingtian is already too busy in his hometown. How can he care about his little Wu Sucheng?
So in this city, he can be regarded as half a native emperor.
Although Yuan Pingxu did not leave any name in history, but now in Wusu City, with guns and people in hand, he is a powerful being.
After all, no matter what kind of person you are, you still have to weigh the gun in someone else's hand first!
Although Yuan Pingxu didn't read much, he was full of gangster and libertine spirit.
Therefore, he yearns for the heroic spirit of martial arts and the vastness of the world, especially the magic and martial arts such as strange powers and chaos.
By chance, he read Ping Jiang Buxiaosheng's "The Legend of Jianghu" and became an absolute diehard fan.
Every month Yuan Pingxu sent someone from Jingkou to get the "Jingkou Evening News" which serialized "The Legend of Jianghu".
Every time I get the newspaper, I enjoy reading it all at once, but I feel itchy when I catch up on updates.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reach the entrance of the capital, he might have directly kidnapped Pingjiang Buxiaosheng.
Just throw him into a small dark room and tell him not to come out until he finishes writing. He will not be given food.
army? ! Have guns and soldiers? ! Martial arts novel? !
After hearing this, Bao Guowei was very surprised and said bluntly: "What a great opportunity!"
Everyone around was confused and asked: "Brother, why do you say this?"
Bao Guowei waved his hand. He already had a rough idea in mind on how to attack Yuan Pingxu, so how could he let them know about it.
Whether it's Monica or Royce, in the final analysis, foreign businessmen like this are not here at all. The people they fear most are local snakes with guns.
Royce, although his family has a big business and he has countless money in his hands, even if he is a sea dragon, he is still afraid of local snakes!
What's more, he has just set foot in China, and it can be said that he has no power to rely on here.
Otherwise, he would not ask Monica for the contracting rights of the dock as a basis for a foothold.
If he could climb onto the high branch of Yuan Pingxu, then Bao Guowei would feel a little more confident.
"Yuan Pingxu..." Bao Guowei muttered to himself.
Now that the opportunity had arisen, he had an idea in mind.
Yuan Pingxu likes to read martial arts novels, so I will give him a chance to come to BoU and write a novel for him.
But instead of writing, it’s “copying”!
This "copying" is not the other, this "copying" is an essential strategic quality for all reborn time travellers!
Now Bao Guowei also wants to be a "copying man", but what he "copied" is not a martial arts novel, but a fantasy novel "Fights Break the Sphere"!
