Chapter 880: Chapter 814 · Don’t worry, one of us!

As night falls.

Three young martial artists, dressed in dark night traveler’s clothes, quietly infiltrated the military camp.

The three of them cautiously avoided the patrolling squads on their way, and though they nearly fell into traps several times, fortunately, the surrounding patrolling soldiers didn’t notice them.

The three felt several times that they were about to be exposed, but the opponent did not discover them at all.

This made the three believe that this was an opportunity bestowed by heaven, meant for them to take Zhang San’s head and become famous throughout the world.

Not far away, a patrol squad leader frowned, looking displeased.

Dissatisfied in his heart, he thought: I really don’t know what the Great General is thinking, why not just kill these sneaky assassins directly?

Not only are they not being killed, but now we’re pretending not to see them, letting them in?

What on earth is going on!

He couldn’t understand, but since it was Zhang San’s order, he had to comply.

It’s just that these three fools sneaking in have been wandering around here for too long without leaving.

Useless!

We pretended not to see you guys several times, and yet you still can’t leave?

The squad leader sighed helplessly.

However, that sigh scared the three assassins not far away, causing them to shudder and knock over a nearby brazier.

The squad leader couldn’t send someone to check since finding them would really be troublesome, but he also didn’t want to face these three idiots anymore.

“As expected, the Great General was right; in the army, we must be good at fire prevention. Quickly, fetch some water and put out that overturned brazier. Speaking of which, the position in the center of the camp where the Great General is stationed is indeed better, less wind, and the braziers are less likely to be blown over.”

After saying this, the squad leader signaled to his comrades behind him.

Everyone instantly understood and left immediately.

The three assassins, realizing that Zhang San was at the center of the camp, immediately headed in that direction.

Throughout the way, they accurately avoided the assassins within the camp each time.

This made the originally somewhat nervous and doubting-for-a-slip-up assassins start feeling bolder, their pace beginning to have an air of defiance in it.

Most importantly, when they reached the center of the camp, they found that there were even fewer patrolling soldiers.

They couldn’t even see a single guard.

“Why are there fewer guards in the center of the military camp?”

“I don’t know, I’m entering a place like this for the first time, too.”

“Could it be the legendary… strong outside but weak inside?”

The three looked at each other and then nodded together, feeling that this must be the case.

Then, the three began to look for the largest tent.

After all, someone of Zhang San’s stature would naturally reside in the largest tent.

Why would a leader be in less than ideal accommodations?

Then, the three of them found the largest tent, lifted the curtain, and went in.

Once inside, they found three people in black clothes sitting around eating hotpot.

All three wore masks that covered only the upper half of their faces, leaving their mouths exposed, seeming purposefully designed for eating.

“Who are the three of you?”

The one in the middle, whose lips showed he was a young man, smiled and said, “The three of us are here to assassinate Zhang San. Are the three of you also in the same trade?”

The three who had entered from outside nodded repeatedly.

“Come, come. One must eat well to have the strength to work!”

The man in black in the middle, while speaking, took three pairs of chopsticks and bowls from the gluttonous bag at his waist and handed them over.

The three from outside, likely having drunk too much in the afternoon, seemed to still have foggy minds, feeling slightly bewildered by the invitation from the three men in black.

“This… this… we’re here to assassinate Zhang San, but why are we eating hotpot here?”

The three noticed that one of the three assassins here was a handsome young man, evident from his lips and chin.

On his right was a large fatty whose belly looked even bigger than the pot.

On his left was a well-shaped woman.

Though she was in night traveler’s clothes, the sides of her pants were somehow cut open, exposing her fair thighs, and even a drop of chili oil just dripped on them with her soft whimper, making one irresistibly want to lick it.

“This should be Zhang San’s hotpot spot, but Zhang San isn’t here. So we went ahead and ate all his stuff. When he comes hungry and finds nothing left, hunger kills as well!”

The three assassins from outside felt it made a bit of sense and started eating too.

“I must say, it tastes pretty good. Zhang San sure knows how to enjoy!”

“I heard that Zhang San is particularly indulgent, sleeping with eight women every night.”

“Not only that! I heard Zhang San has an exceptionally large mansion in the capital, with no carpets, just nude beauties lying on the ground serving as carpets for Zhang San.”

Zhang San felt helpless hearing the defamatory remarks from the three newly arrived assassins.

Anyone would believe such tales?

Yet Zhang San glanced to the side, noticing Officer Bi’s mask frequently turning towards him.

No, someone actually believes this garbage!?

“Gentlemen, we’ve finished eating and will head out to check if Zhang San is hiding in another tent. If we find him, we’ll come find you, and together we’ll strike. Besides…”

Zhang San pointed to the night traveler’s clothes of the three assassins and said, “The hotpot smell is too strong. If you feel hot, take it off first; we’ll call you when it’s time to put it back on.”

Being straightforward individuals, the three assassins quickly took off their night traveler’s clothes and continued eating hotpot.

Meanwhile, Zhang San left the tent with the two officers.

Once outside, Zhang San sighed helplessly and asked, “If assassins are this incompetent, what were you two worried about earlier?”

Officer Wei, still carrying a bowl full of meat from the tent, said while eating, “How would I know that these assassins were so stupid.”

Then, Officer Bi reminded, “Deputy Chief, it’s not over yet; another group of assassins is coming now. This time it’s seven, and judging from their aura, they’re quite strong.”

Following Officer Bi’s direction, Zhang San looked over and indeed saw seven assassins swiftly approaching the camp.

“Officer Bi, your awareness is impressive!”

“Hehe… Within three miles, I can sense any man’s aura immediately.”

Just as the seven men in black neared the center tent, they became extraordinarily cautious.

Because even though there were no guards in the center, by all logic, this place should be the most heavily guarded.

“Senior brother, there’s no one around here. Have we gone the wrong way?”

“Impossible! The center of the camp is usually where the main commander is, Zhang San is definitely here. He must be nearby.”

Just as he finished speaking, a man in black with a half-mask emerged, nearly causing him to unsheathe his sword in fright.

At this point, the person smiled warmly and cupped his fists towards the seven assassins in a courteous manner.

“Rest assured, we’re on the same side.”
