Chapter 2280 Yuan Blue and White Flowers Turned Out
At around four o'clock in the morning, everything was quiet, and there was not a single person on the street.
The small city of Tomar is still sleeping, and the beautiful and amazing historical buildings in the city, as well as the Tomar Castle standing high on the top of the mountain, are all shrouded in darkness.
In the luxury suite of the best hotel in the city, the lights are brightly lit at this time.
Every window in this luxurious suite has thick curtains drawn, not much light comes through, and it doesn't look too obtrusive in the dark.
In the living room of the suite, Ye Tian, David and the others were sitting on the sofa, looking at the laptop screen on the coffee table. Everyone was full of energy, and there was no sign of fatigue.
On the coffee table in front of them, there were still several cups of fragrant coffee, and the rich aroma wafted throughout the living room.
In Hong Kong, which is thousands of miles away, it is already a sunny morning. On a relatively remote tarmac of Hong Kong International Airport, a heavyweight antique art transaction is going on.
To be precise, this is just a process of identification and handover, and the protagonists of both parties to the transaction are not present.
What Ye Tian and the others were looking at was the video from the parking lot in Hong Kong.
In another hotel not far away, the old man in the mountains of the Assassin faction and his assistants are also paying attention to this heavyweight transaction being carried out at Hong Kong Airport.
"You kid can't do magic, right? Ye Tian, where did you get so many blue and white flowers? And each one is a national treasure. What's more, these blue and white flowers have never appeared before!
This batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain should be exported porcelain, very similar to the batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain from Topkapi Palace in Turkey, its exquisiteness is no less than those Yuan blue and white porcelain from Topkapi Palace, and even more outstanding.”
In the video, Old Shan from the Forbidden City said excitedly, almost dancing.
At this time, many top antique art appraisal experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum are helping Ye Tian to appraise the top Chinese antique art that the Assassins sent to Hong Kong to trade with him.
When these old men saw those top Chinese antique works of art, they were all stunned and exclaimed directly.
Especially those Yuan blue-and-white porcelains that are extremely exquisite, well-preserved, and have never appeared in front of the world, the shocking effect is even stronger.
So much so that these old men are a little suspicious, whether they are dazzled or hallucinating!
Why did such a batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain suddenly appear in the world, and each piece is a high-quality product, which can be called a national treasure. Why have I never heard of it.
As soon as Shan Lao's voice fell, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Shan Lao, you have never seen these exquisite Yuan blue and white porcelains, it is normal, because before today, this batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain had never appeared in the antique art market at all.
In fact, since the 1430s, you are the first Chinese to see these Yuan blue and white porcelain, very lucky, even I have only seen pictures”
"Hey——! It seems that we are here this time, and we will definitely feast our eyes! Tell me about the origin of these Yuan blue and white flowers. Where did they come from? Why didn't they appear in the past hundreds of years?"
Old Shan exclaimed, with an exaggerated expression.
Immediately afterwards, several other old men standing beside also expressed a few words of emotion. Everyone was extremely excited, and their eyes were shining brightly.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then began to introduce the origin of this batch of Yuan blue and white flowers.
"These people who trade with me belong to a famous assassin organization that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Assassin faction. This organization is mainly active in the Middle East, Arab regions, Europe and the United States."
"I've heard of this mysterious assassin organization. It was also mentioned in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. I didn't expect you to be connected to such a snake-like organization. Be careful!"
Shan Lao nodded and said, his expression could not help but dignified a bit.
"Don't worry, I am friends with the Assassin faction, not enemies. This is a fair deal that you like and I want, and there is no danger. Besides, the person who can hurt me may not have been born yet." !"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was firm and full of confidence.
Immediately afterwards, he returned to the topic.
"In the Middle Ages, Hulagu, one of the four great Khanates of Mongolia and the founder of the Ilkhanate, almost uprooted the Assassins and killed all the Assassins, implicating the nine tribes.
As a result, the two sides formed a deep hatred, and the Assassin faction and the Ilkhanate became endless enemies.
The Assassins attacked many caravans of the Ilkhanate, including caravans between the Ilkhanate and the Yuan Dynasty, and also attacked many princes, ministers, dignitaries, etc. of the Ilkhanate.
In the process, they grabbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, exquisite porcelain, and various other things, etc. Except for the gold and silver treasures, other things that were not easy to realize were hidden.
