Chapter 293
"Brother Bo Miao, you are so anxious to call Wen here, but what trouble have you encountered?" Zhang Wen came to the post house where Deng Zhi was staying and asked with a little doubt.

Deng Zhi, who was busy writing, looked up and saw Zhang Wen coming. He had just finished writing the secret letter in his hand.

He carefully put the secret message into the brocade bag, handed it to the elite guard and whispered in a low voice: "Go to the market quickly and give it to the shopkeeper of Sihai Trading Company here. Make sure there is no mistake."

"As ordered!"

Sihai Trading Company is actually the semicolon of Zhao's Trading Company.

After the Public Security Agreement, Zhao's firm not only actively participated in the reconstruction of Jiangling, but also sent people to open the branch to Jiangdong after the two states of Jing and Yang resumed trade.

Nowadays, there are semicolons in Jianye, Wuxian and Wanxian counties.

Of course, in order to avoid being noticed, it has been changed.

In history, Sun Quan had moved his seat to Wuchang in the west at this time in order to strengthen his rule over the newly occupied Jingzhou area.

But now that Jingzhou has not been obtained, there is naturally no relocation. The administrative seat of Yangzhou is still located in Jianye.

There is no "eye investigation" these days. If you don't keep a close eye on it, there are many ways to hide it from ordinary scrutiny. Even the mayor of Jianye City Market has a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Sihai Trading Company.

Even if they knew that they might be infiltrated by the other two companies, they still couldn't counterattack in all directions.

Limited by the times and technical conditions, Ji Han is no exception to this. He can only focus on guarding, otherwise he will do a lot of useless work and consume a lot of manpower.

What's more, Zhao's company was established by Liu Chan earlier, and he had been working part-time in espionage before the establishment of Shadow Guard, and there were also many people who Liu Chan had deployed early on.

Even after the establishment of the Shadow Guard, they often cooperated with its actions, and the anti-reconnaissance awareness of the key personnel was not comparable to that of ordinary companies.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a peripheral organization of the Shadow Guards.

The guard hurriedly left with the secret message, and then Deng Zhi stood up.

He walked over with a worried look on his face, grabbed Zhang Wen's arm and said, "Hey, brother Huishu, how can brother Yu be in trouble? But it's you. Now that a disaster is approaching, how can you still be so leisurely?"

The two walked together and spent many days together. Deng Zhi saw that Zhang Wen seemed to have a yearning for the big man, and after deliberately making friends, the two were now close brothers, as good as brothers.

This sentence made Zhang Wen confused: "A big disaster is coming? What harm can happen to me?"

He was in Jianye, Jiangdong, and Cao Pi had not yet sent out troops, so he could still be killed from a distance.

Deng Zhi, who hated the fact that iron is not as strong as steel, pointed at Zhang Wen: "Huisu, I don't know whether I should say whether you are a good person or a slow person.

"You made a statement a few days ago in front of the Jiangdong ministers and the Lord of Wu, Sun Zhongmou. You are already facing death, so why don't you know it?"

Zhang Wen understood what Deng Zhi meant, but he was still a little confused: "In order to protect the foundation of Jiangdong, I have wholeheartedly promoted the alliance between Sun and Liu, and my intention is as clear as the sun and the moon! How can the king do harm to me? Brother, I am too worried."

Zhang Wen really thought so in his heart. He didn't realize that his position in his heart had quietly changed.

"Alas!" Deng Zhi let out a long sigh, "How could Brother Yu not know the heart of Hushu? It's just that Lord Wu is suspicious, and coupled with the slander from some ministers with ulterior motives... I am afraid that at this time, Huishu has been secretly surrendered to His Majesty. ”

Zhang Wen was silent for a moment and said: "...Since we want to help the Han Dynasty, now that Cao Pi has killed the king, Your Majesty will inherit the throne, and all the Han ministers will naturally be under His Majesty's account. What's so strange about this? I'm not surrendering to Cao, Your Majesty. How could you kill me?"

Deng Zhi: "..."

What he said made sense, and Deng Zhi was unable to refute it for a moment.

Would you like to hear what you are saying?
He just looked at Zhang Wen quietly until he couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Wen also sighed: "Alas..."

He is not a fool, but the most difficult thing for people to see clearly is their own heart. He is not yet [-] years old, and he values ​​loyalty very seriously.

Although I have been impressed by the ideals and charisma of Liu Bei and his son and Prime Minister Zhuge, I am determined to work with them to help the Han Dynasty and embark on this path of pursuing lofty ideals.

But reason is still unwilling to admit this kind of change, which is like a betrayal, so contradictory statements often appear.

Sun Quan's King of Wu is the King of Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although he has drawn a clear line with Cao Wei, he still calls himself a widower and is unwilling to give up his position as King of Wu. His thoughts are self-evident.

