All Chapters of Cunning General Si Ning: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Si Ning pulled the reins of his horse to avoid riding side by side with Chen An, instead, he made sure to look like he was riding beside Chen An yet it was Chen An that was subconsciously leading the way. It would have been awkward for Si Ning to lead the way since he had no idea of his family residence location. He pretended to ride normally alongside Chen An but each time Chen An tried to match the pace of his horse to match with him, Si Ning would also do the same to avoid falling in line with Chen An. He wasn’t able to trick Xiao Pei or Ah Dai to lead the way since they both waited till he started riding ahead with Chen An before following. "Are you not going home?" Si Ning had been wondering why Chen An was still with them since he was sure they do not live together. "My apologies General since Ji Ran and Su Heng is not here but I will try my best to escort you home safely." Chen An replied firmly. To be honest, Si Ning doesn’t understand Chen An

When Si Ning saw the piles of books Xiao Pei brought for him made him spent half an hour in the bathtub as a means to escape his reality for a bit. He shamelessly gave the list of the beauty materials he would need to Xiao Pei before sending him away for the night. Si Ning spent hours mentally learning all the etiquette he needed to survive, most were not different from how it was in the modern-day world or how he was taught as an Actor and he was sure he would have no difficulties in surviving in this world as long as he doesn’t entangle himself with the Imperial Family but as a General, he was bound to encounter them. Si Ning concluded that if he acts submissive to the Emperor, politely to those that have a higher rank than him and escaping the women in the harem then surviving would be nothing but easy as pie since he was a handsome rich Young Master, a General of the country and what more could he wish for to live well except deep down Si Ning doesn’t want to be

"If you do not ask for forgiveness from me I will cut off your head, now beg for mercy!" Xiu Junjie demanded folding his arms and tapping his foot on the floor."I am sorry General Si Ning, it seems Xiu Yuan has been bothering you." Liu Ting apologized as she stopped almost ten feet from Si Ning and extended her hands to Xiu Yuan but the child only wrapped his hands around Si Ning’s neck tighter, refusing to let go.Seeing her closely and seeing how beautiful she was made Si Ning unable to avert his gaze forgetting it might be a crime to stare at the Emperor’s woman. Thinking about the Emperor left a bitter taste on his mouth and he could tell he would never like the old Emperor but looking at how she completely ignored Xiu Junjie like he wasn’t there confused Si Ning making him wonder if the birth mother of Xiu Junjie wasn’t Liu Ting."Greeting General Si Ning." The first maidservant that looked to be in her fifty’s caught up with

"Call the Doctor!" Shao Lang yelled to be heard above the buzzingly of the Officials as he quickly bent and wrapped his hands around Si Ning, lifted his head to check his face before placing his index finger under Si Ning’s nostrils to check if he was still breathing.Si Ning was quite glad that he was sweating and the sweat had washed out his makeup that covered the dark circles under his eyes and he gave himself a mental award for nailing the sick look. He breaths slowly through his nose for Shao Lang to detect he was still breathing to avoid causing a bigger commotion.It would be nothing but a shame for a great General like Si Ning to be fainting in the courtroom but Si Ning knew no one could blame him or think he was just faking it since fighting for months and devising plans along with commanding a large number of troops wasn’t easy and losing a great number of his army to protect Xiu Nation was enough for him to faint in the courtroom since he didn&r

"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
