Chapter 1035: The Parthian Empire
Chapter 1035: The Parthian Empire
……
Although it is likely that this spear and shield were not on the battlefield after they were cast, and it is not even certain whether the famous Alexander the Great had seen them, the historical significance of these two weapons is too important, and their existence is more accurate proof that Alexander's empire once ruled Central Asia, and even pushed the boundaries of the empire to the green mountains!
In this sense, these two crafts are not too complicated, they are undoubtedly 'national treasures' art treasures!
And the last national treasure-level cultural relic that is very precious in Liu Dong's opinion is a jade plate made of Afghan jade!
The length of the jade plate is no more than 80 centimeters, the width is less than 40 centimeters, and the thickness is less than a finger, and the material of the jade is relatively ordinary!
But the 219 ancient Persian characters on this jade plate make this ordinary jade plate from the third century BC invaluable!
The main reason for this is that the text on this jade plate expresses the founding declaration of Artshak I, the founding emperor of the Parthian Empire. It is similar to the ancient Chinese holy decree after the opening of a new dynasty: inheriting the destiny of the heavens, overthrowing the tyranny of so-and-so, showing grace to the world, and establishing a so-and-so dynasty is the same meaning!
The Parthian Empire is the Empire of Anxi, which is often mentioned in Chinese history, especially in the history of the Han Dynasty.
In 247 BC, the founding monarch Arsasi separated the country from the Seleucid Hellenistic empire, and through the efforts of several generations of kings, the Parthian Empire was at its peak. The territory stretched north to the Euphrates River in the southeast of Asia Minor and the mighty empire of the Amu Darya River in the east!
At the same time, the Parthian Empire is also considered to be one of the four major empires in Asia and Europe in its heyday, along with the Han Dynasty, Rome, and Kushan Empire!
The founding declaration of such a powerful nation is very similar to the Declaration of Independence of Americans today. And more than 2,000 years earlier!
After Liu Dong packed up the three national treasures that he thought were the most valuable, he looked at the empty storage room, and felt a little regretful at the same time!
As Afghanistan, where Mahayana Buddhism flourished for more than 500 years before the flourishing of Islam, there are countless Buddhist temple ruins! But this time, Liu Dong did not find any Buddha relics in these collections, especially the Buddha relics of Buddha Shakyamuni!
If there is, then his relics Yuanguang and mustard seed space will be able to go further!
Look at the empty treasure room. Meditating on the rich harvest in the mustard seed space, Liu Dong's slight regret in his heart because he did not get the Buddha's relics quickly calmed down.
"Then it's time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Liu Dong, whose eyes were cold, quickly disappeared into the treasure room!
Came silently, and left without a sound. But it didn't attract the attention of the guards outside!
As for what will happen if he steals these treasures treasured by the Taliban, it is not for Liu Dong to consider! As long as it is not in his own country, Liu Dong has no scruples about doing anything!
……
"Smack!"
Murati turned over again, but the inexplicable irritability in his heart kept him from sleeping!
And deep down he felt a sense of danger again. But consider yourself now in a heavily guarded underground military base. No one came in, so I quickly let go of my dangerous instincts!
He turned over and turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, looked at his watch, and found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening! According to his previous habits, if he had been okay at this time, he would have fallen asleep! But I don't know why I always feel very irritable today, as if something is going to happen!
Murati, who still can't figure out the reason, but can't sleep. I simply put on my pajamas and walked out of the bedroom, and after going to the bathroom. When I came to the living room, I lit a cigarette for myself after turning on the light, sat on the sofa and smoked slowly, and while smoking, Murati's thoughts were like this curling smoke, slowly emitting out!
It is said that he has been in Kamdesh for almost a week, but bin Laden has never agreed with him! This undoubtedly makes Mulati, who is used to being a big brother, accustomed to being respected, and accustomed to enjoying luxury, is a little uncomfortable!
Now it's safe to stay in this secret underground base every day, but every day is like going to prison! There is no freedom at all! Not to mention enjoyment!
And every time he thinks of this, he can't help but recall that when he was in Hotan, he was at ease, and he was surrounded by red faces, and life was so beautiful at that time!
"It's all to blame on that damn Liu Dong, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today!" Murati couldn't help but hate in his heart, gritting his teeth.
"I didn't expect Mr. Murat to miss me until now!"
