Cunning General Si Ning
Chapter 259: Let Them Die

Chapter 259: Let Them Die

It was definitely going down into history, a General that got rid of over three thousand soldiers merely with seventy five men, it was such a great victory. The massacre was the time Si Ning saw the ability of his reserved force, how they killed silently, throwing daggers smoothly, the ones on the trees shooting their arrows so fast and precisely, the arrows raining down without any trees blocking them as they pierced the Xilie’s soldiers, any soldier that tried to fight the ones on the ground was bought down with the arrows and within an hour they had gotten rid of most of them and were able to capture the leaders.

It was thrilling, it was so beautiful to Si Ning because the poisonous smoke made the soldiers slow and unable to find their voice so everything went so smooth it was almost unbelievable even Shang Jin had a surprising look face on because he had never seen an operation go smoothly.

"Is this Liang?" Si Ning asked as he tilted his head looking down at the three men on their knees, their luxurious attire indicating that they were important men in the army, they were even caught with six beautiful women and a pretty man serving them wine so they were mostly drunk, the women and man were also tied and they had been weeping, none of them were soldiers, they were just taken along to pleasure the three men every night.

Si Ning was sitting on a chair in the biggest cozy tent in the camp, his men were just cleaning up so he had nothing to do, his hand started to shake again so he stylishly let the tabletop cover it from people’s view, he noticed that when his men were killing the soldiers silently his hand stopped shaking then but he was still trying to figure out the reason behind his hand, why it shake sometimes or why it became still and corporate with him. It was only Yi Chen and Song Feng that was with him in the tent.

"No this is his advisor." Yi Chen replied as he used the hilt of his sword to hit the man with white beards on the head gently then he hit the second man’s head. "This is the messenger of the advisor and this is his minion." He pointed at the third person.

"Ehhhh." Si Ning’s eyes narrowed at the Advisor. "Where is Ge Liang?" He asked now not interested in the three men before him.

"I will never tell you even if you torture me from today till forever, I will never tell you! Xilie will succeed we will rule over Xiu, you will be our Emperor wretched mistress, long live Xilie! you...."

Si Ning stood up, swiftly unsheathed the dagger in Yi Chen’s waist and bent, the dagger connecting with the advisor’s neck and blood gushed out of the open wound as the dagger sank into the neck before he could finish talking.

"Uh uh..uh..." The Advisor that was blabbing was now choking as his blood stained his neck and Si Ning’s hand.

No one expected this movement so their eyes widened in shock, they had expected Si Ning to at least torture the Advisor to get some information out of him but it seemed they underestimate the General that most feared in Xiu.

The two men’s eyes next to the Advisor were almost bulging out as if they were looking at a horror show and they shivered in fright when Si Ning pulled out the dagger letting the Advisor fall to the floor crawling at his neck in pain, his eyes bloodshot, his head filled with veins as he wiggled on the floor dying.

"Hmmm." Si Ning went back to sit on the chair wearing a boring look, his hand had stopped shaking and he knew then that violence was what made his hand corporate and he could see his hand was telling him to not let any of his enemies live. "Cut off their heads and let the vultures feed on it...."

"Wait please I will tell you where Ge Liang is, spare my life!" The Messanger of the Advisor yelled.

Si Ning smirked as he stood up once again, he looked down, his eyes blazing with fire

"Really?" He smirked.

"You can’t tell! We can’t betray Xilie! Our Nation is great....."

The Minion talking also met with the same fate as the Advisor because Si Ning plugged the dagger deep into his chest where his heart was then he stepped back to watch how blood started spilling out from the Minion’s mouth. Another unbelievable move that left them speechless.

"Continue." Si Ning said to the messenger.

"Only if General Si Ning promise to spare my life I will tell you where he is." The Messenger gave a condition.

The Messenger’s hands were bound behind him, he had not a single speck of dirt on his cloth nor do he seem to have suffered any punishment which means he probably surrendered before he could receive any damage.

A coward.

Si Ning diverted his gaze. "Where?" He asked now looking so bored.

