Chapter 107: Yaobian Tianmu

Du Ruo explained: "This matter is very important to me. The things must not be lost. Please help me get them back."

Seeing Du Ruo's serious look, Yuan Tingchuan knew that this thing would be useful.

He nodded and said, "I'll have someone pick it up later. What is it?"

Du Ruo lowered his voice: "A samurai sword from Country R."

Yuan Tingchuan looked as if he had never seen the world before. What's so special about this thing?

Du Ruo continued, "This sword is called Thunder God. It is very important to a certain family. I plan to exchange it for something."

"Sato?"

The boss is indeed a boss. He even knows this.

Yuan Tingchuan frowned and said, "That guy is not someone you can easily get along with. I've dealt with him before, and he's very cunning. You really have to be careful. What are you planning to exchange for?"

Du Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's change it to an antique from the Song Dynasty. We don't have any of them anymore. The few pieces left in the world are all in Country R."

"Yōben Tenmoku-ken." Yuan Tingchuan's voice was firm and there was surprise in his eyes. This woman was too careless.

The Yaobian Tianmu Bowl is a cultural relic from the Northern Song Dynasty in my country and is also known as the "universe in a bowl."

This cultural relic is a special variety of Jian Kiln. It was also called "Haobian Cup" in the Song Dynasty. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, this porcelain was lost.

Jian Kiln was known as the "first teaware" during the Song Dynasty. Yaobian is the most supreme glaze color among Jian Kiln. It is not only complicated in craftsmanship, but also extremely difficult to fire. Only when the glaze and kiln fire are extremely changed can a cup be produced. It is like a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.

There are only three Yohen Tenmoku bowls in the world, all of which are in museums in Country R and are listed as national treasures by the country.

The reason why this bowl is called the "universe in a bowl" is because natural light spots of various sizes will emerge in the glaze it is fired in. What is even more magical is that surrounding these light spots of various sizes, there will be other colorful light spots appearing in the bowl, and different colors will change when illuminated from different directions.

The formation of Yohen Tenmoku is highly accidental, "one bowl is fired and ten thousand bowls are incomplete", and it was also a national treasure in the Song Dynasty.

Yuan Tingchuan frowned and said, "This is a national treasure of Country R. Are you sure Sato has it? As far as I know, there are only three pieces of it in existence, but they are all in the museum."

Du Ruo smiled, "Don't worry about how I know this. The Sato family does have a Yohen Tenmoku hexagram. You should know its origin. The only three remaining in the world were brought back from Mount Tianmoku by monks from Country R during the Song Dynasty when they came to exchange and learn. In fact, there was a fourth one at that time, and it is in the hands of the Sato family."

Yuan Tingchuan shook his head: "Just based on the Thor's samurai sword, Sato will not trade it with you. The Thor is indeed very important to his family, but he will never trade that kind of national treasure with you. You have to know that things are valuable because they are rare, and we don't have it ourselves. If he trades the Yohen Tenmoku Bowl with you, the pressure he will have to bear is beyond your imagination. He would not dare to do it even if you kill him."

Du Ruo poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks in anger. In fact, she also vaguely knew that this was not easy, but even if there was a glimmer of hope, she also wanted to exchange it for another one, not only because of her antique city, but also because she had a plan in mind to hand it over to the country sooner or later.

Now that Yuan Tingchuan said this, Du Ruo felt a little disappointed.

Seeing Du Ruo's depressed look, Yuan Tingchuan's eyes flickered. He touched his chin with his fingers and said, "I'll think about this matter again. If I think about it carefully, maybe it will work."

Du Ruo's eyes lit up. The boss was still reliable.

Seeing Du Ruo looking at him with sparkling eyes, Yuan Tingchuan's heart warmed up and he blurted out, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

As soon as he said this, he was stunned for a moment. He has always been a meticulous person and never makes promises if he is not sure about it. He is not very sure about this matter.

Yuan Tingchuan touched his nose awkwardly. Du Ruo also saw something. She continued to flatter the boss: "I think it will work. Your IQ is much higher than mine. I guarantee it will be no problem."

Yuan Tingchuan twitched his lips. He didn't buy it. He said coldly, "My IQ is much higher than yours?? Then what about those two truckloads of raw materials in Myanmar? Don't tell me you don't know."

Seeing Yuan Tingchuan bringing up the past, Du Ruo blinked awkwardly. She wanted to say, I did that to protect myself. In that place, if Aung San really knew her special value, would she still be able to leave northern Myanmar? Even if she could leave at that time, there would be endless troubles.

Although Yuan Tingchuan had just told her to trust his abilities, Du Ruo still had reservations. Perhaps she was really too wary and she couldn't put her fate entirely in the hands of others.

Seeing Du Ruo blinking at him, Yuan Tingchuan felt a little sad. Matters of the heart are extremely difficult to control. Although his original intention was not pure, his sincerity could not be faked.

He had to meet such a heartless woman. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night. He gritted his teeth and looked at Du Ruo: "Do you only blame me? Woman, check your conscience. I did go with the flow when kidnapping her, but was I targeting you?"

Du Ruo secretly said in her heart, you want to kill two birds with one stone.

Yuan Tingchuan waved his hands: "Don't mention this anymore. Didn't you say that at the time? We are still friends, so let's be good friends. I'm serious."

Du Ruo shrugged and said, "Let's be friends. It's good for us to make money together."

After dinner, Yuan Tingchuan sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the teacup in his hand. He was actually quite sad. It was the first time in his life that his heart was moved. He was not sure whether it was deep or shallow, which led to his wrong judgment and put the situation into a desperate situation.

Don't be fooled by Du Ruo's smiling face now. This woman has a hard heart. It will be difficult to influence her even a little bit.

When Yuan Tingchuan was a child, his grandfather held him on his lap to read documents. For him, handling these things was as natural as eating and drinking. He also noticed the strangeness in his heart at first, but did not take it seriously.

In a sense, he and Du Ruo were made for each other, both of them put themselves before others, and their thinking patterns were exactly the same. Du Ruo had been complaining about his pretense, but the woman herself was the same, on the surface she looked elegant and free, and she didn't care about worldly matters, but in fact she was more sullen than anyone else.

Perhaps it was because like attracts like that brought the two together, but now they are in a deadlock.

Yuan Tingchuan sighed deeply and let things take their course.

Du Ruo's ankle injury was not particularly serious, and he was able to walk again after a few days.
