living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 147 Fangs
The Hall of Hercules is located in the northeast corner of the second floor of the main building of the palace. Different from the magnificent main hall, it is smaller and more exquisite. It is the king's private audience hall. When some emergencies happen, the ministers can avoid the etiquette of entering the palace to meet the king. The route directly serves as the place for the imperial meeting to be held here.

Passing by the oil painting showing the heroic posture of Emperor Claudius on horseback, Julian touched the red velvet on the wall. The soft texture reminded him of the days when he played here as a child, when he was still one of the owners of the palace. One, and now that the years have passed, he has to obtain other people's permission to return here. Thinking of this, he can't help but laugh at himself.

"Julian?" Seeing him touching the wall in a daze, Shi Zhengyang asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Julian shook his head and looked at the regent King Drahi on the throne.

Drahi was also looking at him, with a hint of sharpness hidden in his old face, the two gazes met in the air, the hall of Hercules became quiet, and the ministers were not whispering, the old and tactful they had faintly noticed that today The atmosphere is not right.

This was the first time that Julian appeared in the court. The young second son of the former king was very popular among the people. He also controlled the power of Willenburg, and he was a force that Noswar could not ignore today.

When the prince first came to the capital, he brought his ambition to regain power. He began to win over potential allies, and he continued to speak among the people and the army, touching the interests of the regent like stepping on a tightrope. Thoughts have been held back.

"His Royal Highness is going to be in trouble." This is the voice of many ministers.

Now there is no special battle report, but the regent summoned Julian to the palace. It seems that the lion has bared his fangs, and the second prince is in danger.

As Julian's protector, Shi Zhengyang followed closely behind him. While on guard, he was also observing the royal mage group around the regent. These people surrounded the regent at every step. If Mu Lan was present, she would definitely feel very Strong magic breath.

Shi Zhengyang breathed hard, tried his best to recover his combat strength, he was summoned to the palace just after the battle with the dark blade, and it was too late to rest, if he fought these mages again, he would definitely be at the end of his battle.

Thinking of this, he took deep breaths from time to time, speeding up the flow of internal force in his body.

The regent's eyes swept over everyone like a falcon, and everyone in the hall fell silent and bowed their heads deeply.

Julian snorted coldly. This uncle, who hadn't seen him for many years, already had the aura of a powerful man. After his bloody cleansing, those who remained in the court were well versed in the methods of the regent and did not dare to offend him. They all seem to have become the regent's arbitrary words.

Even though Julian had calmed down a lot, he still felt resentful after coming to this palace. The executioner who killed his father, brother, sister and sister sat on the throne, looking down at him, The fire of vengeance ignited ragingly at this moment, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Julian, this is your favorite room when you were a child. How does it feel to be back in a familiar place?" The regent said as if unintentionally, but his eyes were still sharp.

Julian suppressed the flame in his heart. He knew that he should not lose his composure in front of the enemy, and he had to remain calm. After a while, he returned a gentle smile.

"It feels good, thank you uncle for your concern."

"I have missed you so much for so many years." The regent smiled and said, "Your palace is decorated as it was before you left, and your favorite snacks are also prepared."

Julian didn't speak this time, but there was a smile on his face all the time. Both of them were laughing. People who didn't know the situation would think that this was a warm scene of harmony between uncle and nephew.

"But you failed my painstaking efforts." The regent's tone suddenly became harsh, and he said with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Now that the enemy is facing you, you did such a thing!"

Julian's smile froze, and he asked in puzzlement, "What are you talking about? What have I done?"

The regent slapped the armrest violently, and there was a loud noise in the silent Hercules Hall, and the heads of the ministers lowered.

"Come on, bring them up to me!"

The attendant retreated in a hurry, and within a short time, three bound barbarians were brought into the hall.

The barbarian's mouth was gagged, but he was still struggling. The fierce light in his eyes shot at everyone in the hall. His burly figure and ferocious demeanor made the ministers panic.

"Barbarians?"

"Why did the barbarians appear here?"

"Could it be?"

"Hmph!" The Prince Regent snorted coldly and motioned to the attendant beside him with his eyes.

The attendant carefully avoided the three barbarians, went around them, coughed lightly, and said to the ministers: "This is the culprit who harassed the capital a few days ago! I finally caught him under the pursuit of the imperial guards." Three prisoners." Then he glanced at Julian, and said: "After torture, they have confessed."

"These barbarian cavalry were driven by His Highness the Second Prince, and His Highness the Second Prince was behind the attack on the capital!"

The atmosphere suddenly exploded, nobles and ministers all looked at Julian in disbelief.

"It's actually the second prince!"

"What does he want to do!"

"This is an act of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

"Their horses, weapons, and even the catapult were all provided by you!" The regent looked at Julian coldly, "What else do you have to say!"

Julian laughed, "This is the crime of wanting to impose it. Uncle, if you want to get rid of me in a hurry, you have to find a good excuse." He disdainfully glanced at the minister who pointed at him, and said coldly: "Whatever You want to convict me by catching a few barbarians? Everyone knows that I led the army to defeat the barbarian army! Noswar and the Zhuritan barbarians are sworn enemies! What reason do I have to get involved with them?"

"Smooth tongue!" The regent sneered: "Bring the others up!"

The gate opened, and the guards escorted several civilians in sackcloth into the hall.

"These are the people spreading rumors in the capital!" The regent stood up from the throne: "My aides have long guessed that the remarks in the capital are deliberately guided by someone, and you recruited these people! "

"I confess! I confess!" A civilian pointed at Julian after the gag was removed and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Julian sent us here! He wants us to spread rumors beneficial to him in the capital to discredit him. The Prince Regent thus gets the people to support him!"

"Okay!" The regent said furiously: "Now that the barbarian army is overwhelming the border, you are still thinking about the drama of fighting for power and profit. You want to revive your father and king from the mausoleum!"

Julian also tore off his disguise, and his gentle expression was gone. He pointed at the regent's expression and cursed angrily: "It's fine if you want to frame me, you, a scum who usurped the throne, have the nerve to mention other things? If you didn't get in the way Why is it so difficult for Willenburg? At the beginning, you colluded with the barbarians to clean up the political enemies, but instead led wolves into the house, and now the peak of barbarian soldiers is pointing directly at the capital, thousands of people have been slaughtered, you are the chief culprit of all this!"

Faced with these sharp responsibilities, the regent laughed instead, and he said lightly: "It is useless for you to say that, history is written by the victor and I am the victor." He waved his hand, and immediately there were countless guards The soldiers rushed into the Hall of Hercules, and the sword blades that were shining coldly made the ministers tremble in panic, and they all knelt down on the ground.

"You can go and tell your father about these things."

"However, in hell."
