He is aware of this as well, telling Zhongli Mei that "[he does] look a little suspicious on the outside."
Personality[]

Mohists and their Allies[]
Although Han Xin interceded on Gao Jianli and Da Tie Chi's behalf twice in the village that Bai Tu was scouring, the two don't trust him even though Gao Jianli believes it would be better if he was their friend. When he asks them to go to Zhongli Mei's aid, they instead ask why they should, especially considering that Zhongli Mei was serving the Qin Empire. Seeing that he wouldn't be able to acquire their assistance, he turns his attention to Long Ju.
