The Seventeenth Master's Courtyard in Ganzhou.
Seventeenth Master held a map and spoke to Duo Lu, his words revealing excitement and anticipation.
"At least our efforts weren't in vain, and the location of the gold mine is basically confirmed. Next, all we need to do is find a way to wipe out the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, and we can take over the gold mine in Ganzhou. Then Fourth Brother won't have anything to worry about." Seventeenth Brother said with great satisfaction, and then boldly ordered his attendant, "Go, bring some wine! I want to have a good drink with Lord Duolong..."
Duolong, beaming with joy, clasped his hands in congratulations to the Seventeenth Prince: "Your Highness, I wish you a great victory in your campaign against the White Lotus Sect..." The Seventeenth Prince nodded, patted Duolong on the shoulder, and took the wine cup handed to him by a servant, saying, "Good... well said... Lord Duolong has made a great contribution in securing the location of the gold mine this time. Here... this cup of wine is for you!"
After saying that, the Seventeenth Master drank it all in one gulp and showed the empty bowl to Duolong.
Duolong, not to be outdone, also downed his drink in one gulp. The two of them threw their heads back and laughed heartily.
"Your Highness, the most urgent matter now is to inform Fourth Master of the progress of the gold mine. Please send troops to help us wipe out the heretics!" Duolong put down his wine cup and said.
Seventeenth Master also felt that we couldn't wait any longer and nodded in agreement: "That's right! We can only launch a full-scale attack before the enemy can react. If the enemy discovers this and develops a countermeasure, we will be at a disadvantage."
Seventeen pondered for a moment, then walked to his desk, picked up his brush, and quickly wrote a letter. Duolong brought over the carrier pigeon. Seventeen skillfully rolled up the letter and placed it in the letter box beside the pigeon's feet. He then went to the window to see the pigeon off in flight…
A few days later, the Seventeenth Prince received a reply from the Fourth Prince and urgently summoned Duolong. Seeing that the Seventeenth Prince didn't seem pleased with the reply, Duolong sensed something was wrong and cautiously inquired, "What did the Fourth Prince say in his reply? Is there anything he's worried about?"
Seventeen showed the letter to Duolong, took a sip of tea, and said in silence, "Fourth Brother is unwilling to send troops early. He wants us to observe secretly and act when the opportunity arises!"
The Fourth Prince's reply that he was unwilling to launch an attack on this side made the Seventeenth Prince feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Duolong carefully read the reply, pondered for a moment, and said, "Seventeenth Prince, I think Fourth Prince's idea is not without reason. If we make too much noise in Ganzhou, it will inevitably attract the attention of Fourteenth Prince, which will backfire. If we push too hard, and Fourteenth Prince abandons everything to raise an army and rebel, then it will probably be something we cannot control!"
Seventeen was much calmer now, and his expression softened. He said helplessly, "Fourth Brother's concerns are valid. We can only send people to keep a close eye on things. I thought we were about to make a big splash."
Seeing that the Seventeenth Prince seemed rather downcast, Duolong advised, "Fourth Prince, you should still be cautious and prudent in your actions, and consider the overall situation. If everyone were like the Seventeenth Prince, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anything in this world that couldn't be resolved with a single battle. Hahahaha..."
Seventeen laughed and said, "Lord Duolong, please don't make fun of me. I don't have the same thoughts as Fourth Brother. I just want to help Fourth Brother resolve the gold mine issue as soon as possible so that he has no worries. Whatever Fourth Brother says, I will do."
"Therefore, the Prince is the person Fourth Master trusts the most. With a capable assistant like Seventeenth Prince, Fourth Master will surely achieve great things in the future!" Seventeenth Prince nodded and instructed Duolong, "Lord Duolong, please keep a close eye on things and follow Fourth Brother's arrangements!"
"I will take care of it..." Duolong accepted the order and withdrew.
