"Don't mention it, I found nothing!" When Ma Ye heard Li Xiu ask about the mysterious gambler, he immediately spread his hands.

"So powerful, you can't even find anything useful?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say in shock when he heard this. Ma Master's news was extremely well-informed. As long as it was something he wanted to investigate, there was almost nothing he could not find. Sometimes Li Xiu doubted whether he had a intelligence agency. He even asked the other party, but Ma Master laughed and broke the topic. Now that he couldn't find the other party's news, it would be a bit strange.

"Hehe, nothing can be found, it's actually considered that I've found it. It's just that I can't determine the other party's identity for the time being." At this time, Mr. Ma suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, why did Uncle Ma say that?" Li Xiu still didn't react for a while.

"It's very simple. As long as I want to investigate the whole Chang'an City, there is almost nothing I can't find. The reason why I can't find it this time is that all traces were quietly erased. However, the only few people in Chang'an could do this but not let me notice it. So that person must be one of these people, and the scope is much smaller." Mr. Ma suddenly said proudly at this time. The scope of investigation has been narrowed. As long as he gives him some more time, it should not be difficult to find out the other party's origin.

"Uncle Ma, who are these people? You can't find any news?" Li Xiu asked curiously when he heard this. He was almost certain that Ma must have an intelligence agency in his hands, and it is likely to be directly serving Li Yuan. After all, he was originally a serf of the Li family and was loyal to Princess Pingyang. Li Yuan was more at ease with such a person.

"Hehe, there are still people, so of course there are only a few people in the court with high power, such as Pei Ji, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, etc. These people either hold real power or are important figures in the royal family. They all have enough ability to prevent me from finding any news that night. However, if I continue to investigate one by one, it will not be difficult to find them." Ma Ye said proudly again, his subordinates were not just for a good meal.

"So that's it. I didn't expect the other party to be so big. Since that's the case, please don't check it. Anyway, the other party has no malicious intentions, and he didn't interfere with the matter between me and Chai Shao. This shows that the other party clearly just wants to watch the fun. If we keep pursuing his identity, we might annoy him, which would be a little bit unworthy." Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "He asked Mr. Ma to check the other party's identity before, but was just curious. Since the other party did not want to reveal his identity, there was no need for him to investigate it again.

Mr. Ma also showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this. After a while, he nodded and agreed: "What you said makes sense. Even if you find out the other party's identity, it is useless. Instead, it may offend the other party. Moreover, he knew that we did the explosion that day. If we really wanted to tell the truth, although there may not be many people who believe it, it will affect His Majesty's judgment."

Seeing Ma Ye agreeing, Li Xiu was relieved and talked to Ma Ye about other things, such as the last time the Warrior was preparing to coke, but not all carbonite was suitable for coke, so I don’t know if he found a suitable carbonite ore?

When Mr. Ma immediately became energetic when he heard Li Xiu ask about this, he immediately said excitedly: "The coking carbohydrate mine has been found. It is a carbohydrate mine in Taiyuan and the one I bought the north. Speaking of which, we tried almost all the carbohydrate mines at that time, but we couldn't find the right one, and we almost all prepared to give up in the end. However, we didn't expect that the coke charcoal ripped from Taiyuan could actually make good iron. Although it was not as good as the iron ripped from charcoal, it was quite good."

"Haha~, just find it!" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile happily when he heard this. The cost of coke iron smelting is lower than that of charcoal. Moreover, with the reduction of charcoal, the deforestation of forests will be reduced, which will help maintain water and soil. Especially in Guanzhong and other places, the vegetation here has not been completely destroyed, and the water of the Yellow River is relatively clear. If the vegetation can be restored, the Yellow River may have to change its name in the future.

He accompanied Ma Master to drink a drink, and then he was drunk again and sent back to the villa to rest. After arranging Ma Master, he saw that it was still early. Li Xiu went to the inner house to see Princess Pingyang. It was winter now, and some flowers and plants in the mansion were also moved to the greenhouse, so Princess Pingyang usually takes care of these flowers and plants in the greenhouse.

"Princess, you are here. Didn't I say that the moisture in the greenhouse is too strong and staying for too long will not help the old injuries on your legs?" Li Xiu went straight to the greenhouse in the garden. He opened the door and immediately saw Princess Pingyang loosening the soil for flowers and plants, but he said a little blaming.