The voice that suddenly appeared beside him made Murati's whole person freeze in an instant.
After a half-sound without moving, he suddenly trembled for a moment, and then like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he bounced off the sofa with a 'Teng'.
Turning his head, he looked at Liu Dong, who was standing two meters away from him, with a frightened and disbelieving expression, and swallowed his saliva before saying in a trembling voice: "You...... You, are you human, are you ...... Ghosts?"
After smiling indifferently, Liu Dong took a few steps forward and got on the sofa, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he said with a slight sneer: "People, ghosts, people, people, ghosts, ghosts, aren't they all here to ask for your life?"
At this time, Murati, who was a little frightened, also found that the person sitting in front of him was indeed a flesh-and-blood person, not other supernatural creatures!
This made him feel relieved and nervous at the same time!
"How did you get in? There are more than 10,000 soldiers outside, you can't get in here!" Murat spoke a little incoherently because of fear and disbelief.
"But in fact, I'm not already here?" Liu Dong said indifferently.
When it was certain that Murat was in his hands, Liu Dong was not in a hurry to kill the other party. Instead, I enjoyed playing a game of cat and mouse, in order to repay myself for the hard work of being led by the other party through the mountains and mountains for more than half a month, across three countries, and thousands of kilometers of mountain roads!
Looking at Liu Dong in front of him, Murati really couldn't figure out how the other party had passed through the heavy protection outside and quietly entered his room, but he understood that if he didn't come up with a way quickly, then today would be the last day he lived in this world!
"You're tracking this down to kill me?" said Murati, who had calmed down a little.
"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded unceremoniously.
"Why? Now that I have been cornered by you! And I have lost everything in Hetian, and it is impossible to pose any threat to you in the future, why can't you let me live, don't the Chinese often say 'compassion', 'be lenient to others' and 'save people's lives to build a seventh-level floating slaughter'?"
After glancing at Murati with a sarcastic look, Liu Dong said: "You are very good at applying words that are beneficial to yourself to yourself! But unfortunately, the concept I believe in is 'cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, and the future troubles will be endless'! In order for me not to regret it in the future, so please die, if you don't die, I will never be at ease!"
With that, Liu Dong slowly stood up from the sofa!
"Wait, you know, I've been in Hotan for many years, and I've accumulated a lot of money in my hands, as long as you're willing to let me go, I'm willing to give you all this money!
"Do you think I'll be short of money?" Liu Dong said coldly.
In a word, Murat suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was worth more than 10 billion dollars at a young age, and he had much more money than himself!
"Help......!"
There was no way out, and even the guns in his hands were entering the base, and the collected Murati could only turn to the guards outside.
It's just that his two words have just come out, and the Adam's apple has been cut off by Liu Dong's palm knife!
"Giggle...... Poof!"
Looking at the corpse with his hands tightly choked his throat, his eyes wide open, his face turned blue, and he slowly lost his breath and fell to the ground without any life, Liu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!
This Murati is the most difficult enemy to kill since his debut.
Kamdesh, who has been chasing from Hotan in China to Afghanistan, finally ended up with the other party's life, but he had no worries!
"I hope this kind of thing will not come again in the future, otherwise it will really kill people!" Recalling the hard work of sleeping in the open and climbing mountains and mountains these days, Liu Dong really never wants to experience it again!
Originally, after climbing the Tianshan Mountains for more than a month, looking for Snow Lotus was enough for him, but this cross-border pursuit was simply torture!
From now on, Liu Dong announced that he would never have a chance to climb the mountain again!
"Huh?"
Just when Liu Dong was packing up and preparing to leave, a new change suddenly appeared in the area covered by the relics Yuanguang!
"Why is he here?"
I saw that Refett Stillman, who clashed with him at noon today, appeared in the barracks above the underground base with two bodyguards!
Thinking of the other party's special identity, and considering the current time and place, Liu Dong vaguely guessed that the purpose of Rofitte's coming to Camdysh was probably different from most people who came for the so-called auction and poisons!
"Just follow and have a look!" After thinking for a while, Liu Dong, who was curious, had an idea in his heart!
After disposing of Murati's body and cleaning up the surrounding traces, Liu Dong left this heavily guarded room located two hundred meters underground along the same road!
From beginning to end, the movement in the room never attracted the attention of the patrolmen outside!
