C127 Thunder Prefecture

Zhang Jingxuan knew very well the number of soldiers in the city, and the combat strength of these soldiers was worrying. It was alright to put on a show, but he might be able to take advantage of them if he went to the battlefield and fought with the wind. If he was a little bit nervous, he was afraid that the competition would start to see who could run faster.

Therefore, he only brought 200 soldiers, which was only slightly more than the number of soldiers in the city. However, after Zhang Jingxuan saw the combat strength of the Breeze Stronghold's soldiers, he knew that he could totally take down this county without any bloodshed.

Sure enough, the close combat at the city gate did not even take the time to drink a cup of tea. Not even a few drops of blood had been shed, and the situation had already been settled.

Zhang Jingxuan left 50 soldiers behind to occupy the city gate. When the time came, they could attack and defend, so that they would not have their escape route taken by others. After that, he would hand 100 soldiers over to Zhu Ziming and let him take over county yamun. He would try his best not to disturb the civilians.

The cavalry rode on the bluestone road of the county town. At the same time, the soldier who shouted the order shouted, "Breeze Stronghold has come to do some work. Those who are not in the mood to do anything should avoid it. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."

After a few shouts, the streets were empty. Only a few rotten fruits and a few shoes were left on the ground.

Zhang Jingxuan himself brought fifty soldiers with him and Lee Huanqing and went straight to Lei family. The most important thing of this operation was Lei family, and they could not afford any mishaps.

When they arrived at the alley of the Lei family, their imposing manner had changed. The street was unusually clean and tidy, and it was more than twice as wide as the other alleys. It could accommodate eight horses running at the same time. The pair of giant stone lions at the entrance of the mansion were made of fine white marble. They looked lively and bright.

The entire mansion took up a lot of space. In the middle of the entrance, there was a huge plaque with the words "Thunder Human Estate" written on it. It was full of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and it looked like a myriad of dragons and phoenixes were dancing in the wind. The plaque was special. Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but take a closer look at it. The signature was "Lei Bangding." Didn't a mansion usually have two words written on it? Why did he have to add the word "person" in the middle?

The main door of the Thunder Prefecture opened. Zhang Jingxuan and his men slowed down their speed and approached. Just as they were thinking of sending someone to inform them, they saw the Second Young Master of the Lei family, Lei Hantian, bringing a six or seven year old child to greet them.

At this moment, Lei Hantian had already changed into a plain white robe. It made him look more and more graceful and extraordinary. The child beside him also had red lips and white teeth. His appearance was also extraordinary at such a young age. It seemed that he didn't know what had happened, but he vaguely felt something. His expression was slightly nervous.

Lei Hantian, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression. He did not feel nervous at all about Zhang Jingxuan's uninvited arrival.

When Zhang Jingxuan saw this, he was secretly on guard. After all, the people of Lei family couldn't be underestimated. The two elders of Lei family and Lei Feng'er were very difficult to deal with. He, Sun Shanglou, and many of the heroic figures of Breeze Stronghold had suffered a great loss by accident. Although this Lei Hantian didn't seem to be the same as them, he still had to be careful. He didn't want to fail miserably in an easy task.

He cupped his hands and revealed a trace of sorrow. "Brother Jingxuan, please come in. It's rude of you not to welcome us. Hantian and his younger brother, Yuan Jiang, greeted him respectfully. He had heard that Brother Jingxuan had defeated Mi Shuhuang in Green Peak Mountain, and his name had shaken the whole world. This was something worth celebrating. Jia Weng was waiting for him, and he wanted to greet him in person. Please!"

When Zhang Jingxuan heard Lei Hantian's words, he was slightly puzzled." Who is this old man? Why have I never heard of him? Why does he want to see me? Why doesn't it sound like something good has happened? "

As he spoke, he was also secretly surprised. It seemed like the Lei family's intelligence work was really well done. He rode his horse and rushed over, but it was still not faster than Lei Hantian's report. However, there was a little bit of pride in his heart.

Lei Hantian pointed at the signboard above his head and said with a solemn expression, "My old man is this old ancestor. He is also my grandfather. He is waiting for you. You are more like what he thinks. We're a little early." Zhang Jingxuan nodded and seemed to be lost in thought.

Lee Huanqing shook her head slightly and wanted to tell Zhang Jingxuan not to agree. She did not expect that Zhang Jingxuan did not seem to see it at all and suddenly smiled. She nodded and said with a smile, "All of you wait for me here. The elders of Lei family had invited him, so how could the younger generation dare to disobey? Brother Lei, please lead the way. This must be the little brother of the Lei family, how are you? "

He ignored Lee Huanqing. Instead, he greeted the little brother of the Lei family, Lei Yuanjiang, with a relaxed expression on his face. When the little boy, Lei Yuanjiang, saw the friendliness on the man's face, the nervousness on his face eased up a lot.

Lee Huanqing could not help but frown and stamp her feet, but Zhang Jingxuan seemed to treat her like an invisible person. Following behind Lei Hantian who turned around and entered, they walked towards the mansion of Lei family. Perhaps it was because he was skilled and bold, or perhaps it was because a young man didn't know that people had ulterior motives.

Lee Huanqing had no choice but to follow behind him like a little follower. The rest of the people told them to wait outside the door and sent someone to bring a message to Zhu Ziming.

They went around a magnificent wall and passed through a wide well. When they entered the mansion, Zhang Jingxuan was surprised to find that the Lei family was not as magnificent as he had imagined. Instead, it was built and decorated in a simple and elegant manner. It was not ordinary at all. Most of the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall were the works of everyone, and some of them even Zhang Jingxuan couldn't tell where they came from.

However, after passing through two courtyards, he discovered some disharmonious scenes.

The roof of an exquisite flower pavilion was smashed open, and the wall of a house was torn apart, revealing a ghastly hole. The originally beautiful flowerbed was crushed into half. Looking at the traces, these should be the things that had just happened. However, Lei Hantian and Lei Yuanjiang did not speak along the way. Zhang Jingxuan followed behind and did not speak either.

After passing through a few long corridors, Lee Huanqing felt that she had completely lost her way. She pulled Zhang Jingxuan's shirt twice behind her and wanted to remind him not to continue following Lei Hantian and his brother. But Zhang Jingxuan ignored him. Lee Huanqing was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks. She might as well do whatever she wanted. She just followed behind him like this. In any case, she had already explored the dragon's den and tiger's den.

If it wasn't for Zhang Jingxuan quietly waving his hands behind his back at her to indicate that there was nothing wrong, she would even suspect that Zhang Jingxuan had been drugged and controlled. That was why he obediently followed her into the depths of the Lei family without any doubt.

Finally, a few people stopped in front of a small house. The dense greenery made this small courtyard appear simple and solemn. Upon closer inspection, this small courtyard looked more like an ancestral hall.

Lei Hantian stood respectfully outside the door and said softly, "Grandfather, Zhang Jingxuan, Chief Zhang has arrived."

A clear and melodious voice was heard, "Since you have arrived, please come in."

From the voice, one could not tell the age of the speaker. Lei Hantian led the way and the four of them entered one after another. There was really a small ancestral hall in the courtyard, and an elder was sitting in it.
