Chapter 597: Praetorian Guards Control Cranes
"Presumptuous!!" Zeng Xiu, the henchman beside Zhang Li, immediately pulled out his sword and stepped forward, pointing at the guard who was still holding a short crossbow and roared angrily: "Do you know what you are doing? Behind me is Kyoto's left-behind Zhang Lizhang! You dare to use your sword against Lord Zhang! That alone could kill you countless times! ”
"Lay down your arms! Fast! At this time, the soldiers around Zhang Li also reacted, and they all drew their knives and stepped forward, protecting Zhang Li behind him, glaring at the angry eyes one by one, eager to chop the guy in front of him into meat sauce.
"Hehehe! Drop your weapon? Will you let us go? Who knew that the guard was not afraid of the scene in front of him at all, he just laughed coldly a few times, but the short crossbow in his hand did not move at all, and he was still very vigilant against Zhang Li and the others in front of him. Immediately, the guard tilted his head slightly, and asked in a deep voice with a concerned face at his companion who was covering the wound under his ribs: "Brother! Can you still hold on? It seems that this matter is not easy to solve today! ”
"Humph! Our brother who has been afraid of the crane in this life? The injured guard gritted his teeth, straightened his body a little, stared at Zhang Li and the others in front of him, grinned widely, revealing his blood-stained teeth, and the surrounding light was a little hideous.
"Crane control?!" Although the injured guard's voice just now was not high, it smashed into the hearts of everyone, including Zhang Li, like a heavy hammer, and even Zhang Li frowned in an instant.
Before coming just now, Zhang Li had only heard that his subordinates had clashed with the guards in the imperial city, but no one knew that the other party was actually the person who controlled the crane. Control Crane, is Huang Chao after the self-proclaimed emperor, personally in the army will be a group of elite selected as their own personal guards, although the number is not too much, but they are all skilled, not only that, the important thing is that these people have borne countless military exploits, it can be said that any of them, have made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Qi regime.
At this moment, Zhang Li's mood instantly became entangled, the reason why he came to deal with this matter overnight, originally thought that the other party was his sworn enemy Wang Teng's person, so he spared no effort to work hard, and also brought his own personal army to this end, and had already passed the order to his henchmen and generals, and dispatched the nearby garrison army to surround the entire Tongjifang, wanting to suppress Wang Teng, but who would have thought that he would meet the person who controlled the crane by mistake.
And Zhang Li also knew that Lin Yan, the person in charge of the crane control, was not only Huang Chao's nephew, but also had a very good personal relationship with his rival Wang Teng. Suddenly, Zhang Li had the feeling of jumping into a big pit, and it was a deep pit.
What made Zhang Li even more embarrassed was that after the other party reported that it was the person who controlled the crane, the henchmen and soldiers around him did not react, which could not be blamed on them, the people who could be brought to the scene by Zhang Li in person were naturally some knowledgeable guys, they knew a lot about the control of the crane, they didn't think that their people could get a bargain under the control of the crane, and even they thought that even Zhang Li did not dare to rashly have a head-on conflict with the person who controlled the crane.
However, during Huang Chao's absence, Zhang Li had been in Chang'an City for many years, and this Huang Chao had only returned for half a day, how could Zhang Li tolerate his prestige being provoked? Moreover, Zhang Li can take hundreds of people with him at the moment, if he just hears the two people on the opposite side say that he will ignore the tragic death of his subordinates, I am afraid that this matter will spread all over Chang'an City early tomorrow morning, and at that time, Zhang Li will have no face to continue to stay in Chang'an.
"Crane control? What about the people who control the cranes? Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, and finally a killing intent flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that the people who control the crane can fight at will, and even use weapons to commit murder on the street?" Isn't it illegal for someone who controls cranes to kill someone?! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Li's eyes suddenly shot out of a killing machine, his steps stepped back, and he stopped shouting: "What are you doing in a daze?" Take down these two bold and public murderers for me! If you dare to resist, rectify the law on the spot!! ”
"Presumptuous! I'll see who dares! In the crowd of people who were watching the excitement from afar, there was a sudden loud shout, and the soldiers around Zhang Li who had just carried their swords and were about to leave were stunned, and then they all turned their eyes to the source of the voice, only to see Lin Yan, who was dressed in night clothes, walked out of the scattered crowd, followed by Lin Yan's group of people who also belonged to the crane control.
"The one who controls the crane, how can anyone who wants to move it? Isn't it too arrogant, too indifferent to His Majesty today? Lin Yan walked forward slowly, speaking unhurriedly but loudly, and then walked to the two guards who were fighting, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't put it away yet, what does it look like?!" ”
Immediately after, two people behind Lin Yan quickly stepped forward, bent down and squatted down, and checked the companions on the ground, one of them turned around and said, "General, there is another one who is saved!" ”
"Take it away, let's treat it nearby first!" At this point, Lin Yan didn't even glance at Zhang Li and the others opposite, and after giving the order as if no one was around, he frowned, and shouted dissatisfiedly at the two injured guards: "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's fuck off! I'll clean you up when I get back! ”
"Wait!" At this moment, Zhang Li's face on the opposite side couldn't hold back, in front of everyone's eyes, Lin Yan didn't give himself any face, in front of many subordinates, how could Zhang Li still be calm, he immediately shouted violently, and then shouted coldly: "If you don't have an explanation for this matter today!" Don't even think about leaving! ”
When he arrived, the soldiers brought by Zhang Li received the order, and although they were reluctant, they still set off quickly, forming a large semicircle at the scene, surrounding Lin Yan and others.
"General Lin! What are you dressed for? What do you want to do? It wasn't until the soldiers dispersed that Zhang Li looked at Lin Yan in front of him clearly, but after seeing Lin Yan in a black tight night suit, he couldn't help frowning, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, and asked coldly.
"Control the crane to do things! Do you still need to report to Master Zhang? Could it be that Master Zhang still wants to control the crane? It seems that chatting with Wang Teng in the afternoon has been affected, Lin Yan didn't plan to give Zhang Li any face, and he also buttoned a big hat to the other party. What kind of Praetorian Guard organization is the control of the crane, it is only responsible for Huang Chao alone, and it also directly obeys the orders of Huang Chao alone.
Lin Yan's simple sentence scared Zhang Li a lot, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to admit it for the sake of face, that was a crime of rebellion.
"General Lin, you can't talk nonsense, I don't mean that!" Zhang Li was obviously a little shorter in terms of momentum, and he arched his hand slightly at Lin Yan, and then he turned around, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice to Lin Yan without being humble or arrogant: "It's just that the death of several captains and officers can't be so unclear!" If there is no reasonable explanation, then Zhang and I are not like the brothers in the army to explain! I can only grieve General Lin and Konghe's brothers! ”
