"What's going on?" The crisp gunshot woke Li Shimin up. Empress Zhangsun, who was beside him, trembled all over.
In the distance, a series of gunshots from the Eightfold Palace and the sounds of fighting from the Ninefold Palace became louder and louder. It could even be clearly heard in the bedroom. This made the couple's heart skip a beat. They couldn't help but recall the scene when they met 15 years ago.
"Rebellion!"
The Tang dynasty had been peaceful for fifteen years, but the Xuanwu Gate rebellion still appeared in the couple's dreams from time to time. However, this time it was no longer a nightmare, but a reality. They also encountered the same rebellion, and the rebels had already killed their way into the Jiuchong Palace. They were only one step away from their bedroom.
"How dare they! I want to see who dares to rebel in the Jiuchong Palace!" Li Shimin was about to explode. He thought that the world was peaceful when he was on the throne, but someone dared to rebel against him. How could he accept this? He immediately put on his clothes and went out with his sword.
"Your Majesty, be careful," Outside the bedroom, Xi Junmai led the Imperial Guards to wait. Seeing Li Shimin come out, he quickly went forward and said.
"Have you found out who is rebelling?" Li Shimin shouted.
Xi Junmai couldn't help but pause. He opened his mouth to speak but stopped.
Li Shimin coldly said, "The rebel army has already killed their way into the Jiuchong Palace. Is there anything you can't say?"
Xi Junmai lowered his head and said, "There is news that … His Highness Prince Jin is rebelling!"
"Slave Zhi?" Li Shimin couldn't help but pause. According to the agreement, today was the day when Slave Zhi would arrive at the Jiuchong Palace. But at this time, a rebellion happened. This was indeed too suspicious.
"Impossible, Slave Zhi is a pure filial child. It is impossible for him to rebel." Empress Zhangsun jumped out of the door and firmly said.
"Then it must be the rebels who are holding Prince Jin hostage!" Xi Junmai lowered his head and said.
Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but feel dizzy. Whether it was Prince Jin's rebellion or Prince Jin falling into the hands of the rebels, these were things that Empress Zhangsun didn't want to see.
"Guanyin Maid!" Li Shimin hurriedly supported Empress Zhangsun.
Empress Zhangsun said weakly, "Your Majesty, you must save Slave Zhi."
"Don't worry, We understand." Li Shimin nodded. He knew that Empress Zhangsun had two meanings. One was that if Li Zhi had fallen into the hands of bandits, she wanted Li Shimin to rescue him. The other was that if Li Zhi had really rebelled?
He wanted Li Shimin to spare him this time.
"The rebels are in the front hall?
Let us escort Your Majesty to a safe place. "Xi Junmai said anxiously.
Li Shimin snorted, "Even the Wei River Alliance didn't make me take a step back, let alone this little rebellion.
Do I trust my Imperial Guards?
Just wait here. "
Coincidentally, Li Shimin didn't expect that the rebels this time were also Turks.
"This concubine will also accompany Your Majesty!" Empress Zhangsun supported her weak body.
Standing behind Li Shimin, the husband and wife responded to the change in Xuanwu Gate.
The husband and wife were of the same mind.
… … …
Ashina Society Leader blocked Sun Wukai's sneak attack?
Sun Wukai used language to distinguish between the Tang Army and the Turks, making the whole war suddenly fall into a state of anxiety. Moreover, Sun Wukai didn't want to kill the enemy, but he wanted to delay and protect himself.
Although they were retreating step by step?
The guards of Jiuchong Palace still didn't collapse.
"Damn it! If Mo Yun was here, we wouldn't be in such a deadlock. "Ashina Society Leader roared.
Unfortunately, Mo Yun was sent to Yaechong Palace to assassinate Mo Jiazi. If Mo Yun was here, the deadlock could definitely be broken. However, what made him puzzled was that Mo Yun had been gone for a long time, and the gunpowder sound in Yaechong Palace had stopped.
But he still didn't see Mo Yun coming back to support.
"Quick, the rebels are in Jiuchong Palace?
Surround the rebels from the back, don't let a single one escape. "Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of Yaechong Palace.
Ashina Society Leader felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Yes!" Immediately, many voices responded.
"Mo Jiazi!" Ashina Society Leader felt pain in his heart. He wasn't Mo Yun?
Ashina Society Leader often guarded the palace?
Naturally, he had seen Meton before.
He was familiar with Meton's voice.
Now that Meton came from Yaechong Palace to support, Mo Yun must have been defeated. However, he couldn't understand how Mo Yun lost so quickly with his strength.
"General!" When the Turks heard that reinforcements from Yaechong Palace were coming, they couldn't help but panic. If they were cut off, only death would await them.
Ashina Society Leader looked at Yaechong Palace that was close by, then looked at Sun Wukai who was still stubbornly resisting. He couldn't help but feel regret. He never thought that he would be restrained by a small character that he didn't care about.
Seeing that the guards from Yaechong Palace were getting closer and closer, and the guards from the other palaces were also getting closer, if they didn't leave now, they wouldn't be able to.
"Retreat!"
The Ashina Society issued the order.
Immediately, the Turks quickly left the battlefield and retreated to the place where they came from.
Seeing the Turks retreating so quickly, Sun Wukai couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly gave the order to pursue. If he could make the mastermind Ashina Society Leader stay in Yaechong Palace, it would be a great merit.
When the Turks encountered the reinforcements from Yaechong Palace, both sides actually didn't have any intention of stopping them, easily allowing Ashina Society Leader to leave.
Sun Wukai chased after them and saw that the one leading them was Mo Jiazi. He couldn't help but frown. "Merton, what is the meaning of this? Why did you let the rebels leave so easily? "
If it was before, Sun Wukai wouldn't have dared to casually question Meton. However, Meton had already lost his power and was removed from his position as the Firearms Supervisor. In addition, Sun Wukai was eager to contribute, so he couldn't help but blurt out.
Meton looked coldly at Sun Wukai. "General Sun, Yaechong Palace was also attacked by the rebels. How much strength do you think Yaechong Palace has left after eliminating the rebels?"
Meton turned to the side and saw that behind Meton was a group of injured soldiers. They didn't have much strength to fight at all.
The Ashina Society Leader didn't expect that the reinforcements from Yaechong Palace didn't have much strength to fight at all. He used a deceptive tactic to charge all the way to Yaechong Palace, but in the end, he was scared away by Mo Jiazi's deceptive tactic. It could be said that everything was fated.
In the distance, the Turks began to set fire to the palace in order to stop the pursuit. Autumn was already dry and dry, and with the intentional arson, the fire quickly spread.
"This is Chang 'an City, far away from the grasslands. The Turks can't escape far. The most important thing now is to protect His Majesty's safety and put out the fire," Meton scolded.
Sun Wukai was shocked. He was so eager to contribute that he actually gave up on the important task of guarding Yaechong Palace and chased after the enemy. If the enemy took advantage of this, he would probably die a thousand times.
In the distance, the sound of fighting between Yaechong Palace's guards and the rebels could be heard. Sun Wukai took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Stop the pursuit. Protect His Majesty's safety."
