Chapter 1939 Sleepless Night
The convoy of Prince Charles and Prince William left the Temple Church, and they took away the stone of fate in the legendary Irish mythology and left only a signed art deal.
In this art transaction contract, every word is written very clearly.
The antique artwork used to exchange for this stone of fate in Ireland is the treasure of the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum, a copy of the Tang Dynasty "The Admonitions of the Female Historian" by Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In addition to this outstanding work by the earliest professional painter in China, there are also five thousand scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Sutra Cave. These five thousand scrolls and scriptures need Ye Tian to go to the British Museum to select them himself.
Of course, these priceless Chinese antique artworks and ancient documents are temporarily collected in the British Museum. After processing this treasure of the Knights Templar, Ye Tian will go to collect the goods!
After obtaining the "Princess of the Female Master" and ancient books and documents of the Dunhuang Sutra Cave, he will charter the priceless treasures back to Beijing as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
Although these priceless treasures have not been obtained yet, Ye Tian is not worried about the execution of this art transaction contract.
At the end of this art deal, the names of Prince Charles and Ye Tian were signed, as well as the names of Bishop Kent, the director and witness of the British Museum, as well as the signatures of lawyers from both parties.
To be on the safe side, this art transaction contract that was enough to sensation the world and the entire signing process were photographed by Ye Tian and uploaded to the cloud to store immediately.
This was to prevent the British royal family and the British Museum from turning against each other and going back on their word, so he reserved a backup plan to avoid being in vain.
But in fact, he didn't believe that these British men dared to cheat on themselves and broke their promises. If they really dared to do that, then they would be prepared to face extremely fierce revenge!
Even if the stone of Irish destiny was moved into Buckingham Palace and was strictly protected, Ye Tian had a way to get the broken stone out and send it to Northern Ireland.
By then, the British royal family would probably lose more than the stone of fate in Ireland!
In addition, with the exposure of the art transaction contract and related videos, the British royal family and the British Museum will also be disgraced and become the target of criticism from all people.
On this extremely tense winter night, Ye Tian and these British guys only reached an art deal, which was to transfer the stone of Irish destiny.
The rest of the antique relics such as King Edward I's golden crown, as well as those extremely precious historical documents, are still left in the temple in the temple and in Ye Tian's hands.
The reason why these antique cultural relics and historical documents were not sold is very simple. The conditions of the two sides were not reached, and because of time and situation, there was not much time for us to argue.
However, Ye Tian was not worried at all.
If these British men cannot meet the conditions they offer and are reluctant to take out the top Chinese antique artworks in their collections for exchange, they will immediately look for other buyers.
With the special significance and great value of those antique cultural relics and historical documents, as long as news is released, top collectors and famous museums all over the world will surely flock to start a fierce competition.
After Prince Charles and his group left for a few minutes, Bishop Kent came to Ye Tian and whispered in a serious tone:
"Steven, just ten minutes ago, the Pope, the Vatican priests, as well as diplomats, had just concluded their talks with the Israeli delegation.
The Israeli delegation is led by the president, which not only includes senior government officials, diplomats, but also some senior officials from Judaism and security departments.
These Israelites had a very tough attitude, claiming that the two Judaism holy objects must be taken back, King Solomon's golden candlestick and the Gospel of the Hebrews.
Of course, they are willing to pay the corresponding price for this. What is the specific price? It is unknown for the time being. It is nothing more than money, but the Vatican is not short of money.
In addition to the Israelites, other Protestant denominations, Greek Orthodox sects, Armenian sects, German Lutherans, etc. also made demands on these holy objects.
The Pope rejected all their unscrupulous requests. It is conceivable that those guys will definitely take action and it is not ruled out that they use force to seize these holy objects."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"That's inevitable. If I'm right, the violent explosion that happened on Fleet Street before should have been done by the Israelites. The guys in Mossad have always used all means to achieve their goals.
The crowd that poured into the Temple Church like a tide must have been mixed with many Mossad agents, especially those who were wearing monk suits and constantly bewitching the crowd. Most of them were Mossad agents.
In addition to the Israelites, there must be many people from other sects and various organizations who rushed into the temple and snatched treasures and holy relics in the chaos.
Fortunately, we reacted in time and arranged a large number of obstacles in the church, which blocked the crowd's impact and quickly reminded the terrified people to destroy the tricks of those guys, so that they were safe and sound!"
Bishop Kent nodded slightly and continued:
"It's already night, the light conditions are very poor, and it's cold outside, so it's obvious that it's impossible to transfer the fortune safely. The Pope hopes that you will continue to protect these Christian relics.
By tomorrow morning, a large number of security personnel will come to the Temple Church to transport these Christian relics away and preserve them separately. You don’t have to worry about the rest.
Next, the Pope will personally preside over a grand mass at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and openly display these Christian sacred objects that reappear in the world to all believers.
After the three-day mass ceremony, the Pope will return to the Vatican with these Christian relics, and we can continue to explore and go to the next country.”
"Let us continue to protect these Christian relics? Well, as long as these Christian relics are still in the temple church, no one can take them away from us.
It is completely conceivable that tonight will be a sleepless night. From now on, until tomorrow morning, these ten hours will become extremely long."
Ye Tian nodded with a smile, saying, without any disagreement.
"Except for you and the members of the Swiss Guard led by Leonardo, the rest of the security personnel who have arrived in London are responsible for protecting the Pope and his entourage, and the other part have come to the temple church.
In addition to the police in Scotland Yard and the numerous British soldiers with live ammunition, I believe it is enough to guard the Temple Church, protect those Christian relics, and hold on until tomorrow morning without any problem."
Bishop Kent continued confidently, but his eyes were filled with worry.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with Bishop Kent for a few more words, then ended the conversation and began to make some necessary arrangements.
He called Jason to his side and said to the boy:
"Jason, you lead a few company employees out and take all the sleeping bags we brought into the church. We won't go back to the Ritz Hotel tonight, we will stay here for a night until tomorrow morning.
Cole will send a few security personnel to protect you, and I will contact the site manager of Scotland Yard to send police to protect you, but you should be more careful."
"Okay, Steven, although don't worry, there will be no problem, we will be back soon."
Jason nodded and answered, then went to pick someone.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian turned on the micro microphone of the wireless invisible headphones and said in a low voice:
"Cole, send a few guys to protect Jason and the others outside the church, go to the convoy to get the sleeping bags we brought, and prepare to spend the night in the Temple Church, and tell the guys to be careful.
Another point is to release all the beetle drones we brought, use infrared night vision cameras to monitor the surrounding church, and prevent some ulterior motives from attacking in the night.
In addition to the church, you also set up some night vision monitoring equipment in the Central Temple and the Inner Temple and set up some traps. When Jason and the others come back, the Central Temple and the Inner Temple will become forbidden areas.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. I told every guy that I had opened my eyes wide and stared at everything around me. I could not relax for a second, and I was always ready to fight."
"Okay, Steven, I'll inform the guys now, just leave the security issues to us."
Cole whispered, then started his action.
As soon as he finished speaking, Leonardo's voice came from the intercom.
"Steven, the food delivery staff at the Ritz Hotel arrived, would they be allowed to come in?"
Upon hearing the notice, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"It's possible to get them in, but everyone has to search, the dining cart and all the cutlery must be thoroughly checked, and after they come in, we will also check every serving of food.
When we make sure that the food is safe and non-toxic, you can arrange for your trusted subordinates to come in to pick up the meal and then eat in batches. In this case, we must be extremely cautious.”
As the words fell, Leonardo's voice immediately came from the intercom again.
