Chapter 1802: A Dangerous Powder Keg

"Steven, you guys can get out of the car, the scene is safe"

Hearing Cole's report, Ye Tian immediately reached out to open the car door, walked out of the bulletproof SUV with David one after another, and landed on the square in front of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

"Huh~!"

Almost everyone in the square looked at this side, and countless eyes were focused on Ye Tian.

Because of their different positions, people look at him differently, some are curious and full of anticipation, and some are jealous and full of vigilance.

The many media reporters who followed the convoy were like chickens, each carrying a camera or video camera, spreading their legs and rushing towards Ye Tian's location.

Unfortunately, before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by the Israeli military police, who had been prepared, and they could not get close at all.

The tourists who happened to visit near the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the MUSI forest who had come to make the pilgrimage looked at it with curiosity and whispered about it.

"Wow! It's Steven, I didn't expect them to come to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, could it be that the Knights Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque?"

"If that's the case, then it's a big problem, don't forget, Steven is working with the Vatican to explore the Templar treasures, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a holy place for both YISI and Judaism.

According to the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Al-Aqsa Mosque will always belong to MUSI-lin, but the Israeli army has surrounded the Al-Aqsa Mosque and coveted this holy place all the time.

In such a complicated situation, it is almost impossible for Steven's joint Vatican exploration team to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque and explore the treasures, except with the help of the Israeli army.

That could well lead to a third intifada of the Palestinian people, or even a larger religious war, which was triggered by Sharon's forcible invasion of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2000!"

While the many tourists and pilgrims in the square whispered, they were also worried, and some of them even felt that the place had become very dangerous, so they prepared to leave for safety.

As it is, it has indeed become a huge powder keg, and if you throw a spark, it may completely detonate and cause a violent conflict.

With the arrival of a joint exploration team and a large number of Israeli military and police, a large number of Palestinian youths scattered throughout the square began to gather at the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

These guys were all sturdy, sharp-eyed, marching in groups of three or five, covering each other, looking very disciplined, and apparently a well-trained group of soldiers.

Although they don't have weapons in their hands, they still have a certain threat that cannot be ignored!

In addition to these Palestinian youths, other people from different backgrounds, such as Armenians, members of the Martyr's Order, and Portuguese Jesuits, also took action.

Most of them began to move in the direction of the entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and some of the leading guys greeted Ye Tian and them.

Regarding these changes in the square in front of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Ye Tian saw them all.

However, he turned a blind eye, and his face was always filled with a bright smile, and he could not see any change in mood.

As he spoke, Bishop Kent and Leonardo had already walked over and joined Ye Tian and them.

When he came near, the Bishop of Kent immediately smiled bitterly and whispered:

"I really didn't expect that so many people came when they heard the news, and all of them were not good, this situation is too complicated and too dangerous, today we may have to run empty, and we can't enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque smoothly!"

"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, the situation is indeed very complicated and dangerous, and if you are not careful, it may lead to a violent conflict.

However, I believe that we will find a way to crack it, and even if we can't enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque today, it doesn't matter, just come here to visit!

Without further ado, let's go over and meet the scheming guys, and to be honest, I'm still interested in some of them, like the Martyrdom Retreat!

Legend has it that they were loyal fans of the Merovingian dynasty, developed on the open basis of the Templars, and in them, a clue to a treasure may be found!"

Ye Tian smiled and whispered, and pointed to the guys in front of him who came from different ways.

With that, he stepped out and walked towards the gate of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Bishop of Kent and the others looked at each other, and then followed closely behind, their eyes still full of worry.

Cole and several members of the Swiss Guards quickly dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, a strong mobile defense line was built around Ye Tian and them, protecting them as they walked towards the gate of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

As for the Israeli military and police who followed, they were all cut off from the defensive line and could only stand guard on the perimeter.

After a few steps forward, Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture Joshua led a group of people to walk briskly from the side and converged with Ye Tian and them.

These guys Ye Tian basically know each other, and they are all familiar faces who have appeared at the airport before.

There are the director of the National Museum of Israel, several religious leaders of Judaism and Christianity, several high-ranking officials of the Antiquities Authority, and so on.

