Ye Tian put on a pair of white gloves, gently opened the brown portable safe on the conference table in front of him, and then carefully took out the yellowed picture scroll placed in it.

He then placed the scroll on a conference table that had been dried and covered with a white cloth, and slowly unfolded it with the help of Betty, who was also wearing white gloves.

In the process, his movements were extremely gentle, and he did not even dare to breathe, and he treated the painting in his hand as cautiously as he did with his own eyeballs.

With his actions, "White Picture of the Night", a famous painting with a long history of more than 1,000 years, lost overseas for more than 100 years, and missed by countless Chinese, finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Although this place is still in the United States and the Metropolitan Museum, the owner of this priceless famous painting is no longer the Metropolitan Museum, nor is it any other foreign devil.

After more than a hundred years of exile, just today, it has returned to the hands of the Chinese and has become Ye Tian's bag.

The yellowed picture scroll slowly unfolded, and the first thing that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was not the famous painting of "Illuminating the Night White Picture", but a calligraphy of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, that is, the Bawen, which was sprinkled with joy and skill.

This essay was followed by several more verses.

The font size and calligraphy of these inscriptions vary, but all of them were written by famous artists, and each inscription is a masterpiece of Chinese calligraphy, and each inscription is famous.

In addition, at the end of several texts, and even in every blank space, they are stamped with large and small red seals, which are very dense and have different styles.

Every name on those seals has a great weight in the history of China, in the history of Chinese culture and art.

After a few essays, the famous painting "White Picture of the Night" finally revealed its true face.

When this famous painting of the ages was fully presented, the movements in Ye Tian's hand immediately stopped, and he did not continue to unfold the follow-up painting, but admired it with fascination.

This famous painting is very small, no more than 33.5 centimeters long and 30.8 centimeters high, and the picture is yellowed, looks extremely old, and is very fragile.

But fortunately, although the painting has survived more than a thousand years of ups and downs, it is quite well preserved, with very little damage, and the yellowing of the picture is only due to natural aging.

This ancient painting is painted with ink lines, and slightly to the right, the famous Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan depicts the image of a horse.

The steed in the painting, tethered to a stake, seems to be unwilling to be restrained, its eyes are wide in anger, and it is neighing with its head held high, trying to break free from the reins that hold it.

Its flowing mane, erected ears, and raised front hooves convey the horse's unruly demeanor and enhance the tension and drama of the picture!

Unlike the flowing mane around the neck, the horse's tail is missing, and it looks a little abrupt and weird.

In addition to the main image on the picture, this famous painting is also covered with inscriptions of different lengths and stamped with seals, and almost every blank space is used.

The authors of the inscriptions and the owners of the seals are all famous emperors, generals, literati and writers in ancient Chinese history, revealing the orderly history of this famous painting.

Looking at this ancient famous painting and national treasure-level art treasure, Ye Tian was unconsciously immersed in it, and his eyes were full of obsession.

However, David and Jason, who were standing next to them, could not understand this famous painting through the ages, let alone the dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the paintings.

"Steven, tell us about this famous painting, lest we be confused, and where is its preciousness?"

David said suddenly, his eyes full of curiosity.

As soon as his words fell, the kid Jason said again:

"That's right, Steven, let's explain this painting to you, we can still appreciate Western paintings and artworks, and Chinese paintings that win with artistic conception, we really can't appreciate them.

Since you attach so much importance to this "White Picture in the Night", then you don't need to ask, this painting must be priceless, but I still want to ask, how much would you value this famous painting for the ages?"

Not only the two of them, but many people at the scene wanted to know where the preciousness of this painting was and how valuable it was, everyone looked at Ye Tian, and everyone was full of expectations.

Ye Tian, who came to his senses, turned his head to look at David and Jason, glanced at everyone at the scene again, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Since everyone is so interested, then I will introduce you to this famous painting, first of all, one of the issues that everyone is most concerned about is the valuation of this famous painting.

Here, I can tell you with great certainty that this is a priceless treasure, and it is impossible to give an accurate valuation at all, just like the "Female Historian Atlas" that was traded before!

Of course, this is for the Chinese, for those who know Chinese history and art, in the eyes of others, they may not appreciate this art and do not recognize its value."

"Wow! priceless treasure, that's an exaggeration!"

"Another priceless treasure, no wonder Steven named this famous painting for the ages, a posture of ambition!"

There was an exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words.

