I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Just when Fang Yiyi was about to finish his training.

Princess Gaoyang of Xiyuan's maid came over carrying a wooden tray.

Her face was shy, but her eyes were bold and passionate as she looked at Fang Yiyi who was exercising.

She walked over quickly and said in a tender voice:

"Meet Saburo!"

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. My princess ordered my servant to bring you the colorful silk."

Fang Yiyi stopped lifting the stone and stretched out his hand towards the five women.

Then, Yang Mi blushed, ran over quickly and handed over a handkerchief in the envious eyes of Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong.

Fang Yiyi wiped the sweat off his face and asked curiously:

"Why did sister-in-law send me the colorful silk?"

The maid boldly looked at the beauty in front of her and said quickly:

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Wearing colorful silk when going out is a good omen!"

When Fang Yiyi heard this, some memories of the Dragon Boat Festival suddenly emerged in his mind.

The Dragon Boat Festival in the Tang Dynasty was extremely grand.

The court would hold various grand recreational activities.

What is fighting against the herb and shooting powder balls?

The most grand event is of course the dragon boat race!

As I recall, during the dragon boat races, there were many ladies on both sides of the river, dressed in gorgeous silks, with gold and silver shining in the sun.

There are so many women alone, not to mention the others, young and old!

The dragon boat racing scene is quite exciting!

It’s even more exciting than the Longhua Wrestling Competition!

Fang Yiyi said with some annoyance:

"I've been so busy with other things these days that I actually forgot about the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Quick, wake up the lady, pack up, and let's go out for fun!"

Chapter 484 I, Li Shimin, am not one of those weak emperors who can be controlled by you!

The group started practicing immediately.

Fang Yiyi also quickly took a hot shower.

He looked at the obvious lines on his body and said with satisfaction:

"It's only been a little over half a month, and the lines are already showing up."

"Now my physical strength is stronger than that of an average adult."

"Give me another month, and my chest and abdominal muscles should be able to be used as washboards!"

Thinking about the fact that I have been here for almost two months, the imperial physician has prescribed some medicine for me to regulate my body and strengthen my body.

Strengthen your exercise, eat good meat and medicinal food, and replenish your depleted body.

Starting from the first half of the month, we started to take tonic medicines directly.

And immerse yourself in the training ground, training with the players.

Let your body strengthen rapidly.

Fang Yiyi would sigh: "The ancient saying that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts really makes sense!"

"If I were an ordinary person, I would never know how long it would take to recover so quickly and develop these muscular lines!"

After putting on his clothes, Fang Yiyi looked at his stronger body in the mirror and a sense of security emerged.

"Humph, next time we encounter an attack, I won't have to worry about being held back!"

Although he was assassinated outside the city of Chang'an last time, Fang Yiyi did not hold back.

But individuals know their own circumstances.

He had limited physical strength, and took advantage of the fact that others looked down on him, thinking he was a weak scholar.

Only then did he seize the opportunity, unexpectedly, and quickly kill the opponent.

Otherwise...

Fang Yiyi thought of that night.

The ten people actually fought back and forth with Lichun and Lixia who had killed countless enemies.

It even broke through the blockade.

I can't help but feel a lingering fear.

Fang Yiyi shook his head and got rid of these distracting thoughts.

She put on the jade-white round-necked robe embroidered with green bamboo, tied her hair up, and hung colorful silk on it.

Looking at the handsome young man in the bronze mirror, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

Handsome!

......

Beside Qujiang Lake.

The grass is lush and the trees are green.

It is only early summer now, but the boundless greenery is already evident.

High platforms were built out of thin air beside Qujiang Lake.

Countless royal relatives, nobles, and wealthy families all sat on the high platform, gazing at the rippling waters of the Qujiang Lake from afar.

With an expectant look, he searched for dragon boats flying various flags.

On the bank of the river, countless people were shoulder to shoulder, looking at Qujiang Lake with the same anticipation.

On each of the colorful dragon boats, strong sailors hold their oars, head held high and chest puffed out, ready to go.

On the biggest platform.

Li Shimin was wearing bright yellow uniform, looking extremely dignified.

He stroked his beard, looked at the dragon boat with the dragon flag flying, and said:

"Everyone, who do you think will win the dragon boat race today?"

Everyone spoke freely, some talked about their own family, some talked about the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

But no one said that Li Shimin's royal dragon boat would win.

Li Shimin looked at those officials from aristocratic families who thought that the Five Surnames and Seven Families would win, and his eyes were slightly cold.

snort!

The five surnames and seven families rely on their status as noble families!

Controlled most of the low-level officials in the Tang Dynasty.

A scary but true statement.

As long as the five surnames and seven hopes think about it.

Li Shimin's decrees could be spread beyond Chang'an City.

The people in most parts of the Tang Dynasty couldn’t hear it either!

This is why Li Shimin was afraid and wanted to suppress the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

Their power is complex and deeply rooted in the Tang Dynasty.

Although he does not have the title of emperor, in some places, his power is greater than that of the emperor!

Li Shimin looked normal, and sneered in his heart:

"Just wait a little longer, and I'll show you something powerful!"

"Let me tell you that I, Li Shimin, am not one of those weak emperors that you can manipulate!"

Chapter 485 Those people won’t be able to jump around for much longer!

Fang Yiyi followed Chai Xueying to the vicinity of Qujiang Lake.

Looking at the noisy crowd.

The young couple looked at each other without saying a word, but smiled in tacit understanding.

The two men did not climb up the platform. Under the protection of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, they squeezed into the crowd of people and went to the river to check.

Fang Yiyi scanned the dragon boats and did not find any flags with the word "Fang" on them. He asked curiously:

"Didn't our Fang family participate in the competition this time?"

Chai Xueying smiled and explained:

"Grandpa asked me to ask you before if you were interested in participating. My husband was at the training ground during that time."

"I don't think it's necessary to trouble you, my husband, because of this matter, so I didn't say anything."

"Grandpa also thinks that it's better for our Fang family not to participate this time."

"Because a tall tree attracts the wind, it will attract people's hatred!"

Fang Yiyi nodded with deep understanding.

In the Longhua Association wrestling competition, the Fang family did not win first place.

However, he secretly controlled the situation and helped the Kong family win the wrestling match and made a fortune.

Then in the Oiran wrestling competition, he won another million kan.

It can be said that it is unparalleled in the limelight.

It is good and necessary to keep a low profile now!

Fang Yiyi smiled and said, "Then we don't have to worry about anything this time, just enjoy the fun!"

There was a pause, before Chai Xueying nodded.

Fang Yiyi's eyes lit up and he said with a grin:

"Well, is there anyone opening a bet for this dragon boat race?"

"Let's make a small bet and win a little more unexpected money!"

"If it doesn't hit, it's no big deal!"

Chai Xueying was stunned, then she smiled and raised her sleeves to cover her red lips and said:

"Hehe, husband, I'm afraid that this time your Xiao Xiao is betting a lot, and it really can only be Xiao Xiao!"

"This time, it was Zheng's from Xingyang who opened the market."

"And we set the rules. Each family can only bet a maximum of 100,000 guan, and the betting odds are capped at five times!"

Fang Yiyi raised his eyebrows and swept his eyes across the surrounding platforms.

Finally, the flag of Zheng family of Xingyang landed two hundred feet away, still conspicuous.

He looked at the endless stream of people on the platform and said with a smile:

"The Zheng family of Xingyang? It seems that Zheng Zhongchun is in charge this time."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know which one he will bet on."

"Follow him and you will definitely win."

Chai Xueying asked curiously, "Husband, you seem to admire him very much."

Fang Yiyi nodded and then shook his head and said:
