Cunning General Si Ning

Si Ning had always been busy so he never had time to watch when the guards of the Si residence train and for him to be able to counter what might come in the future Incase he finds himself in a position which he had no other choice or a way out than to spar with Xiu Zhicheng on the training ground and seeing Jiang Ye and Jiang ChenMu spar would at least give him an idea of what to do, how to move and not blindly rely on the martial arts he learned when he was an Actor and that was solely the main reason he was interested in watching Jiang Ye and Jiang ChenMu spar because he would rather die than ends up making a fool of himself sparing with Xiu Zhicheng.

Another reason he was considering watching them was that he felt it was improper to keep Jiang ChenMu with his army when Chen An had informed him they had nothing to teach him anymore. It would also be unfair to Jiang ChenMu if he was being kept for no reason when he could go back and become the head of his family and lead his army but for Si Ning to be sure he had to watch how they spar so according to Jiang ChenMu's fighting skills he would have to decide between the teenage boy staying to train harder or to leave his army.

There was much on his plate and getting rid of Jiang ChenMu means he had removed something from his plate to make his plate lighter and he wouldn't have to worry about a Young Master of a prominent family was in his army, if he wasn't aware of his Jiang ChenMu he wouldn't be so bothered but now that he as he couldn't just ignore him.

Si Ning wasn't a good brother to his sister when he was an Actor but this time he would protect her and whosoever wants to marry would have to go through the different analysis he was going to set and he would pick the best suitor for her and not just pick a boy because of some agreement if the agreement wasn't written then it could be nullified and if he finds out that Jiang ChenMu was a playboy then he had a reason to cancel the verbal agreement but if it was written then Si Ning would finally take his measures to find out every detail about Jiang ChenMu and try to see more than him being a playboy but from how Si Ning view him, he doesn't think Jiang ChenMu would be a playboy nor does he think he won't be suitable for his sister.

"Tsk." Si Ning was getting annoyed that he had started to overthink things and when he does that he used to end up overwriting any solution he comes up with. He had already agreed within himself that Jiang ChenMu would be a suitable husband for his sister yet he was now thinking he might not be suitable at all.

Si Ning knew Si Nan decision was also important because it would be her life and it wasn't him that was going to end up living it, his mother gave him the freedom of not forcing him to get married when he came back from war, she only mentioned marriage about him choosing his partner and she didn't interfere to help him escape any marriage invitation from Xiu Zhicheng so Si Ning as the good brother he was going to let his sister have the freedom to choose as long as she as a suitable reason to not accept Jiang ChenMu and as long as she doesn't bring anyone he wasn't going to approve home.

The attire that Yang Sheng was able to find for Jiang Ye and Jiang ChenMu after taking their measurements with a tape measure was their size that it looked like the attire was made specially for them. Jiang Ye attire was all black while Jiang ChenMu attire was a mix of red and black, Jiang ChenMu got dressed by himself without needing Ah Dai's help when Si Ning thought Jiang ChenMu would need help in dressing as a Young Master and he was a bit expecting Jiang ChenMu to come out wearing his cloth on the wrong side or his belt loose but none of that happened. Their attire was set and the next thing they had to do was to move to the training ground.

The sun was already high up in the sky due to Si Ning that took his time eating and checking Jiang Ye's and Jiang ChenMu's profiles in his room, he read a part of Jiang ChenMu profile where it says that when he was twelve, he left the Si army to join the Jiang army recruits who were training and after six months he came back to the Si army. His main skill was archery but it was stated he was also good in swordsmanship and for some reason, Si Ning was tingling with excitement, it was like he was going to watch a live sword fighting. Si Ning also spent time rubbing his face and hands with the oil Ah Dai made as sunscreen for him as a means to give Jiang Ye and Jiang ChenMu time to process his sudden declaration because he notices how Jiang ChenMu looked lost sometimes during breakfast while Jiang Ye seemed happy to be eating at the same table as Si Ning.

The training area was so large that Si Ning nodded, satisfied even though he hoped he would never find himself in a situation of having no choice but to stand on the training ground to train. There were series of different types of spears mounted on some plank while different sizes and shapes of swords were laid on a large table, another table had different types of weapons, there were also containers for arrows, different sizes bows next to it, there was also some wooden small pillars meant for hanging up the arrow sack, while on the wall faraway was some target for archery practice, some moveable wooden planks too made as a target for archery practice, It was a standard training ground and Si Ning was glad there was no one training when they got there.

Si Ning took his seat while two servants mounted an umbrella over him, after that they stood on each side holding a hand fan. Yang Sheng was also standing at the side, Ah Dai next to him.

"Will Young Master like some refreshment or tea?" Ah Dai asked as he quickly brushed out some invisible dust at the back of the chair before Si Ning rests his back.

Si Ning was quite enjoying the V.I.P treatment when Xiao Pei appeared with a bowl of grapes and placed it on a small table next to the chair. "No just water." He said after thinking for some time of thinking about what he would like to drink.

"Ah Dai will be back with water." Ah Dai bowed and started walking out of the training area.

Si Ning turned his attention to the two men that would be sparing who were standing on the training ground looking at the swords. "Jiang Ye and Jiang ChenMu, choose a sword and wrap it with some cloth or fight with his sheath, so start fighting!" He couldn't wait anymore nor could he suppress the evil smirk on his face which later fell when Jiang ChenMu and Jiang Ye were only looking at him with a confused expression.
