Big Dream Chase

"Did you... hear the sound of swords fighting, iron hoofs clashing, voices shouting, drums thundering...?"

"It's like stepping on the moon in the middle of the night, lurking beside you...and then waiting for the necessary moment..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking! Boss Su, you ask for a price! I can't keep this thing, how dare I accept it!"

The middle-aged man in a vintage mandarin jacket couldn't listen any longer, and stood up from his chair.

Beside him is a pair of Castiglione Castiglione's "Successful Picture of Pacifying the Zhunbu Huibu: Black Water Siege", which depicts the war in which the Qing army quelled the rebellion of the Junggar tribe and the Hui tribe in the Western Regions from the 20th to the 24th year of Qianlong.

The copperplate prints are exquisite in color, delicate in brushwork, and vivid in shape, fully showing the tension of the war.

Su Muyu was sitting opposite the man, savoring the cup of tea.He is wearing a Huanhua brocade Tang suit today, which is newly made, and he is very beautiful in his heart.The satin pattern is a combination of curved water patterns, wave patterns and falling flowers. The patterns are simple and simple, revealing indescribable solemnity and elegance.It was late spring, and the bustling outside the window was in full bloom, which contrasted nicely with the color of the clothes.

"Mr. Shang, where is it? You didn't say you were afraid to accept this thing at the beginning. I reminded you anyway. Although the victory map of Pingding Zhunbu and returning to the Ministry is very precious, don't... just take it randomly..."

Su Muyu sat up straight, as if Mr. Shang asked him to store this painting to force others to do so.

The complete set of pictures of "Pingding Zhunbu Huibu Victory" includes 16 copperplate prints and 18 texts.The text is the preface to the imperial title of Emperor Qianlong, poems and essays on battle pictures, etc.

Until the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied Beijing, all the treasures of Ziguang Pavilion were looted overseas by the invaders or destroyed in the war.

Most of this group of battle maps are scattered in museums, academic institutions, and private collections in various countries.The whereabouts of most of the original copper plates of the battle map are unknown.

This shows how scarce it is.At the Sotheby's Spring Auction, Shang always managed to hide this painting at an outrageous price, which is understandable.

Mr. Shang wiped the sweat from his forehead, he pursed his lips, recalling a series of supernatural events that happened at home in the middle of the night recently, his legs were weak.

In fact, before the auction of the picture of "Ping Ding Zhunbu Huibu Victory Picture: Black Water Siege", Su Muyu once said that this thing is evil, so don't buy it lightly.Originally, he planned to use this as a wake-up call, and when he was done with the work at hand, he hurried back to find the seller to collect it.

Unexpectedly, an unbelievable person came, and Boss Shang stepped in to win the love, causing Su Muyu to simply sit at home and wait for the "business" to come.

The picture of "Pingding Zhunbu Huibu Victory Picture: Black Water Siege" is also named by the organization. There are evil spirits hidden in this painting, and only the special personnel of the organization can recover it.Su Muyu has other tasks, and he is only responsible for getting things.

Mr. Shang waited very anxiously, Boss Su was famous for his psychological offensive and defensive warfare.He coughed lightly, and nuzzled his mouth: "Well... Boss Su, you see, this thing is a real thing. It's rare on the market now, but it's just... a bit evil. But you have a clever trick, right? This thing... hey-hey."

Su Muyu put down the teacup and looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes: "Mr. Shang, it's hard to say. There are evil spirits living in this painting. You businessmen more or less believe in Buddhism and Fengshui. My father-in-law If such a great god is put in the Yi Pavilion, should I still do business?"

"Then, then I have nothing to do! You are the only one in the circle who dares to accept it, and you are the only one. Help me, Boss Su, I really dare not keep my little temple!"

Mr. Shang was so anxious that he was afraid that Su Muyu would not agree.If he doesn't accept it, no one will dare to ask for it.Su Muyu was not in a hurry, and slowly spent time with him.

"According to Mr. Shang, are you sure you don't want it?"

"No, no, no."

"I'll pay the price?"

Mr. Shang paused and gritted his teeth: "Go!"

"Okay!" Su Muyu wanted this sentence. He picked up a black cloth from the table and put it on his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Shang.

This is to "determine the universe in the sleeve".

Boss Shang looked at Lian Ming who was sitting on the side, and understood Boss Su's intentions.Even though they are a family, the rules of the road still have to be followed, this is ironclad.

Mr. Shang hesitated for a moment, put his hand into the black cloth, and was pinched by Su Muyu.

