"Maybe they've been kept in the dark, too?"
Jiang Xinghai looked back toward the shore, at the War Department soldiers on duty.
These soldiers were all under the command of Zheng Wuji of the Eastern Territory!
If they've truly turned traitor, it would be unforgivable!
"However..."
Cao Qing, the Prince of the East, continued with a smile, "Young Master Jiang, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Let me ask Zheng Wuji."
As he spoke, he contacted Zheng Wuji.
"So that's how it is."
Cao Qing ended the call and looked at Jiang Xinghai. "Young Master Jiang, it seems we misunderstood. According to Zheng Wuji, the duty of the soldiers stationed on Lightning Island is merely to guard the shore. They are forbidden from going within a hundred meters of the bamboo forest."
"That explains it, then," Jiang Xinghai said with a faint smile.
"Young Master Jiang, this array is exceedingly profound. Is there a way to break it?" Cao Qing asked.
