Big Islander 2

Chapter 84 History of Aggression

"Princess? Hehe, this princess really has character." Tang Jide really didn't know how to evaluate it.In fact, he didn't know that members of the British royal family have several rebels in each generation.It's just that in order to maintain the face of the royal family, the British Empire did not make many things public.

Although Xiao Xiami didn't see the photo, he had a rough guess.Her little mind turned quickly for a while, and then her little face was full of dignity: "Uncle Big Head, these things must be shipped away as soon as possible. And these photos, you put them away first, and don't give them to anyone."

Although Tang Jide didn't understand the trick, he always obeyed Xiao Xiami's words, so he put all the photos in the pitcher, and then started calling Mr. Captain.After communicating, I learned that Mr. Captain was still on Hong Kong Island, so I called Scar and asked him to find a way to help.

After the arrangement was completed, Robin also came back and called a large box with the name of the moving company printed on it.At this time, Tang Jide and others are not suitable to show up. They are only responsible for packing things in the house.With so many valuable things, of course someone has to escort them.It was inconvenient for Tang Jide to leave, so Xiao Xiami got into a box without hesitation.

Tang Jide carefully packed the porcelain from the underground vault into boxes and stuffed them with foam.The two thick papers that wrapped the Tianqiu bottle had no effect, and he was still on the ground.

Out of professional habit, Robin glanced at the paper, but couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.He took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, lay down on the ground, and concentrated on observing the two crumpled papers.

The paper is full of sketch works, it should be some years old, the paper has been slightly yellowed.One of them has a lot of strange shapes painted on it, which looks like an airplane but is somewhat different; while the other one is more familiar to everyone.The imitation is a smiling lady.

"It looks like the smile of Mona Lisa?" Although Pheasant is not an expert in appraisal, he has seen the imitation of this oil painting, so he can see some clues from the sketch paper.

Robin was the most excited: "Da Vinci, this is Da Vinci's manuscript. It turns out that the legend is true. When Da Vinci drew the Mona Lisa, he really did draw the sketch first. Qian Zhen Indeed, this is indeed da Vinci's handwriting!"

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head. Of course he knew the name of this top master, but he felt a little embarrassed: he almost regarded the master's stuff as waste paper. If it spread, he would probably be scolded to death.

"These two sketches are more valuable than anything else!" Robin sighed. As a cultivated art thief, Da Vinci's works are his dream.

It's so valuable - Tang Jide hurriedly rolled up two pieces of paper carefully, and put them into the box containing small shrimps.Each of these masterpieces is worth tens of millions of dollars.

Of course, the economic value is secondary, and the most important thing is that the big brother is excited: Haha, China's national treasures have been exported to Europe and the United States, and they have been hyped up by you.Feng Shui turns around, this time we also got the works of Western art masters, sent them to the auction house, and slaughtered them fiercely, which can be regarded as a breath of anger!
Robin and the two workers on the car moved all the boxes of things into the car.The two porters also complained: "It's too heavy, it's full of gold!"

After the van drove away, Robin picked up his backpack, looked through it, and immediately changed his color: "Don, some things can belong to you, but some things are beyond your control."

Tang Jide said hey twice: "When we leave Great Britain, what should be yours still belongs to you."

Robin shrugged and had no choice but to accept his fate.Ever since he met Big Star and Pheasant, he has been unlucky.It's not a problem with his artistic accomplishment and technical level, the main reason is that the guys he met are too perverted——

After night fell, Tang Jide and his party left the house and found a small hotel to stay.The next day, according to Xiao Xiami's instructions before leaving, Tang Jide went to Lloyds Bank again to continue the negotiation.As can be imagined, Mr. Tang Jide was invited out again by a large group of security guards.

This time I went to the bank mainly to put on a show to excuse future investigations.For the rest of the time, Tang Jide didn't bother to argue with the bank. After Xiao Xiami returned, he started to wander around London, a city with a long history...

Great Russell Square, the British Museum, Tang Jide and his party wandered inside with the bustling crowd.Both Big Star and Pheasant were blocked, and Robin knew everything about the British Museum, and because of special reasons in the recent period, he didn't show up either.

"There are more than 600 million collections here, most of which are ancient Egyptian and Chinese cultural relics, and also include ancient cultural relics from India, Inca, and Southeast Asian countries. It is the museum with the longest history and the richest collection in the world." While visiting, He Tiantian side introduction.She was extremely envious: When will the Ocean Treasure Museum be able to compete with the British Museum?

