Prince Dai was pleased that Li Chuan had a change of heart and once again became his confidant. However, he did not know that Li Chuan had long revealed the situation in Jizhou, including the defense map of Jizhou, to the Eighth Prince.
His fief of Jizhou had long been under the control of the Eighth Prince.
"Your Highness, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Prince Dai and Marquis Xuanping are no match for the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen," said Kong Yuan.
"Duke Zhen is cunning and crafty, and there are few who can match him," the Eighth Prince sneered. "Even ten Marquis Xuanping would be no match for him."
"Your Highness, did the Emperor appoint the Fourth Prince because he sees that Marquis Xuanping and Prince Dai are not capable of dealing with Duke Zhen?"
"Precisely." The Eighth Prince furrowed his brows slightly, his face cold. "Duke Zhen is not easy to deal with."
"Your Highness, could the Fourth Prince and the Li Family possibly be a match for Duke Zhen?"
