Chapter 1518 Prime Minister Lei’s Death


    General Min?


    The officials racked their brain to recall who this person was before they finally remembered that he was a silent general at the north area. Even though he was not so famous, but his winning rate was so high that he was quickly promoted.


    However, he didn''t usually participate in big war, so many people didn''t know his name. He was usually behind Heavenly General Lu, staying at the north border of Zhang Xu Kingdom and helped from behind.


    But some people still remembered him.


    Because he had killed several famous generals andmanders from Fan Yi Kingdom and hated by that kingdom so much.


    His prowess was there for them to see.


    The officials looked at each other and kowtowed to the ground.


    "Your Majesty is wise!"


    …


    <Long distance away, Prime Minister Lei''s location at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>


    Looking at the order in his hand, Prime Minister Lei felt his heart was cold. He had been trying his best here at the frontline, but it didn''t mean that he was oblivious to the movement at the Capital City. There were still his people who would send some news from time to time.


    But the number of people who still sided with him and willingly share the news to him had been greatly reduced.


    Prime Minister Lei knew that staying away from the court had the negative effect for him.


    It has been around a year.


    And by now, his influence had been severely affected.


    He knew that he was done for.


    "Prime Minister Lei, what is that?" General Zhang asked. After being trained heavily by Prime Minister Lei, he had been the one who held the highest power after Prime Minister Lei.


    "Order for me to return." Prime Minister Lei looked at General Zhang. "General Min wille here to rece my position. You will listen to himter."


    General Zhang''s face changed when he heard that. "No! I don''t want to! Why do I have to listen to another general''s order?"


    "This is the order from above. You''re a soldier, so you should know that you have to follow the order from your superior." Prime Minister Lei looked at the note in his hand and smiled bitterly. "Don''t follow me and fight hard. As long as you canst long enough, Fei Yang Kingdom wouldn''t win this war."


    He knew very well that because there were still several big kingdoms, Fei Yang Kingdom couldn''t fully focus on them.


    It was because of this that he proposed dying and defense method.


    Slowly prolonging the time so that Fei Yang Kingdom couldn''tst for a long time.


    But in the end, this kind of long prolonged battle was also harsh on them. The famine had caused their citizens to be unable to eat for full, making many people dying on the road because of theck of food.


    And the food that was left?


    They were sent to the frontline for the soldiers. No matter what, the kingdom couldn''t mistreat these soldiers or they would risk not being able to protect themselves.


    In this state of wars, not having strong enough soldiers just meant that they were sending themselves to their death.


    But the toll from the wars had umted.


    And Zhang Xu Kingdom was hanging by a thread.


    If they could hold on until Fei Yang Kingdom was pressed by Fan Yi Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, they will win.


    But if they couldn''t?


    Zhang Xu Kingdom will cease to exist.


    "That''s…"


    "Protect Zhang Xu Kingdom." Prime Minister Lei stood up and walked out.


    General Zhang looked at the disappearing back of Prime Minister Lei and knew that this will be thest time he saw Prime Minister Lei.


    He beat the ground in front of him, but he couldn''t do anything.


    Prime Minister Lei could run away to save his life.


    After all, they were far away from the Capital City.


    But he understood from Prime Minister Lei''s decision today that he will definitely head to Zhang Xu Kingdom''s Capital City to face the Emperor.


    And the final result…


    Wouldn''t be good.


    The news spread but Fei Yang Kingdom didn''t make a move to take advantage of Prime Minister Lei''s disappearance. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for General Min toe over.


    But during the peaceful short journey to the Capital City, Prime Minister Lei was not as calm as he was on the surface.


    He could still remember the day he came to Zhang Xu Kingdom.


    He was a traveler, walking around with his ambition and belief that he will make his name and chose the right person to be the Emperor.


    When he saw the third prince of Zhang Xu Kingdom, he believed that he had met the right person.


    The person who will unite the entirend and will end the wars that hadsted for many years.


    But now he knew that he was wrong.


    Looking at the majestic Emperor in front of him, Prime Minister Lei kowtowed to the ground, not listening to the words of the youth in front of him. He had chosen and served the wrong person, hadn''t he?


    Emperor Zhang Hou Tian didn''t have this fate.


    Emperor Zhang Hou Tian looked at Prime Minister Lei in front of him and finally waved his hand, ordering execution to this loyal prime minister.


    Under the guide of many officials, he kept on listening to the loss of several generals and the rebellions that was tied to him.


    He no longer believed Prime Minister Lei.


    In his eyes, Prime Minister Lei was no longer the person who helped him to get the throne but someone who also wished to take the throne and thus caused a lot of chaos.


    In the end, Prime Minister Lei was sentenced to death.


    Prime Minister Lei listened to the order and closed his eyes.


    In this war, he had finally lost.


    Lost because of his wrong decision in the first ce.
