Chapter 1937 The Gunshots End
Prince Charles and the others passed the Central Temple smoothly, and under the protection of Leonardo and several members of the Swiss Guard, they came to the Inner Temple where Ye Tian and the others were located.
Most of the royal security personnel and the Scotland Yard special police who were in charge of protecting Prince Charles and the others were stopped by Leonardo and the others, and only two royal security personnel were allowed to accompany them for protection.
The royal security personnel and the Scotland Yard special police who were stopped all stayed outside the cordon of the central temple, that is, in the outer hall.
Just as Prince Charles and the others entered the inner shrine, the London police and British soldiers in the outer shrine had begun to jointly clear the scene and orderly evacuate the crowd that had poured into the temple church before.
When the crowd evacuates outside the temple church, the identification work will begin, and those guys who are mixed in the crowd, armed with weapons and ammunition, and have ulterior motives will be exposed.
At that time, a fierce gun battle might break out.
The British already hated those guys to death. The Scotland Yard police and British soldiers on duty outside the Temple Church would never easily let those guys who deliberately caused explosions and chaos be let go.
Of course, those guys must have strategies to deal with it.
They may secretly throw away the weapons and ammunition they carry and turn into ordinary tourists, or they have a legal identity for cover, and it is even possible to use diplomatic immunity!
Naturally, Ye Tian wouldn't care about those guys' life or death, he loves them to death!
What he is most concerned about now is how to blackmail the British guy, slay the British guy, and earn him a lot of money. That is the most practical thing.
As soon as Prince Charles and others entered the inner temple, Ye Tian and Bishop of Kent greeted them proactively.
Walking closer, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Good evening, Your Royal Highness, I'm Steven, nice to meet you"
"Mr. Steven, good evening, I'm Charles, I'm glad to meet you too, welcome to London, and congratulations on your series of world-shaking discoveries today.
I highly appreciate and thank you for the way you handled this emergency. Thanks to your timely response, heavy losses and casualties were avoided.”
Prince Charles nodded with a smile and shook hands with Ye Tian.
At the same time, he also looked Ye Tian up and down, the depths of his eyes were full of fear and greedy.
None of these escaped Ye Tian's eyes, but he turned a blind eye and continued to be polite to the other party with a smile on his face.
Next, Prince Charles shook hands with the Bishop of Kent and David, and introduced each other.
After going through these face-saving procedures, everyone quickly got to the point, and the outside situation did not allow everyone to waste time here.
"Mr. Steven, the reason why we took the risk to come to the Temple Church overnight, and the specific purpose, you all know very well, we mainly came for the Irish Stone of Destiny.
In addition, we also want to take back King Edward I's golden crown and his and the Earl of Lancaster's crusader knight equipment as soon as possible. Those antiques are very important to the British royal family.
In addition to these antique relics closely related to the British royal family, we are also very interested in the historical documents left by the Knights Templar and the collections of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Here are the most outstanding experts and historians of antique art identification in the UK,
As long as those valuable antiques and cultural relics are identified as genuine, we can discuss this art transaction."
Prince William said with a smile, and raised his hand to gesture to the curator of the British Museum and others.
Although Prince Charles has visited the Temple Church in person, it is clear that the person who presides over the art transaction on behalf of the British royal family is still Prince William.
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"You are right, Your Highness, I am very clear about your intentions, and I also hope that we can reach an agreement to complete this art transaction, and everyone will be happy.
Gentlemen, please come with me. For the sake of confidentiality and safety, we have specially prepared an appraisal room. The appraisal of those antiques and business negotiations will all be carried out in the appraisal room.
When everyone enters the appraisal room, we will move all the antique cultural relics that are closely related to the British royal family into the appraisal room for everyone to appreciate and appraise, including those extremely precious historical documents."
After speaking, Ye Tian made a gesture of invitation, and then took the lead to step out, leading Prince Charles and Prince William to the identification room not far away.
The two royal security personnel accompanying Prince Charles and the others were about to follow up, but they were stopped by Cole and the others. They could only stay in the center of the inner temple, and they were under the surveillance of Cole and the others.
