War is never a one-man affair, and there has been such a written record in the history of the empire's war, that is, the war of the Great War when the Shenwu Emperor established himself as the supremacy of the north. It is recorded in the history books that the Emperor Shenwu was trapped in the imperial capital and was seriously injured, and the army of King Qin in various places was restrained by enemies from all walks of life except for Yue Fei's troops in the north. The biggest enemy of the Shenwu Army in the north at that time was the northern king Dong Zhuo and the Liangzhou army under his command, and Wang Qian, who was also the northern army, was in the decisive moment of deciding the outcome of the battle with the Western Liang army, and received the help of a team of hundreds of thousands of elite Liliang from the imperial tomb, which blocked the biggest enemy of the imperial capital at that time from Sizhou, and also won enough time for the bloody battle of the imperial capital.

The Imperial Mausoleum, here is the burial place of the emperors of the Tianlong Empire, some people say that this is the place where the largest treasure house of the empire is located. During the thousands of years of imperial rule, not all emperors were so virtuous. There have also been many faint kings and tyrants in the history of the empire, but the ministers of the empire are bent on restricting the power of these emperors so that there is no major turmoil in the empire, even if there is a small-scale turmoil, it can be quickly extinguished with the armament of the empire. These emperors all have a common feature after their deaths, that is, they have very few funerary goods, of course, there are occasionally one or two others, such as the Emperor Wai Emperor, who is famous in the history of the empire for his greed for enjoyment, and the Ming Emperor. Their funerary goods can be said to have been used as a burial companion for them from the treasury of an empire.

There was an unwritten rule for the death of the emperor of the empire, that is, the virtuous emperor was able to receive more funerary goods. The reason for such a strange rule, in the words of the ministers, is that they do not have enough time to enjoy it. After death, let them be an emperor who will only enjoy. It also buried all the queens of the empire and many concubines and princes. Even some of the prince's princesses may have received royal favors. It is buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the burial goods of the emperor, concubines and princes and princesses are even richer.

Later history books recorded that the Shenwu Army had a close connection with the Imperial Tomb in the process of conquest of the Quartet, and it can be said that without the Imperial Tomb, there would be no Tianlong Empire that spanned the entire continent later. The wealth of the Imperial Tomb can no longer be counted and calculated by numbers, and it is even better than the wealth of the Eight Imperial Merchants, which is the Imperial Tomb, the Imperial Tomb of the Tianlong Empire. It's just that so much wealth is not known at all now. Even Ban Chao, who came here, didn't know about it, Wang Jian who sent Ban Chao here didn't know, and Liu Fan, who was trapped in the imperial capital, didn't know at all.

Black shrouded the imperial tomb, and the interior of Wolong Villa, in a closed and tight secret room, several old men each sat in the secret room with a young junior. The periphery of the secret room was densely packed with guards, all of whom were looking around vigilantly, one hand tightly clenched on the war knife at their waist, even in the dark, not a single fly would fly in front of them.

Long Shou took Long Yan with him. Sitting at the top of the seat, there was a letter and a jade pendant in front of Long Shou. Long Shou's face was solemn. On the left and right hands sat three old men and four old men respectively, they were all big families guarding the imperial tomb. Just like the four kings, eight martial marquis and eight emperor merchants of the year, these eight people were also the eight closest generals of the first emperor that year. At that time, it was not because they were tired of the war as they said, but because the eight families all shouldered a special mission. These eight families are on the Long, Yin, Zhong, Wu, He, Yang, Zheng and Huang eight families, after they disarmed and returned to the field, they have been guarding the imperial tomb here, guarding the biggest secret of the empire, and the things they are guarding are far more valuable than the things that Yue Fei is about to take out in the land of Yongzhou in the north, because these things can easily change the fate of an empire no matter who gets them, which is why the eight families are so cautious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all seen it, this time the Shenwu Army has found us, you all look at this letter and say your opinions. Long Shou pushed down the letter in his hand, and the Yin family's family took the letter handed over, opened the envelope and quickly glanced at it. Yin Shang also handed the envelope in his hand to his next family with a dignified face, and passed it on one after another, and soon everyone read it, and everyone's face was full of heavy color, especially when they saw the jade pendant in front of Long Shou, the heavy color on their faces was even more powerful. If they make a decision today, then what they are going to open will be something that can change the fate of the entire empire, and once it is opened, the empire will only have two endings, one is that the empire will be more chaotic, the war will be more ferocious, and the other is that the war in the empire will end quickly in a short time.

"Let's talk about it, this is the first time in thousands of years that a member of the royal family has taken the initiative to find our Imperial Tomb, what should we do?" Long Shou's face was solemn, and he couldn't see the trend of the empire at all now. The combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army is very strong, and it has the full support of the Bingzhou Corps in the West and the Jiaozhou Corps in the South, and the Imperial Navy Corps has also begun to reorganize under the auspices of the Shenwu Army. Even if the Bingzhou Corps and the Jiaozhou Corps have been disabled, and there are not many elite Liliang left, these two corps are absolutely not to be underestimated.

