Chapter 1856 Visiting Turin in the Snow
It's the second day of arriving in Turin, and the sky is still overcast, and the snow is sprinkled with snowflakes.
After breakfast, Ye Tian and David left the hotel where they were staying, and under the protection of a group of armed security personnel, they began to visit the ancient city of Turin.
The Bishop of Kent and Leonardo did not accompany them, they went to the Cathedral of Turin.
The church houses a famous Christian relic, the 'Shroud of Jesus', and they certainly can't help but visit it when they come to Turin.
As for the most closely preserved, controversial, and highly questionable Christian holy relic, Ye Tian was not interested in it and did not plan to visit it.
If he visits the Cathedral of Turin and sees the famous Christian relic, and finds that it is nothing more than a fake from the Middle Ages, would he say it or not?
Having said that, it will inevitably shake the entire Western world and attract a tidal wave of attacks, which is almost a sure thing.
Not to mention, this secret will naturally not be made public, only he knows, but that is not awkward.
In that case, why bother looking for the unhappy one!
Moreover, he came to Turin, in addition to going to France, mainly for the antique art market in Turin, not for the Shroud of Jesus.
Coming out of the hotel, Ye Tian looked up at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and then smiled and said to David beside him:
"Let's go, guys, let's go to Turin in the snow, it's going to be something special, maybe there's something surprising, that's great!"
As he spoke, he casually opened his bulletproof umbrella and walked forward with David, talking and laughing.
Around them, Cole's many security personnel had dispersed, quickly forming a strong line of defense to protect them.
Moreover, each of these security personnel held a bulletproof umbrella in his hand, and when all the umbrellas were opened, they immediately blocked the view of the people around them.
At this time, even if someone attacked, they would not be able to determine Ye Tian's location at all, they would only expose themselves and attract a crazy counterattack!
This time they visited Turin in the snow, Ye Tian and they did not take a car, but chose to walk, several bulletproof SUVs and a Knight XV civilian armored car, not far behind, ready to rush up to support.
Although Turin is the third largest city in Italy, the area is not small, but the historic center of Turin is not large, and it is very close to the hotel where Ye Tian and the others stayed.
That's why they chose to walk, which is the best way to see the historic centre of Turin, in order to truly appreciate the beauty and charm of the city.
Especially on such a special day when the snow is flying, strolling through the streets of Turin is sure to have a very chic feeling.
After leaving the hotel and walking a few steps forward, Ye Tian and the others saw a few familiar old friends, standing on the other side of the street, watching them.
Those guys were all Italian gendarmes, led by Pizarro, all the way from Rome to Turin, and every face was very familiar.
Seeing those guys, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded, saying hello, and then continued to stroll forward.
Pizarro nodded at them as well, but the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.
When Ye Tian and his group walked by, Pizarro immediately gritted his back molars and whispered:
"Guys, let's keep up, I'm sure Steven, the greedy bastard, came to Turin for the antique art market.
While it's hard to stop this bastard from ransacking the antique art market in Turin, keep an eye on this bastard and see what he can find.
If there is a priceless price of top-quality antique art, then we must not allow this bastard to take it out of Italy, and we must stay in Italy anyway!"
"Understood, Pizarro"
The rest of the Italian cultural relics gendarmes responded in unison, gritting their teeth one by one, but lacking some confidence in their eyes.
During this period of time, after frequent exchanges with Ye Tian three or four times, they were completely afraid, and everyone was apprehensive, and even very depressed, losing their previous pride and self-confidence.
After a few more words, Pizarro led these Italian cultural relics gendarmes to follow, closely following behind Ye Tian and his party.
In addition to these old friends of the Italian cultural relics gendarmerie, around Ye Tian and them, there were many Turin policemen in civilian clothes, all of whom were staring at Ye Tian and them, always on high alert.
In addition, seven or eight media reporters with cameras also followed behind, ready to capture the headlines that could happen at any time, and they were full of anticipation.
