"Is Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao in front?" Zhang Yi shouted in surprise as he looked at the purple-robed scholar looking out of the city gate.

"Deng Zhi is here, is the one who comes to Zhang Fujun?" Deng Zhi knew that Zhang Yi would be sent to Wuchang today, so he waited at the city gate early in the morning.

Zhang Yi's mood has been ups and downs these days. That day, he heard the envoy of the King of Wu at Guangxin County Temple that someone from Shu had brought him back to the country. He was so happy that he cried. However, on the way to follow the envoy to Wuchang, he was nervous, afraid that things would change. At this time, he saw Deng Zhi going out of the city to welcome him, and Zhang Yi felt relieved.

Although Zhang Yi knew Deng Zhi, he was not familiar with each other when he was in Shu before. At this time, he felt very close to each other and kept holding his hand and talking until the messenger coughed behind his back, and the two of them kept silent.

Deng Zhi said to the envoy: "The envoy has worked hard all the way. The King of Wu has agreed to return the Zhang Fujun. Now please hand over the Zhang Fujun to me."

The envoy did not know whether it was true or not, so he just looked at the officials of Wu State behind Deng Zhi. The official nodded and said that this was what the King of Wu agreed to, and the envoy would just go and report it directly. The envoy did not question this and said goodbye to Deng Zhi and Zhang Yi. Seeing that the handover was completed, Deng Zhi immediately asked Zhang Yi to get on the car and go to the inn to rest.

"Bo Miao has done a great job, and it is a great achievement to travel between the two places and unite the two countries." Zhang Yi said with a smile. He has calmed down now and is stretching out his hands to place it on the stove next to the desk to keep warm.

Deng Zhiqian said: "Why dare to take credit? This is all the effect of the Prime Minister's plan. Zhi is just running errands and passing messages."

Zhang Yi took a sip of hot tea and said, "Bo Miao is too humble. The Han and Wu families have deep grudges. If you can share the feelings between the two countries, it is something that ordinary people cannot do. Alas, someone was tricked by Xiao Xiao and detained in other countries and did nothing. If you return to Chengdu in the future, you will not know how to face the prime minister."

Deng Zhi advised: "Don't be depressed. Yizhou County is far away from the capital. The situation is dangerous. The prince of the mansion is alone and goes deep into the dangerous place. He was taken advantage of by the thief of Yong Kai for a moment. Please don't care. The Prime Minister was also extremely worried about Mr. Zhang in Shu, hoping that Mr. Shu could return to Shu as soon as possible to participate in the king's affairs."

After hearing Deng Zhi's consolation, Zhang Yi's mood improved and stood up and said, "Prime Minister's sincere hope, I will definitely live up to you. Bo Miao's great kindness will certainly not forget you." Deng Zhi dared not take Zhang Yi's bow, so he quickly got up to avoid him, helped him up, and sat back to his original position.

"Mr. Zhang, although the King of Wu has promised to release him, he said that he would summon you to see him before leaving. He hoped to respond carefully at that time so that the King of Wu would not change his mind. As long as he left Wuchang City, we can return to Shu according to the Prime Minister's plan." Zhang Yi naturally understood the pros and cons and nodded in agreement.

The next morning, someone from the Wu Palace invited Zhang Yi to the palace to meet the King of Wu. Although Sun Quan agreed to Deng Zhi's request to release the person at that banquet that day, he thought later that Zhuge Liang specifically entrusts Deng Zhi to return the officials in Western Shu. Is it really to calm the hearts of the people in Shu? Moreover, although Deng Zhi also requested to release other officials in Shu, he seemed to be most concerned about Zhang Yi. Could it be that Zhang Yi is the most concerned about him? Sun Quan thought about it and could not think of a clue, but he was suspicious by nature and planned to see who he had seen Zhang Yi again and again, not to be willing to ruin his promise, but to see who the person Zhuge Liang values?

It turned out to be an old man. Sun Quan looked at Zhang Yi standing at the steps and couldn't help but complain. After giving Zhang Yi to sit down, Sun Quan made a plan and spoke in his mind and said tentatively: "I heard that the widow of Zhuo's family in Shu had eloped with Sima Xiangru. How could the customs of the noble land be like this?"

Seeing Master Wu sarcastically, Zhang Yi replied without hesitation: "King of Wu, I think this widowed woman in the Zhuo family is much more virtuous than Zhu Maichen's daughter."

There is no need to say much about the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. Zhu Maichen was a minister of the Western Han Dynasty and a native of Wuxian County, Kuaiji County. He spent the first half of his life in poverty and humbleness. His wife left because she could not bear the poor and humbleness. Unexpectedly, Zhu Maichen was appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han and became a high-ranking official. Therefore, his wife was ridiculed by the world because she was blind and could not accompany her husband until she became rich.

Sun Quan laughed at the customs of Shu using the story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru's elopement, but he did not want Zhang Yi to use the story of Zhu Maichen's wife to say that the customs of Wu are not as good as those of Shu?

