"That is not so hard." Xiu Zhicheng said softly, his phoenix eyes regarding Si Ning gently. "Tell me what you want and I will grant it or do you want me to give you one hundred thousand troops from the Imperial army?" He asked.

This was the time for Si Ning to gain a hundred thousand troops yet he knew deep down he doesn’t want that. He had no idea how to manage his troops and he doesn’t want to spend the time he was supposed to be enjoying his life reading books about the art of war, the history of the Si army, and his role as a General. That would be so stressful.

Si Ning knew it was a rare chance to tell Xiu Zhicheng he wanted to leave his post yet he couldn’t form the words that would make his name go down in history as the man that relinquished his post. That would definitely make him a coward and laughing stock among the Officials. He was neither injured nor mentally unstable and he had no excuse to avoid serving his Nation. Si Ning knew he should be a great wa

    After going through several books and drinking tea all evening as soon as Si Ning got home ignoring Song Feng's instruction for him to rest but Si Ning knew he wouldn’t die of being deprived of sleep.The only solution that Si Ning found to avoid marrying Xiu Zhicheng was to get married before Xiu Zhicheng announced their wedding ceremony but the problem was he wasn’t so sure Xiu Zhicheng would allow him to do whatever he wanted unless he marries in secret, first marry then announce about his wedding ceremony. It shouldn’t be hard to pull off after making sure Xiao Pei doesn’t find out since he finally understood the brother Xiu TianZhao always talked about was no one other than Xiu Zhicheng and if Xiao Pei knows then Xiu TianZhao would likely know and then Xiu Zhicheng might know through Xiu TianZhao then next he must also not let his Commanders know. To plan a secret marriage was almost like planning to usurp the throne which means only the tight-lip

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Mental Notes

    "Elder brother, who is Liu Ting?" Si Nan asked bluntly like she might never get a chance to ask about Liu Ting if Si Ning started asking her questions.It was quite difficult for Si Ning to explain who Liu Ting was because for Si Nan not to know her means Liu Ting had a different name in this world. The only way to ask Si Nan about her was to describe her and Si Ning raised his head placing his hand on his neck to think.After taking a while thinking deeply, Si Ning never expected it to turn out to be difficult for him to describe Liu Ting and he had to close his eyes trying to think of one thing that stood out.Si Ning clicked his tongue in annoyance when he couldn’t come up with a distinguished feature about Liu Ting. "Ting in the palace." He said finally purposely not including her last name as he lowered his head to look at Si Nan who had been waiting patiently for his answer only for her to frown clearly confused.Si Ning wanted to know how Liu

    Si Ning quickly jumped up almost tumbling and kicking away the chamberstick. He yanked the wardrobe doors wide open, his hands all over the wall pulling the clothes that hinders him from inspecting the walls and dumping them on the floor. After searching for some time and found nothing, Si Ning had to clear out the wardrobe and started checking from the angles, tracing the edges with his fingers till he found a thin wooden plank that covered a cavity in the wall.The wooden plank was so thin blending in with the wall smoothly that Si Ning wondered how his sister was able to find it. He even struggled before he was able to remove the plank and there was a box that sat on the hardwood in the wall and Si Ning quickly bought it out. It was a beautiful silver box that had his name inscribed on it with beautiful calligraphy. It was quite heavy and Si Ning hoped it contained more than the letters.Si Ning had to tiptoe to avoid stepping on his clothes. He placed the box on th

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Without Rest

    The one thing Si Ning was sure about was in this era he would not be having a lot of rest and the worst part was having no time to go through his daily beauty routine. He couldn’t help but feel like he would age faster with how things were going for him and he knew this would not be the last time visitors would drop unexpectedly to see him. He doesn’t know why a Prince of Xilie would come to look for him, making him wonder if they were friends. To find out the purpose of his visit, Si Ning doesn’t have a choice but to fish out an outer robe from the pile on the floor and quickly dressed up. His hair flowing long and loose behind him. "General let me brush your hair." Ah Dai said quickly when Si Ning was about to slide the door open. "I do not want to delay Prince Qiu Bai anymore than necessary." Si Ning told him. It was Qiu Bai that barged into his home uninvited then he shouldn’t be shocked to see his appearance. Si Ning had always been confident of his looks and hi

    "Oh, Si Nan." Song Feng smiled widely as he stood up."Brother Song Feng, it has been long since I have seen you. I heard you are going to marry Mo Qi." Si Nan said brightly, already looking for a juicy detail.Song Feng's eyes darted to Si Ning before clearing his throat. "Ehmm about that..." He pursed his lips."Si Nan, you should know that is a private matter and you shouldn’t be asking about things concerning a private life." Si Ning said quickly hoping Si Nan would not get into trouble one day of how blunt she was.Si Nan was totally different from Si Ning. Si Ning prefers observing people for a short time before labeling them according to the conclusion of his observation and he was the opposite Si Nan who would attack people with questions and her results were mostly based on facts, not on hypothesis."Young Master." Ah Dai called softly as a means to remind Si Ning of his other visitors waiting for him."Oh Ah Dai!" Si Nan quic

