Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Chapter 1552 The Final Test

"General, do you know what we are going to do after sunrise?"

After the soldiers retreated, the prime minister did not go to rest, but found Lei Tong.

Now, Lei Tong has recovered a lot from his injuries under careful care. Although he is not as good as before, he can move freely. Given time, he will recover.

Looking at Lei Tong, whose face was rosy at this time, the Prime Minister also felt relieved.

He didn't like Lei Tong, but he knew better than anyone that as long as Lei Tong truly submitted to him, he would truly become a person respected by the world.

Because this is simply a silent honor bureau.

Therefore, caring and showing concern for Lei Tong has long become the prime minister's normal behavior towards him.

Looking at the prime minister in front of him, Lei Tong's heart moved slightly, but then a smile appeared on his face. It must be said that the prime minister is a good actor. If it were someone else, they might have already willingly stood on the prime minister's side.

But faced with the big promises made by the prime minister and the endless temptations from the court, Lei Tong's heart had already been as hard as a rock.

He knew better than anyone that he would never betray Zhou Zheng in this life.

Besides, Lei Tong was very smart. He had already realized that although the prime minister seemed to be very caring towards him and seemed to trust him very much, every time he saw him, he would ambushed powerful masters outside the door.

As long as he released any dangerous aura, as long as he behaved in the slightest way, those strong men would rush over and kill him.

How could such a little trick be hidden from Lei Tong's perception?

It was just acting, so Lei Tong naturally wouldn't worry too much.

Otherwise, with Lei Tong's temperament, if there was no strong man lying in ambush outside the door, he would have taken action directly and killed the prime minister.

If he is killed, the morale of the 300,000-strong army will inevitably be shaken, and they will be leaderless. This decisive battle will definitely be beneficial to Zhou Zheng.

But even if he couldn't kill the prime minister, Lei Tong wasn't worried, because he had never doubted Zhou Zheng.

In the eyes of the imperial court, this battle might be a sure win, but in Lei Tong's eyes, victory can only belong to Zhou Zheng.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister has any plans!?"

Suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Lei Tong bowed slightly to the prime minister.

After all, he is now the prime minister's guest of honor, so there is no need to perform grand ceremony.

However, Lei Tong still pretended not to know, because he understood that the prime minister came to see him late at night not just to show concern for him.

In this case, the Prime Minister will definitely take the initiative to speak.

"When dawn comes, it will be the time for the decisive battle!"

The low words made Lei Tong's heart tremble slightly, and then his pupils dilated and his face showed a slight fluctuation.

He naturally knew that there would be a life-and-death battle between the two sides, but he did not expect that this battle would come so suddenly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there were no signs at all.

Although Lei Tong's shocked expression was very subtle, it still did not escape the Prime Minister's observation. But he was not angry, but rather a little relieved, which showed that Lei Tong was indeed quite honest and did not try to spy on military intelligence.

This also indirectly made the prime minister believe that Lei Tong had truly surrendered.

Besides, everyone in the world knows that Lei Tong has abandoned Zhou Zheng and is on his side. Faced with such words, it is almost impossible for Lei Tong to return to Zhou Zheng even if he wants to.

Since ancient times, which emperor was not subject to endless speculation?

In the prime minister's view, Zhou Zheng is no exception to the emperor.

This news must have already reached Zhou Zheng's ears. If he really meets Lei Tong again, Zhou Zheng might not even give Lei Tong a chance to explain.

Of course, in the eyes of the prime minister, there seemed to be no meaning or necessity for Lei Tong to explain.

After all, no one can explain the current situation.

"I came here this time just to ask for the general's advice."

The prime minister still had a smile on his face, his behavior was quite gentle, and his words were full of respect for Lei Tong.

There are really not many people in the world who can make the prime minister behave like this.

Just for this reason, Thunder Copper is already an exception.

"The Prime Minister has spoken. The Prime Minister has made every possible plan. He is a modern military genius."

"I am just a surrendered general, so I am not qualified to make any suggestions."

With a bitter smile, there was a hint of trance in Lei Tong's eyes. He knew better than anyone that what he had just said was just a test from the Prime Minister.

But when it comes to acting, Lei Tong is just as good as Zhou Zheng, having been with him for so long.

At least, if a person who looks honest and loyal on the outside has some acting skills, it will not be easy for others to find flaws in him.

