This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 370 Little Master

Has the situation changed?

When Wang Qiangzhuang and Luo Zijun's group were led into the magnificent palace in the cave with trepidation and doubt, a handsome old man with a full head of red hair was standing in front of the wall, carefully looking at a map carved on the wall.

The map was enormous, taking up almost the entire wall.

The cities, islands, and even some unknown towns and villages were marked with golden notes, which looked glittering and matched the luxurious style of the entire hall quite well.

Luo Zijun was certain that when she came here with the captain yesterday, this luxurious map was definitely not on this wall.

In the corner, there were still several treasure chests piled up.

All sorts of treasures, radiating dazzling colors, made Song Erlang and his companions unable to look away.

At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten the true protagonist of this great hall.

"Was he castrated?"

The handsome old man with a full head of red hair still stared at the map on the wall, his aged voice seeming to come from tens of thousands of years ago.

The blue-haired man holding a steel fork said respectfully, "That kid said that not casting him out is more valuable than casting him out, and he hopes to come to you in person to plead for him."

Redbird looked at the map and sneered, saying, "I don't have a daughter who needs his thing. What difference does it make whether I castrate him or not?"

Shui Nan's face flushed, and he lowered his head in shame, saying, "Captain, I..."

Redbird turned around, ignoring him, and looked at the boy behind him. His handsome face was calm as water as he asked, "Boy, then tell me, why would it be more valuable not to castrate you?"

Luo Zijun cupped his hands and said, "If you don't castrate me, I can continue to save lives and heal the world; but if you castrate me..."

"how?"

The red bird seemed to ask with great interest.

“I might go mad and poison everyone on the island and in the town, regardless of age or gender, including you, Captain.”

Luo Zijun said very seriously.

There was a moment of silence in the main hall.

Red Bird's expression remained calm and composed, but a hint of mockery seemed to appear in his eyes: "You overestimate yourself and underestimate the people on the island."

His gaze fell on the girl behind Shui Nan, and he asked, "A Wu, if you knew about his crazy idea, what would you do?"

"I will kill him with one blow."

Ah Wu answered without hesitation.

Then he added, "I'll kill myself with one more blow."

A smile appeared on Red Bird's lips, but there was no smile in his words: "You should gouge out your own eyes first, and of course, your father's eyes as well."

A-Wu lowered her head.

The hall fell silent for a moment, then Luo Zijun suddenly asked, "Senior must have changed his mind, right?"

Redbird looked at him, its gaze sharp as a knife: "What idea?"

Luo Zijun said, "If it's just about me and A-Wu, Senior doesn't need to make such a fuss, especially since Senior already knew about our affair. So, Senior must have something else to tell us to come back, right?"

Red Bird narrowed its eyes and said, "Then tell me, what is it?"

Luo Zijun said, "It must be about going to sea."

After a pause, he added, "Of course, the senior couldn't have gone to sea because of us. Perhaps he suddenly received some news and had no choice but to go to sea. It just so happens that he can take us with him."

A mocking smile appeared on Redbird's lips: "Even if we're going to sea, why should we take you with us? Just because of your pitiful reward?"

Luo Zijun said, "Senior certainly wouldn't care about our payment, but perhaps there are some areas where we can be of service. For example, our various skills, or perhaps my medical skills..."

The red bird looked at him calmly and said nothing more.

Luo Zijun could clearly sense that this handsome old man was looking at her with a strange and unfamiliar gaze.

He was very puzzled.

What exactly caused the other party to suddenly change their mind?

Moreover, the way the other person was looking at him now seemed to be filled with some indescribable interest.

"We'll set off in two days."

After a long silence, the red bird spoke these words, then ignored them and turned back to look at the map on the wall.

When Wang Qiangzhuang and the others followed the guards out of the underground cave, they could not hide their excitement and joy.

"Captain, why did Senior Red Bird suddenly change his mind?"

"Great! We can finally cross the sea! We've waited so long, we almost thought we'd have to give up halfway."

Wang Qiangzhuang was relatively calm.

She was pondering the conversation between the senior Red Bird and Flower Willow.

Clearly, this matter has a lot to do with syphilis.

"What did you do after we left there yesterday? Or, who did you meet? What did you say?"

She looked at the boy beside her, who also looked thoughtful, and asked him.

Luo Zijun shrugged, somewhat confused. "I didn't do anything, and I didn't see anyone." Wang Qiang seemed unconvinced, staring at him and asking, "Where were you last night? Who were you with? What did you do?"

Shui Wu, who was following behind, blushed.

Luo Zijun calmly replied, "I stayed at A-Wu's house last night, chatting with her. I didn't go anywhere else or do anything else."

"Is it just chatting?"