Zhang Wen naturally knew this in his heart, but he had deliberately avoided and ignored it before.

He wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but as a young man, he also wanted to be consistent. His contradictory words and deeds are the embodiment of this contradictory idea.

Now that Deng Zhi had exposed it with a few words, he had no room to continue pretending to be stupid.As soon as Deng Zhi saw Zhang Wen's expression, he saw through what was in his mind and said directly: "Huishu, if you follow the great righteousness and neglect the small details, can you be a man? Are you really a fool if you focus on the small details and abandon the great righteousness?"
"Prime Minister Zhuge once said to me, dear brother, you are too clear-minded about purity and turbidity, and you are too clear-eyed about good and evil. You may not end up well under Sun Quan. Now it seems that the Prime Minister's expectations are not bad. Why not give up the darkness and turn to the light early?"

Zhang Wen's body trembled, the last tangle in his heart gradually cleared up, and his eyes became firm.

He is just an insignificant branch of the Zhang family, one of the four major families. The family will not invest resources in him, but because of this, he does not have many ties in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at Deng Zhi: "Wen Shang wants to stay in this useful life and support the Han Dynasty with my brother. Please save me!"

"Hahahaha, okay!" Deng Zhi held Zhang Wen's hand tightly and said with bright eyes, "Brother Huishu, don't worry, the Prime Minister has expected what will happen today, he has already given instructions, and Brother Yu has made arrangements.

"After you return home, all you need to do is this... then, brother will have his own arrangements."

Zhang Wen nodded, but still frowned: "Wen naturally believes in brother Xian, but... there is still a younger brother in the family in Wu County. If I go west, I am afraid that my younger brother will be implicated."

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "My dear brother, just go ahead and your affairs will not be under the control of the prime minister."

Zhang Wen admired and convinced Zhuge Liang to the extreme. He immediately felt relieved and went back to pack his bags.

……

Wu Wangfu.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wen has clearly surrendered to Liu Bei. If such unfaithful and unjust people are not punished, they will surely chill the hearts of loyal people." Zhang Zhao said sadly.

Sun Quan was also angry. Last time he thought he had wrongly blamed Zhang Wen, but now the boy's fox tail was completely exposed.

It's my fault that he should be promoted to an official and give him a generous reward!
However, his face remained calm: "In your opinion, sir, how should we deal with this person?"

"I see that he has a close relationship with Deng Zhi. Now that the alliance between Sun and Liu is a big deal, it should not be frivolous." Zhang Zhao said, "We can wait until Deng Zhi leaves before punishing Zhang Wen for his crime."

Sun Quan nodded: "That's fine, just follow your instructions."

A few days later, Deng Zhi bid farewell to Sun Quan after discussing the follow-up matters. Sun Quan personally led his ministers to the dock and said goodbye to Deng Zhi, appearing very reluctant to say goodbye.

However, Zhang Wen was missing from the farewell team this time.

It turned out that he had been bedridden since that day and had been recuperating in his mansion. Sun Quan even sent someone to visit him. Zhang Wen seemed to be seriously ill.

Sun Quan did not doubt his presence, so he relaxed his vigilance over the surveillance of Zhang Wen's house.

After all, he didn't think Zhang Wen would really run away.

After Deng Zhi and his party left, Sun Quan sent someone to take Zhang Wen into the palace to "recuperate". However, by the time the soldiers arrived, Zhang Wen had disappeared...

When they asked the people in his house, they only said that the master had not left the house since morning. They thought that the master was sick and needed to rest, so they did not dare to disturb him.

When the soldiers who had jumped into the air reported back, Sun Quan was shocked to find that Zhang Wen had really run away...

The biggest suspect was naturally Deng Zhi, but the other party's performance was impeccable and he had no evidence.

The Sun-Liu Alliance was in serious trouble, and it was impossible for him to make a big mistake because of Zhang Wen without any evidence, so he could only let it go.

But people always have tempers, and King Wu of Wei was no exception. He wanted to capture Zhang Wen's younger brother from his hometown in Wu County.

If Zhang Wen really rebels and goes to Western Shu, he can use this threat in the future, and maybe he can get Zhang Wen to step in and deliver information about Shu to him.

If so, a bad thing becomes a good thing.

But he didn't know that Zhuge Liang, who had already expected it, had already blocked his escape route.

Not only that, but based on Sun Quan's character, even if he had doubts, it would never affect the major affairs of the alliance.

It can be said that it is all-round and has no blind spots...

One person left from Jianye City and one person came from Chengdu City.

King Wu of Wei did not expect Zhang Wen to run away.

And Liu Chan, who was focused on training troops and preparing for war, really didn't expect this person to come.
