2024-10-29 19:42:56Their swords clashed and Si Ning could tell Shen Yu was a skilled warrior. He watched as Shen Yu got the upper hand and move to strike at Chen An’s shoulder but Chen An was quick to somersault backward. Jumping down from his horse and slashed the hind leg of Shen Yu’s horse which made the horse to lose balance and Shen Yu rolled to the ground.
Before Chen An could jump and slash Shen Yu to prevent him from standing up to regain his balance, Shen Yu met his sword before he could inflict any damage. For how heavy their swords clashed Si Ning could tell it was a battle of power and stability. This wasn’t something he could handle. He doubts he had the power to even meet Shen Yu’s sword without him losing his balance.
"Si Ning!!! Fight me!!!!" Shen Yu yelled as he overpowered Chen An, his sword pushing at Chen An’s sword giving him space to extend his leg, and kicked Chen An on the stomach.
Hell no.
"Hell no." Si Ning had to voice his thought out as he watched Shen Yu jumped to his feet and slashed at Chen An’s arm.
Shen Yu kicked Chen An sword away before giving Chen An a flying kick to show that Chen An was blocking his way and he had no time to deal with him.
It was quite hard for Si Ning to be concentrated on trying not to be hit by an arrow and the fight that unfolded before him. He watched as Shen Yu started running towards him and he almost gave a thumb’s up to Chen An who was quick to recover and tried to chase Shen Yu despite his movement was a bit slow.
It was a relief for Si Ning to see Chen An on his feet but he had to concentrate on the man coming for him. Si Ning blinked only to see Ji Ran jumped out of nowhere to strike at Shen Yu but Shen Yu skillfully turned and met his sword.
"You will not touch our General!" Ji Ran yelled standing firm on the ground giving no room for Shen Yu to push his off.
"You insects just keep on coming... guess I will have to take your heads first!" Shen Yu seethed.
"Not if I take yours first!" Chen An jumped to pierce Shen Yu’s chest only for Shen Yu to kick him off sending Chen An rolling on the ground.
"What the..." Si Ning took a deep breath hardly could he believe his eyes. Shen Yu was concentrated on Ji Ran but was able to send Chen An flying without losing his footing.
Shen Yu twisted his blade driving Ji Ran back and Ji Ran sprang forward so that the lower point of his sword slide along with Shen Yu’s sword and drive towards his chest. Shen Yu’s sword was forced to the side and he resulted in kicking Ji Ran off sending him towards Chen An that was trying to stand up. The collision almost made Si Ning cringe but surprisingly he was sitting calmly on the horse. His face impassive and pale, he wasn’t making any move of fleeing.
The kick was a powerful good skill and Si Ning could tell Shen Yu trained his legs to produce such a result.
Not time to think but this was time to act!
If he race towards the camp. Shen Yu would chase after him and would cause a lot of casualties at the camp and what sort of excuse would he have to come up to defend himself and not appear as the General who ran from the front line.
It was quite difficult to act without thinking.
"Si Ning!!... fight me!!!" Shen Yu yelled.
Si Ning glanced at Ji Ran and Chen An who were now engaged in battle with some Xilie soldiers that wanted to prevent them from stopping Shen Yu from attacking him. Just in a blink of an eye, Shen Yu picked up a bow and arrow on the ground and he quickly draws the bow.
Does this mean this was his end? Not even spending a day in the new world.Shen Yu released the bowstring sending the arrow flying straight at Si Ning but Si Ning was quick on his feet jumping down from his horse barely missing the arrow by an inch. He could tell he jumped down based on his reflex after he had thought he wouldn’t escape the arrow.
Taking his time, Si Ning heaved a sigh of relief. It was something Si Ning wasn’t familiar with but strangely he was too calm for someone who had faced a situation of dying twice.
Ji Ran jumped on Shen Yu along with Chen An whose arm was bleeding. They both tackled Shen Yu but Shen Yu still managed to kick Chen An away as Ji Ran slashed Shen Yu’s knee. Shen Yu turned and kicked him off only for an arrow to hit him on his shoulder.
"Who?" Si Ning quickly turned to where the arrow came from only to see Su Heng drew his bow and released another arrow and it shot towards Shen Yu which hit his leg making Shen Yu lost his balance.
"Si Ning!!!!" Shen Yu yelled as Ji Ran kicked him hard on his head making him fall to the ground and he loses his consciousness.
Eish, that would definitely cause a concussion.
