C2987 Forty Landscapes of the Yuan Ming Yuan

This was the year of the dryad, which was the year when the dryad Emperor ascended the throne. She specially ordered the painter of the Forbidden City's Ru Yi Hall, Leng Mei, to paint the picture of the Yuan Ming Yuan according to the description of the thirty-six scenes depicted by Kang Xi's Summer Palace.

Although it was only forty years old, it still took a full eleven years to complete. It was clear that this wasn't an easy feat!

The value of this set of forty picture scrolls was not only due to its artistic value, but also because this was the only set in the world. The dryad did not allow it to be copied or even copied!

That was to say, this set of paintings was not very famous at the time. They were a typical collection of the royal family, and not many people in the public knew about them.

The Yuan Ming Yuan was a garden of the imperial family. Ordinary citizens were definitely not allowed to step foot there! Since he could not see the picture book nor the actual scene of the Yuan Ming Yuan, it did not matter if he had to create a fake one!

In fact, many of the painters and collectors did not even know that such a set of books existed!

At the end of the nineteenth century, the reputation of this set of paintings was not high, the real fame had to wait until the end of the twentieth century, because due to the photographic technique becoming more and more mature, high definition photographic technology started to be popularized.

It was discovered by a Chinese traveler in 1928 and brought back to China a black and white photographic negative.

In other words, until 1928, other than the seniors of the Beijing, the millions of citizens in China did not know what the legendary Yuan Ming Yuan looked like!

In 2004, China had spent millions of dollars to buy a color photographic copy of Yuan Ming Yuan's 40 scenes. Only then did people know how beautiful the colorful Yuan Ming Yuan was!

The left side of the Ghost Eye did not have the chance to see such a precious collection of the palace's treasures, but he knew that such a lone edition picture book existed in this world.

Even though he had never seen it before, he had seen his disciple, Man Shun, before.

Ten years ago, Man Shun had just entered the palace, and his memory was at its peak. The few scenes he drew were extremely classic, and it could be said that the left side of his ghost eye was photographic!

Today, this Ghost Eye Magistrate with 2.0 eyesight accidentally saw someone in the Suez Canal drying the picture book. Based on his rich experience, he concluded that this was the real item and it was definitely not fake!

The left side was very sure, because he was very clear that this set of paintings did not have any counterfeit goods. This was because almost all the counterfeiters in Great Qing had never heard of this set of paintings before, not even those experts of the capital, who had copied the fake paintings, had heard of it!

Who could fake a 'non-existent' Famous Painting? Therefore, what this ship was drying was definitely the real deal!

And this ship had a British flag, so there was only one conclusion. In order to ensure their safety, the galley had secretly forged the identity certificate of the ship, and had even changed to a British flag in an attempt to get away with it!

Don't look at how the Ghost Eye left side was kidnapped in the beginning. He was extremely unhappy about it, but when CIA told him his real intentions, his heart was already shaken.

Xiao Letian had once met the left of the Ghost Eye before, and the leader had also bought some antiques from him!

Because of this little bit of fate, the Head of the Guards asked Ghost Eye to come to Europe to appraise the treasures. However, the CIA had very strict rules and did not directly speak out with the left pumilus, which was why they had clashed with him!

The Chinese Army raised his head and the Leader wanted to snatch back the legendary treasures of the Chinese people!

There was no need to mention how infuriated they were. Six of them had already passed the Ryukyu and were no longer angry, but they were only angry at the Head of the Guards.

All along the way, all the officials of CIA had become wives who had been subjected to humiliation. Even if their food was not tasty, they would still be taught a lesson.

Passing Singapore, which was the Singapore of the future generations, the manager of the local CIA contacted Hangzhou and told them to hurry to Suez Canal. There was a boat full of treasures that the French Emperor had given to the Great Qing!

The leader's order was very resolute. No matter the price, he must eat this ship's treasure and be completely silent!

As for these six master players, their mission was to verify the authenticity of the treasure!

Hangzhou changed its schedule as soon as it received the order. It no longer had the time to resupply itself along the way. Everyone was living off of canned food. The water on the ship could only be drunk, not washed.

They were supposed to be replenishing their resources in the Sri Lanka or India, but in order to chase after time, they didn't stop at all, relying on their meagre supplies to cross the entire Indian Ocean!

He had been tormenting the people on the left side of the road, eating or drinking nothing, washing his face or taking a bath, and even encountered a typhoon along the way. He was tormenting himself until he almost vomited!

Luckily, the ship survived the crossing of the Indian Ocean, and finally arrived safely in Egypt!

When the Suez Canal first opened up the navigation system, it was a narrow one-way canal. The width of the canal only allowed one ship to pass through.

If one wanted to pass through this canal efficiently, they would have to rely on the coordination of the telegraph line along the way.

When the fifty ships had all come out, they would enter the canal from the south as planned!

On one hand, Hangzhou was recuperating at Suez Port to recuperate the bodies of the crew members, and on the other hand, was waiting for the ships coming down from the north to enter the Red Sea one by one.

It was only during this rehab that left pumilus found out that the Jia Lai merchant ship did not appear. It was four days later than scheduled, and it still did not appear!

Many people even wondered if the ship had temporarily changed its route and gone around to the Cape.

Thinking about the value of that boat of treasure, for safety's sake, let alone circling around the corner of the, even if they had to go around South America Continent, it was still possible!

Everyone began to worry, especially when the people on the left side began to discuss with the other examiners. After everyone began to guess at how precious the treasures were, they could no longer control their emotions.

The mission this time was far too important. If they could not even carry out the death command given by the leader, then there was a chance that a few of the leaders of CIA would have to drink themselves to death!

However, he never would have thought that he would be able to obtain it so effortlessly even if he had to look for it with his worn-out shoes!

Just as the Hangzhou was about to enter the canal, the last cargo ship that entered the Red Sea from the north to south of the canal was suddenly exposed!

The Yuan Ming Yuan's 40 maps were actually being dried on the deck. If he still could not guess it, the left side of the Ghost Eye would really go blind!
