Those are the only people who know the truth. No matter who spreads the gossip, this is somewhat to take care of the Li family's face.
Since neither of the two old men told the truth, it was inconvenient for me to tell the truth.
"It's okay not to mention it."
The seafood was served in a timely manner, and round tables were filled one after another, and a lot of barbecue and other dishes were also served. Naturally, the two ladies couldn't eat much, so it was basically divided between the four men.
"Master Li, we plan to invest a total of 30 million in the catering company. Shibin will invest 2 million for fun, and Yanxin will invest 3 million. How much do you want to invest in the rest?"
"If you want to do a good job in your career, you will control it. Whatever you pay, Sirui and I will share the rest."
"Young Master Li still understands me. How about I pay 10 million, and you and Sirui each pay 7.5 million?"
"I'm OK."
Qin Sirui also nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Mo took out a few pieces of paper from his bag: "Look, everyone, they are all pretty good dishes that I have eaten all these years while traveling around. When I find a time, I will show you some of them, and you can all try a few to try out the taste." .”
"Can you cook?"
Li Yanxin was a little surprised.
"I learned my cooking skills from my dad. He is very good as a chef, but now he is mainly focusing on promoting Chen Style Baji Quan."
"Then we'll be waiting for you to show off your cooking skills. Come on, let's drink to our little business."
Halfway through the seafood hotpot, Niu Sanpang asked Li Mo if he would be free to attend the autumn auction on the 10th. According to him, small leaks sometimes occur at auctions, which are more convenient than hunting for treasures in the market.
Li Mo was still very interested in this, but thinking that the military training time coincided with the conflict, he said with a bit of regret: "There is a conflict in the schedule, I can't make it this time, but I can participate in the spring auction next year."
It was already nine o'clock in the evening after the seafood hotpot was over. Li Mo returned to the Beijing University apartment building and fell asleep quickly after taking a shower. Although he drank beer, his resistance to alcohol was really weak. After two glasses of beer, he felt dizzy.
Early in the morning on the second day of school, Li Mo received a text message on his mobile phone, telling him to meet in a certain classroom at three o'clock in the afternoon. It was the first time that his classmates met.
After he washed up, he hurried to the cafeteria to buy some breakfast. After eating and drinking, he went into the Beijing University Library. There is still a part of the historical records of the Qin and Han Dynasties that he has not finished reading. Today he plans to focus on selecting a few famous people to read.
Near noon, Li Mo received an urgent call from Professor Wu, asking him to come to the office immediately. He had made a major discovery.
When Li Mo rushed to the office, more than a dozen people had gathered inside. They were talking one after another, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Li Mo, come here quickly and take a look at the contents of this "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Xiang Yu"."
Li Mo saluted and greeted everyone present. Everyone who knew him smiled, and everyone else looked at him with curious eyes. Li Mo's reputation has only spread among some people, so many people still don't know his origins.
Taking the book handed over by Professor Wu, he looked at it carefully. It was recorded in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" that because Xiang Liang committed a murder, Xiang Yu took refuge with him in Wuzhong, and they lived in the Kuaiji area (now Shaoxing) .
At that time, they lived in seclusion in Xiangli Village, and under the protection of local villagers, they secretly gathered strength and recruited troops. Valley altar
Soon they recruited 8,000 Jiangdong disciples to train troops near Xiangli Village. Xiang Yu cast twelve-sided gold gongs to train the soldiers. Before raising his troops, Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to bury these twelve golden gongs on the mountain overnight in order to repay the people of Xiangli Village.
"Professor Wu, do you suspect that my giant gong is actually one of these twelve-sided golden gongs?"
Li Mo was a little surprised that the thing he bought was actually related to Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of Western Chu in history.
"Look at these contents again."
Professor Wu turned the computer screen around so that Li Mo could see clearly the retrieved documents.
This is a local chronicle series published in Shaoxing. The book contains more detailed records of Xiang Yu and the twelve-sided golden gong.
The book writes: In order to seek refuge, Xiang Yu was sheltered by the villagers of Xiangli. After that, Xiang Yu recruited 8,000 people from Jiangdong to train troops nearby, and made twelve-sided golden gongs to teach fighting and practice martial arts. These twelve-sided gold gongs are exquisitely crafted and unique. Made of 80% gold and 20% brass respectively, the gong is as big as a wheel, has a loud and clear sound, and has twelve zodiac signs on the back. It is expensive.
In this local chronicle, the words "cast in gold and brass, with the twelve zodiac signs on the back" are highlighted, which has a certain connection with the giant gong in Li Mo's hand.
"Professor Wu, is there any other information?"
"Of course there is. Look, there is a saying in the local chronicles that 'a gong is as big as a wheel.' In the unearthed examples of chariots and horses from the Qin Dynasty, the maximum diameter of the wheels can reach 1.4 meters. This is basically consistent with the data you provided. So after discussion, we all feel that the antique in your hand is very close to Xiang Yu’s twelve-sided golden gong recorded in the history books.”
Professor Wu was a little excited. He said with hot eyes: "Xiao Mo, if we can really confirm that the giant gong is actually one of the twelve-sided golden gongs, then the problems involved will be very big. Because the twelve-sided golden gong and Xiang Yu It is related to the treasure. It is said that Xiang Yu’s treasure may contain all the gold, silver and jewels that Qin conquered the six kingdoms.”
The Qin State plundered the wealth of the six countries. At that time, Guanzhong gathered the most precious and rare treasures in the world.
"According to Li Daoyuan's record in "Shui Jing. Commentary on the Wei River": 'Xiang Yu entered the pass and dispatched it, with 300,000 people, and he could not run out of supplies in 30 days.'"
Professor Wu's voice was trembling, which showed how surging his mood was. He continued: "This record says that it took 300,000 people to move the treasure Xiang Yu obtained for thirty days. Although the record is suspected of exaggeration, But I can still imagine how much treasure Xiang Yu plundered from Qin."
Li Mo swallowed. He was a little dumbfounded. Why was he related to Xiang Yu Baobao again?
"Li Mo, can you transport the antique to Kyoto immediately? We at Kyoto University will be your strongest support and invite experts from all over the world to discuss and identify it?"
Professor Wu asked with expectation, and others nodded, as if the ancient object Li Mo bought was one of the legendary twelve-sided golden gongs. Once it is true, the legendary Xiang Yu treasure will no longer be illusory. legend.
If they can decipher these two thousand years of legends in their lifetime, they will all be remembered throughout history.
"Professor Wu, military training starts tomorrow. I don't have time."
Professor Wu slapped the table and said, "How can such a trivial matter delay something important? I'm going to say hello. Your teacher, Professor Zhu, hasn't returned to Beijing yet. I'll contact him later and ask him to come back as soon as possible."
At this time, another professor suggested: "Let the Beijing University security team follow us back and provide security throughout the process. In addition, although this matter has not been confirmed yet, it is of great importance. I think it is necessary to say hello to the leaders of the hospital and the school first. "
"Classmate Li Mo, you rush back to the Magic City today and transport the antique directly to the Kyoto National Museum tomorrow. There is a treasure vault over there."
Li Mo was a little depressed. He just arrived in Kyoto yesterday and would go back today and come back tomorrow. He was not in a hurry, but these professors were almost anxious.
In fact, from the inside, Li Mo still felt a little unreliable, but various clues showed that the antique in his hand really had a lot to do with the twelve-sided golden gong.