Seeing the movement of the black cloth, Su Muyu changed his hands.Mr. Shang figured it out, his face darkened, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.Su Muyu smiled, "What about you?"

When the black cloth moved again, Mr. Shang offered his favorite price.Su Muyu shook his head calmly, gestured with his fingers inside, and gave the final asking price.Mr. Shang hesitated for a longer time, and after a while, he still shook his head unwillingly.

Su Muyu suddenly put on a bored expression, withdrew his hand coldly, and put the black cloth back on the table.

"Boss Shang is not willing. We won't do the forced business. Please go back."

Su Muyu lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes curled up one by one.As gentle as jade, it would be even better if she wasn't so indifferent.

Mr. Shang was in a hurry: "Boss Su, this, isn't this a forced purchase! When I took this item, you knew the price, and the price you gave was killing me!"

"The price you bid? You really have the nerve to mention it," Su Muyu smiled tepidly, "What did I say at the beginning, this thing is evil, don't take it. Okay, if you take it, don't say it, go to the pit yourself Litiao, do you blame others for not pulling you?"

"Mr. Shang, it's boring for a businessman to make it like this. I won't send it far away. Goodbye."

Su Muyu was determined not to accept it. Mr. Shang glanced at the paintings on the table, and finally resolutely sold the paintings: "I'll sell them! I will pay the price you bid! I can't keep this thing, you take it away. .”

Su Muyu curled her lips: "Don't, it feels like I'm coercing you. Mr. Shang, how about it, for the sake of regular customers, I'll give you another [-]% to make a friend."

Mr. Shang couldn't think of anything else, he was lucky to be able to send this painting out without any hassle.After the transaction was completed, he rushed out of the Su residence without looking back.I don't want to touch evil antiques anymore, what a pain.

Su Muyu sat on a chair, sipping tea seriously.It wasn't until Mr. Shang disappeared that he burst out laughing, clapping his hands on the table and shaking his head.

Lian Ming looked at him dotingly: "What was the final transaction price?"

"This number." Su Muyu pointed out two fingers and blinked slyly.Not at all the alienated and indifferent look just now.

"Tsk, profiteer and profiteer." Lian Ming stretched out his hand and nodded at him, "I remember Mr. Shang's initial transaction price was five times that price!"

"What's the matter with five times, I'm still soft-hearted. If it weren't for the organization's urging, I would have to spend time with him to see who can hold his breath." Su Muyu carefully put away the painting, and we will meet tonight Someone "comes to the door" to pick it up.

Lian Ming said: "Yes, you'd like it, Mr. Shang probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Come on, it's just him? I really can't sleep when this painting is here. I counted as saving people from fire and water."

Su Muyu stretched and stood up, Lian Ming walked to his side and put his arms around A Yu's waist.

Lian Ming bit his earlobe: "Is it time to pack your luggage?"

"Well, I have to clean up now. I have to leave for the land of Yongliang tonight."

Su Muyu was ticklish and turned his head away.

"Don't make trouble, I won't be able to go out for a while."

"If you can't go, don't go, hiss... I really miss you." Lian Ming buried his head in the socket of Su Muyu's shoulder, the whole big cat was sluggish, lazily relying on its master not to leave.

Su Muyu patted his head, gentle and helpless: "Come back soon, this mission won't be too long. Don't forget that there is only one month over there, and only three or five days here. You don't always say that I stop Are you staying up late, delaying your research? It just so happens that I am not at home, and no one cares about you. Stay up late as much as you want."

"I'm going, why does this sound so awkward," Lian Ming said, "Going to such a distant time, are you sure it's okay?"

"I've been to farther places, don't worry."

Su Muyu hugged Lian Ming, drawing circles with his hands on his back.

"Soon, I promise, be back soon."

That night, Su Muyu went to the airport with simple luggage.Lian Ming drove, nagging and nagging all the way, very much like marrying a daughter.Su Muyu was so annoyed by his reading, he simply waited for the red light and pressed the continuous beep to have a French kiss.

He kissed Lian Shao dizzy, and he still had a smirk on his face when he arrived at the airport.

"It's done, I'll send it here, and I have to go through the security check soon." Su Muyu pulled the boarding case, looked back at the flight information on the big screen, and said goodbye to Lian Ming.

At this moment, both of them were actually a little bit reluctant.But everything has been said, and there is no time for them to delay.Lian Ming took a deep breath, and slowly suppressed the boiling thoughts in his internal organs.

"Ayu, how about...I'll go with you."

"Didn't you agree that you won't go after that?" Su Muyu said, "I will come back as soon as possible, don't..."

Lian Ming hugged him violently.