Xu Ziyin, who was following behind, suddenly spoke in a cold voice.

"none of your business."

Luo Zijun didn't give her a friendly look.

Xu Ziyin snorted and didn't say anything more.

Lu Yao, who was standing next to him, had an icy expression on her face and gave someone a cold look.

After the group left, an elderly man with a cane appeared in the magnificent underground palace.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same Dr. Sun who had questioned Luo Zijun's medical skills and verbally abused her.

However, at this moment, Dr. Sun, leaning on his cane, swaggered up the steps and sat on the golden chair that only the red bird could sit on. As he sat, he stroked and looked at it from left to right, clicking his tongue and saying, "Ah Xiang, you are living a very comfortable life. It is much better than this old man's."

The red bird, which had been so imposing in front of Luo Zijun and the others just moments before, now bowed slightly, its face full of humility, and said, "If Your Excellency likes..."

"What kind of prime minister is this? Where is the prime minister? I don't see him at all."

Dr. Sun squinted and started cursing.

Red Bird quickly changed his tune: "If Ancestor Fang likes it, he can move this palace away."

What would I do with your palace?

Doctor Sun, with a cold face, snorted and said, "I can't enjoy this blessing."

Red Bird suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, weeping bitterly, "Fang Zu has misunderstood A Xiang. Ever since Fang Zu took the young master and disappeared across the sea, A Xiang, under the orders of his grandmother, also left there and has been searching at sea every day for so many years, scouring the entire ocean and coastal cities and countries... After my father was skinned and dismembered by those bastards, I prepared to go back for revenge, but my grandmother sent a letter from prison, asking me to continue searching for you and the young master. Other exiled families are also searching everywhere..."

Doctor Sun stared at him with a cold gaze, and sneered, "Yes, other exiled families are also searching for us everywhere... But some of them are not looking for loyalty, but to capture us and take us back to the Fire Wolf King for a reward."

Redbird, its eyes red, said, "Those traitors have been killed by us! Ancestor Fang, where is our young master now? We have been waiting day and night for his return. We will immediately raise an army to help our young master reclaim the throne and kill the traitors!"

Doctor Sun did not answer, but stared at him with his cold gaze for a while before his tone softened slightly: "Tell me about you and your grandmother, and about the families you mentioned yesterday. So many families were killed back then, how did you survive?"

Red Bird wiped away her tears and immediately stood up to recount her story: "When the Cave Fire Wolves led their army into the Southern Territory, our Red Eagle Clan received the news and immediately, under the orders of our grandmother, gathered all our clansmen to join forces with the Black Eagle Clan. At General Yun's summons, we rushed to the Southern Territory to provide support..."

"Upon entering the southern border, we encountered the armies of Snake Valley and the Sheep Clan. We joined forces and headed to the front lines. However, on the third night when we set up camp to rest, the Snake Valley army suddenly released poison, and the Sheep Clan army also launched a surprise attack. Our Red Eagle Clan and Black Eagle Clan were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, leaving us no choice but to flee..."

Dr. Sun sat in his chair, listening quietly, his expression constantly changing.

Although he already knew about these things, hearing them now still filled him with anger and hatred.

“Until the rebels stormed Snow Jade Palace, my father, uncles, and I were still resisting…”

……

In the evening, Doctor Sun left the palace.

As he was leaving, he said in a deep voice, "I came alone this time, just wanting to go back and see some old friends and things. As for Your Highness, when it is time for you to see him, I will naturally take you to see him."

Two days later.

When Luo Zijun and her group arrived at the lakeside, the boat was already ready.

Liu Sisi was also tied up and thrown into the boat.

That day she went back to seek rescue, bringing a group of people with her, but they were all captured as soon as they reached the lake.

"Where is Senior Red Bird?"

Wang Qiangzhuang was still a little uneasy because he didn't see the senior Red Bird.

Moreover, we didn't see any ships going out to sea. It couldn't possibly be just those small boats that would break into pieces with a single wave, could it?
Shui Nan boarded the boat and said, "The captain isn't here."

He paused, then looked out at the ocean and said, "He and the Red Skull are in the sea."

"Hai Li?"

"Red Skull?"

Wang Qiangzhuang and the others were taken aback upon hearing this. They turned around and gazed at the sea not far ahead.

But the area was shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"set off!"

At Shui Nan's command, several small boats sailed towards the sea ahead.

On the lakebed, many shadows began to move following the small boat.

"Uncle Nan, are you going too?"

Luo Zijun asked.

Shui Nan sat at the bow of the boat, holding a cane in her hand, gazing at the distant lake. Hearing this, she turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and said, "What if you bully my A Wu if I don't go? Don't worry, even though I'm missing a leg, I'm still useful."
