Several medicine boys continuously delivered boxes of poisonous herbs and venom to the poison refining room. After they moved the last box of poisonous herbs of the day, everyone was very tired.
The door of the drug-making room seemed to be sensitive and was opened as soon as they arrived.
The four medicine boys looked at Su Xinguang, whose hair was disheveled, eyes were dark, and he looked extremely haggard, and they couldn't help but feel lucky that they were not the ones staying inside.
Su Xinguang glanced at them, and his scarlet eyes looked at the four people, "The Pavilion Master said that from today on, no one is allowed to approach the alchemy room. Those who disobey the order will be killed."
The four medicine boys nodded continuously.
Su Xinguang took out another wax-sealed envelope and said, "Give this letter to the Seventh Branch Hall and tell the head of the Seventh Branch Hall that he only has half a month. If he fails to do it in half a month, he will die."
The medicine boy took the envelope carefully.
After Su Xinguang finished his instructions, he slammed the door shut, completely cutting off anyone from outside.
The four medicine boys left in a hurry.
Yao Er stopped the chubby Yao Liu and asked, "What's wrong? Is the Pavilion Master angry?"
Yao Liu held his pounding heart and nodded continuously, "Everyone should be more peaceful recently. Don't get close to the poison room. Anyone who gets close will die."
Yao Er and others shuddered with fear.
"Does the Pavilion Master have anything else to say?"
"Yes. The leader of the seventh branch is in trouble this time." Yao Liu didn't dare to say more.
Someone asked Su Xinguang, "Where is that kid?"
"Don't even mention it. It's like all my energy has been drained out. I feel listless and depressed. I'm afraid it won't be long before I die."
"Fortunately, he was promoted this time, otherwise the person staying in the poison refining room would be one of us."
Whenever the Pavilion Master was making poisons day and night, the medicine boys serving him would most likely die.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but no one felt sympathy, all of them looked relieved.
There is a saying that goes 'I would rather die than let my friend die'.
In the poison refining room, Su Xinguang sorted the poisons and began to refine them. As batch after batch of poison was refined, the fatigue on his face became more and more severe, but his spirit was excited.

Let’s talk about what happened in the capital.
The time goes back to one hour before Shangjing City was sealed off.
Among a group of refugees, a middle-aged man with messy hair and skin and bones from hunger was leaning on a crutch, looking at the towering imperial city in front of him and shedding tears of excitement.
He finally arrived in Shangjing City.
He finally arrived at Shangjing City before the city gates were closed.
If the Su family were here, they would definitely recognize at a glance that this person was none other than Su Xiaoyong, the uncle who was tricked by Su Yin.
After escaping the mob that night, he realized that he was reborn.
He was happy and excited, but after the excitement and joy, there was overwhelming hatred.
He hated the third son of the Su family and his wife, but he hated his niece who was so smart that it was frightening even more.
Their family was so miserable in their previous life, so how could that idiot Su Xiaozhong live so happily and even sit on the throne of a prince?
If it weren't for Su Yin, that money-loser, Su Xiaoyong would have been killed by him long ago.
When Su Xiaoyong thought of Su Yin, he wished he could sleep on her skin and eat her flesh.
Su Xiaoyong walked towards the city gate with difficulty. Before he got close, someone shouted at him, "Don't go. The soldiers guarding the city won't let you in."
Su Xiaoyong didn't listen and walked forward on his own. As soon as he approached the city gate, he was immediately stopped by soldiers.
"Who are you? What are you doing in the city?" the soldiers interrogated.
Su Xiaoyong had a flattering smile on his face, "Sir, I'm going in to look for my relatives. I have relatives inside, and I'm here to seek refuge with him."
"Which street in the market does your relative live? What's his surname and what's his first name?"
The officers and soldiers asked a series of questions that stumped Su Xiaoyong.
"I, I, I..." He suddenly thought of the place where Su Yin and his family lived in his previous life, and tried to name it. "They lived at the end of Wushi Lane. Their surname was Su."
Seeing that he was speaking with great confidence, the officers and soldiers asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Su Xiaoyong." Su Xiaoyong answered honestly. Seeing the officer registering him, he asked cautiously, "Sir, can I come in?"
The soldier sneered, "Wait here for a while while our people investigate. If what you said is correct and your relatives are willing to take you into the city, you can enter naturally."
Su Xiaoyong was stunned. "What if they don't want to?"
"Of course you can stay wherever you want, but don't even think about going into the city." The official waved his hand and drove the man away, "Make way now."
As soon as Su Xiaoyong stepped aside, a man in brocade clothes behind him handed over a badge.
The soldiers guarding the city saw the badge and let them pass.
Su Xiaoyong immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why was he able to enter?"
The officer was a little impatient. "They are just people going to the capital. I didn't see them with a pass. If they don't have the pass, get out of here."
Seeing that the other party was angry, Su Xiaoyong didn't dare to say anything more. He squatted in the corner dejectedly and waited for news.
The refugees squatting nearby had already seen what had just happened.
He nudged Su Xiaoyong with his elbow and said, "Brother, do you really have relatives in the capital?"
Su Xiaoyong nodded.
Seeing that he ignored her, the man was upset and said directly: "I tell you, even if you have relatives, you probably won't be able to get in. Humph, those people in the capital don't want to have a freeloader in their family. You, don't hold out any hope."
Su Xiaoyong ignored him.
Half an incense stick later, Su Xiaoyong went to the city gate again to ask the officers and soldiers. It happened that the officers and soldiers who went to investigate came back and spat at Su Xiaoyong with a gloomy face.
"Are you kidding us? The family at the end of Wushi Lane is not named Su at all."
Su Xiaoyong was stunned and muttered, "Impossible!"
They lived in Wushi Lane in their previous life.
"Sir, can you help me look for it again?"
"roll."
The man raised his foot and kicked Su Xiaoyong away.
Su Xiaoyong lost his balance and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
The refugee squatting in the corner was delighted by what he saw.
Bah, it's his fault for looking down on others.
Su Xiaoyong got up from the ground in a panic and limped out of the city gate.
No, he must enter Shangjing City.
If you stay outside, you will die.
All the better spots at the city gate were occupied, so he had no choice but to walk further away.
“Gurgle”…
My hungry stomach was making my stomach ache.
He glanced at the woods behind him and prepared to enter the grove to find some young leaves to satisfy his hunger.
Just as I squatted down to pick some young leaves, I heard footsteps from behind. Following the sound, I saw a man in brocade clothes hurriedly walking into the grove and hurriedly lifting up his clothes to urinate.
Su Xiaoyong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bold and crazy idea came to his mind.
