Chapter 168: Traveling with You

Zhuo Wenjun's words let Huo Guang know what to do, but this does not mean that things can be completed smoothly. [No pop-ups. Because Huo Guang only has three months, and it is not possible to complete the casting of a big tripod in ten days and half a month, and the biggest problem is that the copper required to cast a huge tripod is not something that ordinary people can take. Because the strategic substances of copper and iron were strictly controlled by the imperial court.

"If you have money, you immediately send an order to Lu Shu to see me in Cuihua Mountain. In addition, I prepared the frame, and said to the outside world that I would go to Cuihua Mountain to relax. Huo Guang immediately commanded Zhen Youcai when he left the backyard.

Soon Zhen Youcai prepared everything, and Huo Guang got into the carriage and took the guards out of the city. With the technology of this era, it is also a huge project to cast a heavy weapon like Jiuding, even if it is only one of them.

Huo Guang took a few people to Cuihua Mountain, and now that spring is not long in coming, there are many other rich people in Chang'an on the road to go to Qingqing. Huo Guang casually found a spacious place to sit down halfway up the mountain, and some people who originally wanted to rest here consciously avoided it when they saw that Huo Guang was heavily guarded.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins if your subordinates are late." Soon Lu Shu appeared alone, he knew that Huo Guang had summoned him secretly, so he only brought a coachman, and he went up the mountain alone.

"No need to be polite, sit down." Huo Guang pointed to the open space beside him and said, he and Lu Shu hadn't seen each other for a few months, and Huo Guang was quite satisfied with this subordinate.

"Look at this, how much does it take to cast this? Can you do it? Huo Guang went straight to the topic and took out the Jiuding drawings from his arms.

Lu Shu lowered his head and looked at it carefully, kept calculating in his mind, and after a while, he said with a look of shame on his face: "The subordinates can gather enough craftsmen, and the workshop can be established secretly." However, to cast such a huge tripod, no less than two thousand catties of bronze are required, and it is difficult to collect so much at one time. I wonder if there is a time limit for you? ”

"It should be done within a month at the latest!" Huo Guang said.

As soon as he heard that it would be completed in a month, Lu Shu's face was even more ugly. Huo Guang also saw Lu Shu's face, so he asked, "What is the most difficult place?" I'll figure it out. Huo Guang knew that Lu Shu did have a lot of wealth now, but in this era, there were some things that a businessman could not do no matter what.

"Your Majesty. The subordinates were able to build a workshop and gather craftsmen in seven days, but there was nothing they could do with such a large number of bronze subordinates. Although Lu Shu wanted to do a good job of what Huo Guang had explained, he really couldn't do anything about it with so much bronze.

"Then from now on, you will make preliminary preparations, and in seven days, this gentleman will give you two thousand catties of bronze." Huo Guang immediately said, the matter of bronze is only to find a way by himself.

"No" Lu Shu hurriedly received the order.

"Remember that this matter must be done in secret, and you must not reveal the slightest rumor." Huo Guang admonished.

"My subordinates understand." Lu Shu knew that casting such a huge tripod had exceeded the etiquette system, and it had to be kept strictly secret.

After Huo Guang finished instructing, Lu Shu left in a hurry, and then Huo Guang didn't have much mind to go home. Two thousand catties of copper is definitely not a small amount in this era, and Huo Guang's first thought was to ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly. After all, this is doing things for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But this is equivalent to directly telling Emperor Wu of Han that he is cheating, although with Zhuo Wenjun's analysis, Huo Guang still does not dare to take this risk.

asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for copper, but this plan was rejected, and Huo Guang thought of melting the existing copper again. With his mansion and Lu Shu, think of a way. Two thousand catties of copper is estimated to be not a big problem. However, this will inevitably be too big, you must know that melting two thousand catties of copper is enough to build thousands of weapons or hundreds of armor. At that time, if he was discovered by someone with a heart, Huo Guang would not dare to take this risk.

Before he knew it, Huo Guang's carriage had entered Chang'an City. As soon as it entered an alley, the carriage slowed down, and now it turned into a carriage from the other side, and the coachman saw the frame clearly, so he slowed down.

"Huh. Isn't this Anyangjun's frame? Can you be in the car? Huo Guang heard a familiar voice from outside the car, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw Xiu Chengjun looking at him with a smile.

"What a coincidence! Xiu Chengjun is going home? "Huo Guang has a good relationship with Jin Shi, and the two have also cooperated, but since Huo Guang moved out of the Champion Hou Mansion on his own, there have been fewer opportunities to meet Xiu Chengjun.

"Anyangjun has been in full swing recently, but he hasn't been to the house for a few days. It's rare to meet today, why don't you go to the house and sit down? Xiu Chengjun said with a smile and invited Huo Guang to the mansion.

Because of Jin Vulgar's background and her special status now, her status in Chang'an is actually quite embarrassing. Some of the top elites looked down on gold vulgarity. And some others have to avoid suspicion, as for those who want to make friends with Xiuchengjun, she looks down on them. Therefore, Jin Shu does not have anyone who can be regarded as a friend in the huge Chang'an.

And Huo Guang is somewhat similar to her background, so she looked at Huo Guang differently from the beginning, and Huo Guang also accepted Xiu Chengjun's love, and the relationship between the two is indeed not shallow.