Among them is this batch of exquisite Yuan blue-and-white porcelain. It is entirely conceivable that these Yuan blue-and-white porcelain were bought by a caravan just after they were fired, and they were going to be shipped to the Ilkhanate thousands of miles away.
Who would have imagined that they would be ransacked by the Assassin faction on the way, and have since disappeared into history. Until today, it can be seen from the decorative style of these Yuan blue and white patterns that these are all exported porcelains!
After a long history of more than seven or eight hundred years, many of the items hidden by the Assassins at the beginning have disappeared, and there are only a few left, even fewer Chinese antiques.”
Hearing this, an old man from Guobo suddenly said:
"No wonder we have never seen this batch of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. It turns out that they were all porcelain exported to the Ilkhanate during the Yuan Dynasty, and they have been hidden all the time. Naturally, no one has seen them."
Ye Tian nodded slightly, and continued to say:
"Historically, the Assassins have made countless enemies, and the Knights Templar is one of their life-and-death enemies. A pair of important tokens of the Assassins fell into the hands of the Knights Templar during the Middle Ages.
When Portugal explored the treasure this time, we found a treasure hidden by the Knights Templar. The pair of tokens from the Assassins happened to be in the treasure, and then fell into my hands.
When I was in Berlin before, the contemporary mountain old man of the Assassins had approached me and entrusted us to find this pair of tokens. According to their research, this pair of tokens is likely to be in the treasure of the Knights Templar.
At that time, I proposed that if the pair of tokens were found, the Assassin faction would need to exchange some top-level Chinese antique artworks of comparable value, which is why this antique artwork transaction came into being.
This time we not only discovered the tokens of the Assassins, but also found a lot of medieval Arab antiques, and they were all top-notch items. I selected some of them for trading.
This is a win-win transaction. Through this transaction, I have exchanged all the top Chinese antique artworks accumulated in the hands of the Assassins, which is what you all see."
The voice fell, and there was another exclamation from the other end of the video.
"Hey——! You really have supernatural powers, you can meet all kinds of ghosts and snakes, and you can't escape your tricks, so you can't do it without admiration!"
"I have to say, Ye Tian, the deal you made is really worth it. The appearance of this batch of Yuan blue and white heavy wares will definitely cause a huge sensation in the domestic antique industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an earthquake!
The return of this batch of Yuan blue and white heavy wares is of great significance. If we want to appreciate or study Yuan blue and white in the future, we don’t have to travel all the way to England and Turkey. We have them at home! "
Hearing these words, Ye Tian suddenly smiled brighter, looking forward to flying.
"The work of appraising this batch of Yuan blue and white porcelain and other antique works of art is up to you all. You must help me check it out. Don't be fooled by others. I will thank you all when I return to Beijing in a while.
In addition to this batch of exquisite Yuan blue and white flowers, there are many priceless treasures in this batch of top Chinese antique works of art, including the seal bestowed by Kublai Khan on the second Great Khan of the Ilkhanate, Abaha.
The square seal of "The Treasure of Fuguo Anmin" is famous in history. Its appearance is enough to show that in the 13th and 14th centuries, the Mongol Empire had a strong presence in the Arab region of the Middle East, which is of great research value! "
Not surprisingly, as soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, there was an almost crazy exclamation from the other end of the video screen.
"Fang Yin, the treasure of Fuguo Anmin! Did I hear you right? Ye Tian, you got that priceless treasure back! You're really crazy!"
"We have only seen this square seal in a few leftover inks left by the Il Khanate, but we did not expect it to be preserved until now. This discovery is really amazing!
What you said is absolutely right, Ye Tian, the appearance of this square seal can strongly prove that from the 13th century to the 14th century, the Ilkhanate was indeed a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty! "
After some exclamation, these top antique art appraisal experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum really got into work and began to appraise those top Chinese antique art, one by one scrambling to be the first.
And Ye Tian, who was thousands of miles away, also began to identify those national treasure-level antique artworks one by one through the high-definition video screen, so as to be safe.
On this batch of top Chinese antique artworks, the Assassins did not play any tricks. All the antique artworks were seen by Ye Tian on video materials, and each piece was genuine.
The subsequent appraisal and handover work went very smoothly without any trouble.
The handover was completed in less than an hour and the result was very satisfactory.
Immediately afterwards, those guys from the Assassin faction withdrew and flew directly back to Iran on the chartered plane when they came.
About an hour later, the Air China charter plane, full of top Chinese antiques and receiving personnel, roared off the runway of Hong Kong International Airport and flew straight to Beijing.
