Huo Guang's convoy accelerated the speed after leaving Chang'an City, because they were all cavalry and carriages, and the roads in the capital were flat and wide. The convoy traveled more than 40 miles in half a day. At noon, the convoy found a station for a short rest, but strangely, there was a carriage in the convoy, even when it was resting, and more than ten people were guarding each other.

"Has all arranged it?" Huo Guang and Zhen Youcai walked on a remote open space in the inn. This time, Huo Guang brought Zhen Youcai with him. First, this was not just returning home in glory, and he needed a real confidant to do something. Second, Zhen Youcai was also from Pingyang, and going back with him was considered as a Guanghao family.

"All have been arranged. We live in Xinfeng County tonight. I will take my things with you early tomorrow morning." Zhen Youcai whispered behind Huo Guang. In recent years of experience in Chang'an, Zhen Youcai is no longer the son of a butcher in that small place. He has already developed a calm and generous temperament. In addition, his thoughts have become Huo Guang's right-hand man. The name of General Zhen is not only in Anyang Jun Mansion, but also in Chang'an City.

"Well, this matter is quite serious. I will be relieved as long as you go to do it yourself. In addition, I will ask Huo Shiyi and Huo Shier to go with you. There must be no mistakes in this matter." Huo Guang nodded and said, not only did he bring his family with him this time, but the Twelve Guards were all dispatched.

Before sunset, Huo Guang's convoy arrived outside Xinfeng County. Xinfeng was still under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin, so before entering the city, the Xinfeng County Magistrate brought dozens of people to welcome him outside the city. As Jingzhao Yin, Huo Guang was the direct boss of the county magistrate. When he learned that Huo Guang was going to return home from here, he started making arrangements a few days in advance. Huo Guang and Xinfeng County Magistrate said a few simple words and entered the city to rest. Although this era was a carriage, he was still a little tired after a day's trip.

Before dawn the next day, the north gate of Xinfeng County opened an hour earlier than normal. As nearly a hundred cavalry guarded a carriage out of the city, the city gate closed again, and no one in the entire county town except for the soldiers guarding the city gates noticed it.

Because of his family, Huo Guang's convoy started to slowly leave the city at the september hour. "Husband, why are they missing? It seems that there are many people missing?" Li Yan sat in the carriage and hugged Huo Chengjun and asked Huo Guang.

"Well, I'll let them take the lead. There is still ten days on the way. They took the initiative to handle the matters first. After leaving Jingzhao Yin, they have to rely on the arrangements of the local county magistrate when they arrive in each county." Huo Guang said gently stroking the back of Li Yan's hand.

Huo Guang was covered with a quiet and he was rarely with his wife and children all day long. Three days later, Huo Guang's convoy finally left the Jingzhao Yin range and officially entered the jurisdiction of Hedong County. The first city in Hedong County they visited was Puban. After resting here for a night, he passed through Jie County and Anyi to Wenxi County. In Wenxi City, Huo Guang and his party rested here for two days before setting off again.

"Madam, we will arrive in Linfen at the next stop. When we arrive in Linfen, we will change boats and get waterways for one day and then reach Pingyang. However, Wenxi is quite far from Linfen, so we can only rest at the inn tonight for a night." Huo Guang whispered softly at his somewhat tired wife and daughter. In this era, hundreds of miles of journey are a difficult test for anyone, and the waterway is the fastest and most stable mode of transportation.

When he arrived in Linfen, Huo Guang once again met Zhen Youcai and the nearly 100 guards who had taken the lead. The Linfen County Magistrate naturally welcomed him from afar. Although Huo Guang was not the chief of Hedong County, Jingzhao Yin, Anyang Jun, and the emperor's close minister, any identity is worthy of the county Magistrate.

"Your Majesty has everything been arranged, and the large and small ships required for the waterway have been prepared. The boatmen are experienced old men, so there will never be any problems. You can board the ship early tomorrow morning, and you can reach Pingyang City at all times at Shenshi." Zhen Youcai earnestly rewarded Huo Guang as soon as he saw Huo Guang. Although it was a trivial matter, he was quite concerned about it when he saw Huo Guang's expression.

"Husband, this is my first time riding a boat. I never thought that this boat was so stable in the water!" Li Yan said happily to Huo Guang in the breeze, and Huo Chengjun was also very happy on the boat, looking around from time to time. Even after taking a carriage for several days, on the spacious boat, and with the changes in the scenery on both sides of the strait, Huo Guang also felt extremely comfortable.

"No wonder when the world was peaceful, the river transportation was extremely developed. The time limit for this transportation capacity was incomparable to land. It was a lot of manpower to clear the river. When the time came, you should write to Your Majesty to develop the river transportation." Huo Guang held the fence with one hand, and naturally thought of the peak dynasties in later generations. Those prosperous dynasties were also extremely developed, and there was even the historical cause of manpower to dig canals. With Huo Guang's current status, he naturally considered more to enrich the people and strengthen the country and the world's well-being.

"Huh, why did you stop the boat?" Li Yan's voice suddenly pulled Huo Guang's thoughts back. Sure enough, dozens of ships of all sizes had already stopped in the river and did not continue moving forward.

Soon a small boat approached the big ship where Huo Guang was located. There were only two boatmen and a guard on the boat. "Your Majesty, a boat in front of you hit a reef in the water and sank. The boat was covered with gold and silver utensils brought by the wife. Now the boatman and his brothers who are good at water are salvaging. General Zhen asked his subordinates to report to you that they can continue to set off in half an hour." The guard explained the reason simply. Before Huo Guang could speak, Li Yan said: "Can anyone suffer casualties? Let General Zhen act carefully. If you can't catch the things, the lives of the soldiers and the boatman are of great importance."

