Of course, this is just a rumor, and no one took it seriously. However, judging from today's situation, it is true and not just a baseless rumor.

The soldiers training nearby must be the troops that Xiao Taiyuan established, and he used the excuse of a breeding farm to station them here.

The area is heavily guarded. Because the government is unable to control this vast area in the west, it is unaware of the true situation inside the yak farm.

He had discovered the secret of this place, and if he were caught, he would surely die.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to breathe loudly, lying quietly on the hay cart, continuing to listen to the sounds around him.

People kept coming over to talk, and from what they were saying, it was clear that an army was being drilled here, and that the instructors were actually from a foreign country, which greatly surprised Old Man Han.

After a while, it got dark, and the people on the training ground began to disperse, and the place became quiet.

He wanted to leave as soon as possible, but felt it wasn't the right time yet; he had to wait until the dead of night so he wouldn't be discovered.

With this in mind, he had no choice but to calm down and begin to wait patiently.

It wasn't until after midnight that he got off the hay cart and crouched down to walk outside.

The night was bitterly cold, and the surroundings were completely silent and dark, which was his best chance to escape.

The farm was very large, and he was completely unfamiliar with the area. In addition, it was nighttime, and it took him a long time to find the exit of the farm gate.

The gate was closed at the time, and a few staff members could be seen on duty in the dim light.

It seemed impossible to get out of here, so he began to explore to see if there was another way out.

The fences of the farm are made of rammed earth and stones from the Gobi Desert, making them very sturdy. Although they are not very high, it is practically impossible to climb over them.

Grandpa Han searched along the wall bit by bit, looking for an exit. After walking for a while, he saw a tree growing along the wall. If he could climb the tree, he could climb the wall and escape.

Although the old man was quite old, climbing trees was no problem for him. Even so, it still took him a lot of effort to escape from the farm.

After escaping the farm, Grandpa Han didn't linger. He made his way to Yuanxi City in the dark, and by the time he got home, it was already dawn.

Due to excessive fright, Mr. Han fell ill as soon as he got home. Overall, he was lucky to escape death.

When his family learned of the situation, they were shocked. It seemed that Xiao Taiyuan was bound to rebel sooner or later, and then life would be difficult for ordinary people like them.

When Zhou Tong came all the way from Yuanshui and explained his purpose, Manager Han felt that this was a very good opportunity.

After much deliberation, he finally told Zhou Tong about his uncle's ordeal.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong realized that this matter was of utmost importance and must be reported immediately. Once Xiao Taiyuan began his rebellion, it would be too late. He had to eliminate him before he could take action.

After Han Yu finished telling the story, everyone present was stunned. The matter was far more complicated than they had imagined.

Originally, it was thought that Xiao Taiyuan was merely engaging in unauthorized trade with foreign countries and betraying the country, but unexpectedly, he actually planned to start a rebellion.

"Do you know how many people are training at that farm?" Zhao Xian asked.

"According to my uncle, he only glanced at the training ground that day and didn't pay attention to anything else. He estimated that there were as many as five or six hundred people training there."

I heard that Xiao Taiyuan has several hundred thugs in the mining area. If that's the case, Xiao Taiyuan has at least a thousand men under his command.

The people at the scene were surprised again. They had not expected that Xiao Taiyuan's power in Yuanxi was so great. If he wanted to rebel now, it would only take a minute.

Currently, the total number of government troops involved in the operation is only a little over two hundred. Apart from the more than one hundred who entered the mining area disguised as slaves, the actual number of troops that can be mobilized is less than one hundred. How could they possibly contend with Xiao Taiyuan?

The original plan had no chance of success. Even if they captured the mining area, the troops from the breeding farm would arrive immediately, and the mining area would soon fall, which would force Xiao Taiyuan to actually rebel.

It seems the original plan must be adjusted, but canceling the operation is no longer an option; the arrow has already been shot and cannot be taken back.

At this moment, Prefect Jin stood up and bowed deeply to Han Yu, who was so startled that he quickly returned the bow.

"Thank you for providing such important information, Manager Han. You may go and rest for a while. We'll discuss it and then make a decision."

After Prefect Jin finished speaking, he ordered someone to lead Zhou Tong and Han Yu away.

At this moment, the council hall was silent. No one spoke. They had not expected things to turn out this way, mainly because they had not known Xiao Taiyuan's specific situation beforehand.

While everyone remained silent, Zhao Xian checked his market trading system and immediately had an idea when he saw that incendiary bombs were for sale.

"Don't worry, I might have a way to deal with the troops in the farm and wipe them all out."

However, I need to go there and check out the situation before I can make a decision.

Zhao Xian's words surprised everyone, and they all turned to look at him. There were many officials from the former West, including Prefect Jin, who all found Zhao Xian's words somewhat unbelievable.

Li Xue was extremely excited, knowing that Zhao Xian had a way to deal with the troops in the breeding farm.

"Sir, please tell me quickly, what's a good way to eliminate the troops in the breeding farm?"

"There is indeed a solution, but we must first examine the terrain and layout of the farm before we can take any action."

"Okay, do you need my help?"

"If the princess can help, that would be best. It's getting late, so let's hurry up and prepare."

Soon, a group of people appeared on the streets of Yuanxi. The locals immediately recognized them as nobles from a certain country in the Western Regions.

Although there were only seven or eight people, they had a very strong presence. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, which were studded with various gems, and they held novel gadgets in their hands that they had never seen before.

In reality, these various gemstones are all glass products that Zhao Xian purchased from the system, and they are not worth much money.

Similarly, those gorgeous clothes studded with various gems were also purchased from the system.

The group quickly left Yuanxi City and headed straight for the desert outside the city.

The yak farm was more than 20 miles away from the original Xicheng. With the guide's help, Zhao Xian and his group arrived quickly.

This area is vast and flat, and the people from the farm could see them coming from a distance.

The guards at the gate were very wary of anyone passing by, but when they saw this group of people, they seemed to relax their guard and looked at them curiously.
