"Oh? What the? "I couldn't help but be stunned.

"What I see is naturally exactly the same as the bouncing lute-bearer in the mural, but what you see is completely different from what I see." The Great of the North said.

This sentence was difficult to understand at first, but when I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me.

Around 1900, the antiquities dealers of the Eight-Nation Coalition were rampant in China, especially in the wild and remote areas, and they were often able to exchange large quantities of precious cultural relics from the common people at very low prices.

When Daoist Wang discovered the hidden scripture cave in Mogao Grottoes, the above problems also appeared. The looters of cultural relics from various countries bribed the royal Taoist priest with a small amount of gold and silver, but in exchange for the scriptures and murals, and even many rare treasures, modern people only know their names, but do not see their true faces.

As I understand it, the Emperor must have seen the frescoes stolen from the Mogao Grottoes by antiquities dealers from the Tsarist Russian era, including the "Rebounding Pipa Picture".

I had long been aware that most of the murals in the Mogao Grottoes were multi-layered, and if the upper layers were removed, the lower layers would be revealed, and in some places there were more than four layers.

In other words, there may be two or more "Rebounding Pipa Pictures" in the world, and what Chinese people see today is only the remnants of the murals, not their original appearance. Sadly, only the marauders know what it looks like, and the people of the country can no longer see it.

"I see what you mean." I nodded, "Where's the mural?" ”

The Northern Emperor was very appreciative of my comprehension ability, and nodded and replied, "Just near the ancient stage, I arranged for someone to temporarily build some houses there for the use of the expedition team. ”

"Check it out." I say.

"Are you going to soak in ice water with me anymore?" The Great of the North laughed.

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Don't do these meaningless things, not everyone needs absolute calmness like His Excellency the General." ”

The "Ice Bucket Challenge" brings great harm to the human body, and only a bored and reckless person will ignore their physical conditions and insist on going their own way, placing themselves in the ice bucket, resulting in the serious consequences of cold poison entering the body and destroying joints.

If I hadn't made a bet with the Great Emperor of the North, I wouldn't have gone into the water to beg for hardship at all.

Now, with new clues emerging, it's time for our game to come to an end, regardless of whether we win or lose.

Half an hour later, I got into the bulletproof car of the Northern Emperor and began to run all the way.

As I expected, judging from the bumpiness of the car and the direction of travel, the so-called "ice caves and ice pools" were all man-made, and their intention was to convince me that I had entered the territory of the Northern Emperor. However, I clearly judged at this moment that the car still did not leave the northwest of the mainland.

"Sometimes, you have to go off the rails and take you by surprise." The Northern Emperor sensed that I had seen through his plan, and explained with a smile.

I don't want to say it, because I can't stop it.

No matter how strong the rivers and lakes are, for the country, it is only a drop in the bucket. If I'm going to be out for these things, I'm really going to be a mantis arm.

"There are some things that I don't know best, because knowing too much is not good for me." I responded with a smile.

Seeing through without saying is the highest state of a wise man.

"Hehe, yes, some people like to sharpen their heads and drill in, regardless of whether something is related to them or not, and just push forward desperately. I hate that kind of people, especially the kind of Chinese who are servile and sloppy. In the eyes of us Europeans, the most suitable job for Chinese is to follow the white man as a retinue, hehehehe......" the Northern Emperor laughed teasingly.

I sneered: "Your Excellency, that's all the old view of the past. Now, if you look at the whole world, the 21st century is coming, and Chinese the 'Great China and Great Strategy' that stands proudly in Asia and looks at the whole world has come, and Chinese will not only no longer be the followers of the Western powers, but also be the first in Asia, the world's largest country, and a strong country......

When it comes to national honor, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

The cowardice of the late Qing Dynasty made the battle flags of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army dance wildly on the land of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, no country on earth dared to despise this awakened lion of the East.

The Northern Emperor represents only a small branch after the complete collapse of the Northern Alliance, what right does he have to despise China and the Chinese?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The Northern Emperor's attitude became very friendly, "What I just said was unintentional. ”

I shook my head: "Your Excellency, I also apologize for my excitement. It's just that in the future, in the conversation between you and me, please do not involve my motherland, this is my final bottom line. As a Chinese, even if I can't add color to him all the time, I will never tolerate anyone smearing him. ”

"Okay, okay." The Great Emperor of the North nodded repeatedly.

The car slowed down after two hours of driving. Judging by the sound, the car drove into a small airport and soon drove into the belly of an airplane.

It is more convenient to cross the border by special plane, and for those who have diplomatic immunity, no matter what they are carrying in their luggage, they will not be searched.

Soon, I felt the jolting and dizziness of the plane taking off.

