Chapter 1206 Pretending to Be Sick
The emergence of the First Emperor's imperial seal has pushed the enthusiasm for discovering Genghis Khan's secrets to another level. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor are a miracle, and Xiang Yu's stone formation is a miracle. But they can really be compared with Genghis Khan's secrets. The visual impact of human beings is far inferior.
"Boss, the Inner Mongolia authorities have already connected with me. All the expenses incurred here will be borne by them. The money we spent before will be transferred to the company account tomorrow. In addition, we do not need to do the logistics procurement tomorrow. They A professional company will be arranged for delivery.”
Sha Tou came to report to Li Mo at around eight o'clock in the evening.
"Is it too much?"
"No." Shatou replied quickly.
Li Mo frowned slightly and said a little dissatisfied: "We are lucky to work here hard, but they don't pay us? Don't pay those archaeological experts? Are we here just to experience the wind and sun? Eat a bite of their mutton chop rice?"
Sha Tou was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Then why do you think you want this?"
"I'm not doing it for myself."
Li Mo took it off, joking, am I the one who likes that little money? The last time the dinosaur fossil site valley was found in the Helan Mountains, Inner Mongolia officials did not make any statement. On the contrary, many people had opinions on it.
This time Genghis Khan's secret treasure was released. They only shouted slogans but never took any practical actions. This made Li Mo have a particularly bad impression of them.
Shatou finally understood the meaning of his boss's words at this time. He was dissatisfied with the officials and could not take action personally, so he asked himself to go out and cause trouble for them.
"Boss, I think those archaeological experts have come from afar and are still working on the front line at a very old age. They deserve our admiration. We should give them more subsidies and bonuses."
A smile finally appeared on Li Mo's face, that's right.
Early the next morning, as soon as Li Mo arrived at the cafeteria, he saw Tori, who was already eating buffet breakfast, saying hello to him.
"Academician Li, sit here."
Li Mo packed some steak, eggs, fried rice and delicious cold dishes, then sat in the empty seat next to Tori and said while eating: "Expert Tori, you got up a little early today."
"As I get older, I sleep less. I wake up before dawn and lie in bed unable to sleep until dawn."
"Expert Tori, I think you are a little anxious and uneasy these days. It was me, master Yanagawa Kei and Renmin University Professor Sima Haotian who opened the coffin yesterday and were in charge. Today, your team will take over and continue. If there is no There is a high probability that a treasure more valuable than the jade seal passed down from the country will be ready now."
Tori really cheered up, and these words made him smile immediately.
"Academician Li, I also want to ask you, are you going to send away the imperial seal?"
"Expert Tori, this matter has been concluded. Besides, do you think the imperial seal will have more influence if it stays here in Inner Mongolia, or if it is sent to Kyoto?"
"That's what I say, but it came out of Genghis Khan's sarcophagus after all. When it was sent to Kyoto alone, it felt like Genghis Khan's secret collection had suddenly shrunk a lot, and its weight was seriously insufficient." Tori smiled, "Actually, I This is just worrying and is ridiculous."
"Expert Tori, there is something I think it is necessary to tell you in private. We are only doing research work, and it is best not to interfere in other matters."
There was a hint of embarrassment on Tori's face, and it was obvious that his purpose of testing Li Mo's tone had been seen through.
"I am also entrusted by others. In fact, I don't want to take care of this matter."
Today, it was Toli expert who lifted the treasure from the sarcophagus, while Li Mo and others stood aside and watched. There are also some large and small wooden boxes in the sarcophagus. He started from the head space and held out a medium-sized wooden box with both hands. After opening it, there was a jade article lying inside, which was carved with a dragon and a phoenix. The jade is made of the finest mutton-fat jade. The overall length and width are ten centimeters, and the height is thirteen centimeters. The carvings are dragons and phoenixes wrapped around pillars. You can tell at a glance that it is of extraordinary value.
Anything that can be buried as a burial object in Genghis Khan's sarcophagus is truly extraordinary.
"Be careful, this is the priceless jade carving of a dragon and a phoenix, which is the treasure of the town hall." Tori was also very cautious at this moment, for fear that his hands would shake and fall to pieces on the ground. The object is not big in size, but the jade quality is of the highest quality and the carving techniques are also the best, so it has enough capital to become a treasure of the museum.
