Can You Keep Me Trapped? (Part 2) [Please Vote for Me]

Compared to Chaoli Pass, Lord Wu's camp was in utter chaos.

Lord Wu's trusted aide had pulled elite troops to go reinforce them.

Several advisers objected to this move.

More importantly, the mountains around Chaoli Pass were part of Shen Tang's military territory. Their lord had gone hunting in the mountains with his guards. Unless they'd encountered a powerful enemy, how could they be unable to escape? And now they'd fired a Signal Arrow for help, which showed just how strong the enemy was!

The trusted aide waved impatiently. "If you have something to say, then say it plainly. Don't beat around the bush and waste time that should be spent on the rescue!"

The adviser glanced around cautiously, signaling for him to lean in.

The aide was displeased, but he could only do as asked.

The adviser whispered in his ear, "General, have you considered one possibility—the enemy might be our current ally?"

They were only saying this to scare these rough-and-tumble warriors into not taking too many troops away!

But clearly, the soldiers thought they were talking nonsense. It was outrageous enough that they suspected Shen Tang; there was even less reason
