"Lord Governor, I'm afraid the idea of breaking the dike to flood the bandits wasn't your idea but rather Elder Yan's, wasn't it?" Mr. Xu revealed bluntly.
Chu Ge couldn't help but be taken aback, and a complex expression immediately appeared on his face.
There was some delight, as he had not expected Mr. Xu to pinpoint the purpose of the plan from just the phrase "break the dike to flood the bandits" and even link it to Elder Yan; but there was also worry about being in a quandary about advancing or retreating; of course, there was also a bit of anticipation, hoping that Mr. Xu could provide a different answer.
Of course, as Governor Lin occupied a high position and was a man who didn't let his emotions show, Chu Ge had to express these emotions through subtle changes in his facial expressions, very implicitly.
This was actually a very clever acting technique, but Chu Ge executed it just right, not a bit too much or too little.
