Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 86 – 81. You and I Are Both Caged Birds

Chapter 86: 81. You and I Are Both Caged Birds

Xia Ji walked under the moonlight of the ancient temple. The masters of the Great Light Temple were mostly cultivating in the Great Sun Hall. Although there were many monks of light from the Palace of All Life, none of them could discover him. After all, no one would have thought that someone would steal the scriptures instead of the mystic arts. What was the use of stealing scriptures?

Xia Ji came and left silently.

Tomorrow, the monk of Great Light Temple would discover the missing scripture, but he would already be thousands of miles away.

After stepping into the wilderness, he raised his hand, and a huge shadow fell from the sky under the moonlight.

A golden eagle descended from the sky and crouched at his feet.

Who said that one had to take a carriage to go south?

He stepped onto the eagle and patted its wings.

The eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew up.

It was late at night.

Spring was chilly and the night wind was bone-piercing.

Xia Ji sat on the eagle’s back. The remaining distance was point-to-point. He could ignore all routes and reach the south as fast as he could.

This was what he wanted. When his eighth sister, who was good at observing Qi, woke up, he would have arrived at his destination.

She must have set up many ambushes along the way, but sorry, her plans were going to be disrupted.

Xia Ji sat on the falcon, occasionally taking out a piece of meat from his dark gold cloak and throwing it forward. The falcon raised its head and ate it, then sped south without stopping.

Now, his dark gold cloak had expanded to three cubic meters. It contained a string of 3,000 worlds, a string of 1,008 magic worlds, a string of 108 worries, and 20 strings of 14 basic Tathagata Prayer Beads.

Other than that, there were also his Great Dark Heavenly Halberd, Beast-faced Devourer Consecutive Armor, some pills, food, and many other essential items.

The sharp cry of an eagle pierced through the sky, and then passed through the night and dawn.

Xia Ji passed through the mountains and rivers…

After seven days, he had completed the 8,000-mile journey and arrived at the north of the Great River ahead of time.

Early spring was the time when the snow and ice melted. Looking down from a high place, the great river surged and never returned to the east. It was as if the great regret of life could no longer be made up for.

The falcon circled the clouds a few times, and Xia Ji observed the scenery below. He was not in a hurry to enter the city, but rode on the falcon and looked down from above so that he could see it clearly.

Usually, he would camp with this eagle demon on the mountain peak.

There were many wild beasts in the forest in the early spring. He hunted some wild rabbits and made them into roasted meat. He ate half of it himself and gave the rest to the eagle demon as a reward. At night, he took out his tent and rested in it. Then, he took out the Great Light Temple’s book collection and continued reading at night.

Two days passed like this.

On the third day, at dawn, a huge five-toothed warship broke through the waves of the river. The warship had five floors and was more than a hundred feet tall. Its flags fluttered like clouds.

The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the ship was wearing a dragon robe. He had an extraordinary temperament and looked down on the world.

Xia Ji immediately recognized the emperor, Xia Taiqian.

He was here to see Tian Zi.

It was considered a success now.

Presumably, the Crown Prince would face many obstacles on his way here, but these had nothing to do with him.

He had already found his target, so he was just waiting to meet him.

Xia Taiqian stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, accompanied by several guards in embroidered robes.

The waves rolled. Tian Zi suddenly raised his head and looked at the golden clouds. Xia Ji patted the eagle demon’s head and let it fly higher.

An eagle and a boat, one in the sky, one on the water, moving forward together.

Pa da.

The five-toothed warship docked at the largest dock in the northern city, and there were already many soldiers lined up outside to welcome it. Xia Ji waited patiently. He had too many questions to ask Tian Zi.

Night fell.

Tian Zi had already moved into the temporary palace.

The moon was bright tonight.

Tian Zi dismissed all the guards and then quietly enjoyed the wine in the courtyard.

The eagle demon flapped its wings, and a strong wind blew on the ground, causing people to squint their eyes to avoid the sandstorm.

