"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is Mr. Jin Yong's penultimate martial arts novel. It is known as the "Three Strange Peaks" of Jin Yong's martial arts, along with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". The critics believe that this book has reached a state of perfection and superb state in terms of narratives...23

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" lays out a magnificent and epic martial arts background, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" presents a vast and magnificent and turbulent martial arts scene, while "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" vividly depicts a tortuous and melodious martial arts life picture.

At the same time, "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" also presents the core of the sentence "I want to understand the essence of a person and give him rights" to readers in a thorough manner. This is also the reason why the author did not define the specific historical background for this book, "Because the same thing can happen in any dynasty."

After the controversy over "The Deer and the Cauldron" ended, the character Wei Xiaobao gradually became recognized and accepted by everyone. Moreover, it is generally believed that including Wei Xiaobao, the character gallery of the protagonist of the martial arts novel finally added the last piece of the puzzle, which was finally complete.

Guo Juxia with perfect personality, the fierce Condor Heroes, the gentle and mean Young Master Zhang, the three good young people who help others, the gentle and moderate, the elegant Chen Jialuo, the cute and slightly boring Yuan Chengzhi, the innocent Shi Potian...

If you insist on a classification, Guo Jing is unparalleled and righteous, and he deserves to be a representative of Confucianism; Yang Guojin can enter the world and become a hero, and retreat can escape from the world and become a hermit, which is Taoism; Shi Po Tian has no action, no attachment, no action, no wish, belongs to Buddhism; Hu Fei helps the poor and poor, and sees injustice on the road. Drawing swords to help with the Mohist school, which belongs to the Mohist school; Wei Xiaobao is naturally a traitor.

However, this type of martial arts novels almost cover all kinds of characters. In addition, the characters such as Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, and Xiao Shiyilang are taking different strategies. It is becoming increasingly difficult for martial arts novels to create new characters. After clarifying these ideas, I read Gu Yongsheng's statement that the final work of the pen suddenly became clear. Now everyone is most curious about what Gu Yongsheng will write in the last martial arts and what kind of character will he create.

"Isn't it really a villain to be the protagonist, like the Blood Knife Ancestor?"

Chang Youdao speculated based on the four words "Swordsman" in the book, thinking that Gu Yongsheng was going to write a cruel and ruthless martial arts overlord character.

"If it is already defined as a villain, how can it still be the protagonist? No matter what, martial arts novels must always abide by the principle of evil and not defeating justice."

"Oh, I want to talk about the evil man. The protagonist is a pure evil man."

"Every novel will create evil people. It would be too deliberate to take it out as the protagonist alone. I know what Lao Chang meant. This is the protagonist of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer". It is between Yang Guo and Wei Xiaobao. To put it more in detail, it is more casual and freer than Yang Guo, and more decent and more elegant than Wei Xiaobao."

"I understand! I thought you wanted to write a heroic character who dominates the world."

"Well, the idea is right. The theme of the new book is to revolve around this point."

"ah?"

Qingjiao continued: "Which dynasty is that? Historical background..."

"There is no exact background. I can't explain it clearly for a while, and you will understand after you finish writing it. Uh... I'm wondering, should this book be serialized?"

Everyone: "I want it!"

It is one aspect to want to read the whole book, but ensuring the sales of magazines is always the focus they never dare to forget.

...

The official serialization of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in May, Lin Pingzhi was undoubtedly misunderstood as the male lead again.

However, for "Jianglu", the most important thing in May is not the beginning of the serialization of Gu Yongsheng's "last martial arts" but the deputy editor-in-chief Wang Jianshan became a father, Qingjiao became pregnant and Kang Lingyue resigned.

It seems that a certain theorem, many important things often choose to explode intensively and continuously in similar time periods.

"I know it's impossible to find such a satisfactory, warm and beautiful job in the future, but life always requires more attempts."

When Kang Lingyue said goodbye to everyone with tears in her eyes, Green Pepper, Su Jin and Yang Lilu were all crying and the pear blossoms were raining. Several boys kept shook their heads and sighing. Liu Jingting sat sideways, listening quietly, smiling on his face, expressing his full understanding.

Xu Qing sat on the windowsill and looked outside without saying a word.

"Do you have any plans?" Su Jin asked.

"Of course I went to travel first. I saved a lot of money in this rich company." Kang Lingyue forced himself to relieve her temper: "I'll talk about other things when I come back."

Green Pepper said: "Then you can take a long vacation."

Kang Lingyue shook her head.

Liu Jingting then continued: "Do you want to go back to Wanxiang?"

Kang Lingyue turned her head to look at Liu Jingting, her eyes flashed with a complex and unexplained look, and nodded and said, "It's possible, after all, I'll take over my father's work in the future."

"Then you have to take the PhD exam first."

"Well, that's what I planned."

“It’s great to be a female doctor.”

"yes."

"You can come back to play the guest editor anytime when you have time."

"Um."

Liu Jingting stood up and said, "So don't have to be sad anymore. It's a good thing. We will have a female doctoral friend in the future."