Seeing that Zhang Yi was dealing well, Sun Quan was not angry and asked again: "After returning to China, he will definitely serve Western Shu. He will never stay in the countryside fields like a farmer. How will he repay the orphans with such a reward?"

Sun Quan was testing whether Zhang Yi would be unfavorable to him after returning to become an official. Zhang Yi certainly understood what Sun Quan meant, and stood up and went to the hall to cry and said, "I will leave his life to Yousi to deal with it. If I am lucky enough to save my head, I will be given my parents before I was fifty-eight, and from then on, it will be a gift from the king."

Seeing that Zhang Yi remembered his grace to give up, Sun Quan immediately felt relieved and happily pulled Zhang Yi to continue talking about the customs and customs of Wu and Shu. During this period, Zhang Yi responded with conciseness and reasonable words. Sun Quan gradually showed his appreciation and value for his talents.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi suddenly felt a sudden loss and quickly said goodbye because it was getting late. Although Sun Quan felt reluctant to leave, he still had to agree and told Zhang Yi that he would come to Dongwu to meet again in the future if he had time.

Zhang Yi left the palace gate and rushed to the inn. On the way, he couldn't help but regret that he could not pretend to be confused and provoked Sun Quan to value it. He thought that Sun Quan was reluctant to let go, and it seemed that he had to follow the plan before he could successfully return to Shu.

As soon as he arrived at the inn to find Deng Zhi, Zhang Yi was about to reveal his situation. Deng Zhi felt that he might have changed when he left quickly. He immediately ordered someone to disguise Zhang Yi and dress up and disguise himself as an ordinary old servant and drive out of the city with his subordinates. Deng Zhi is now a guest of honor in Dongwu. As long as he does not leave, his subordinates can go out of the city to do business.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city saw that the Shu envoy sent someone out of the city to do business, checked the travel token, and immediately let it go. After leaving the city, Zhang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately rushed to ten miles outside the city according to his plan, where there was a ship that Deng Zhi had prepared long ago. After getting on the ship, Deng Zhi was only an envoy of Western Shu, who sent him to return to Shu to report to the officials of the two countries' alliances. The officials and soldiers of the Eastern Wu along the way did not doubt at all, because these were these daily events, so Zhang Yi and the others were unobstructed and accelerated their journey.

However, on the afternoon of the second day, Deng Zhi estimated that Zhang Yi had gone away and immediately asked Sun Quan to say goodbye. In fact, Sun Quan was still considering whether to keep Zhang Yi. After hearing Deng Zhi come to say goodbye, he immediately asked Prime Minister Sun Shao: "Zhang Yi is a talented person, and he will definitely become Zhuge Liang's arm after he returns. Such a talent, Gu really doesn't want to return it to Western Shu. But now he has agreed to Deng Zhi, and it is hard for Gu to go back."

Sun Shao understood that his master wanted to repent and stayed Zhang Yi but couldn't bear to face him. He immediately replied, "Supreme, why don't you think that I, Dongwu, are you not satisfied with the exile of Zhang Yi before, so I wanted to keep him for a while to make compensation, so that I can send Deng Zhi back to Shu first. In this way, will Zhang Yi's stay or not be held by the Supreme in the future?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he said happily: "The Prime Minister is really very smart, and this plan is very wonderful. The person comes, Xuan Dengzhi goes to the palace."

Deng Zhi didn't expect that the King of Wu really wanted to repent. Seeing that he could not hide it at this moment, he had to tell him bluntly: "The King of Wu is kind, and Zhi has won the favor on behalf of Mr. Zhang. But Mr. Zhang missed his family very anxiously, so he had already returned to Shu first yesterday. In this way, only if there is a chance to let Mr. Zhang come to Wu to pay homage to the king in the future."

Sun Quan did not expect Deng Zhi to do this trick for him. Although he was angry, he couldn't do it at this time, so he had to force his face to smile and said, "It's such a pity."

"Well. Since the mission has been completed, I will order Prime Minister Sun to leave the city to send me off tomorrow. I still have a handwritten letter here, please hand it over to Prime Minister Zhuge."

Deng Zhi immediately put it away and said goodbye. Sun Quan held Deng Zhi's hand and sent it to the palace gate. Before leaving, he gave him a drink and said, "After this farewell, I wonder when I will meet Bo Miao again?"

Deng Zhi was quite reluctant to leave when he heard this and said shed tears: "As long as Wu and Shu are in good alliance, there will be constant exchanges on the river, Zhi and the King will have many opportunities to meet again. Deng Zhi will bid farewell to the King."

Sun Quan looked at Deng Zhi's car frame, although he was reluctant to leave, he could only turn back to the palace. After entering the palace gate, he suddenly smiled at Sun Shao and said, "The Prime Minister quickly sent someone to recover Zhang Yi. Zhuge Liang made a move. How could he not return it?"

Sun Quan's pursuers finally failed to catch up with Zhang Yi. With the support of Yong'an Li Yan, Zhang Yi had entered the Shu Han territory for dozens of miles, and the pursuers could only look at the realm and sigh and return.
