The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

32 – Hebei First (2)

The Hebei Fang Family is led by apprentice Fang Daiqian, one of the Heavenly Five.

Of course, they were easy to approach, but that was only because of the presence of one of the other Five Great Families, the Jegalese, Jegalhee. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have played against her.

And even he was rebuffed by Hebei Penga and returned. If you want, I’ll arrange a meeting with Lord Xiao, but not with him.

Bi Yan sighed and thought to herself, things don’t always work out as easily as she thought they would. Whether she wanted it to or not, the maiden was furious.

“I begged her to meet me, and she ignored me to the end!”

“There must have been a reason for that, right?”

“There were rumors in the world that it was piled up in the width of her skirt.”

The apprentice Pang Dae-chul had three sons: the first was a courtesan of great learning; the second was better than his brother in the arts, but knew little; and the third was bold, but could not match him in skill; so how could he give the cowherd to another? This was the song that was now circulating in Hebei.

Bi Yan laughed bitterly. She thought he was trying the same trick. After mulling it over for a while, she stood up.

“I guess I’ll have to find out the story myself.”

“You’re going to do it yourself?”

“Call me Su Hao.”

“Oh, yeah. I’m sorry.”

Ze Galhee apologized obediently. Bi Yan now wore men’s clothes, no makeup on her face, and her hair was tied back and placed on her back.

To a stranger, she was now, at best, a handsome boy, and at worst, a parasitic slut.

But she didn’t care. There were no good-looking people in the army in the first place, so what was the point of wearing makeup or beautiful clothing.

Without hesitation, Bi Yan and Jie Galxi stepped out onto the streets of Hebei. It had rained during the night, so the streets were muddy and the walls were smeared with mud.

It was a different atmosphere from the one in Ximen City. Every day, people cleaned the streets, and there was a certain amount of intelligent conversation.

But there was no such thing in Hebei. There was no sweeping, just people arguing with each other, and she stuck her tongue out at the sight.

“They say the people of Hebei are short-tempered and unruly, so I guess it’s true.”

“Well, I think it’s for different reasons.”

“What?”

“Well, we’ll have to find out.”

Bi Yan split off from Jie Galxi and began to investigate the Hebei pangas. There were two kinds.

There were two kinds of people: those who would tell you in a friendly way, and those who would be annoyed and say, “What do you care? As the sun slowly began to set over the middle of the sky, they met again.

Unlike Bi Yan, who looked relatively unharmed, Qi Gali looked very tired, both physically and mentally. She stuck out her tongue and said:

“You’ve lost half your face.”

“Please listen to my story! I was so angry at you for even asking!”

“Let’s talk about it over a meal.”

Arriving at the restaurant, they ordered food and began to share their findings.

What was strange was the attitude of the Hebei people. While there were those who openly praised the drink, there were also those who looked down on it.

Perhaps the supporters of Shao Jiazhu and the second son were fighting each other, Bi Yan said with his tongue in cheek.

“Apparently, the second son of the Hebei Fang family is very much loved by Hebei.”

“

“Rumors of the world are not to be trusted.”

From noble mtl dot com

“The Master, the Heavenly Horses, and even Bi Yan herself have ceased to care about the public eye, and that includes the second son of Hebei.

If that’s the case, then perhaps the rumors that are circulating now are the handiwork of the Su Family. After making that judgment, Bi Yan laughed bitterly. How shallow of her.

I wonder how they captured the tiger in Hebei, and this is how they did it?

However, Bi Yan had no intention of letting the trick go. “This time, we’ll have to use the cattle prodigy.”

“What, you mean the cattle prodigy of the Hebei Fang Family?”

“Yes, he’ll definitely listen.”

“What kind of trick are you planning…….”

In response to Jie Gal Hui’s question, Bi Yan only smiled.

The next day, she received a letter from Bi Yan. It said, “Do not show the contents to anyone.

Now a messenger to the Jolji, Jie Gal Hui lamented her lot.

Technically, I’m the older one, so why am I the one who has to follow that little brat? Even as she continued to grumble to herself, Jegalhee accomplished her task.

Perhaps it helped that I had arranged a meeting with Sogaju yesterday. Of course, her early morning arrival had caused some consternation among the warriors, but

she had accepted the meeting with open arms. As a result, she was able to meet with him alone in the Hebei Peng Family’s guest room.

“Don’t you need any tea or refreshments?”

“Oh, no, actually…….”

“I know. You’re here to meet my ugly brother, aren’t you?”

“That’s right,”

Jie Galxi nodded. It wasn’t hard to tell what she had come for, now that Hebei Peng’s cowherd Fang Daiyi had told her the story himself.

Fang Daiyi, who had been listening in silence, nodded and stood up from his seat.

“Is there something urgent?”

“You didn’t tell me, then I should show you.”

“What, so suddenly?”

“Is there a problem?”

Seeing Fang Daiyi’s cool demeanor, it was actually Jie Gali who panicked.

Isn’t it right to let them meet like this without any connection?

It seemed like Fang Daiyi was impatient that he couldn’t arrange this meeting. Now, even she felt a bit odd, but she didn’t mind taking the chance.

She was guided by the cattleman Fang Daiyi to the interior of Hebei Fang’s mansion. The mansion was sprawling, and its opulence rivaled that of the palace, and

it made her head ache. The Zegalese family had never been this large.

Frugality in the absence of wealth is a friend, and learning is the true wealth. That’s what I’ve been told since I was a little girl, so that it sticks in my ears. Tang, who was walking beside me, said.

“That’s the room over there.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“No, it’s nothing, on the contrary, I’m looking forward to it.”

“What?”

“That my ugly little brother will become better through this meeting.”

“…….”

From his bitter smile, it was clear that he was genuinely worried about his little brother. Such feelings were conveyed. Jie Galhee quickly averted her gaze.

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t think that meeting with Bi Yan, whom she was currently serving, would have such a good effect.

Soon, they reached a room, the innermost room in the Hebei Fang Family’s stately mansion. With no windows, it felt more like a prison than a room.

“Brother, I can’t afford to see anyone right now.”

“Dai-cheol, don’t be like that, at least listen to the story.”

“It’s no problem, just take the guest back quickly.”

“You see, I always feel like this…….”

“I know what you mean.”

Fang Daiyi said with a bitter smile. In response, she sighed and walked forward. From here on out, she had to do something about it.

“Xiao Hao, I have heard of your reputation, and I know it well.”

“…….”

“I am Xiao Hao, a visitor from the Xiao Clan.”

“What brings you here?”

“The man I am serving wishes to meet with you.”

“I am sorry, but I cannot afford it.”

His apology was a far cry from the one she’d heard on the street. Jegalhee is a little taken aback, but for now, she remains calm as she listens to his words.

“I understand what you mean, Xiao Xiao, but we have traveled a long way to get here, and the toil is not light.”

“…….”

“Moreover, is it a girl’s fault if she asks a small favor, that you read this letter to her here and now?”

“……Give me the letter.”

The firmly closed door slid open. However, what stuck out of it was a very thick arm.

Managing her expression as best she could, she pulled out the letter and handed it to him. This is the end of the matter. Just when I thought I was done.

A loud bang rang out from nowhere. It felt like a hundred rebar had fallen in front of me. The door, which had been firmly closed, was completely shattered, sending shards flying everywhere. Surprisingly, though, no one in front of him was hurt. Then the man walked out, trampling over the debris.

“Where is the man who wrote this letter now?”

Seeing the man’s eyes blazing like a forge’s furnace, Jingali replied.

“Please help me.”
