Chapter 246: Master Competition
Wu Mingguo sighed.
"Of course it would be best if it was just that, but in the end, this matter still got out."
It turned out that after Wu Mingguo himself determined that the "Five Holy Pictures" was genuine, he found several Chinese painting appraisal masters, all of whom were his friends, to see if the painting was real.
In the end, everyone finally confirmed that this painting must have been written by Wu Daozi himself, and it really couldn't be more real.
There is no other authentic work of Wu Daozi in this world, and at this time, it is said that there is a real handiwork, which must not be buried in the hands of Wu Mingguo, and must be exhibited for the world to see.
However, Wu Daozi's authentic works have not been circulated in the world, and one suddenly appeared at this time, the impact is too great, and it will definitely cause a sensation, and in the end, it is not necessarily a good thing.
Therefore, in the end, Wu Daozi discussed with several master friends around him, and unanimously decided that this "Five Holy Maps" was not the authentic work of Wu Daozi, but only a copy version of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and its sensation might be less.
In this way, you can not only participate in the exhibition and let the world see, but also reduce unnecessary sensation and trouble, killing two birds with one stone!
"According to the original plan, five days later, my "Five Holy Pictures" will be exhibited at the Pearl City Museum."
Speaking of this, Wu Mingguo's expression became solemn.
"But now, the exhibition hasn't started yet, and I don't know who revealed the fact that I have the original work of the "Five Holy Maps" in my hands!"
"Someone leaked the news? Are those of your friends? Hong Xiao guessed.
There are only a few people who know about this matter, and it is definitely impossible for Wu Mingguo himself to leak it, so it can only be a few other people.
But Wu Mingguo shook his head.
"No, counting me, there are only three people who know about this matter, and the other two are my old friends for many years, and they will definitely not leak this matter, and there should be someone else who leaks the news." Wu Mingguo is very sure.
In this way, things are strange.
The three people who know the truth will not leak the news lightly, but the others don't know at all, so how can they leak anything?
"Now is not the time to pursue these, anyway, the news has leaked out, but fortunately not many people know.
Just a few days ago, I got the news that a group of people were coming to steal the Five Holy Maps.
And this group of people was so arrogant that they told me that the time they were going to act was just four days later, the day before the exhibition. ”
What, there is such a theft gang, and they also tell the treasure holder that they have time to do it, isn't this a chance for the other party to strengthen their vigilance!
But on the other hand, these people dare to do this, they must have relied on it, and they believe very much that they will be able to succeed.
When you think about it, it's a tricky thing to do.
Speaking of which, Wu Daozi's "Five Holy Pictures" should be priceless, but when it comes to the hands of some people, it has a price.
The gang certainly didn't want to steal the Five Sacred Charts for the sake of collecting, and it was very likely that they had even contacted the buyer.
As soon as the Five Holy Maps are in hand, the transaction will take place immediately.
And the buyer doesn't care who this picture belonged to before, all they care about is who this picture will end up in.
In order to ensure the safety of the Five Holy Maps, I must strengthen the security force, so I hope you can help me. ”
Wu Mingguo looked at Hong Xiao with burning eyes, and very much hoped that Hong Xiao could agree.
Hearing this, Hong Xiao nodded clearly, he was already very clear.
The reason why Wu Mingguo brought him here was to be a security guard for his "Five Holy Diagrams"!
Hong Xiao could guess Wu Mingguo's thoughts at this time, as long as he could avoid the thieves' plan this time, and then let the "Five Holy Pictures" be exhibited smoothly
Then after the matter is completed, Wu Mingguo will definitely find a way to make this calligraphy and painting disappear in this world, and it will be his alone.
However, this time, the bodyguards are not good, and the thieves who dare to tell them all the time they have done must be very powerful, and their means must be very clever.
It is not an easy thing to keep the "Five Holy Diagrams".
However, Hong Xiao pondered for a while, and finally smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Wu, I can help with this matter, but I have a few conditions."
"What conditions? As long as I can ensure the safety of the "Five Holy Maps", I can agree! ”
Wu Mingguo is a very avid lover of calligraphy and painting, and this "Five Holy Pictures" fell into his hands, and he was treated as if he were the root of his life.
As long as the safety of the "Five Holy Maps" can be guaranteed, Wu Mingguo can accept any conditions.
"Okay, then I'll talk about my conditions.
First, since I am asked to protect the Five Holy Maps, the Five Holy Maps must be in my hands for that day, so that I can be sure enough, otherwise I will not agree.
Second, compared to Uncle Wu, he must have found a lot of people to protect the "Five Holy Maps" before, and they should all be trustworthy people, these people must be personally commanded by me.
The third and last one, the five million, you still take it back, I regard you as an elder and Lili as a friend, I don't want the five million. ”
Hong Xiao once wondered if he would accept the five million, so that Wu Mingguo could feel more at ease.
But in the end, Hong Xiao still made a decision not to accept the five million, otherwise there would be a small pimple in his heart.
After Hong Xiao returned to Huaxia, he just wanted to live a peaceful life, if he risked his life for five million, wouldn't it be contrary to his original intention at that time?
And if you don't take the money, just help your friends, Hong Xiao's heart will be much better.
"Just these three conditions?"
Wu Mingguo was stunned again!
It's not that these three conditions are too difficult, but too simple, needless to say, the first two, if Hong Xiaoken helps, he will definitely do it.
