I played the world alone

Chapter 58 Preparing Gifts
"Oh?"

The old man raised his eyelids and looked back.

"Knowing my temper, you dare to write this letter. It's really courageous. I want to see which old classmate is so thick-skinned."

He took the letter, glanced at the top secret chapter on it, his face changed slightly, not as casual as before.

Then he tore off the seal, spread out the densely written letter, and read it carefully with his reading glasses.

Xu Xun actually didn't read the content of this letter, he only knew that the person who wrote this letter was very serious.

At the same time, the old man who read the letter gradually became serious, and read it carefully for several minutes.

It took a long time before he put away the letter, and looked at Xu Xun again, looking very seriously.

Then he nodded and shook his head slightly.

"I can't think of it... come in."

As soon as Xu Xun walked past the fence, the little dirt dog immediately curled up its tail, barked and hid between the two flowerpots.

He followed the old man to the house.

The house has three floors. After entering, you can see an old lady knitting a sweater while watching TV in the living room, and a nanny in her 40s is busy in the kitchen.

The old lady looked back when she heard the noise, and asked curiously who it was. Mr. Wang only said that it was introduced by a friend, and then instead of going upstairs, she opened a secret passage. It turned out that there was a larger basement below.

Xu Xun followed and walked in, and was surprised to see that the basement room was brightly lit, and glass cabinets were neatly arranged one by one.

What are displayed in those glass cabinets are pieces of cultural relics with strong historical color.

As small as copper coins and ancient books, as large as dressing tables and mirrors...

The content is rich and dazzling, and one can't help but marvel at how rich the other party's collection is.

I'm afraid it can be compared to a small museum!

Elder Wang also seemed to be very proud, seeing his surprised appearance: "Don't be surprised, these are all antiques with formal procedures, and it took the old man my whole life to collect them."

"Every piece here is absolutely authentic and I can tell the story behind it."

"There are several even more incredible treasures that are still preserved in the National Museum, but they still have to ask my opinion if they want to exhibit them."

Afterwards, he sighed, feeling very emotional.

"However, I never thought that this little hobby of mine could be related to the future of the country and the peace of the world."

"You want to put this big hat on my head, but my old bones can't bear it."

"Come on, tell me what you need?"

Xu Xun thanked: "We need a cultural relic that is about a hundred years old."

"Because the person who needs it is a woman, it's best to choose something more suitable for women."

"For a woman?"

Mr. Wang was a little surprised, and pondered for a while: "Is my old man too old-fashioned or too pedantic? I never figured out what this matter has to do with world peace."

"What is the identity of that woman? The first lady of a certain big country? Or the princess of some dignitary?"

See each other shake his head.

"It can't be a fairy."

He thought he told a good bad joke, clapping his hands and laughing, but Xu Xun didn't laugh.

Just looked at him in silence.

Elder Wang laughed to himself for a while, then stopped slowly, stared blankly, and swallowed.

"I... just said it casually, isn't it right?"

Xu Xun said in a deep voice: "This matter is currently the top secret, so please forgive me for not revealing it."

"The current limited news that can be said is that this gift of yours may be a stepping stone to open a new era for our country..."

Elder Wang looked at him blankly.

Although the other party didn't seem to say anything, he seemed to have said everything.

Think about the content of that letter again...

He suddenly felt that something incredible was happening in reality.

But the possibility he guessed was so outrageous that he couldn't imagine what it would be like no matter how he thought about it.

"This should be the era of technology. I'm still paying attention to the latest technology. What about AI...maybe a new industrial revolution is about to start again...how come these weird things suddenly appear?"

He murmured to himself, still unable to figure it out.

If you don't understand, you don't want to.

"This is the age of your young people. I don't quite understand this. I can only do what I can do."

Mr. Wang paced slowly, his eyes sweeping over these precious treasures one by one.

Some reluctance, but more caution.

If what he guessed just now is true, then his gift may be much more important than he thought!

We must be cautious!
Xu Xun was not in a hurry, he just stood aside and waited patiently.

After a long time, Mr. Wang finally made up his mind, walked to a glass cabinet in a corner, took out an exquisite jade hairpin from it, and carefully took out a wooden box of suitable length to put it in.

While handing it over to Xu Xun, he was also telling its story.

"The history of this jade hairpin was about 90 years ago. It was made by a famous craftsman at that time. It was later bought by a rich lady surnamed Lin."

"But because of the subsequent war, the Lin family's family situation gradually declined, and the destitute Ms. Lin wanted to sell it in order to supplement the family."

"And the buyer she found was my mother."

"My mother is a kind-hearted person. She didn't lower the price just because the other party was in a hurry to use the money. Instead, she subsidized it appropriately. She also promised to pawn it here temporarily. If one day she raises enough money, she can redeem it."

"It's just... Since then, the flames of war have spread, and my mother has never seen that Miss Lin again, and she has no chance to return this hairpin."

Wang Lao was a little emotional.

"This is a relic left by your mother, will it be given as a gift..." Xu Xun hesitated.

"No," Elder Wang shook his head, "It is precisely because it was left by my mother, so I hope it can be used to the fullest and show its charm. Instead of leaving it in the hands of an old man like me."

"So, I leave this to you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Xu Xun was in a complicated mood and nodded heavily.

"Do not worry!"

……

The time soon came to night.

It is still the top of Hanyun Mountain.

Xu Xun was ready and stood alone, with a group of soldiers standing far behind him, lined up neatly but keeping a safe distance.

He also didn't want these fighters to cause unnecessary vigilance on the other side.

As the minutes and seconds passed, the time soon reached twelve o'clock.

Xu Xun's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a familiar white figure appearing in the sky.

The speed of the opponent was very fast, and he came to the front after a few minutes.

After landing steadily, the flying sword danced a beautiful sword flower in the air, and then disappeared in an instant, and it should also be put into the storage space.

"I've seen the immortal master." Xu Xun looked back in surprise, imitating the gesture of clasping fists of the ancients to salute.
