Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 892

This official was none other than Chen Zhi, the top military strategist working under Crown Prince Hua. Chen Zhi was highly intelligent and held a prestigious position, on par with Crown Prince Hua himself. Even Princess Hua Yingying, a member of the imperial family, had to show him some respect."

Chen Zhi was well aware that being by the prince's side was like living with a lion. Although he was grateful to Crown Prince Hua for his current position, he always maintained a clear understanding of his role. He adhered to proper etiquette in public and only allowed himself to be more familiar with the members of the Hua family in private.

Hua Yingying immediately realized her mistake and started pouting sulkily.

Chen Zhi could only smile helplessly and said, "You underestimate the cunning of the Crown Prince. His display of goodwill towards Chu Feng is merely to garner support from the Chu family, specifically to display his loyalty to Chu Tianxiong, the God of Slaughter. None of us expected that Chu Tianxiong would personally take action and kill Su Rui, effectively crushing the Martial Arts Alliance just for Chu Feng, an illegitimate child!"

Then, he continued solemnly, "If Crown Prince Hua cannot resolve this matter properly, it will not bode well for us as it would anger Chu Tianxiong."

Hua Yingying furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction and scoffed, "Hmph! Are we, the Imperial Hua Family, who have boasted a long lineage of 300 years, afraid of someone like Chu Tianxiong?"

Chen Zhi's expression turned grave. "He conquered 17 countries and single-handedly maintained peace in Donghua for 20 years. Have you not seen how the Su family has remained silent after Chu Tianxiong killed Su Rui? Besides, he also commands an army with a million soldiers under his thumb in Donghua. He has a status as mighty as the late emperor. As long as he is alive, the Crown Prince will never have a chance to rise to power."
