Silence!
Outside Yiqing Pavilion, the Imperial Army and the Turkic spies had been locked in a fierce battle a moment ago, but with the roar of the man in black, the noisy courtyard instantly fell silent. Both sides turned their gazes to the man in black and Li Tai standing in front of him!
"Your Highness!"
Seeing that the man in black had taken Li Tai hostage, the Imperial Army was alarmed. Without needing Hu Langjiang's orders, the Imperial Army automatically changed their formation and completely surrounded the man in black and Li Tai.
At this moment, the actions of the man in black and Li Tai were rather strange. Li Tai was holding a dagger, but the dagger was pointed at his neck. The man in black had placed his sword on Li Tai's shoulder, but for some reason, the sword was still some distance away from Li Tai's neck. At first glance, it seemed like the man in black did not want Li Tai to die!
No matter how one looked at it, it was strange!
It was like a robber holding a hostage. The hostage wanted to die, but the robber wanted to protect the hostage. It didn't make sense at all!
However, such a thing that defied common sense had really happened!
"Protect His Highness!"
At this moment, Hu Langjiang reacted and shouted loudly.
The Imperial Army pointed their swords at the man in black who had just come out of Yiqing Pavilion. As for the Turkic spies behind them, they could no longer care about them. If something happened to Li Tai, their mission in Taiyuan would be considered a complete failure, and none of them would be able to escape Li Er's punishment!
However, because the man in black had placed his sword on Li Tai's shoulder, the Imperial Army did not dare to make any moves. After all, Li Tai's life was still in the hands of the man in black!
"Haha! Tianying, you've succeeded! "
At this moment, a thin masked man flew down from the roof of Yiqing Pavilion. It was Xuan Ye, who had been fighting with Dugu Xin earlier. Xuan Ye landed steadily beside the black-clothed man. After glancing at Li Tai, who was standing in front of the black-clothed man, Xuan Ye's hanging heart immediately returned to his stomach. He let out a light breath and smiled faintly.
That's right, the black-clothed man who had sneaked into the room to capture Li Tai was Zhao Deyan's second-in-command, Tianying. Previously, Xuan Ye had led his men to attack the posthouse from the front, attracting most of the Imperial Army to the east side of the posthouse. Even Dugu Xin, the Commander of the Imperial Army who had yet to recover from his injuries, had personally left his room to participate in the battle. Thus, there were very few Imperial Army soldiers left to protect Li Tai!
This gave Sky Eagle a chance to sneak into Yiqing Pavilion!
Seeing Xuan Ye fly over, Sky Eagle nodded in greeting before replying, "This is all thanks to you and your brothers holding back the majority of the Imperial Army's forces! Let's take King Wei away now and go back to rescue the Guard Master! "
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "That's how it should be!"
At this moment, Sky Eagle coldly said to Li Tai, "Your Highness King Wei, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, right? This seat has no intention of harming your life. As long as you get these Imperial Army soldiers to open a path for us to leave, this seat will naturally protect you! Your status is noble, and your body is priceless. You shouldn't be willing to exchange your life for ours, right? "
In principle, Sky Eagle didn't want Li Tai to die because he needed to use Li Tai as a hostage to rescue Zhao Deyan. However, this didn't mean that he didn't dare to kill Li Tai. If Li Tai didn't cooperate with him and instead recklessly ordered the Imperial Army to attack the people they had brought with them, Sky Eagle didn't mind dragging Li Tai down with him before he died!
After all, he was about to die. He couldn't care less about the mission!
"… All of you, disperse and let them go!"
Li Tai also understood that he and Sky Eagle were at most in a relationship of checks and balances. Sky Eagle didn't dare to kill him casually, and he didn't want to throw his life away so easily. As long as they didn't completely fall out with each other, they could coexist peacefully. However, once they did, it would be a life and death struggle, and both sides would suffer great losses! Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Tai finally gave the order.
