After learning of these unpublished pieces of information from Feng Yuan, the patrolling officer asked him appreciatively if there was anything he needed help with. Not to mention his status, just the information he shared was quite useful for their patrols.
After all, before any official decision is made, these deployment adjustments aren't directly handed to them. Knowing in advance means they can fully prepare. As for whether plans will change?
That isn't really a big issue. At least, if things stay mostly unchanged as Feng Yuan mentioned, then it's unlikely there will be any changes. Also, judging by how Feng Yuan knows these details, he's probably not an outsider. After all, his classmates aren't aware of the Great Xia's official coordination over the entire archaeological operation.
