Meixiang looked at him in confusion. Why did his words sound sour? Then she laughed at herself for being a little too sensitive, and then turned her head slightly to let Liu Xiaomei, who was holding a cloth, help her wipe it clean.

"How far has the Chen Xiao team progressed now?" Chu Zeming did not notice the slight difference between the two of them just now.

Feng Yizheng, who noticed this, had a dark look in his eyes for a moment and then quickly returned to normal. He knew clearly that he would never have another chance in this life and had warned himself countless times to give up the hopeless thought that would never come true. Then why did he still feel a little lost and deeply jealous of Situ Yidong just now?

"Brother Feng?" Seeing that Feng Yizhen didn't respond, Chu Zeming called him again and teased, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Ah," Feng Yizhen came back to his senses and glanced at Meixiang and Situ Yidong again. His eyes regained clarity and he turned to look at Chu Zeming, saying with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. Please say it again."

Their conversation attracted the attention of Meixiang and Situ Yidong, so Chu Zeming had to repeat what he had just said: "I just asked you, what is the current progress of the Chen Xiao team's itinerary?"

Feng Yizhen thought for a moment after hearing this: "The last time I saw them was half a year ago. They said they had already looked at the terrain and the distribution of trees and vegetation and had already passed through more than half of the forest."

Meixiang and Situ Yidong looked at each other after hearing this, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes. If Chen's team could really successfully pass through the forest as imagined, then they would be even more powerful in this war and have much more confidence.

"How many people are there in their team now? How are they distributed specifically? Have they encountered any difficulties?" Meixiang continued to ask.

"Their team has grown to nearly 500 people over the past two years. Each team consists of 50 people, and each team is responsible for a certain distance. They are helped by Fat Tiger, Little Fat, wild wolves and other small animals. They hardly encounter any other animals." Feng Yizheng looked at Meixiang's face, which flickered in the candlelight, and replied with a heartache.

The supply of the entire team is the responsibility of their household department, so Feng Yizheng knows best about their whereabouts, personnel deployment, etc.

Mei Xiang nodded, turned to Situ Yidong and Doctor Wang and said, "As we go deeper and deeper, we must ensure the manpower and supplies of their team. Maybe this will become a sharp weapon that can penetrate the enemy's heart."

Doctor Wang first glanced at the other three gentlemen, then nodded and said, "We have recently selected a group of people to rotate their teams, and strive to allow all eligible students to go and gain some experience. If I were not too old and unable to walk such a long distance, I would definitely go and broaden my horizons."

"Haha, your wish will definitely come true. You can go anywhere you want." Meixiang looked at Doctor Wang with a smile in her eyes. "Although this idea is good, the candidate must be carefully examined. There can be no mistakes in this matter. Brother Situ Shi has the same request."

"Brother Situ Shi?" Seeing that Situ Yidong was staring at the letter in his hand without any reaction, Meixiang looked at him curiously and asked, "Have you not finished reading the letter? Is there anything else mentioned in it?"

"Oh, you're right, this is really fun." Situ Yidong smiled and said, "Do you still remember the lady Yan from the Second Prince's Mansion?"

Seeing everyone hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, Situ Yidong continued, "I don't know whether they underestimated Madam Yan or overestimated the Second Prince's intelligence. After giving birth, Madam Yan was sent to the ancestral temple as ordered, and the two of them hooked up secretly again."

"In the royal family temple? Doing that in front of the Buddha?" Meixiang screamed in surprise, and her body instinctively grabbed the string of Buddhist beads wrapped around her left wrist and started turning it around. These two people were too bold and simply lawless.

"Ahem," Situ Yidong coughed lightly, avoiding Meixiang's question, "The most outrageous thing is yet to come. That Yan Madam whispered something in the Second Prince's ear, and some strangers quietly sneaked into the Second Prince's Mansion."

"Who discovered this? Someone sent by the palace?" Feng Yizheng asked curiously.

"Cough cough cough..." Situ Yidun coughed even harder upon hearing that.

"What's going on? Can't you just tell me everything in one breath? It's really frustrating."

"Don't interrupt me. I can't finish my sentence in one breath. How can I talk if you always interrupt me?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chu Zeming interrupted them speechlessly, "How old are you? You can still quarrel over such a small matter?"

Feng Yizhen and Situ Yidong, who were bickering, snorted at the same time. Well, he, who was trying to stop the quarrel, became the sinner. What was going on? Chu Zeming touched his nose, closed his mouth, and vowed not to talk too much tonight.

Situ Yidong glanced at everyone present, cleared his throat and continued, "It was the Second Princess who sent the letter through her father and brother under the pretext of visiting the young master of the Chu family and seeking experience for the women in the family. Later, the Emperor personally sent people to investigate, and they actually found a big fish."

After successfully attracting the attention of Meixiang and others, Situ Yidong dropped a bombshell: "The person behind Madam Yan turned out to be a Yin countryman! She hooked up with the Second Prince through her matchmaking."

"Ah?! This is too fantastic, isn't it? Is my second uncle so brave?" Meixiang asked in surprise, looking at the four gentlemen.

"He's not brave enough, but he's really stupid!" Doctor Wang said coldly, stroking his long beard. "Does he think the four great families are just for show?"

"That's right," Situ Yidong continued, "Emperor Wang was pissed off by his stupid son, so he decided to take advantage of the situation and asked us to prepare."

Everyone nodded and sighed over this matter. Situ Yidong turned his head to look at Sun Yu who was sitting next to him, and then remembered another thing mentioned in the letter, "Young Master Sun, there is another thing related to your Sun family. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

Sun Yu, who always played invisible at such times, suddenly raised his head when he found his name was called. The first thought that popped into his mind was which tribe member was seeking death?

"Is it some blind member of the Sun family who got involved?"

Situ Yidong was stunned. "If the Third Prince also makes mistakes in the future, it is not impossible, but this is not the case now."

"What is that?" Sun Yu couldn't imagine what else the Sun family, as businessmen, could be involved in.