"How long does it take to get to the ancient stage?" I asked.

"Five hours without pauses." The Great of the North replied.

We didn't transfer places and sat in the car all the time.

In fact, we don't have much in common, after all, our countries are different, our status is very different, and we have different views on the same issue. If you express your opinion indiscriminately, it will only arouse the disdain of the other party.

"I have 20,000 people in my think tank, 1,500 people in my think tank, 300 people in my staff team, and 50 people who can make decisions for me. If you're willing to join, how about you command all the centaurs in these positions? The Great Northern asked.

I shook my head and thanked: "No, I can live well in China without worrying." Moreover, I have not yet learned to openly confront my homeland, and I will never dare to run into the enemy camp. ”

I'm sure I can resist any temptation, otherwise I wouldn't have left Perak Hall at a time when my fame was in full swing.

"With me, you can do great things, you can show your ambitions, and let the whole world cheer for you." The Northern Emperor did not give up his persuasion of me easily.

I smiled: "In today's China, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely shine." His Excellency General has many eyes and ears, and he must know the situation in China well. Now, the prosperous era has come, and the real smart people will not be bystanders, but to be the builders of a great country, leaving their names in the prosperous era and going down in history forever. ”

This is my sincere words, and it is also the real situation in the country. Correspondingly, many Chinese people who studied abroad and settled in Europe and the United States in the early years have returned to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, forming a high-end talent alliance for national construction, which has changed from a former talent export country to a "global talent introduction country".

In such a prosperous age, what kind of choices should the wise man make, and do you need to explain more?

The Emperor of the North suddenly sighed: "If I say that in fact, since the adventure on the back side of the Caucasus Mountain, I have already had the idea of retreating, and I am selecting young elites around the world to form a new national protection guard—would you like to come?" You are a young man worthy of trust, regardless of nationality for the time being, as long as you are willing to come, all problems are not a problem. ”

For his kindness, I stopped at the word "thank you" and did not want to go into further discussion. Still, I understand his feelings. This is a very old-fashioned traditional story, the king loves beauty rather than the country, and puts down his ambitions for a woman who may not exist.

I guess if the American spies had learned of the report, the Pentagon would have cheered. The Northern Emperor is the only person they fear, and as soon as this person retreats, no one in the Northern Alliance will dare to openly rebel against the United States.

"In fact, don't put too much hope in one thing at any time, so as to risk your net worth and life. Full-scale stud, courage is commendable, but gambling is not played like this, there is no regret medicine to catch at all. Even if you believe that the people who appeared on the ancient stage are real, we have to start from scratch, whether it is a few months, or decades......," I said.

"She's right there, alive, it must be a modern person, she must be waiting for me somewhere on Earth." The Great of the North regained his stubbornness.

Lei Dongtian told me a true story of "a man in the rivers and lakes loves the beauty in the mirage of Shanghai", which happened in the Middle East desert forty years ago. The traveler encounters a mirage and happens to photograph the stunning woman who appeared in the vision, and the search begins. Sincerely, the gold and stone are open. After going through hardships and dangers, he finally found the woman, who thought that the Yiren was the leader of the desert horse bandits, brave and vicious, completely different from what he imagined.

Just like now, the Emperor of the North over-beautifies the woman who bounces the pipa, imagining her as a fairy with fluttering fairy robes and all kinds of amorous fairies, and only wants the best side, completely ignoring the hundreds of "bad situations" hidden behind it.

On the back side of the Caucasus Mountains, where "thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of paths and people disappear", it is extremely difficult for human beings to survive. Even if those people ever existed, they would have migrated across the globe and lived their own lives.

"Let's see, hope and disappointment are two sides of the same coin, and there can be no third side. Your Excellency, since it's still early, maybe we can all take a nap. "I propose.

According to my estimates, at least until the plane landed, the Northern Emperor and I couldn't do anything, just sit here calmly.

He didn't give enough information, probably because he didn't have it in the first place.

I closed my eyes and prepared to take a nap.

Suddenly, the police lights around the car flashed, and the emergency alarm sounded instantly.

I sat up jerk straight and looked around.

Someone came running from behind, banging on the roof of the car in a hurry, not caring for any politeness.

The Emperor of the North lowered the window glass, and the person who came was the electric falcon. Now, the electric falcon has lost its calm and composure, and its eyes are red, like a mad tiger.

"Get out of the car, General, get out of the car quickly, the plane must be locked, maybe we have to come up with a backup plan." The electric falcon said loudly.

I couldn't help but roar, "Mr. Denshoya, what are you doing? ”

The electric falcon turned around and replied with only two words: "air raid".
