Although this spear and shield probably never went on the battlefield after being forged, and it is not even certain whether the famous Alexander the Great saw them, the historical significance of these two weapons is so important, and their existence is more definite evidence.
Alexander's empire once ruled Central Asia and even pushed the empire's borders to Congling!
In this sense, these two pieces of craftsmanship are not too complex and contradictory. They are both undoubtedly 'national treasures' art treasures!
The last piece of national treasure-level cultural relic that Liu Dong considers very precious is a jade plate made of Afghan jade!
The jade plate is only 80 centimeters long, less than 40 centimeters wide, less than a finger thick, and the jade material is relatively ordinary!
But the 219 ancient Persian characters on this jade tablet make this ordinary jade tablet from the third century BC immeasurably valuable!
The reason why I say this is mainly because the text on this jade tablet expresses the founding declaration of Arshak I, the founding emperor of the Parthian Empire. It is similar to the ancient Chinese imperial edict after the founding of the new dynasty: Chengtianjing
Destiny, overthrowing the tyranny of a certain person, showing kindness to the world, and establishing a certain dynasty have the same meaning!
The Parthian Empire is the Parthian Empire that is often mentioned in Chinese history, especially in the history of the Han Dynasty.
In 247 BC, the founding monarch Arsace separated the country from the Hellenistic empire Seleucid dynasty. After the efforts of several generations of monarchs, the Parthian Empire reached its peak in the north and reached as far north as the Euphrates River in southeastern Asia Minor.
, a powerful empire reaching the Amu Darya River in the east!
At the same time, the Parthian Empire was also considered to be one of the four great empires in Asia and Europe, alongside the Han Dynasty, Rome, and the Kushan Empire in its heyday!
The founding declaration of such a powerful country is very similar to the Declaration of Independence of the Americans today, and it is more than two thousand years earlier! The value is inestimable!
After Liu Dong packed up the three "national treasures among national treasures" level cultural relics that he considered to be the most valuable, he looked at the empty storage room, feeling satisfied but also slightly regretful!
Afghanistan, where Mahayana Buddhism flourished for more than 500 years before the rise of Islam, has countless Buddhist temple sites! But this time Liu Dong did not find any Buddha relics in these collections. Especially the Buddha Sakyamuni.
Buddha relics!
If so, then his relic Yuan Guang and Mustard Seed Space can go one step further!
Looking at the empty treasure room and meditating on the rich harvest in the Mustard Seed Space, the slight regret in Liu Dong's heart for not getting the Buddha's relic quickly calmed down.
"Then it's time to eradicate the root!" Liu Dong, with a cold look in his eyes, quickly disappeared into the treasure room!
It came without a sound and left without a sound, but it did not attract the attention of the guards outside at all!
As for the consequences after he steals these treasures treasured by the Taliban, Liu Dong is not thinking about it! As long as it is not in his own country, Liu Dong has no scruples in doing anything!
…
"Snapped!"
Mulati turned over again, but the inexplicable irritability in his heart kept him from falling asleep!
And he seemed to feel a sense of danger again deep in his heart. But considering that he was now in a heavily guarded underground military base, no one could get in! So, he quickly put down this dangerous intuition!
Turning over, he turned on the bedside lamp, looked at his watch and found that the time was already 11pm! According to his past habits, if he had nothing to do at this time, he would have already fallen asleep! But he doesn't know why he always feels irritable today.
Very, as if something is about to happen!
Mulati, who still couldn't figure out the reason but couldn't sleep, simply put on his pajamas and walked out of the bedroom. After going to the toilet, he came to the living room, turned on the light, lit a cigarette for himself, and sat on the sofa.
He started smoking slowly, and while smoking, Mulati's thoughts were slowly dissipating like smoke!
It is said that it has been almost a week since he came to Kamdesh, but ** has never agreed with him! This undoubtedly made him accustomed to freedom, and used to being the big brother, used to being respected, and used to enjoying luxury.
Mulati is a bit uncomfortable!
Now I stay in this secret underground base every day, which is safe, but it is like going to jail every day! There is no freedom at all! Let alone enjoyment!
And every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was in Hotan, feasting, enjoying life, being carefree, and surrounded by beauties. Life at that time was so beautiful!
"It's all that damn Liu Dong's fault. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Mulati couldn't help but gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.
