The dagger in Li Tai's hand actually has a great origin!
In the early years of Wude, the Turks invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. Li Er, who was still the king of Qin at the time, led an army to attack the Turks in the north. He fought many battles and won many victories along the way. It was an overwhelming force. Among them, after killing the leader of a certain tribe, Li Er seized a weapon. An extremely exquisite dagger. Since then, this dagger has been used by Li Er to dissect many cattle and sheep during his military career. In Li Er's hands, this dagger has been used more as "tableware". Not a killing tool!
Later, Li Er gave this dagger, which symbolized victory and glory, to one of his most beloved sons, Li Tai. Li Tai was only four or five years old at the time. He just thought the dagger was beautiful and fun. At first, After the novelty wore off, I stopped paying attention!
This time he went north to build a telegraph relay station with the teachers and students of the academy. It was Li Taichang's first time traveling far away at his age, so he brought the dagger that Li Er had given him as a reward for self-defense. However, no matter who he was, Neither Li Er nor Li Er thought that this dagger from the Turkic tribe would appear pointed at Li Tai himself in the battle against the Turkic spies!
But no matter what, Li Tai's actions of fighting for his life and sacrificing his life for righteousness today cannot be considered as insulting this dagger that symbolizes victory and glory!
"Okay! Very good! Then I will give His Highness Prince Wei some face and let this baby go for the time being!"
In the room, seeing that Li Tai really wanted to threaten him with his life, the man in black didn't dare to take the risk. He sneered twice and then moved the sword away from Tiedan's head!
As Li Tai said just now, if Li Tai had not been a hostage, once the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty government arrived, all of them who attacked the post house would probably have to be handed over here. In addition, even if they evacuated the post house before the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty government arrived and failed to capture Li Tai alive, they would still be considered a failure in their mission, because Zhao Deyan was likely to have fallen into the hands of the Tang government at this time. If they could not capture Li Tai alive If he goes back to be a hostage, Zhao Deyan's life may not be guaranteed!
Therefore, the man in black did not dare to gamble at all. Faced with Li Tai's pressure to die, he could only choose to compromise.
After all, whether or not Tiedan is killed has no impact on the overall situation, but once Li Tai dies, it will have a huge impact on the overall situation!
"...I have given your Highness Prince Wei some face. Next, I hope His Highness Prince Wei can keep his promise and leave with me honestly!"
After retracting the sword in his hand, the man in black abandoned Tiedan and walked slowly towards Li Tai's direction, speaking lightly as he walked.
At this time, he did not dare to provoke Li Tai too much, because who knew if Li Tai would wipe his neck with the dagger in his hand if he was unhappy
Li Tai said with cold eyes: "As long as you let him go, I will keep my promise and follow you!"
The man in black quickly came to Li Tai's side. Seeing that Li Tai was still holding the dagger against his throat, the man in black frowned and couldn't help but said: "I have let go of the little baby, His Highness King Wei will still Put the dagger away!"
He was worried that Li Tai might accidentally pierce his throat. Who would he cry to then
If you don't watch the scene and just listen to their conversation, others may think that the man in black and Li Tai are from the same camp, because he is even more concerned about his safety than Li Tai himself!
"If I put down my dagger now, what will you do if you go back on your promise?"
Li Tai glanced at the man in black and said calmly: "You don't need to waste any more words. I will follow you now. Let's go out first. After all your people have evacuated from the post house, I will put down the dagger!"
After that, Li Tai glanced towards the door and motioned for the people in black to leave the room with him first.
It's funny to say that for Li Tai, his own life has become his biggest bargaining chip now!
The main reason is that he is worried that after he puts down the dagger, the man in black will take away his dagger and temporarily incapacitate him, and then go to kill Tiedan. In that case, he will have nothing to threaten the man in black. "Chips" could only watch Tiedan being slaughtered by the men in black. That was a situation he absolutely did not want to see!
Therefore, not only did Li Tai have no intention of putting down the dagger in his hand, on the contrary, he tightened the dagger in his hand and stared at the man in black with a wary expression. If the latter made any change, he would stab him immediately. Break your own throat!
"...Okay! Then please invite His Majesty the King of Wei~!"
Faced with Li Tai's vigilance, the man in black couldn't help but be speechless. In other words, he did have the intention to take away the dagger in Li Tai's hand, but Li Tai was on full alert now. He was really not sure that he could take it away before Li Tai reacted. He wanted to take away the dagger in his hand, so he could only suppress his thoughts for the time being, then stood next to Li Tai and said to Li Tai.
"… Um!"
Li Tai was extremely nervous, but his face looked surprisingly calm at the moment. He nodded and walked towards the door first.
"Qingque... no... don't~!"
Seeing Li Tai and the man in black walking towards the door one after another, Tiedan clenched his fists and his eyes almost burst into flames. Looking at Li Tai's leaving back, he shouted in despair.
"Tiedan, live well and go find the mountain leader!"
Li Tai paused, turned his back to Tiedan, and said.
After that, he walked out of the room directly. He didn't look back because he knew it was useless to look back. In the current situation, if he didn't follow the man in black, Tiedan would definitely die!
Of course, he didn't want to die, so he let Tiedan live well and then go find Li Zexuan! In Li Tai's view, the Forbidden Army has suffered heavy losses. Dugu Xin was seriously injured before. After tonight's battle, it is hard to say whether Dugu Xin can save his life. The only person who can save him right now is the one who is omnipotent in his mind. man!
It's just that Li Zexuan is far away in Chang'an now. Even if he rides a fast horse, it will take more than a day to reach Taiyuan. At that time, his hope of being rescued becomes even slimmer!
The man in black followed Li Tai to the door. Hearing the sound, he turned to look at Tiedan with a hint of teasing in the corners of his eyes, and then left without looking back.
"Qingque~!"
Seeing Li Tai and the man in black completely disappear from sight, Tiedan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and shouted unwillingly.
"Stop it all! Your Highness, King Wei, is in my hands. All of you, put down your weapons!"
Leaving the room and going down to the attic, the men in black "escorted" Li Tai out of Yiqing Pavilion. Outside, the Forbidden Army retracted their defense and guarded around Yiqing Pavilion. They were confronting the men and horses brought by Xuan Ye. At this time, the man in black suddenly Roared and said.
