Wang Meng jumped off the horse's back, led the horse to Bai Ling, and after just a few steps, he looked Bai Ling up and down again.

The young man in front of him was thin, although he had shown some agility when he was in Tunlongpi before, but this kind of kung fu was obviously not suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

"What about you," Wang Meng didn't answer Bai Ling's question, and looked at the nearby deserted street, "Have you had lunch?" ”

"Not yet, but with me." Bai Ling patted the dry food he was carrying around his waist, "Lord Adjutant General, is this something to do with me?" ”

Wang Meng glanced at Bai Ling, "Let's go?" ”

Bai Ling was a little surprised, but nodded anyway and made a gesture of please.

The two led their horses and walked down the street at both ends.

"Since General Chang said that you are the old man of the two Doctor Lin, I think you also know the identities of the two of them in the past." Wang Meng looked ahead and asked calmly.

"Yes."

"Where is Brother Wei from?"

"It's good for Vice General Wang to call me Songqing," Bai Ling smiled, "I'm from Pingjing." ”

“…… I knew it. Wang Meng showed a little smile on his face, "You must be the descendant of the Jingzhou Wei family who entered Beijing with the Empress Dowager." ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the prominent position of the surname "Wei" in the north. Before the Great Zhou Dynasty unified the north and the south, Jing and Fu Erzhou were the territory of the Wei family - this was what Huang Chongde told her about when he was in Pingjing in the past.

Bai Ling smiled deeply, shook his head and said, "Vice General Wang misunderstood, I'...... It is with my master's surname, and the family teacher's surname is Wei, because the Empress Dowager gave the family name, just in terms of blood, I have nothing to do with Jingzhou Wei. ”

Although he did not say the truth, every sentence was true, not a lie.

However, what Bai Ling didn't expect was that instead of being disappointed, Wang Meng laughed when he heard this, "In this way, you really have the inheritance of the Webster lineage." ”

“？” Bai Ling stopped, "Did the adjutant general misunderstand something......

Wang Meng waved his hand, with an expression of "Needless to say, I understand" written on his face, and then sighed, "No wonder General Chang instructed me to send you to Jingzhou properly, I was still worried about the situation over there before, it seems that the general has already made arrangements, where do I need to worry about anything, hahaha." ”

Bai Ling frowned, although she didn't know what kind of deduction Wang Meng had made without authorization, but she didn't plan to delve into it for the time being.

If she can keep going north in this man's outfit all the way, many things will be easy to solve, so why should she defend anything.

"But I don't know anything, please ......," Wang Meng pondered for a moment, "...... Mr. Wei gave advice. ”

Bai Ling almost stumbled, only to feel that the title in Wang Meng's mouth became more and more outrageous, she hurriedly frowned, and said solemnly, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the deputy general, the younger generation can't afford the name of 'sir', just call me Songqing......"

Wang Meng stroked a handful of goat's whiskers and said with a smile, "Talent is not old." Yesterday, you already knew the situation in Stone Monkey Town, why did you use the excuse that it was too troublesome to talk about? With Songqing's eloquence, it shouldn't be difficult to explain the cause and effect clearly in a few words, right? ”

Bai Ling whispered "um......", as if he was thinking about how to answer this question, Wang Meng said again, "Ziping has already told me about yesterday's situation, outside Stone Monkey Town, didn't Song Qing dissect the matter in a few words, why didn't he refuse to say it when he was in the dense forest, did he not believe that Ben would be as good as a stream?" ”

Bai Ling scratched his head, "It's not ......"

"What's the reason for that?"

Bai Ling raised his forehead and chuckled, "...... Then I won't hide it from adults, I do have some selfishness. ”

The two continued on their way.

"Yesterday when you asked the mountain man to wait, I went over and asked about the situation in the town, and he told me that the golden men had red hair...... "Bai Ling said softly.

Wang Meng suddenly understood, "You are curious about the origin of the deer hunters. ”

"Exactly." Bai Ling nodded, "I have inquired a few times on the way from Tunlongpi to Zhuozhou before...... About the deer hunters, but not much to gain. ”

Wang Meng smiled dumbly, "Why don't you come and ask me directly?" ”

“…… That's too abrupt. Bai Ling shook his head, "Besides, I was just curious, and I was afraid of causing any misunderstanding by asking so deliberately." ”

"And what did you hear last night?"

Bai Ling looked at Wang Meng, "...... Nothing directly related. I just heard Brother Ziping tell some old news about the Hesta Ministry, and he said that the characteristics of red hair are rare even among the Jin. Most of the golden men were brown or blonde, with blue or green eyes, but only one of the Hesta tribes had red hair and brown eyes, so he knew that they were from the new Hesta tribe when he saw the grooms, and when he saw the sweaty horses, he was even more certain. ”

"Come to think of it, the deer hunters must also be from the Hesta Ministry." Bai Ling asked tentatively, "But yesterday I heard from you that this tribe was slaughtered by Arslan?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you now." Wang Meng smiled, "Yes, the deer hunters are indeed the survivors of the old tribe of Hesta. ”

"That's why it's used by us?"

"It's a bit complicated to say." Wang Meng thought for a moment, "In the past, when you heard people talking about Arslan in the north in Pingjing, you were actually talking about two tribes - both Arslan himself and Hesta, these two tribes were independent a long, long time ago, and they were also the two most powerful tribes among the Jin people, so most of the time, the Jin people fought against each other. Arslan is blonde, and Hesta is red-haired, and it's easy to recognize. ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, "That's not a feud?" How did they become one? ”

"This is very mysterious," Wang Meng said softly, "the merger of the two tribes is still a matter of the Sheng Yuan period, and it is rumored that the then leader of Arslan and the leader of Hesta were summoned by the Immortal Heaven in a dream on the same night, and they came to a water area together, and a great witch conveyed an oracle to them, asking Arslan and Hesta to merge into a new clan, the new clan is named 'Arslan', and the totem is taken from Hesta's sweat and blood horse. ”

Bai Ling finally understood a little, "No wonder I never heard of Hesta's name when I heard Arslan dominate the seven northern realms before......"

"It's not surprising that the name 'Hesta' was forgotten forty-five years before Jianxi." Wang Meng said softly, "It wasn't until a few years ago that the leader of Arslan, who is now the suzerain of the Jin Kingdom, suddenly said that the two tribes would be re-divided, and the red-haired Hesta would no longer enjoy the preferential treatment as a core tribe, but would be driven to the snowfields further east.

"The dispute intensified, and it ended with the massacre of Hesta." Wang Meng replied, "In the past, the totem of the old Hesta tribe was a sweat and blood horse, and the totem of the old Arslan was the snow reindeer. ”
