It's been more than a month since the last time I went on a delivery mission.

The torrential rain delayed the journey for half a month, and the road has only just been cleared. Even if there were darts ahead, we still couldn't get through.

Upon exiting the courtyard, they saw that the two Yang brothers had arrived, each leading a horse.

"Brother Yang, Second Brother Yang, we're having dinner at home, please come in quickly."

"That's what Boss Qiao said enthusiastically."

He turned to his family and said, "Prepare bowls and chopsticks for Brother Yang and Second Brother Yang, and bring up that jar of Grandma's Delight."

Normally, the men of the Qiao family don't drink at noon, but only in the evening, since they have to work. But now that the Yang brothers have come, how can they not have a good drink and enjoy themselves?

The Yang brothers were in a hurry and hadn't eaten breakfast. When they smelled the aroma of food coming from the Qiao family's house, their stomachs immediately started rumbling.

The two were rough men who traveled the world and didn't care about formalities. When they arrived at their brother's house, even if there was no meal available, they would still ask the brother to cook for them.

"Alright, since there's food, my brother won't stand on ceremony." Boss Yang laughed heartily.

Seeing this small, dilapidated courtyard, I was a little surprised. It turns out that the Qiao family used to have such a hard life. Fortunately, they were building a house in the back, and it looked quite large. Looking at the bricks, tiles, and timber, they were all bought at the best quality.

It can be estimated that it would have cost at least five hundred taels of silver to build that large courtyard for the Qiao family.

Sometimes a person's low point can last for many years, even generations, but when fortune turns, it happens suddenly, and all good luck comes rushing in, unstoppable.

The two brothers introduced themselves to everyone, greeted each person, and then took their seats in a lively atmosphere.

Qiao Laosan opened the wine jar, filled it with wine for them, and each of the men in the Qiao family had a bowl.

In the blink of an eye, the wine jar was half empty.

"With torrential rain and traffic jams, everyone's been doing alright this past month," said Boss Qiao.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine. The road is open, and everything is back to normal."

The Qiao family knew that the two brothers must have come with work to do, and they wanted to greet them in the best possible condition.

"Brother Yang, Second Brother Yang, have you been running missions lately?"

Yang Lao Er waved his hand: "After the heavy rain, the roads in the southern part of Yuezhou were badly damaged. It took two days to fully clear all the major sections. I heard that the section from Yongguan County to your village was the most severely damaged. We thought there was no way to pass through. We came here to try our luck, but we didn't expect to have a smooth journey."

Boss Yang continued, "Of course there's a task, otherwise why would I come to you guys to do it, just to freeload a meal?"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

"That's right. This time, I'm responsible for escorting a shipment worth 50,000 taels of silver. We'll not only go to the border, but also head east into the Kui Niu Kingdom. We'll travel 300 li within the Kui Niu Kingdom before reaching our destination."