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Happiness

    Qiu Bai placed the teacup on the table and started drumming his fingers on the table giving off an aura of an untouchable man. He stopped and raised his index finger and his guard quickly saluted and left the room.It was just like being in the room with a powerful person that Si Ning felt a little excited and looking forward to what Qiu Bia want to discuss with him that he had to pass a message to his guard just by drumming his fingers on the table. It was such a cool move that Si Ning wished he could also do. He knew trying something like that was useless with Ah Dai but he could always try them with Chen An. A code that doesn’t involve converse would come in handy one day and the most important part was to look cool.Even though his guard had left. Qiu Bai didn’t say a word but kept looking at Si Ning almost like he was studying him."Your temperament has changed." Qiu Bai told him reaching for his cup and took a sip of his tea."It is an h

  • Cunning General Si Ning   The Bird And The Dragon

    "I like you great General Si Ning." Qiu Bai declared when he stopped laughing and then brought out a golden paper hand fan and spread it open, he stared at the bird emblem imprinted on it."Hmm." Si Ning doesn’t know what to say since an unexpected statement was thrown at him out of nowhere but his lips curled up in a small smile when he heard Qiu Bai called him a great General without any hint of sarcasm. "And yet this great General does not know why an important guest graced my house?" He prayed Qiu Bai finally get his hint to start talking about the main purpose of his visit.Since Qiu Bai was staring at the bird emblem so much, Si Ning slightly stretched his neck to take a better look. It was just like the flag Shen Yu’s army carried but Si Ning could see the bird emblem wasn’t entirely blue, it had some red, green, and gold in it. It looked like a peacock but Si Ning knew it wasn’t a peacock, it was a strange bird he had never seen.

    Si Ning was calmer than he thought he would be as he folded his hands to think. He had no idea why Qiu Bai told him he got rid of his brother or why he told him he planned to make the whole of Xiu his.Even though Si Ning had not studied the map of Xiu but the little details he saw when they were planning for the route to take to the capital from the camp, Si Ning could vaguely guess how large Xiu Nation was. He might have no idea of how many provinces were under Xiu but he knew it had to be a large number and mostly when a war breaks out, it was mostly between a Nation and a small country which had a few states that the Nation would be able to conquer them without losing much in the battle and by following this pace, they would be able to expand their territory and soon be large enough to go to war with a larger Nation they had no alliance with, not on friendly terms or they had been eyeing for a long time.Xiu and Xilie were a large Nation which made none of them be

    The meeting wasn't tense and was going smoothly that Si Ning was glad about the pleasant atmosphere but the problem was he felt eyes on him, even though Xiu Zhicheng was sitting quite a far distance from him with a bored expression while replying and giving orders to the Minister reading their report yet Si Ning could tell Xiu Zhicheng was watching him.Si Ning does not understand why he was being stared at so much, even Shao Lang kept glancing at him with the corner of his eyes. Si Ning knew he looked beautiful but he had always been a beauty so he doesn't understand the stares directed at him and some of the Ministers too kept glancing at him then he concluded that it had to be because Xiu Zhicheng just announced that he would be the Empress in a month time because he doesn't feel any hostility coming from them so he doesn't think he was being stared at because he was yet to give the reply about whether he would sign over half of his army to the Imperial famil

    Si Ning's mouth fell slightly because a part of him was telling him that Xiu Yuan was at the front of the courtroom to see him. "Yuan-er?" He never expected that the name he called to sound like a question but he was a bit surprised to see Xiu Yuan so he quickly moved closer to the foot of the stairs, his attention on Xiu Yuan not realising when Xiao Pei, Jiang Ye and the rest of the guards saluted and started to leave.Xiu Yuan jumped up happily and started to wave his hands before clapping then returned to waving his hands to show how happy he was as he laughed then he started to climb down the stairs in a hurry."Your Highness!" A palace maiden shouted in alarm as she hurried off after Xiu Yuan but didn't try to stop him, she only walked behind with her skirt gathered in her hands to avoid tripping, making it looked like she couldn't catch up to stop Xiu Yuan.Si Ning could not believe that Xiu Yuan with his big robes was running towards him, he h

    Si Ning raised his hands to allow Ah Dai to tie his belt. He had woken up since dawn but didn't make any move to get out of bed only for him to finally stood up when Ah Dai came in to wake him up for him to get ready to attend the court assembly, even though he doesn't have enough time to soak for long in the bathtub yet he made sure to wash up and even completed his face routine then he allowed Ah Dai to dress him nicely even though his uniform was the same with the rest of the Officials and Generals yet he wanted to stand out and look nice because he would be seeing Xiu Zhicheng, he was still annoyed that Xiu Zhicheng left him to have dinner with his Concubines yet he still wants to dress nicely because he would see him and he hated that part of him that wants him to dress nice only for that purpose.Ah Dai led Si Ning to take his seat and he started brushing his hair out before he started to style it into a half ponytail after adding oil to the edges then he took a gol

