I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 66: Move
The next day, He Shaohua escorted Chang Miao and Li Ming a full ten miles away, and also gave them a lot of things. However, Li Ming refused on the grounds that Chang Miao could not carry so many things by herself, and only picked out a few things to take with him.

Seeing that they had reached the boundary marker, Li Ming took Chang Miao out of the carriage and said with a bow, "Even if I send you a thousand miles away, there is still a farewell. Sending you here is enough."

Seeing this, He Shaohua took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "No matter what, Hejia Town welcomes you back. You know, this will always be your home."

Li Ming also nodded and said, "This place will always be our roots. Please help take care of the charity cemetery on Henglong Mountain in the future. I don't want to see the pine tree my master planted die."

Chang Miao also said: "If I don't see this tree next time I come back, I won't forgive you!!!"

He Shaohua raised his hand and smiled, saying, "I will keep this promise for my whole life!"

At that moment, the three of them high-fived each other and formed an alliance, knowing in their hearts that there is always someone in this world who cares about you.

Originally, He Shaohua wanted to send a carriage and a coachman, but Li Ming refused on the grounds that this trip was also a good opportunity to see the beautiful scenery and he wanted to take his junior brother for a good walk, so after parting, Li Ming and Chang Miao continued to walk.

After walking another four or five miles, we saw a pavilion in front of us. This kind of pavilion is not uncommon. In the wilderness, there is usually such a pavilion at regular intervals, which is convenient for cooling off or taking shelter from the rain. Some are funded by local governments, and some are built by local wealthy people. They are a kind of public facilities.

But the strange thing is that at this moment this place is almost in an awkward place with no village in front and no shop behind, and there is actually a person in the pavilion. If someone is really bored and comes here for a picnic or outing to rest, it is normal, but Li Ming knows the person in the pavilion.

"Gentlemen, why don't you come to the pavilion and rest for a while?"

Seeing the two people approaching, the man also spoke.

Li Ming and Chang Miao looked at each other, and walked into the pavilion with great interest. When this person saw them, he knelt down and bowed deeply.

Li Ming didn't refuse. He just watched him kneel on the ground and said, "You're really a strange person. Do you have some weird habit of kneeling when you see everyone? You knelt yesterday and you're kneeling today too?"

Yes, this person was none other than Chen Xingyu, the second son of the Chen family, who had been kneeling at the gate of the He residence for the entire day yesterday.

After Li Ming's suggestion yesterday, Mr. He finally let the Chen family go, and Chen Xingyu guessed that it must be related to the people who went to the He Mansion yesterday, so he asked people to inquire about the information of the two and pay attention to the movements of the He Mansion. Sure enough, He Shaohua went out this morning to see Li Ming and Chang Miao off, so Chen Xingyu decided to find an opportunity to meet them.

"Sir, you are joking. Yesterday, it was for the lives and property of my entire Chen family, but today it is because Mr. Xie saved my Chen family." After finishing the ceremony, Chen Xingyu stood up straight, with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Ming was even more impressed when he saw this, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I can't save anyone."

Seeing Li Ming pretending to be confused, Chang Miao also said nonchalantly: "Brother, why bother with him? Let's go now."

"Wait a minute, gentlemen!" Chen Xingyu shouted hurriedly.

"I've already investigated the cause of the incident. It all started with jealousy between my eldest brother and Young Master He. Although my eldest brother is stupid, he wouldn't have done this. He was probably deceived by a villain, but..."

Chen Xingyu paused and said, "I have no intention of exonerating my eldest brother. He has already paid the price for his actions. You two gentlemen are very capable. Regardless, I want to thank you."

After saying that, he bowed deeply three times.

"If you are just here to express your gratitude today, then you have already expressed your gratitude and you can leave," said Li Ming.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyu said, "So, sir, you admit that you have helped my Chen family?"

Li Ming smiled faintly and said, "He's cunning, but he's only doing it for the good of the He family." Chen Xingyu nodded and said, "Sir, you're right. The He family hasn't been able to get to where they are today simply because they're ruthless. The He family's reputation as a benevolent businessman is known throughout the world. If they force our Chen family into a desperate situation, it will also damage our reputation."

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. What exactly did you come to us for?" Li Ming interrupted.

Chen Xingyu looked at Li Ming's frank eyes and then said, "I would like to ask you, sir, what does the future hold?"

"The future?" Li Ming laughed and pointed at Chen Xingyu.

"Good boy, I think you are not only cunning, but also deceitful. Who can predict what the future will hold? I dare to say, do you dare to believe it?"

Chen Xingyu said solemnly, "I believe it!"

"Oh?" Li Ming's evaluation of him immediately increased by two points. He did not show it on his face. He just turned his back and spoke slowly.

"There is no dynasty in the world that will last forever."

Chen Xingyu was shocked, but said, "But how can we have the atmosphere of the end of a dynasty today? Every time a dynasty changes, it is always natural disasters or man-made disasters, and the people are in dire straits. Only then will someone rise up and respond to the call."

Chang Miao also interjected, "You mean to say that although the common people are suffering a bit, they can still make a living, right?"

Chen Xingyu was silent for a moment, thought about it, and seemed unable to refute, so he nodded.

"That was in the past. Things are different now." Li Ming sighed. "In the past, there were no Western cargo ships carrying gold and silver day and night. The world is no longer what it used to be. The world is so vast now, and we only occupy a small corner. The dynasty change you mentioned was caused by internal factors, but now it may be caused by external factors."

"Sir, are you talking about foreign invasion?" Chen Xingyu looked cautious.

Li Ming, however, still had his back to him and could only sigh, "This is just my worry. I hope I'm overthinking it. Right now, there's discord within the palace, and powerful enemies are surrounding us from outside. And who among the officials, both high and low, is not solely focused on their own interests? Alas, I'm an outsider, and shouldn't have been too involved, but unfortunately, I can't let it go."

Only then did Li Ming turn around, look at Chen Xingyu and say, "If you ask me about the future, I'm not sure, but I can only remind you that if you fall behind, you'll be beaten. Perhaps you should go see the world. He Shaohua has a very broad vision."

Chen Xingyu was obviously surprised when he heard He Shaohua's name.

Li Ming took out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is a gift from Shaohua. I'm giving it to you now. Shaohua will trust you with it. I hope you will get along well."

"Sir! What do you mean?" Chen Xingyu asked.

"Whether to go or not is up to you. I'm just giving you a chance to choose!" After saying that, he didn't give Chen Xingyu a chance to continue asking questions but strode out of the pavilion.

Li Ming touched the Eight-Gate Dragon-Seeking Plate on his chest and thought to himself.

"Master, don't you really know why the He family's great fortune can help you leverage the dragon energy? Now you've passed on to me a spiritual weapon that has been nurtured by dragon energy for thirty years. Now you think death is the end of everything, but you throw this burden on my shoulders. You really think highly of me!"

Then a wry smile appeared on his face, but his steps were very firm.
