Zhang Jun rushed back to Luoyang, it was already late May. After entering the city, he went straight to Xuanfusi and did not go home.
When they arrived at Wang Xiaolie's official hall, Zhang Jun hurried in and asked Wang Xiaolie: "Xuanfu, my father is really back? What's the matter?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Why are you so anxious? You haven't gone home yet, have you?"
Zhang Jun said: "Xuanfu asked me to rush back to Luoyang. It must be something important. I can go back home at any time, but of course business matters are important."
Wang Xiaolie took his teacup and went to the reception area and said to Zhang Jun: "Come over and sit down. We need to discuss something."
Zhang Jun sat down across from him, and Wang Xiaolie ordered his soldiers to make tea.
Looking at Zhang Jun, Wang Xiaolie said: "There is something that is really unexpected. Don't be surprised when you hear it."
Zhang Jun became more and more anxious after hearing this and said: "Xuanfu talks like this and is so secretive, how can I not be anxious!"
Wang Xiaolie held the tea cup and was silent for a while before saying: "Your father Zhang Yuan was kidnapped by the Jin people during the Jingkang period and went northward, and suffered a lot. Later, he got help from a noble man in Datong Mansion and opened a hotel. . A few months ago, the Jin people wanted to inquire about the intelligence of our army, so they chose him as a spy. They came to Luoyang with Li Benyu, an officer from Gushen Mansion, and now they have opened a cloth shop in the city to hide their identity. "
After hearing this, Zhang Jun was stunned. After a while, he said: "Xuanfu is saying that my father - is Xizuo?"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "He was sitting where you were sitting a few days ago, and he admitted it himself."
After a while, Zhang Jun's expression calmed down. Said: "What do you want to do? What do I need to do?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "I'm asking you now, what should you do? Your father is a meticulous worker. This matter is not trivial. It must depend on your attitude!"
Zhang Jun said: "I am a young general and you are the coach. Of course, the coach has the final say! Although he is my father, when it comes to military and national affairs, how can I do whatever I want? Everything must be obeyed by military orders!"
Wang Xiaolie looked at Zhang Jun, and after a while, he nodded: "You have grown up after all, and you can understand your priorities. Forget about military orders, now we are asking your father to do us a favor. Let him Sincerely, I must let you come forward."
Zhang Jun crossed his hands and said, "Just follow Xuanfu's orders!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Tell your father not to recognize you for the time being and stay with Li Benyu. Regarding our army's military deployment, we will give him information and ask him to report it to the Jin people. Remember, you have to break the relationship." Don’t let the Jin people discover the connection between your family.”
Zhang Jun couldn't help frowning after hearing this and said: "Xuanfu doesn't know about my family. In the past, when my father was here, he and his mother were very affectionate. They loved each other every day and could not be separated for a moment. Now I have known my mother for some time. Yes, we must be together every day, how can we hide it from others?"
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "We let father still live in the cloth shop and did not live in your house. If we send people to help cover it up, as long as your father doesn't tell, Li Benyu will never know. But this kind of thing will definitely not last forever. Only if he cooperates."
Zhang Jun nodded: "If that's the case, of course. I'll go back and tell my parents, and they should listen to me."
Wang Xiaolie said: "I told all the soldiers and horses in Shizhou on the front line that they would strategically deceive the Jin army. The Jin people's work of collecting intelligence was very rough, so they sent Li Benyu and your father to give them We have a chance. Through your father, give false information to the Jin Army and cover the Shizhou Army."
Zhang Jun said: "I understand."
Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not easy for you to go back to Luoyang. Go back and visit your family quickly. I have some pastries made by Xuanfu Division. You can take them back as a gift."
Zhang Jun heard this and smiled and said: "The one made by the Xuanfu Department must be very good, and my family will definitely like it!"
Wang Xiaolie called his soldiers and packed a bag of cakes for Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun happily carried it out of Xuanfu Division and returned home.
When we arrived at the alley, we happened to meet the monks from temple A and B coming out. When he saw Zhang Jun, he felt very worried and hurriedly fled to the temple.
Zhang Jun saw this and cursed: "This monk usually eats offerings from hundreds of families, but he is so rude! He avoided me early when he saw me coming."
After saying that, he took a few glances into the temple. Seeing the monk hiding behind the door, he was so frightened and panicked that he saw him, and couldn't help laughing. He took long strides and walked towards his home. When he got to the door, he saw that it was closed and ordered the guard to knock on the door.
Yunu opened the door and saw Zhang Jun outside. He pressed his chest and called Amitabha, saying: "You are finally back! These days, because of Aweng's affairs, the family is in a state of unrest, which is really annoying to me."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "It's obviously a great thing for the family to reunite, so why are you still worried!"
Yunu just sighed and let Zhang Jun in.
After entering the door, Zhang Jun asked: "Where is Dad?"
