Chapter 593: Meeting an unexpected person on the road, Wu Yan?

Meanwhile, after a long journey through the night, Wu She and his two companions finally reached the ferry. Along the way, they had passed through dense forests and crossed steep mountains, which was a very difficult journey. When they saw the ferry, their fatigue was immediately forgotten.

After paying a considerable amount of money, they bought an ordinary small fishing boat without hesitation. This was also a helpless move, because except for Gao Yao's subordinates, the fishing boats on the inland river at that time were very small, and ordinary fishermen were considered quite lucky to find a fishing boat.

At dawn, Wu She and his two followers had a simple meal and then sailed downstream. In this era, waterways were still relatively fast, and even in inland rivers, the speed of sailing downstream was still very fast. They believed that they would be able to reach the territory of the Southern Border Army in one day at most.

"Master Wu She, there seems to be someone ahead!" The fishing boat had only been going downstream for two hours when the attendant who was rowing the boat suddenly asked Wu She for instructions. Wu She was also startled when he heard this, and then looked in the direction of the attendant's finger.

As expected, when Wu She looked closely, he saw a figure lying on the river bank not far away, motionless. What was even more surprising was that there was a trace of blood slowly flowing along the river, forming a shocking red bloodstain.

Wu She was slightly stunned by this scene. He originally did not intend to pay attention to this situation. After all, in this turbulent era, with war and chaos, it was common for someone to die. Wu She did not regard himself as a savior. He could not even save his own life now, so how could he have the time to care about other people's affairs?

As the fishing boat gradually approached the figure, Wu She's eyes suddenly became sharp. He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the other person's clothes. Although it was just a quick glance, Wu She could still recognize that the clothes worn by the man on the shore were not something that ordinary people could have.

Not only that, the man's wet state and the obvious arrow wounds on his body revealed a lot of unusual information. These details all told Wu She that this man must be someone extraordinary and that he had probably suffered a serious accident.

"Come closer!" Wu She gave the order, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Yes!" The followers responded in unison and quickly maneuvered the fishing boat towards the target.

Wu She thought to himself that he had no intention of getting involved in this matter that seemed to have nothing to do with him. However, when his eyes fell on the other person's robe and the obvious arrow wound, doubts gradually arose in his heart.

All this is too much of a coincidence! The other party is only in his twenties. Judging from his condition, he must have been chased and accidentally fell into the water and drifted here. And the person who can wear such gorgeous clothes along the river is most likely from the royal city where Wu Rui is.

Thinking of Wu Rui's sudden move of sending troops out of the city, a thought quickly flashed through Wu She's mind: all this seemed to be related to Wu Rui's offspring Wu Yan.

This thought became stronger and stronger in Wu She's mind, and he decided to confirm the other party's identity. Even if it turns out that he has nothing to do with Wu Yan, it will not be a loss for him.

"Master Wu She, the person is still alive, but he is almost dead..."

The voice of the follower echoed on the silent river, as if the whole world had frozen at this moment. Wu She's heart tightened, and he walked quickly to the man, only to see that his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his breath was almost gone.

Wu She sighed helplessly and thought to himself: "What should I do?" He turned to look at the two followers and ordered: "You two help carry him onto the fishing boat." The two men did as they were told and carefully placed the man onto the boat, as if he were a fragile piece of porcelain.

Wu She stood at the bow, watching the fishing boats drifting downstream, feeling anxious. He knew that he could not stop, otherwise he would really be courting death. He fled overnight last night, and although he had not been discovered for the time being, he could only delay for two or three hours. Once those who had ill intentions towards him found out that he was missing, they would definitely look for his traces along the river.

Wu She knew very well that the ancients were not as stupid as modern people, especially those spies who were responsible for assassination or even spying, who were all carefully selected and smart. His little trick could only deceive them for a while at most. It wouldn't take long before they discovered his whereabouts and launched a crazy pursuit.

Therefore, Wu She did not stop his steps to save people, he continued to move forward along the river. However, at this time, Wu She began to search the man carefully, trying to find something that could prove his identity. This is actually a common habit of ancient nobles - they usually carry some jade, jadeite and other pendants with them, and these pendants often have some special marks on them to help people identify their identities.

After some searching, Wu She finally found a white jade pendant under the man's body. The workmanship of the jade pendant was very fine, and the hollowed-out part just formed the Chinese character "Wu". This discovery made Wu She's mouth curl slightly, and he obviously didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

However, what puzzled Wu She was why Wu Yan was attacked. From any angle, there seemed to be no reason for Wu Yan to be attacked like this. Moreover, Wu Rui had previously sent a number of cavalry to look for Wu Yan. What secrets were hidden in this?

Wu She couldn't understand the reasons behind this, especially why Wu Yan was attacked in his own territory and ended up here with his life hanging by a thread, and why Wu Rui immediately changed his attitude in the negotiation because of Wu Yan's disappearance. This was even more puzzling. Was there any hidden story behind these two events?

After a slight hesitation, Wu She immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and then directly poured out two small pills, and then gave them to Wu Yan to take directly with water.

"Master Wu She, what are you doing..."

When the two followers saw Wu She actually took out the medicine he brought with him and gave it to the stranger in front of them, they were also very surprised. Even if they had not eaten pork, they had seen pigs run. Some important ministers under Gao Yao, or officials who had reached a certain level of officialdom, would have this kind of special ration. These were all medicines that could help them survive at critical moments. They were extremely precious, and Wu She actually gave them to the man in front of him like this. Naturally, the two followers were surprised.
