Shen Wuyu has always been quick to deal with things, so his suspicion was actually correct. Li Ran had indeed "used" him.
Li Ran knew what kind of person Shen Wuyu was. When Shen Wuyu and Wu She came to visit him, he deliberately used words to "protect oneself wisely", and the purpose was to inspire Shen Wuyu to take action on his own.
As expected, his words indeed aroused Shen Wuyu. Especially Li Ran's "it doesn't matter what matters to him" style at that time.
Shen Wuyu finally couldn't hold himself back and was the first to go and admonish the King of Chu.
This is what happened later.
He rescued Shen Wuyu, and when the King of Chu rewarded him, he recommended Shen Wuyu, and then used the "Story of Shen Wuyu's Ancestor" that he had prepared long ago to lobby, and combined with Shen Wuyu's own loyalty to the King of Chu and the Chu State, It was a matter of course that he obtained the status of a doctor.
As a result, Li Ran's entire plan was successfully implemented without any mistakes.
Whether it is the King of Chu or Shen Wuyu, everything is under Li Ran's calculations. Li Ran knows their characters and wisdom just right.
But it also shows that in this kind of autocratic monarchy system, if you want to promote one person to the top, the twists and turns are too complicated.
Even if it was Li Ran, in order to prevent King Chu from being suspicious, he had to lay the groundwork again and again.
At this time, after Shen Wuyu saw through Li Ran's plan, he suddenly felt horrified in his heart.
He didn't expect that his "recklessness" was actually part of Li Ran's calculations from beginning to end, but he had foolishly thought that all this was just his "fate".
He felt the horror of Li Ran.
Moreover, he also felt deeply that he seemed to be being used.
At the same time, another suspicion and speculation about Li Ran also emerged in his mind.
"Ming Gong is planning this just to find out this traitor for our Chu country?"
He suspected Li Ran's true motives.
After all, Li Ran had said before that he would leave after agreeing on three things with King Chu.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so concerned about King Chu's affairs.
But this is not the case.
"Haha, doctor, there is no need to doubt."
"It is undeniable that I took advantage of the doctor's "uprightness", but this was also a helpless move. "
"I'm afraid the identity of this spy is not simple. The person behind it is probably not just for the sake of causing harm to the Chu country. If he is not eliminated, the whole world will be uneasy."
"And if we want to find out the details of this person, we really can't find anyone else who is trustworthy, so we have no choice but to let the doctor do it for us."
"But the doctor's status at that time was low and he was not worthy of such an important task. Therefore, although Li Ran had many plans, he always lacked a capable assistant."
"I'm lucky to have the doctor's help today, and Li Ran is very relieved."
Li Ran had no way to appease Shen Wuyu's dissatisfaction, so he could only discuss the matter.
If he had a better choice, he certainly wouldn't push Shen Wuyu onto the stage of history in advance.
"Huh, Ming Gong said it lightly, but has Ming Gong ever thought about what the king would think if he knew this?"
"Wuyu and Minggong only met each other a few times, but Minggong provoked Wuyu like this. Little did he know that what the king was most afraid of was the secret clique among the courtiers, and Minggong was to the king what Guan Zhong was to Qi Huangong. Ming Gong was to the king. If you act like this, how will your Majesty be able to bear it?"
Look, this is the embodiment of Shen Wuyu's strong side.
Even Li Ran, a benefactor who had just made him a doctor, he could question him without any scruples. This kind of integrity engraved in his bones has become the most distinctive feature of his life, and no matter how time passes, it can no longer be erased.
And this integrity will eventually be passed on to his own children.
Li Ran heard the sound and immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, the pure will themselves be clean, but I have never thought of it this way. It's just...doesn't the doctor want to find out who the spy is hiding in the Chu country?"
And Li Ran transferred his dissatisfaction with himself with a gentle move.
"The doctor is dissatisfied but has nothing to say."
"But right now, this traitor in the Chu State may act again at any time. This person is very harmful to the Chu State. If the doctor really wants to do his duty for this country, how about working with him to find him out?"
Li Ran seemed indifferent to Shen Wuyu's doubts.
After all, Shen Wuyu is a dignified gentleman. As the saying goes, "It is easy for a gentleman to do things but difficult to say; for a villain, it is difficult to do things but easy to say."
He knew very well that Shen Wuyu was dissatisfied, but he would never put the country's security at risk because of it.
Then, as long as everyone has the same goal and is like-minded, everything else will become secondary.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Shen Wuyu could only remain silent for a moment.
Of course he didn't want to continue to be used by Li Ran, but he couldn't let this spy continue to harm Chu.
After a long while, he looked at Li Ran and said:
"Wu Yu is willing to work with Ming Gong to find this person, but I would like to ask Ming Gong to make it clear to Wu Yu if he has any plans in the future, so that Wu Yu can prepare in advance."
This can be regarded as setting rules for Li Ran.
Li Ran also agreed very readily.
When Li Ran was about to leave, Shen Wuyu suddenly said:
"Wuyu, there is one more thing that I have always been curious about."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Ran, who had just been about to stand up, sat down again.
"It is rumored that Duke Ming and the King only have three agreements. Once the agreement is completed, Duke Ming will leave."
"In this way, Wu Yu seems to think that these things about our Chu country have nothing to do with Ming Gong. But why is Ming Gong so concerned about it? He even plots so much secretly for our Chu country? Could it be that this Is this also the agreement between Ming Gong and the king?"
Shen Wuyu looked at Li Ran with confusion.
After he finished speaking, the look on Li Ran's face couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He knew that Shen Wuyu's question was a good question. If his deeds could be passed down, future generations would definitely study this issue.
So after some thought, he still said in a rather casual tone:
"This matter is not an agreement with the king, but a voluntary act."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shen Wuyu became even more suspicious.
Just listen to him continue to ask:
"Ming Gong has already made an agreement with the king, but now he has interfered deeply in the affairs of our country of Chu. Wu Yu really doesn't know what Ming Gong's plan is."
"If Ming Gong is forced to stay in Chu State just because of the agreement with the king, then I would like to ask Ming Gong not to interfere in the affairs of Chu State in the future."
"But if...Ming Gong is really planning for Chu State, then I also ask Ming Gong to stay in Chu State in the future and contribute to the great cause of Chu State."
"However, now that Mr. Ming is so unclear, Wuyu thinks that this is definitely not the way of a gentleman."
Shen Wuyu's words directly hit Li Ran's heart. Although this statement is direct, it is actually not unreasonable.
This is like two people falling in love. If you say you don't like each other from the beginning, it's just a joke and you will leave sooner or later. But you turn your head and care for the place meticulously, even asking for help every day. Isn't this appetizing?
And this approach makes the other party rely on you, but in the end they can only watch you leave. Doesn't it sound a bit like "a scumbag who always starts messing up but ends up giving up"?
Shen Wuyu suspected Li Ran because of Li Ran's behavior.
Of course, more importantly, he also sincerely hopes that Li Ran can stay in Chu State.
After all, Li Ran's resourcefulness was indeed far beyond anyone he knew.
Li Ran's plan for the Chu State also enabled the Chu State to win three major battles in just one year, which was a moment of great power throughout the world.
For such a man who knows everything about his plans, Shen Wuyu is in charge of the Chu State. Naturally, he does not want Li Ran to leave like this one day.