Only two were born: two Arab members of the Knesset who were the main figures in charge of communication with the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

After meeting with Ye Tian and them, Joshua first introduced the two Arab parliamentarians, and then whispered with a solemn face:

"Mr. Steven, as you can see, the situation today is very complicated, and there are many unexpected people, I hope you can remain rational and restrained, and never break out into conflict with anyone.

Once a conflict breaks out, in a highly sensitive place like the Al-Aqsa Mosque, it is very likely to lead to an unmanageable situation, and to put it mildly, there is a certain possibility of triggering a war.

If you can't enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque today, don't force it, let alone regret it, just withdraw to the hotel for the time being, and come back tomorrow, tomorrow will be a different situation."

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the high-ranking Israeli official, and then said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Minister Joshua, we are here to find clues to the treasure, not to fight anyone, this is the holy city of the Three Religions, with a long history, and we can't bear to destroy it.

If no one takes the initiative to attack, we will never cause trouble and deliberately provoke a war, but for the sake of our own security, we will not give up the right to legitimate defense, and no one can deprive this right.

As for whether we can enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque to find clues to the treasure, depending on the situation, we will not force it, we can come back another day, there is time, I am personally very happy to stay in Jerusalem for a few more days!"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Joshua's tense nerves did not relax, but became more tense, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

The right to legitimate self-defense?

You murderous men, not under the guise of legitimate self-defense, sent all the fools who dared to attack you to hell and turned all the places you passed into battlefields.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the vicinity of the large number of media reporters who had been stopped by the Israeli military police, and were about to walk past these guys.

In the face of such a good opportunity, these battle-hardened uncrowned kings were willing to let go, and some people immediately seized the opportunity to start asking questions out loud.

"Good morning, Steven, Bishop of Kent, I'm a reporter for the Christian Monitor, and your first stop in Jerusalem is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, does that mean the Knights Templar treasure is buried here?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, Bishop of Kent, I'm a reporter for The Times in London, how are you going to explore if the Knights Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque?

According to the United Nations resolution, the Al-Aqsa Mosque will always belong to and be managed by the MUSI Forest, but you are looking for the treasure of the Crusader Knights, which is said to contain Christian relics.

Will you be able to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque? I personally doubt that, unless you have reached some kind of agreement with the Al-Aqsa Mosque, can you explain it to you here?"

Hearing the questions of these media reporters, Ye Tian couldn't help but curse secretly:

"The uncrowned king of bullshit, this is a group of bastards who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic! Everyone should be pulled out and shot to death and sentenced to death!"

Not only Ye Tian, Bishop Kent, but also Joshua, the Deputy Minister of Culture of Israel, and his party, when they heard the questions of these media reporters, they all hated the root of their teeth, but they were helpless!

Ye Tian, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped, and then turned to look at the excited media reporters.

David and Bishop Kent, who were walking side by side with him, and the others also had to stop and stand in place to see how Ye Tian dealt with the media reporters who were the best at fanning the flames.

At the entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a large number of Palestinian youths, or soldiers of the Palestinian security forces, have already listed several human walls at the entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Without exception, the eyes of these guys were all very resolute, unwavering, and they could not see the slightest fear, staring at Ye Tian's side with fierce eyes, and many people's eyes flashed with hatred.

Obviously, they are ready to die desperately, even with their lives, to protect their holy place, the Al-Aqsa Mosque!

Not far in front of them was a human wall of Armenians, and although it looked loose, every guy in the wall was not a good man.

Each of them has a firm belief and a consciousness to dedicate themselves to the faith, otherwise they would not be here and on this occasion.

A little further on, there are members of the Martyr's Order and the Portuguese Society of Jesus, as well as some other sects and religious groups, as well as religious organizations, scattered and numerous.

These guys had all stopped, watching Ye Tian's situation from afar, and waiting for them to come.

As for the ordinary tourists and MUSI Lin pilgrims in the square, they had sensed that the situation was wrong and the atmosphere was tense, and they walked to both sides of the square to ensure safety.

The same is true of the security guards under Ye Tian who pretended to be tourists and blended in the crowd, and they also walked quickly to both sides of the square, continuing to blend in the crowd and secretly guard.
