Chapter 878: There Are Tunnels Under the Palace
Chapter 878 There is a tunnel under the palace
Fontainebleau means blue spring. It is named after an octagonal spring. The spring water here is crystal clear. In the early 12th century, Louis VI of France built a majestic spring beside the spring for resting while hunting.
The castle is the famous Palace of Fontainebleau.
The Fontainebleau Palace complex consists of a feudal castle main tower, palaces built by kings of the Six Dynasties, five unequal-shaped courtyards and four unique gardens.
Li Mo and his group came here on a tour bus, and they all wore uniform travel agency hats. Everyone carried different bags, and they really looked like they came here specially for fun.
The bus passed through the vast forest and entered the area of the Palace of Fontainebleau. The people who came here were mainly foreigners. Li Mo saw many Asian faces and heard many familiar accents.
"Mr. Li, are we really here for a trip?" Dashan still held a small five-star red flag in his hand. He looked at the surrounding environment, took a few deep breaths and said: "The air here is really good, not so hot, and there is something in the air.
The smell of trees.”
"If you don't come here to play, what are you doing here? Let's go. There are not many opportunities like this. I will take you to see the Old Summer Palace in the West."
"Boss, when did the Old Summer Palace start to appear in the West?"
Chen Xiaojun patted the brown bear on the shoulder and said: "I heard that there is a Chinese Pavilion here at Fontainebleau Palace, which displays various antique treasures plundered from the Old Summer Palace."
"Xiaojun is right. The museum here collects more Yuanmingyuan antiques than other museums in Europe. The number of porcelain, gold and silverware, calligraphy and painting, bronzes, jades, etc. is estimated to exceed 30,000 pieces. However, the official exhibition of the museum
Only a few hundred fine pieces came out.”
Li Mo was walking and talking, and suddenly looked back at Yuli who was lagging behind and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuli, I heard that there were some other treasures on display in the Huaxia Pavilion a few years ago, but how come fifteen of them were stolen?
The important treasures, including the cloisonné unicorn from China, are the treasures here. Have you traced the stolen important treasures so far?"
Li Mo bent over and was appreciating a cloisonne jade pot spring vase. Hearing Xiaojun make a lot of guesses, he turned to look at him: "Maybe they didn't throw away any valuable treasure at all, they just set off a smoke bomb. In fact, it was
The insiders have divided the spoils."
Li Mo's clairvoyant gaze stretched far into the distance, with no end in sight, but judging from the direction, it should be extending towards the forest outside Fontainebleau Palace.
"What do you mean, what did I say?"
Chen Xiaojun looked at Yuli and his three colleagues who were not far away. He also leaned down and whispered: "Uncle, do you think those fifteen stolen treasures are still somewhere in the Palace of Fontainebleau?"
?”
There are also several mahogany glass cabinets and corner cabinets displaying various art treasures such as bronzes and jades plundered from the Yuanmingyuan.
"I don't know. Do you want to dig deep and find it out?"
This is a bit interesting, as it copies Chinese architectural culture.
"Did the thief from a few years ago come in through this tunnel?"
"This expense is nothing compared to the reward Mr. Li gave me."
Li Mo continued to look at each piece, checking the buildings of the Huaxia Pavilion with his special pupils from time to time. After watching it for more than forty minutes, Li Mo came to a giant landscape. This landscape actually imitated the garden effect of the Huaxia Pavilion.
There are mountains, water, green plants, Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, stone roads and corridors, mist is rising, and there are various birdsong.
Li Mo and the others also needed tickets to enter the Chinese Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau. The person who paid for the tickets was Li Mo. Li Mo gave him bonuses in various ways. No matter how stupid he was, he would have thought of this, so he took the initiative to do such small things.
"What you said to Yuli when you were outside was that the person who infiltrated the Huaxia Pavilion stole fifteen pieces.
The most top-notch antique treasure? Except for the manipulation by our own people, who can come in openly from the outside and leave quietly with so many treasures."
"It's not the same thing, let's follow."
You can tell the whole story at a glance. During the peak period of the Old Summer Palace in the late Qing Dynasty, an astonishing number of treasures were hidden. The treasures Li Mo got back from the Old Summer Palace through various methods were only a drop in the bucket.
Yuli looked a little embarrassed. The things in his national museum were all Chinese, but he didn't pay attention and they were stolen under his nose. This was really a great irony.
"We didn't take over specifically, so I don't know the situation."
What kind of operation is this? There is a tunnel under the palace.
"Mr. Yuli, judging from your appearance, it seems that the person who committed the theft has not been found yet. Have you ever suspected that someone was watching over you?"
Walking into the Huaxia Pavilion, there were already dozens of people visiting. Li Mo was already immune to museums, but others were full of curiosity. Currently on display in the pavilion are the Jubaolong Pavilion incense burner, the yellow snail umbrella cover used by the royal family, and the imperial brush
Written couplets, countless porcelains, jades, emeralds, pagodas inlaid with emeralds, cloisonné animal boxes, etc.
"Uncle Junior, I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense."
"Haha, I just asked casually."
"Landmine, give me the bill later." Brown Bear touched him with his elbow, "Why should I cost you when I follow Mr. Li out?"
"You really guessed it. I have liked all kinds of buildings since I was a child, but I gave up my original dream after being recruited by the country. The details of this garden-style landscape are very delicate, but it lacks vitality. I heard
At that time, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on the landscape design. If this was replicated one-to-one in a nearby forest, the effect would be even better. Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Yuli walked up to him, looked at it with great interest, and then pointed to the buildings and said: "When I was young, I studied abroad in China. I traveled to Huizhou with my friends during the summer vacation. I really liked the Huizhou architecture there. I still go there.
I came to Suzhou and I also like the beautiful garden architecture.”
"Just thinking about it."
The first thought that came to mind was that someone had dug a long tunnel, and its purpose should be for the treasures in the museum. And it was a premeditated action, because the exit of the tunnel was right under the landscape area.
Chen Xiaojun and the others looked at him one after another, looking like they were nakedly laughing.
"You didn't study architectural design when you were young, right?"
Li Mo would scan with his special pupils every step of the way, so when he was about to leave, he would habitually scan his eyes with his special pupils. What he never expected was that the bottom of this landscape was actually empty, with a hole extending down.
Direct access to the outside world.
"It makes sense. The true meaning of architectural design is to be integrated with nature. In your words, it is to give life to the building. This is the highest state of unity between man and nature. It's a pity that you can't understand the essence and can only copy it.
, just a pile of dead things.”
Li Mo suddenly felt that this idea was very exciting. If someone really dug this cave all the way, wouldn't it mean that as long as they find the entrance to the cave, they can sneak in and empty it without anyone noticing.
"Mr. Li, where should we visit next?"
Yuri asked politely.
"The Palace of Fontainebleau is surrounded by forests. Even if you walk along the path at this time, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road. Mr. Uly, let's just walk casually."
