In fact, it was not without reason why Li Ran wanted to send Shen Wuyu to the position of Yin of Zhongli County and supervise the construction of the new capital.
After coming out of the King of Chu's camp, Li Ran went straight to the camp where Shen Wuyu was.
At this time, Shen Wuyu had also received the official clothes and hat of a doctor sent to him by the guards around King Chu, and was rubbing his hands in preparation for a big fight.
After seeing Li Ran's arrival, Shen Wuyu hurriedly stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Li Ran. His gratitude was beyond words.
"Ming Gong's support and promotion are beyond words, and I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Indeed, Shen Wuyu feels that his luck has always been good.
There was an ancestor who dared to whip King Chu Wen, and he met Li Ran when he was depressed. He also met a boss who seemed domineering, but was actually transparent at heart.
Luck really accounts for a large part of his being able to be where he is today.
Of course, his better luck is that he also has a sensible son.
The reason why Li Ran chose to help Shen Wuyu was not only because of Shen Wuyu's upright, loyal and patriotic character, but more importantly because, as a time traveler, he had already known that Shen Wuyu actually had a good son - Shen Baoxu.
Of course, this matter can be discussed later.
Now let's talk about Li Ran's other purpose of helping Shen Wuyu.
"You're welcome, sir, but I'm just a guest. How dare I accept such a courtesy from you? Please get up quickly."
Li Ran stepped forward to help him up, and then the two sat down.
Shen Wuyu is also very smart. He knows that Li Ran will not come to the door for no reason, and he is also a person who can't hold anything in his stomach, so the two of them sat down and started talking.
"Sir, are you looking for me to discuss something?"
In fact, from the moment Li Ran rescued him, he had guessed that Li Ran might have another purpose.
Today in the King of Chu's camp, I saw that Li Ran would recommend me in this way, and this feeling became even stronger.
And Li Ran had no intention of hiding it, so he nodded and said:
"Well, what the doctor said is true. There is indeed something important to entrust to the doctor."
When Shen Wuyu saw this, he cupped his hands again, lowered his head and asked urgently:
"It's okay to ask, sir."
Shen Wuyu himself was very repaying his kindness. Although he didn't know what Li Ran's purpose was for asking him, he answered without any hesitation, as if no matter what kind of request Li Ran made, he would agree without hesitation. .
Bidige
And his subsequent performance also confirmed this.
"Zhu Fang's city was destroyed, Qingfeng was captured, and the power of the Chu State is booming. This is certainly a good thing for the Chu State at the moment, but after all, it is also a problem!"
"But have you ever thought about it, doctor? Although the battles of Qunshu, Chaoyi, and even Zhufangcheng were won, there are still many doubts in them."
"I suspect that there may be spies around King Chu."
Afterwards, Li Ran reviewed Sun Wu's previous encounters and their analysis.
And when Shen Wuyu heard that Qingfeng had suffered several sneak attacks on his way back to Qianxi under escort by Sun Wu, he instantly understood what Li Ran meant.
"The matter of Qingfeng being escorted back to Qianxi is a top secret. As far as I know, not even Dr. Wu Ju knew about it. Therefore, Dr. Wu Ju was very angry about this. Therefore, if those villains were in court If there are no spies, how can we know this so accurately?"
"Ming Gong is very worried. It seems that there must be a spy in the court!"
Although Shen Wuyu was only a senior official next to King Chu, he knew a lot of inside information. This of course also includes Sun Wu escorting Qingfeng back to Qianxi.
But he didn't know at the beginning that Sun Wu had been attacked several times along the way, so when he heard what Li Ran said this time, he immediately reacted.
Li Ran also nodded and said:
"This spy is hiding very deep. I deliberately placed Qing Feng in the Zuo camp and fished for him for several days, but I never saw him move. It can be seen that this person is also very deep in the city. It may be difficult to catch him by ordinary means. from."
