I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

But all I could think of in my mind was that proud and upright figure, so white and so big.

Chapter 410: Disaster from the sky, torrential rain

The sudden storm quickly washed away all the distracting thoughts in Fang Yiyi's mind.

After he finished exercising in the heavy rain, he was wet all over, shivering, and walked quickly under the eaves.

"My dear, the hot water is ready, please wipe it."

Fang Yiyi took the handkerchief handed over by Yang Mi, wiped his hair quickly, and instructed:

"Go tell Fang Liu to send a message back to Zhuangzi and ask Xue Li to lead everyone to train in the heavy rain."

Training in heavy rain?

Yang Mi didn't understand why, but was shocked.

She quickly responded, "Yes, my dear!"

After agreeing, Yang Mi walked along the corridor to find Fang Liu without saying a word.

Fang Yiyi was taking a comfortable hot bath, looking out the open window, admiring the storm, and muttering to himself:

"With such heavy rain, will the Cui family of Qinghe send anyone?"

"Should we send the money directly? Or should we send someone to talk to us?"

After a pause, Fang Yiyi thought of the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Will such heavy rain have any impact?"

Then I thought, it hasn’t rained for more than a month, and this rainstorm is the first rain since the beginning of spring this year.

Although it’s big, it’s good for the land!

As long as it doesn't last too long, there are only benefits and no harm.

But if it rains for too long...

Fang Yiyi thought of those refugees again.

He hadn't had enough food or warm clothes for a long time, and had been sleeping in the open air, so his health was already weak.

Even though most of the refugees had a full meal yesterday.

But when this rainstorm comes, most people cannot withstand it.

Fang Yiyi wanted to help, but he was powerless.

With so many refugees, I wonder how much wood and straw would be needed to build shelters from the rain.

Even if you have money, you can't build so many sheds to shelter from the rain.

But if he really did nothing, it would not be Fang Yiyi's character.

He shouted, "Yang Mi, send someone to buy some ginger and prepare some ginger soup to ward off the cold, and send it to the refugees outside the city."

Yang Mi, who had been a refugee for some time, knew very well how much disaster this rainstorm would cause to the refugees.

She looked at Fang Yiyi with respect, who had saved her and many refugees, and said quickly:

"Yes, Langjun!"

Fang Yiyi no longer had the mood to take a bath, so he just washed himself casually, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the house.

Chai Xueying, who was dressing up, also had a worried look on her face when she heard footsteps.

Chai Xueying turned her head and looked at Fang Yiyi, saying sadly:

"My dear, it's raining so hard, those refugees... "

She didn't finish her words, but Fang Yiyi understood what she meant.

Fang Yiyi stepped forward, held Chai Xueying's hand, and said:

"Since you are worried, let's go take a look in the carriage."

"After we finish reading, let's go to Zhuangzi's place."

Chai Xueying asked in confusion: "Why go to Zhuangzi?"

Fang Yiyi looked out the window at the heavy rain that had been pouring down for nearly half an hour and said:

"Nothing can happen to the things I planted!"

"I have to watch it to feel at ease!"

Chai Xueying knew that Fang Yiyi had been paying attention to the crops he grew that he got from the Sogdian merchant Dilirewu.

When training with the descendants of Yuan Cong's imperial guards, he would go to the fields every day to check on them and take good care of them.

She is truly the treasure of her husband's heart.

Moreover, my husband said that those things could very likely solve the problem of food for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It is of course extremely important, more important than the refugees, and there cannot be any mistakes.

Chai Xueying didn't even bother to put on her makeup. She brought out all the energy she had when she was a soldier and decisively took Fang Yiyi's hand and walked out.

"Then let's go quickly!"

Chapter 411 If it works, you will get promoted and make money. If it doesn't work, you will die.

The wheels are falling!

Fang Yiyi and Chai Xueying were sitting in the carriage, listening to the crackling sound of rain on the roof, their hearts sank to the extreme.

The once bustling streets now only had a few people wearing straw raincoats or running hurriedly in the heavy rain. The bustling scenes of the past were gone.

The accumulated rainwater was high enough to cover people's feet. Horses' hooves trampled the water, causing large splashes of water. The next moment, the splashes were extinguished by the rain falling from the sky.

