The Thirteenth Princess

It was truly like a chess game, Wu Shan did not even have time to react, the pieces of the Old General Wu already occupied the entire board.

"Grandfather's chess skills are peerless in the world, how could grandson possibly beat you? I am willing to lose to you. " Wu Shan said while cupping his hands towards the Old General Wu.

"In this Nanjing, everyone is a pawn in this stormy sea. Only by holding their own fate in their own hands will they be able to make a difference. If I am to be manipulated by others, I will definitely end up in a horrible situation. " "The Old General Wu tidied up the chess pieces as he talked to Wu Shan with an unchanging expression. You are too young to understand the dangers of government. You must remember all that I have said to you today. "

Hearing Old General Wu's words, Wu Shan hurriedly nodded, and looked at him with an unswerving determination. Grandfather, you can rest assured that your grandson will always remember your teachings. Never forget your roots. "

Although Wu Shan had just entered the imperial court, his intelligence and insight were not something that a normal person could compare to. Old General Wu could tell that he was not an ordinary person, being able to cause a ruckus in this chaos. He was decisive in his work, but also had good intentions in his heart. Naturally, she was confident enough in him.

Old General Wu nodded at Wu Shan, then stretched his hand and relaxed his tone as he said to Wu Shan: "It's been a few days since I last saw Duan Yunfei, that girl is really lively and cute, it makes me really miss her a lot."

"Since grandfather misses Cousin Yun Fei, the next time we enter the palace, I'll pass on a message to her, asking her to come visit us if she has nothing to do. I can also speak with you." Wu Shan smiled as he spoke to the Old General Wu, "Cousin Yun Fei sure is fortunate. There were so many princes and princesses in the palace, but the Emperor doted on Cousin Yun Fei the most and gave her everything."

Wu Shan enviously said while laughing and lightly sighing. Twisting his beard, he slowly said to Wu Shan: "Everyone says that Yun Fei is the world's most arrogant princess. The Emperor gave her the best things in this world, but similarly threw her into the heart of this vortex. Who would know that one careless move from her would result in thousands of arrows piercing the heart? "

As the Old General Wu spoke, he did not forget to remind Wu Shan, "The Yun Fei girl also has the blood of our Wu Family flowing in her veins. No matter what happens in the future, you must help and support each other. Although she is a noble princess, you still have to understand that it is not easy for her. "

"Don't worry, grandfather. These grandchildren naturally understand." After Wu Shan heard Old General Wu's words, he replied to her respectfully.

Before he could sigh, the eunuch sent by Yuwen Di to deliver the decree had already arrived in Wu Mansion.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

When Wu Shan heard the news, he hurriedly put away his Go board and knelt down to receive the order.

"According to the heavens, this is the Emperor's edict. I request General Wu Shan to immediately enter the palace and not delay any further. "Here it is."

This short sentence of the imperial edict caused Wu Shan to be at a loss on what to do. Kneeling on the ground in a daze, he didn't understand what the emperor meant.

Instead, it was the eunuch who issued the decree that coughed lightly. He said to Wu Shan with a smile, "General Wu Shan, His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived. Please quickly accept it."

Only then did Wu Shan react. He hurriedly kowtowed and received the imperial edict from the Eunuch's hands.

He hesitated but he still felt uneasy. He pulled the eunuch aside and asked him in a low voice, "Eunuch, the emperor suddenly issued a decree for me to enter the palace. Did something happen?" As Wu Shan spoke, he stuffed some silver pieces into the sleeves of the Emissaries.

The eunuch immediately understood what Wu Shan meant, and nodded slightly, then said to him in a low voice: "General Wu Shan, this servant does not know why the Emperor summoned you into the palace, but I heard that the Thirteenth Princess recommended you in front of the Emperor, that there is a good errand awaiting you."

After hearing the decree from the eunuch, Wu Shan finally calmed down a little and bowed slightly in thanks. " When I had tidied up a little, I followed the eunuch into the palace to see the emperor. "

Wu Shan said as he turned to look at Old General Wu. They were probably waiting for him to say something.

Old General Wu sat at the side and nodded slightly towards Wu Shan. The corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. "Go ahead."

Wu Shan tidied up a little, and followed the eunuch who gave the decree, and entered the palace.

At this time, the emperor was sitting in the great hall, anxiously waiting for Wu Shan to enter the palace.

The military situation was urgent and the war was tight. Yuwen Di frowned deeply, and without saying a word, he looked outside the palace.

Duan Yunfei stood at the side and looked at Yuwen Di, and his heart couldn't help but tremble a little. She walked up to Yuwen Di and said in a low voice: "Royal father, don't worry.

Yuwen Di was extremely anxious in his heart, but he forced himself to nod his head at Duan Yunfei.

"General Wu Shan greets you."

Duan Yunfei was looking outside when she walked in.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." Wu Shan walked up and greeted Yuwen Di. Only then did he see Duan Yunfei, who was standing at the side.

When Yuwen Di saw Wu Shan, he immediately waved towards him, signalling him to stand up. He anxiously said to him: "General Wu Shan, it has been hard on you to come over here. Hurry up and rise. "

Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Wu Shan quickly bent down and said to Yuwen Di, "Your Majesty's summons must be an urgent matter, so this humble subject will naturally do his best to rush over and help Your Majesty resolve the problem. This is my duty as an official, how can it be considered hard work. "

As Wu Shan spoke sincerely to Yuwen Di, Duan Yunfei stood at the side and nodded her head in a pleased manner.

He was Duan Yunfei's cousin, and the two of them had grown up together. Duan Yunfei had always been especially attentive to this cousin of his. This time he took his troops to the southwest. If he could return victorious, he would definitely be able to obtain the trust of the Emperor. Naturally, the promotion to official rank didn't continue.

Yuwen Di sat in the great hall and muttered to himself for a while, then nodded at Wu Shan. I have indeed summoned you here today because I have something urgent to discuss with you. "

"I don't know what happened, but according to His Majesty's orders. "This humble servant will go to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, serving the dog and horses." Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Wu Shan hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands towards Yuwen Di. Listening to Yuwen Di's instructions.
