Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 372 Grandparents and Grandchildren
Let's not talk about Xiao Zong who was crying and breaking down, just say Zuan came over after hearing the news, and at first sight he saw the same "Old Radish Head" as himself.

He immediately fell at Zu Chongzhi's feet, crying even louder than Xiao Zong: "Grandpa, oh Grandpa, you are still alive!"

“Isn’t that nonsense?!” Zu Chongzhi had met Zu An once on the Qianli ship and knew that he was his grandson. He reached out and touched the little carrot-head’s head, and his tone became softer, “Good boy, you have suffered these years.”

"Woo woo, I'm not bitter..." Zuan cried even louder.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. From now on, your grandfather will back you up. Let's see who dares to bully you again." Zu Chongzhi said arrogantly, "I'll give him a set of math problems. Let's see if he dares to do it again."

Then he asked Zu An, "Where is your father? Why doesn't he come to see me? I have many new achievements to share with him."

"My father has been bewitched by the mermaid Jiao Xiaonu and has been following Xiao Zong." Zuan replied hurriedly.

"What a disgrace! Bring him here and I will untie him." Zu Chongzhi's face darkened.

"Where is my father?" Zuan looked around but didn't see any trace of his father.

"I haven't seen him." Ren Yuan and others had never seen Zu Geng either. When they asked Xiao Zong, he still just cried and refused to answer.

Ren Yuan hurriedly sent people to look for him everywhere, but they only found Jiang Ge who was also bewitched.

"Come, do some exercises to clear your mind." Zu Chongzhi hit Jiang Ge on the head with the volume of "The Art of Embroidery".

Jiang Ge immediately showed a look of pain on his face, holding his head and shouting, "This set of questions is so difficult!"

But the blue pupils returned to their original color, fighting poison with poison...

"Put the question aside for now." Ren Yuan asked Jiang Ge in a deep voice, "Where is Zu Geng Zu Sima?"

"Zu Sima..." Jiang Ge finally freed himself from the mathematical dilemma and replied, "He was taken away by Feng Tietou two days ago. He said he had found a good job for him."

"What kind of business?"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably something mechanical. The rebels shouldn't need calendars, mathematics, or anything like that." Jiang Ge replied.

"How does Feng Tietou know that he knows mechanics?" Ren Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Feng Tietou can read minds, he can hear our thoughts." Jiang Ge replied: "That's why he knew the prince's secret and managed to get him back. Naturally, he also knows what Zu Sima is good at."

"I see." Ren Yuan suddenly understood many things that he couldn't understand, including why he suddenly looked at him at the banquet yesterday. It was because he thought of the jade seal at that time.

"No wonder he didn't get angry with Liu Mazi right away. It turns out he already knew what Liu Mazi was thinking."

"Go find Feng Tietou quickly." Zu Chongzhi urged Ren Yuan. He seemed to care more about his son than his grandson.

"I'm afraid the old man will have to go find it himself," Ren Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Feng Tietou has extraordinary magical powers, we can't beat him."

"Idiot." Zu Chongzhi cursed and flew straight towards the city defense mansion, where two powerful magical forces were fighting.

~~
Over there, Feng Tietou and Liu Mazi had been fighting for three hundred rounds, turning the huge city defense house into ruins.

Compared to the limited civilized confrontation between demigods, the battle between the two Nine Apertures was much more brutal. It was a life-and-death battle with no room for maneuver.

At this moment, both of them were covered in wounds, and only less than two out of ten points of magic power remained.

"Feng Tietou, don't be so stubborn. Don't you see that the demigod is here? It's useless for us to decide the winner." Liu Mazi didn't dare to fight anymore, otherwise he would not even have the strength to protect himself when facing the demigod.

"Why would I care about you?" Feng Tietou is as stubborn as his name suggests. "If I can't kill you today, I'll take your last name!"

"Liu Tietou is not bad." Liu Mazi retorted helplessly, and then he gathered his strength and fought Feng Tietou again. Unexpectedly, they both hit the wall at the same time and sat on the ground with their heads in their hands.

He covered his head and then he could see clearly that a figure appeared between them.

He was able to withstand the impact of two Nine Apertures head-on without changing his expression, so it was obvious where the opponent came from.

Even the two men's men were frightened and stopped fighting at the same time.

The person who came was Zu Chongzhi. He first looked at Liu Mazi and then knew who was Feng Tietou.

"Are you Feng Tietou?" Zu Chongzhi put his hands behind his back, bent down and looked at Feng Tietou.

"Yes." Feng Tietou nodded.

"Where did you take my son?" Zu Chongzhi asked in a deep voice.

"..." Feng Tietou was just about to ask who your son is, but when he saw Zu Chongzhi's face, he remembered Zu Geng who he had just taken away from Xiao Zong.

They are both short, with big foreheads, goatees and pointed chins, and look like two carrot heads.

"Senior, are you asking about Zu Geng?" Feng Tietou asked.

"Yes, that's my son." Zu Chongzhi nodded.

"I sent him to Xindu." Feng Tietou replied.

"Why did you send him there?" Zu Chongzhi asked.

"The emperor wrote to me last time, saying that in order to deal with the imperial army, he urgently needed skilled craftsmen who were proficient in mechanical engineering, and asked me to help find one or two." Feng Tietou said, "I just happened to know that Zu Sima was an expert in this field, so I sent him to the emperor."

"Where did the emperor come from?" Zu Chongzhi frowned.

"Ge Rong has already proclaimed himself emperor and named his country Da Qi," Feng Tietou explained.

"Oh, so he is a makeshift emperor." Zu Chongzhi suddenly realized, "His name and his character are all makeshift, I'm afraid he won't last long."

"Yes, yes..." No matter how stubborn Feng Tie was, he would never talk back to a demigod. Besides, Du Luozhou and Ge Rong had fallen out, and the latter was more accurately an enemy.

"You are a traitor!" As expected, Liu Mazi cursed angrily, "You are actually flirting with Ge Rong."

"Hehe." Feng Tietou was not ashamed, but proud of it and laughed: "More friends mean more ways to survive, fewer enemies mean fewer ways to die."

"I didn't know Zu Sima was your son at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to give him away." Then he quickly said to Zu Chongzhi:
"I'll write a letter and get him back."

"It's probably impossible." Zu Chongzhi said with a dark face, "Although my son is a little bit stupid, he is an absolute genius. He has surpassed his master in mechanical engineering. When Ge Rong sees him, he will definitely fall in love with him. How could he let him go?"

"Let's still give it a try. Ge Rong is the emperor now and is busy giving birth to princes every day. Maybe we haven't seen him yet." Feng Tietou said with a smile.

"Well, write it." Zu Chongzhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "If my son is safe, it's fine. If anything happens to him, you can expect to pay with your life."

"Yes, yes, if something really happens, there is no need for you to help me, I will end it myself." Feng Tietou was extremely flexible at this moment, and there was no sign of stubbornness at all.

After he finished writing the letter on the spot, Zu Chongzhi took it, glanced at the two men and their men and said, "You continue."

Having said that, he disappeared.
