Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Chapter 206 Decision

Zhu Qingqing followed behind Shopkeeper Yang, and the two of them walked towards the front hall together. Meanwhile, Yang San, seeing this, hurriedly threw down the spatula in his hand, gave a few simple instructions to the others, and quickly followed their steps.

At this moment, Mrs. Luo was secretly delighted. The thought of returning to the capital and soon being able to see her beloved children made her face overflow with a happy smile. She murmured to herself, "That's great! I can finally go home to see my babies!"

Soon, Zhu Qingqing and the others arrived at the front hall. They saw Father Zhu, Mother Zhu, Zhu Yingying, Wang Xiangdong, and Yu Bo already waiting there. Yang Wu and Yang Jiu also stood nearby, observing the group with serious expressions. Even more striking was the presence of a travel-weary young man in the hall. Judging by his attire and demeanor, he must be the messenger from the prefectural capital that Shopkeeper Yang had mentioned.

Seeing that everyone was present, Team Leader Yang cleared his throat and began to describe the current situation in detail. After he explained everything one by one,

Zhu Qingqing then understood why they were in such a hurry to call them.

Team Leader Yang finally said solemnly to Doctor Zhu, "Doctor Zhu, I'm truly eager to return to the capital. Firstly, I hope to relieve some of the pressure on my father. Secondly, no one knows how long this war will last, and our Yang family has many matters to attend to... So, I wonder if it's feasible to set off tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Team Leader Yang's anxiety, but at the same time, he also showed a look of concern. He asked, "I understand your thoughts. I wonder how many days it will take to reach the provincial capital. Are the roads along the way smooth and easy to travel?"

Team Leader Yang said solemnly, "If I hadn't been injured and had galloped all the way on a fast horse, two days would have been more than enough, and at most three days would have been enough to reach our destination. However, in this situation, we can only rely on carriages to move forward. Judging from the current speed, I'm afraid it will take at least six or seven days to arrive!"

At this moment, Yang Wu hurriedly interrupted, "Not only that, Second Brother, we have to cross two huge mountains along the way! The mountain road is winding and rugged, and sitting in the carriage will definitely be bumpy. Can your body handle it?"

After hearing this, Team Leader Yang waved his hand and answered firmly: "It's okay, I can still withstand this little difficulty." After that, he cast an expectant look at Mr. Zhu.

Father Zhu thought for a moment, then responded, "It's not a bad idea to set off tomorrow, but we must be fully prepared beforehand. In my opinion, why don't we split into two groups? Captain Yang, you can select some skilled and agile individuals to lead our family ahead. We should keep our luggage minimal and travel light, heading straight for the capital at full speed. As for the rest of the caravan, they will be responsible for escorting the goods and can depart later."

Team Leader Yang nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "That's exactly what I was thinking!" He then began to call out names, nominating Yang Wu, Yang Jiu, Li Quan, Zhao Peng, and two other experienced escorts to accompany them. The remaining personnel were handed over to Shopkeeper Yang for unified command, leading them to escort the goods and slowly follow.

Everyone agreed.

Yang San also wanted to follow the first team, but if he left, there would be no one to cook, so he had to swallow his words.

Zhu Qingqing: "Since we have decided to set off early tomorrow morning, let's eat quickly. After dinner, I will prepare some dry food to take with us on the road, so that we don't have to waste time on the journey just to eat."

Team Leader Yang bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Master Zhu."

Then he turned around and told the shopkeeper Yang, "Bring up a few jars of wine, so that everyone can have a good drink and a good meal. After that, go back to your business."

"Yes, Second Master."

So everyone set up a table in the hall, and Mrs. Luo brought people to serve the food. Then everyone gathered together and had a meal that was both a welcome meal and a farewell meal.