However, the treasures that were recovered from the sarcophagus were relatively ordinary. A total of eighteen items were recovered from the sarcophagus. These dozen items alone can be displayed in an independent museum. This is envisioned and it is unclear whether a museum will be built in the future.
Li Mo didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't let anyone do the preliminary preparations.
All the funerary objects in the sarcophagus have been cleared away, and what is left is this complete golden armor. In the cold sarcophagus, it reflects an uncomfortable light under the light above the head.
"Academician Li, leave the rest to us."
Expert Zhao volunteered and said.
"Okay, let's thank you experts. Once all the matters in the main palace are taken care of, we will prepare to open one of the sub-palaces. There may be many treasures in it that we didn't expect."
Li Mo briefly explained a few words before leaving, and then walked out of the secret palace with his master Yanagawa Kei.
"Has the imperial seal been sent away?"
"Sent away early in the morning, I feel a lot of pressure to keep the treasure in my hands." Li Mo opened the mineral water and took a few sips, and suddenly said, "Master, I will return to Yandu in the evening. Things here I’ll leave it to you and Professor Sima to take full responsibility, is that okay?”
Yanagawa Kei was about to smoke a cigarette when he heard this and asked in surprise: "The archaeological work here has just begun, why do you want to leave?"
"Master, don't you think the atmosphere here is a bit unusual?"
Yanagawa Kei put Xiangyan under his nose and smelled it. He didn't light it. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "Are you overthinking it? I don't think there's anything unusual about it."
Yes, even if you tell him about it, he won't be able to get around it.
"Master, what scale of project would it be if the entire Genghis Khan Secret Collection were to be relocated? How long will it take to complete? How much money will it cost from start to finish?"
Yanagawa Kei showed a solemn look, he had no clear concept of these.
"If you think about it, you will know that this is a very huge and difficult job, but so far no one from the official side has come forward to communicate with us about future matters. There has not even been a formal press conference so far. None. If they plan to relocate in the future and choose a location, they should at least communicate with us first."
"That must be necessary. They don't know anything." Yanagawa Qing said firmly, "Xiao Mo, are you saying that someone is unhappy with you?"
"There is no need to doubt this. In addition, I am also worried that someone will have some twisted ideas about Genghis Khan's secret treasure. So I will find an excuse to return to Yandu. As for opening the passage to the deputy palace, if you can handle it, then continue. If you can't handle it, then continue. I’ll just wait until things become clearer before I come back and continue.”
Yanagawa Kei put away the cigarette again, sighed and said: "With your current prestige, most people are not willing to compete with you in the ring. Could it be that the second person in charge is behind it?"
"Then I don't know."
"Okay, I'll see you off."
"No, why do I need you to give me this?"
Li Mo left Manzhouli, and the news had spread throughout the night. Many people asked Yanagawa Kei, and he said that Li Mo had a fever again. The cause was not diagnosed last time here, so he decided to go back to Kyoto for a good examination and treatment as soon as he felt uncomfortable.
This reason is very legitimate and no one doubts it.
Li Mo left in the evening. The plane landed at the airport late at night and early in the morning. Chen Xiaojun came to pick him up.
"Uncle, everything has been arranged. Should we go directly to the hospital?"
"Of course. Since the reason is to come back for a comprehensive examination, this process cannot be omitted. As for how sick I am, it is not up to me. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable all over. Even if they suspect it, what can they do? How about it."
"Understood, the whole show needs to be done. I also made an appointment with Mr. Wu. As soon as he heard that you were feeling unwell, he immediately promised to rush to the Beijing Hospital at dawn to take your pulse and diagnose you."
"That's good. This way the acting will be more realistic."
Li Mo checked into the best suite in Beijing Hospital that night. He took a hot shower and went to bed. He quickly fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard someone pushing the door open and walking in. Although Mr. Wu is over eighty years old, he appears to be in particularly good shape. He has white hair and a long white beard. Wearing a Tang suit, holding a cane in his hand and wearing a pair of reading glasses, he came to the hospital bed.
