Chapter Twenty-Six: A Peerless Treasure

About a quarter of an hour later, Gao Fan heard footsteps in the hallway, and the sound of the door being opened and closed.

After a while, the sound of the door opening also sounded outside Gao Fan's door.

Qi Yulin walked in, holding a rectangular sandalwood box in his hand, and then the door was locked again.

"Mr. Gao Fan, this is one of them."

After placing the sandalwood box on the table, Qi Yulin first handed Gao Fan a pair of white gloves, and then took out paper and pen.

"Please write the results on paper and give them to me."

Gao Fan glanced at Qi Yulin, who looked like a robot, silently took the paper and pen, and set his eyes on the sandalwood box.

The sandalwood box is just a carrying tool, and what is placed inside is the protagonist of today.

Gao Fan put on his gloves and carefully opened the sandalwood box, and at this time, Qi Yulin had already turned his back and stood by the door.

When the lid of the box was lifted, the bronze sword that had been seen in the catalogue last time came into view. Although it has been baptized by the years, there is still a faint cold flickering on it, which is very sharp.

Gao Fan carefully looked at the bronze sword.

The total length of the sword is about 50 centimeters, the blade is cast in bronze, and the sword grid and head are made of white jade. The hook cloud pattern at the bottom of the sword head is carved smoothly and exquisitely, and the sword grid is a relief of the beast face pattern, which is three-dimensional and natural.

In particular, the sword grid is also inlaid with some turquoise gemstones.

This is a bronze jade sword utensil.

There are still several inscriptions engraved on the sword, which have been corroded by the years and are somewhat illegible.

Vaguely, you can see the words "King Yue's decree", and the others are difficult to distinguish.

Gao Fan was secretly frightened, the identity of this sword was self-evident.

"Warring States jade inlaid turquoise Yue Wang Zhi bronze sword."

"The king sword admired by the fourth generation of the great-grandson of Yue Wang Goujian."

"The craftsmanship is excellent and the condition is extremely good."

Gao Fan scribbled a few lines on the paper, and the valuation of the little sword in his heart continued to rise, and it had broken through to six million.

Just the first piece, its value made Gao Fan feel shocked.

If it is placed in the auction house, it is estimated that it will be able to fetch a sky-high price.

"Alright."

Gao Fan put the sword back into the box, closed the lid, folded the paper again, and greeted Qi Yulin.

Only then did Qi Yulin turn around, take the sandalwood box and pieces of paper, and leave the room.

Gao Fan looked through the door and saw Mo Shengguang in the opposite room holding a white jade maid in his hand.

"Warring States White Jade Samurai Merchant, three million."

Gao Fan seems to be the latest person to be identified, but he was the first to complete the identification.

He looked around the room, where the other four were still scrutinizing their respective items.

In Yang Bixian's room next to him, there is a bronze tripod with a beast face pattern tiger foot that is also from the Warring States Period, and it is worth about two million.

In Zhou Lin's hand is a two-eared three-legged bronze incense burner of the Warring States, two million and six hundred thousand.

What Lin Quanyou got was a set of broken Warring States Sword Coins, which were also worth 2.5 million.

In the first round of appraisal, Gao Fan got the highest value.

The black mandarin duck jade pendant has not yet appeared.

Gao Fan sat on the sofa and waited quietly for everyone to complete the identification.

Everyone should have to identify all 12 items, which is not a small project.

Gong Xu also has to compare the identification results of the five of them on the same item one by one, and if the difference is too great, he will also convene everyone to discuss it.

Thinking of this, Gao Fan had to admire the old man's patience.

Half an hour later, the door to Gao Fan's room was opened again.

Qi Yulin and the other two attendants walked in carrying a small ding, which seemed to be not lightweight.

Different from Yang Bixian's identification just now, this tripod is not cast in bronze, but is made of Hetian white jade all over.

Gao Fan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't hide his shock.

