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."
