Pressing the doubt in his heart, Du Baozhu presented the prepared thank you gift with both hands: "Thank you Your Highness for your help yesterday." ”

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Li Jie opened the gift card with great interest and glanced at it, and snorted: "This thank you gift is quite attentive. ”

"Yes." Du Baozhu sat down and echoed seriously: "This is selected with the help of my mother, and it is the honor of a slave to be satisfied with His Royal Highness." ”

"Mother?" Li Jie seemed to hear something interesting, and lazily hooked the corners of his lips: "You have filial piety." ”

Du Baozhu couldn't figure out Li Jie's thoughts, so he had to reluctantly respond to two sentences. Fortunately, the restaurant guy served the food in time, which broke the embarrassment of the elegant room.

She had a hard time eating this meal, and she barely moved her chopsticks. Li Jie was in a good mood, and tasted every dish: "The craftsmanship of Mochizuki Tower is not as good as that of Zhangjialou." ”

Du Baozhu laughed dryly, and waited for Li Jie to put down his chopsticks before he put the stack that had been hot in front of Li Jie: "I was busy with Du Ji's affairs some time ago, and I missed the 100-day appointment, so I also ask Your Highness Haihan." ”

The original bet was for Du Baozhu to turn 500,000 yuan into 1 million yuan in 100 days.

At that time, Du Baozhu was a newcomer, and he didn't know the market in Chang'an, so he only thought that Li Jie was short of money to spend, and deliberately found an excuse to tease her. However, after she saw the wine shop that Li Jie gave away with the gambling contract, she knew that the wine shop alone was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

'Free things are often the most expensive', Du Baozhu had to be suspicious of Li Jie's purpose of approaching her, and wished to pay off the old debt as soon as possible. However, Li Jie did not let her get her wish, and found reasons to postpone the gambling contract twice.

Today, she no longer expects Li Jie to confide in the real murderer who caused her to fall off the horse, but only hopes that Li Jie will lose interest in her earlier.

But to her surprise, Li Jie did not embarrass her this time.

After casually putting the toilet change into his sleeve pocket, Li Jie's thin lips touched lightly and spit out a name: "Lu Ningzhao." ”

The memory flashed, and Du Baozhu finally remembered who the murderer who killed the original owner was - the granddaughter of the former prime minister Lu Xi, and Lu Ningzhao, who was both a classmate and a member of the same polo team as the original owner.

The original owner fell from his horse that day, and she was indeed present. But she and Du Baozhu were just nodding friends, no grudges, no hatred, and no conflicts of interest, so Du Baozhu ignored her.

How could it be her?

Li Jie probably saw Du Baozhu's doubts, and reminded lightly: "A few days ago, Princess Yongshou wanted to form a polo team. ”

Princess Yongshou is the youngest daughter of the first emperor Tang Yizong, one or two years older than Du Baozhu, and she is also a lively and active character. Du Baozhu remembered that the polo match that day was held by this princess.

But Princess Yongshou has nothing to do with her, how could it be the reason why Lu Ningzhao killed people? Just because Du Baozhu played polo better than Lu Ningzhao, did he steal the limelight from Lu Ningzhao?

In business, Du Baozhu is very good at it. But the little girl's twisting mind made her unable to start, and she didn't have a clue for a while.

Seeing her clumsy side, Li Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, and he kindly explained: "Princess Yongshou formed a polo team to make a bet with the saint......"

At this time, Du Baozhu finally caught a ray of inspiration.

He is only eighteen years old this year, and he is a handsome and an emperor. Although she can't look down on it, the nobles of Chang'an can look down on it.

Lu Ningzhao is fourteen this year, and he is barely old enough to see his mother-in-law's family. If she wants to marry the emperor, being selected for the princess's polo team is an excellent opportunity.

Xi Zong is also good at polo, if he can be looked up to because of this, or if he has more contact under the banner of asking for polo, wouldn't it be a few points better than the chances of others winning?

The Tang Dynasty was open-minded and did not teach each other privately. If you can really make a love decision because of polo, it may become a good story. In this way, it is indeed worth Lu Ningzhao's action.

…… For such an absurd reason, he actually lost the life of a little girl. Du Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Jie took her reaction in his eyes, and suddenly asked out loud: "This king has answered your doubts, is it time for you to answer this king's question?" ”

Du Baozhu's heart jumped, knowing that tonight's highlight was coming, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "If the slave knows something, he must confess." ”

"Heh," Li Jie hooked the corners of his lips, his cold eyes fell on her face, and the words he said were like thunder: "You are not Du Baozhu, who are you?" ”

Du Baozhu's back immediately froze in place before he could straighten up, his heartbeat was like a drum, and he barely maintained a smile on his face: "Is Your Highness telling a joke?" If the slave is not Du Baozhu, who else can it be? ”

"Du Baozhu before the fall of the horse was just a ten-year-old girl, although the Du family was more pampered and a little more flamboyant, but it was no different from other noble girls in Kyoto. There are no new teas, martial arts meetings, promotional conventions and other new things. ”

"Your Highness is so strange." Du Baozhu saw him say substantial evidence, and his heart gradually calmed down. She has already foreshadowed these things, and she is not afraid of people asking: "Is rice born to be used to make rice?" Was kudzu vine born to be used for spinning and weaving? There will always be a pioneer in everything, is it true that all those who have done something new are suspicious? ”

Li Jie listened to her defense silently, and there was no expression on his stone-carved face. Just as she was about to finish, she suddenly reached out and stabbed her in the face.