As for many churches and religious organizations such as the Martyrdom Mountain Hermitage, the Portuguese Jesuits, and the Greek Orthodox Church, as well as the mafia and other people, they also sent people to follow Ye Tian and them closely, watching their every move.
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to these tails behind him, and so did David.
Keeping an eye on these guys, and ready to deal with them, are naturally Cole and them, who are in charge of security, and those security guards who pretend to be tourists and blend in with the flow of people.
While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to Via Roma, and walked along this most prosperous and historic street in Turin, not far from Piazza San Carlo.
As before, during the journey, Ye Tian once again assumed the role of commentary, introducing the city of Turin to David and them.
"Turin's past and history began with the Savoy dynasty, a beautiful but not touristy Italian city where the old and the modern come together.
Turin is steeped in a strong European spirit and is permeated by an atmosphere of balance between Nordic and Mediterranean civilizations, but this unique urban atmosphere has its roots in the Roman ......"
Just when Ye Tian and the others were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the streets of Turin, chatting and chatting, and strolling forward with the sprinkled snowflakes, the people walking on the streets of Turin had already discovered them.
When people saw Ye Tian's familiar face and the fierce security guards walking around him, they couldn't help but feel a burst of shock and even some fear.
Where the group walked by, it was completely drowned out by the sound of discussion one after another.
"It's not a good thing that Steven and his gang are coming to Turin! Everywhere these American bastards go, they are bound to cause a huge storm, and Turin is no exception!
If that's the case, I'm sure the antique shops and galleries around Piazza San Carlo are going to be in bad luck and will be ransacked!"
"Could it be that the Knights Templar treasure is buried in Turin? I've never heard of anything in Turin related to the Knights Templar? God willing, these guys are just passing by, don't stay in Turin for long!"
In the midst of people's discussions, under the gaze of many curious eyes, Ye Tian and the others soon came to Piazza San Carlo, which was located in the middle of Roman Street.
It is a very elegant city square, not too large, rectangular in shape, surrounded by well-preserved Baroque historic buildings, each of which is basically the same height, most of them only three storeys.
Although these historic buildings are unified in style, they are all different in color, including yellow, white, red, dark brown, and other colors, which are colorful and pleasing to the eye!
All these historic Baroque buildings come together to form a beautiful ensemble of the city, which has earned the square a reputation as the studio of Turin.
On the ground floor of these historic Baroque buildings, there is a vaulted colonnade, and all the buildings are connected by colonnades that make a full circle around Piazza San Carlo.
In addition, in the center of Piazza San Carlo, stands a famous statue, the Bronze Horse, a bronze statue on horseback created in 1838 by the famous Italian sculptor Marocetti.
Beneath the colonnade in the northwest corner of the square is the famous San Federico shopping corridor, home to luxury stores that is a must-see for many people visiting Turin, especially women!
However, Ye Tian did not pay attention to these.
He came to Piazza San Carlo entirely because of the antique shops and galleries that dot the square.
Due to the cold snow and the fact that it is still early, there are not too many tourists visiting Piazza San Carlo.
The few tourists, in order to escape the wind and snow, basically stay under the baroque colonnades around the square, or wander through the newly opened luxury shops to buy or admire their favorite luxury goods!
At this time, Piazza San Carlo looked empty and somewhat bleak.
After Ye Tian and his party walked into this square, this famous square became a little popular, and it was not so deserted!
When he came here, Ye Tian was not in a hurry to visit the antique shops and galleries around the square, but strolled to the bronze statue of the horse in the center of the square and began to admire this famous statue and the surrounding Baroque historical buildings!
Many antique dealers and gallery owners who do business around Piazza San Carlo were the first to hear the news.
When they walked out of the store, through the snowflakes flying in the sky, they saw the figure standing in the middle of the square, looking up and admiring the surrounding scenery, everyone's face changed and became extremely ugly!
Each of them knew very well in their hearts that there would be a storm in St. Carlo Square today, and someone would be ransacked and become another bastard of Steven's knife!
Although they know it, they can't do anything at the moment, if they don't close their doors, then they can only pray secretly, hoping that the unlucky guy is not themselves!
