Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 81: You and I are all birds in a cage
Xia Ji walked under the moonlight of the ancient temple. The masters of the Daguang Temple basically meditate in the Dasun Temple. Although there are many Guangming monks in the Hall of Living Beings, there is no one who can find him. After all, no one can It occurred to me that some people would actually steal scriptures instead of stealing mystical arts.
What's the use of stolen scriptures?
Xia Ji came quietly and left quietly.
Tomorrow, the monk at the Great Bright Temple will find the scriptures missing, but he is thousands of miles away.
After stepping into the wilderness, as soon as he raised his hand, the moonlight cast a huge shadow from the sky.
The golden eagle descended from the sky and prostrate at his feet.
Who said you have to take a carriage to travel south?
He stepped on the eagle and patted its wings.
The big eagle fluttered its wings.
It was late at night.
The spring is cold, and the night wind is piercing.
Xia Ji sat on the back of the eagle, and the rest of the distance was point-to-point. He could ignore all routes and reach the south at the fastest speed.
That's what he wanted. When his eight sisters, who are good at looking at anger, wake up, he has already reached his destination.
She must have set up a lot of ambushes along the way, but sorry, her plans are going to be disrupted.
Xia Ji sat on top of the falcon, and from time to time he took out a piece of meat from the dark gold cloak and threw it forward. The falcon raised his head and ate it in one bite, and then galloped towards the south without pausing for a while.
Now his dark gold cloak has expanded to three cubic meters, which contains a string of three thousand worlds, a string of one thousand and eight dharma realms, a string of one hundred and eight troubles, and twenty strings of fourteen basic Tathagatas. Rosary.
In addition, he also contained his Great Dark Sky Halberd, the animal-faced swallowing head chain armor, as well as some medicinal pills, food, and many other necessary items.
A sharp eagle chirped cut through the sky, and night and dawn passed.
Xia Ji crossed the mountains and rivers directly...
After seven days, he completed the journey of eight thousand miles and arrived at the north of the river ahead of schedule.
Early spring is the time when the snow and ice melts. Overlooking from a high place, the great river rushes to the east and never returns, just like the great regret of life that cannot be remedied.
The falcon circled around the clouds for a few times. Xia Ji observed the scenery below. He was not in a hurry to enter the city.
Usually, he and this eagle slept on the top of the mountain.
There are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests in early spring. He hunted some hares and the like, made barbecue meat, ate half of it himself, and gave the rest half to the hawks, which was considered a reward. At night, he took out the tent and put it in the tent. Rest there, then take out the books in the Daguang Temple and continue reading at night.
This usually takes two days.
On the third day, at dawn, a huge five-tooth warship was breaking through the waves of the river.
The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat is wearing a dragon robe, with an extraordinary temperament.
Xia Ji recognized at a glance that it was the Son of Heaven—Xia Taigan.
He came to see the Son of Heaven.
Ming Xiu's plank road is dark and dark, and now it is considered a success.
Presumably the Prince's way there should be many obstacles, but these have nothing to do with him.
He has found his target, so he is waiting to meet the target.
Xia Taigan stood on the deck of the bow, accompanied by several guards in brocade.
The waves were rolling, and the emperor suddenly raised his head and glanced at the golden clouds. Xia Ji patted the Eagle on the head and made it fly high.
One eagle and one boat, one in the sky and one in the water, move forward together like this.
Click.
The five-tooth warship berthed at the largest wharf in this northern city, and many soldiers lined up to greet him.
Xia Ji waited patiently. He had too many questions and needed to question the Son of Heaven.
Into the night.
The Son of Heaven has moved into a temporary palace.
The moon is bright tonight.
The emperor repelled all the guards, and then quietly tasted wine in the courtyard.
The eagle demon's wings flapped, and a strong wind blew across the ground, making people narrow their eyes to avoid the wind and sand.
And at this time, Xia Ji had already jumped down from a height and landed on the glazed tiles on the eaves of the palace.
The emperor was pouring wine, and in the icy brilliance of the moon wheel, it was clear that it was two glasses of wine.
"Coming?"
Xia Ji did not hide, but jumped off the glazed tile and stood in the courtyard.
The emperor looked calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised that he was here, but pointed to the other side of the stone table and said lightly: "Sit."
Xia Ji didn't move.
The emperor raised his eyes and said, "You and I have the name of father and son. It's been eighteen years, and it's considered a fate. Let's sit down and talk first."
Xia Ji asked, "Did you kill your mother?"
"Yes, I absorbed her power, and she died because of it."
Xia Ji's tone was calm, "Reason."
"Why?"
A playful look appeared on the corner of Tianzi's lips. He murmured and said the "reason" several times, and then he laughed frantically. After laughing, there was no guard movement in the distance.
The emperor said hoarsely: "I am the only one in the palace, and all the guards have been driven out by me. I have seen you on the warship today, so I have been waiting for you tonight."
Xia Ji looked at him quietly.
The Son of Heaven said: "If you ask me the reason, then I will tell you today... I knew something before I ascended the throne."
He beckoned, signaling Xia Ji to come closer.
But Xia Ji didn't move.
The emperor shook his head, laughed, and laughed horribly: "Lao Qi, you know, I can't actually have children. None of you are my children! Except for the same mother, no one else is related by blood!"
He asked with a trembling smile: "Do you know how I feel in the palace?"
Without waiting for Xia Ji's answer, he directly roared, "A bird in a cage!"
Then, he drank two glasses of wine after drinking himself, "Do you know what a cage is?"
Immediately afterwards, he roared again: "A family of thousands of years!"
"Do you know that I wasn't originally a prince, how did I get to the top?"
"The family killed the crown prince and all the other princes, and sent the puppet to the throne."
"Do you know why the family wants me to be in the position?"
"Because I was the most low-key of the few princes back then. It seemed the best manipulative and the infertile one."
"Do you know why the family wants a barren emperor?"
The emperor became more and more mad, and there was a smile in his tone.
But this laugh ~IndoMTL.com~ is a bit creepy.
"Because, they are going to take over the world, what is the essence of Kowloon's succession, do you understand? The essence...the essence is the division of the world among the noble families. But the noble family does not leave waste, so except for a few concubines, You don't know, the family just wants to see who of you is the strongest."
Every word of the Son of Heaven is a shocking secret.
He was still in the mood, drinking wine cup by cup.
"Xia Ji, do you know my heart for you?
I want each and every one of you to die, each of you tragically.
So, why should I care about this world?
The more tattered the world is, the happier I am in my heart!
What does the alien invasion have to do with me, what does the common people have to do with me!
Can the common people be considered human? Are there any other people in this world besides these thousand-year-old families?
It is my greatest pleasure to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, watching the dog bite the dog. "
"By the way, do you know why I want to see you and why I tell you so much?"
Xia Ji said lightly, "You feel confident that you can beat me."
"No, let's not call for now, I just tell you one thing, you will be very happy to hear it."
The emperor leaned forward slightly, smiled and said: "Your mother was abandoned by the family owner, so I will deal with her,
You and your sister were also abandoned, so I will keep you in the imperial capital,
And what's even more interesting is that you have been labeled as demons and aliens. They see you as capable and want you to be a greedy wolf to accomplish their goals. "
"For what purpose?"
"I don't know either. What I know is that I want to share this happiness with you, because you are like me, no matter how hard you struggle, you are a bird in this cage and can't fly out, hahahahaha."