During this time, Xia Ji had already jumped down from a high place and landed on the glazed roof tiles of the palace.

Tian Zi was pouring wine. Under the moonlight, it was clear that there were two cups of wine.

“You’re here?”

Xia Ji didn’t hide. He jumped down from the glazed tiles and stood in the courtyard.

Tian Zits expression was calm, as if he was not surprised that he was here. He pointed to the other side of the stone table and said,”Sit.”

Xia Ji did not move.

Tian Zi looked up. ” We are father and son. It’s been 18 years. It can be considered fate. Sit down and have a chat.

“Did you kill Mother?” Xia Ji asked.

“That’s right. I absorbed her power, and she died because of it.”

Xia Ji’s tone was already very calm. ” Reason.

“Reason

A mocking smile appeared on Tian Zi’s lips. He muttered the ‘reason’ a few times, then laughed with a slightly crazy expression. After laughing, there was no movement from the guards in the distance.

“I’m the only one in the palace. All the guards have been driven out.” I saw you on the warship today, so I have been waiting for you tonight.”

Xia Ji looked at him quietly.

“You asked me for a reason, so I’ll tell you today…” Before I ascended the throne, I already knew one thing.”

He waved his hand, gesturing for Xia Ji to come closer.

However, Xia Ji did not move.

Tian Zi shook his head and laughed. His smile was extremely ferocious, “”Seventh Brother, do you know that I can’t give birth? None of you are my children! Other than those from the same mother, the others are not related by blood!”

“Do you know how I feel in the palace?” he asked with a trembling smile.

Without waiting for Xia Ji’s reply, he growled, “”Caged Sparrow!”

Then, he poured himself two glasses of wine and said, “”Do you know what a cage is?”

“An aristocratic family that has been around for thousands of years!” he growled.

“Do you know how I rose to the throne when I wasn’t the Crown Prince?”

“The aristocratic families killed the Crown Prince and all the other princes and sent me, this puppet, to the throne.”

“Do you know why the aristocratic families want me to ascend the throne?”

“Because I was the one who kept the lowest profile among the princes. I looked the easiest to control, and I was also the one who couldn’t have children.”

“Do you know why the aristocratic families want an emperor who can’t give birth

Tian Zi became more and more deranged, and there was a hint of laughter in his tone.

However, this smile was a little scary.

“Because they want to seize the world. Do you understand the nature of the Nine Dragons Competition for the throne? Essence…ln essence, it was a division of the world between the aristocratic families. However, the aristocratic families do not keep trash, so other than a few concubines, none of you know. The aristocratic families want to see who is the strongest among you.”

Tian Zits every word was a shocking secret.

However, he was still not satisfied and drank cup after cup of fine wine. “Xia Ji, do you know my feelings for you?

I want every single one of you to die, every single one of you to die tragically.

So, why should I care about this world?

The more tattered this world is, the happier I am!

What does the invasion of the Outsiders have to do with me? What does the common people have to do with me?

Could the common people be considered humans? Was there anyone else in this world other than these thousand-year-old aristocratic families?

Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf and watching the aristocratic families fight each other is my greatest pleasure.”

“By the way, do you know why I want to see you and why I want to say so much to you?

“You think you can beat me?” Xia Ji asked lightly.

‘ No, let’s not fight for now. I’m just telling you one thing. I’m sure you’ll be very happy to hear it. ”

Tian Zi leaned forward slightly and smiled, “”Your mother was abandoned by the family head, so I dealt with her.

You and your sister have also been abandoned, which is why I left you in the Imperial City.

What’s even more interesting is that you’ve already been labeled as a demon and an anomaly. They see that you have the ability and want you to be a greedy wolf to accomplish their goals.”

“What’s the purpose?”

“Zhen also does not know. I know that I want to share this happiness with you, because you are the same as me. No matter how you struggle, you are a bird in a cage and can’t fly out. Hahahahaha..”
