"Of course you heard it right, Mr. Qian, Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Zhentu" Tang Dynasty facsimile does belong to me, and now the reason why I came to the China Pavilion is to appreciate this important treasure of the country.

In two or three days at most, I will take this national treasure and other Chinese antiques and artworks that have been exchanged and fly directly to Beijing on an Air China chartered flight and transport them all back to China.

Before tomorrow's joint press conference, I would like to ask you to keep this news confidential and not to leak this news, although it is irrelevant, but more is better than less."

Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, his pride was beyond words.

Before his words fell, Qian Lao was already excitedly grabbing his arm and said:

"Great! You kid did a really great job, this is a real national treasure, let this priceless treasure return to China, that is the dream of many Chinese, I didn't expect you to make this kid come true."

There is no doubt that once Gu Kaizhi's copy of the Tang Dynasty copy of "The Female Historian" returns to China, it will cause a huge sensation, and it will definitely be the most important return of Chinese antique art in recent decades.

Let's say that once this national treasure returns to China, it must be lent to us for a few days in the Shanghai Museum for public exhibition, and we can also appreciate and study it, and the conditions for borrowing the exhibition are as you like."

Ye Tian looked at the old man, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"I'm afraid it's no fun, Qian Lao, you also know that this is a national treasure with a history of more than 1,000 years, and it is a silk painting, which has long been fragile, and it is most taboo to move frequently, and every move is accompanied by huge risks.

The reason why I didn't take this priceless treasure immediately after striking a deal with the British Museum was because of this concern, so I had to store it in the museum for the time being, and take it with me when I left London and returned to Beijing.

How to bring this priceless treasure back safe and sound was also a headache for me, and finally I decided to personally escort this priceless treasure back to China, even if I held it with both hands, I must not let it suffer any damage.

After returning to Beijing, this national treasure will be displayed in my personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City, and I will improve the best display and preservation conditions for this priceless treasure, and the Forbidden City will fully cooperate.

As long as this priceless treasure returns to China, even if it belongs to me and is displayed in my personal exhibition hall, if I want to move it, I am afraid that it is not a matter for me to decide alone, and it is likely that the Ministry of Culture will need the nod.

It is simply impossible for you to borrow an exhibition from the Shanghai Museum, and not only you, but also any museum outside Beijing will borrow an exhibition, and it is impossible for me or the Ministry of Culture to agree to it.

Although I cannot agree to your request for a loan, you can come to Beijing at any time to admire and study this important treasure, and you will never have to travel all the way to London to see it, let alone ask the British."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qian Lao suddenly fell silent and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded excitedly and said:

"You're right, Ye Tian, such a national treasure with a history of more than 1,000 years really can't be moved frequently, it is very likely to cause irreparable huge losses, I am reckless.

When this important treasure of the country returns to China, I will definitely rush to the Forbidden City to appreciate it as soon as possible, and I must appreciate it well, so that it will be enjoyable, and I will no longer be affected by this kind of scumbag of the British."

Next, Mr. Qian introduced several other old men, all of whom are well-known top calligraphy and painting experts in China, from different museums or other cultural and museum institutions.

In fact, Ye Tian, a well-known expert in calligraphy and painting, knew most of them, but they had never met.

After shaking hands with these people one by one and saying hello, Ye Tian said to them with a smile:

"You can endure for a few more days, and wait for Gu Kaizhi's "The Female History of Zhentu" Tang Dynasty facsimile to be safely transported back to China, and then you will go to the Forbidden City in Beijing to appreciate this priceless treasure and have a good time.

The Stein Chamber is home to a wealth of priceless Chinese antiques, which are normally not allowed to outsiders, and this is the British Museum, so I can't call the shots.

So I'm not going to boast about Haikou and invite you all into the Stein Secret Room, but you can go to the China Pavilion and look around, and when I'm done here, I'll invite you all to have dinner together."

"Understood, then let's go elsewhere first, wait for you kid to finish, to be honest, we really want to hear your stories of exploring treasures, it must be very exciting"

Qian Lao smiled and nodded and said, the regretful look just now had been swept away, and his mood became extremely happy.

As soon as his words fell, another famous calligraphy and painting appraisal expert from Nanjing whispered:

"Ye Tian, can you reveal that in addition to Gu Kaizhi's Tang Dynasty facsimile, you also traded those top Chinese antique artworks?

Ye Tian looked at the old man, and then whispered triumphantly:

"Stand firm, I have also taken down more than 18,000 scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Cave, including half of the Dunhuang Scriptures in the British Museum, and all of the Dunhuang Scriptures in the British Library.