Walking into the Museum of Oriental Art and Cultural Heritage, Tang Jide smacked his lips in front of a large number of literature booths in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang: "This is not a museum, it is simply a history of aggression from the empire on which the sun never sets—"

Xiao Xiami and He Tiantian nodded at the same time. Most of the cultural relics in the museum were looted.It is simply a history of naked aggression.

In front of an ancient picture of China, He Tiantian burst into tears.This is Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions for Women's History" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although it is not an authentic work by Gu Kaizhi, it is also a masterpiece copied by famous masters in the Tang Dynasty, basically retaining the style and appearance of the original work.Such a cultural relic, which can be regarded as a Chinese national treasure, was cut into two sections by the British Museum, and it was mottled and showed signs of falling off.In this situation, how could He Tiantian not shed tears.

The most regrettable thing is that foreigners don't understand the mounting of ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings at all, and they adopt Japanese-style mounting methods. As a result, they ruthlessly cut off the seals and inscriptions of famous people in the past dynasties on the paintings.

After listening to He Tiantian and Xiao Xiami talking about the situation of the painting intermittently, Tang Jide was also angry: "Xiao Xia, this painting must be returned to Zhao in its entirety!"

It is too difficult to steal cultural relics in the British Museum. Even a thief like Robin dare not try.Except for the loss of several Greek statues in 2002 due to the deficit and lack of security at the British Museum, there has been no history of theft in the past ten years.

"Uncle Big Tou, even if Banban comes in, he won't be able to take it away?" Little Xiami is also a little embarrassed, it's very easy to destroy this thing, and Banban's big Die only takes a minute.But how can such a Chinese treasure have the heart to destroy it?

The group went on and walked into the Egyptian Museum. Seeing that the mummies were all on display here, Tang Jide shook his head again: "It's not ashamed, but proud of it. It's a habit. If it was our Peach Blossom Island, we would soon Just ask for it at the door!"

He spoke in English, which attracted the sideways glances of the tourists, some with contempt and some with admiration.

"Sir, are you from the ancient country of China?" A middle-aged man wearing a turban walked up to Tang Jide. Judging from his appearance and attire, he should be a citizen of Egypt.

Tang Jide reached out his hand and shook the other party: "We in Huaxia have a saying that blood debt is paid with blood."

That vicissitudes-faced Egyptian was named Mubarak, and he firmly held Tang Jide's palm: "It is also a world-famous ancient country, and it has too much sorrow."

Tang Jide understands this very well. Compared with China, the ancient capital of Egypt is still in chaos.The whole of Egypt is a place where various forces compete.

From the Egyptian Pavilion to the Ancient Greek Pavilion, most of them are sculptures; in addition, we also walked to the ancient Rome and other venues. The more we walked, the more indignant everyone was.While works of art are pleasing to the eye, their origins are deeply distressing.

After spending a full day at the British Museum, everyone left here with mixed feelings.Mubarak always traveled with Don Jide and the others, and finally they simply stayed in the same hotel.

During dinner, Mubarak said with deep emotion: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the same truth from ancient times to the present."

This sentence also made the big brother feel the same, and there is a feeling of resentment for seeing this Mubarak.After asking, I found out that this Mr. Mubarak is a member of an organization in Egypt that specializes in recovering cultural relics. He travels between European and American countries all the year round to recover the cultural relics lost from the pyramids.

For this kind of person, Brother Big Tou admired him from the bottom of his heart, but he drank until midnight, knocking Mubarak unconscious, and then he gave up.

"Start to work, aim at the British Museum, first get the picture of female historians!" Tang Jide was also a little drunk, and he slapped his hands vigorously, and was about to march to the museum.

"No!" Robin hurriedly stopped him when he heard that, how could the British Museum be allowed to enter and exit at will.

Tang Jide flicked his brains on his head: "Your narrow nationalist thinking is not good. Great Britain can search from all over the world. Shouldn't people from all over the world be allowed to return their cultural relics?"

Robin smoothed her hair with her hands: "From a rational point of view, I definitely support your approach. But from a safety point of view, I don't agree with you taking risks!"

"Don't worry, Lloyds Bank's underground vaults are free to come and go, let alone the British Museum!" Tang Jide patted Robin on the shoulder, making the art thief grin.

Haw, chirp——Banban showed his head from Xiao Xiami's neckline, and he seemed very excited. He probably also felt that he would need to show his skills soon.

Tang Jide peeled off a piece of toffee and stuffed it into Banban's mouth: "Whether you can succeed or not depends entirely on you!"

Banban puffed his cheeks and waved his little paw vigorously.Seeing this, the pheasant began to chatter: "Big Mater is so confident, let's stage a museum night tonight!"

　Hehehe, please help!
