Chapter 1049: Going to Britain to Capture Treasures

Lin Xiaoya snorted lightly and turned her head to look out the window. Her fair neck and side face formed a beautiful picture with the sky outside the window.

Lu Xin asked with a smile: "Where are you performing in the evening? I'll buy tickets to watch it."

Lin Xiaoya still looked out the window and snorted: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you what secret Wen Yali told you!"

"I can find out if you don't say it, just say it."

"I don't want you to see!" Lin Xiaoya suddenly had a pink color on her fair neck.

"Then you have to promise to have dinner with me. When will you have time this week? I remember that you like hot pot, so go to Haidilao."

“I don’t necessarily have time.”

Lu Xin smiled, Lin Xiaoya was the same back then, so she said, "From now on, I will call you every afternoon until I have time."

Lin Xiaoya didn't say anything. Lu Xin's mood suddenly improved.

After a while, Lin Xiaoya said resentfully: "My travel bag fell in the resort."

Lu Xin laughed silently: "Don't worry, Wen Yali and the others will help you get it back in a few days."

More than ten minutes later, the plane landed on the rooftop above the Wang Family Private Museum. Wang Haifeng said respectfully: "Dr. Lu, my father has something to discuss with me, I hope you can..."

"Okay!" Lu Xin got off first, and then carried her down despite Lin Xiaoya's opposition.

"You are wearing high heels, I'm afraid you sprain your ankle." Lu Xin's hand left Lin Xiaoya's thigh.

Lin Xiaoya squinted her eyes, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Let's go. I have something to do, so I can't keep watching you. Should you leave by yourself or stay here and wait for me to finish my work?" Lu Xin said, holding Lin Xiaoya's hand, walking into the elevator with Wang Haifeng, and when he arrived at the elevator, he let go of Lin Xiaoya's hand.

"I'll go by myself."

Lu Xin nodded and said nothing.

The elevator stopped. Lu Xin and Wang Haifeng walked out. Lu Xin looked back at Lin Xiaoya and said, "What's wrong with you? Remember to call me!"

Lin Xiaoya looked at Lu Xin quietly, as usual, neither happy nor sad. Her eyes reflected the clear sky, but there was only one person left under the huge sky.

Lu Xin smiled and waved goodbye.

When the elevator door was closed, Lin Xiaoya lowered her head and whispered to herself: "Lin Xiaoya. You missed him back then, but everything you have now is punishment! Don't think about it anymore, he already has a girlfriend. Damn it! Sand is in his eyes."

Lin Xiaoya rubbed her eyes gently, finally took a deep breath, raised her head high, like a proud white swan: "I am Lin Xiaoya!" This voice was softer than ever before.

Wang Haifeng took Lu Xin to Wang Gongquan's office. Wang Gongquan did not give any greetings, so he asked Wang Haifeng to close the door first, then took out a set of photos and handed it to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin looked it up and found that these photos were all cultural relics.

Wang Gongquan said with a serious face: "One day, two robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace. One robber robbed and the other robbed set fire. Judging from their behavior, the winner may also be robbers. An unprecedented looting of the Old Summer Palace began, and the two conquerors shared the spoils equally. It was a great achievement. God-given wealth! One of the two victors filled his pockets, and the other saw it. It filled his boxes. Then, they held hands and laughed back to Europe. This is the history of these two robbers. In front of history, one of the two robbers was called France and the other was called Britain. Sanjin, what you saw

These cultural relics are all the national treasures of our China that are hidden in the British Museum. The British Museum is the museum with the largest collection of cultural relics lost in China. Currently, it contains as many as 23,000 Chinese cultural relics, ancient stone tools, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, stone Buddhist scriptures from the Wei and Jin dynasties, calligraphy and paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties, porcelains of the Ming and Qing dynasties, etc., which are engraved with the pinnacle of various cultures in Chinese history, can be seen in the Huaxia Museum. Recently, that country has been releasing unfriendly remarks towards our China. It is very dissatisfied with this, and we should do something. Since you can get the national treasures that Japan plundered from China, you must also get our national treasures back from Britain."

Lu Xin did not refuse and went to England. One of the targets was Gu Kaizhi's "Advisor of the Female Historian" by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Gu Kaizhi's "Admonition of the Female Historian" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the earliest Chinese silk painting today. It is one of the works of the earliest professional Chinese painters who can still be seen. It has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese art. It has always been a treasure collected by the palaces of all dynasties. The authentic works have been lost. There are only two copies left in the world. One of them was copied by the Song Dynasty and collected by the Palace Museum. The brushwork is not of the best color. The other is a copy in the National Museum of the United Kingdom. It was originally collected by the Qing Palace.

It is a favorite thing on the desk of Emperor Qianlong and is hidden in the Old Summer Palace. In 1860, the British and French allied forces invaded, and British Captain Jiyong stole it from the Old Summer Palace and took it abroad. In 1903, he was collected by the British National Museum and became the most important oriental cultural relic in the museum. It is no exaggeration to call it "the treasure of the museum". The copy was stored in the Stein secret room in the museum, and there are only records in the registration book that two Japanese people copied on the spot in the 1920s.

Following the corridor of Exhibition Hall No. 33 of the British Museum, you will reach the end and be blocked by two closed iron doors. Behind is Stein's Secret Room.

Nastein was able to stump other thieves in the secret room, but not Lu Xin. He used his superpower to control gold and easily turned all security settings in the secret room into falsehoods. He felt like he was entering a no-man's realm and easily entered the secret room.

This hidden secret room is only more than 20 square meters, and it has constant temperature and humidity for many years.

In the secret room, Lu Xin not only saw the "Princess of the Female Historian", but also saw the precious Dunhuang collection.

Buddhism was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to painting on the stone walls of caves, painters in Dunhuang also painted their faith and devotion on plain silk. This tradition continued until the early Song Dynasty. When monks closed the sutra cave, these colorful and mature artistic treasures and documents, writing scriptures, etc. were placed together. In 1900, the King Taoist priest opened the cave and took out the items. When he bought the items to Stan, he might not be very satisfied with the price. When he took the silk paintings, he had a more careful look and specifically picked out the dilapidated Stan. There was about 500 pieces in total. The King Taoist priest did not know that dilapidated means they were older and more valuable. After Stein returned to England, these items were placed in the Stein secret room that existed because of them.

After this series of tossing and twists, the thousand-year silk paintings have become fragile. Since the 1950s, the British have begun to frame them one by one.

Lu Xin went back and forth in and out of the British Museum more than ten times in two days. Not only did he successfully transport all these collections, but he also took out a lot of British national treasures and successfully placed them on the flight back to China, successfully returning to China.

The British were used to being arrogant and not being wary of it. When Lu Xin successfully returned and Wang Gongquan’s private museum was successfully exhibited, they realized that the country was constantly fighting verbal battles between the countries, which was not something Lu Xin was concerned about.
