On the streets of Hangzhou, the colorful lanterns hung high by every house illuminate the entire street as if it were daytime.

These lanterns have different shapes, or flowers, birds or fish and insects, colorful, competing for beauty, and they are very good-looking.

But the whole street, and even the whole city, was deserted, there was not even a single person on the street, and every house closed early, which did not look like the festive season was approaching at all.

Something big was destined to happen tonight, and these ordinary people must have smelled some danger, so they all huddled at home, just hoping to avoid trouble.

Lei Jiutian walked on the empty street, admiring the lanterns hanging out from each house, and thought so.

He is just in his early forties this year, and he is the youngest of the Lei family's direct "Tian" generation.

For many years, he has always hoped that he can be like his cousins, like the "Three Heroes of the Lei Family" Lei Jingtian, Lei Dongtian, and Lei Potian, who can be famous all over the world and achieve a great career.

It's a pity that in the Great Lei Gate, the direct line of the Lei family and the children of the side branches fight with each other and fall into each other, perhaps for the sake of the balance of power, although he is the direct son of the Lei family, and his generation is equivalent to Lei Potian, but he has not been reused.

However, after tonight, tomorrow at dawn, everything will be different.

He couldn't help but glance back behind him.

Behind Lei Jiutian, he neatly followed fifty masters of the direct line and side branches of the Lei family who had come from all over Hangzhou City these days.

They are all elites of the Lei family, with first-class skills, and incomparable loyalty to the Lei family.

And at this moment, they were all dressed in black suits, quietly following their own pace, and they were the leaders of these elites of the Lei family who were personally appointed by Lei Potian tonight.

Some people may question why Lei Jiutian was chosen to lead them? Could it be that the Great Thunder Gate is really unavailable, so there is no general in Shu, and Liao has become a pioneer?

However, Lei Jiutian himself would never think so.

Of course, such a big operation tonight needs a trustworthy, experienced and steady person to lead and command, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

At least that's what he himself thinks.

He never doubted his ability, just as he never doubted his cousin Lei Potian's decision, as long as he followed his cousin's footsteps, the Lei family would surely be revived and return to the peak of glory, just like the Great Thunder Gate in the past twenty years.

When it comes to Shuzhong, Shuzhong Tangmen, after tonight, their power in the south of the Yangtze River will be completely eradicated, and as the rising sun tomorrow, the name of the Great Thunder Gate will be like the sun, sprinkled all over the land south of the Yangtze River again, sprinkled all over the world.

And his name will also spread all over the rivers and lakes and become famous all over the world.

Lei Jiutian is very confident in this.

So every step he took at the moment was very firm, and he seemed so full of ambition.

Crossing the street in front of it, it is where the branch of the Tangmen of Shuzhong in the Jiangnan area is located, and the person in that compound, Tang Yu, is the most important target tonight.

Lei Jiutian had no doubt that the fifty elites of the Lei family behind him could level all the defense forces in this compound with a snap of their fingers, and victory seemed to be like the dewdrop-red, bright red fruit on the branches in front of him, which could be picked with just one stretch of hand.

But at this moment, Lei Jiutian's steps stopped.

As soon as he stopped, the fifty Lei family elites behind him also stopped, there was no doubt, without exception, the same movements of the fifty people were as accurate as a machine, and their switch spring was the Lei Jiutian in front.

At this moment, Lei Jiutian stood silently, staring at the last section of the street in front of him.

Along the way, all the shops on both sides of the street were closed without exception, and the lights were dark, and there was no one in the fire.

But this section of the road in front of you, the merchants on both sides

The doors were all open, the lights were bright, and they were full of people, but they were neither shopping nor talking to each other, but they were standing quietly, as if they were all waiting for something.

In the middle of the empty street, there was a Taishi chair, on which sat an old man who was thin and thin, with a conspicuous hooked nose, and looked like a dried roasted chicken, was holding a pot of tea, leisurely pouring himself there.

Lei Jiutian stood in place, silently staring at the thin old man for a long time, the old man was unconscious, and he was still drinking tea by himself.

Lei Jiutian suddenly raised his feet and took a big step forward.

As soon as he moved, the fifty elites of the Lei family behind him also took a big step forward in unison. "Bang", even the sound of footsteps was so neat, Lei Jiutian listened to it in his ears, and felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

Facing such a strange scene in front of him, he inevitably felt some nervousness in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face.

At this time, he learned from his cousin Lei Potian, no matter what kind of situation his cousin encountered, he always had an incomparably majestic face and no expression, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.

It's a pity that Lei Jiu's face is not majestic enough by nature, and his face droops down as soon as he gets up, like a crying face, so he deliberately designed a smiling face for himself, no matter what the situation is, he always smiles, which can give people a false impression of confidence.

Just after Lei Jiutian took a tentative step, the thin old man suddenly moved.

He raised the teapot in his hand and smiled at Lei Jiutian and asked, "It's been hard all the way, this is this year's new tea, it's very good, do you want to try it?"

His smile looked more confident than Lei Jiutian's, and Lei Jiutian's heart couldn't help jumping.

But he still tried his best to keep the smile on his face and shook his head: "No need. Old man, it's late at night, and it's even more cold, why don't you go home and rest?"

