Hearing this, Sun Chengzong was even more sure of the guess in his heart......

If Wei Zheng had bad intentions, he would definitely not bring only 500 soldiers when he knew that he had 2,000 Beijing battalions. Because he didn't dare to guarantee whether he would directly take it down in the process of meeting and forcibly seize the military and political power of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

Since Wei Zheng had no bad intentions, he dared to come over to greet him honestly with five hundred soldiers. Then Sun Chengzong was even more confident in his trip.

Under the influence of Wei Zheng's appearance, Sun Chengzong, who was in a good mood, directly led 500 cavalry to the location of Wei Zheng at the speed of a rapid march.

In Sun Chengzong's opinion, Wei Zheng gave himself such a big face and came to greet him in person. In addition, it will not be long before he becomes a cabinet minister and becomes his own superior. If you don't even do the necessary etiquette, you will not only make the civil and military officials of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces look down on you, but also offend a rising political rookie.

The cavalry of the five hundred Beijing battalions rushed to a halt when they were still fifty paces away from the guard.

Then, Sun Chengzong, who was about to take over as the governor of Shanxi, slowly walked towards Wei Zheng with less than ten subordinates and guards......

Seeing this, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a look at Zhou Shuyuan behind him to start acting. Then, with the same number of subordinates, he greeted Sun Chengzong's direction.

Just when the two began to look at each other, the distance between the two had shortened from fifty steps to the last ten.

Although the two are now of the same grade, because Wei Zheng is about to enter the cabinet. Sun Chengzong, who had a huge reputation in the imperial court. Or took the initiative to step forward and took a few steps. The attitude of the lower officials towards the upper officials. He bowed to Wei Zheng. In the end, he said to Wei Zheng with a smile......

"Master Wei is really young and promising, he is so young, he is so trusted by the emperor and becomes the elder of Daming Pavilion. Compared with Master Wei, Sun can only say that he sighs to himself, which is not as good as ......"

"Especially after learning the news that Lord Wei, you have tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in Shaanxi and eliminated Dolgon. Sun can't wait to see you right away to see if Master Wei has three heads and six arms...... Right now. Sun finally saw Lord Wei, you Ming hero. ”

Being able to see this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, Wei Zheng was still very happy in his heart.

However, after all, the other party is here to grab power, in order to avoid Sun Chengzong from doubting his attitude. Under Sun Chengzong's gaze, Wei Zheng did not show any unusual expression, at least on the surface. replied to Sun Chengzong in a flat tone.

"Then I will disappoint Master Sun, not only does this official not have three heads and six arms, but he is also an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary...... As for the emperor's trust, the official doesn't know......"

If Wei Zheng didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, the old and spicy Sun Chengzong would definitely have doubts about Wei Zheng.

Because. As long as it is a normal person, in the face of the practice of unloading and killing donkeys in the court. will be dissatisfied.

What's more, the current stable situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the strong fighting capacity of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... They were all built and formed by Wei Zheng in front of him. It would be too abnormal to see the fruits of your hard work being stolen like this, if you don't even have a little loss......

Therefore, in the face of Wei Zheng, who spoke coldly, the smile on Sun Chengzong's face not only did not weaken, but became thicker.

Explained to Wei Zheng: "Lord Wei, it is not Sun who took the initiative to take over as the governor of Shanxi, but the holy order is difficult to do, so I hope Lord Wei ......will forgive me."

Wei Zheng smiled and didn't speak. After making a gesture of invitation to Sun Chengzong, he strode in the direction where Datong City was located.

That's when the unexpected happened.

A series of crisp gunshots, like firecrackers, rang out in the wheat field to everyone's left.

Then, more than a dozen buckshot bullets with a slight tiger roar flew in the direction of Wei Zheng.

The guards guarding Wei Zheng's side, like a school of sharks smelling blood, quickly rushed to Wei Zheng's side, intending to use their bodies to block the whistling lead bullets.

With the metal iron armor on his body, the lead bullets fired from the old musket did not cause the slightest damage to these guards after hitting the iron armor. However, it was unfortunate that there was a lead bullet that passed through the gap between the guards and shot into the body of the guard.

With a muffled snort coming from Wei Zheng's mouth, Wei Zheng, who looked painful, directly covered his stomach and was constantly donating blood, and fell to the ground heavily.

"Oh no, Dashuai was shot...... Quick, protect the commander, and immediately return to the temporary ...... to meet the enemy"

After this exclamation sounded among the guards, several guards who were surrounding Wei Zheng quickly lifted Wei Zheng, who was in pain, and rushed towards the position of the five hundred cavalry.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army, which had stopped dozens of paces away, also quickly rushed to the wheat field.

Holding aloft a saber with a handle that emitted a cold glow, he rushed to the location of the sneak attacker......

In the face of the sudden changes in front of him, Sun Chengzong, who was protected by a group of guards, first thought in his heart that this was a big drama that Wei Zheng played for himself in front of him. The target that these sneak attackers want to shoot is likely to be themselves.

However, when he saw the painful expression on Wei Zheng's face, this thought was immediately thrown out of Sun Chengzong's mind. Just follow behind these guards, trying to understand the specific situation here, and then make the wisest judgment......

After the wounded Wei Zheng was protected by hundreds of tiger and leopard army iron horses, he finally stopped and began to stop the bleeding of the wound.

And at this time, Sun Chengzong finally saw the part of Wei Zheng's shot: the abdomen......

If this lead bullet had been deflected a few inches further, Wei Zheng, who was surrounded by everyone in front of him, would probably have died by now.

At this moment, more than 100 Tiger and Leopard Army iron horsemen who had just attacked had already returned from their horses, and more than a dozen bloody corpses were waiting for them. And, of course, the dozen or so old arquebuses that these people used to use.

Facing Sun Chengzong's gaze at him, the captain of the cavalry team who led the team hurriedly reported......

"Ladies and gentlemen, all these people who attacked the commander are dead...... The last general originally wanted to leave two alive to see if there was any behind-the-scenes instructions. However, what the last general didn't expect was that these people were so ruthless that they would not be taken prisoner if they died......"

"There are no captives...... Sun Chengzong's brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.

Then, he asked the captain of the cavalry team in front of him, "I don't know who they are, and whether any evidence has been found from them." Also, how did they evade your search, and even ambushed Lord Wei under his nose, and used muskets to sneak attack Lord Wei's ......" (to be continued......)
