Chapter 130: Her Royal Highness the Princess' Gift
133. Gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess
For a princess to be smuggled out of the country from Alama, that was no small matter.
In order to keep his promise, Tang Wen needed to use two Black Hawks and an F35 to escort him this time. Of course, compared to the rewards, these are just small amounts of money.
Gu Han first sent 30 members of the Blood Saber to garrison in the name of being hired by PMC. With the help of sewers, the ancient Han Dynasty dug a 30-meter tunnel connected to the place where vehicles were prepared.
The princess was then protected by a vehicle as she walked to the border, protected by a Black Hawk helicopter to the Scarlet Saber base in Africa, and finally arrived in London by IL-76 to complete the transaction.
The next day, the princess arrived on time at the hotel for the royal family to rest. Gu Han and others opened a back door in the bathroom on the first floor in advance. The princess would send a message to Gu Han when she arrived.
After receiving the news, Gu Han opened the door outside, then asked her to put on the prepared black robe, and the people with the bloody saber led her directly from the basement into the sewer pipe.
After entering the pipeline, one person is responsible for clearing the way in front, while the other is left to clean up the traces of everyone. A few minutes later, the princess got into the bloody saber's car and drove towards the edge of the coastline.
The Black Hawk helicopter had been waiting for a long time. After picking up everyone, the helicopter first flew to the African coastline ten kilometers away, and then drove towards the base in a Blood Saber armored vehicle.
The whole process took no more than thirty minutes. By the time the Princess Guards discovered something was wrong, the princess was already in Africa.
After arriving at the base in Africa, the IL-76 transporting gold was already there, so the princess flew to London with the IL-76 loaded with gold.
"Hello Princess Niya, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Tang Wen said with a smile as he looked at the exotic woman wearing a veil in front of him.
"Thank you Mr. Tang, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to escape." Niya shook her head and said.
Then she took out a red glass piece from her handbag and handed it to Tang Wen and said, "You will need this."
"What is this?" Tang Wen asked as he took the piece of glass from Niya's hand.
Niya shook her head: "I don't know, I just know that this one comes with the ring."
Tang Wen nodded and continued: "Okay, Miss Niya, I will arrange for you to live in one of my villas. You can make plans after the news is over. Is that understandable?"
Niya smiled and replied: "Okay."
She naturally understood that her appearance was a challenge to the authority of the royal family. If she showed her face now, it would be too disrespectful to the royal family, and it might be self-defeating.
It's better to listen to Tang Wen. After the royal family's search turns out to be fruitless, she will be much safer when she comes out. Moreover, she lives in Tang Wen's villa, and she feels very at ease with the protection of the bloody saber.
As for why she is not afraid that Tang Wen will take things and do nothing, it must be the "honor" of the Blood Saber. In the industry, the Scarlet Saber is said to fight to the last man as long as it accepts a mission.
The good "word of mouth" made the Scarlet Saber famous, so Niya dared to ask the Scarlet Saber to help her escape.
After sending Niya away, Tang Wen held the red "glass piece" and had questions. Judging by time, this thing has a history of hundreds of years, and it seems that this thing is closely related to that treasure map.
With doubts, Tang Wen brought the treasure map, and then pointed the glass piece at the treasure map, and something unexpected happened.
The bright light surrounding the box turned out to be a skull under the lens. You can tell it's a trap sign at a glance.
Tang Wen quickly called Jesse.
Jesse took the lens and looked at the treasure map carefully before saying in wonder: "We still underestimated the Templars. This treasure map is just a bait."
He raised the lens in his hand and praised: "If a person without lenses gets this treasure map and follows the instructions above, he will most likely die."
Tang Wen was surprised: "Is it a scam?"
Jesse shook his head and said: "The BOSS treasure map is real, but all the routes on it are fake. The location of the treasure marked on it may be a trap, but it's different when we have this."
After speaking, he raised the lens in his hand.
Tang Wen flew to London from the United States, not to greet the "princess" but to hunt for treasure, so Tang Wen immediately asked JA to find some "members" responsible for map surveying.
After Jesse and a dozen Blood Saber experts interpreted it overnight, Jesse came to Tang Wen the next day with red eyes and said excitedly: "BOSS, we found it."
"Where is it?" Tang Wen asked impatiently.
Jesse brought a map of France, pointed to a place and said to Tang Wen, "It's right here, the Hornpue Manor in the suburbs."
"Hornpool Manor?"
"Yes, boss, this is the inheritance of a wool tycoon, but all his descendants have passed away. Now his old butler Caesar is responsible for looking after the manor."
