Within the Bamboo Heaven Cave, Yi Chen sat opposite King Jing.
Between the two of them, there lay a chessboard resembling Xiangqi, complete with Chariots, Horses, and Elephants.
"Your Highness, trust in my judgment, no matter how ingenious the scheme, there will always be clever people who notice the spider's threads and horse tracks."
"Therefore, rather than having our flaws pointed out by others, let's set the tempo ourselves."
"Your Highness, you start by spreading the word that I'm intentionally concealing my talent, then debunk it yourself. I have already highlighted all the details and informed Your Highness."
First shoot the arrow, then draw the target, this was Yi Chen's current tactic.
The 'easter eggs' he hid during the great battle were truly plentiful; just a slight guidance in the rhythm, and there would be plenty of busybodies to debate for him, ultimately overwhelmed by an onslaught of information.