His grandson Wu Wei followed beside him carrying a simple medicine box.
"Hello, Mr. Wu."
"Heh, your voice is full of energy, and your face doesn't look like you are sick." Mr. Wu said a little strangely.
Li Mo chuckled, then waved to Wu Wei and shouted, "Hello, brother-in-law."
"What do you call me, brother-in-law? Just call me by my name." Wu Wei put the medicine box on the bedside table and said with a smile, "Siqi heard that you were sick. When I was leaving, she even said that she would cook you an authentic meal at home. Grass chicken soup, I’ll bring it to you at noon to drink some tonic. She said that you are probably sick from exhaustion, and you’ll be fine as long as you eat well and get well.”
"When did Sister Siqi learn cooking skills?"
Li Mo asked in surprise.
Wu Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, if she really cooks some grass chicken soup herself, you can tolerate it for a while if it doesn't taste good."
"Okay, let me feel your pulse first."
Mr. Wu asked him to stretch out his right hand. He took the pulse for a while, then changed his hand and said after about three minutes: "Wu Wei, you come and take the pulse too."
Two or three minutes later, Wu Wei said directly: "Grandpa, Xiao Mo is in good health."
"Xiao Mo, did you come back from Inner Mongolia to have something happen there?" Jiang was still very spicy, so Mr. Wu got to the point directly.
Li Mo gave Mr. Wu a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Wu, you are still great. I just came back to hide for a while, so even if I am fine, you have to give me a prescription to heal me."
"You're a little internally angry. How about I give you something to relieve the internal heat? You can make a medicinal soup, or you can just make tea."
"Then make it into a decoction."
"Okay, Wu Wei, please come and prescribe."
Wu Wei glanced at Li Mo with a strange look on his face, and then whispered: "Brother, the heat will go away within two nights of your stay at home. There is no need to take Chinese medicine."
This guy speaks metaphors quite clearly. If he goes home to his wife and sleeps with him for two nights, he will be sure to burn out his inner fire.
"Just follow the prescription and don't delay Xiao Mo's important matters."
Mr. Wu stared, Wu Wei immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll write a prescription right away."
"Xiao Mo, I heard that the secret palace of Genghis Khan is full of treasures, and there is also a jade seal passed down by the First Emperor. Please tell me about it."
The old man was also a very curious person. Sitting on the bed, Li Mo talked about a lot of things. After all, they were all things he had experienced personally, so it was not as simple as a story from his mouth.
"It's really a historical mystery. How come the missing jade seal of the Later Tang Dynasty was regarded as a burial object by Genghis Khan. There is no record of such a major historical event in either official history or unofficial history. Fortunately, It is not buried deep underground forever, it will eventually be seen again."
"Yeah, it's a historical mystery that no one knows."
The Wu family's grandparents left, and then experts and nurses from Beijing Hospital came to check him. Because his body temperature had returned to normal and there was no obvious discomfort on his body, the series of examinations originally arranged were not performed for the time being.
"Mr. Li, I will observe you for a day today. If everything is normal, I will give you a full body health check tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you everyone, sorry for the trouble."
What's the trouble? These experts want people like Li Mo to visit the ward every day. Staying in a suite with the best conditions and equipped with a team of experts, all of which require high service fees.
This phenomenon is not uncommon in hospitals.
In the afternoon, people came to the hospital to visit Li Mo one after another. Then in the evening, the whole Internet broke the news that Li Mo was sick and was hospitalized in Beijing Hospital.
"Why are you pretending to be sick? My parents and I are worried to death." When only Li Mo and Qin Sirui were left in the ward, the latter hit him on the chest and complained a little, "If the stall over there in Inner Mongolia... If you don't want to join in, just quit. There are so many archaeological experts here, it doesn't matter if you are missing."
Li Mo rubbed his chest pretending to be in pain and said: "Pretending to be sick can solve many problems once and for all, and it can also shut up many people's mouths. This is a clever trick taught to me by my aunt."
"Ah, it was my aunt who gave you the idea. It's true. We had dinner at grandpa's house yesterday, and she didn't even mention it to me. When we heard the news that you were sick and returned to Beijing, we were worried to death."
"Isn't this just to act more like a character?"