The Warring States period belongs to the Bronze Age, and it is dominated by bronze artifacts. Such a beautiful and well-preserved tripod is still made of Hetian white jade, but in this regard, the value is immeasurable.

What's more, the tripod has always been one of the most important artifacts in ancient times, and is often considered to be able to represent the supreme power, and in the Warring States period, it is a symbol of national power and national power. Its significance is equivalent to the jade seal of the country after the Qin Dynasty.

With a combination of historical and cultural significance, this tripod is already worthy of being called a national treasure.

"The Warring States double-eared three-legged gluttonous pattern white jade tripod is priceless."

Gao Fan groaned for a while, but the pen in his hand couldn't fall for a long time.

The things that Gong Xu got are very old, and each one of them can be called a fine product. Especially the white jade tripod in front of him. With such a large number of Warring States cultural relics, the way he obtained it seemed to be somewhat self-evident.

At the foot of the mountain in the east, it is very likely to be a large tomb of the princes of the Warring States.

Then, Gong Xu is a tomb robber...... And now, in a society governed by the rule of law, the consequences of stealing national treasures are unimaginable.

Gao Fan thought of this, and cold sweat broke out in his vest.

If it was just by relying on Gong Xu's power in Linquan City, it would be difficult for Gao Fan to imagine that he could have such courage.

"Xiao Qi."

Gao Fan called out to Qi Yulin, who was facing away from him.

"I want to see Old Man Gong."

Qi Yulin was slightly stunned, did not speak, and went out silently.

Gao Fan took advantage of this gap to look at the other four people's rooms.

As expected, the things in their hands are all from the Warring States, but compared to the previous round, they have all been damaged to varying degrees, and the value is not as good as the previous ones.

Except for the items that Gao Fan got that were complete and priceless, what the others got seemed to be nothing more than that. Gao Fan was a little suspicious that Gong Xu had arranged it on purpose.

"Mr. Gao Fan, Mr. Gong is invited."

Gao Fan followed behind Qi Yulin and walked through the long corridor. The muscular men in black stood straight on either side, giving a sense of intimidation.

Gong Xu was leaning back in his chair at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating. Playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand.

Qi Yulin knocked on the door three times, only to hear a "enter", and Gao Fan was led in.

"Old man Gong."

Gao Fan bowed first.

Gong Xu opened his eyes, glanced at him, and slowly closed his eyes again.

"What about the Ding?"

Hearing Gong Xu ask, Gao Fan was silent.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

"Old man, the kid is clumsy, let's ask a few other masters to take a look."

Gao Fan said that Bai Yuding was very special, and he didn't think that the other four people could be sure to identify it, at least, there was no five-point certainty.

"Sit down."

Gong Xu waved his hand and motioned for Gao Fan to sit down.

"What do you think it's about?"

Gao Fan was a little surprised when he saw Gong Xu ask so directly, he could only bite the bullet and say it casually.

"Look at the material, it should be Hetian white jade ......"

"The shape of the tripod is a classic two-eared three-legged ......"

"Then the carved pattern of this tripod body should be the animal pattern......"

"But I don't think the carving is exquisite."

Gong Xu listened quietly, not seeing any change in expression on his face, only occasionally nodded.

Bai Yuding was placed in front of the two of them, Gao Fan said while showing Gong Xu with his fingers, but there was a little flaw in Fan Ding, and Gao Fan magnified it infinitely.

Gong Xu listened to Gao Fan's explanation, and frowned from time to time, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this Venerable Ding.

Gao Fan said as he observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision, and the black mandarin duck jade pendant was placed on Gong Xu's right hand, and he had not yet had time to identify it for everyone.

The strange and familiar feeling came up again, and for a while, Gao Fan was a little unstable and wanted to reach out for the jade pendant.

The curling cigarette rose from the incense burner in the room, and after Gao Fan finished speaking, he looked at Gong Xu again, and from his wrinkled face, Gao Fan had a bad premonition in his heart......