"I didn't expect Mr. Mulati to still miss me so much!"
The sudden sound that appeared next to him made Mulati freeze up instantly.
After being motionless for a while, he suddenly trembled, and then jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He turned around and looked at Liu Dong, who was standing two meters away from him, with an expression of horror and disbelief. After swallowing, he said in a trembling voice: "You...are you a human or...a ghost?"
After smiling calmly, Liu Dong took a few steps forward and reached the sofa. Erlang raised his legs and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Human? Ghost? So what if it's a human? So what if it's a ghost? Aren't they all here to seek your life?"
?”
At this time, Mulati, who had calmed down from the shock, also discovered that the person sitting in front of him was indeed a flesh-and-blood person, not another supernatural creature!
This made him feel relieved and nervous at the same time!
"How did you get in? There are more than 10,000 soldiers outside, there's no way you could get in here!" Mulati's words were somewhat incoherent because of fear and disbelief.
"But in fact, aren't I already here?" Liu Dong said calmly.
When he was sure that Mulati was under his control, Liu Dong was not in a hurry to kill him. Instead, he enjoyed playing a cat-and-mouse game to retaliate for being held captive by the other party for more than half a month.
It’s hard work to walk through mountains and ridges, across three countries, and thousands of kilometers of mountain roads!
Looking at Liu Dong in front of him, Mulati really couldn't figure out how the other party passed through the heavy protection outside and entered his room quietly, but he understood that if he didn't figure out a way quickly, then he would be the one living here today.
The last day of the world!
"You tracked me here just to kill me?" Mulati said after calming down a little.
"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded unceremoniously.
"Why? Now I have been cornered by you! And I have lost everything in Hotan. I will never pose any threat to you in the future. Why can't you let me live? Don't the Chinese often say 'mercy'?"
Do you think it's better to be 'tolerant to others' and 'saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda'?"
After looking at Mulati with a sarcastic look, Liu Dong said: "You are very good at using words that are beneficial to yourself! But unfortunately, the philosophy I believe in is 'cutting the grass without eradicating the root will lead to endless troubles.'
! In order for me not to regret it in the future, I ask you to die. If you don’t die, I will never feel at ease!”
With that said, Liu Dong slowly stood up from the sofa!
"Wait, you know, I have been in Hotan for many years and have accumulated a lot of money. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give you all this money! Really!" Mulati said with a panicked expression.
"Do you think I will be short of money?" Liu Dong said coldly.
With this sentence, Mulati suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had a net worth of over tens of billions of dollars at a young age, and he had much more money than himself!
"Help……!"
There was nothing he could do. After entering the base, even the gun in his hand was taken away. Mulati had no choice but to ask for help from the guards outside.
But just as he said these two words, his Adam's apple was already cut off by Liu Dong's palm!
"Giggle...plop!"
Liu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the lifeless body on the ground with his hands tightly clasping his throat, his eyes wide open, his face turning blue, slowly losing his breath and falling to the ground!
This Mulati is the most difficult enemy to kill since his debut.
Kamdesh, who had been chasing him all the way from Hotan in China to Afghanistan, finally took the life of the other party and ended his worries!
"I hope this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, otherwise it will really cost people's lives!" Looking back on the hard work of sleeping in the open air and climbing mountains and ridges these days, Liu Dong really doesn't want to go through it again!
Climbing the Tianshan Mountains for more than a month and looking for snow lotus was enough for him, but this cross-country pursuit was simply torture!
From now on, Liu Dong announced that he will never have a chance to climb mountains again!
"Huh?"
Just when Liu Dong was packing up and preparing to leave, new changes suddenly appeared within the coverage area of the relic Yuanguang!
"Why is he here?"
I saw that Rofit Stillman, who had a conflict with him at noon today, appeared in the military camp above the underground base with two bodyguards!
Thinking of the other party's special identity, and considering the current time and place, Liu Dong vaguely guessed that Rofit's purpose in coming to Kamdesh was probably the same as that of most people who came for the so-called auction and drugs.
People are different!
"Just follow me and have a look!" After thinking for a while, Liu Dong, who was curious, had an idea in his heart!
After disposing of Mulati's body and cleaning up the surrounding traces, Liu Dong left the heavily guarded room two hundred meters underground along the original path!
From beginning to end, the movement in the room never attracted the attention of the patrol outside!