"Just do as my wife wants." Huo Guang said casually, but a trace of expectation appeared on his face, and he still tiptoed slightly under his feet, wanting to look forward.

The guard who was passing the message "Subordinately received the order" quickly left. Huo Guang and Li Yan waited on the boat for a long time but could not see any movement ahead. They saw that half an hour passed quickly.

"Husband, do you want to send someone to the front and take a look?" Li Yan asked with some concern. After all, she was a woman, and she didn't want anyone to die on this happy trip to the hometown.

"Okay, Huo San, go ahead and see what's going on." Huo Guang said to a burly middle-aged man behind him. This man was Huo San, the third among the twelve guards given by Huo. Huo San got on a small boat in Wenyan, and came back in a moment.

"Your Majesty, General Manager Zhen said that all the goods have been salvaged, but when the boatmen were salvaging the goods, they found something like a copper cauldron in the water. The ship hit the thing and sank. If they didn't move this thing away, the big ship behind would probably not be able to get through." Huo Sanyi said.

"Oh, what happened? The river water has not risen yet, so our big ship is really not easy. In this way, you take my token to Linfen and ask the Linfen County Magistrate to arrange people to fish the thing up. Notify the fleet that we will go back to Linfen first, and we will meet Pingyang tomorrow." Huo Guang seemed to have foreseeed it, so he quickly arranged it. However, Li Yan seemed a little unhappy about returning to Linfen and waiting for another day before she could reach Pingyang.

When Huo Guang and his party returned to Linfen, the county magistrate naturally received the order from Huo Guang and arranged for people to salvage foreign objects in the river. In order to show his importance, he himself personally went to the scene to direct the salvage.

In the Linfen Inn, Li Yan and Huo Chengjun went to bed early. However, Huo Guang was walking back and forth in the inn yard, as if waiting for something! Gradually, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the entire county town became quiet, and the moonlight shone and seemed extremely quiet.

Suddenly Huo Guang stopped, because the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the quiet night sky, followed by the sound of the city gate opening. The sound of horse hooves from far to near, and finally came to an abrupt end outside the inn. Huo Guang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his robe shook and walked towards the main hall of the inn.

"Your Majesty, the Linfen County Magistrate asked for a visit and said that there are very important things to report to you." A guard hurriedly met Huo Guang and said hurriedly.

"Well, I'll go see him now." Huo Guang's feet kept walking and said as he walked.

In the main hall of the inn, the Linfen County Magistrate rubbed his hands and walked back and forth anxiously. Although his movements seemed a little nervous, his expression was indeed extremely excited.

"The county magistrate came to see me late at night and didn't know what was wrong?" Huo Guang quickly walked into the main hall and asked from a distance.

When the Linfen County Magistrate heard Huo Guang's voice, he seemed even more excited to step forward, and then bowed deeply and said quickly: "Congratulations to you, congratulations to you, the Lord. The lower officials took people to salvage the things in the river, and they have already salvaged them ashore. However, according to the lower officials' observation, the thing is most likely one of the nine tripods of the Zhou royal family back then."

"Be serious about this? Are you sure that you are one of the legendary Nine Cauldrons?" Huo Guang asked hurriedly, with a look of shock and incredible expression.

"The officials are not sure, but they are eight or nine. I'm here to ask you to come forward to verify it." Linfen County Magistrate said confidently. It is naturally not an ordinary person to be able to be a county magistrate. Although the Nine Cauldrons are only in legends, no one knows what the Nine Cauldrons look like. However, it is still easy to distinguish whether the Nine Cauldrons are from a tripod that is suspected to be the Nine Cauldrons. After all, no one has the ability to cast such a huge tripod by himself in this era. With the pattern and text on the tripod, as long as those who have read books naturally believe that this is one of the Nine Cauldrons.

Huo Guang and Linfen County Magistrate soon appeared on the bank of Fen River. A huge bronze tripod was surrounded by soldiers for three layers, and the attachment had already risen with a huge bonfire. Huo Guang reached out to touch the cold copper tripod and felt a heavy and cold breath. Looking at the patterns and words on it, they all depict the magnificent beauty of mountains and rivers, the properties and geography. In the lines of writing that have gradually blurred under the erosion of time, Huo Guang saw the two words Qingzhou. Adding the mountains, rivers, geography and properties depicted in it correspond to Qingzhou, which is an ancient place name.

"Is this really the Qingzhou tripod, one of the nine tripods?" Huo Guang was a little confused. According to legend, the Zhou Dynasty cast nine tripods with nine provinces, and each tripod corresponds to a state. It seems that the tripod in front of him was the Qingzhou tripod.

"Congratulations to you, congratulations to you. When you return home, you find this Qingzhou tripod that has been lost for many years. Such auspiciousness is another great achievement!" The Linfen County Magistrate happily congratulated him when he saw that Huo Guang also accepted this Qingzhou tripod, one of the nine tripods.

"Mr. County Magistrate, you are wrong! Isn't it congratulations to me, Huo Guang. I should congratulate the Emperor on his loss and regaining the Nine Cauldrons, which is the destiny of His Majesty. Do you understand?" Huo Guang said deliberately with a stern face, and after that, he added another sentence, "Mr. County Magistrate will write a letter tomorrow. Report this matter to Your Majesty in a complete manner, and you can escort this cauldron to Chang'an!"

"I thank you for your kindness! I will definitely do things steadily!" Linfen County Magistrate suddenly knelt down on the ground when he heard this. He was sincerely grateful to Huo Guang. He never expected that Huo Guang could give up such great contributions to him and also gave him the opportunity to escort Qingzhou Ding into Chang'an.
