Chapter 57: Changming

"Deer Hunter ......"

Bai Ling muttered the name softly, and finally understood.

"If you still have any questions after that, you can ask me directly." Wang Meng smiled, "If it's inconvenient to say it, I can't say it." ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but take a step back and arched his hand, "The deputy general is so blunt, I ...... I'm reallyβ€”"

Wang Meng looked at her, "Don't be so polite, although there are few people who know these things, they are not secret...... If you had asked earlier, I would have answered it a long time ago. ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment.

"It's not that ...... Is this a very confidential thing? ”

"Who told you this is a very confidential thing?"

Looking at each other, Bai Ling's mind floated with a look of smiling but not smiling, and then he suddenly realized that he had been deceived.

Wang Meng added, "This year, General Chang can be sure that Arslan will not attack before August, and it is also because of the news of the deer hunters that Arslan has won great victories in the west in recent years, and the territory has expanded too fast, so that this year, the Langxi Department and the Uwei Department secretly joined forces to raise the flag again on the banks of the Luer River where Arslan was crowned...... This year, they are taking care of themselves. ”

"I see." Bai Ling groaned slightly, "No wonder General Chang said that the main battlefield this year is in the Yan and Zhuo areas...... Is it because this side is close to Arslan's current main force? ”

"Not exactly." Wang Meng smiled.

"...... that?"

"Songqing might as well ponder and ponder again." Wang Meng smiled and sold a pass.

Wang Meng later asked Bai Ling many questions, mostly about the recent situation of the Wei family in Pingjing, but most of these questions Bai Ling could not answer, except for a few inquiries related to the Queen Mother.

Bai Ling vaguely felt that Wang Meng seemed to have something to hide, and did not understand the question.

The two walked back to the barracks, asked the firehead soldiers for a little more noon soup, and ate on the ground with dry food.

The previous question was quickly figured out.

The problem is mainly in the grain, because of the relationship between Jingzhou and Fuzhou, the crops can only be harvested for one season anyway, unlike Zhuozhou and Yanzhou, which in recent years did not dare to sow a second crop because of the invasion of gold thieves.

Therefore, this year is a rare bumper year for Zhuo and Yanzhou.

Looking at Arslan, in recent years, he has been plundering other non-gold tribes in the west to survive the winter, and now it is an eventful autumn, even if he disdains to come to burn down the stone towns and wooden houses of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that he can only come south to plunder the rations, otherwise this winter, his own main army will be sad.

In addition, because of the topography, Zhuozhou's city defense has always been the weakest among the four states, so there must be a battle between Zhuozhou and Yan.

Around the time of Shen, all the new firearms transported from Zhuozhou to Liangtouwang had been put into storage, and the army led by Wang Meng had set off again.

After leaving the city, Bai Ling was reluctant to turn back several times - because she went to talk to Wang Meng at noon, she still couldn't see Bai Yi's "clinic", which was really a pity.

Bai Ling rode his horse, followed by the two columns of cavalry, and walked forward slowly.

She was a little distracted by what she had seen at noon in the forest of steles in the east of the city.

"Eh, this is not a little gentleman!" Xue Zi'an rode a horse and faced Bai Ling head-on, and then suddenly turned around, "I finally found you, why are you following so closely?" ”

Bai Ling looked at the person in front of him seriously for a while, and recognized that this was the younger brother of the Xue family.

"What are you calling me?" Bai Ling glanced at him, "What 'little gentleman'......"

"Lord Wang told me that you are a small military advisor appointed by General Chang, and we will have to be polite to you in the future."

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€ Bai Ling scratched his forehead a few times inexplicably, "What's the ......?" ”

Looking at Bai Ling's shocked and helpless face, Xue Zi'an didn't feel strange at all, he smiled, "Okay, okay, when I didn't say it, but Mr. Xiao still went forward, Lord Wang, they were all in front, and I just found out that you were gone, and I was a little worried." ”

"Okay." Bai Ling nodded, "I was stunned for a while just now, and I didn't pay attention to my own fall." ”

"It's okay, let's go together." Xue Zi'an showed a sly smile, "Not far ahead is the tomb of Lord Wei Changming, Lord Wang said that you must be going to worship-"

"Wei what?" Bai Ling didn't hear clearly.

"Wei Changming." Xue Zi'an slightly softened his eyebrows, and his expression looked a little dissatisfied, "Mr. Xiao wants to hide his identity, so he doesn't have to pretend that he doesn't even know Master Zu?" ”

Bai Ling smiled, didn't care, just said, "After all, this is the first time I've come to such a far place in Dazhou, and many things are not very clear, this tomb shrine ...... How did you set it up here? ”

Bai Ling raised her eyes and glanced at a desolate mountain road in the distance, although she didn't know much feng shui, but just based on the intuition of an ordinary person, she felt that this was probably not a treasure suitable for burial.

"Lord Wei's ancestral hall can be found everywhere when you leave Zhuozhou." Xue Zi'an said with a smile, "After all, no one knows where his real tomb is, and if he did, I'm afraid it would have been dug up a long time ago." ”

"Why?" Bai Ling asked.

"What, why?"

"Why are you digging his grave?"

Xue Zi'an leaned back slightly, stared at Bai Ling suspiciously, didn't answer anything, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and quickly moved forward.

Bai Ling followed closely behind him, and quickly chased after him, reuniting with Wang Meng and the others.

After setting off from both ends, the team has been marching in a northeasterly direction.

Looking at Bai Ling's shocked and helpless face, Xue Zi'an didn't feel strange at all, he smiled, "Okay, okay, when I didn't say it, but Mr. Xiao still went forward, Lord Wang, they were all in front, and I just found out that you were gone, and I was a little worried." ”