"In that case, I'm going to bother you." Huo Guang readily agreed, and the appearance of Xiu Chengjun made Huo Guang's eyes shine, when he was still in Chang'an Order, Xiu Chengjun helped him. Similarly, in this matter now, the cultivator who can help himself must definitely be counted as one.

It's not the first time Huo Guang has come to Xiuchengjun's mansion, and his current identity is the same as that of Xiuchengjun, so there is no need to be restrained. On the one hand, singing and dancing, on the other hand, there was wine and food, Huo Guang just tasted it, and he had been thinking in his heart, how to say this matter to Jin Shi.

"This is a newly choreographed dance music in the house, what does An Yangjun think? Possibly in the eyes of the law? Xiu Chengjun asked Huo Guang while holding the wine bottle.

Huo Guang also raised the wine bottle and swallowed a small sip, and said with a smile: "These dancers in the Xiucheng Monarch's Mansion are all given by His Majesty, but they are from the palace, and it is difficult to surpass them in the world." ”

"Anyangjun is really good at talking, I have nothing to do all day long, and I don't have any thoughts in the future, so I don't know what to do in the future?" Xiu Chengjun said lonely, it is indeed as she said, although she is beautiful on the surface, there are no children and grandchildren under her knees, and there is no hope for the days to come, just one day at a time.

Xiu Chengjun said with a smile, His Majesty has a deep relationship with your sister and brother, which is the envy of the world. My wife often mentions the king, and if the king is free, he can come to the house and walk around often. Huo Guang said with a humble smile, this is really from the bottom of his heart, the relationship between Huo Guang and Huo Qubing is similar to the relationship between Jin Shu and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. And Huo Qu died early, which Huo Guang really has to envy. At this moment, Huo Guang moved out of Li Yan, and he also let Li Yan get closer to Xiu Chengjun, after all, Xiu Chengjun is a widow, and his wife's diplomacy is better than his frequent movement with Xiu Chengjun.

"I heard that the spring scenery of Cuihua Mountain is thick recently, I wonder if Anyang Jun will have time to travel with me tomorrow?" As soon as Xiu Chengjun heard that Mrs. Huo Guang was beneficial to being close to her, she was already moved in her heart.

"It's so good, naturally I'm willing to travel with you!" Huo Guang only went to Cuihua Mountain today, but he agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's decided, tomorrow morning I will wait outside the city for Anyang Jun and Mrs. Zun." Xiu Chengjun said happily.

"In that case, I'll go back to the house and prepare first." Huo Guang got up and said goodbye, originally he planned to ask Xiu Chengjun for help, but after thinking about it, it might be better to leave this matter until tomorrow to mention it.

After Huo Guang returned home, he came to Zhuo Wenjun's residence again. Tell Zhuo Wenjun about today's progress, and even go to the Chengjun Mansion to talk about it. Now that Huo Guang is lacking a person to give advice, Huo Guang knows Zhuo Wenjun's ability, and unknowingly let her take Dongfang Shuo's place.

"Do you want me to go to Cuihua Mountain tomorrow?" Zhuo Wenjun asked with some surprise.

"Madame, after all, she has no experience in dealing with these powerful people, and she is far inferior to her aunt in this regard, so she wants to ask her aunt to help." Huo Guangdao made it clear that Li Yan was from a humble background after all, and there was a big age difference between him and Xiu Chengjun, so he wanted to let Zhuo Wenjun go with him tomorrow.

"Okay, but have you thought about it, what reason do you use to convince Xiu Chengjun?" Zhuo Wenjun agreed, she knew that Huo Guang and his family were traveling with Xiu Chengjun, and he was also a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, so she continued to ask.

"I think one lie needs thousands of lies to cover up, so it's better to tell her directly!" Huo Guang thought for a moment and said.

Zhuo Wenjun looked at Huo Guang, waited for a moment and asked, "You really thought about it!" ”

Huo Guang lowered his head again when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Huo Guang like this, Zhuo Wenjun seemed a little unbearable, sighed and said, "Why don't you find Princess Pingyang or the general?" ”

Huo Guang knew what Zhuo Wenjun meant, no matter what aspect he meant, he should go to Princess Pingyang or the general for help, but he abandoned these two people and went to Xiu Chengjun instead, which was Zhuo Wenjun's doubt.

"Because of the prince!" Huo Guang didn't think much about it, just said four words simply.

Zhuo Wenjun nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and then said softly: "You are good to your aunt, and your aunt knows in her heart that as long as your aunt is within her ability, she will definitely help you with all her might." The matter of cultivating the king will be handed over to your aunt tomorrow to complete it for you! ”

"Auntie is really sure?" Huo Guang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and asked excitedly. He didn't expect things to turn around so much.

Zhuo Wenjun smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not difficult!" ”

"This ...... It's really curious! Huo Guang was very curious, what seemed to him to be very difficult Zhuo Wenjun was fully sure, and it seemed to be an understatement, and the more important thing was that Zhuo Wenjun and Xiu Chengjun had no contact at all.

"I can't tell you now, go back early, don't make Yan'er wait." Zhuo Wenjun seemed to be in some consideration and did not tell Huo Guang the reason, and urged him to go back to rest early.
