Quick mission: We don't make trouble

There was still some time before Mao Shang, so Zhu Qingqing couldn't wait to lead her whole family over.

The butler had already thoughtfully prepared two spacious and comfortable carriages and three strong and sturdy horses for them.

Father Zhu, Wang Xiangdong, and Yu Bo all mounted their horses, while Mother Zhu, along with sisters Zhu Qingqing and Wu Di, boarded one of the carriages. The interior was covered in thick fur blankets, so soft that even sitting or lying in them felt comfortable.

The other carriage was filled with food, water, and some clothes. This way, when Zhu Dad and the others got tired of riding, they could take turns resting in the carriage.

The steward had been thoughtful enough to prepare some small change for them, just in case. Although it was only a mere one hundred taels, it was enough to cover most situations.

Zhu Qingqing divided the money evenly, ensuring that everyone had some money. Even the young Wu Di received a full five taels of silver.

Wu Di excitedly declared: "This is the starting capital for my future fortune!"

Her words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

As soon as their carriage arrived, Leader Yang immediately placed it in the center of the caravan and called two coachmen to drive it.

This arrangement is indeed quite appropriate, and both the front and the rear can receive thoughtful care.

Although Zhu Qingqing and his companions had mastered the skills of riding horses, they were not good at driving a carriage. Now that someone was specially assigned to drive the carriage, they were naturally very happy, as it could save them a lot of trouble.

Everything was ready, and they set off on their journey amid the reluctant farewells of the chief steward, Yangjin, Dawa and others.

Although they enjoy delicious food and comfortable living here, this is not their home after all. They are determined to go to Da Zhou to find their true home and create a bright and beautiful future.

Because it was still dark outside and there was nothing to see, several female relatives stayed in the carriage and chatted. As the carriage swayed, Wu Di fell asleep first, leaning on his grandmother's arms.

Zhu Yingying also yawned and said, "Sister, I took a nap."

As he said this, he closed his eyes.

Zhu Qingqing: "Mom, put Didi down and you can take a break. I'll go watch outside."

As he said this, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, sat next to the driver and started chatting with him.

Having slept late last night and woke up early this morning, Mother Zhu was also feeling a little sleepy, so she closed her eyes and rested while holding Didi.

Zhu Qingqing turned around and saw Wang Xiangdong riding beside her. She asked, "Where are my dad and Yu Bo?"

Wang Xiangdong quickly replied, "I'm worried that Uncle and Yu Bo might not be able to handle it, so I'll let them rest in the carriage at the back. We'll let them ride on horseback after daybreak. After all, Uncle is old, and Yu Bo has only just learned to ride, so they're not familiar with the road conditions in this area. So safety is paramount."

Zhu Qingqing thought it made sense and thought that her father was old and it would be safer for him to ride in a carriage.

"Old Geng, you really think of everything!" she praised.

Wang Xiangdong smiled and said, "As a guard, I naturally have to take all these issues into consideration."

Zhu Qingqing nodded in approval: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Geng."

Wang Xiangdong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this is all part of my job." After that, he rode his horse forward, as if to explore the way and check the situation.

Zhu Qingqing sat next to the coachman, chatting with him and asking about the customs and habits of the Great Zhou.

Because the current Zhou Dynasty is different from any dynasty in history, it is better to learn more about it in preparation for the future.

The driver was very talkative and had seen a lot of the world.

Knowing that Zhu Qingqing and the others had returned from the far west to trace their roots, I couldn't help but admire them.

He answered all of Zhu Qingqing's questions and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
