Chapter 950

"People like nobles are rare in this world." Chen Wuji sighed sincerely, "Although I cannot become such a person, I greatly admire such people

Guo Shuhan said it in such detail, he must want me to think of a way?

Subordinate is thick-skinned, please Marquis lend a hand, Wang Yu is a capable minister and official, just overly pedantic, and his temper isn't great either. Guo Shuhan bowed deeply.

Guo Shuhan, please rise for a moment, let me think. Chen Wuji said.

Whether for Guo Shuhan or for himself, this matter should be thought of a way.

If he can secure An Sai Zhou, it can be said that he has already secretly completed the encirclement of Yan Zhou.

But how can one change the mind of a person who is loyal to the Court, even disregarding his own life and death?

This question's difficulty is countless times higher than that of a college entrance exam essay.

His loyalty is to the Court, to Da Yu, and not even to the Emperor.

How to persuade him?

It's like persuading Zhou Gongdan to rebel, persuading Qu Yuan to surrender, persuading Su Wu not to keep thinking about suicide and herding sheep, to accept the Xiongnu's sugar-coated bullets, and to enjoy what should be enjoyed.

Damn it, that's nonsense!

Wang Yu may not reach those heights, but his spirit is in the same realm.

Difficult.

"My lord, do you have any concerns?" Chen Wuji asked.

Guo Shuhan thought and said: "He likes alcohol, but can do without it. He also likes books; his family has a rich collection, and when he meets a boy who cannot afford books, he enthusiastically gives him his family's books."

"Wang Yu can also be considered a foodie; whenever he hears of a place with good food, no matter how far, he is willing to bring his cherished fine wine to try."

"By the way, I almost forgot, he also likes tea; finding the taste of existing tea leaves too bland, he planted a tea mountain himself and produced a tea called Cloud Stream."

Chen Wuji lowered his head and glanced at the tea in his cup, then remained silent for a long moment.

"Guo Shuhan, you haven't noticed that this tea's taste is somewhat familiar?" Chen Wuji said.

Guo Shuhan was stunned for a moment, "It is somewhat familiar."

"This is Cloud Stream tea, one of my favorite teas; I just didn't expect to have this kind of affinity." Chen Wuji sighed.

"After hearing Guo Shuhan's words, I am essentially at my wits' end; my lord is flawless. Even if I were a venomous mosquito, my lord leaves no opening, and I am helpless."

Such people are rare, but each one is extremely troublesome.

Especially when he is stationed north of Lingzhou, he becomes even more troublesome.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Wang Yu dies, he will surely become a revered spiritual symbol for the people, perhaps even on par with Fang Xiaoru and Shi Kefa.

And if this person dies at Chen Wuji's hands, his reputation will become what one can easily imagine.

This, for Chen Wuji who urgently needs reputation now, is undoubtedly a heavy killing move.

Wang Yu, this guy…

He simply dug a huge pit for him.

We must think of a way to persuade this person to turn from evil to good.

If we really cannot persuade him, this knife should not be wielded by him; we must find a way for those few in Yanzhou Cheng to strike first.

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji inevitably feels his head going bald.

He seems to have encountered the biggest stumbling block on his northward journey, even higher than Shenxian Ling.

Guo Shuhan also felt somewhat helpless, "Wang Yu's heart is actually like a clear mirror, but he simply won't listen to advice; I, the subordinate, have talked with him about many things, and I have advised him on everything that should be advised, yet there is no solution at all. After leaving Liu Min Ji, the subordinate came up with the only plan: send people to secretly approach, capture him, and then slowly figure it out."

His initial idea was to try to persuade Chen Wuji to spare Wang Yu's life, and he didn't expect Chen Wuji to hesitate because of Wang Yu's integrity, so he didn't even plan to act. But not acting is also not an option; if Chen Wuji's great army does not march north, he will be isolated in Feng Xian Zhou, facing the danger of being swallowed by the Court's troops.

But he couldn't save his friend's life and instead lost his own.

That would be a loss.

Chen Wuji pondered slightly, "My lord, do you have any experts nearby?"

There is a master, someone he saved in his early years from the Jianghu Person; this person later felt grateful for Wang Yu's kindness and voluntarily stayed by his side as a guard. Guo Shuhan said, "However, this is only what the Subordinate knows; whether there are other experts around him, the Subordinate does not know."

After a pause, he said uncertainly, "However, there probably aren't any. Wang Yu is an official who wholeheartedly serves the people, not overly attached to power, and rarely interacts with Jianghu Persons. Moreover, Jianghu Persons likely look down on seeking prospects by attaching themselves to someone whose official career rises and falls."

Chen Wuji roughly had an idea in his mind.

Capturing the person secretly seems like a good idea.

As long as Wang Yu does not die for the country, whether others live or die is not that important.

"I already have this in mind." Chen Wuji stared at Guo Shuhan for two glances, then expressed his idea, "However, to accomplish this, we still need Guo Shuhan to contribute some more effort."

Actually, if Wang Yu's side has only one master, sending either of the Lu family's two elders would be foolproof. But to be safe, if Guo Shuhan can step forward as bait, it would be even more secure.

After all, it's hard to say whether Wang Yu has already guarded against expert ambushes.

Or it's better to be steady.

Guo Shuhan instantly understood Chen Wuji's meaning, "Marquis, do you want the subordinate to invite Wang Yu out again?"

Chen Wuji nodded, "Guo Shuhan just said to send people to approach; no matter whom I send, it definitely wouldn't be as convenient as Guo Shuhan, and he ought to have absolute trust in Guo Shuhan."

Guo Shuhan suddenly felt some regret, having spoken his words to Wang Yu too early.

Had he known today would turn out this way, when he spoke to Wang Yu he should have left some leeway.

"The subordinate will obey the order and will not disappoint the Marquis's trust." Guo Shuhan rose and bowed deeply to accept the command.

Chen Wuji waved his hand, indicating Guo Shuhan should sit down, "With Guo Shuhan leading the effort in An Sai Zhou, I think it should be foolproof, but this way there are still some troublesome matters; this marquis needs to discuss a couple of things with Guo Shuhan."

Chen Wuji's courtesy made Guo Shuhan feel especially surprised, and at the same time gave him a feeling like basking in spring breeze.

This superior-subordinate manner is too relaxed.

Who says Marquis Zhenyuan is a killing god who doesn't recognize his own kin? That's simply ignorant.

Isn't this having the heart of a Mighty Tiger while delicately smelling a rose, employing Yama's methods, and possessing a Bodhisattva's heart?

The world is ignorant, only knowing to spread rumors and judge by appearance!

Guo Shuhan asks himself, he's also an old hand in Officialdom; now he has seen about half of the big figures in the court, but no one, when facing a subordinate, has Chen Wuji's carefree and calm demeanor, warm and moist like fine rain.

People really can't be lumped together for comparison.

Once you make a comparison, some people basically deserve to die.