People came and went in the airport, the crowd separated from them, and quickly gathered again.Su Muyu softened his attitude, he sighed, and patted Lian Ming on the back lightly.

"I will miss you, and I will come back soon."

Lian Ming hugged him tightly, and finally tightened his arms twice, as if he wanted to carve this feeling into his bones.

Lian Ming let go of Su Muyu, and took a step back: "Go through the security check, and call me when you get on the plane."

Su Muyu turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "I'm leaving."

Lian Ming waved his hand: "Go, don't delay the boarding time!"

It wasn't until Su Muyu passed the security check that Lian Ming could no longer see his back, so he wiped his face severely.This feeling is not good, every time A Yu turns and leaves, the feeling at that time will automatically surface.Like a crocodile lurking in the water, always ready to eat its flesh and blood, it showed its fangs.

Lian Ming walked out of the airport and sat on a bench near the green field. He waited until Su Muyu called him to say that he was about to take off, and then left alone.

Life is always like this, inadvertently pieced together by gatherings and partings.

Somewhere, the end is at hand.

When Su Muyu arrived in Yongliang, it was a quarter past ten, and specific personnel were sent from the airport to meet him.Soon, Su Muyu saw a sign with his name written on it among the bustling crowd.

Such a well-regulated way of receiving people is really tried and tested.

Su Muyu walked towards the man, and the other party obviously noticed him.

The man shook the sign in his hand: You?

Su Muyu nodded.

"I didn't expect the people from the Special Investigation Office to be so young," the man said. "My name is Gu Qing, from Yongliang Special Investigation. I won't go to the museum today, so let's take you to the hotel to rest."

Su Muyu got into his car, and while sending a message to Lian Ming, he talked to Gu Qing: "I'm not a special person, I came here on a temporary basis. You just need to understand."

Gu Qing glanced at him: "Soul comforter..."

"You know a lot." Su Muyu just finished sending the message, Lian Ming replied almost instantly.

—When it’s time to go to bed early, video before going to bed.

Su Muyu smiled.

-knew.

Gu Qing drove the car: "Not many, just coming and going. The people I met before were all elders, and there are very few people as young as you."

"Well, the new generation is making progress." Su Muyu teased a few words, "To save tomorrow's time, tell me directly. What's the current situation."

When talking about work, Gu Qing immediately became serious.He thought for a moment in his mind, and began to narrate in an orderly manner: "The first time Ma Tafeiyan disappeared in the museum, it was discovered at night. At first I thought it was an ordinary theft case, so the Ministry of Public Security immediately sent people to investigate, but anyone There are no clues."

"It automatically reappeared the next day?"

Su Muyu received it.

"Well, before the opening of the museum the next morning, Ma Tafeiyan appeared in the display cabinet without error. The security personnel were greatly surprised and called the police again, but again, there was no sign of being moved."

"Everyone thought they had an absurd dream last night, thinking that the cultural relics were not lost anyway, so they didn't bother to investigate further, and didn't even file a case. Unexpectedly, Ma Tafeiyan disappeared again late at night the next day. Everyone knew that this time was unusual, so they dispatched people from the special mediation office."

Su Muyu frowned, he felt that there were more and more crimes committed by evil spirits recently, and the cleaning day was approaching, so the "world" was really uneasy.

"When did it disappear?"

"Every night at 10:30." Gu Qing said, "Today is the fourth day, and now our director is guarding the museum to see if there are other events happening at the same time besides disappearing."

Su Muyu nodded: "That's fine, I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning. The museum will not be open recently, and don't reveal any rumors to the outside world."

Just as Gu Qing was about to continue to say something, suddenly the ground shook! "Crackling——", the moving vehicle suddenly braked on the spot!The two swayed forward with inertia, and were pulled back to their seats by the seat belts, hitting the back of their heads hard on the backrest!

"what's the situation?!"

Gu Qing was shocked.The surrounding scenery has changed, and black mist surrounds it.

Su Muyu stared straight ahead, he unbuckled his seat belt and gripped his phone tightly.The nervousness made Su Muyu purse his lips tightly. Gu Qing followed his line of sight and subconsciously squeezed the steering wheel tightly.

A handsome and tall war horse walked forward with its head held high, with a wreath hanging on its forehead shining brightly.There was a person sitting on the horseback, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dark, but he was also tall and straight, and he was a person.

As the sound of horseshoes approached, Su Muyu opened the car door to get out, but Gu Qing grabbed him.

"Don't act rashly!"

Su Muyu bent his lips and smiled, his eyes were like stars.

"Little Gu, what museum do you want to go to? It doesn't take much effort."