"So, sir, you want Wuyu to investigate in secret?"
Shen Wuyu asked tentatively.
The reason why he wasn't sure was simple, that is, he didn't understand why Li Ran wanted to leave this matter to him.
You must know that since this spy is hidden so deeply, his identity and status in Chu State must be well disguised.
And he, Shen Wuyu, was just a newly promoted doctor, and he hadn't had time to take care of everything yet. Moreover, apart from having a few words with Wu She, he was not very familiar with the other doctors. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was alone.
Besides, a self-proclaimed person like him would never have any friends around him. So, how can he do something like asking questions?
"Haha, the doctor is now the construction supervisor of the new capital. The people you will interact with in the future will definitely be complicated."
"Since this person is a spy, he must take some action during the construction of the new capital. After all, this project is huge. If he wants to stir up trouble, he will not let go of this opportunity. of."
As mentioned before, the King of Chu built a new capital in Qianxi this time. Many people in the government and the public were holding back their energy and waiting to enrich their own pockets.
And since this spy wanted to cause destruction in Chu State, how could he miss such a God-given opportunity?
"I understand, that's what it is."
After hearing this, Shen Wuyu suddenly realized. He followed Li Ran's words and continued:
"This time the king personally marched, most of the officials in the court followed the king to Qianxi. Since this person can accurately know the time and route of General Sun escorting Qingfeng back to Qianxi, then this person must also be in Qianxi at this moment. .”
"The construction of Qianxi Terrace is very involved, so there is no room for any mistakes. Since this person wants to harm our Chu State, he will secretly do it during the construction of Qianxi Terrace to trouble our Chu State subjects. Other countries benefit.”
"And since Wuyu is the superintendent and presiding officer, there is no way he would have any interactions with this person..."
"Ming Gong is indeed a good strategist!"
After saying this, Shen Wuyu admired Li Ran very much for a moment.
From rescuing him at the beginning, to helping him obtain the identity of Zhongli County Yin, and the right to supervise the construction of the new city, Li Ran's every step was very logical, and outsiders could not see the slightest flaw in it.
"No... could it be that... the reason why Duke Ming didn't directly advise the king before was to lure Wuyu forward?"
He suddenly remembered this matter again, and the admiration in his heart suddenly turned into horror.
Yes, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?
Every step taken by Shen Wuyu was done by him personally. But he also vaguely felt that all his good luck had already been "destined".
What's even more strange is that although the story of his ancestor Baoshen and King Wen of Chu has been passed down to this day, Li Ran can tell it verbatim and like a treasure trove.
How could it be possible if it hadn't been planned in advance?
And Li Ran's silence seemed to give him a clear answer.
Yes, after all, Li Ran has been in the Chu Kingdom for more than a year, and now he actually has a good understanding of all the courtiers in the Chu Kingdom.
And Shen Wuyu was the most conscientious minister he had ever seen beside King Chu.
Especially after he learned that Shen Wuyu had a son named "Shen Baoxu", he had actually already planned to "get close to the wise man".
As a time traveler, Li Ran may not have heard of "Shen Wuyu". But it is impossible that he has not heard of the famous person in the Spring and Autumn Period - "Shen Baoxu".
And from the moment he saw Shen Wuyu coming to visit him along with Wu She, based on his understanding of Shen Wuyu, he had actually already predicted everything that would happen next.
What he has been waiting for is this opportunity for Shen Wuyu to express himself in front of King Chu.
And he happened to appear outside the Chu King's camp later and rescued Shen Wuyu, which just illustrates this point.
After all, Shen Wuyu was just a lower-level staff member before. Although he had a glorious history from his ancestors, his current status was too humble.
He was so humble that Li Ran didn't dare to recommend him rashly before.
Therefore, he deliberately devised a plan to make Shen Wuyu come to power. Even the courtiers who came to Qianxi with King Chu, and even Wu Ju, were not aware of it. flaw.