The atmosphere eased a little, and Chang Youdao wanted to speak but stopped. Liu Jingting looked at him and said, "Don't hurry up on the recruitment matter. I thought about it carefully. Now that Shankan has a child and Qingjiao is pregnant, you should prepare to get married. Ling Yue has resigned. Should the magazine be closed for one year?"

"No!" Everyone, including Kang Lingyue, answered in unison.

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I don't think it's necessary either."

Everyone was sweating coldly.

"Na Misu continues to post the recruitment notice. This time, we will recruit five, two with work experience, one fresh graduate and two interns."

"OK."

"Tonight, please invite everyone to North City for dinner and see Ling Yue off."

Xu Qing jumped out of the windowsill and said, "Why do you have to go to Beicheng? Do it yourself."

"Agree with Aunt Qing." Kang Lingyue said.

"Agree with Aunt Qing to add one."

“Add 2.”

Liu Jingting glanced at everyone, nodded and said, "Yes. But I agreed in advance. Tonight, everyone else will not be drunk and will not return if they are not drunk."

Xiao Qingyu hurriedly said, "I want to take care of me..." Qingjiao glared at him.

"Okay, I won't go home if I'm drunk!" Xiao Qingyu changed his words.

In order to prepare a sumptuous dinner, everyone started to act from five o'clock in the afternoon, girls bought vegetables and boys bought wine; girls took the spoon, and boys washed rice and washed vegetables.

We were busy for more than two hours until after seven o'clock, but tonight we really let go of our arms and each of us was in a decisive battle until dawn. Liu Jingting was the wine commander, and wherever we poured it, it was a heroic "full" sentence.

Girls like Su Jin, Kang Lingyue, and Yang Lilu who usually look delicate and gentle suddenly wave their hands. They make you pour wine for them with a "Liangshan Heroes" and are still very impressive.

The wine is intoxicating, and the atmosphere is more intoxicating than the wine.

Liu Jingting sat there with a smile, watching everyone toasting each other and fighting for wine. His consciousness gradually became blurred. He felt that what everyone said was just erratic in his ears, probably all of which were heart-wrenching words and deep sisterly love.

Then, I seemed to hear Aunt Qing say something, "I was going to leave and do something else, but I was taken first by Ling Yue."

Liu Jingting slapped the table and continued loudly: "There is still a chance."

Then the others followed Xu Qing and said "there is still a chance".

Then, when Liu Jingting saw Kang Lingyue, Su Jin leaned on the table to sleep one after another. Yang Lilu stood up and lay on his shoulder, and kept smiling and said, "Brother Ting carried me to sleep..."

Xu Qing pointed to Liu Jingting and said with her tongue wide, "Liu Jingting, haven't you heard Lulu telling you to carry her to sleep? I warn you not to bully her. Otherwise, I will never forgive you, have you heard?"

...

The next morning, when Liu Jingting woke up, he found that he was actually lying on Aunt Qing's bed. However, Aunt Qing was not in this room. Liu Jingting rubbed his dizzy and painful head after the hangover, and then felt that his mouth was dry and about to catch fire.

Liu Jingting picked up his coat and pants from the floor and put them on, then got out of bed and went to the kitchen to drink water. When he arrived in the living room, he saw Aunt Qing and Su Jin lying on the sofa, Chang Youdao sleeping on the floor next to the dining table. He frowned and recalled, and always felt something was wrong. I remember that he should have been with Lulu last night, as if... was it a dream? Liu Jingting exhaled and shook his head.

When I walked to the kitchen, I saw green peppers cooking porridge.

"Great green pepper."

Green Jiao turned around and replied, "It's so early, boss."

“This was Misu’s job before.”

"Yes, so the taste may not be very good this time. Why don't you try it first, boss?"

"no problem."

After Liu Jingting finished drinking a bowl of porridge, everyone woke up one after another and ran to the kitchen to look for water.

"Liu Jingting Where did you go last night?" Yang Lilu asked Liu Jingting after entering the kitchen.

"In Aunt Qing's room."

"ah?"

Xu Qing turned her head and asked, "What are you doing when you run to my room?"

"I don't know, I'm thinking too, but I can't remember it at all, Green Pepper?"

Everyone focused their attention on the only awake green pepper last night.

Qingjiao shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on. Last night, I clearly saw the boss returning to the room with Lulu on his back."

"Oh? Then what?"

"Then I helped Aunt Qing, Mi Su and Ling Yue to the sofa. Lao Wang was the room he returned to, Lao Chang's words..."

Chang Youdao nodded clearly and said, "You can't help me."

Qingjiao smiled and nodded, saying, "In the end, I... went back to the room."

Although Qingjiao and Xiao Qingyu were already slap, she still couldn't say anything like "Xiao Qingyu and I went back to the room" in front of everyone.

"I didn't see Ling Yue in the living room when I woke up in the morning." Su Jin said, rubbing her temples.

Kang Lingyue smiled and said, "I went back to my room in a daze in the middle of the night."

Liu Jingting said: "I would have known that Qingjiao would have taken the scene from last night with a DVD machine. Maybe it would be possible to make a post-production and also make a Chinese version of "Hangover".
