【Introduction】

This is a pretty cool fictional novel...

Well, probably so.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter 1: Huiyou Wuye. The protagonist, Xu Yifan, a former civil servant, travels to the grasslands to visit a classmate when he is struck by lightning and transported back to the 18th year of the Guangxu reign. After two days of wandering the grasslands, he encounters Wang Wu, the Great Knife of the Huiyou Escort Agency. He learns about the era he lives in from Wang Wu, and inwardly curses the heavens.

Chapter 2: Are Lamas Easy to Bully? The escort agency worried the protagonist was a spy and told him to get some rest. The feeling of time travel was unpleasant, but there was no other solution. For safety reasons, he suggested to the escort agency that the convoy form a circle. After thinking about it, Wang Wu felt that there was some truth to it. Among them was a female escort, Erya, who was beautiful but a bit tall, which made her look unattractive. The protagonist, in a fit of arrogance, said he was willing to marry her, but was hit and had a nosebleed.

Chapter 3: Formation. Wang Wu came over to reprimand Arya, then listened carefully to the protagonist's suggestions, even asking him to personally direct the formation of a circle around the convoy, impregnable enough to withstand 500 bandits. Even the client's chief in-house clerk came to inquire about the situation and expressed his support for the protagonist's approach.

Chapter 4: Horse Thieves. Arya quietly approaches the protagonist to ask if his face hurts. Of course it does, but he can't lose his composure in front of a beautiful woman. He even feels a bit sorry for Arya, who isn't even allowed to talk to a man. As the night deepens, a large group of horse thieves arrives. The escorts panic, firing their rifles. The protagonist can't help but jump in and offer his own suggestions.

Chapter 5: Command. The battle was chaotic, and the escort agents lacked tactical skills. They couldn't even aim their guns at the enemy, and couldn't reload. However, they engaged in close combat, stopping many bandits. The protagonist dodged a round of attacks and moved to the inner circle. Seeing the excellent weapons of the men, he began barking out commands again. Following his commands, they worked surprisingly well. But experiencing this so soon after his journey made him want to vomit.

Chapter 6, Analysis. With over a hundred of the nearly a thousand bandits dead, they retreated temporarily. Dozens of them were also killed in the convoy, but were it not for the protagonist's measured command, they would have been wiped out long ago. Consequently, they now held the protagonist in high esteem. Even Big Knife Wang Wu and the owner of Dashengkui came to thank him and discuss a new solution. The protagonist's mind raced, coming up with a plan to divide these bandits, even at a significant cost. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

Chapter 7: Conditions. The protagonist follows Wang Wu to negotiate with the bandits. Hiding in the background, he hears Wang Wu's inability to resolve a problem and offers a warning. These bandits are united solely for money, and if they can get the money without losing anyone, they're even more willing. However, there's a slight disagreement over the price. Ultimately, the protagonist summons Wang Wu and the head shopkeeper to find out their bottom line.

Chapter 8, Negotiation. The protagonist volunteered to represent the caravan in negotiations with the bandits, trying to remain calm, not panic, and never show any fear. In front of these people, the protagonist pretended to be a lama, earning their admiration. However, his offer of only 50,000 was hardly enough for the bandits. Furthermore, he was recognized as a fake lama.

Chapter 9, Qilin on the Horse. The protagonist's negotiation skills are clearly effective, leaving the opposing military advisor on the verge of collapse. Unexpectedly, the well-connected leader, Du Qilin, intervenes, completely reversing the favorable situation the protagonist had previously created. He is pushed up the hillside by the bandits, shouting at the caravan for a 500,000 yuan bribe. But perhaps due to his unforgiving nature or a lack of wit, he shouts, "Hold on!"

Chapter 10, War of Words. Wang Wu and the others were so excited by the protagonist's words that they were about to rush to the rescue, but were persuaded by the shopkeeper of Dashengkui. He analyzed that the safer the convoy was, the safer the protagonist would be with the bandits. If the protagonist followed them, at least he wouldn't freeze to death. The protagonist even changed the negotiation terms, and many bandits from other places were tempted. Only Du Qilin still insisted. He hoped that the new terms would meet their needs, right?

【Brief Comment】

Angel Oscar, originally a well-known platinum writer, has now become a level 4 author.

The reason is that he later left Qidian and signed with iReader. Before, I thought that the author's level would not drop, but from his experience, it was proved that it would drop.

He currently has four works under his name on Qidian, namely "The Myth of Destiny", "Usurping the Qing Dynasty", "Returning in the Song Dynasty" and "Seven Stars", among which "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" has the best performance.

Qidian has 550,000 collections, Shucheng has 6694 collections, 900,000 followers, and three alliance leaders. This work was published in 2008, so it's quite old, so there aren't many alliance leaders. However, the collections and followers are very high, which shows that this book has been loved by readers since its release 12 years ago.

It even ranked seventh in the overall collection list of the historical category.

Actually, judging from the title alone, it's quite sensitive because novels from that period don't seem to be suitable for widespread promotion, especially now, when few people are writing them.

The style is also a bit niche. When I was very young, I read the book "Swallow Li San" and admired the martial artists of that era. The mention of Wang Wu, the Big Knife in Oscar's book immediately brought back memories. I just can't remember if the two are related.

Therefore, this is a work that has a strong sense of age, both in terms of the time of publication and the subject matter of the novel.

I don’t know if today’s young readers would be interested in clicking on it and taking a look.

But then again, these classic works are more interesting.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is one of the few works of Angel Oscar that was completed successfully.

The subject matter is related to the late Qing Dynasty, and the general direction seems to be accurate. At least there is no ability to cultivate immortals when traveling through time, grandfather's golden fingers, etc., which are likely to cause those wizards who are extremely disliked.

This book has a strong sense of time, giving it a "Crossing the Guandong" feel.

But he only has the first year as the protagonist. It depends on where he starts to take control of his own destiny.

The book is a good book. Time goes back to the past. The data in this book shows that the old developer has already asked him to verify it.

I have a lot to say about this book on quantitative research.

But let’s keep it simple.

Finally, I hope that when Oscar can no longer stay abroad, he can return to the starting point and feel the enthusiasm and sincerity here.
