At noon, the sky gradually darkened.

Rolling smoke and dust filled the sky. This year, there was a severe drought and little rain. Most of the palace towers were dry and flammable. When the fire broke out, the fire suddenly became fierce and difficult to extinguish.

The north wind keeps going, but the smoke and dust are also constantly.

I don’t know when dark clouds floated from the sky, covering up the sun and casting a large shadow.

Below the ground, after passing through the dark and humid secret passage, Li Ru finally arrived at his destination.

"Yaah! Bang!"

Turning over the thick stone slab, Li Ru walked out with the lead.

But here comes back to the ground.

However, it is in the closed stone chamber.

There was no light source inside, only the torches held in the hands of soldiers illuminated the surroundings.

It was also the first time Li Ru has been here.

This is the tomb of Emperor Guangwu.

With the light of the torch, Li Ru took in full view of the interior of the stone room.

The scale here is huge, and the distance is twenty or thirty feet at the trek, and further away is the darkness that cannot be shined through. Looking up, the highest point is more than five feet high, and the tall stone pillars support a thick celestial tower like a sky and earth.

Looking at the building of this size, the soldiers coming in were silent and did not dare to speak, and even their breathing became lighter.

During the Han Dynasty, four emperors were very famous, including Emperor Gao of Han Taizu Liu Bang, Emperor Xiaowu of Han Shizong Liu Che, Emperor Guangwu of Han Shizu Liu Xiu, Emperor Liezu of Han Liezu Liu Bei.

One hundred and sixty years ago, it happened to be the end of Wang Mang of the New Dynasty. The country collapsed and the world was in chaos. Liu Xiu, who was a commoner but had the blood of the previous dynasty, took advantage of the situation to rise up in his hometown.

After a twelve-year war of unity, Liu Xiu successively destroyed the separatist regimes in Guandong, Longyou, Xishu and other places, ending the warlord melee and separatist situation that lasted nearly twenty years since the end of Xinmang.

When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu passed away, he left a will: "I am not helpful to the people, and my subsequent affairs are subject to the system of Emperor Xiaowen, so you must be frugal."

Logically speaking, Liu Xiu’s imperial tomb should not be built to this scale.

But Li Ru knew that what is really important here was not Liu Xiu's coffin. It was the root of the dragon energy of more than 300 years of the Han Dynasty!

The lead man held a torch and walked slowly. He said as he walked, "In the past, Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty and established the capital of Luoyang. After the world was pacified, he also migrated the remaining dragon energy of the former Han Dynasty and stored it here."

Li Ru had long heard of this. This imperial tomb was built when Liu Xiu was still alive.

Li Ru followed behind and said, "I heard that Liu Xiu heard the advice of the Taoist sect. He took all the soldiers of the 28 generals of Yuntai, and left them here to create statues to form formations to guard the tombs for him?"

The leader said without looking back, "You are right. The 28 generals of Yuntai are loyal and righteous, with the intention of fighting, keeping fighting spirits, and suppressing demons and evil spirits. For more than a hundred years, they have been safeguarding the peace of the Han Dynasty."

"Hehe." Li Ru smiled and said nothing.

In recent years, natural disasters continued in various parts of the Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turbans caused chaos and Emperor Ling died. Now, people with ulterior motives even broke into the imperial tombs.

The role of the 28 generals of the Yuntai is almost useless.

The lead man didn't care. He said, "After all, it's been more than a hundred years. After all, it's almost a hundred years. If you think about it carefully, it's almost a hundred and fifty years, right?"

Li Ru replied: "It's indeed the same number."

"So, no matter how powerful the enemy soldiers are or how powerful the formations are, they can't stand the baptism of time."

"Ba"

The lead man stopped.

Li Ru walked to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The range covered by the formation is in front of it." said the leader.

Li Ru asked: "You should have a way to break the formation, right?"

"Of course! I came this time to break this formation!"

Li Ru looked up and saw twenty-eight adult-high statues in each position. He guarded Emperor Guangwu's coffin in the center.

The twenty-eight statues each hold weapons, including the mother and son, dragon and phoenix sword, painted rod square halberd, two gold-mounted maces, overlord guns, nine-eared eight-ring swords, and fiery flame forks on the sky, etc.

All the twenty-eight weapons were still shining with light, as if someone had been taking care of them all year round.

But it is obvious that of course there are very few people coming in here.

Even if someone comes in, they usually cannot enter under the protection of the formation.

Even if I can get in, I don’t think I can wipe and maintain these weapons so leisurely.

The voice of the leader sounded again: "This is the twenty-eight star formation!"

His eyes also fell on the weapons: "It is the power of this formation that makes these weapons last forever!"

Li Ru sighed: "According to legend, the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are the twenty-eight constellations of Shangying Heavenly Court. Now it seems that it may not be the wind coming to the sky?"

"Of course not! Although not all the 28 generals of Yuntai in the past were born in the heavenly palace, nearly half of them were still present."

It seems that since he came here, the leader has been a little excited.

Li Ru turned his head to look at him. Although this man was not very prominent in his outfit, and even deliberately dressed up, he could not hide it from Li Ru's eyes.

What's more, along the way, the closer he gets to this imperial tomb, the more undisguised his words and deeds, and now he is almost revealed. No matter how Li Ru does, he will not underestimate him.

At this time, Li Ru asked, "I don't know yet, who you are, and I wonder if I can tell you the truth?"

The lead man smiled and said, "Since you know that I can't answer, why bother asking more questions?"

Li Ru also smiled and said, "How do you know if you don't ask?"

"Okay, let's not say much, let's start breaking the formation."

"Okay. Zhiran, please let me go over and help." Li Ru ordered.

When Li Ru came here on this trip, he would naturally not be without generals' protection.

The one who came here was Li Jue.

"Yes!" Li Jue immediately asked a small team of Xiliang soldiers to come and help, while he himself was behind the scenes.

In the imperial tomb, even Li Jue, who was bold and arrogant, was a little worried and did not dare to go too far.

Just as Li Ru and others were about to break through the twenty-eight star formation, the wind and clouds in the sky were changing, clouds stacked layer by layer, and faint light flashed in it, and gradually there were signs of thunderstorms coming.

After repelling the army led by Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song, Han Nuo and others came all the way to the imperial city. During this period, Han Nuo rushed to the first riot, killing the soldiers so scared that they did not dare to resist. Then, from Yinhou, Zhang Rang and others surrendered.

Along the way, another three or four thousand people were captured, half of which were soldiers who were killed by Lu Bu when he pursued Dong Zhuo.

In front, with the help of Xianyunsanren, Lu Bu chased Dong Zhuo all the way and rushed towards the imperial city.

Fortunately, Hua Xiong and the Iron Cavalry of Xiliang fought to the death, and Mo Yiming came from the side to respond, otherwise Dong Zhuo would have really failed to retreat to the imperial city.

"Kill!"

At this time, some imperial officials gathered the troops in the imperial city to disperse the warriors and were busy putting out the fire, but unexpectedly, the Xiliang army, who had already left, killed another shot.

The Xiliang Army, who were fighting and fleeing, did not care about who were blocking the way, and raised its knife and slashed it with a shout.

The one who was unable to run was immediately chopped down to the ground, and even more, thousands of horses trampled by and broke into mud.

There were many palace gates and courtyard walls in the palace city. Only when the Xiliang army retreated here would it be considered as a stop to the decline. Hua Xiong, Guo Si and others occupied the palace gate and blocked Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry outside the palace city.

At this moment, a "boom" sounded thunder sounded from the sky.

"What's wrong?"

It was the thunder that the people in Luoyang City realized that the sky had changed drastically.
