Chapter 529

The next day.

Li Ming was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he was leisurely instructing his disciples on their training in the boxing gym, as if he had completely forgotten what happened last night. He did not go out alone until dusk.

After walking a short distance, we came across a small boat along the river. The person rowing the boat was an old man in his fifties. He was wearing a conical hat and holding an oar. He looked rather thin.

"Where are you going, sir?" asked the boatman.

Li Ming said calmly, "Just row, you'll get the boat fare."

Seeing that Li Ming had such an extraordinary demeanor, the old man didn't say much and started rowing the boat honestly.

Li Ming stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. The sun was setting in the west, casting a layer of golden light. Even from this position, he could see a picturesque scene.

The distant mountains are reflected in golden light under the setting sun, and the Xuanyu Lake at the end of the Jinquan River ripples slightly under the setting sun, like golden scales.

Even Li Ming had to admit that the scene at this moment was indeed a rare one of peace and comfort.

His eyes flickered as he once again carefully examined the fortune of Nandu City.

"With the mountain and the water as its two legs, the tortoise and the snake coil around each other for an inch. How can there be no calculation without omission? The mysteries of change are more than enough!"

Li Ming recited the poem softly, and the boatman unconsciously repeated it. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he smiled and said, "What a good poem!"

Li Ming smiled and shook his head. Now looking at it again, the energy of Nandu City became clearer.

During these days in Nandu City, I also heard some of the history of Nandu City. I learned that five hundred years ago, there was a self-proclaimed king here who started an uprising during the chaos of Daxia. He also gathered a huge force and called himself the King of Jin.

He has two powerful men, one civil and one military, under his command, Wang and Xie. As the saying goes, gold horns, silver edges and grass belly. The geographical location of Nandu City is not bad, relatively close to the westernmost land. The King of Jin also used to keep a low profile and quietly develop the land by farming. Once he started the rebellion, he immediately swallowed up the land of an entire state, and then he called himself the King of Jin. Unfortunately, his supernatural powers could not defeat fate.

At that time, Daxia divided its troops into four groups, each of which sent out several powerful warriors with magical powers. They swept across the country and crushed the enemy. After a great slaughter, the world was finally at peace!
Naturally, the King of Jin could not escape, and his entire clan was wiped out. After this incident, the thirty-six states suffered heavy casualties and countless deaths and injuries. However, the country became much calmer, and peace has lasted for another five hundred years.

Now it seems that the Nandu City is worthy of being the city that can support a King of Jin. The water vapor in the ground is indeed quite interesting. However, upon closer inspection, some traces of manipulation are found.

Of course, this was not a sudden discovery today, but after living there for a period of time, some unnatural places were discovered due to the flow of water energy in the earth's veins.

Then the boat continued to glide and came to a big bridge. Li Ming looked around and then looked again. These bridges locked the energy of the water veins, but led them in one direction.

Li Mingcai laughed, took out a dime from his pocket, and without even looking at the amount, threw it in front of the boatman, making a crisp sound.

“Let’s stop here.”

The old man heard Li Ming's voice and quickly pocketed the silver. He looked up and said, "Sir, you gave me too much!"

But then he realized that there was nothing in front of him, and there was no one in sight. The boatman was frightened and fell down on the deck. He looked at the silver in his hand carefully three or four times, bit his teeth hard, and was relieved to see that it was still the same dime.

Under his feet were jade-washed stone slabs, which were slightly cool. Soon, an extremely luxurious mansion appeared in front of him. However, the architecture inside was simple and elegant, with white walls and green tiles, which was extremely unique, showing a leisurely background that was different from that of a nouveau riche.

The house is backed by the Jinquan River, and has a great location to guard the water vein. Willow trees are swaying by the river, and under the shade of green trees, a bluestone paved road winds its way away.

Li Ming stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked up. There were two words written on it: Yue Mansion!

There are two rows of guards in front of the gate, each of them walks like a tiger and a dragon, with a strong aura. It is obvious that they all have internal strength. In those small sects, they are enough to become important disciples, but here they are just ordinary security guards.

Li Ming bowed and said, "I am Li Ming, and I am here to visit Master Yue!"

His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone. The guard in front of the door who seemed to be in charge had a slightly changed expression when he heard the voice. He immediately bowed and said, "But is it the owner of the Wuxian Martial Arts School, Li Ming?"

Li Ming nodded lightly and said, "I am the humble one."

The man hurried forward and said, "Master Yue San has already told us that we have a distinguished guest coming today. Master Li, please follow me!"

Then he made a gesture of invitation, winked at the person next to him, and walked in front of Li Ming.

Li Ming didn't say much, just walked silently behind him.

Passing through the gate, the courtyard is lined with lush green pines and cypresses, giving it a leisurely charm that doesn't look like the Yue family has only been prosperous for a few decades.

After crossing another courtyard, you will see a large garden in front of you, with layer upon layer, where you can see a new scene at every step, and the Langya garden has a long and profound meaning.

Walking further, you can see a brightly lit courtyard and a figure walking towards Li Ming in a hurry.

"Mr. Li, you've come at the right time. We've been waiting for you before the dinner even started." This person was naturally Yue Zhenhai, whom Li Ming had met twice. However, he tried his best to force a smile, but it still looked a little unnatural.

Li Ming smiled at him and said, "I'm a little late, please forgive me."

"There is no reason to apologize when a distinguished guest comes to visit. Drink a drink, drink a drink!" Yue Zhenhai said with a smile.

At the same time, the man who brought Li Ming into the yard also bowed and then retreated. Yue Zhenhai brought Li Ming towards the yard.

As we walked in, we saw an open-air banquet. There was a small table in front of everyone, filled with fine wine and delicious food. Before we even sat down, the intoxicating aroma filled our noses.

"Hahaha, is this Master Li who has been making a lot of noise in Wuguan Street recently? It's really better to meet him in person than to hear about him!" A strong voice came.

Li Ming's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, "I'm new here and just trying to make a living."

At the same time, looking around, I saw a man with narrow eyes holding a wine glass and talking with a smile.

"With Master Li's status and position, being a boxer is a bit of a waste of talent. If you are willing, you can come to my Yue family and be a guest official. It would be ten times or even a hundred times more glorious than opening a boxing gym!"

Li Ming said calmly, "If my gym doesn't do well and I'm in debt, I can come and seek refuge with you. Please don't look down on me!"

The man burst into laughter upon hearing Li Ming's words, holding up his wine glass and saying, "Mr. Li is truly a wonderful man, a wonderful man! Let's have a drink!"

At the same time, he slammed the table and a wine glass flew out. Li Ming's expression did not change and he did not move. A pure and colorless energy around his body caught the wine glass. Only a line of wine fell into his throat, and then the glass fell back, without a drop spilled.

This was a beautiful catch, and everyone in the courtyard cheered!
