Chapter 69 - 63 Psychological Problems
Mr. Chen does not fear gentlemen, only villains, but compared to gentlemen and villains, he prefers to engage in transactions with smart people like Zhao Hanzhang.
Gentlemen can be friends but are not suited for business dealings, especially since the deal they’re discussing carries a certain level of ambiguity.
Zhao Hanzhang is not lacking in cunning; she will strive to protect them, father and daughter alike, even just for the sake of provisions, to help them reunite with the army.
Mr. Chen has thought it through well; after casting out tempting bait, Zhao Hanzhang pulls back with Zhao Ju to discuss the people who will escort Mr. Chen tomorrow, "Tomorrow morning, Ji Ping will lead twenty people to escort Mr. Chen to catch up with the army. I will put together some money for them to buy as many provisions as possible."
Zhao Ju looked disapproving, "Third Sister, Ji Ping is a centurion; his unit is the most elite. He should stay to protect you and Second Son."
"Aren’t you still here?" Zhao Hanzhang said, "Moreover, I have not planned for Zhao Dian and the others to leave tomorrow; they need to stagger their departure to give Ji Ping the opportunity to bring back the provisions."
"But just now you and Zhao Dian were so displeased, will he follow your orders?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "He must follow. With our great-granduncle and uncle not here, I am the person in charge of the Zhao Family; he can only listen to me."
Zhao Hanzhang raised her eyes to look at him, "Without my orders, only if our great-granduncle and uncle were here, and they gave orders, would you dare not listen?"
Zhao Ju thought about it, realizing he truly wouldn’t dare defy them, so he lowered his head and said, "I will go and arrange it now."
