Lei Jiutian stood in place in a daze, looking at the man who jumped out of the military flag.

This person has a purple face, a refined short beard, thick eyebrows and sideburns, and a military uniform that looks majestic on a horse.

Longping Hou Zhang?

Could it be that this person is Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping?

Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, was the emperor's favorite minister, and long before the Battle of Jingjing, Zhang Xin was assigned by Emperor Jianwen to monitor Zhu Di, the then king of Yan, in Beiping City.

Later, Emperor Jianwen secretly ordered Zhang Xin to capture Zhu Di for questioning, but Zhang Xin resolutely took refuge in Zhu Di and revealed Emperor Jianwen's plan and inventory, which made Zhu Di raise troops in advance and launched the Battle of Jingjing.

After ascending the throne, Zhu Di was even more fond of Zhang Xin, and continued to increase his official ranks, and I heard that Zhang Xin was recently appointed to inspect the vassal kings in various places and pacify the vassal kings on behalf of the holy driver, which is a great honor.

Thinking about such a character, how could he suddenly lead the troops here?

Lei Jiutian was secretly muttering in his heart, not daring to move.

The fifty under him, oh, no, there were only forty-nine elites of the Lei family left, and they were also looking around with some trepidation, and no one dared to move.

The neat military formation in front of them, the glittering arrows of the bows and arrows in the hands of those sergeants, had already been aimed at them.

Even if they are all martial arts masters with unique skills and one enemy and ten, they will never be the opponents of this well-trained and well-groomed army before this murderous military formation.

If they really fight, these elites are afraid that they will be a drop in the bucket and give their lives in vain.

What's more, behind them, there are still those people from the Providence Building who Qian Peiguang is carrying!

Lei Jiutian, who was attacked on his back and abdomen, seemed to be in a desperate situation and could not do anything.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his beating heart, and asked in a loud voice: "Dare to ask, is it Marquis Longping Zhang Xin Marquis Zhang?"

I don't know why, but there was a tremor in his voice.

The man on the horse glanced at him and replied in a deep voice, "It is Benhou." Who are you?"

Lei Jiutian's heart was shocked, it was really him!

His attitude became more and more respectful and said: "In the next introduction of the grass people in the rivers and lakes, the cheap name is not enough to worry about, and I dare not listen to the dirty marquis." ”

Marquis of Longping Zhang Xin reined in the reins of his horse and frowned: "In the middle of the night, so many of you gathered here, armed with blades, could it be that you want to fight in private?"

His voice was stern, and there was a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

Lei Jiutian hurriedly saluted Zhang Xin and replied, "Wang Fa Zhaozhao, how dare the grass people fight in private. Just because tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Reunion Festival, so I met with the children of the family to come to the market to watch the lanterns, but tonight every household is closed, and when I walked here, I happened to meet Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Xin glanced at this group of Lei family elites, and snorted coldly: "Watching the lanterns, you guys are in such a big battle! I'm afraid that all the children in your family are here, right?"

Lei Jiutian bowed and responded, "Yes." ”

Zhang Xin's words reminded Lei Jiutian and made him feel a pang in his heart.

Originally, Lei Jiutian was defeated by Qian Peiguang, and he was quite unwilling.

You must know that this is the first time that the head hall master Lei Potian has given him such an important task, and almost all the elites of the Lei family are standing behind him, if he retreats, how will he have face in front of these elites in the future?

How will he explain to Lei Potian?

The first important errand was messed up, and in the future, he will be in the Great Thunder Gate for nine days, how will he deal with himself in the Lei family? Will he still have a bright future?

So he was unwilling, and even he wanted to rely on the strength of these Lei family elites behind him to break through without the price.

He didn't believe that with these elites of the Lei family, they would not be able to defeat the rabble temporarily summoned by these Heavenly Providence Towers in front of him.

But the situation is different now.

Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, appeared with these sergeants under his command, and he ignored Qian Peiguang and the rabble with all kinds of weapons

ignored it, but forced himself again and again, and it was clear that they were a gang.

The current situation is that one side is suffering from the enemy, and once they fight hard, they are afraid that these elites of the Lei family will be wiped out and the whole army will be wiped out.

These are almost all the forces that the Lei family can concentrate now, if they are lost, how will the Lei family gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?

Not to mention reinvigorating the Great Thunder Gate and competing with the Tang Gate in Shuzhong.

In that case, he Lei Jiutian would become the eternal sinner of the Lei family.

Therefore, he must not fight hard, but can only be soft.

Zhang Xin stood tall on the horse, looking down at Lei Jiutian in front of him, and seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude.

He waved his hand and said, "Since the market is closed tonight, there is nothing to see." If you want to enjoy the lanterns, let's come back tomorrow for the reunion festival!"

With a wave of his hand, the neat formation suddenly parted to both sides, making way for a path.

Lei Jiutian couldn't help but be stunned, is this to let go of himself and these Lei family elites?

With the current situation, it is not difficult to completely destroy these Lei family elites, but the other party suddenly released a way out, which made him feel a little hesitant.

Zhang Xin frowned, and asked sharply, "What? Don't you want to leave?"

Before his words fell, the sergeants under his command raised their bows and arrows again neatly and aimed at them, and the uniform "whoosh" sounded with an incomparably murderous aura!

Lei Jiutian sighed secretly, saluted a little helplessly, and replied: "How dare the grass people? ”

He shook his head, and the elites of the Lei family under him all lowered their heads, lining up to retreat from the path they had given way to the military formation.

Lei Jiutian was about to take a step, but Zhang Xin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Stop!"

His whole body trembled, could it be that Zhang Xin was going to change his mind?

Looking up, he saw Zhang Xinxin pointing at the corpse of the Lei family disciple on the ground with the horsewhip in his hand and shouting, "Do you have any grievances about his death?"