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Awake And Talk

    No matter how hard Si Ning tried to go to sleep, he was unable to sleep even after trying to empty his mind and made sure he had nothing to think about but still the picture of Xiu Zhicheng laughing with his Concubines while they fed him, drinking wine kept coming to his mind that it was so irritating.Why am I disturbed by this?The most confusing part was that he couldn't figure out why he was disturbed by this or why he had been thinking of Xiu Zhicheng so much to the extent that he wasn't even angry for thinking about him and that was what was irritating him the most. Si Ning wasn't stupid to know that he was attracted to Xiu Zhicheng so he was going to label it as infatuation which means the only thing he needed was time for it to go then he would completely stop thinking about Xiu Zhicheng and finally go back to his daily life of not thinking about sharing affections with someone or making love to them.This thought made Si Ning smiled, giggling with a wic

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Dinner?

    'Let's meet.' Si Ning turned over the letter to see there was nothing written on the other side of the paper. Even though he knew that was there to it yet he wondered if the real meaning of the two words might be in code because it could be Qiu Bai's way to avoid any attention to be directed at them since he might be aware of their last meeting being exposed to Xiu Zhicheng. Si Ning decided to look deep into each letter after touching the paper and discovered it was just an ordinary paper yet he still tried to look carefully maybe there might be hidden words in the letters as he drew the letter closer to the candle and bent his head for a closer look but after reading it and considering each letter trying to form what code it might mean to form a meaningful sentence and cracking his brain thinking only to end up with nothing. What sort of letter was this containing only two words, no location not even a time to meet. Without hesitation, Si Ning

    Si Ning was a bit confused when Ah Dai didn’t make any announcement of Xiu Zhicheng arriving ,he only walked in and closed the door behind him then bowed before heading to light up the lanterns in the room without glancing at Si Ning.This was Ah Dai’s routine every evening when the sunset, he would come into the room to light the lanterns and candles then after he would ask what Si Ning wanted to eat so he could start preparing it so that Si Ning would be able to eat and go to bed early. Since it was a normal occurrence Si Ning didn’t say a word and only watched him while he tried not to wear a disappointed look.When Ah was done, he moved closer to Si Ning and reached inside his sleeve bringing out what seemed like a letter, and stretched out his hand to hand it over to him."Hmm Is that from the Emperor?" Si Ning asked blandly even though he was itching to grab it to quickly read what was written in it, instead he folded his hands and raised

    Si Ning stood in front of the mirror checking his face and hair, he nodded as he slightly touched his hairpin, satisfied with how perfect his face and hair was but that wasn’t the reason he was standing in front of the mirror, the problem was with his attire and his indecisive mind so he started turning over and over, checking his robes from his neck down to his feet then suddenly he felt ridiculous as he removed his outer robe and almost run-up to the wardrobe immediately yanking the door opened and quickly threw the outer robe in like he couldn’t wait to get rid of it before closing the door with a satisfied expression and nodded, his hand akimbo before walking back to the table to take his seat.After some time of staring into space, it dawned on him what he just did then he looked down at his robes and he felt like what he was wearing was not presentable enough and Xiu Zhicheng mustn’t see him like that so he stood up to stand in front of the mirror to c

    Si Ning withdrew his hand from Xiu Zhicheng’s hold due to the shock and weight of Xiu Zhicheng’s statement. He was trying to have power equal to the Emperor and Xiu Zhicheng announcing to make him the Empress was just the answer to it all but if Xiu Zhicheng takes half of his army to join the Imperial family army, even after marrying the Emperor and becoming part of the Imperial family doesn’t mean he was really part of the Xiu family and he would have no control over the Imperial army which means he would become crippled. It was just as Xiu TianZhao said, the Imperial family were afraid of him having more power than them and the Ministers were also afraid of him having more power than them in the court.Seeing Si Ning’s reaction made Xiu Zhicheng took the hand he withdrew and held it to his chest, rubbing it slowly to gain Si Ning’s attention before using his thumb to gently rubbed Si Ning’s eyebrows in a way to make Si Ning stop frowning.

  • Cunning General Si Ning   To Be Together

    Si Ning could feel his face heating up because of Xiu Zhicheng that had been staring at him and wasn’t even trying to hide it, this made Si Ning unable to look at him and to avoid meeting Xiu Zhicheng’s eyes, he stared at the kettle instead like it was an interesting piece of item that he was almost counting the flower patterns imprinted on it.For Xiao Pei to bring tea instead of Ah Dai was something Si Ning expected because Ah Dai does act timid and was self-conscious about his arm even though Si Ning never cared about that because Ah Dai had been doing his job perfectly after promising not to strain his prosthetic arm and not bringing tea must have been his way of preventing being an eyesore to Xiu Zhicheng but looking at Xiu Zhicheng, Si Ning doesn’t think the Emperor would mind about something like that, after all Ah Dai losing an arm doesn’t make him less human. Si Ning also planed to take Ah Dai along with him when he moves to the palace because
