Chapter 41: The Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army
Because there is nothing to do here all the year round, it will not give you the opportunity to make a contribution at all, on the contrary, something happens, that is, the big crime of killing the head, which can be said to be extremely risky and extremely low in return.
Most of the eunuch palaces guarding inside were directly assigned after committing crimes.
Although the forbidden army changes every few years, it is basically a marginalized figure. It can be said that the imperial mausoleum is a good place to retire.
Of course, the premise is that there are no accidents, and no one is running around looking for trouble.
But then again, the Imperial Tomb is where the ancestral tomb of the royal family is located, and no one is not afraid of death to run to the Imperial Tomb to stir up the situation, that is, to find death.
The third Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Tomb is responsible for guarding the Imperial Tomb.
At this moment, the commander of the Third Praetorian Guard was wearing a full body of armor, and because he had not worn his body for a long time, he gradually became rich, and this armor actually had a heavy feeling on his body.
But he was not afraid at all, even so, he still let his subordinates put the armor on his body, although he was almost out of breath when he strangled his neck, and his face was red, but he was still speechless with excitement
"Hurry up, let all the Praetorian Guards gather for me, and tell them that the time has come for them to make a meritorious deed, and if anyone dares to eat for a moment, I will give them their heads."
Commander Xue of the Third Praetorian Guard roared in the sky, but unfortunately his body had long been hollowed out by wine and meat, and even the roaring sound was like a weak scream.
"Yes"
The pro-soldier beside him. hurriedly ran away, and then there was a crackling sound of gongs and drums calling the military order outside.
The voice was so loud that some of the forbidden soldiers got up and cursed
"Xue Tong, what kind of nerves are you, today is not the day to gather, what are you going to do if you gather us together?"
"That's it, I just tossed around in Cuihualou yesterday for a night, and today I finally fell asleep, and I have to get up again, doesn't he know that not sleeping will affect my skin?"
"What kind of nerves is this Commander Xue having, summoning us so early in the morning, could it be said that something is wrong?"
"Less, where are we here, we are here in the Imperial Mausoleum, who dares to come to the Imperial Mausoleum to cause trouble, aren't they afraid of the Nine Clans?"
"It's just that we can't even get mosquitoes in here, what can happen, nothing big is a big thing"
"Okay, okay, hurry up, although I admit that our Commander Xue is indeed a waste, and he was assigned to this mausoleum to guard the imperial tomb, but it is undeniable that although he is a waste, he is our commander after all"
"Hurry up, everyone, maybe someone from above is coming, otherwise the commander would not be able to summon us in such a hurry."
"Hurry up, everyone, assemble quickly."
As the name suggests, the forbidden army is the guard that protects the royal family, and it should be the elite of the elite.
In fact, the forbidden army is indeed the elite of the elite, with good weapons and equipment and training, but the ones assigned to this guardian tomb are different.
To be precise, the people who guard the imperial tomb are basically some offended people who have no future, and they are sent here and belong to exile.
So it sounds very good, and the responsibility is also very heavy, but in fact, the entire forbidden army is extremely corrupt, and everyone is fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
At first, he may have been serious, but over the years, he found that there was not even a mouse here, no one asked, no one cared, and there was no oil and water, and over time it became decadent.
One by one, they are either fishing or playing cards, or they are hanging out, and the training once every few days has long been changed to once every few months.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still in charge, he probably forgot that he was a soldier.
Xue Tonglong, the commander of the Third Forbidden Army, wore obviously small armor, panting and ran to the teaching ground, and after waiting for about half an hour, he saw that his generals were late, some of them were indecently dressed, not to mention the armor, they were completely lazy.
He suddenly became angry
"I'll call all the generals together, give another quarter of an hour, and if any of the generals haven't come over, catch them for me, and then deal with them by military law."
Xue Tong was ruthless, after all, he was the commander of the Third Forbidden Army and had the power of life and death.
Soon, the soldiers rushed out and directly escorted some of the late or disheveled ones out of a bamboo board barbecue. These generals who beat the ghost cried wolf.
But the effect of killing chickens and monkeys is also quite good, and soon some casual generals knew that Commander Xue was very ruthless, and hurriedly dressed up, and finally looked like a general
Commander Xue nodded with satisfaction, took a step forward and coughed
"Brothers, the time has come for us to make a difference"
Is it time to make a difference?
Hell, there is a fart in this imperial mausoleum, and there are many opportunities to take the blame.
If given a choice, who would want to come here to guard the mausoleum?
A few well-connected generals below yawned and shouted
"Commander Xue, didn't you wake up? Meritorious service, what is there to do in our poor place. If nothing happens, thank goodness."
"That is, if you still make meritorious contributions, who rushed to our side if you have nothing to do, can it be said that someone dares to attack the imperial tomb?"
"Dream, attacking the emperor is a big crime of the Nine Clans."
Listening to the generals below talking word by word, Commander Xue nodded heavily
"Brothers, you say, this time someone is going to attack our imperial tomb, and the attacker is Ruliukou!"
