Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dagger (Part 1)
"Hee-hee! Sister Wenwen, look, look, fly, fly! "In the garden of the palace, there was the sound of laughter like a silver bell of nightshade. The little lady jumped and jumped and applauded vigorously. She has been very happy these days, since she knew that Xu Mo and Dinah lived in the palace, she came to play in the garden every day.
Today, Dinah made a kite out of bamboo and silk, and made the nightshade, who had never seen a kite in the sky, cheer and chase the kite in the sky around the garden. Faced with this state, Xu Mo felt helpless, he could tell Dinah not to leave his side, but he couldn't stop the nightshade from pulling people every day.
It has been seven days since Xu Mo and Dinah moved into the palace, and they have been safe and sound in the past few days, but Xu Mo, who has always been calm, is becoming more and more impatient day by day. Although he didn't say anything, both Long Yang and Dina could see from the face that was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off, and Nie Li's leader was in a very bad mood.
"Brother Nie Li, but what's on your mind?" Because the army of Yang Guo will basically attack the city once every few days these days, but the scale of each time is not large, and there is no pressure on Jiang Cheng's defense, so Long Yang specially returned to the palace from the city head today to accompany Long Kui.
Looking at the garden meadow, playing with Nightshade and Dinah, Long Yang had a knowing smile on his face. Unlike Xu Mo, Long Yang's mood has been very good these days, although Jiang Cheng is still besieged by Yang Guoda's army, but Long Yang is no longer worried.
Because just today, the Fang Shi in charge of casting the magic sword told Long Yang that the blood demon sword had all turned into molten iron and flowed into the sword mold, and the sword embryo of the magic sword was successfully cast! It's just that the cry of a childish child can be heard from time to time in the sword-casting furnace, and it seems that those childish resentful spirits who were originally sacrificed by the blood demon sword are not willing to become the soul of the demon sword.
However, Long Yang believed that after a while, the magic sword would be completely cast, and at that time, Jiang Guo would be able to defeat Yang Guo's army with the power of the magic sword and lift the siege of Jiang Cheng.
"It's okay, the prince knows, how many days does it take for the magic sword to form a sword soul?" Xu Mo shook his head and asked.
"If it is short, it will be three or five, and if it is long, it will be more than a month, and the magic sword will definitely form a sword soul." Long Yang replied confidently.
"At least three more days?" A hint of disappointment flashed on Xu Mo's face, and then he said to Long Yang seriously, "Do you remember what Nie Li told you half a month ago?" ”
"What does Big Brother Nie Li mean...... That thing! Long Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Long Yang has already sent guards to investigate, but the time is too short and there is no result yet!" ”
Xu nodded silently, and silently turned his head to look at the smiling nightshade and Dinah in the garden, and his eyes revealed a touch of sadness.
It was getting late, and Long Yang finally called away the nightshade and let him go back to the palace to rest. Seeing Dinah coming back with the kite in her mind, Xu Mo asked lightly, "Have fun, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all nightshade, it's not over when you're crazy, hehe!" Dinah looked at Xu Mo with a straight face, lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, and laughed wryly.
"How many days do you have left in this world?" Xu Mo suddenly asked a strange question.
"Huh? …… Including today, there are only twelve days left! Dinah's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that she had very little time to get together with Longyang Nightshade.
"It's not a few days!" Dinah sighed a little regretfully. In the past few days with the two brothers and sisters of Longyang and Nightshade, I am afraid that she has been the happiest since she entered the space, and her heart can't help but be full of reluctance.
"From us into this world full moon...... There's one day and one night left! Xu Mo also sighed, but the meaning in his words was completely different from Dinah's, as if the time was too long. In fact, Xu Mo himself had ten more days left than Dinah, but Xu Mo seemed to only pay attention to the full moon time when the reincarnator entered this world, and did not pay attention to the rest of the remaining time.
"Tonight, you come to my room for the night!" After Xu Mo finished speaking, he left by himself, ignoring Dinah.
"Huh? Yes! Dinah's eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she was about to say something, but she saw that Xu Mo only left her a back. Suddenly blushing slightly, he stomped his feet, bit his lip and left.
At night, Dinah fidgeted and stayed in Xu Mo's room, occasionally sneaking a glance at Xu Mo, who was sitting next to Xiao Ji, closing her eyes and recuperating, and then rubbed the corners of her clothes, a little distracted.
"It's out of the water!" Suddenly, there was a panicked shout from outside the room.
Xu Mo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, stood up and said lightly to Dinah, "Follow me!" ”
"Good!" When Dinah let out her first exclamation outside the room, her eyes had already cleared up, and she knew that she was thinking too much. Xu Mo asked her to stay here at night, not as she imagined, but because she had long expected the accident at night.
When the two walked out of the room, they saw that a corner of King Jiang's palace was already on fire, and the guards in the palace were constantly running to put out the fire. Dinah gritted her teeth and asked Xu Mo, "Brother K, is this what you arranged?" ”
"No, but soon, we'll find out who it is!" Xu Mo said meaningfully. Xu Mo said that, and walked in one direction of the palace.
"Brother K, it's not there that's on fire!" Dinah watched in surprise as Xu Mo walked in the opposite direction of the fire source.
"I know, we're not going to put out fires!" Xu Mo said without looking back. "Hurry up!"
Xu Mo took Dinah and walked in the palace for a while, and then came to the "Sword Shrine" where the magic sword was cast. After entering the bluestone school, Long Yang walked over with a heavy face, and said bitterly: "Brother Nie Li is really clever, knowing that something will happen tonight, could it be that it is really those people......
When Xu Mo saw Long Yang here, he was taken aback, and asked urgently: "Why is the prince here, didn't he ask the prince to strengthen the guard at the city gate?" ”
Long Yang hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Brother Nie Li, the magic sword is a big matter, and there is no room for mistakes. What's more, Jiang Cheng has four city gates, and it is useless for Long Yang to defend one place alone, and Long Yang has sent his own soldiers to guard the four gates, so there should be no accident! ”
While the two were talking, there was a faint sound of boiling people in the distance, and the sound was getting louder and louder, as if the rolling thunder on the horizon was approaching.
A bloodstained guard ran in from outside the school yard, crawled in front of Long Yang, and shouted in panic: "Prince, the West Gate is lost!" Yang Guo...... Yang Guo's army has entered the city! ”
