Chapter 592 Wu Rui’s reaction, extreme route change!

In Wu She's eyes, Wu Rui was very likely to kill him to consolidate the alliance. However, Wu Rui did not seem to want Wu She to die in his territory, so as to avoid a situation of killing him in the future. Therefore, Wu She inferred that after he left, Wu Rui would probably secretly send assassins to get rid of him by any means after he left Wu Rui's territory; or set an ambush on the road he had to pass and wait for the opportunity.

At this time, each force among the princes, even the adjacent forces, will leave a certain vacuum zone. This area can be regarded as a military buffer zone between the two sides, and its necessity is self-evident. Usually, this distance is about five to ten miles.

After all, if the soldiers of both sides get too close, won't it become a face-to-face confrontation? In this case, conflict is almost inevitable. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary friction, it is particularly important to set up a military buffer zone.

Normally, no soldiers would stay at such a position. What Wu She suspected was that Wu Rui might have ambushed people in such a buffer zone in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

At that time, even if Wu She died, Wu Rui would be able to find an excuse to shirk responsibility and blame the incident on other princes instead of himself. This kind of thing is often like this. Even if you know that it was the other party who did it, in the absence of solid evidence, you can do nothing about it. This is why Wu She chose the water route.

Even if they choose to go by water, they must not let Wu Rui's men notice in advance. Otherwise, the enemy is likely to block the ferry in advance, and Wu She will naturally lose the opportunity to leave. At this moment, the advantage of Wu She with only two followers is revealed. After all, in this situation, more people is not a good thing, but the fewer people, the safer. The more people there are, the bigger the target is, and the easier it is to be discovered; while fewer people are relatively more concealed and safer.

After leaving Wu Rui's royal city, Wu She did not show any impatience. He knew very well that Wu Rui would never attack him easily. Because if he really wanted to attack, Wu Rui could just kill him in front of everyone. Why would he go to such great lengths?

So Wu Rui simply chose a daytime, letting his steps appear to be unsteady, as if he had no clear destination, giving people a feeling of slowness and leisure. However, the route he took was not random, but intentionally leaning towards the ferry, but cleverly not being easily noticed.

In this way, time passed quietly, the day gradually passed, and night finally fell. At this time, Wu She immediately took action. He took Brother Lin and his followers and galloped towards the ferry without hesitation.

Wu She had carefully calculated the time and method of his departure. He chose a clear night because the moonlight would be bright and he would be able to tell the direction as long as he didn't walk into the woods.

At the same time, Wu Rui's idea was indeed related to Wu She's, but the approach he took was completely different. Wu Rui did not rush to the ferry like Wu She did, but chose another strategy - spreading the news of Wu She's departure as much as possible to attract more people's attention.

On the surface, Wu Rui's actions seem unnecessary or even useless. However, when we delve deeper into his true intentions, we find that his intentions are extremely sinister.

At this time, in the territory governed by Wu Rui, there were countless spies from other princes. After all, Wu Rui's place was almost certain to be the main location for Gao Yao to start the war in the next stage, and his attitude played a crucial role in the direction of this war.

Naturally, all forces will not take him lightly. Even the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan must have stationed a lot of spies and manpower here to deal with various situations that may arise.

But now, Wu Rui suddenly made such a move, which was almost equivalent to announcing to everyone that Wu She was about to leave. This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal, because Wu She's life and death had a significant impact on many people.

It is an indisputable fact that Wu She's death is in the interests of most people. His existence may pose a threat to certain forces or become an obstacle to their goals. Therefore, when Wu Rui revealed the news that Wu She was about to leave, I am afraid that many people would be eager to put Wu She to death to ensure that their own interests would not be affected. Wu Rui's move seems simple, but it actually hides a mystery, and his sinister intentions are shocking.

At this moment, Wu Rui did send a considerable number of people to follow Wu She closely. However, the purpose of these people being sent out was neither to assassinate Wu She nor to protect him. To be precise, they were specially arranged by Wu She to clean up the mess after Wu She encountered an accident. Once Wu She encountered an accident, these people would immediately take action and catch all the assassins, and hand over Wu She's body and the assassins' lives and deaths to Gao Yao for disposal.

Wu Rui's move was extremely clever. He cleverly threw this thorny problem to Gao Yao to deal with. As for whether Wu Yan had already surrendered to Gao Yao, Wu Rui was not sure at the moment. But at this moment, all Wu Rui needed to do was to delay time as much as possible. The longer the time was delayed, the more beneficial it would be for Wu Rui, because this was completely in line with his plan. Wu Rui handed all the people and assassins over to Gao Yao, which undoubtedly pushed the problem to Gao Yao.

If Gao Yao really wanted to attack him, and Wu She was just an excuse, then no matter whether Wu She died or not, the result had already been determined. But if it was the other way around, it would be completely different. If Gao Yao really wanted to cooperate with him, then Wu She would die, and Gao Yao would have to negotiate again. This back and forth could at least delay the time for nearly two months.

During this time, there was enough time to find out the whereabouts of Wu Yan. They could choose to get rid of Wu Yan directly to prevent future troubles; or they could come up with a way to break the situation, abandon the previous plan, and rethink other strategies to fight against Gao Yao. After all, Wu Yan at this time was undoubtedly a huge shame for Wu Rui. Wu Rui could accept failure, but being betrayed by his own son made him lose face, and he absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening.
