C401 Matters concerning the Wu Residence

Early in the morning on the second day, just as Wu Shan was about to leave, a loud cry came from behind.

Wu Shan turned his head to look, and only then did he realize that it was Liu Ci Shi bringing a few yamen runners to chase him from behind.

When he saw this, he thought something important had happened, so he quickly asked the soldiers to stop. When Liu Ci Shi came closer, he cupped his hands in greeting, and asked with a somewhat anxious expression: "Why is Lord Thorn suddenly here, did something important happen?"

The Lord Thorn came all the way here dusty and worn out. After taking a few deep breaths, he then said to Wu Shan: "General Wu is very helpful to this official in the southwest, not only this official, he is also the benefactor of all the people here. Now that General Wu wants this official to return, do you not want me to come here to see you all off?"

Lord Thorn said these words with an angry look on his face.

Seeing that, Wu Shan immediately shook his head, and continued to explain to Liu Ci Shi: "Lord Thorn is overthinking it, Wu Shan did not mean it like that. Wu Shan has already troubled the citizens of the southwest for many days, and only today did he give them a clear and bright world. In the past four months, when the people of the southwest had been caught in the flames of war, they were truly uneasy in their hearts.

"General Wu Shan must definitely not have such concerns. If not for the general, who knows how things would have unfolded in the southwest. General Wu Qi, this humble official thanks General Wu on behalf of all the citizens of the southwest. As the Liu Ci Shi spoke, he was about to kneel down and bow towards Wu Shan.

Seeing that, Wu Shan started to get down from the horse, and immediately helped Liu Ci Shi up, and then spoke sincerely to Liu Ci Shi: "Lord Thorn is too serious, and these are all Wu Shan's responsibilities, I can't stand everyone's love. If Lord Thorn insists on doing so, Wu Shan will not feel at ease. "

Hearing Wu Shan's words, the Liu Ci Shi raised his head, smiled at Wu Shan and said, "Although General Wu is much younger than me, and is also a young master from a distinguished family clan. But when I first met the general, I felt that I was very close to him. I wonder when we will be able to meet with General Wu again? "

"Don't worry Lord Thorn. There will always be a day when we meet again." Wu Shan laughed at the Liu Ci Shi and said to him calmly.

"Seeing Wu Shan like this, Liu Ci Shi also nodded his head. I'll see you to the general. "

"Lord Thorn, no need to trouble yourself." Wu Shan quickly waved towards the Liu Ci Shi, and said with a smile: "A farewell will eventually come. Lord Thorn had led all the people in the yamen to catch up with Wu Shan. This friendship was etched in Wu Shan's heart, there was no need to send them off. We'll meet again in the future. "

Wu Shan cupped his hands towards Liu Ci Shi as he spoke.

Since Wu Shan insisted, Liu Ci Shi could not say anymore and could only extend his hand out as a greeting to Wu Shan. " Since that's the case, this lowly official shall watch over General Wu from here. "

Wu Shan thought for a while, then nodded at Liu Ci Shi. He mounted his horse and left in a hurry. After walking about a hundred meters, Wu Shan suddenly waved at the Liu Ci Shi, and loudly shouted: "Lord Thorn is more precious, we will meet again in the future."

In about an instant, Liu Ci Shi couldn't help but sob.

That day, he stood at his original spot, looking at Wu Shan's and the distant silhouettes of the army, unwilling to leave even after a long while.

At this time, Duan Yunfei was also in the palace, waiting for her return with a joyous expression.

She had personally prepared something that Wu Shan would love to eat, and the corners of her mouth could not help but raise upwards.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene from a few days ago, when the Wu Mansion visited the Old General Wu. After a few months, Old General Wu seemed to have aged a bit. He no longer looked as energetic and happy as he used to be. But he was still sitting in the yard, writing by himself, wasting the last years of his life.

"Grandfather." Duan Yunfei walked over from behind him and gently called out to Old General Wu.

If it was in the past, Duan Yunfei would definitely jump over the roof and hide behind Old General Wu's back while crouching down, and then give him a good scare. It was just that Old General Wu was already old and couldn't bear her torment anymore. Duan Yunfei could only obediently walk in, and said to Old General Wu: "Grandfather, it's been a while since we last met, my granddaughter is really worried about you, and it's not easy for her to be free today, so she rushed over to see you."

"Little girl, you've always been the best at coaxing your grandfather." Old General Wu turned his head to look at Duan Yunfei. He poked her arm with his finger, stroking his white beard as he spoke to Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei laughed and sat down opposite of the Old General Wu, talking to him.

"Yunfei, Grandfather is old now, so he won't be able to use these swords and spears anymore. You might as well come today and show Grandfather your sword dance." Old General Wu stroked his beard as he spoke to Duan Yunfei. The sunlight shone on his white beard and hair, making him look like an immortal.

At the end of his life, he was full of ambition. Duan Yunfei knew the ambition in Old General Wu's heart, so he did not say much and only nodded at him, and then stood up and started to play with him.

There were only two people in the courtyard: and Old General Wu.

Old General Wu praised as he watched.

"Grandfather, granddaughter is making a fool of herself here." Finally, Duan Yunfei quickly kept the sword in her hand, and bowed to Old General Wu as she spoke. The Old General Wu's martial arts attainments were extremely high, there were not many people in the imperial court who could compare to him. So she danced in front of Old General Wu. Duan Yunfei was actually a little flustered in her heart.

"It's not easy for you to have such accomplishments at such a young age. How could it be considered an embarrassment?" Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, the Old General Wu immediately stretched out her hand towards her, and then smiled as she spoke to her.

"Come here, Grandpa wants to give you something." The Old General Wu seemed to have suddenly thought of something and waved Duan Yunfei over, gesturing for her to come over to him.

It was rare for Duan Yunfei to see a Old General Wu like him being this cautious, and she couldn't help but be interested. She hurriedly came over and said to the Old General Wu: "Grandfather is so secretive, just what kind of good thing is it that he wants to give me?"

Duan Yunfei said as she walked in front of the Old General Wu. Old General Wu ordered the people to take out the embroidered box and placed it in front of Duan Yunfei.

Seeing Old General Wu's smiling face, Duan Yunfei was curious, she turned her head and asked Old General Wu: "Grandfather, what exactly is inside?"