However, the strength of the enemy fighting against the Shenwu Army is also very strong, not to mention the strength of Dong Zhuo, the king of the north, and the armies of the other eight imperial merchants are definitely not to be underestimated. The composition of an army is mainly those alien races in the north, and the land of Liangzhou is extremely large, and there are thousands of alien people, and these aliens, whether male or female, are born to be qualified warriors. On the other hand, the army is a prisoner of war from the major shili, and the combat effectiveness of these prisoners of war for freedom is definitely stronger than that of the Shenwu army, not to mention that they themselves are prisoners of war and have absolutely strong combat effectiveness. There are also those small shili in various places, especially the religious shili led by the Sun and Moon God Sect, although they only occupy the land of the two states now, but the liliang maintained by religion, this liliang is absolutely not to be underestimated, and their stamina can be said to be no worse than the Shenwu Army.

"Back then. When our eight ancestors disarmed and returned to the field. The mission is to wait for a Ming Jun. The war on this continent was completely pacified. Yin Shang's brows furrowed and he said to everyone: "Our eight families have been waiting for this Ming Jun for a thousand years, I don't think we have to wait any longer." ”

"But you also know that the First Emperor Weishenme wants us to disarm and return to the field, so far we don't know where these people are hiding, even if we are all the current Liu Fan may be a Ming monarch of the empire, but he is only a member of the imperial family now, not the emperor of the empire. There can only be one object of our allegiance, and that is the emperor of the empire, and now the emperor Simon Ye cannot bear this responsibility at all. Zhong Kai retorted with an ugly face, he also valued the Shenwu Army very much. In particular, what the Shenwu Army did made him admire, but the biggest difficulty in front of them was that Liu Fan was not the emperor of the empire.

Several other companies also expressed their opinions, and the opinions of the zuihou family probably presented two meanings, one was to decide not to wait any longer and fully support the Shenwu Army in the battle, while the other side held the opinion that it continued to wait. If the Shenwu Army can survive this crisis, and Liu Fan can Zuihou ascend to the throne of this empire, they are fighting in full support of the empire's army. Several families have different opinions, and they all insist on their own words, and no one can convince anyone. They are all considered from the position of the empire, and no one can say who is right and who is wrong. Because they all have their own opinions, and each one of them is right.

"Don't be noisy. Can you listen to me?" He Yi, a member of the He family, who had never expressed any opinion among the eight families, stood up to stop the families who were still arguing and said: "When our ancestors were disarmed and returned to the field, the First Emperor once issued a secret decree to several of our families, should we take out this secret decree now? Regardless of whether we support the Shenwu Army or not, now that the empire is on the verge of collapse, do we have to do something for this empire?"

"This jade pendant is the key, if you really decide to see the secret decree, please follow me. Long Shou picked up the jade pendant on the table and said to everyone, everyone is you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all nodded and followed Long Shou towards the back of the secret room.

Long Shou and the others soon came to the front of a stone wall, which was secretly covered with all kinds of runes, and there happened to be a hollow in the center. Long Shou glanced at everyone, everyone nodded, Long Shou walked up quickly and pressed the jade pendant in his hand into the hollow, squeak, the sound of the stone door rubbing suddenly made everyone's spirits lifted. The stone door opened, and a golden brocade box lay in the small secret room, and Long Shou and the others kowtowed to the brocade box. Long Shou stepped forward and trembled and took out the brocade box in the secret room.

Long Shou glanced at everyone and opened the brocade box, and a golden holy decree lay quietly in the brocade box. Long Shou respectfully invited the general out of it, they didn't dare to be imprudent, the eight of them were all born as the guards of the First Emperor, it can be said that the entire empire even the royal family may not be able to compare with them the respect of the First Emperor. The golden cloth wrapped the holy decree, and Long Shou slowly opened it, and suddenly a fine light was released from the secret decree, and a golden figure appeared in front of everyone. Everyone's faces suddenly changed, and they quickly knelt on the ground.

"Ministers and other descendants of the eight relatives, please give peace to our emperor!" Long Shou and the others knelt on the ground, their hearts were surprised, they didn't expect that this secret decree was actually the first emperor sealed a part of himself in this secret decree. You must know the existence of the First Emperor for these people, that is, a god, and an existence of a god that cannot be replaced. Everyone has only seen the First Emperor in the portrait, no one has ever seen the real person of the First Emperor, this time it was the appearance of the Emperor that surprised everyone, when a god appeared in front of them, they had no way to suppress the excitement in their hearts.

It didn't take long for everyone who came out of the chamber to have a solemn look on their faces, and they finally got the answers they wanted, and knew what to do with them. This time, no one expressed any objections, and everyone quickly reached an agreement that the First Emperor had already issued an order to them, and they must carry it out unconditionally. Soon the gate of Wolong Villa opened, and the two fast horses rushed out directly into Wolong Villa, and the guards guarding the door were suddenly shocked, they had never seen such an urgent situation. Soon, under the leadership of the two messengers, Ban Chao came to Wolong Villa, and under the guidance of the messengers, he quickly came to the secret room in the rear.

