Jian Yi led his men to the grassland.
"Not far ahead is the large tribe on the grassland," Jian Yi said to Hong Yi.
This time, Hong Yi had volunteered for this mission, and Jing Xuncha didn't object. With Hong Yi around, the chances of rescuing Tule Hao Jia would be much higher.
"First, lead us quietly to get familiar with the terrain, and then we'll discuss the rescue plan," Jian Yi frowned as he looked at the heavily - guarded grassland tribe. He hadn't expected their defenses to be so tight.
"Okay. I have a map here. Let's take a look first and then conduct on - site investigations," Jian Yi took out a topographic map. It was drawn by his master when he first came to the grassland. He never thought he'd have a chance to use it.
Jian Yi explained the overall layout of the grassland to Hong Yi and the others. After they understood, they knew this operation would be very difficult. The only chance to sneak into the large grassland tribe was during the guard change.
"Where's the prison on the grassland?" Hong Yi looked at the map but couldn't find the location of the prison.
"There's no prison on the grassland, only a dungeon," and it was extremely solid.
Hong Yi and the others understood what Jian Yi meant. It was so solid! How could they rescue the people? It would have been okay if there was a prison, but unfortunately, there wasn't on the grassland.
"Shall we set it on fire?" someone suddenly suggested.
The others gave him a disdainful look. "Are you crazy? The dungeon is airtight. What if the people die inside?"
The man looked at them awkwardly and silently closed his mouth. He just forgot about this point. Why were they so fierce?
"What about digging a tunnel?" another person proposed.
"A tunnel would take too long. By the time we finish digging, Tule Hao Jia might have already been tortured to death by the people inside," Hong Yi thought impatiently. These people really didn't use their brains.
The others remained silent. They really couldn't think of any other ways. Setting fire was out of the question, and digging a tunnel was also infeasible. Was there any better solution?
"Let's send a message to our master. They must have a way," Hong Yi thought that if the master didn't have a good idea, the mistress surely would.
"Sending a message by carrier pigeon would take a long time. It's better to send someone directly," they had ridden hard for several days from the Qin Dynasty to get here. Although pigeons flew fast, for such a long journey, it was really better to send someone with good light - body skills to deliver the message day and night.
"No need for pigeons. We have other means of sending messages," Hong Yi led them to a deserted place, whistled into the sky, and soon a small dot flew quickly from afar.
Gradually, the dot grew larger and larger in people's vision. Finally, Jian Yi and the others could see what it was. It was a goshawk.
"This hawk has been specially trained to deliver urgent letters. It can reach the Qin Dynasty from the grassland in one day," Hong Yi explained.
Hong Yi told Jing Xuncha what had happened here, and then the group settled down in a deserted area on the grassland. Their characteristics were too obvious.
If they went to an inn, they would surely be discovered, and then the Grassland King, who was far away in Jincheng of the Qin Dynasty, would soon know.
Sure enough, Jing Xuncha received the letter brought by the goshawk at night. After reading what Hong Yi had written, he frowned tightly. Without hesitation, he immediately went to Mu Fengqie to discuss countermeasures.
"Qie'er, there's a problem with Tule Hao Jia," Jing Xuncha directly told Mu Fengqie about the situation on Hong Yi's side.
"A dungeon?" Mu Fengqie hadn't expected Tule Hao Jia to be in such a situation. "Are the people on the grassland so poor that they won't even build a prison?"
Jing Xuncha smiled helplessly as he watched Mu Fengqie rant. Qie'er, had they focused on the wrong thing? The person was in the dungeon. How could they rescue him?
Fortunately, Mu Fengqie just ranted for a while and soon became serious, carefully thinking about a plan.
"I think we should find someone to disguise as a grasslander and deliver food to Tule Hao Jia, then inform him so that he can be prepared. By the way, A Che, do you still remember the explosives we used to repel the Tule troops? We can blow up that dungeon!"
In this way, they could rescue Tule Hao Jia and also cause quite a bit of trouble for the people on the grassland. Tule Hao Jia and the others could easily escape.
Jing Xuncha thought about Mu Fengqie's plan and found it feasible. "But if the amount of explosives isn't well - controlled, it's easy to hurt other people."
"Don't worry about this. The amount of explosives can be controlled. I'll make them overnight, and they'll be ready tomorrow," Mu Fengqie immediately wrote down the things needed to make the explosives on paper.
Jing Xuncha didn't waste any time and immediately sent someone to prepare them.
The next day, Mu Fengqie made a lot of small, mini - sized explosives. She had tested them in a deserted area last night. They had quite a bit of power but wouldn't hurt people.
Jing Xuncha found a box and carefully put the explosives made by Mu Fengqie into it, along with a letter.
When Hong Yi and the others received the letter, they carefully opened the box. Sure enough, they saw many small explosives in it. Jian Yi looked at the explosives in the box with a complicated expression.
In just one night, Princess Tianlin had made so many explosives. He had witnessed the power of these explosives. Back then, their master had been repelled by these things when attacking the Qin Dynasty.
It seemed that their master was right not to oppose the Qin Dynasty in the future. How could anyone defeat people with such things? The Grassland King was really stupid, but they wouldn't remind him.
It would be great if the Grassland King was killed by Princess Tianlin and the others. It would be just right to eliminate a scourge for the people.
Hong Yi divided the explosives in the box. Some would be used to attract the enemy, some to rescue Tule Hao Jia, and the rest to blow up the Tule troops on the grassland. Since they had come, how could they leave without leaving a "gift" for the people on the grassland?
Fortunately, Mu Fengqie had made some extra explosives in case Hong Yi and the others didn't have enough. Otherwise, it really wouldn't have been enough for Hong Yi's distribution.
"We'll launch the operation tomorrow night. Jian Yi, you disguise as a food - deliverer tonight and find out Tule Hao Jia's exact location," it was a waste not to use a real grasslander.
Why bother to capture a grasslander? It was not only risky but also, if something went wrong, all of them would be buried here.
Jian Yi didn't refuse. He wouldn't feel at ease if someone else did it. He was the only one he trusted to do this.
At night, Jian Yi knocked out a cook, put on his clothes, picked up the food box, and headed for the dungeon.