Although the injury on Princess Pingyang's leg has healed, it has left some minor problems. For example, when it is cloudy and rainy, the wound will feel slightly ache and the moisture in the greenhouse is also very heavy. So Li Xiu advised her not to stay for too long, but Princess Pingyang always can't control her legs.

"I know, I will pay attention in the future. Moreover, I tied a fur tube on my legs, and the moisture cannot be in there!" Princess Pingyang smiled with a naughty tone. Only in front of Li Xiu could she reveal her true nature.

In fact, Li Xiu also knew that Princess Pingyang was too bored in normal times. In order to avoid suspicion, she could not come to accompany her often. The only thing she could let her pass the time was these flowers and plants. Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, hoping that the bearded guest could come back early, and then he asked Li Yuan for the purpose of saving the people. Even if he didn't want to agree, he might not be able to do so.

Next, Li Xiu chatted with Princess Pingyang for a few words. Princess Pingyang didn't ask about Chai Shao's incident, and Li Xiu didn't say it tacitly, as if this incident had never happened at all, but Princess Pingyang's attitude towards Li Xiu became more intimate.

"By the way, I heard from the people in the mansion that you also need a greenhouse outside the mansion. What are you planted inside?" Princess Pingyang suddenly thought of something and asked Li Xiu curiously. She also accidentally heard from the servants about this matter, and she was also very curious about it.

When Li Xiu heard Princess Pingyang mention the greenhouse he wanted, he immediately became energetic. He also thought that he hadn't visited in the past two days. When he went there last time, the two vegetables inside seemed to have signs of blooming, and now he doesn't know if they have bloomed.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu suddenly smiled and said to Princess Pingyang, "Princess, I have a treasure hidden in the greenhouse outside. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Okay, let's go now!" Princess Pingyang was worried that she had nothing to do, and she agreed excitedly. So the two of them immediately left the greenhouse, and no one prepared a car, so they walked outside the other yard.

Compared with last year, today's greenhouses have increased a lot, and they are located not far from the east of the courtyard. They are close to the yellow canal and poured into water. The land is also very fertile, and they are all good vegetable fields. The greenhouse selected by Li Xiu is closest to the riverside and is the best greenhouse among them.

At that moment, Li Xiu brought Princess Pingyang to the greenhouse. After opening the door, a heat immediately came to his face. Li Xiu only came every few days, and there were special people to take care of the place, but they could not move the vegetables inside. Even if there was a problem with the vegetables inside, they could only report to Li Xiu and then Li Xiu personally dealt with it.

Princess Pingyang entered the greenhouse with a little curiosity, but found that there were only two very ordinary vegetables planted inside. At the beginning, she was a little unwilling to accept it and went into the greenhouse to search everywhere, but except for the two vegetables grown in the field, she found nothing else.

"Li Xiu, what is the treasure you are hiding? It's not these two kinds of dishes, right?" Princess Pingyang finally gave up searching and asked with confusion below.

"Haha~, these two kinds of dishes are indeed very ordinary things and are not considered treasures. However, if they get married and then give birth to a child, they can get a priceless treasure!" Li Xiu once again told the conversation between him and Ma Ye again, and using the birth of a child to explain hybridization, it is indeed easier for people of this era to understand.

"Get married? Have a baby?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but stare at Li Xiu in amazement when she heard this. If she hadn't been familiar with Li Xiu's character, she would probably have doubted whether Li Xiu was crazy?

"Princess doesn't have to be surprised. Although the little cabbage and kohlrabi here seem to be a bit different, they actually belong to the same type of plants. If these two plants pollinate each other, they can form a new plant. Let's call it cabbage. This kind of cabbage is not only larger in size and has a higher yield. The most important thing is that cabbage is very resistant to storage in winter, and it will be fine even if it is hidden for a winter. In this way, even ordinary people who cannot afford greenhouse vegetables do not have to worry about not being able to eat vegetables in winter." Li Xiu finally expressed his thoughts at this time.

"Is it like radish to be able to store for a winter? In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty will have another vegetable in winter!" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but say excitedly when she heard this. She has always been extremely enthusiastic about improving people's livelihood, otherwise she would not have been loved by so many people.

"But how to get two kinds of vegetables together? Do you need to prepare a wedding for them or something?" At this time, Princess Pingyang thought of a key question and asked again. However, her imagination was really big. Li Xiu couldn't imagine what the wedding of the two plants would look like? (To be continued.)
