Chapter 702 Deer and Horse

Wang Meng jumped off the horse and led the horse to Bo Ling. After just a few steps, he looked Bo Ling up and down again.

The boy in front of him is thin and thin. Although he showed some agility when he was in Tunlongpi, this kind of kung fu is obviously not suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

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

"Not yet, but bring it with you." Bai Ling patted the dry food on his waist, "Your lieutenant general, are you looking for something with me?"

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

Bo Ling was a little surprised, but still nodded and made a gesture of please.

The two led the horse and walked on the street looking in both directions.

"Since General Chang said that you are an old friend of the two Doctors Lin, I guess you also know their former identities." Wang Meng asked calmly, looking ahead.

"Yes."

"Where is Brother Wei from?"

"Vice-general Wang can call me Songqing," Bai Ling said with a smile, "I'm from Pingjing."

"...I knew it." Wang Meng had a smile on his face, "You must be a descendant of the Jingzhou Wei family who came to Beijing with the first queen mother."

Bo Ling was taken aback for a moment, then immediately remembered the prominent status of the surname "Wei" in the northern border.Before Da Zhou unified the north and south, Jing and Fu prefectures were the territories of the Wei family - this was what Huang Chongde told her when she was in Pingjing.

Bo Ling smiled with deep eyes, shook his head and said, "Vice General Wang misunderstood, I... I followed my master's surname, and my family teacher's surname was Wei, which was given by the Empress Dowager Meng. In terms of blood relationship alone, I have nothing to do with Jingzhou Webster."

Although he didn't speak clearly, every word he said was the truth, not a lie.

However, what Bo Ling didn't expect was that instead of being disappointed, Wang Meng laughed, "So, you really have the inheritance of Webster's line."

"?" Bo Ling stopped in his tracks, "Did the lieutenant general misunderstand something..."

Wang Meng waved his hand, with an expression of "no need to say more, I understand" written on his face, and then he sighed, "No wonder General Chang told me to send you to Jingzhou properly. I'm still worried about the situation over there, it seems that the general has already made arrangements, so I don't need to worry about anything, hahaha."

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

If she could keep going north in this man's attire along the way, many things would be easily resolved, so why would she have to argue.

"However, there is one thing I don't understand. Please..." Wang Meng pondered for a moment, "...Mr. Wei enlighten me."

Bo Ling almost staggered, only to feel that Wang Meng's address was becoming more and more outrageous, she quickly frowned, and said solemnly, "Don't dare to be, Lieutenant General, this junior can't bear the title of 'Mr. , just call me Songqing..."

Wang Meng stroked his goat's beard and said with a smile, "Talent doesn't lie in being young. You already knew what happened in Shihou Town yesterday, so why did you use the excuse of 'it's too troublesome to talk about'?" With Song Qing's eloquence , it shouldn’t be difficult to explain the cause and effect clearly in a few words, right?”

Bai Ling said softly "Hmm..." as if he was thinking about how to answer this question, Wang Meng said again, "Zi Ping has already told me about yesterday's situation. Do you understand, why did you refuse to say it when you were in the dense forest, could it be that if you don't believe in Ben, you will follow the good advice?"

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

"What's the reason for that?"

Bo Ling held his forehead and chuckled, "...Then I won't hide it from your lord, I do have some selfish intentions."

The two continued to walk forward.

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

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

"That's right." Bo Ling nodded, "Before I went all the way from Tunlongpi to Zhuozhou, I also inquired about it a few times...about the deer hunter, but I didn't get anything."

Wang Meng couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you ask me directly?"

"...That would be too abrupt." Bo Ling shook his head, "Besides, I was just curious, so I was afraid of causing some misunderstanding when I asked this purposely."

"Then what did you find out last night?"

Bo Ling looked at Wang Meng, "...There is nothing directly related. I just heard some old news about the Hesta tribe from Brother Ziping, and he said that the feature of red hair is rare even among Jin people. Most of the golden men have brown hair or blond hair, and blue or green pupils, only one of the Hesta tribe has red hair and brown pupils, so when he saw the grooms, he knew they were from Hesta's new tribe, Later, when I saw the bloody horse, I was even more sure."

"Come to think of it, the deer hunters should also belong to the Hesta tribe." Bo Ling asked tentatively, "But I heard from you yesterday that this tribe was slaughtered by Arslan?"

"It's okay to tell you now." Wang Meng smiled, "Yes, the deer hunter is indeed a survivor of the old tribe of Hesta."

"So it will be used by us?"

"This matter is a bit complicated to talk about." Wang Meng thought for a while, "When you heard people talking about Arslan in the north in Pingjing, they were actually talking about two tribes—including Arslan's own tribe. , including Hesta, these two tribes were independent a long time ago, and they were also the two most powerful tribes among the Jin people, so most of the time, the battle between the Jin people was between these two tribes. Hit. The Arslans are blond, and the Hestas are red-haired, very recognizable."

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that a feud? How could they become one clan?"

"This point is very mysterious," Wang Meng said softly. "The two tribes merged into one in the Shengyuan period. It is rumored that the leader of Arslan and the leader of Hesta had a dream in the same night. They were summoned by the Longevity Heaven, and came to a water lake together. A great witch conveyed an oracle to them, asking Arslan and Hesta to form a new family. The new family will be named "Arslan", and the totem will be Hesta Star's sweathorse."

Bo Ling finally understood, "No wonder I never heard Hesta's name when I heard that Arslan ruled the seven parts of the North..."

"It's not surprising. Before Jianxi 45 years ago, the name 'Hesta' has been forgotten." Wang Meng said softly, "Until the leader of Arslan a few years ago—that is, the leader of the Jin Kingdom now The suzerain suddenly said that the two tribes would be re-divided, and the red-haired Hesta no longer enjoyed the preferential treatment as a core tribe, but would be driven to the snowfield further east.

"This dispute intensified, and finally ended with Hesta being slaughtered." Wang Meng replied, "Before the merger, the totem of the old Hesta clan was a bloody horse, and the totem of the old Arslan was a snowy reindeer. After slaughtering Hesta, Arslan also erased the other seven old totems, and now the totems of the entire Golden Kingdom have also been uniformly replaced with male lions."