"What. Someone really came to attack the Imperial Tomb, he is missing a root in his brain."
"Doesn't he know how dead words are written?"
"Rogue Kou, is it caught in the brain? If you want to attack our imperial mausoleum, don't you know that if something happens to us here, as long as you send a cloud-piercing arrow, all the auxiliary officers and soldiers around Jinnan Mansion will come to support. He didn't even know how he died."
"A rogue is a rogue is a rogue, are you poor and crazy?"
The soldiers of the Third Forbidden Brigade immediately talked about it, but no one felt scared or panicked.
They are indeed a bunch of waste, but they belong to the Forbidden Army after all.
All of its own martial arts and equipment are the best, and most importantly, the importance of the imperial tomb.
But whenever there is something, an arrow through the clouds comes out, and all the officers and soldiers in all directions will come to the rescue with their lives, after all, once the imperial tomb is breached, their forbidden army is indeed not happy, but the nearby government yamen joins the army, generals, don't want to run.
"Is Commander Xue's message wrong with you? No matter how bad the rogues are, they won't be stupid to such an extent."
"That is, to attack our imperial tomb? Just kidding, it's simply impossible, which tendon is he missing from his brain? ”
"Fake, this information must be fake"
The generals clearly did not believe it.
Commander Xue listened to the sound of discussion below, coughed twice, suppressed the discussion, and said coldly
"Although you think it is false, I tell you that this is true, and this news is indeed true, so this is our chance to make a difference."
"Think about it, if you think about it, the rogues attacked the imperial tomb, and we, as the forbidden army, protected the imperial tomb and killed its rogues, this credit goes up, all of us can be promoted to the rank of knight, and we can also leave the damn place"
"Or do you want to stay here and eat until you die?"
"You can wait for death if you want, but I want to get out of here, and I want to soar."
Commander Xue's words instantly quieted down the generals below, and their eyes were shining.
Whoever wants to stay here as a rice worm certainly wants to be able to leave here.
There is not even a chance to make a contribution here, so you can eat and drink properly and wait for death.
"Commander, of course we are willing to make meritorious deeds, but if it is really a rogue, can we kill the rogue? I heard that there are many outcasts, and there are tens of thousands at every turn. ”
"Yes, and the most common tactics used by the rogues are crowd tactics, in this case, we should immediately go to the officers and soldiers of Jinnan Mansion for help."
"Yes, we should go to the officers and soldiers of Jinnan Mansion for help, although we will get a share of the credit at that time, but the other credit should be enough for us to get out of here"
"Protecting the Imperial Tomb is a great achievement"
"Be Quiet"
Commander Xue smiled coldly
"If it is really the three major rogues attacking the Imperial Mausoleum, and there are thousands of rogues, of course I need to ask Jinnan Mansion for help, but according to the information I have gotten, this time it is only some unknown small rogues who are attacking the Imperial Mausoleum, and the number is about dozens of people. It's not so much an attack on the Imperial Tomb as it is an attempt to sneak in and steal something, but I don't care if they are thieves or dozens of people, since we have arrived at this Imperial Tomb, it is the rogue who is attacking the Imperial Tomb, and we will kill them in one fell swoop."
"When the time comes, thousands of rogues will attack the imperial tomb, and our forbidden army will resist desperately, killing hundreds of enemies. This will be the exclusive property of our Praetorian Guard. ”
Listening to Commander Xue's eloquent words, the generals below instantly understood.
What so-called rogue siege, to put it bluntly, must be a dozen poor and crazy hooligans who want to run into the imperial tomb to steal something.
Petty theft, to be precise.
However, if the number of people reaches a dozen or even dozens of people, it can indeed be regarded as a gangster. Of course, even if the other party is not a rogue attacker, they can also say that they are rogue attacks.
The credit for protecting the imperial tomb naturally belongs to them, and they are all gearing up, and their eyes are shining. "No wonder Commander Xue refused to make trouble with the players of Jinnan Mansion for a long time, it turned out to be just a dozen people, this is a credit sent down from heaven"
Everyone knows the importance of the Imperial Tomb, not to mention just a dozen little rogues, even if it is a petty thief who runs away from the Imperial Tomb to destroy the coffins of the royal ancestors, then everyone is guilty of a capital crime.
In the same way, protecting the Imperial Tomb, even if it is only a small stream of rogues who come in, it is a great achievement.
Even if you are not a rogue, as long as you enter the imperial mausoleum, you are a rogue.
Those who can blend into the forbidden army are not stupid, they instantly understood, their faces became excited, and they raised their fists and shouted
"Willing to serve Commander Xue, eliminate the Liukou, and protect the Imperial Tomb"
"Destroy the rogues and protect the Imperial Tomb."
"Okay, well, brothers, since this is the case, then immediately go down and gather all the soldiers, let them get ready, we will lay a net of heaven and earth for the imperial tomb, and when they come in, they will be wiped out."
"At that time, all of you and I will soar, just around the corner!"
