After dinner, everyone sat together at the conference table in the north courtyard hall to drink tea. This has become a daily routine in the Liu Mansion. When there is something to talk about, everyone will talk about it. When there is nothing to do, they will drink a cup of tea quietly together and then go to rest.

However, today's meeting was rushed, and it took an hour for everyone to arrive. Looking at Situ Yidong, whose face was covered in sweat due to his hurry to get on the road, and the four old gentlemen whose faces had obviously turned pale, Meixiang couldn't help but feel moved.

Glancing again at Doctor Wang's slightly trembling hands holding the tea bowl, Meixiang sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart. How could she be so worthy to have such a group of friends who were wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Seeing Meixiang, who had anxiously gathered them all together and remained silent for a long time, Situ Yidong wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked at Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen, who looked like they were in a lawsuit, and asked curiously, "Sister Xiang'er, what happened? Why are you calling us all back at this time?"

Everyone raised their heads when they heard this, and for a moment all eyes were focused on Meixiang.

"This is a letter from the capital that we just received today. Everyone, please take a look at it first." Meixiang turned her head to meet everyone's gaze, then handed the letter that she had been holding in her hand to Situ Yidong, who was sitting on her left.

Today, the beautiful woman did not return to her room as usual, nor did she sit at the conference table with Meixiang and others. Instead, she sat in her usual seat, holding a tea bowl, and quietly watched Meixiang and others with Nanny Chen, wanting to calm the situation for her daughter.

Situ Yidun quickly read the letter, looked up at Meixiang in disbelief, then lowered his head to read it carefully again before handing it to Doctor Wang on his left, and then fell into deep thought.

Meixiang's gaze kept moving between different people in the room as the letter was passed around, until the letter returned to her hands again, and during that time she received everyone's surprised looks without exception.

"Xiang'er, I have to admire you young people!" Doctor Wang exclaimed, looked up and rubbed his face, trying hard to wipe away the fatigue on his face and the shock in his heart.

Except for Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and other four young people in the room, Doctor Wang's words expressed their common thoughts. What really shocked them more than the news in the letter was Meixiang and others' ability to predict the situation.

Last year, Meixiang and others had already sent news to the capital in advance based on the vague premonition in their hearts. From that time on, the entire Liuzhou Prefecture began to make various preparations for this unknown war.

To be honest, although they have always attached great importance to Meixiang and will try to complete the task with quality and quantity after the agreement, they have been hesitant about this matter. They feel that it is a bit of an overreaction to make such a fuss and mobilize so many troops for a vague feeling.

The information in the letter not only calmed their troubled hearts, but also made them admire Meixiang and the other four younger generations' ability to push forward the old generation. They were also secretly glad that their actions were not compromised by the doubts in their hearts.

"Master, your words are a bit self-deprecating. It can only be said that we are a bit reckless like a newborn calf who is still afraid to let go of a tiger." Meixiang replied with a smile, and at the same time, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"You're so reckless, so clever." Doctor Dou slapped his thigh with his right hand and interrupted, "Do you really think that our great Haoyue Dynasty can be crushed by a heavy snow? You still want to take advantage of us to rob us, you really don't know your own limitations."

"This time we must make sure they never return, so that they will remember this lesson and stay in their lair obediently from now on." Doctor Shi, who has always been taciturn, also joined the expedition this time.

Meixiang looked at Dr. Shi in surprise, then shook her head secretly in her heart. It seems that men's warlike nature is indeed age-neutral.

"The main reason I invited everyone here today is to let everyone know the situation first, so that they can have a clear idea of ​​what's going on." Meixiang glanced at the excited men and women in the room and continued.

"After a period of preparation, everyone should now give a brief report on the specific progress of the tasks in their respective hands. If there are any difficulties, please also raise them and brainstorm to find solutions. We must be ready to welcome the battle at any time."

Everyone's heart tightened when they heard this, and their pupils shrank rapidly. The word "war" deeply stimulated everyone's heart, especially those who had experienced the baptism of war, such as Doctor Wang, Master Ou, Old Man Luo, and Luo Sheng.

He took a serious look, picked up the tea bowl on the table, took two sips of cold tea, and began to report the progress of his work one by one. When it was Luo Sheng's turn, his vocal cords tightened several times, and his tone could not help but be choked. The old man Luo sitting next to him sighed secretly and reached out to gently stroke his back.

Luo Sheng looked at Old Man Luo gratefully, shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine, then looked into Meixiang's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Miss, I think the biggest problem now is that all our preparations are based on conventions and our own impressions, and we lack specific and detailed information about the current situation in Yin Country."

Hearing this, Meixiang couldn't help but look at Situ Yidong, "Brother Situ, what do you think about this issue?"

Situ Yidong was very satisfied with the instinctive glance that Meixiang had just given him. Does this mean that sister Xiang'er has begun to rely on him?

I didn't dare to ask Meixiang for confirmation directly, so I had to clench my right fist and put it to my mouth and coughed lightly, suppressing the corners of my mouth that were curled up, and pretended to be calm and replied: "Luo Sheng is right, the letter only said that there was an unusual movement in the Hidden Country, and we know very little about the situation on the other side of the mountain."

Everyone's heart tightened again after hearing this. The key to fighting a war is to know both yourself and the enemy. How can we have fun if we can't even know the enemy?

"So, when sister Xiang'er and brother Chu Shi came up with the idea, brother Sun and I sent people to pretend to be a business caravan and entered the other side of the back mountain. The last letter said that they had found a way to sneak in. It should be about time for news again." Situ Yidun and Sun Yu exchanged a tacit look and added calmly.

After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved. Of course, the careful Meixiang and others did not overlook the seemingly inadvertent change in the way Situ Yidong addressed Sun Yu.

"You kid, when did you learn to breathe heavily when you speak? You don't learn good habits, but you learn bad habits very quickly." Doctor Wang scolded with a smile.

"Hahaha...I just think the atmosphere is a bit too depressing."