Si Ning released the breath he was holding as sweat slide down his face. Shen Yu was only a few feet from reaching him. He knew blood had drawn away from his face and his face was now whiter than a plain sheet of white paper but now he could check the progress of the battle.
"General Shen Yu!!!"
Three soldiers rushed at them but both Ji Ran and Chen An were able to deal with them.
"General Shen Yu has fallen!!!"
"Retreat!!! Retreat!!! Retreat!!!"
"Retreat!!!....."
Just as predicted the rest of Shen Yu’s soldiers fled.
"General your command!" Ji Ran yelled.
"Do not chase them, we have their General!" Si Ning took a deep breath feeling mentally exhausted as he pulled off his helmet and walked slowly to Shen Yu who Ji Ran was tying his hands while Su Heng proceeded to tie his legs.
"Such cowards, we will never leave our General in the hands of the enemy. We rather die than see General Shen Yu captured." Su Heng commented.
"Why?" Si Ning had to ask. There would be a time where there would be no choice but to leave the General just like how the survivors of the Xilie army did.
"Because his....."
"Enough!" Ji Ran cut Su Heng off. "That is not the reason for me, Chen An or Ah Dai to protect General Si Ning. He is our General and we do not base our actions on selfish reasons or because we are commanded to do so also General is a great warrior and he would never leave us in a dire situation."
Si Ning knew he just did, using them as a shield but they would never know.
"You are right, I apologize General." Su Heng bowed.
Their discussion was confusing but before Si Ning could ask them to elaborate about who commanded them to protect him, his eardrums almost burst when Shen Yu yelled."Si Ning!!!...."
Oh.. what an old annoying man. Sleep already.

Si Ning was glad they were done with the tying when Shen Yu woke up to glare at him. "You know the way you call me, people might think we are long lost, lovers." He couldn’t help but comment as he stood above Shen Yu. Staring down at him, Si Ning could see the man was quite old, at least in his fifties and because his son died he made a terrible choice by leading his army blindly. Si Ning concluded that Shen Yu must have loved his son dearly. "Si Ning!!!" Shen Yu said between gritted teeth. This was another era. He was a General and would act as a General. "When did the occurrence of his son losing his life again?" Si Ning asked nonchalantly. "Si Ning!!!!" Shen Yu growled, his eyes glaring daggers at Si Ning's nonchalant attitude. "The last time we fought along the river five days ago." Chen An replied as Ji Ran started bandaging his bleeding arm. Five days ago... Does that mean he transmigrated to t
Cunning General Si Ning To Enjoy This World
"What is this!!!" Si Ning yelled staring daggers at the water they didn’t change. Did they think filtering the water won’t make him notice? It’s been three days and he’d been trying not to complain about the little water they would bring for him to take a bath every morning but filtering the water he used previously was nothing but inhumane and as the General, he would not tolerate it. The least he could do in this world that refused to fade was to enjoy it. Soaking in a half-filled tub was getting on his nerves and he always choked down his complaint but seeing the filtered water was the height of his endurance. Chen An rushed in to see Si Ning beside the bathtub staring at it like it was an abomination. "General, what’s wrong?" Si Ning took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves before he jumps on Chen An to chew his head off. "This water is what is wrong, why isn’t it changed. This is the water I used to take my bath yesterday." He complained turn
Cunning General Si Ning Great News
Looking at the tea set brought by Ah Dai made Si Ning smiled. It was the first clean fine white ceramic tea set he would lay his eyes on in this world and to make things better Ah Dai set up a plate of snacks. "Young master I hope you like it, Ah Dai made it personally." Ah Dai poured him a cup of tea acting like he didn’t just lost his arm. "These herbs when added to the water to bath, will help soothing Young Master’s body." He said bringing out a small pouch to show Si Ning. The floral scent of the tea made Si Ning quickly took a sip and the bittersweet taste left on his tongue made him nodded in approver. Ah Dai proceeded to clean out his bathtub, this time Si Ning didn’t stop him. Instead, he decided neither to question Ah Dai’s miraculous change from a determined man eager to lay his life down for him to a polite docile servant. Si Ning closed the classic book he had been reading to take his mind off being annoyed by the absence of the internet and his
Cunning General Si Ning Paperwork