Lei Jiutian replied solemnly: "It's the grass people and others who don't know how to advance or retreat, blocking the road of Hou Ye's brigade, it's really a crime that deserves death, a little cheap, how dare you be dissatisfied with Hou Ye? ”

I don't know why, there was a slight tremor in his voice again, which made Lei Jiutian's heart can't help but feel a sense of shame.

Zhang Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, you can take his body away too!"

Lei Jiutian responded: "Yes!"

So a group of Lei family elites lifted the body of the companion and walked from the army formation with their heads down, retreating towards the end of the dark street.

The last one was Lei Jiutian, he looked up at Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, who refused to stand majestically, sighed in his heart, lowered his head and walked quickly.

Knowing that everyone in the Lei family had disappeared from view, Zhang Xin turned his horse's head and came to Qian Peiguang.

He turned over and dismounted, nodded to Qian Peiguang and said, "Manager Qian, this time thanks to your timely report!"

Qian Peiguang said deeply: "Hou Ye praised it falsely, fortunately, Hou Ye happened to be near Hangzhou City, so Qian was able to send someone to deliver a letter in time and ask Hou Ye to come and resolve this crisis." ”

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that your Heavenly Providence Building has a lot of power all over the world, how can others know Ben Hou's itinerary? ”

"As soon as I received the letter from the person you sent, Ben Hou immediately rushed over with these hundreds of bodyguards in the starry night, and finally did not delay a step and made more innocent killings. ”

Qian Peiguang replied with a smile: "It is thanks to the timely arrival of the Hou Ye that the lives of my brothers in the Heavenly Providence Building can be saved, and Qian is really grateful." It's just ......"

At this, he paused.

Zhang Xin looked at him: "It's just what?"

Qian Peiguang asked cautiously: "It's just that there is below."

I don't know what happened, just now it was obviously an excellent time to eradicate the power of the Lei family, why did Marquis Zhang want to let them live, leaving hidden dangers for the future?"

Zhang Xin looked at Qian Peiguang and smiled, but did not answer.

What do you know!

Thinking about Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, since he was patrolling the feudal domains with the holy will and visiting the situation of a vassal king, could it really be so coincidental that he would appear near Hangzhou City at this time?

Moreover, the distress letter sent by Qian Peiguang was vague, only saying that Ye Feng was in trouble and needed to be rescued, so he immediately didn't ask anything, and immediately rushed over with his guards Starry Night.

He didn't know Ye Feng and didn't have any friendship, why did he care so much about Ye Feng's affairs?

Maybe all this is not just his own meaning, but the person behind him, Emperor Zhu Di!

Zhu Di has always favored Zhang Xin, and asked him to go out of Beijing to inspect the vassals, which in itself is because Zhang Xin is smart enough to understand the emperor's intentions.

Of course, he also knew how much the emperor attached importance to this Ye Feng, although he didn't fully know the reason for the stab, as long as he understood the importance of Ye Feng, it was enough.

The reason why his itinerary appeared here at this time may also be because Ye Feng is here.

He naturally knew that just now was definitely an excellent time to eradicate the power of the Lei family in one fell swoop, but the crux of the question was, did the emperor want to eradicate the Lei family?

In the eyes of the emperor, the most important thing is only Ye Feng's safety, as for eradicating the Lei family, he is actually not interested.

In his heart, perhaps the existence of the Lei family can contain and balance the Tang Sect in Shuzhong and avoid the emergence of a situation in which one family dominates the rivers and lakes, and for the imperial court, it definitely does not want such a situation to appear.

So Zhang Xin can only let go of these people from the Lei family, as long as this force of the Lei family still exists, the Tang Sect in Shuzhong will not be able to dominate the rivers and lakes, they will continue to fight and consume, and the emperor will continue to rest assured about the rivers and lakes.

But none of his reasons and thoughts could be said to Qian Peiguang, so he could only laugh and not answer.

Of course, Qian Peiguang is also a smart person, looking at Zhang Xin's expression, he naturally understands that he must have a reason that he can't explain, so he won't continue to ask.

Zhang Xin looked left and right for a moment, and asked, "Where is Ye Gongzi?"

Qian Peiguang replied: "Ye Gongzi just asked me to try to block the Lei family who attacked the courtyard of the Jiangnan Branch of Tangmen tonight, and he himself has already slipped in quietly at this moment, and it is said that he wants to find out the traitors in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong tonight." ”

Zhang Xin's face was shocked: "Oh, did he go alone, will there be any danger?"

Qian Peiguang pondered for a moment and said: "Ye Gongzi's wit is really unparalleled in the world, he must have a perfect strategy, not to mention, in my opinion, there is a master by his side to protect him." ”

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "Manager Qian himself is a top martial arts master, and his vision is naturally not bad, since Manager Qian said that this person is a master, he must be a truly outstanding master, and he must be able to protect the safety of Ye Gongzi." ”

Qian Peiguang smiled a little mysteriously and said, "In addition to this master, I also know that there is a secret force that is also helping Ye Gongzi, and the strength of this power is truly not to be underestimated." ”

Zhang Xin looked at Qian Peiguang's pretending to be mysterious, but he refused to say it clearly, so he couldn't help but snort secretly, but he was a little relieved.

He let out a long breath and said, "In this way, Ye Gongzi's safety should be guaranteed. ”

Qian Peiguang still smiled: "This is natural, Ye Gongzi has always been blessed with a great fate, and this time he has already planned it well, so it is naturally foolproof." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled easily.

However, none of them knew that what Ye Feng was facing now was, in addition to the traitors of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, there was also a resurrected Lei Potian!

If they knew, it wouldn't have been so easy.
