Gu Zhang pondered for a long while, hesitating on whether to agree, when he suddenly saw Gu Fei emerge from the pharmacy.
He said to Zhang Ze, "Let me discuss it with my daughter."
He pulled Gu Fei aside and explained the situation.
Gu Fei blinked. "Dad, I think it's a good idea."
"Do you know who that young master is? He's most likely the Prefectural Governor's son."
"Weren't you thinking about hiring people from an escort agency just the other day? The Prefectural Governor's guards are bound to be skilled. Besides, we know their background, and they certainly aren't short on silver, so they won't be coveting our meager grain supply. If they travel with us, it's like getting two bodyguards for free."
Gu Zhang was a little surprised. "He's really the Prefectural Governor's son?"
Gu Fei nodded. "I've seen the lady who was with them that day. It was the governor's wife."
"But, Dad, since they haven't revealed their identities, I think it's best we pretend not to know."
