I do research in ancient times

This request stumped Cui An.

A Zuo is now in the Central Plains, leading the allied forces of the aristocratic family to attack Dingfeng City, how could he be called to Ding'an City?

Even if the dust settles in Dingfeng City, with the Lu family's regard for A Zuo, it is absolutely impossible for A Zuo to seal off the family's territory like him. Doesn't that mean giving the key points of Nanjun to the opponent? !

Although it is unfair to Ah You, the fact is that Ah Zuo's current status is far more important than Ah You.

A Zuo is the heir of the Lu family, and the Feng family takes A You very seriously, but they will never be able to treat him as one of their own, most likely they are still using his talent.

It is impossible for the Feng family to let Ah You leave the border town, and it is impossible for Ah Zuo to set foot in Ding'an City. Ah You's request is too naive.

The reality is cruel, but an uncle can't pierce the truth.After all, from Ah You's standpoint, the Lu and Cui families have already treated him badly. It is quite normal for him to meet his brother and find out what he feels wronged. Cui An has no position to ask him to continue wronging himself.

How to resolve the gap between the two brothers?

Uncle Cui thought hard and racked his brains.

He knew that the crux of the problem was that Ah You had no feelings for them at all. A person who owed you a debt had been ignored for decades, and now he asked you to "be sensible and forgive" when he appeared, how could this be possible? !

So Cui An is going to take a roundabout route, first establish a personal relationship with Ah You, and get closer to see if he can resolve the child's knot.

He wrote several letters to Ah You one after another, without mentioning anything about meeting Lu Shiji, but instead talked about some anecdotes that happened when he was in contact with the Gongshu Jiangpai.

Ayou is a child who grew up in Mozong. Both Mozong and Gongshu Craftsmanship are specialized in skills. Ayou has been fascinated by them since he was a child, so he will definitely be interested in the skills of craftsmen.

Of course, Cui An has been obsessed with skills for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of unique skills.

The Cui family doesn't value these things, and Zuo has no interest in them, and he can't find anyone to communicate with them on a daily basis.

When I came to Ding'an City this time, everything in the city was different from other places. It is said that it all came from Mo Zong's whimsical ideas. Cui An also wanted to discuss it with Ah You.

Communicating with Ah You in this way and connecting feelings will be easier to get closer than dryly discussing the past.

As it turned out, Cui An was right.

"Ayou" is indeed very interested in craftsmanship.Uncle Cui tried to mention the wooden mechanism in the letter, and Ah You returned a transmission rod structure. The transmission effect and design precision were several grades higher than Uncle's, and it was a dimensionality reduction blow.

The uncle who was "struck" was ecstatic, holding the letter and pondering it for several days, and then wrote several rolls of reply letters, urging Chang Sui from time to time to ask if there was any reply.

Chang Sui looked confused, not understanding why his husband suddenly changed his temper, and he no longer had the anxiety and hesitation he had before.

He also tried to inquire, but in the end, he only saw Lang Jun writing in front of the desk, and there were a lot of wood chips and round wheels scattered in the room, no different from when they were in Qijiang City.

Could it be that Mr. Lang has committed an old problem again?

Although I still haven't seen him in person, the communication between Uncle Cui and "Ayou" is much more intense than before.

He found that Ayou's attainments in mechanism art were very high, and a casual sentence broke the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years.And as the communication deepened, Ayou would also send some simple blueprints along with the letter. Cui An was fascinated by just looking at it, and he couldn't think about it, and couldn't let it go.

As a result, Uncle Cui, who was originally a nephew who was going to make a routine, happily lay flat on the bottom of the pit, and the soil dug up greeted him, wishing to bury it deeper, and never come out after living in it.

He carefully cut out the blueprint drawn by Ayou, and kept it in his underwear, and carefully took it out to look at it twice a day, for fear of damaging the treasure.

By the way, the "paper" made by Ayou is really easy to use. Not only is it thin and tough, it is also very clear for writing and drawing, and it doesn't smudge at all. The effect is much better than that of cloth and bamboo slips.

Knowing that uncle likes paper, Ah You sent a box with charcoal pencils, calipers and soft erasers when he replied to the letter for the second time.After Cui An figured out how to use it, he was bored writing and drawing in his room every day.

Now he feels more and more that Ah You is his own nephew, the kind who is not mixed with water at all, closer than his own brothers and sisters.

It is said that Uncle Xiao’s nephew, Ah You’s temperament and preferences are almost exactly the same as Cui An’s. Sometimes he only mentions it a little, and the other party immediately understands his true meaning, and there is no need to explain anything.

Sometimes Cui An would also think that if Ah You had been left in Nanjun, he would probably have a more harmonious relationship with the Lu family.For the sake of such a cute nephew, he can ignore some of Lu Tao's thoughts. He took Ayou to find Gongshu craftsman and work together as an agency. The relationship between their nephew and uncle must be closer than others.