Fang Yiyi shouted through the curtains to Li Qiu, who was wearing a straw raincoat and driving the carriage:

"Li Qiu, speed up!"

"Yes, my dear!" Li Qiu agreed, raised his whip and whipped the horse, shouting, "Go!"

It normally took three quarters of an hour to reach Mingde Gate, the southern gate of Chang'an, but we arrived there in just two quarters of an hour.

The soldiers guarding the gate were shocked when they saw a carriage tearing through the rain and rushing towards the city gate at a very fast speed!

The leading city gate captain roared loudly:

"Stop and accept inspection!"

The loud and majestic voice did not travel far in the rain before it completely dissipated.

At the same time, as he roared, the soldiers at the city gate skillfully moved the chevaux de frise placed nearby to the middle of the city gate to prevent the carriage of unknown origin from breaking into the city gate!

Li Dong, who was standing beside the carriage, galloped forward and came to the barricade. He raised the token in his hand and shouted:

"Order from the female army marshal, quickly clear the way and don't delay Marshal Chai from leaving the city!"

The captain was shocked, it was Marshal Chai of the women's army.

It can only be the female warrior of the Tang Dynasty who was a third-rank general of the Right Guard, Princess Lekang Chai Xueying.

He quickly stepped forward to check the token, was startled, and quickly shouted:

"Move away the chevaux de frise and open the city gate!"

Afterwards, he returned the token to Lidong, saluted towards the carriage and said:

"Farewell, Valkyrie!"

The rest of the soldiers also shouted in unison:

"Farewell, Valkyrie!"

The carriage drove out of Mingde Gate quickly without any pause.

The lieutenant straightened up when he saw the carriage leave. He looked at the carriage that quickly disappeared in the rain, raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and asked curiously:

"It's the Fang Mansion's carriage. I think it's Mr. Fang and the Marshal who are leaving the city together."

"You're in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"

The soldier next to him heard what his captain said, his eyes rolled around, and he said uncertainly:

"Sir, do you think he is going out of the city to see the refugees?"

The captain was stunned.

Outside the east, west and south walls of Chang'an City, at the suggestion of Fang Yiyi, the princes, nobles and wealthy families in Chang'an City opened their granaries and provided porridge to help the refugees.

Although Fang Yiyi himself said that he received orders from His Majesty.

But as soldiers, they knew what was going on.

The rainstorm was extremely severe and the poor refugees had no shelter from the wind and rain.

It's fine for a short time, but for a long time...

The captain sighed and said quietly:

"Fang Jiasanlang and Marshal Chai are kind and righteous men, but God is blind!"

"So many refugees, they are all lives!"

"It would be great if we could find a way to resolve this difficulty!"

The soldier next to him also sighed, his face mourning.

Suddenly, the soldier's eyes turned and he said quickly:

"Sir, I have an idea. I want to share it with you. Do you think it is feasible?"

The captain glanced at the soldier and frowned:

"This involves tens of thousands of refugees. You must think carefully. If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."

The soldier also realized the seriousness of the situation. His body trembled and fear and hesitation appeared on his face.

After two breaths, he looked up at the black clouds flashing with thunder and pouring down heavy rain, and gritted his teeth and said:

"If it works, I'll get promoted and make a fortune. If it doesn't, I'll die with a clear conscience!"

Chapter 412 The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs!

The captain grinned when he heard what the soldier said.

Wow!

The arm armor filled with rain threw out several lines of water, which hit the soldier's shoulder heavily.

"Good boy, if anything happens, we'll take the lead!"

The soldier grinned, saluted the captain and said:

"Thank you, sir!"

Then he whispered his idea quickly.

After hearing this, the lieutenant gasped and looked at the soldier in horror.

"You are really brave. If something goes wrong, you will really lose your head!"

In the city gate tower on Mingde Gate.

Zhao Yang, the fourth-rank General of the Right Guard, listened to the report from the captain.

His thick brows suddenly furrowed as he stared at the captain's sincere face.

After more than ten breaths.

Zhao Yang licked his thick lips and squinted his eyes:

"This method is extremely bold. It's good that it works well. It will benefit all people."

"If something goes wrong, you won't be the only ones to lose your heads under military law."

"I am also to blame!"
