C3404 Are you for real or fake? (1/2)
Are you real or fake?
Zuo Zongtang's eyes were like hooks as they stared at the people in the room. Fan Jin, the manager and the left pumilus, had already stood up to serve them. Only was still holding onto his wine cup and remained staring at the flawless jade on the table.
”Beautiful, so beautiful …” Mr. Zuo, what do you think is the best shape to carve? ”
”Haha, that depends on how His Majesty is prepared to use it. There must be a use for them to be valuable! ”
”That's right, you're right …” What if I were to bestow it on an official? ”
”Simple. Just carve a statue of a marquis. A monkey is sitting on the back of a fine horse. This is the most auspicious thing about it …”
”Aiyo!” What if I gift it to the prince of Great Qing? ”
”That's a little special. If you lack a son, then carve a pomegranate grape for him. If you lack a woman, then carve a western beauty. If you have ambitions, then carve a five clawed jade dragon for him …”
”Aiyo, a five clawed jade dragon? Isn't he trying to rebel? ”
”Haha, your Majesty is feigning ignorance by pretending so clearly. There aren't many people in this world who want to rebel, let's see if there's a chance …”
This naked disregard made Zuo Zongtang very angry. He coldly snorted, ”Who are you showing this Western Mirror to? Give Me... ”Sorry, my eyes have been blurry for a long time, and I haven't read the script for a play …”
”Tell me the purpose of your visit!” Master Zuo sat across Shang Tai.
Shang Tai glanced at him and laughed lightly: ”If this piece of jade was given to the great marshal, what do you think the Ghost Eye should carving?”
”Hidden Dragon!” In the layers of clouds, only the head of a dragon and a claw of a dragon could be seen. This is the best! ”
”Enough! Xiao Letian is so full right now? Several tens of thousands of li from the East Sea to Jinzhou? If he's willing to be some bullsh * t hidden dragon, I won't care about him being a dragon! ”
After saying that, Zuo Zongtang waved his hand, and slowly rubbed it. More than ten black-clothed men jumped down from the rooftop. Each of them had drawn their swords as they stared at the group of people like tigers eyeing their prey.
The caravan guards in the room immediately pulled out the portable costal deviation short blades, and the two sides started to confront each other.
”King Shang Tai? What do you say? ”Take out the evidence …”
Shang Tai had also seen waves in the four seas before, so he calmly waved his hand and the carefully chosen CIA and guards sheathed their swords.
”There's no need to be so hostile. If Marshal Zuo wanted to kill us, he wouldn't have used a knife at all. Killing people in this era is easy to do with pistols …”
”The Führer and I parted ways in the Suez Canal. Deep in Egypt, under the pursuit of the French garrison, we dug up two ancient Egyptian tombs and made over ten thousand treasures … I even encountered quite a few strange incidents … ”
”Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. That's another story …”
”Seven months ago, I received a secret message from the British from the Head of the Guards. I did not dare to delay my journey and directly packed up my bags before returning to Suez. I waited for Mr. Zuo and the other members to return together at Suez Port.”
”It's a whole seven months. We didn't rest for seven months and took a boat from the Middle East all the way to Shanghai, then traversed the entire Great Qing to Lanzhou …”
”Ai …” He had been worn out from the journey for more than half a year and thought that the marshal would be the host, yet he received such a scene … It truly makes one's heart feel cold! ”
Shang Tai chatted for a bit, but his words were filled with bitterness. From the look of his face, it could be seen that the storm in the Egyptian desert was really strong.
On the other hand, Ghost Eye left for Europe with one goal in mind, to help Xiao Letian collect the cultural relics that were lost in China.
