Although Ninety Percent Palace was an important place for the Imperial Family, it had never been attacked since it was built. Although Xi Junmai's orders were strict, the guards were just doing their job.
Ashina Society Leader climbed over the wall without alerting any of the guards. The group of Turks quietly made their way to Fivefold Palace.
Only when they got close to Fivefold Palace did they attract the attention of the guards.
"Who is it?" General Zhe Chong, who was guarding Fivefold Palace, shouted. The guards immediately raised their weapons.
Being discovered, Mo Yun was shocked. He quickly turned around and asked, "General, what do we do?"
Ashina Society Leader smiled and said, "What do we do? Naturally, we walk over!"
Immediately, Ashina Society Leader laughed and said, "General Liu, I trust you have been well since we last met."
When General Zhe Chong saw Ashina Society Leader, he was stunned. He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons. He asked, "General Ashina, why are you here? Weren't you patrolling outside the palace?"
Although General Liu was curious about Ashina Society Leader's appearance here, he did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would be so powerful that the Turks would dare to rebel. Furthermore, Ashina Society Leader had planned ahead for today's assassination. He had deliberately made friends with General Zhe Chong and the two had a good relationship.
Ashina Society Leader explained without changing his expression, "This little brother was patrolling outside the palace and happened to meet His Highness Prince Jin. I asked for a job to lead the way for His Highness Prince Jin. After the job was done, I came to find brother Liu to talk about old times. Brother Liu, why don't you welcome me?"
General Liu could not help but smile. He knew that Ashina Society Leader's career was not smooth. He did not suspect that Ashina Society Leader wanted to curry favor with His Highness Prince Jin.
"This little brother is naturally happy that General Ashina Society Leader can come. Please!" General Liu was quite proud and cupped his fist.
"Ah!" General Liu suddenly screamed. What he was waiting for was not a hug from Ashina Society, but a cold knife. When he felt the endless pain, General Liu's complacent expression slowly turned into fear.
"You want to assassinate His Highness." Only now did General Liu realize that the Ashina Society was not supposed to appear in the Ninety Percent Palace, yet he had come to the Fivefold Palace. He was probably not there to lead the way for Prince Jin, but to assassinate Li Shimin.
"You guessed it right. Li Shimin has humiliated the Turks. Today, it's time for him to pay for it." Ashina Gulu laughed sinisterly.
Hearing the screams of his subordinates, General Liu's eyes widened. If he hadn't been careless and believed the nonsense of the Ashina Society, his subordinates wouldn't have laid down their weapons and allowed themselves to be slaughtered.
"Kill!"
Mo Yun held the bow in his hand and never missed his target. One by one, the guards of the fifth layer palace fell under his bow. Due to the lack of preparation, the guards of the fifth layer palace suffered heavy losses. Even if there were some scattered resistance, they were all killed by Mo Yun's bow. The godly archer who once shook the grassland showed his might once again.
"Well done!" Seeing Mo Yun's might, the Ashina Society couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, a group of Turks began to attack the Sixfold Palace.
The battle of the Fivefold Palace ended very quickly, but it still caused quite a commotion. The guards of the Sixfold Palace became alert, but because they didn't know what was going on, they didn't act rashly.
This time, the leader of the Ashina Society swaggered towards the Sixfold Palace and shouted from afar, "Ninety percent of the palace has been infiltrated by thieves. We are under orders to search the Sixfold Palace for any abnormalities."
When the guard of the Sixfold Palace saw the Ashina Society leading a group of Tang Army soldiers, he didn't become suspicious. Instead, he shook his head and replied, "There is nothing unusual in the Sixfold Palace. However, there is a noise coming from the Fiffold Palace."
"That's good. Don't be careless. Once you discover the enemy, immediately warn us." The Ashina Society said in a serious tone.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a rain of arrows covered the sky and shot towards the Sixfold Palace. In an instant, the Sixfold Palace suffered heavy casualties.
"You are the rebels!" The guard of the Sixfold Palace shouted angrily.
However, what answered them was the overwhelming attack of the Turks. The defense line of the Sixfold Palace was broken through again. Then, the Ashina Society used the same method, using the Tang Army's armor to approach the Sevenfold Palace and break through the defense line of the Sevenfold Palace again.
"The Eight-Fold Palace and the Ninefold Palace are in front. Mo Jiazi is in the Eight-Fold Palace, and Li Shimin is in the Ninefold Palace. As long as you kill the two of them, our road to restoring our country will be right in front of us." The Ashina Society encouraged.
Immediately, the Turks became fanatical. Although they didn't have to worry about food and clothing in Chang 'an City and enjoyed eternal wealth, the customs here were very different from those of the grassland. This made them very uncomfortable. They had long wanted to return to the grassland. This was also the reason why they followed the Ashina Society.
"This battle must be ended quickly. Mo Yun, take half of the men to the Eight-Fold Palace and kill Mo Jiazi. The rest of the men will follow me to kill the dog emperor. " The Ashina Society leader looked at the guards of the palaces who were alarmed by the defeated troops. In terms of combat power, the Tang Army was not weak at all. The Turks only had the merit of a sneak attack. If they couldn't end the battle quickly, the longer the battle dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them.
"Yes!" Mo Yun nodded and immediately led the men to the Eight-Fold Palace.
"Stop, or we will kill without mercy!" The general of the Eight-Fold Palace coldly shouted. The Eight-Fold Palace was already the most important place of the Ninety Percent Palace. Ordinary people couldn't reach the Ninety Percent Palace at all. This was also the reason why the general of the Eight-Fold Palace had the confidence to shout "kill without mercy" even though he didn't know who this person was.
However, what answered him was a heavy arrow that pierced through the chest of the general. Mo Yun put away his bow and sneered. This general was very smart. He actually hid in the dark. However, he didn't know that he had been exposed as soon as he made a sound. This was the power of the grassland's godly archers. They could identify positions by sound.
"Kill!" Mo Yun led the Turks forward. The guards of the Eight-Fold Palace were like a group of dragons without a leader. Coupled with the threat of the godly archer Mo Yun, they immediately retreated.
"What's wrong?" The loud noise immediately alarmed Princess Changle and Meton.
"Reporting to the Princess's son-in-law, there are rebels attacking the Eight-Fold Palace. Princess's son-in-law, please take the young princess and little Marquis and leave quickly." Outside the palace, Liu E anxiously urged.
"Rebels!" Modun was shocked. The memories of the Ninety-Percent Palace's rebellion immediately surged into his mind. This was a rebellion to assassinate Li Shimin. Logically speaking, with the Eightfold Palace and the Ninety-Percent Palace right next to each other, these rebels should have attacked the Ninety-Percent Palace with all their might. However, another group had run to the Eightfold Palace. They were clearly coming for him.
Meton couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that other than Tubo, even the Turks wanted to kill him.
"Changle, you and Liu E take Mo Sha and Mo Tan and leave first. These rebels are here to kill me." Meton waved his hand and handed Mo Sha to Liu E, indicating that the two should leave.
"Husband? You don't know martial arts. How are you going to stop the rebels? "Princess Changle said anxiously.
Meton showed a trace of confidence and said, "Your husband is Mo Jiazi. What can stop me? Your husband will pacify the rebels and save His Majesty. You retreat immediately. Don't appear until the rebellion is quelled."