Yunu said: "Xuanxiang went to talk to Aweng that day. When he came back, Aweng turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to stay at home anymore, so he went back to the cloth shop that day. Grandma was angry when her husband came back and didn't accompany her. We have to seek life and death, crying every day. We two can't help it, there is chaos in the house these days!"
After hearing this, Zhang Jun hurriedly handed the cakes to Yunu and went to his mother's room.
Before reaching the door, Zhang Jun heard crying. He hurriedly walked a few steps, arrived at the door, and knocked on the door gently.
I heard the mother scolding inside: "I have raised an unfilial son. I am not at home to raise me, so two vixens come here. This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. What kind of life are they living! Finally, my husband came back and lived in the house again. In the cloth shop, it’s easy not to go home!”
Zhang Jun heard this and said in a deep voice: "Mom, it's me. Open the door!"
Hearing her son's voice outside, Zhang Jun's mother hurriedly got up from the bed, packed her clothes, and opened the door. When he saw Zhang Jun standing outside, he burst into tears and hugged him.
Zhang Jun hugged his mother gently and stood at the door, with a look of helplessness on his face.
After a while, Zhang Jun's mother let go of her son. Said: "It's so rare that you come home, why do I let you stand at the door! Oh my, I'm so confused!"
After saying that, he took his son's hand and walked into the house together.
Sitting down on the seat, Zhang Jun's mother held Zhang Jun's face with her hands and said, "I heard that you have been on the front line these past few months. Come and see, have you lost weight?"
Zhang Jun didn't move, letting his mother look left and right, looking carefully.
When his mother put down her hand, Zhang Jun said in a deep voice: "It's my order to let Sisters Yunu look at you. There is no way. My mother used to do too outrageous things. When did I come back and wasn't someone pointing at my back and making fun of me? Listen to what my mother said. It means that Sister Yunu will pay close attention to it, it is very good."
His mother patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and scolded: "What are you talking about? Why am I so shameless!"
Zhang Jun said: "You should know what kind of person your mother is. In the past, when my father was at home, my mother took care of her husband and raised her children, and she never gossiped. In the past few years, my father was captured by the Jin people, and my mother has committed many crimes. There’s no need for me to say more.”
After hearing this, my mother flipped her hair slightly, feeling a little shy. Said: "It's different now. Why are you talking about the past?"
Zhang Jun sighed softly: "My father is back, how can I not say these words? Mom, don't you think my father will know if I don't tell you? He is from the north, and he doesn't have many acquaintances outside now. No one told him. After a while, people around him became familiar with it, so how could he hide it?"
The mother lowered her head, her eyes evasive. After a while, he said: "Today is different from the past, why chew the tongue of the past?"
Zhang Jun said: "Now that dad is back, I hope mom can calm down and live a good life with dad and stop causing trouble."
After hearing this, my mother said: "Now your father lives in a cloth shop and refuses to come home. What can you do? I don't know whether he lives or dies. Now that we are in Luoyang, we are not far away. How can we not go home?" Come?"
Zhang Jun said: "Mom doesn't need to know about these important national events. You only need to know that in a few months, my father will come back to reunite with you. It's rare for me to come home today. I will send someone to invite my father back later."
After hearing this, my mother burst into tears and laughed: "Of course that's good. But if your father comes home, everything will be fine!"
Zhang Jun nodded and said no more.
In the evening, Zhang Jun sent a personal soldier to Li Benyu's silk shop to call his father back.
Li Benyu was invited by someone to go out for a drink, leaving Zhang Yuan alone in the store. I saw a man in the evening. He entered the store and looked left and right. When the boy saw that the customer did not buy anything, he looked on with an unhappy face.
Zhang Yuan came out and saw the man looking very strange. He stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what goods do you want to buy?"
The man said: "I don't want to buy any goods, just take a look."
After saying that, he looked at the boy next to him from the corner of his eyes.
Zhang Yuan understood this and called the servant aside. He said, "Sir, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
The man said: "I am Zhang Qianha's personal soldier, and I came here to invite Zhang Yuanwai. Qianha asked you to go home early. He is waiting at home."
Zhang Yuan was very excited when he heard that his son was back. He said to the man: "You go first, I will come later."
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Zhang Yuan felt his breathing quicken. After thinking for a while, he said to the boy: "I have something to do and I have to go out of the store. Let's collect it early today. When Mr. Li comes back, tell me that I have something to go out."
After saying that, he tidied up hastily and hurriedly left the store.
As soon as he left the silk and satin shop, Zhang Yuan felt something was wrong. Half of the stalls on the roadside were replaced by unfamiliar faces. If you look carefully at their appearance, they are all very skilled in their movements, and they are obviously not novices.
Zhang Yuan knew that these people were probably sent by Wang Xiaolie. Being able to send so many people to monitor him in such a short period of time without any flaws, Wang Xiaolie's rule in Luoyang is not comparable to that of the Jin people in Datong Mansion.
The closer he got to home, the more nervous Zhang Yuan felt. When I left that year, my son was still a half-grown child. After all these years, I don’t know what he has grown into.