A Zuo is smart, but this kind of smart is not like him or his elder sister. He knows how to observe words and expressions, and evaluate the pros and cons at a young age, exactly the same as that old boy Lu Tao.

It's not that this is bad, as the future heir of the Lu family, he knows that it is a good thing to restrain the city.It's just that Cui An always feels that there is still something in this child's heart. Without the innocence of a child, even with his own uncle, he can't get along with him, and there is always a layer of distance.

Cui An tried to break this distance when the child was young, but Ah Zuo had grown into an adult in a blink of an eye, his character had already formed, and if he wanted to change it, he might hurt the harmony of both parties.

After all, it's still different.

Cui An stroked his beard.

Although Ah You and Ah Zuo are twins, they are still different after all.

With his character, he can't be the head of Cui's family, presumably Ah You would have a hard time if he stayed in Lu's family.

It's good that God arranged it this way.

As the communication with Ah You deepened, Cui An became more and more curious about everything in Jiuling City.

Once, Ah You explained the carriage tires and spring shock absorbers to him in a letter, and sent someone to send samples.Cui An fiddled with the courtyard of the station all afternoon, and dismantled the inner structure, shouting wonders again and again.

"Since Lang Jun likes it, why don't you ask Mo Zong Juzi, can you let us go to Jiuling City to open our eyes?"

His follower suggested in a low voice.

Cui An was startled, and then realized that the Mo Zong's son Chang Sui was talking about should be Ah You.

He didn't tell anyone about Ah You's life experience, and now everyone around him thinks that he just committed an old habit and was obsessed with Mo Zong's craftsmanship, so he communicated frequently with Mo Zong Juzi.

But Chang Sui reminded Cui An.

Recently, his conversation with Ah You was very speculative, and Ah You seemed to understand Uncle's difficulties, he no longer mentioned Ah Zuo and the Lu family in the letter, and his tone was much slower than before.

If you propose to meet now, will Ayou accept it?

He tried to mention it in the next communication, but he didn't expect Ah You to agree.

The meeting place was set at the largest restaurant in Ding'an City, and the time was also agreed in the letter, and there was no limit on the number of people traveling together like last time.

But Ah You didn't say it, but Uncle couldn't help it.

He left all the people sent by Lu Tao at the inn, ready to go to the appointment alone.

As a result, he was stopped by Chang Sui as soon as he arrived at the door, begging Cui An to bring some people.

"Lang Jun, this is not Qijiang City after all. If you go out by yourself without escort from the Feng family, we can't tell what happened!"

Cui An was annoyed by his posture of hugging his thigh, and wanted to kick him, but was stopped by the other side's words behind him.

"Lang Jun!"

Chang Sui suddenly lowered his voice.

"Mr. Lang and Mo Zong's juzi had a very happy conversation. If outsiders start to stir up trouble and sow discord..."

Cui An listened to the last four words.

Chang Sui didn't know that it was Ah You who he was going to meet, Ah You believed in him, and he didn't restrict him from bringing his followers.

However, if someone wants to use this opportunity to start a riot, wouldn't that be tantamount to causing trouble for Ah You! ?

Thinking of this, Cui An changed his mind, picked up a few capable people who were given to him by Lu Shiji before, and went to the appointment together.

The restaurant is on Zhuque Street in Ding'an City, and it is very lively with people coming and going.Cui An went straight to the box on the second floor, and there were two disciples dressed as Mo Zong waiting at the door. Seeing him bring someone forward, he bowed his hands to greet him, and then led them into the box.

Cui An was a little nervous, but this time the expectations were different from last time, and there was a little more joy of meeting friends.

He tidied up his clothes and asked the accompanying guards to wait at the door, while he pushed open the door of the box with his own hands.

The moment the door opened, he saw a young man in green clothes standing in the room.

He turned his head, and the moment his gaze met Cui An, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

At this moment, Cui An's eyes suddenly turned sour, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.

It's Ayou, it's Ayou! That's right!There is no one in the world who looks so similar to Ah Zuo, but Ah You has a purer smile than Ah Zuo, but his body is much thinner and weaker. It looks like he was injured when he was a child.

He opened his mouth and was about to call out to the other party, but at this moment, the corridor behind him suddenly changed!

Puff puff a few times, and the evil wind came from behind.Cui An was horrified, and turned his head instinctively, only to see one of his guards holding a crossbow in his hand, with the tip of the crossbow pointing in his direction.

Instinctively, Cui An used his body to block, he wanted to stop the opponent with his life, and prevent him from harming the teenager in the box.

But it was too late.

The other party stretched out his hand vigorously, and threw him away. A few silver needles were activated by the crossbow strings, brushing Cui An's right shoulder and rushing out, directly stabbing the chest of the boy in the room!

Cui An didn't care about the pain in his body, and rushed to the door of the box, and saw a big blood flower on the boy's chest, and the blue gown was instantly soaked in bright red.

The boy, who was no different from A Zuo, clutched his chest, eyes full of astonishment and despair, staring in his direction and slowly fell down by the window.

"Ayou——!"