In addition, there are the 45 volumes of the Yongle Canon in the British Library, the earliest version of the Paramita Sutra, the famous pair of Yuan blue and white standard 'Da Weide vases', and the azure glazed bowls from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition to these, there are other priceless and top-notch Chinese antique artworks, such as the "Green Landscape" by Li Sixun, the ancestor of the 'Northern Sect' and the famous painter of the Tang Dynasty, and the "Lush Forest and Mountains" by Juran of the Five Dynasties.

Okay, let's talk about it first, wait for dinner in the evening, I'll give you a detailed introduction, you all have to be prepared, it's best to bring a quick-acting heart pill, so as not to have an accident, let's see you later, I'll go first."

After speaking, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the door of Stein's secret room, and soon joined Prince William and David.

Looking at the old men of Qian Lao again, they were completely stupid, and they were stunned one by one, their eyes full of incredulity and madness.

"More than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures have been brought back by this kid Ye Tian, how is this possible? I'm not dreaming, right? Such a good thing, I don't even dare to dream about it!"

Qian Lao muttered to himself, looking dejected.

The rest of the old men were not in a better situation, and they all trembled with excitement, and they couldn't stand steadily.

It wasn't until Ye Tian and his party walked into Stein's secret room that Qian Lao and the others came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, these old men excitedly launched a sigh of emotion.

"Ye Tian's methods are really powerful, they are unheard of, and he co-authored the British Museum and the British Library to ransack them all over the place, it is too ruthless, but it is also extremely exciting!"

"Who says it's not, Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas" Tang Dynasty facsimile and more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures If they can return to China safely, it will definitely cause a ten-level strong earthquake, and at that time, I will be willing to lead this kid to a horse and fall into the stirrups."

After a few words of emotion, the old men turned around and left the door of Stein's secret room to visit the other antique artworks displayed in the China Pavilion.

When they left here, each of them walked unusually briskly, as if they had suddenly become dozens of years younger, and their youth had returned to them.

At this time, in Stein's secret room, the lighting was extremely dim, and the lighting conditions were extremely poor, which was very different from the lighting conditions in the exhibition hall outside.

Of course, this kind of lighting condition is deliberate, and it is not that the British Museum cannot afford to pay for electricity, which is why it is made like this.

This is to protect some of the older antique artworks, and try to prevent light, so as not to cause irreparable major losses such as fading.

After entering the secret room, Ye Tian and the others first stood near the door for a while, and then after getting used to the light conditions in the secret room, they walked towards the special display case where the "Female Historian" was placed under the leadership of Fisher.

In order to protect this priceless treasure, the British Museum has created a special set of bulletproof glass display cases, and then placed the Female Historian flat in it to protect it.

This bulletproof glass display case not only has a constant temperature and humidity inside, but also has a blackout curtain on it, which completely covers the priceless treasure displayed in the display case.

Only once or twice a year when it is publicly exhibited will the outside curtain be lifted, and the "Female Historian" in the display case will be displayed in front of people's eyes.

Almost all the rest of the time, the blackout curtain is pulled to protect that priceless piece and extend its life as long as possible.

Today, of course, is an exception.

This special set of display cases where the "Female Historian" is displayed is in the middle of Stein's secret room, and there is also a distance from the door of the secret room to this set of display cases.

On the way, Ye Tian and the others were not idle, they were all looking at this famous secret room.

As Ye Tian said, the Stein Chamber is home to a wealth of priceless and top-quality Chinese antiques.

Some of these antique Chinese artworks are displayed in bulletproof glass display cases, some on display shelves, some in boxes, and some directly on the wall.

Although the lights in the secret room were dim, in Ye Tian's eyes, it was no different from the exhibition hall outside, even those display cabinets that covered the curtains, or wooden boxes of different sizes, could not block his vision.

In his eyes, these top antique artworks from China all radiate colorful light and have layers of charming halos, which are intoxicating.

Looking at these priceless Chinese antique artworks from perspective, Ye Tian suddenly felt that he was still too soft-hearted, and he was still not ruthless enough to slaughter the British!

Next time, if you have the chance, you must loot this place, take all the Chinese antique art into your own pocket, and leave not a single one for the British!

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had come to the special display case that displayed the "Female History Atlas".

After everyone stood in front of the display case and made sure that the light inside the secret room was suitable, Fisher immediately instructed the museum staff to open the black blackout curtain that was covered by bulletproof glass display cases.

Afterwards, two museum staff members carefully opened the blackout curtain.

With their movements, the priceless treasure in the display case, which had been lost overseas for more than a hundred years and made all Chinese dream, finally appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes.

Even Ye Tian, who had been tested for a long time and had seen and handled a large number of top-level antique artworks, was extremely excited at this time, and his heartbeat rate was even much faster than usual.