This wasn’t how Si Ning planned his night, he was supposed to have a long nice bath in the bath Ah Dai prepared for him and put on his sleeping robes, take a long nice sleep on the bed Ah Dai managed to spread a thick blanket on that made the bed a little decent making the body pains Si Ning do wake up to a little less but instead he had been reading reports and making the necessary arrangement for their journey back home. Just after Xiu TianZhao left to rest in his own tent and Si Ning’s bathtub was filled up with water. Chen An brought a lot of paperwork for him to go through, from the numbers of soldiers categorized into the ones who had few injuries that could ride a horse, to the ones who had heavy injuries that would have to ride in a cart. From those that had to sit to those that had to lie down in the cart adding them to the number of Xilie soldiers to the amount of the rations they had left, it was a lot of maths for Si Ning that he could almost see steam coming out
Cunning General Si Ning Dealing With Ah Dai
"I am not letting Ah Dai go." Si Ning said softly wondering if it was the best decision. Si Ning might not be a great person but he knows right from wrong and after seeing how Ah Dai had to work after losing his arm yet acting like he wasn’t in pain just to please him was something he couldn’t ignore and he wasn’t about to let Ah Dai go because he lost an arm. All the snacks and tea Ah Dai made for him was satisfactory, he had no idea of who made the meals he had been eating but it doesn't taste so good but after Ah Dai woke up and made him tea and the meal Ji Ran brought for him after was delicious and he suspected Ah Dai might have one or two things to do with it. "I heard the arm he lost wasn’t even your fault." Xiu TianZhao stood up. "I will leave you to sort out things but I will still leave Xiao Pei with you and also quit looking at me like that, if I didn’t know you well I will think you are trying to seduce me." Si Ning frowned at Xiu TianZhao’s last
Cunning General Si Ning Next Step
Ji Ran ran in and stiffened when he saw Si Ning that was swinging his hair back and forth. "General.." "Ji Ran..." Ah Dai cried sounding worried. "General." Ji Ran tried to call Si Ning. "General Si Ning..." Si Ning couldn’t blame them for being worried. He was also worried about the headache that was building up. "Ji Ran stay outside." He ordered gesturing for Ji Ran to leave as he poured himself a cup of tea, drowning the semi-cold tea at a time before gesturing for Ah Dai to stand up and take his seat. "Young master please forgive me...." "Tell me Ah Dai, what do you want? a shop, a house to live with your mother, learn a trade, learn medicine, work with me or live beautifully with your mother and get married." Si Ning took his seat, his eyes pleading for Ah Dai to be reasonable. Please be reasonable. Please be reasonable. "Ah Dai only wants the quarters me and my mother stays to be renovated with few added furniture and I w
Cunning General Si Ning Set Out
The next time Si Ning woke up was due to Xiao Pei came to wake him, it took him a few moments to try not to complain or ask to sleep for a few more minutes. Si Ning had to remind himself each time he had to get out of bed that he was General Si Ning of Great Xiu nation, a Young Master and man that had to set an example for his men.Waking up to see it was already bright in the tent almost made him jumped out of bed, he was a bit shocked to see he was dressed in his sleeping robes and tucked in bed. The mattress was so soft and the blanket thick, different from the one Ah Dai provided for him. There was a slightly bitter taste in his mouth. He doesn’t remember putting on his sleeping robes but he clearly remembered being picked up from the bathtub and given something to drink, clearly the cause of the bitter taste in his mouth."General, I have filled up the tub with warm water, we will soon depart it’s already noon." Xiao Pei said as he started folding up t
Cunning General Si Ning Night
It was a little comforting that Si Ning could hold series of conversations with Xiu TianZhao without offending him since they were the only ones in the carriage and after taking few cups of wine Si Ning couldn’t keep his eyes open for the major part of the journey. He kept drifting in and out of sleep and when he was unable to control himself and Xiu TianZhao told him to rest. He was finally able to sleep and when he woke up, it was already dark."Oh.. camp yes camp..." Si Ning blinked rapidly to see clearer and he almost yanked the window curtain off only to see that Chen An that was supposed to be riding by the side of the carriage was nowhere in sight."I can see you are so comfortable with me that you could sleep so soundly." Xiu TianZhao said as he folded the paper fan he was holding.Si Ning's cheeks were tinted with red and he bowed to hide his embarrassment. "My apologies.""No no no, what are friends for. I know you will protect me in case

Cunning General Si Ning Stare
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
Cunning General Si Ning I Miss You
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
Cunning General Si Ning To The Palace
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
Cunning General Si Ning Riled Up
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
Cunning General Si Ning Overdressed Or Not
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
Cunning General Si Ning Lost
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