Thomas, who was also at the scene, and the others at the Metropolitan Museum, heard Ye Tian's words, and suddenly felt even more painful and regretful, but it was a pity that they didn't sell regret medicine!

When the voice at the scene fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately continued:

After talking about the valuation of this famous painting, let's introduce the famous ancient Chinese painter who created this top artwork, Han Gan, and the famous painting itself.

Han Gan, who lived in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, was a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty, especially famous for painting horses.

In addition to this painting, several other paintings by Han Gan have been handed down, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art has another painting by Han Gan, "The Picture of a Horse by the Figure", which is also a top work of art.

Although it is also a painting of horses, "Drawing of a Horse in the Dark" is slightly worse than "White Picture in the Night", and among all the surviving paintings of Han Gan, this "White Picture in the Night" can be called the most outstanding.

In fact, I also wanted to trade Han Gan's painting "Portrait of a Horse in the Circle" and display it in my own private museum, but unfortunately, the Metropolitan Museum of Art rejected me."

Speaking of this, Ye Tian turned his head to look at Thomas and the others.

The guys at the Metropolitan Museum rolled their eyes in unison, and Thomas said with an angry wry smile:

"Steven, you guy is so greedy, you want to put anything good in your pocket, you are not afraid to hold on, you have to leave us something good, is it true that our Asian art department is closed?"

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone laughed, but in different moods.

After a few words of laughter, Ye Tian returned to the topic and continued to introduce this famous painting through the ages.

"What is depicted on this "White Picture of the Night" is one of the favorite mounts of Li Longji of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, 'Illuminating the White of the Night', which is famous in Chinese history, and this is the image of the famous white horse.

On the screen, you can see that Teruyabai is tied to a black wooden stake, his mane is flying, his nostrils are wide, his eyes are rolling, his head is raised, and he is crying, as if he is about to break free.

Han Gan not only painted the appearance of the white fat and healthy body of the night, but also focused on showing his unruly majestic spirit, with concise brushes, slender and strong lines, giving people the feeling of jumping on the paper.

In the painter's brush, this unruly and fierce horse, the whole body exudes infinite strength and movement, but at the same time, when viewed from the other side, the horse seems to gallop in the vast air.

When viewing the painting, the viewer can feel that it is not a secular horse, but a horse full of spirit, striving to be free from bondage and longing for freedom, and the picture is highly theatrical.

With its elastic and vigorous lines and slightly rendered painting techniques, "White Picture of the Night" appropriately shows the vigor and galloping momentum of the horse, and has become a masterpiece of ancient Chinese horse painting.

As you can see, in addition to the main picture, there are many beautiful inscriptions of different lengths and sizes on this famous painting, as well as large and small red seals, all over the painting.

This is a phenomenon unique to Chinese calligraphy and painting, and all these inscriptions and seals come from ancient Chinese emperors, generals, literati and celebrities, showing the orderly history of this painting.

In ancient China, the White Picture of the Night was a treasure sought after by emperors, generals, literati and artists, as well as top collectors, as evidenced by the inscriptions and seals on the paintings.

It is precisely the handwriting of these emperors and literati that makes this "White Picture of the Night" jump out of the category of painting and become a national treasure-level cultural relic integrating painting, calligraphy and engraving,......"

Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce this "White Picture of the Night" to the audience, and gave these Yankees a vivid lesson in Chinese calligraphy and painting.

Ten minutes later, he finished the introduction, and he was still a little unfinished.

He then carefully rolled up the priceless artifact, put it back in the brown portable safe, locked it up, and gave it to Betty to carry in her hand.

Immediately afterward, he entered his fingerprints and passwords in turn, locked the rest of the dozens of large and small portable safes one by one, and prepared to transport them away.

Soon, the time was around half past five in the afternoon.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's day's opening hours are approaching and closing, and many visitors to the Met have left the exhibition halls and walked out of the museum.

At the same time, leaving the Metropolitan Museum, there were also Ye Tian who returned with a full load.

Ye Tian and his escort convoy drove away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, carrying a large number of priceless top Chinese antiques and artworks, along Fifth Avenue, and headed straight for Midtown Manhattan.

As when it came, the place where this huge motorvoy passed once again caused a commotion, attracted countless eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred, and made the atmosphere on the streets of New York tense again.

But at this time, on the streets of New York, no one dares to fight the idea of this team, the idea of those top Chinese antique artworks, unless they think they have lived too long!
