Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2219 Looting the Hermitage

The Hermitage Museum is located in the exhibition area of ​​the Thousand Buddha Hall of Middle East Asia on the third floor of the Winter Palace.

Accompanied by Mikhail and others, Ye Tian and the others are visiting this exhibition hall, admiring the many Chinese antique artworks displayed here.

And at the entrance of this exhibition hall, Bijia personally led two agents of the Russian Federal Security Service, staring at Ye Tian and the others from a distance, not daring to leave even a single step.

The episode in the parking lot just now is over, and Beja didn't find any evidence that Ye Tian or his armed security personnel left the hotel last night and killed those German Sina cui scum in the dark.

But Bija knew in his heart that the bloody massacre on the Neva River last night was most likely caused by Ye Tian, ​​although he didn't know how he did it.

After that, Bi Jia led people to follow closely behind Ye Tian and the others, never leaving.

For this kind of situation, Ye Tian and the others have long been accustomed to it, and they didn't take it seriously at all. The close tracking of these Russian agents did not affect their interest in visiting at all.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had come to two bulletproof glass showcases side by side, stopped here, and looked at the two antique cultural relics placed in these two glass showcases.

These are two clay animal statues. To be more precise, they are two guardian animal sculptures from the Tang Dynasty in China that were unearthed in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. They are carved with two suanni with fierce and majestic eyes.

The two statues of suanni displayed in the bulletproof glass showcase are about 90 centimeters high and basically the same shape and size. They both squat on the ground with their heads held high, with one head tilted to the left and the other to the right.

Because they are clay statues with a long history, and because of the oxidation when they were unearthed, the colors on the two suanni sculptures have disappeared, revealing the mud tires underneath, and there are still many cracks on the mud tires.

However, this does not affect the exquisiteness of the two sculptures, nor does it affect their huge cultural and artistic value, but adds a lot of vicissitudes of history.

Moreover, the sculptures of these two suanni are very vivid, with ferocious faces, as if they want to choose someone to devour, which will make people terrified at first glance.

Standing in front of the two bulletproof glass showcases and admiring them for a while, Ye Tian pointed to the two sculptures in the showcases and said firmly:

"Mikhail, these two guardian beast sculptures from the Tang Dynasty in China and from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang must be included in the list of Chinese antiques for the exchange of the Amber Room, and they must not be missing.

Needless to say, I really like these two guardian beast sculptures,

I want to keep them in my pocket, and I want them to be displayed in my private museum in the future, that's where they belong.”

Hearing this, the faces of Mikhail standing beside him, as well as several other high-level figures of the Hermitage Museum and experts in the identification of antique works of art, all changed and became very ugly.

As for Sergey, Vasily, and several other Russian government officials, they were all at a loss. They did not understand the true value of the two sculptures of Dharma protectors from the Tang Dynasty.

But these guys are not stupid. From Ye Tian's decisive tone and the drastic changes in the faces of Mikhail and the others, they can deduce that these two clay sculptures are definitely worth a lot.

Although David and the others couldn't understand the two sculptures of guardian beasts, they were very sure that the antique cultural relics that Ye Tian would like and were bound to get must be priceless treasures.

After the voice fell, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Mikhail.

After pondering for a while, Mikhail gritted his molars and said:

"Steven, you bastard is really greedy to the extreme. You are definitely the craziest and most greedy guy I have ever seen. It is a hundred times more than the rumors. I have opened my eyes today.

The smiling Buddha head, the ancient painting from the Five Dynasties period in China, and the two sculptures of Dharma guardian beasts from the Tang Dynasty, every antique cultural relic you have selected is a priceless treasure!

In particular, this pair of guardian animal sculptures from the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as one of the treasures of the Oriental National Culture Department of the Hermitage Museum, which is of great historical research value and high artistic value.

I can see it, you guys are planning to wipe out the essence of the Chinese antique art collection in the Department of Oriental National Culture of our museum, isn't it too rude to do so? "

When Mikhail said these words, several other high-level officials of the Hermitage Museum and experts in the appraisal of antiques and artworks all stared at Ye Tian with gritted teeth, wishing they could rush up and beat him up.

At this time, Ye Tian always had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"You're right, Mikhail, each of the Chinese antique works of art I selected just now is worth a lot, if not, how could I have taken a fancy to them?

The reason why I agreed to make a deal with your museum, exchanging such a rare treasure as the Amber Room for the Chinese antiques in the Hermitage Collection, is because of these treasures.

If your museum does not have these Chinese antiques, I will not exchange the Amber Room. For me, this has nothing to lose, and it may be a better choice.

Each of you is very clear about the significance of the Amber Room to Russia and its great value, otherwise you would not agree to make a deal with me and rush to take back the Amber Room.

You can also regret it. It is still too late. The choice is in your hands. If you regret it, then we will break up. We will treat this trip to St. Petersburg as a tourist! "

Hearing this, the faces of all the Russians at the scene changed, becoming more dignified and uglier.

As Ye Tian said, each of them knew very well what the Amber Room meant to Russia.

It is the historical evidence of the most glorious period of the Russian Empire, the glory of the Russian Empire, and the most cherished national treasure of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Whatever you say, you have to win it!

Ye Tian glanced at these Russians, and then continued to say:

"Furthermore, among the few Chinese antique works of art I picked out, which one is the best one? The smiling Buddha head and the two sculptures of guardian beasts all come from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.

They were stolen by the Russian Oldenburg from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang at the beginning of the last century. Besides, the ancient painting from the Five Dynasties period was snatched by the Russian army from the Summer Palace when the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied Beijing.

This is undeniable, right? In this regard, these few Chinese antique works of art should not be in the Hermitage Museum at all, but should be collected in a museum in China.

Of course, the Amber Room in my hand was looted from St. Petersburg by the Nazi German army, but now it belongs to me, and now we don't care about these, just discuss how to deal.

Compared with the huge value of the Amber Room, the value of these Chinese antique artworks I have selected is much lower, and I will continue to select them until the value of both sides reaches a balance.”

"Ah! Did I hear you right? You're still not satisfied, and you still want to keep picking? Could it be that you really plan to loot all the fine Chinese antique art from the Oriental Culture Department of our museum?"

Mikhail exclaimed uncontrollably, his teeth were almost gritted in hatred, and his eyes shot out fire.

"That's right! That's what my buddy intends to do! Sweep out all the Chinese antique art collections of the Department of Oriental Culture of the Hermitage Museum, and get them all in the bag!"

Ye Tian said to himself, a murderous look flashed in his eyes at the same time.