"So, how many people are willing to help our Shenwu Army fight against the army of the Xiliang Army?" Ban Chao suddenly turned happy after listening to Long Shou's words. The main purpose of his visit this time was to enlist the help of Wolong Villa. Don't look at Wolong Villa without any troops. But no one dared to ignore their existence. Being able to keep the Imperial Tomb safe and sound for a thousand years is in itself a symbol of strength. There are countless treasures in the imperial tomb, and I don't know how many thieves and tomb robbers want to pan for gold in this land, but they have never heard of a person who can take anything from here.

"Yes, we have decided to do our best to help the Shenwu Army pacify the world, if necessary, we can recruit 50,000 elite troops within two days and immediately follow you to the camp to report. Long Shou said to Ban Chao with a solemn face: "In the future, we will continue to provide you with 150,000 elite troops, they are all the elite of the elite, the absolute elite." We can also organize a group of masters. Rush to the imperial capital now to support Liu Fan, who is fighting hard in the imperial capital. ”

Long Shou's words immediately made Ban Chao excited, and all the armies of the Shenwu Army had already been mobilized except for the Jiaozhou Corps in the south and the Bingzhou Corps in the west. It's just that the movement of the army from all walks of life has been resisted from all sides, and it is obviously impossible to kill the emperor in the same time, and the Yongzhou Yue Fei department, which is currently closest to the emperor, should now also fight with the Qingzhou army and the army loyal to Zhang Bai. Their northern corps wanted to block the Xiliang army, and the pressure was not small, and they couldn't draw any troops to support the imperial capital, even so, Wang Jian still squeezed out a group of highly skilled officers to rush to the imperial capital to support. Long Shou can provide support for 200,000 elite troops to the Northern Corps, and he can also support a large number of masters for the imperial capital, so that Liu Fan's current crisis can be resolved.

"Then thank you very much, if you have any conditions, you might as well say it directly, although this time I came from the Northern Corps. I don't have the right to decide, but I can send your conditions to the imperial capital as quickly as possible. Ban Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Before leaving, Wang Jian said to him that as long as he could find 100,000 elite troops, Wang Jian could block the Liangzhou army to the death, and if there were 200,000 elite troops, he could completely defeat the Liangzhou army. The Imperial Tomb was able to provide exactly 200,000 troops, and they could continue to provide more troops if the war required it.

"Condition, you don't have to talk to us now, there are some things you can't decide, this time we helped you defeat the Liangzhou army and resolve the crisis in the imperial capital, since we will meet with Liu Fan in person, you still tell us about the current situation of your northern army." Long Shou stopped Ban Chao and said, Ban Chao is indeed not qualified to negotiate terms with them. This time, they had decided to do their best to help the Shenwu Army, and some time they had to meet Liu Fan face-to-face.

Ban Chao also knew that the matter was important, and it was indeed something he couldn't decide. Ban Chao immediately explained the current situation of the Northern Army to everyone in detail, and everyone listened to Ban Chao's words with a solemn face, they didn't expect that the Shenwu Army had reached such a point. Everyone's hearts also breathed a big sigh of relief, fortunately, the current Shenwu Army seems to be in crisis, but it can still control the whole situation, as long as Liu Fan of Dijing is fine, even if Dijing's battle fails. The Jiaozhou Corps and the Bingzhou Corps are still the capital of their comeback, as long as Liu Fan is here, the Shenwu Army is there.

The calm imperial mausoleum finally became lively, Wolong Villa has not rang once for a thousand years, the Wolong bell rang for the first time in the calm land of the imperial mausoleum, and the guards who were training immediately rushed out of the barracks and ran to the barracks. And those people who were working in the fields also looked at Wolong Villa, and the young men who were working also left their work one after another, returned home as quickly as possible, and rushed towards Wolong Villa with their armaments.

Two days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, but they are anxious for Ban Chao and Dong Ping, they have been away from the Northern Corps for a while, and they don't know how far the war between the Northern Corps and the Xiliang Army has progressed. The first batch of masters organized by Wolong Villa has rushed to the imperial capital to support, the first batch of emergency collection of 50,000 troops has been assembled, and the other 150,000 troops will be assembled in the shortest possible time, and once the assembly is completed, it will immediately go to the north to refer to the northern corps in the north.

"General Ban's 50,000-strong army has been assembled, and we can go to the battlefield today. Long Yan was excited, holding a spear and following Ban Chao and Dong Ping's side, since he knew that he was going to lead troops to support the Shenwu Army, Long Yan had been following Ban Chao and Dong Ping's side.

"Okay, when your father's oath is over, you and Dong Ping will take a step forward with 20,000 cavalry. Ban Chao said to Long Yan with a smile on his face. The 50,000 troops gathered made Ban Chao very satisfied, and these 50,000 troops were definitely not inferior to the veterans of the Shenwu Army who fought on the battlefield all year round, both in terms of momentum and murderous spirit. Now Ban Chao also understands a little that Weishenme Wolong Villa can stand here, and it can keep the imperial tomb alive. (To be continued......)