"Can you be more specific?" Tang Wen said with a frown. It was obviously not enough to just rely on the name of a manor to find treasures.
"BOSS, I have asked people to check the specific information about Hornpu Manor. Unfortunately, the information we have obtained so far is only this little." Jesse said apologetically.
"Well, let's go over there and take a look. If it doesn't work, just buy it." Tang Wen said nonchalantly. It was too easy for him to buy a manor now.
After getting in the car, Jesse also received the information for the inquiry.
Hornpu Manor was built in Bob I. The first owner was Hornpu Bob. According to the information, he was a blacksmith. The family emblem was a cross of a hammer and a big sword, and a giant bear below.
One strange thing is that Hornpu appeared just when the Knights Templar were cleared. According to his own autobiography, he was a blacksmith in Switzerland before.
But it didn't say where exactly. Hornpu saved a lot of property with his superb sword-making skills. Just when others thought he would continue, he chose to do wool business.
Hornpu bought 10 sheep with the money earned from opening a blacksmith shop, and he made a fortune. Later, Bob's family held meetings to do wool business for generations.
But the most bizarre thing is that every member of the Bob family died inexplicably.
For example, when Hornp's business was at its peak, he broke his neck while riding a horse and died on the spot.
Bob II drowned when his leg cramped while bathing in the river.
Bob III died from an accidental fall from the third floor.
Bob IV died from an accidental fire.
Bob V died from food poisoning.
The last head of the family, Bob XII, died in a car accident.
So everyone said that the Bob family was cursed, but Tang Wen obviously didn't believe it. More than twelve heads of the family died in accidents over 700 years.
The funniest thing is that Bob VI died of alcohol?
Could it be that someone deliberately wanted to silence the Bob family to keep a secret?
With doubts, Tang Wen and his party came to Hornp Manor.
I saw a black castle standing on the withered yellow grass, accompanied by the unique gray sky of France, making the whole castle look particularly gloomy and terrifying.
"Sorry, sir, this is private land, please leave." After JA went up and knocked on the door, the door of the castle opened and an old man with white hair and cloudy eyes said in a bad tone.
"I'm sorry, we just want to rent this place to shoot a few scenes." Tang Wen said with a smile.
The old man who was originally confused saw the bone ring on Tang Wen's hand, and suddenly his eyes flashed with a gleam and said respectfully: "In accordance with God's will, welcome the return of the owner of the holy land."
After saying that, he took the initiative to open the door, looked around to make sure that no one was there, and then the old man quickly closed the door.
"Old sir, did you misunderstand? I'm not even a believer." Tang Wen smiled bitterly.
"You have a holy ring in your hand, which means you are the one chosen by God." The old man said respectfully.
Tang Wen took off the ring and asked, "Are you talking about this?"
The old man knelt down quickly and put one hand on his chest and said with a sacred face: "The glory of the Lord always shines on the knight, and the place where the cross points must be the gate of heaven."
"Why am I getting more and more dizzy." Tang Wen said speechlessly.
After the old man finished the ceremony, he respectfully invited Tang Wen to the living room.
"Master, are you here for the Ark this time?"
"Ark?" Tang Wen was confused. It was not a treasure, so why did another Ark appear?
Jesse on the side explained: "The Ark in the Knights Templar represents the last hope, which is the place on the map."
"I see," Tang Wen nodded.
"Wait a minute, master, please follow me." The old man nodded, and then motioned Tang Wen to follow him.
Tang Wen had some doubts, but he still led everyone to follow the old man forward. The old man walked to the staircase of the castle and turned to walk down the stairs.
The old man first pressed several different places on the stairs with his hands in sequence. Then he opened the side door of the stairs, and saw the stone slab under the side door suddenly rise up.
"Master, please follow me." The old man turned and said to Tang Wen, and then pushed the stone slab open easily. Tang Wen then discovered that there was a row of pulleys under the stone slab.
The old man took the oil lamp next to him and walked down first.
"This is the secret room that the family of Bob, deputy leader of the Knights Templar, has guarded for generations." The old man said proudly, and then he picked up the torch next to him and lit it with a lighter, and the whole basement became extremely bright.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Wen was completely dumbfounded.
I saw thirteen statues kneeling on one knee with medieval swords in their hands, bowing their heads and kneeling towards a stone platform.
"These are all members of Bob's family. Back then, the deputy leader of the Knights Templar, Hornp, swore to protect the last code of the Knights Templar. Even if all the people in the family were persecuted, they could not stop us." The old man said proudly.
At this moment, Tang Wen discovered that there was a line of words under almost every statue. They all recorded the deeds of family members fighting against various enemies in order to keep secrets.