Soon, everyone entered the appraisal room and sat down at the temporarily arranged workbench.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and Bishop of Kent left the appraisal room, and then led people into the temporary vault to move those priceless antiques.
In less than ten minutes, those antique relics closely related to the British royal family, as well as those extremely precious historical documents, were moved into this temporary appraisal room.
The last antique cultural relic moved into the appraisal room was the Irish Stone of Destiny that was most valued by the British royal family, and it was Ye Tian himself who moved this priceless treasure.
Entering the appraisal room, placing this heavy dark gray stone on the ground, Ye Tianzheng was about to speak.
At this moment, there was a sudden piercing gunshot outside the Temple Church.
"bang bang bang"
The gunshots were like rain, directly penetrating the outer hall and central hall of the Temple Church, and clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The moment they heard the gunshot, everyone in the appraisal room changed their expressions, even Ye Tian, who appropriately showed a bit of nervousness.
"What's going on? Who's shooting outside?"
Prince Charles asked in a deep voice, with a rather nervous expression.
Before he finished speaking, Cole's voice came from the intercom.
"Steven, the London police checked their identities outside the church and found two guys with weapons and ammunition. The two guys of unknown origin suddenly opened fire and ran towards the Thames River."
Hearing the news reported by Cole, Ye Tian immediately said in a deep voice:
"Understood, Cole, you just need to guard the inner sanctum and central sanctuary of the temple church. Don't worry about things outside the church. I believe the police and soldiers outside can handle it."
While they were talking, gunfire continued to come from outside the Temple Church, and it became more and more intense. There were both assault rifle shots and pistol shots, and it sounded like a lively fight.
Accompanied by intense gunshots, shrill sirens, the roar of car engines, the loud yelling of the London police, and countless terrified screams, crying, etc., were constantly heard from outside the church.
It's like a war symphony, it's wonderful, and the place where this symphony is played is located in the heart of London, a world-famous city.
As soon as Ye Tian's words fell, Prince William picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact the outside to learn about the situation outside.
What he learned was the same as what Cole had reported before. The exchange of fire outside was indeed caused by the London police's identity check.
At this time, the outside of the temple church has once again become a mess.
The frightened people, who hadn't even caught their breath, were startled by the sudden and intense gunshots.
What's even more frightening is that this gun battle took place in the square in front of the Temple Church, right in front of everyone's eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, as soon as the gunfire rang out, the people who had gathered in the square in front of the Temple Church and the surrounding area immediately dispersed and fled in a panic again, fleeing in all directions.
Those guys with ulterior motives mixed in the crowd, along with the scattered people, strode towards the distance one by one, trying to escape the police's interrogation.
For them, this is a godsend opportunity to escape, how could they miss it?
In the process of escaping, these guys were still secretly thanking those two idiots who broke out and exchanged fire with the police. Without those two idiots, how could they have such a good chance of escaping.
As for those two idiots, they were running furiously toward the Thames while firing violently behind and around them.
Not far behind them, a large number of heavily armed London police and British soldiers are chasing after them, and they are also firing non-stop.
Obviously, the two idiots who suddenly opened fire will have no escape. They will either be shot dead by the police on the spot, or they will be arrested by the police and go to jail.
The latest situation that happened in front of the Temple Church quickly spread throughout the UK and even the world, once again causing a huge commotion.
In the temple inside the Temple Church, the atmosphere was relatively calm.
Seeing Prince William put down the walkie-talkie, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, and gentlemen, leave the outside affairs to the police. If you can't even deal with this situation, Scotland Yard will only be in vain.
As for the inside of the Temple Church, especially the Central Temple and the Inner Temple, they are all under the control of our company security personnel and the Vatican Swiss Guard. It is absolutely safe, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Let's start the appraisal. I know that what you are most concerned about and want to get is the legendary Irish Stone of Destiny, so let's start with this Stone of Destiny! "
Saying that, Ye Tian squatted down, stretched out his hand and opened the sealed bag containing the Stone of Destiny.
