Chapter 2612: Chapter 2612: Let Them Wait a Little Longer

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant takes his leave."

Eunuch Fu had no choice but to respond and retreat.

He just wondered, was there any Emperor like his, who didn’t need the Chief Head Eunuch to serve him in his daily life? Even the concubines in the harem wanted a palace maid to feed them whenever they ate something.

But his Emperor? He didn’t even want to pass him a dish, making him feel very useless as the Chief Eunuch.

...

Early in the morning, Lord Qi brought Qi Heng and waited outside Master Ji’s residence.

The secret guards naturally knew long ago, but since the master hadn’t spoken, they just let the two outside wait until the people inside the residence needed to go out, then they would let them in.

As for Master Ji...

"I’ll go fetch him."

One secret guard said, and then quickly left to find someone at the Government Office.

Soon, Master Ji was fetched to the residence, and when his feet touched the ground, he felt like his legs weren’t his own, and his head was spinning.

"Ar...arrived?"

When he opened his eyes, he couldn’t even see clearly where this place was, all yellow in front of him.

It was terrifying. He couldn’t understand how those people who fly over walls felt, but now he finally felt it, and it was too uncomfortable.

"Arrived, those two are just outside the door," said the secret guard.

"Wait, wait."

Upon hearing this, Master Ji thought the secret guard was going to welcome Lord Qi in now and quickly called him back.

Let him rest for a while. His head was dizzy, his vision blurred, and his feet unsteady. In this state, meeting guests clearly lacked the momentum to crush the other side!

"Let them wait a while longer, I’ll... go rest first."

He decided that until the grain issue was resolved, he’d stay in this residence to ensure that next time, he wouldn’t be carried away flying.

Better to rest quickly, lest Qi’s two men come and his mind is muddled, making it difficult to negotiate properly.

The secret guard watched Master Ji turn and leave, and then also turned to leave.

He also had no intention of dealing with the two outside; let them wait. They refused good negotiation yesterday, so today, things wouldn’t be so easy.

...

Outside the residence, Lord Qi and Qi Heng had already grown impatient.

"Damn, these people are simply unbearable!"

Lord Qi glared viciously at the tightly closed door, so angry that he almost turned into a dolphin. In this lifetime, he’s never waited so long, not even before his master.

"Ah."

Qi Heng sighed softly.

Leaving directly the previous day was a mistake, it seemed that Master Ji wanted to give them a lesson.

"Brother Qi, stay calm; we can only proceed slowly now. As long as we end up with the grain, the process doesn’t matter."

He advised.

Hearing this, Lord Qi took a deep breath.

If they let Master Ji treat them so rudely, they might not yet have secured the grain before he got angrier.

"I’ll endure!"

No matter how angry, one must not lose sight of the bigger picture; they must secure the grain.

"Qi Heng, how are those households?" he asked.

"I sent someone to warn them this morning; it’s too soon to get updates," Qi Heng replied.

Yesterday, he found out which merchants Master Ji intended to meet and sent people this morning to warn each one, preventing them from coveting the grain.