Sure enough, the change in Lei Tong's expression and the loneliness that came from his bones made people feel a little distressed.

In this way, in the eyes of the prime minister, everything seems quite reasonable.

"General, are you willing to go with me to watch the battle this time!?"

"If possible, I am willing to give you 100,000 men, let you lead the army, and personally razed the city to the ground."

"You can completely resolve your knot yourself, or you can make great achievements and become the best general in the world!"

When he said this, a gleam of light flashed in the prime minister's eyes, and even his voice showed a hint of excitement.

When he tried to persuade Lei Tong to surrender, he said that Lei Tong's biggest regret was that he had not realized his own value.

Now, he is willing to send his army to help, and even willing to give up this great credit. It can be said that he is taking great care of Lei Tong.

Besides, what an honor it is to be the best general in the world! ?

Not to mention Lei Tong, it can be said that any general anywhere is eager to achieve great things.

And this time, the decisive battle with Zhou Zheng, the killing of the Zhenbei Army and the wiping out of the rebels was no longer an ordinary achievement, but a great merit.

It is a merit that is enough to attract countless people.

The prime minister looked sincere, and there was even a hint of excitement and desire in his words. It seemed as if he was thinking about Lei Tong from the bottom of his heart.

Such words really made Lei Tong's heart move.

He raised his eyebrows and his breathing became much faster. Although he didn't say anything, his expression kept changing.

These postures are completely under the control of the Prime Minister.

But this time the prime minister did not rush him. He knew that Lei Tong would take time. After all, this kind of thing was not an ordinary trivial matter.

But more importantly, the Prime Minister wanted to know what choice Lei Tong would make.

The chances of becoming famous in one battle are always extremely rare.

Now, at dawn, at the time of the decisive battle, it is the perfect opportunity to become truly famous throughout the world. Once missed, it will be gone forever.

With such temptation, he also wanted to know what choices and decisions Lei Tong would make.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness and opportunity..."

Finally, Lei Tong spoke.

His voice was slow, even a little hoarse.

Seeing Lei Tong open his mouth, the Prime Minister became a little more nervous, and even a faint, imperceptible fluctuation appeared in the deepest part of his pupils.

So, what is Thunder Copper's choice! ?

"I'm not going to go this time."

Whoohoo!

As if he had made a huge psychological struggle, or as if he had been struggling innerly for a long time, Lei Tong just said this.

This choice surprised the prime minister. He widened his eyes and stared at Lei Tong, obviously waiting for Lei Tong's explanation.

“Some people are better off not seeing each other.”

"Even though we are in different camps, if we really have to face each other, we will still worry that our hearts are not firm anymore."

"Besides, if I lead an army of 100,000, it will not be conducive to the unity of the court, and may even attract criticism from many generals."

"In that case, it's better not to go."

Lei Tong smiled bitterly. His explanation was not loud, but it was a true explanation.

These words made the Prime Minister's heart move slightly, and he also felt a little relieved.

Of course Lei Tong could choose not to go, because this was the condition for Lei Tong's surrender, which was not to have direct contact with Zhou Zheng and others.

The most important thing is that if Lei Tong chooses to go this time, then the prime minister will truly doubt Lei Tong.

After all, he didn't believe that someone who had followed Zhou Zheng for so long would be so decisive in confronting him after his betrayal.

If it really exists, there are only two possibilities. One is that Lei Tong is cruel and ruthless. Such a person must not be kept!

The other possibility is that Lei Tong pretends to surrender and temporarily brings 100,000 people to stand on Zhou Zheng's side. Such a person must not be kept!

In short, no matter which possibility it is, the Prime Minister will not let Lei Tong survive.

So, this time, it seemed like a discussion, but in fact it was the last test.

It even determines whether Lei Tong can survive.

Fortunately, Lei Tong's choice made the prime minister feel a little relieved.

Because this is the answer he wants to hear most.

At the same time, this is also the only possibility for the Prime Minister to let Lei Tong survive.

"In that case, I will not force you, General."

"What does the General want to do then!?"

The Prime Minister rolled his eyes and continued to ask questions.

"With my disabled body, I really can't make much contribution."

"Although he is not good at fighting, he is more than capable of defending the country."

"If the Prime Minister trusts me, I am willing to stay at the base camp and wait for good news from the court."

Lei Tong thought for a while and asked for a job.