The Messanger’s eyes widened when he saw how bored the General of Xiu was and he knew he might kill him before listening to him first so he threw his bargain out the window. "He has gone to the Imperial army to meet His Majesty but I swear I do not know where his Majesty’s army is, Our Master left with a cloak covering his face and they were four, all went in a different direction, south, east, southeast..."

"Why?" Si Ning could see why Ge Liang had to be cunning, after having a big mouth Advisor’s Messanger like the man on his knees then he had to be careful about the way he acts.

The Messenger looked a bit confused. "To show his Majesty the head of the Ge family army so that he can take command." He said in an unsure low voice.

Si Ning slowly walked around him making him shiver in fright. "Why did you tell me this Messenger of the Advisor of Ge Liang?" He crouched in front of him looking him in the eye making the Messenger so uncomfortable he had to divert his gaze.

"Please spare me, I just had my first child after thirty years of trying, I want to watch her grow old that is why I am willing to betray Xilie for her." The Messenger replied, his eyes full of honesty and hop

Si Ning nodded in understanding as he stood up. "Cut off his throat."

"Your Majesty!" The Messager cried out. "Spare me please I will do anything... Please...I beg you! My daughter..." He cried as he kowtowed, his head going thud as it connected to the floor.

"Your Majesty..." Song Feng that had been watching said when Si Ning was about to pass him. "Let him live Your...."

"This is war." Si Ning cut Song Feng off. "I do not need to spare a man who is willing to betray his Nation and Master just because he wants to live, if we have ten people like him among my men what do you think will happen to my army?" He asked and saw that Song Feng had nothing to say so he waved his hand and Yi Chen cut the man’s throat immediately.

Si Ning stepped outside the tent to see Shang Jin’s men tying up the men they caught. "Don’t bother, kill them all, none must be left alive"

"Ehhhheeeyyy...."

"Ey....."

"Eeee...."

The Xilie men cried frightened as they scooted over but Si Ning’s men went to work at once using their swords to brutally stab the men in dangerous places where they could never recover and Shang Jin’s men also joined in the slaughter.

"Ahhh...."

"Ahhh!!!"

"Ehn!"

Their screams sound like music to Si Ning’s ears, he looked at the three tents and walked up to one, parting the mesh to see it was filled with barrels of foodstuffs, he touched the grain of wheat and smelt it. Xiao Pei, Song Feng and Shang Jin were with him checking the other barrels.

"So much food!" Shang Jin exclaimed.

"Shang Jin you should send your people to come and pack this, I do not think it is poisonous, you need to pack it before it gets contaminated by the bodies or vultures." Si Ning told Shang Jin that was a few feet behind him his eyes shimmering with amazement looking at the barrel of rice.

"Yes Your Majesty." Shang Jin replied with a smile as two of his men joined him and jumped up excited when they saw the barrel as they started speaking their language.

Si Ning stepped out of the tent. "Xiao Pei find anything that might give us a clue where the Imperial army might be." He wasn’t going to take the messenger’s words for granted.

"Yes General." Xiao Pei bowed and left to do his findings.

"Hey, ChenMu." Si Ning called out to Jiang ChenMu.

"General." Jiang ChenMu ran quickly to Si Ning’s side.

"Take all we need, burn everything down except the food storage, as soon as we are done we should move." He instructed.

"Yes General." Jiang ChenMu nodded as he left to carry out his duty.

Si Ning went back to the tent, the three bodies were already dragged out so he took his seat, he needs to figure out where Ge Liang was, they couldn’t stay at the site any longer, he turned to the women that were tied, thier eyes red and swollen. "Yi Chen, take these women out, their sobbing is making my ears sting and help Xiao Pei, we need to locate where that Liang is." He said as he glanced at the one man in the midst of them not bothering to tell Yi Chen the women he mentioned includes the man so he was glad when Yi Chen made a move to drag them all out.

"Yes, Second Master." Yi Chen bowed an started to drag the tied women and the man along.
