How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?
Chapter 63 Sneaking into the Palace
Under the guidance of Ultraman, Long Dong and others soon came before Emperor Oaks.
Oaks was resting on the bed. He was also startled by the sudden appearance of Ultraman. Long Dong performed space magic. In just a moment, the whole room was isolated from the outside world.
All we have to do is break into the palace without being discovered.
Oaks sensed someone coming, opened his eyes and stood up.
Ultraman: "I, your son, greet you, father."
Ox: "Manman, why are you here?" Ultraman explained the whole story to Ox. Ox was not completely ignorant of the country's affairs. It was just that he was powerless.
After hearing Ultraman's explanation, he realized how serious the situation was. The victory on the front line was all a lie. Oaks was filled with regret.
Oaks: "How can the prince be so stupid! How could I have such a son?" But it was too late to say anything now. The prince had already taken power.
Ultraman hadn't seen his father for a long time, and he could see that Oaks' health was getting worse year by year.
Oaks looked haggard and pale. When Long Dong and others came in, Oaks, with the help of Ultraman, took a long time to lift Oaks up from the bed. Oaks' eyes were weak, and his hollow pupils were gray. His pale lips were slightly pursed. His forehead and eyes were covered with wrinkles. His hair was even less. His face was bloodless. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left.
Long Dong looked at Oaks carefully and thought: Is this dog emperor exhausted from daily consumption? Why is he so weak?
When Ultraman helped Oaks up, a painful expression appeared on Oaks' face. He was really weak.
In Long Dong's mind, Zheng said: "Don't think too much, this is a symptom of poisoning. This person has been poisoned. Now the poison has penetrated into his bone marrow and there is no cure."
Speaking of poison, there is another person in the Dragon Clan waiting for Qilin to detoxify. Long Dong had asked Zheng before, and Zheng said he didn't know. If he could find Qilin, he wouldn't be poisoned to death.
Oaks was also at the end of his rope. The Crown Prince and Yangshe Fu were already unshakable. Fortunately, the military power did not fall into their hands.
Lian Shoucheng is a good friend of Oaks. If it weren't for Lian Shoucheng, Oaks wouldn't have been able to establish the Wu Kingdom. Lian Shoucheng cares about the lives of the people. Except for Oaks' orders, no one else's orders are effective. The prince has no way to deal with Lian Shoucheng. He can only use shady tricks behind the scenes. All the money and supplies needed by the army are cut off.
This also made the front line very difficult.
Oaks gave Ultraman several edicts.
An imperial edict was sent to Lian Shoucheng. Let him find another wise ruler. If possible, I hope he chooses Ultraman. Lian Shoucheng is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. It is impossible to let him rebel. But now the country has been ruined. The prince is stupid. The country will be ruined sooner or later. It is better to let Lian Shoucheng start anew. If Lian Shoucheng chooses Ultraman, the country will still be in the hands of his family. If he chooses someone else, then he can do nothing. He only hopes that Lian Shoucheng can treat Ultraman and others well. Kill the others.
The second edict was for the ministers. Not all ministers were like Yangshefu. Yangshefu was obsessed with money and greedy. If he had not been in a high position and had many experts to protect him, Yangshefu would have been chopped into pieces long ago. The ministers had no way to express their grievances. The emperor was powerless. The emperor issued an edict to them, so that the ministers would not be criticized for dealing with the crown prince Yangshefu in the future.
The third edict was a self-blame edict. He was immoral and incompetent. The country had fallen to this point. His crime was unforgivable. He only hoped that the people could forgive him.
Oaks: "With these imperial edicts, the loyal ministers will do their best to help you."
After obtaining the imperial edict from Ultraman, he bid farewell to his father in tears.
The emperor's time is running out. This farewell is basically a farewell forever. Ultraman is reluctant to leave. Longdong hurriedly urges Ultraman to leave.
It turned out that the prince found that Ultraman and others did not leave the palace, but they were nowhere to be found. So he personally led people in to check, and the moment the people pushed the door, Long Dong and others disappeared.
The prince looked at the empty room. The doubts in his heart did not disappear. Although the prince had no evidence, he had a vague feeling that Ultraman and others had been here.
The prince made no secret of his ambition. He entered the palace with a sword in hand. He questioned Oaks with the sword, "Has anyone come to see my father?"
Oaks slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the prince holding a sword, he felt very desperate. The prince had really changed.
Oaks actually knew that the prince had been rebellious for a long time. Although all the facts were in front of him, Oaks still believed in the prince from the bottom of his heart. Oaks had a glimmer of hope for the prince.
Oaks heard the story of Ultraman Liu Cheng and others and knew that the prince was a beast. He was not even willing to put on a show in front of his brother. He was just pretending in front of Oaks.
The crown prince controls the government. The people in the court have long been divided. The country is in danger of collapse at any time.
Now that he had seen what the prince had done, the last glimmer of hope in Oaks' heart had completely disappeared. Oaks was quite desperate at this moment. Fortunately, he had already handed the imperial edict to Ultraman. Oaks had already made arrangements for his funeral.
Ultraman and others had already slipped away.
The prince of a country dared to brandish a sword in front of his father in broad daylight. The prince didn't even try to pretend. Oaks was furious but could do nothing about it.
Oaks replied weakly, "It's the prince. What happened?"
The prince was a little impatient: "I asked if anyone had been here?" The sword was pointed directly at Oaks' throat.
The prince originally wanted to slowly kill Oaks with poison. After Oaks died, he would ascend the throne smoothly. Unexpectedly, this Ultraman came back to visit Oaks at this critical moment.
If no one knows, then don't do it. Everyone knows what the prince has done. Everyone is just angry but dare not speak out. Ultraman relies on his own strength and is not afraid of the prince at all.
Unfortunately, the enemy is strong and we are weak. The prince has been in power for many years and has many minions. Ultraman's two fists are no match for four hands. Later, Ultraman left the royal family in anger.
Now, the situation is urgent. The Huguo Pass is in danger. The Wu Kingdom may be destroyed at any time. If it weren't for the situation, Long Dong would not have followed Ultraman and others to force his way into the palace.
