Chapter 11: Strange Goods Can Be Sold (Part 1)

  Lü Buwei stood locally, taking a good look at the situation in the courtyard. He saw that the houses in the courtyard were low and short, with a messy and dirty appearance. The scattered leaves emitted a corrupt atmosphere, which was the best annotation. More importantly, there was no vitality. Lü Buwei became even more determined: "This Qin stranger is living a life without sunshine, as long as I do this and that, he will have to obey me and listen to my arrangements."

  Just as he was thinking, Ma Ge went away and came back, sizing up Ma Ge, muttering to himself: "This robe should be given by Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo wants to keep them to vent their anger, and will not let them die easily."

  Ma Ge hastily approached and said to Lü Buwei: "Sir, please follow me."

  "As expected, Qin Yiren didn't dare not to see me. Hmm, he must have come in person to welcome me." Lü Buwei thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction, and after saying "please", followed behind Ma Ge's back, quickly heading inside.

  What surprised Lü Buwei was that there was no sign of the strange man from Qin, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he was puzzled.

  They arrived in front of a low house, Ma Gai stopped and said: "Please wait for a moment, sir." After announcing his crime, he entered the house.

  "He didn't even come to welcome me in person, he's just a stinky framework of the Prince of Dang. Hmph, I'm almost starving to death, and he still wants to save face." Lü Buwei stood waiting locally, inwardly disparaging Qin Yiren greatly.

  At this moment, Marquis Wen turned back and asked: "Young Master, do you want to see me?"

  "Sir, I'm truly sorry. The young master is a bit tired and needs to rest. Please wait for a moment, sir." Magai smiled apologetically, bowing his head repeatedly.

  "Rest?" Lü Buwei thought his ears had gone bad, a look of astonishment on his face, stunned for half a day, before he believed he hadn't misheard.

  Lü Buwei had a clear understanding of the situation with Qin's strangers. Since being placed under house arrest, no one had come to visit him. Lü Buwei came to visit, whether he knew him or not, this was a big deal for Qin's stranger. He would certainly welcome him with great fanfare and treat him as an honored guest.

  Who would have thought that Qin Yi Ren actually gave him a closed-door buns.

  "You..." Lü Buwei's anger surged up, but he was about to rebuke him. After a moment's thought, Qin Yi Ren was after all a prince, and it was normal for him to put on airs and fight for face. He could only suppress his anger and ask: "When can you wake up?"

  "Don't worry, sir, it'll be quick." Magai smiled warmly, bowed with a fist in his hand, and turned to enter the house.

  Lü Buwei was left here, with no one asking about him. He really had a lot of pent-up anger and wanted to explode.

  With his status and wealth, not to mention the young princes, even Zhao's Prime Minister Pingyuan Jun would treat him as a superior guest with courtesy. But this abandoned son of Qin, Qin Yiren, was actually made to drink northwest wind here, and couldn't even enter the door, how could he not be angry?

  What's even more infuriating is that Magai spoke for a long time, a whole hour, without seeing Qin Yiren show up.

  Standing in the cold wind for a while, despite Lü Buwei being warmly dressed, his face turned green with cold and his whole body was icy. After standing for a while, his legs became numb and were almost frozen stiff.

  "Qin Yi Ren, I..." At this moment, Lü Buwei had a strong urge to kill.

  He has never suffered such a fate in his life.

  "Sorry to keep you waiting." Just then, Ma Gai hurried over with a warm smile on his face.

  Lü Buwei really wanted to ask him how a moment's work had become an hour, but he didn't take him seriously. In this situation, he couldn't help but force a smile and pretend nothing was wrong: "Oh no, just a moment."

  Putting on a smiling face, but in his heart he would rather tear up and eat the horse's fodder.

  "Sir's pulse is extraordinary, and he can sympathize with the young master." Magai's next words almost made Lü Buwei lose his temper. He only heard Magai say: "The young master just woke up and fell asleep again."

  "You..." Lü Buwei's good breeding was also unable to withstand this, and he pointed at Ma Ge, questioning: "Is this the way Qin people treat their guests?"

