The butler said: "We are a few days late. We need to speed up our journey, otherwise it will be bad when it snows." He frowned and said in a serious tone.

The caravan had to return to the Great Zhou before the first snow fell, otherwise they would be trapped in Tubo and unable to move forward if the snow blocked the mountains. In such severe cold weather, if they were trapped in the deserted mountains, the consequences would be unimaginable and they could only leave it to fate.

Team Leader Yang nodded, indicating understanding. "Yes, so we'll stay here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning." In the past, when there was more time, the caravan would choose to stay here for two more days to allow everyone to rest and recuperate. However, now that time was running out, they could no longer afford to delay.

The butler patted Captain Yang on the shoulder and consoled him, "Leave early and return to Da Zhou soon. We'll have a nice drink next time we come." Captain Yang looked at the butler gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding."

The butler continued, "Okay, okay. But this time, a family wants to follow your caravan to Da Zhou." Team leader Yang was not surprised by this, as similar situations had happened before.

He nodded calmly and said, "Oh." Obviously, he was already used to this kind of thing.

Some of these people came with their caravan from the Great Zhou, while others came from Tubo. When traveling, strength lies in numbers; this is the only way to ensure safety. For those who are weak and alone, they rely more on the strength of the caravan.

They naturally helped as much as they could. After all, when you are in a foreign land, everyone may encounter difficulties and dangers, and helping each other is the way to survive.

The butler said, "Okay, I'll send someone to invite them over to meet you. The journey is long, so I hope you can take good care of them."

Team Leader Yang: "Don't worry, Steward. As long as we can safely reach the Great Zhou, they will naturally have no problems."

The butler was very satisfied with Team Leader Yang's confident and responsible attitude, and nodded slightly to show his approval.

Because they have been dealing with each other for more than a year or two, he is still confident in Team Leader Yang's abilities.

Then he turned around and told the attendants around him to invite the guests to come and meet him.

Not long after, Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong came slowly under the guidance of Yangjin.

The chief steward hurried forward and introduced Zhu Qingqing, "Madam, this is Captain Yang of the caravan. He will be in charge of the rest of the journey. If you need anything along the way, please feel free to ask him for help. Captain Yang, this is Madam Zhu. She and her family are traveling to the Great Zhou."

Zhu Qingqing: "Thank you, Captain Yang, for your trouble." She nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

Team leader Yang: "You're welcome, madam. But let me make this clear in advance: if you come with our caravan, you must obey the caravan's arrangements and not act on your own." His tone was serious and earnest, revealing the importance and caution he attached to this trip.

Zhu Qingqing: "Of course. Professional matters will naturally be handled by professionals. I will definitely control my family and obey the instructions of the caravan." She is well aware of the importance of teamwork, especially in such business activities, where everyone needs to abide by the rules and obey the overall arrangements.

Zhu Qingqing, having participated in an expedition in her previous life, understood the importance of team unity. She knew that within a team, everyone should play their role and not act arbitrarily. If anyone tried to go their own way and cause trouble, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble for the entire team, potentially leading to disastrous consequences. Only by working together and following orders could the journey be smooth and safe.

Team Leader Yang looked at Zhu Qingqing deeply again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This lady is a very reasonable person!"

On this long trade route, what they worry about most is encountering those who disobey orders and are self-righteous.

These people often like to stir up trouble out of nothing and bring a lot of trouble to the caravan.

Their behavior would not only disrupt the caravan's carefully planned itinerary, but would also waste precious time.

Moreover, sometimes it may trigger some unexpected crises, putting the entire caravan in trouble.

As the leader of the caravan, Yang is fully aware that he shoulders the important responsibility of ensuring the safety and interests of the entire team.

Therefore, he decided to be clear in advance and be honest about all possible problems and risks.

In this way, if someone fails to comply with the regulations or deliberately causes trouble, he can take decisive measures to ensure the smooth progress of the caravan.

Now that both parties have reached a consensus, things will be much easier.

Team Leader Yang: "Mrs. Zhu, we are leaving early tomorrow morning. Are you ready?"

Zhu Qingqing: "We are ready. We will meet you tomorrow morning and follow your arrangements."

"Okay, then we'll meet at the village post tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM."

Team leader Yang said goodbye and left first.

The butler also followed Zhu Qingqing back to the backyard. He wanted to check again to see if there was anything missed.