Li Jie knew martial arts, his movements were as fast as the wind, and before Du Baozhu could react, his fingertips had already reached the tip of her nose. Before she had time to think about it, she subconsciously took a step back and sat down on the couch.

"Here's the proof." Li Jie withdrew his hand lightly: "This is Du Baozhu's first style of feeding tricks with her master in the past, and she has practiced it more than a thousand times, even if she closes her eyes." If you are Du Baozhu, why do you just hide and not take the move? ”

Although Du Baozhu inherited all the memories of the original owner, after all, it was shoehorned, and it was not as capable as the original owner. Li Ming's move was urgent and fierce, at that moment, she was just the powerless Du Baozhu in modern times, so naturally she could only dodge and didn't care about receiving the move. By the time she reacted, it was too late.

"......" Du Baozhu couldn't get rid of Li Jie's attitude towards her, a visitor from another world, so he bit his lip and didn't dare to answer.

Li Jie seemed to have anticipated her reaction, didn't raise his eyelids, and said directly: "Whether you are Du Baozhu or not, it doesn't matter to this king, this king only wants an obedient collaborator." ”

At this point, Du Baozhu denied that it was useless, so he had to laugh at himself: "A slave and a commoner, where can he be worthy of His Highness's collaborator?" ”

Li Jie looked at Du Baozhu calmly: "The original Du Baozhu can't afford it, you can afford it." ”

"Your Highness has been promoted, and the slave will not do anything else except do business."

"You're underestimating yourself too much." Li Jie raised his eyes, hooked his lips and sneered: "Do you really think that what you are doing in the mountains is unnoticed?" ”

The tea garden in the deep mountains is Du Baozhu's lifeblood, and when Li Jie mentioned it, he almost jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on. However, she was firm-hearted, and although she was anxious in her heart, her face was still impassive: "Your Highness is referring to my newly built tea garden?" ”

"It's a shame to say that almost all the people in Chang'an have learned the recipe of Du Ji new tea. In order to make money, the slave could only come up with such a way to reduce the cost and make His Highness smile. ”

"Oh?" Li Jie raised his eyebrows: "Then you used stones to build a fortress just to save money on wood?" ”

Du Guangyi bought all the wood and stone on the mountain, and Du Baozhu was worried that the rebellious army would lack food in the future and go into the mountains, so he specially instructed Du Guangyi to choose stones.

Du Baozhu knew that there was a trap in Li Jie's question, so he shook his head honestly and said: "The slave just thinks that the stone is stronger and can be used for a few more years." ”

"Hmph, full of lies!" Li Jie snorted coldly, but there was no anger on his face, but a hint of a smile.

He didn't wait for Du Baozhu to defend again, so he took out the previous put away and took it out again: "If you want this king to keep a secret for you, continue to cooperate with this king." ”

Going around and around, the money went to Du Baozhu again. Du Baozhu had a headache: "How does Your Highness want to cooperate?" ”

"Two." Li Jie stretched out two slender fingers and lightly tapped the desktop: "First, this money will be used as the capital of this king's shares, and it will be divided into this king on a monthly basis in the future." Second, your tea plantation should be divided into half of the king, and nothing you see or hear in it should be mentioned to outsiders. ”

'Shareholding' and 'sharing' are all words put forward by Du Baozhu when he fooled the shops participating in the promotion conference before, and they were somehow learned by Li Jie. Now it's used on herself, and she can't tell the bitterness.

As for the second one, she was even more frightened: "What does Your Highness want to do?" ”

She built a tea garden and a fortress in order to take refuge. As a prince, Li Jie naturally won't ask for half a mountain because of this. Could it be ...... Do you want to raise soldiers?

This answer made Du Baozhu shocked, although she knew that Tang Xizong would not be the emperor for a few years, and Li Jie should succeed her. But Li Jie didn't know, he was raising troops in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, could it be that he wanted to rebel?

Li Jie's eyes were dark, and he replied after a while: "Tian Lingzi is ambitious, but the saint is not half vigilant. As a courtier, this king had to take precautions early. ”

Sure enough, it's time to raise soldiers. Du Baozhu wanted to stay away from the battle for the throne, who knew that he had actually filled himself in after struggling for a while, which was really regretful.

However, at this time, her biggest secret is in Li Jie's hands, if she doesn't agree, I'm afraid that she won't survive tomorrow at all. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and remind Li Jie: "This is not a trivial matter, if Your Highness is not completely sure, don't act rashly...... Although the tea plantation is located deep in the mountains, it is not a secret, and workers who pick and transport tea often come and go here. ”

"This king has his own opinions." Li Jie probably guessed that Du Baozhu didn't want to cause trouble, so he glanced at her with a smile: "You just hid a group of beggars into the mountain yesterday, do you know that if this matter falls into the ears of the saint, it will already be tantamount to complicity?" ”
