This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

Chen Zhuang had a small number of men, who broke up into smaller groups and infiltrated the grain transport team. With the help of his cousin, they managed to enter the camp undetected.

According to the previously agreed plan, they first went into hiding and then adapted to the changing circumstances.

Chen Zhuang mingled with a few trusted men in the kitchen. Some of these kitchen staff would take turns participating in training, and given the busy work in the kitchen, they didn't pay any attention to the extra few people.

"Monkey, what the hell's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly bleeding from your nose?"

Chen Zhuang's other confidant suddenly patted the monkey in surprise.

"Huh? You've been on edge these past few days, you must be tired. It's nothing."

The monkey, who was washing rice, casually wiped it clean and then prepared to continue washing.

"No...you better wash your hands, I don't want to eat food with spiked sauce later."

Chen Zhuang stopped the monkey in an annoyed manner.

"Hehe, the young general is right, I'll go wash right now, I'll go wash right now."

Although the monkey didn't think it was a big deal, he had to listen to Chen Zhuang and reluctantly stood up.

The monkey wanted to wash its hands, but it was too busy by the stove to help. Seeing a rag nearby, it picked it up and wiped its hands casually.

"Hypocritical!"

The monkey muttered something under its breath, then returned to the rice-washing area, pretended to flip the rice a few times, rubbed its blood-stained fingers, and then slowly drained the water.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, another drop of blood dripped into the rinsed rice.

The monkey paused for a moment, looked around, and when no one was looking, quickly mixed the rice with its paws.

"Hehe, this is fate. We still have to add the necessary ingredients. You guys are getting a good deal."

The wooden basins used for washing rice in the army were very large, so the tiny drop of blood quickly disappeared without a trace, and the monkey nonchalantly poured the rice into the pot.

"Later, you two will come with me to deliver food to General Li's tent. He has some connections with my father, so even if he can't help, we're not afraid of being exposed," Chen Zhuang instructed Monkey and another trusted confidant.

The food in the army wasn't exactly fancy, and it was ready in no time.

Li Jun was originally a junior officer under Chen Kegang, but he was highly regarded by Chen Kegang because of his bravery in battle.

Chen Kegang had a weak foundation in the military and intended to cultivate his own team. Coincidentally, a vacancy came up last year, and he went to great lengths to get Li Jun to fill it. Li Jun has always remembered this favor.

When Li Jun saw Chen Zhuang carrying a food box into the tent, he was startled, but he calmly waved away his men.

"Young General, what are you doing here? A military report has arrived from the front. Brother Chen has fallen into Cang Yue's ambush, and all 50,000 troops have been captured. What happened?"

Chen Zhuang put down the food box, cupped his hands in greeting, and sighed, "General, you don't know this, but this battle was far too strange. If my father hadn't informed me of the evacuation in advance, I wouldn't have had the chance to come back."

“Strange? I also feel that something is not right about this matter. That is an army of 50,000. Even if they were outnumbered, they would not have suffered such a crushing defeat.” Li Jun gestured for Chen Zhuang to sit down.

"General, you are wise. This battle was more like a deliberate suicide mission than a battle between two armies. There wasn't even a proper charge. In short... we were defeated inexplicably." Chen Zhuang slapped his thigh and said.

“This is indeed strange. Brother Chen has always been cautious in battle. If he knew he was no match for the enemy, he could have easily retreated unscathed. I asked him repeatedly after hearing the news before I found out that this was true.”

"That's right. And just before the two armies clashed, my father informed me to retreat with my trusted men, as if he already knew we would be defeated. Could this be a strategy of our army? General, rest assured, I am not trying to spy on the army. It's just that my father is currently in the enemy camp, and I am really worried about him."

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Young General, what are you saying? If this is really a plan from above, how could a mere adjutant like me know? You don't need to worry too much. Brother Chen is the commander of an army. Even if he is captured, his life will not be in danger. You can stay here in peace, and we will discuss this further later."

Chen Zhuang nodded, bid farewell to Li Jun, and led Monkey and the other man back to the kitchen.

"Ouch!" The monkey at the back suddenly cried out.

"Monkey, what the hell are you doing now?" Chen Zhuang was already somewhat displeased, and he snorted irritably.

"Hey, young general, you don't know this, this fellow has been sneaking food in the kitchen, he's probably got an upset stomach!" another confidant said with a wicked smile.

He had a good relationship with the monkeys in private and often joked around with them.

"No... I don't know what's wrong, I just suddenly feel so hungry... so hungry!"

"You're a starving ghost..."

Before he could finish speaking, the monkey roared and pounced on him.

"You son of a bitch... ah!"

Hearing the commotion, Chen Zhuang turned around immediately, only to see the monkey with bloodshot eyes, biting into the neck of another trusted confidant, blood splattering everywhere, clearly beyond saving.

Watching the monkey frantically devour its companion, Chen Zhuang felt a chill run down his spine and grabbed a kitchen knife, slashing at the monkey.

The knife struck the monkey's back, but this seemed to ignite its ferocity, causing it to roar and turn to pounce on Chen Zhuang.

At this point, the monkey's veins were bulging all over its body, and its fingernails were long and narrow with black color; it no longer resembled a human.

Chen Zhuang was far more skilled than the monkey. He dodged to the side and, without hesitation, chopped off the monkey's head with a single stroke.

After the monkey's head was cut off, its entire body continued to struggle, as if it wanted to stand up...

Chen Zhuang's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled slightly involuntarily. He had grown up in the army since childhood and had fought alongside his father for many years, so he was used to seeing blood. But the scene at this moment made him shudder.

Only when the monkey's body gradually stopped moving did Chen Zhuang breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! What's going on?"

"Kaka..."

As if the sound of bones dislocating rang out, the henchman who had been bitten to death by the monkey suddenly sprang up and then lunged at Chen Zhuang with a roar.

A moment later, Chen Zhuang, panting heavily, stared intently at the two corpses on the ground, as if afraid they might suddenly come back to life.

After a long while, the two corpses on the ground remained motionless, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He went into the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of water, and gulped it down.

However, at that moment, he heard several footsteps outside the kitchen.

He panicked and quickly threw down the kitchen knife, trying to find a place to hide it. The two corpses by the door were hard to explain.

But at that moment, another "crackling" sound rang out, the sound of bones dislocating.

Chen Zhuang gave a wry smile, quickly picked up the kitchen knife, and then picked up the boning knife on the cutting board with his other hand.

Perhaps, no explanation is needed...
