But that doesn't matter, Zhao Xian is already thinking about how to deal with the people here.
We have successfully entered the breeding farm, and our objective has been achieved.
This was not a place to stay for long; there were important matters to arrange upon returning. With that thought in mind, he led his group away.
To make it look more authentic, they all vied to ride yaks as soon as they stepped out of the gate. One of them, however, was so fierce that it threw the rider off as soon as he got on, which made the farm's caretakers burst into laughter.
As dusk approached, Zhao Xian and the others returned and immediately began their discussion.
Prefect Jin told them that the people who came from Yuanshui had entered Yuanxi, arriving a day earlier than expected.
More than a hundred slaves disguised as soldiers have entered the mining area in batches, and they are still in contact with the outside world.
The current situation is very unfavorable to us. It will be difficult for those who have entered the mining area to get out, and their contact with the outside world is easily cut off. We must make a decision as soon as possible.
The reinforcements brought by Bao Ping have entered the government office and are resting.
Upon hearing this, Li Xue quickly had someone invite Bao Ping over, as she had something important to discuss with him.
Soon Bao Ping arrived at the council hall. After he briefly introduced himself, Li Xue immediately began to explain the situation there.
In fact, Prefect Jin had already told Bao Ping about these situations, and he also found them very troublesome and was considering how to deal with them.
"You've entered the yak farm and conducted reconnaissance there. How's the situation?" Bao Ping asked.
"The place is heavily guarded. Through reconnaissance, we found that it is actually a military camp with at least five or six hundred well-trained soldiers. If we don't deal with these people, it will be difficult to take over the jade mine."
Even if the mining area is temporarily captured, the jade mine will be lost again as soon as reinforcements from the breeding farm arrive, resulting in total annihilation. Li Xue's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
"Please do not panic, everyone. I have a plan. Now I can notify those who have entered the mining area to prepare for action after 4 a.m. The signal for action will be the sound of the explosion at the farm."
Zhao Xian's words shocked everyone present; they had no idea what he meant.
At this moment, Li Xue was very excited. She knew that Zhao Xian had bombs, which would definitely be enough to deal with the troops in the breeding farm. She still vividly remembered the scene of them using bombs to blow up the wolf pack that night.
Regardless of whether the others understood or not, Li Xue spoke:
"Sir, please tell me your specific method."
Zhao Xian then explained his plan in detail, and everyone finally understood what was going on, but they found it incredible because they had never seen what a bomb was before.
"In general, tonight's operation will be carried out in three steps. The first step is to burn down the military camp and fodder in the breeding farm, as these are highly flammable materials that will be impossible to extinguish once started."
If a fire breaks out in the military camp, most of the soldiers will be burned to death, and those who survive will escape through the gate of the farm.
We bombed them, and after one round of bombing, they were basically incapacitated. The rest were easy to deal with.
Because it was late at night and quiet, the sound of the explosion would travel far, even reaching the mining area, allowing people there to take action.
Then, the people here can bring bombs to reinforce the area, and with their help from inside and outside, they can quickly take over the mining area.
Zhao Xian, fearing they hadn't understood, repeated himself.
"Princess, there is another important matter that needs your attention."
"Okay, tell me quickly."
"We don't have many bombs on hand right now. I need to quickly manufacture a batch because we need them urgently tonight. I have to leave now and won't be back for another hour."
The princess explained the details of the ranch to those involved in the night's operation, ensuring they were familiar with its layout, and instructed them to set it on fire that night.
“Okay, I understand. Leave this to me, I’ll take care of it,” Li Xue said.
Seeing that things were more or less settled, Zhao Xian left with Zhao Cheng.
Zao Xian arranged for Zhao Cheng to drive to a secluded place with several abandoned houses.
He told Zhao Cheng that he was going to make some bombs here for use at night, and asked Zhao Cheng to stand guard outside and not let anyone in to disturb him.
Zhao Cheng accepted the order and stood guard outside. He knew that Zhao Xian's bomb-making was extremely dangerous and that no one was allowed to be nearby.
In fact, Zhao Xian didn't need to make bombs at all; he could have just bought them from the system. He did this only to cover his tracks and not want anyone to know his secret. He couldn't even tell Zhao Cheng.
After considering it for a while, Zhao Xian first bought some incendiary bombs from the system and then modified them.
He installed a timer on the incendiary bomb so that it would explode and burn at a predetermined time.
This work requires great care and is also somewhat dangerous.
However, this was not difficult for him at all; it just took some time.
After doing this, he bought some more bombs. Looking at the time, he realized that an hour had passed and it was getting dark.
Zhao Xian loaded the items onto the carriage and then called Zhao Cheng over.
Zhao Cheng was very excited to see that there were many more things on the carriage, so he drove the carriage back to the government office.
At this moment, Li Xue and the others were still in the council hall. They were all very anxious, but when they saw Zhao Xian return, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, have all the necessary items been manufactured?" Li Xue asked.
"Everything is ready, enough for tonight's use. Is everything arranged here?"
"It's all arranged. More than sixty people will participate in the operation tonight. They are already familiar with the farm and are just waiting for your instructions."
“Okay, let’s go outside now and teach them how to use incendiary bombs and explosives. These things aren’t difficult, but they can’t make mistakes, or they’ll blow themselves up.”
Next, Zhao Xian gathered everyone together and taught them how to use incendiary bombs and explosives.
Actually, there aren't any complicated operating methods for these things; a little guidance is all you need. The main concern is safety.
It's still early before midnight, so they need to wait patiently.
At this moment, Zhao Xian remembered something, looked at Prefect Jin, and asked:
"We arrested three foreigners at noon. Did anyone go to Taiyuan Restaurant this afternoon?"
"Indeed, two people went to the restaurant in the afternoon. They went straight upstairs and were not seen coming down."
After a while, Xiao Taiyuan also returned to the restaurant. He had come from the mining area and did not come down after going upstairs.
Before long, someone came out of the restaurant, presumably to search for the three missing foreigners.
"Our men are still keeping an eye on Taiyuan Restaurant. They've noticed that the two men and Xiao Taiyuan haven't left. Since they haven't left at this hour, they probably won't leave tonight," Prefect Jin said.