As for the last condition, where is this condition, it is to save Wu Mingguo money.
At this time, Wu Mingguo looked at Hong Xiao and then at his daughter, and seemed to understand.
In Wu Mingguo's opinion, it's not that Hong Xiao doesn't want money, it's that he can't ask for it!
If so, what do you think of your daughter?
"Okay, I promised you all these three conditions. I will take back this money, and on that day, the "Five Holy Maps" will be in your hands, and as for the other people I invited, they will only arrive tomorrow, so why don't you meet with them tomorrow! ”
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
Since he promised to keep the "Five Holy Maps", Hong Xiao naturally had to do his best.
I don't know what the opponent's situation is yet, but Hong Xiao alone can't ensure success, so Hong Xiao needs help.
And these helpers must obey Hong Xiao's command, which is very important, only in this way can they ensure that nothing goes wrong!
Of course, Hong Xiao wouldn't think that as soon as he said it casually, those people would listen to him.
The people Wu Mingguo found must have two hits, such people are all temperamental, what Hong Xiao wants to do tomorrow is to let them lose their temper, and they all listen to themselves!
Hong Xiao said goodbye and left, and Wu Lili went to the door of the villa to see Hong Xiao.
"Hong Xiao, thank you!"
Wu Lili was very happy, Hong Xiao didn't want to take five million, and said that he was his friend, which made Wu Lili very happy.
Hong Xiao smiled and shook her head, thinking that Wu Lili thanked herself because she decided to help her father!
"I'm leaving."
After speaking, Hong Xiao prepared to leave.
At this time, Wu Lili suddenly stopped Hong Xiao.
"Hong Xiao, wait a minute."
Hong Xiao turned around, a gust of fragrant wind rushed by, and Wu Lili had already thrown herself into his arms.
"Thank you."
After saying a word softly, Wu Lili ran back to the villa.
"You ......"
Hong Xiao stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
After returning to the villa, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted, and when they saw Hong Xiao coming back, no one asked him what he was doing outside, only Hong Yuyan looked at Hong Xiao with a little different eyes.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, in order to make up for his mistake of not being there last night, Hong Xiao got up and prepared breakfast for everyone.
At eleven o'clock, Hong Xiao appeared at the door of Wu Lili's villa on time.
"Hong Xiao, you're finally here."
Wu Mingguo personally went to the door of the villa to greet Hong Xiao.
"Uncle Wu, you're polite, are everyone else here?"
"It's all here, there are four people in total, and you're the only one missing."
"Oh, four people, it's enough, as long as they can cooperate with me well, there should be no problem with the Five Holy Diagrams."
"Humph!"
As soon as Hong Xiao finished saying this, a horizontal hum came from the side.
"Who are you? You also want us to cooperate with you, young people can be energetic, but don't talk big! ”
Hong Xiao turned his head
I saw that a middle-aged man about thirty-five years old walked out of the door of the villa and stared at Hong Xiao tightly, his face full of contempt!
Hong Xiao smiled indifferently.
This person must be the master invited by Wu Mingguo.
Sure enough, the masters are temperamental.
This guy has a resolute complexion, a strong aura, and a faint murderous aura, obviously a person who often hovers on the edge of life and death, to be able to find such a master, Wu Mingguo must have put a lot of effort.
"Haha!" Wu Mingguo pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced, "Hong Xiao, his name is Huo Lin, I specially invited him to help for the safety of the Five Holy Maps, and he is also the main force of this operation!" ”
Hong Xiao nodded knowingly.
"Hello, my name is Hong Xiao!" Hong Xiao walked up directly and stretched out his hand towards Huo Lin.
But Huo Lin didn't seem to see it, and said to Wu Mingguo: "Mr. Wu, this time it's a big deal, why do you want such a young man to come, can he cooperate with us to protect Tu's safety?" ”
Obviously, Huo Lin saw that Hong Xiao was too young and didn't believe him!
Hearing this, Hong Xiao smiled slightly, his age is indeed the reason why others look down on him many times.
But can't young people be masters? There is no such provision.
Moreover, although the person in front of him is a master, it is not enough for Hong Xiao!
"This uncle, who said that young people are not good, do you want to try?" Hong Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, this is what you asked for, and you'll be beaten in a while, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
Huo Lin was very happy when he heard that Hong Xiao actually took the initiative to do it with him, and he was looking for an opportunity to teach Hong Xiao a lesson!
After Wu Mingguo heard the words of the two, he frowned.
It doesn't seem good to fight just after someone is invited, after all, they will be partners in cooperation in the future.
"Uncle Wu, don't worry, let's give it a try, and we'll get there." Hong Xiao smiled indifferently and said.
Wu Mingguo heard Hong Xiao say this, and finally nodded, it would be better for the two to compare, so that they could be divided into priorities, which would be conducive to protecting the safety of the "Five Holy Maps".
Seeing that Wu Mingguo agreed, Huo Lin directly put on a posture.
"Boy, let me show you, what is real strength!"
Huo Lin snorted coldly, and a pair of eyes stared at Hong Xiao deadly, as if he had the determination to win.
"It's useless to talk more, if you want to do it, hurry up!"
Hong Xiao still looked at the guy in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Humph!"
Huo Lin's face turned cold, and his feet moved violently, rushing towards Hong Xiao.
