Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 571 - 383: Loads of Hot Money

The Xuanyuan Mirror, along with the Qin King’s Bone-Reflecting Mirror, the Six-Nose Mirror, and the No-Disease Mirror, is collectively known as one of the four mysterious ancient mirrors of archaic Huaxia.

According to the pharmacological classic "Compendium of Materia Medica," this mirror was created by an ancient Huaxia emperor—Huangdi, hence it is later referred to as the Xuanyuan Mirror.

This magical mirror is reputed to ward off evil spirits and possesses the ability to discern the true identity of emperors, only usable by royalty.

A folk tale speaks of this unique ability of the Xuanyuan Mirror, stating that it can identify true emperors; if an emperor lacks legitimate lineage, the mirror will fall and crush him.

It is said that former President Yuan ordered the dragon throne to be moved back by three meters during his enthronement to avoid the Xuanyuan Mirror hanging above the Taihe Hall, fearing it might fall...

After reading the online introduction about the Xuanyuan Mirror, Qi Yun became even more puzzled.

According to what was online, the Xuanyuan Mirror is spherical and now hangs directly above the emperor’s throne in the Taihe Hall. So why did De Gaulle say this Bronze Mirror was the Xuanyuan Mirror?

Qi Yun fixed his gaze on De Gaulle and voiced his confusion: "Mr. De Gaulle, how did you determine this mirror is the Xuanyuan Mirror? Shouldn’t the real Xuanyuan Mirror be in the palace in Beijing?"

De Gaulle took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before speaking, "Mr. Qi, you’re right, there is indeed a Xuanyuan Mirror in the palace in Beijing."

"But that’s just a replica, created after Zhu Di moved the capital, to showcase legitimacy—a replica that can’t even reflect people, let alone discern emperors."

Qi Yun raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "You know all this?"

De Gaulle nodded, his voice full of certainty, "Mr. Qi, to be honest, although my family doesn’t have a complete map, there is a record regarding six items."

"Years ago, my ancestors went to that palace in person and recognized that Xuanyuan Mirror was not the real one."

"If you don’t believe me, you can check the back of the Bronze Mirror you’re holding. See if there is a circle in the center, with seven dots arranged in the order of the Big Dipper stars."

With this, most of Qi Yun’s doubts were alleviated.

Although he didn’t photograph the back of the Bronze Mirror, as it holds critical information, he clearly remembers that the back of the mirror does indeed have a circle, matching De Gaulle’s description.

"Alright." Qi Yun nodded.

Seeing that Qi Yun believed him, De Gaulle’s expression turned serious again, "Then Mr. Qi, next we need to gather the clues from the six locations together to unveil the final secret."

"According to my family’s records, these six clues are actually guides; breaking them will lead to the true Land of Eternal Life."

Qi Yun did not respond immediately, if he just revealed the information behind the Bronze Mirror, what if this guy sneaks off alone to the ’Land of Eternal Life’ and leaves him out?

Wouldn’t he have worked so hard for nothing?

De Gaulle kept observing Qi Yun, seemingly sensing his hesitation, and spoke again, "Mr. Qi, I understand your concern."

"Whether it’s the stele buried in Lop Nur or this Bronze Mirror, you’ve contributed a lot, so I understand your worries."

Saying this, he pulled a piece of paper from his suit pocket and pushed it towards Qi Yun, "This is a Swiss Bank promissory note worth five hundred million euros, representing my sincerity. Regardless of whether we find the Land of Eternal Life, this money is yours."

"Additionally, I promise on the Gwen Clan’s honor not to head to the Land of Eternal Life alone if we decipher the clues from the guides."

Five hundred million euros!

Not a small sum...

It’s clear De Gaulle came well-prepared, considering even his worries, and genuinely went all out for this so-called ’Land of Eternal Life.’

As for the honor of the Gwen Clan? It’s far less credible to Qi Yun than those five hundred million euros.

In the face of absolute benefits, the word ’honor’ seems too flimsy.

But since the other party showed enough sincerity, Qi Yun, not being one to hem and haw, nodded satisfactorily, "Mr. De Gaulle, I’ve seen your sincerity, and when I return, I will take photos of the back of the Bronze Mirror for you." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"At the same time, I hope you can share information regarding the other four locations with me, so we can jointly find ways to decipher them. Progress should be a bit faster."

De Gaulle did not directly refuse, pondering for a few seconds before replying, "No problem, but I can’t decide alone; I need the family’s approval."

"I will communicate with them as soon as possible and let you know the answer."

Qi Yun was unsure about the truth in his words, but receiving five hundred million euros provided some reassurance: "Alright, then I’ll be waiting."

After leaving the tea house, Qi Yun returned home, retrieved the Bronze Mirror from the safe, took several photos, and sent them to De Gaulle.

Then, just as he was about to head to the company to handle some affairs, he received a call from Vice President Song Zhenhai of the Huaineng Group, naturally about the photovoltaic project.

Qi Yun had a good impression of this person, future collaboration wouldn’t always involve constant scheming.

But over in Shanghai, he had Huang Zhiqiang’s request, and both his future father-in-law and Xiao Hanguang hoped to collaborate over there, so Qi Yun was still leaning more towards Shanghai.
