"Mr. Pan?!" Seeing Mr. Pan and Che Juan walking in the door, He Qing immediately stepped forward to greet them and greeted them enthusiastically, "Why are you free to come here today?"
Pan Lao laughed and said: "Brother He, didn't you ask me to decipher the bird seal left on that bronze vessel for you? I finally got it!"
"Those three sets of bird seal scripts have been deciphered?!" Hearing this, not only He Qing was shocked, but Lin Haitao, who followed closely, also looked at Mr. Pan in surprise. They thought this matter was far from that simple.
It will take some time to solve the mystery of the bronze tripod. Who knew that the other party would bring the news so quickly, and judging from his happy look, it must be good news, at least it can prove that it is indeed a bronze artifact from the Warring States Period.
Yes, compared to the bronzes from the Han Dynasty, those from the Warring States Period are certainly more valuable.
When he attended the auction in Tianyun Mountain, He Qing paid 1.5 million for the Yi tripod, which he dated as a Warring States bronze ware based on "Baoguang", and took it down the mountain to show it to Pan Laoyi, an expert on bronze ware research.
The value of the thing immediately increased greatly, because Mr. Pan could basically determine that it was an exquisite bronze from the Warring States Period, so there was no doubt that He Qing had picked it up.
It's just that the three sets of strange characters left on the foot of the bronze tripod are difficult to decipher. Once deciphered, its value may be even higher.

"Mr. Pan and Miss Che, please take a seat first." He Qing quickly greeted Mr. Pan and the others, and quickly walked over to prepare tea.
After serving a pot of fragrant hot tea, He Qing asked with a smile: "Mr. Pan, what's the result?"
He couldn't wait to know the result. According to what Mr. Pan had speculated before, if the characters left on the bronze tripod could prove that it was used by a famous person in the Warring States Period, such as the "Yue King Goujian Sword", then the value would be
It's different.
Only Pan Lao replied in a clear and precise manner: "According to our research, those three sets of bird seal scripts indeed conform to the characteristics of similar characters during the Warring States Period. The key is that we have deciphered the true meaning of those characters."
"Oh?! What's the background?!" Hearing Mr. Pan's serious words, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Pan Lao continued: "We have determined that the bronze Yi was used by a general in the Warring States Period. That general was very famous!"
"'General's Cauldron'?!" He Qing was shocked and said, "Mr. Pan, which general used that?"
Pan Lao replied: "Li Mu, General Li Mu!"
"Li Mu?!" He Qing couldn't help exhaling. He was familiar with historical knowledge and knew that Li Mu was a famous general of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. Together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Lian Po, he was known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period".
If that tripod was indeed used by Li Mu, it would be really extraordinary. Li Mu is so famous. His relics that have been verified by history are naturally extremely precious, and their historical research significance and collection value are immeasurable.
"I don't know if Li Mu has used it." Mr. Pan replied solemnly, "But the bronze tripod was indeed his at the beginning, and was given to him by King Zhao. You should know clearly that Li Mu was a member of the Warring States Period after studying history.
He is the 'victorious general'. He has never lost a battle in his life, and he has won many battles, and his achievements in expelling the Xiongnu in the desert are even more remarkable! At that time, he was highly valued by King Zhao, and King Zhao rewarded him when he returned from the victory.
It’s perfectly normal to have auspicious objects like drinking vessels.”
"Mr. Pan, are you sure?" He Qing asked in a deep voice.
"Of course it's confirmed!" Mr. Pan nodded vigorously. "We have deciphered the meanings of those three groups of bird seals."
"What's the special meaning?" He Qing asked curiously.
Pan Lao said: "The general meaning of the three groups of bird seal scripts is this, 'Expelling the Xiongnu, the victorious general, Li Mu uses the tripod'."
The three groups of strange bird seal characters were deciphered into three groups of words, each group of four characters, for a total of twelve characters.
"It's amazing!" He Qing and Lin Haitao exclaimed in unison.
"Brother He, congratulations. The origin of your bronze tripod is not simple, it is priceless!" Mr. Pan expressed his congratulations to He Qing.
"Thank you." He Qing quickly thanked him, "Mr. Pan, thank you so much! If it weren't for your help, I would have been helpless with those three sets of bird seals! Now that the symbols have been deciphered, the bronze tripod is not
The mystery is solved, and I feel relieved! Mr. Pan, Miss Che, are you free this afternoon? I would like to treat you to a meal and say thank you."
Pan Lao shook his head hurriedly and said: "Brother He, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a little effort. In fact, you gave us the bronze tripod to study, which can be regarded as giving us a chance to learn."
He Qing smiled and said: "This is what it should be. Let's have dinner together later. There are still many things I need to ask you about that bronze tripod."
Pan Lao said happily: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
At this moment, He Qing was very excited. Mr. Pan had brought him such good news again. Now that the origin of the bronze tripod was confirmed, he had another thing on his hands. Since the bronze was "Li Mu's tripod", then
The value is very high, and it is truly a "heavy weapon".
In the afternoon, He Qing very enthusiastically invited Mr. Pan and Che Juan to have dinner at a nearby hotel. He entertained the two of them with wine and food. Of course, Lin Haitao was also there.
At the banquet, He Qing drank several glasses of wine.
After drinking and eating, Che Juan suddenly said to He Qing: "Mr. He, can we have a few words?"
"Okay." He Qing nodded without hesitation, so he walked to the side to chat with the other party under Che Juan's eyes. He didn't know anything about the other party's private matters, so he acted more mysteriously.
"Miss Che, what's the matter?" He Qing asked.
Che Juan said with a smile: "There is an exhibition at the Municipal Museum next Thursday. Are you interested in attending? Let's go and see it together."
"Museum exhibition?" He Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
Che Juan said happily: "Then I'll call you then."
"Well, okay." He Qing nodded.
Of course, He Qing is interested in participating in the museum exhibition. The objects on display are all objects, and the objects are antiques. Since they are antiques, he might be able to discover the "precious light" and absorb the artistic inspiration condensed on it.