  "The young master knew that Mr. had this question, the young master said, Mr. and the young master were not acquainted with each other, can't be considered a guest." Ma Gai greatly praised Qin Yiren.

  Lü Buwei came with great enthusiasm to visit, originally thinking that Qin Yiren would treat him as an honored guest, but unexpectedly not even considered a guest, Lü Buwei had the urge to kill.

  "Please inform the young master that Lü Buwei of the Lü clan's merchant house has requested an audience." Lü Buwei had come with grand ambitions, intending to carry out a plan to buy the state. Although he was furious, he was forcing himself to endure it, not wanting to ruin everything because of this.

  "Lu's Trading Company? Sir, you're actually from Lu's Trading Company, I've really offended you." Magai was shocked.

  The Lü family business is a rapidly rising merchant house in recent years, with wealth second only to the five major merchants who were famous at that time. The name of the Lü family business is very loud.

  Looking at Magai walking away quickly, Lü Buwei thought with a pleased nod: "I'll show off my reputation, I don't believe that Qin Yi Ren won't see me."

  However, what happened next made Lü Buwei even more depressed than eating a dead fly. Before long, he saw Ma Ge turn around and rush towards him, saying: "Young Master is awake..."

  "He wants to see me, right?" Lü Buwei had absolute confidence that the Qin stranger would come to see him under the name of the Lü family business. He said this with full confidence, and as soon as he lifted his foot, he was about to enter the house.

  Ma Ge stretched out both hands and blocked him, saying with a smile that was not quite a smile: "The young master is about to dine, sir, you mustn't disturb him."

  "The Qin people are so rude! Too rude!" Lü Buwei's identity and status were extremely respected, he humbled himself to come and visit, for anyone, it was a big deal, but in Qin Yiren's place, he repeatedly hit a wall.

  Hitting a wall is just hitting a wall, the problem is that Qin Yiren's reason for not seeing him is really infuriating. He was sleepy and wanted to sleep, after waking up he still wanted to sleep, and even after sleeping well he still wanted to take a nap. With such a reason, who can tolerate it? Even with Lü Buwei's heroic nature, he couldn't bear it and had to erupt.

  "Haha!" Lü Buwei's accusation was met with Ma Ge's hearty laughter, and he heard Ma Ge say: "Young master has spoken, etiquette is for noble guests to enjoy, but you, sir, don't count as a guest, no need to use etiquette. Hmm, young master wants me to pass on a message to you: 'No gift comes without a thought', either treachery or thievery, sir, you're being overly polite, must have an ulterior motive, dare I ask what your intention is?"

  Lü Buwei's heart skipped a beat, and the phrase "no crime is more heinous than offering bribes" hit him right in the gut. His purpose for coming was to carry out a treacherous plot, the most treacherous of all treacherous plots.

  "How could Qin Yiren have known? Does he possess the ability of foresight?" Lü Buwei wondered to himself.

  "Please inform the young master that I, Lü Buwei, can make his gate wide." Now that things have come to this point, he could only speak bluntly.

  "Please wait a moment, sir." Ma Gai said and turned into the house.

  As soon as he heard the two words "wait a moment", Lü Buwei's heart skipped a beat, wondering if it would be another hour.

  This time, there was no delay, Ma Ge returned immediately, not allowing Lü Buwei to ask questions, and said: "The young master has said: Thank you for your kindness, I will take care of my own affairs, don't worry about it."

  "The gate of the noble prince" is a metaphor, meaning that he can help Qin Yiren achieve great things. It stands to reason that Qin Yiren must see him, but unexpectedly, Qin Yiren actually refused, and Lü Buwei's mouth was agape, unable to utter a word for half a day.

  "Is the young master really dining? Or is he deceiving me?" Lü Buwei was not convinced, wondering if Qin Yiren was playing a trick on him. He decided to investigate further.

  "If you don't believe me, just take a look inside the house." Ma's smile was exceptionally warm.

  Lü Buwei received the news that Qin's stranger was hungry and cold, definitely had nothing to eat, and was deceiving him. He lifted his foot and walked away, entering the house like the wind.

  "This..." Lü Buwei looked around the room and his mouth was wide open, big enough to hold a large bowl.
