"What kind of deal?" Nam Kaoru couldn't help but ask.

Elder Wen said slowly: "This deal is that the Elder Pavilion of the Shang Alliance unanimously agrees to fully support Li Shimin, the King of Qin!" ”

Could it be that Nan Xun was shocked and asked, "That's it, Li Shimin, the future Tang Taizong!?" ”

"That's right! Therefore, after Taizong succeeded to the throne, he took great care of the business alliance, directly reduced the tax of thirty percent of the members of the business alliance, and vigorously supported the development of business, and the business alliance has since reached its peak. ”

"I see, isn't the financial strength of this business alliance even more immeasurable now?"

"Definitely."

"That," Nan Xun asked in a low voice, "...... the current emperor"

Elder Wen knew what Nan Xun was going to ask, and immediately said, "Naturally, he also received the support of the Shang Alliance, and the person who was originally responsible for contacting the Holy Lord was your father!" ”

"Huh!?" Nan Xun exclaimed, "No wonder that day, the emperor said that he had a good conversation with my father." ”

"Alas," Wen Lao sighed, "I just didn't expect that after your father passed away, the Shang Alliance wouldn't even contact you." ”

Nan Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Not only is there no contact, but he even plans to kill me!" ”

Subsequently, Nan Xun told Wen Lao what happened to him.

Wen Lao snorted coldly and said: "Okay, this business alliance is really getting more and more promising, and it even attacks its own people." ”

"I'm not one of my own." Nan Xun said, "The business alliance doesn't look down on us, so how can they treat me as their own." ”

"This matter is definitely not the intention of the Elders' Pavilion, it should be the opinion of some members with evil intentions. It's a pity that the people I know in the business alliance are gone, and I can't help you inquire. ”

"It's okay, as long as I know about the business alliance, I have a way to find out." Nan Xun said, took out another cardboard box, handed it to Wen Lao, and said, "This is the most important purpose of my visit this time, Grandpa Wen, you can take a look, I don't know anything about this thing at all." ”

"Oh, with your ability, there are still things that are puzzling, I have to take a good look at this."

After speaking, Wen Lao opened the box, only glanced at the box, and immediately his eyes widened, as if he saw something very surprising to him, and then, with trembling fingers, took out the beads from the box, carefully, as if he was afraid of breaking it.

This was the first time Nan Xun had seen Wen Lao show such an expression, in her impression, Wen Lao was well-informed, experienced, and old, so he couldn't encounter anything that made him so excited.

But now, Wen Lao's expression made Nan Xun feel very incredible.

"Dzi, it's really a dzi, it's really a dzi, it's really a dzi." Wen Lao was chattering, holding the so-called dzi, it was like he was about to burst into tears, as if a person who had been hungry for three or four days suddenly saw the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

After a long while, Wen Lao recovered a little from his excitement, turned his head and asked, "Where did you get it, how could this thing get into your hands." ”

"This was pawned in my shop."

"Strange, strange, how could this thing come out."

"Grandpa Wen, what the hell is this, why are you so excited!?"

"This is a dzi, dzi!!" Wen Lao said, "The legendary dzi, if the legend is good, this thing is incomparable to anything in the world. ”

"What the hell is this dzi?"

"Actually, I haven't seen this thing, I've just heard of it, but this thing is exactly the same as the dzi described in the legend, it should almost be a dzi, if the legend is good, this thing has the effect of immortality!"

"Immortal!?"

"Yes." Wen Lao said, "It is said that it can transform people's physique and even achieve immortality. Unfortunately, no one knows the detailed usage of this thing, so there are many sayings in the world, some say that it is crushed and taken, some say that it can be taken a little every day, and it can be taken continuously for ten years, and there is also a more bizarre saying that when you are alive, you take the white part, and when you die, put the black part in your mouth, and you will be reborn after a few years. ”

"So amazing!?"

"Although these statements seem absurd and bizarre, they are certainly not groundless, and I think that even if this dzi cannot make people immortal, it can also make people live longer and live a hundred years."

Wen Lao said, his eyes showed a hint of longing magic, after all, he was already in his last years, if he could prolong his life, who would be willing to give up such an opportunity.

"Grandpa Wen," Nan Xun asked, "how do you know these things?" ”

Nan Xun's question seemed to make Wen Lao think of something, and his expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "I learned about it from my master. ”

It turned out that when Wen Lao was a teenager, he played in the fields, and his father worked in the fields, because he was not in good health since he was a child, so his father loved him very much, and basically did not let him do any heavy work, only let him read and write.

In the evening, when the very young Wen Lao saw a person floating in the river, he hurriedly called his father and fished the person out of the water together.

While he still had a breath, he hurriedly carried the person home and found Lang Zhong to treat him.

Lang Zhong prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and the next day, the person was cured.

Later, this person recuperated in Mr. Wen's house for a few days, and when he saw that Mr. Wen was in bad health, he brought some strange things from outside to Mr. Wen from time to time, which tasted like some herbs.

For half a year, Wen Lao's body slowly improved, and when his father saw it, he knew that the man in front of him was not a mortal, but that sharp temperament was rare in the world. Therefore, his father made up his mind to let Wen Lao worship that person as a teacher.

The man nodded, agreeing.

After that, Wen Lao hurriedly kowtowed to serve tea, and at that time, Wen Lao, who was so young, would not know that he had done such a thing later.

After apprenticing, the man began to get some ancient books and classics, so that Wen Lao could see, Wen Lao was young, how could he settle down, for this, he was beaten a lot.

After three years, Wen Lao, who grew up, knew the preciousness of these ancient books and classics he saw, so he began to read books attentively, what art of war, biographies of mountains and rivers, and so on.

When his master saw this, he seemed to be relieved, so he prepared to leave.

Seeing that the master was leaving, Wen Lao was ruthless, so he wanted to follow the master, because he knew that only by following the master could he learn more things.

After his parents agreed, Wen Lao and Master embarked on a journey.

This walk is more than ten years, during which he followed the master from one place to another, Wen Lao saw a lot of things that were not in the book, although Wen Lao did not know what the master was going to do, and the master never said a word to himself, but the means shown by the master made him feel a lot of fear while respecting the master.

At this time, suddenly there was a noise outside the house.
