Chapter 589 Wu Yan’s thoughts were ambushed!

At this time, Wu Rui was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Yan's answer. This dissatisfaction was not only directed at Wu Yan personally, but also represented the views of many people in the world on Gao Yao. In short, everyone despised Gao Yao and looked down on him.

As a minister of the Qin Dynasty, Gao Yao supported Prince Gao as the King of Qin. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gao Yao was just looking for a seemingly reasonable excuse for his behavior. In fact, his rebellious heart had long been exposed and known to everyone.

Wu Rui was able to rise to prominence because, on the one hand, he implemented benevolent policies for the people and was deeply loved by the people; on the other hand, he was eager to serve the public and this quality established a good image in people's minds. These two points are the key to Wu Rui's rise to prominence and the reason why he can now become the King of Hengshan.

Wu Rui despised Gao Yao's way of starting a business. He felt that Gao Yao's behavior was completely against the way of loyalty and was an extremely despicable means. But at this time, Wu Yan actually suggested that he surrender to Gao Yao. How could Wu Rui accept this? His dissatisfaction naturally became stronger.

"Father, I am not a coward and I dare not fight them. It's just that after careful consideration, I feel that the possibility of our victory is very small! I know that you are dissatisfied with Gao Yao, but it is undeniable that the people in the southern border are far superior to the people in other parts of the world in all aspects. Even Xianyang, which was prosperous at that time, cannot be compared with the ordinary people in the southern border. They live and work in peace and contentment, and even their children can read and write and distinguish right from wrong."

Wu Yan paused for a moment and continued, "Gao Yao is a man who values ​​talent over family background and spends his money on critical matters. He has reclaimed a large amount of land, making it almost impossible for the southern border to have a shortage of food and grass. He focuses on educating children, training officials, improving smelting technology, developing people's livelihood, and encouraging business and trade. These are what we lack! Once a war really breaks out, our logistics supply will definitely have serious problems, but Gao Yao has no worries at all."

Although he knew that these words might cause dissatisfaction among his father Wu Rui, Wu Yan did not hesitate to express his true thoughts.

"Enough!" Wu Rui suddenly interrupted Wu Yan, a hint of impatience in his voice, "That's enough for today, you can go back." He waved his hand, motioning Wu Yan to leave.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes!" Then he turned around and walked out of the main hall quickly, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Wu Rui looked at Wu Yan's departing back, still calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. Of course, he knew what Wu Yan was talking about. In fact, he had much more information than Wu Yan.

Wu Rui was well aware of the situation in the southern border, and he knew that the southern border was facing many difficulties and challenges. However, Wu Yan only had a superficial understanding of the matter, and he only saw the surface phenomenon, but failed to deeply understand the complexity and subtlety.

This is the result of differences in standpoints and perspectives. The way each person looks at a problem is influenced by their own environment and experience, so even when faced with the same situation, different people may have different views and judgments.

At this moment, Wu Rui represented not only himself, but also many people who followed him. This matter was not something that Wu Rui could decide on his own. Although there were some differences in how to deal with Gao Yao, no one publicly proposed surrender. This fact itself was enough to explain the problem - no one could accept the option of surrender.

If Wu Yan's thoughts were leaked out even slightly, it would lead to serious consequences. After all, Wu Yan was Wu Rui's son. Once the news spread, people would inevitably speculate whether this was Wu Rui's true intention. In this way, the morale of the army would definitely be greatly affected, and it might even lead to internal chaos and turmoil. This is why Wu Rui severely rebuked Wu Yan. He was unwilling to see his camp collapse from within before fighting the enemy.

However, Wu Yan, who was leaving, did not notice that on one side of the side hall, there was a pair of eyes that were always staring at his back. This gaze continued until the sun gradually set and the sky gradually darkened. At this time, Wu Yan suddenly received a notice from the housekeeper, asking him to go outside the city to meet Wu Rui.

Although Wu Yan was full of doubts, he followed the housekeeper's instructions without hesitation and set out on the road out of the city alone.

When Wu Yan arrived at the agreed Shilipo outside the city, the night had already turned as dark as ink, as if the whole world was covered by a thick black curtain. He held a torch and groped forward in the darkness with difficulty, but a strange feeling gradually rose in his heart.

It was so quiet outside the city in the dead of night. Apart from the torch in his hand swaying in the wind, there was no sound around. This was too abnormal. Wu Yan couldn't help but feel alert. Wu Rui was the King of Hengshan. Even if he really had something important to discuss, he wouldn't not bring his personal soldiers with him, right? This weird atmosphere made Wu Yan's nerves more tense. He began to realize that he might have fallen into a trap.

"Shua...shua..."

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air broke through the silent night sky, like a flash of lightning breaking through the darkness. Wu Yan reacted very quickly. Almost the moment he heard the sound, he lowered his body without hesitation and stuck tightly to the horse's back. However, despite his quick movements, several arrows still shot at him like raindrops, hitting his shoulders, waist, abdomen and buttocks respectively.

If Wu Yan had not decisively lowered his body the moment he realized something was wrong, he would have been shot into a sieve by the dense rain of arrows.

“Hello…Hello…”

At this time, no matter how stupid Wu Yan was, he understood that the purpose of the other party's design of all this was to kill him. Wu Yan naturally endured the pain and left and started to run away.

"Chase!"

As Wu Yan was running away, he heard the sound of being chased from behind. At this moment, Wu Yan could no longer think about who was attacking him. In addition, it was so dark at this moment that Wu Yan could not even think about the direction. He could only randomly choose a direction and start running. However, due to his injuries, Wu Yan could not hold on for too long. After running for nearly an hour, Wu Rui finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell off the horse, falling directly into the river beside him.