The thin old man smiled and said, "The old man also wants to go back to rest early and welcome tomorrow's festival, but he has to guard this street because of the entrustment of others, so what can he do?"

Lei Jiutian seemed to ask with some interest, "What are you doing guarding this street?"

The thin old man smiled and said: "Wait for you! If you can go back to rest early at this moment, then the old man can also go back, so the night is cool and breezy, I hope you will be more considerate, please." ”

Lei Jiutian sneered in his heart, as expected, sure enough, this old man was coming for them, and he asked, "So, the old man is waiting here on a special trip, not letting us pass?"

The thin old man sighed and said: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, there is no way to be old, please be more considerate, more considerate." ”

His tone sounded unanimous in his voice, as if he were a sleek and sophisticated businessman talking about business.

Lei Jiutian kept the smile on his face with the help of his strength, but his tone was no longer so friendly: "What if we have to pass tonight?"

The thin old man sighed repeatedly: "Alas, what can be done about the old man? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had been standing in the shops on both sides, as if they had received some kind of instruction, all of them poured out like a tide at once, and stood behind the thin old man.

These people are old and young, men and women, dressed in different ways, they all look like some peddlers and pawns, ordinary people in the market, and even some of them wear the official clothes of the fast guards in the government, there are no less than hundreds of people.

At this moment, they are holding all kinds of blades, even flat kitchen knives, with a resolute face, standing behind the thin old man with their chests straight, black and pressing, and the momentum makes people can't help but be moved.

Lei Jiutian could see that these people were by no means ordinary people, they all looked like they were all men with martial arts, he was not afraid of these people, but if he really broke through, he was afraid that the fifty elites of the Lei family behind him would also pay a lot of price.

He frowned and asked the thin old man, "Who is Venerable?"

The thin old man stood up from his chair, smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man is just a slave of others." The old Qian Peiguang is the head of the Heavenly Providence Building. ”

Lei Jiutian's heart was suddenly shocked, Providence Building?

I'm afraid that no one in the world has ever heard of this name.

I am afraid that no one in the world is willing to be the enemy of Providence, and money can communicate with God, just as no one will want to be against money.

The Lei family was naturally unwilling.

The business and power of the Providence Building are all over the world, and the wealth is rival the country, and if the Providence Building is offended, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the rivers and lakes in the future.

Lei Jiutian hesitated.

But he was not reconciled, after all, this was the most important action that the Lei family had planned for a long time, and it was the most important task given to him by his cousin Lei Potian personally, which was related to whether the Great Thunder Gate could be revived and whether the Lei family could rise again.

Even I can't account for myself.

He asked in a deep voice, "It turns out that the chief manager of Qian is here personally, since there is such a big battle, I must naturally know what we are doing here." It's just that I don't know when the Heavenly Providence Tower will start to support the Tang Gate in Shuzhong?"

Qian Peiguang said with a smile: "The old man has already said it, but he is just entrusted by others and repaid everyone's favor." Tianyi Lou is a businessman, never meddles in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, has always been neutral, and does not help each other. ”

Lei Jiutian snorted angrily: "But tonight you are helping the Tang Sect in Shuzhong." ”

Qian Peiguang shook his head: "No, no, it's not the people from the Tang Gate in Shu who entrusted us, and the old man is only responsible for blocking you here and not letting you pass, as for what happened to the Tang Gate, Tianyi Lou will never interfere." ”

Lei Jiutian couldn't care about smiling anymore at this time, he said with a calm face: "In this way, the Heavenly Providence Building is determined to be my enemy today?

Qian Peiguang still smiled: "Although Tianyi Lou is unwilling to make a loss-making business, it doesn't hurt to do it once in a while, after all, in the eyes of the contemptuous owner, the value of human favor is definitely not something that can be measured by money." ”

"As for the price, the old man has already sent people to spread the news among the people, so that everyone will return to their homes tonight and not go out, so as to avoid innocent injuries. As for these people behind me, you don't think there is anyone who is afraid of death and retreats, don't you?"

In the last sentence, he asked the more than 100 people behind him, and the crowd burst out in unison: "Yes!"

The sound shook the sky, and the momentum was compelling, and for a while, Lei Jiutian's heart was even more hesitant.

Since the Battle of Huashan, the Great Lei Gate has lost troops one after another, and this time the Great Thunderbolt Hall in Jiangnan has been purged, and there are not many masters of the Lei family who can use it.

The fifty elites of the Lei family behind him are almost all the forces that the Lei family can mobilize now, and the original plan was to strike a fatal blow to the Tang Sect in Shuzhong.

If you fight to the death with the people of the Providence Building here, not to mention that it will become a mortal enemy with the Providence Tower, it will be greatly detrimental to the future development, even if you can rush over tonight, I am afraid that these fifty elites will lose most of them.

Even if tonight's plan succeeds, tomorrow's revival of the Great Thunder Gate will be greatly weakened, and this is not the best policy for the Great Thunder Gate and the Lei family.

What should I do?

Lei Jiutian fell into a deep dilemma.

At this time, he couldn't help but start thinking about his cousin Lei Potian, if only he were here!

But where is he now?
