"What is this?" Gu Yuanzhen snatched the manuscript paper from Qin Yunchu's hand.

He Shiying's head also came up, and the two of them took the manuscript paper and read it together.

After watching for a while, both of their hands started to tremble.

"Judging from what I just read, this is the rejection letter for The Sentimental Swordsman's Ruthless Sword." Qin Yunchu said, "I don't need to look at the back to know that it must be the manuscript of The Sentimental Swordsman's Ruthless Sword."

Although Gu Yuanzhen was very reluctant, she was indeed right.

After turning the page, there were a few large characters written on the yellowed manuscript paper attached to the back with a black water-based pen:

"The Passionate Swordsman's Ruthless Sword"

ancient cage

He Shiying picked up the attached piece of paper and made a new discovery:

"Look, look! Look at this!"

On the manuscript paper in her hand, there is a paragraph written:

"Hello Jianghai Publishing House!

"I am a martial arts novel writer, and Gu Long is my pen name.

"Currently, this manuscript only contains a quarter of the overall content. I'm not very good at using pen and paper to create. I can only write so much because my hands are too tired.

"I have heard about your company for a long time, and I hope that after reading this manuscript, you can advance the royalties in advance, or you can pay more than 5,000 yuan in the name of a deposit.

"If possible, 10,000 is better.

"I am in urgent need of money right now. I would be very grateful if it would be convenient for me."

Under the entire paragraph, there are two words "古龙" written, as well as personal contact address and contact information.

"What kind of publishing house is Jianghai Publishing House? Why haven't I heard of it?" Gu Yuanzhen looked up and asked.

He Shiying said: "This publishing house is quite famous, right? It used to be the leader in the industry, but then it gradually declined. Now it only publishes some reference books, teaching aids and the like."

Gu Yuanzhen looked at this passage again and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Look, he talks as if Jianghai Publishing House is sure to get his book. He has even thought about paying a deposit in advance. It's so crazy."

Qin Yunchu rolled up his temples: "Judging from the popularity of "The Sentimental Swordsman", he does have the qualifications to be crazy."

"However, his manuscript was rejected." Gu Yuanzhen couldn't help laughing, "If you tell me about this, it will definitely be on the hot search, 'The ancient cage has a dark history. Confidently submitted the manuscript but was rejected, and was ruthlessly criticized. ',Ha ha ha ha……"

He Shiying glared at him and said, "I don't know whose dark history it is! Isn't it because the publishing house is blind?"

"Indeed." Qin Yunchu took the manuscript and said, "Later, when I changed publishers, this book became an instant hit and set off a ten-year martial arts craze. If Jianghai Publishing House had accepted this book, it would not be the same now. It will be so bad that we can only issue teaching aids."

Gu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily.

Although I don't want to face it, I have discovered key evidence. No matter how I try to escape, I can't escape it.

"Isn't this... a real deal?"

Everyone stood there for a moment.

Not far away, Xiao Yingying, who was quietly reading a picture book, suddenly closed the number, picked up the book, stepped on the wooden floor with her little feet, and ran to the bookcase with a "dong dong dong".

She stood on tiptoes and put the picture book back where it belonged. Then she took out a new picture book, held it in her arms, and ran back to where she was lying just now, like a lamb on the prairie, nestling back into a warm grass nest. , and sighed contentedly.

Liu Ruyan turned around and picked up little Yingying and said, "Don't read all the time, it will hurt your eyes. Go out and bask in the sun more."

After sending Xiao Yingying out, Liu Ruyan came back and closed the door.

She was also very curious about Chen Ya's true identity.

When this manuscript is exposed, it is basically equivalent to saying that Chen Ya is the ancient cage.

Qin Yunchu, He Shiying and others looked at each other in confusion.

"No, no, this is unreasonable." Gu Yuanzhen said firmly, "This is not considered a real deal."

He Shiying looked at him with some surprise: "Isn't this considered a real deal?"

"Whoever took out the manuscript before was still suspected of being a ghostwriter?" Gu Yuanzhen said, "The manuscript can't mean anything because it can be forged. It must be personally acknowledged by the relevant person before it can be fully confirmed."

There is a reason why he can't accept it.

After all, no one would be able to accept that a 13-year-old child wrote "The Passionate Swordsman".

The most important thing is that he has not only written "The Passionate Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword"!

If Gu Long is really Chen Ya, it means that he wrote "The Passionate Swordsman", "Peerless Two Prides", "A History of Martial Arts", "The Legend of the Banner Hero" and "Huanhua Swordsmanship" at the age of 13.

At the age of 14, he wrote "Happy Heroes", "Meteor·Butterfly·Sword", "Tianya·Mingyue·Sword", "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Xiao Shiyilang".

At the age of 15, he wrote "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Big Shot", "White Jade Tiger", "Seven Weapons" and "Border Town Prodigal Son".

At the age of 16, he wrote "Seven Swordsmen from the Tianshan Mountains", "Four Famous Catchers", "Quest for Qin" and "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

Let alone a child in his teens, even an adult can be called a living god if he can produce such a high output!

Qin Yunchu said: "I have someone I know in the publishing industry. If I ask her, I might be able to find some clues."

Gu Yuanzhen asked: "Who?"

"Xiao Qing." Qin Yunchu said.

"Xiao Qing?!" He Shiying suddenly shouted loudly, "Do you still know Xiao Qing?"

"Um."

There's a reason why she's so excited.

Xiao Qing, a well-known "beautiful girl writer" in China, is best at writing romance novels and can be called a "romantic goddess".

Many of her novels have been adapted into movies and TV series, and she is considered a well-known writer to the Chinese people.

Of course, when I was called a "beautiful girl writer", that was ten years ago.

Now, this "beautiful girl" is 35 years old and is already considered a "beautiful young woman".

She is currently settled in Jiangcheng, living a carefree life with no worries about food and clothing, and rarely writes books anymore.

Qin Yunchu dialed the phone and said somewhat uneasily: "Hello?"

"Hey Yunchu, why do you have time to call me?"

"Sister Xiao, sorry to bother you," Qin Yunchu said politely, "I have a question to ask you."

"Ask, I'm the one who brought you up for fun, so let's not be so polite."

Qin Yunchu relaxed a little and said, "Do you know Guci Publishing House?"

"You know, many of my books are published by Guci Publishing House."

Qin Yunchu was overjoyed and said, "Then do you know Xi Wendian?"

A voice came from the other side: "Hey, Lao Xi, he was my editor back then, and now I heard he's the editor-in-chief. As soon as you told me, I remembered him, and it was time to call and ask about his current situation."

Qin Yunchu clenched his little fists tighter and said, "Then do you know the ancient cage?"

The voice on the other end paused for a moment, and then said, "I know him. I met him once. He and I were both writers responsible for Xi Wendian back then."

Qin Yunchu looked at He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen excitedly.

They were holding back no sound, but they were waving their hands in the air.

Finding out the true identity of the ancient cage is only one step away!

Qin Yunchu asked: "Well, um, Gu Long, isn't he very young?"

Xiao Qing's voice suddenly calmed down: "Why are you asking him?"

Qin Yunchu whispered: "I just found the manuscript of Gu Long, and I suspect that one of my current employees is Gu Long himself..."

Xiao Qing immediately said: "Where are you?"

"In Jiangcheng..."

"I know you are in Jiangcheng. Where are you in Jiangcheng?"

"At a friend's house, Nanwangqiao East Road..."
