All Chapters of Cunning General Si Ning: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"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

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

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

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

The swaying of the carriage made Si Ning uncomfortable and he could feel his back hurting from how long he had been sitting but he was tired of switching between riding his horse or riding in a carriage it was more like when he couldn’t take the swaying anymore he would jump on his horse and when he wanted to relax then he would go back to riding in the carriage.Because of Si Ning’s reckless washing up in the cold spring at the temporary imperial residence, he came down with a cold, and not to hinder their travel plans, he had to ride in the carriage sleeping on the mattress missing his chance to ask Xiu TianZhao questions of his stay at the imperial residence because when he woke up feeling so cold, his head hurting, he still managed to take a step out and discovered the imperial residence was spacious and large enough for his troops but for a reason, Xiu TianZhao only took him there. Si Ning suspected the imperial residence may be closed off to the troops yet t
