Chapter 55: Report to Jishitang and ask for poison
Li Yaoguang was in a hurry, so he got straight to the point and stated his purpose, "Young man, I have something urgent to deal with. Is Doctor Wu here? Is he not seeing patients?"

The medicine boy saw that Li Yaoguang looked unhappy and thought that it might be an urgent matter. After all, this little girl had a sick child at home, so he responded immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes. The master is not seeing patients today. He has already gone to bed at this hour. If you are in a hurry, I will open the door for you. Please come in and wait for a moment. I will go and invite the master."

Li Yaoguang nodded, and when she saw the medicine boy put down the door panel in his hand and was about to take down the second one, she hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, that's it. I'm small, so I can get in." As he said that, he leaned sideways and squeezed through the gap in the door, then turned around and asked the medicine boy to close it.

The medicine boy did not dare to delay and hurriedly put the door back up. As soon as the big wooden bolt fell, he turned around and said to Li Yaoguang, "Young lady, wait a moment. I will go and ask the master."

"Wait a minute." Time was short and the task was heavy, so Li Yaoguang simply took the initiative to follow, "I'll go with you."

"Isn't this... bad?"

"Oh! What's the good thing? Take me there quickly. It's an emergency. It's a matter of life and death. Hurry up. If you're late, both you and I will lose our lives!"

The medicine boy was hesitant at first, thinking to himself, why are you so anxious, a little girl? No matter how old my master is, and no matter how young you are, there is still a difference between men and women!

As a result, the little girl gave him a scolding right away, saying that both his life and mine were in danger. The medicine boy was stunned, but when he saw that Li Yaoguang's expression was genuine, he reacted and did not dare to delay and quickly led Li Yaoguang to the backyard of Jishidiang.

Doctor Wu is sixty-two years old this year, which is considered a long life at this age. This is all thanks to the fact that he is a doctor and knows a lot about how to maintain health.

However, no matter how well he took care of his health, he was old after all, and he slept less. Although he went to bed early at night, he could not fall asleep in bed. He tossed and turned, thinking about the prescription that his junior fellow apprentice had just sent him. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door in front of the shop.

Thinking that his disciple was on duty at the front, Doctor Wu did not move at first. Then he heard the familiar footsteps of his disciple hurriedly coming towards his room. The old man guessed that someone might come to see a doctor at night, so he did not dare to delay. He sat up with a shudder, quickly grabbed the clothes he had taken off at the end of the bed when he went to rest, and stood up.

Hearing two footsteps approaching from afar, the old doctor frowned, wondering if he was bringing the patient to the backyard to see him? Was he a regular customer?

But the footsteps behind him were light and steady, and didn't sound like those of a sick person?

While he was still wondering, he heard his disciple knocking on the door, "Master, Master, wake up..."

"Don't shout, I'm awake." The old doctor put aside his doubts and quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes. While he was tying up his shoes, he asked, "Who is seeking medical treatment?"

The medicine boy who had been waiting respectfully at the door after hearing his master wake up glanced at the person standing next to him and replied respectfully, "Master, it's Miss Li from the Zhenwei Marquis's Mansion."

"Miss Li? What's wrong? Could it be that her uncle is injured again?"

The boy suddenly looked at the person next to him with an embarrassed look on his face. Li Yaoguang frowned and simply spoke out his purpose.

"Thank you for your concern, Doctor. It's not that my uncle is injured again, but today I got the news that the Hudi army of 200,000 broke through the border and the capital was in danger. Your Majesty abandoned the capital and the people, and fled in a hurry under the pretext of praying to God! Doctor Wu, I am grateful for your concern for me, and I came to tell you the news at night."

"Wha, what?"

"Really? Young lady, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

When these words were spoken, both people inside and outside the house were shocked.

The medicine boy looked at Li Yaoguang with surprise in his eyes and asked questions repeatedly; and inside the door that was suddenly opened, Doctor Wu's eyes were also full of disbelief;
Li Yaoguang looked at the two of them and nodded with a heavy heart.

"It's absolutely true. I can't elaborate on the source, but I can guarantee with my life that I heard this secret with my own ears and witnessed it with my own eyes. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Of course he believed it. The old doctor believed that he was good at judging people, and he had talked to Li Yaoguang many times. He knew that although the child was young and a girl, she was a steady person and would not act without a purpose. Moreover, she was born into a noble family, so she might have some inside information. Of course he believed it.

It is because they believe that they feel heartbroken, shocked, sad and angry!
Seeing their pupils trembling and all kinds of complicated emotions playing out one after another, Li Yaoguang also sighed.

Such news, even for a modern person, will have its worldview shattered and shocked every time I hear it. What about the ancients in this era who have been educated about heaven, earth, the emperor, parents, teachers, family and country since childhood?

Being abandoned by one's own emperor is hard for anyone to accept.

"Hey, Doctor Wu, now is not the time to be sad and upset. The most important thing is that we have to find a way to save ourselves.

To be honest, I have personally verified it during the day. Kyoto has been sealed and all six gates are blocked. People outside say that those in an emergency can get a pass to leave the city, but the actual situation is that the pass is fake and cannot be issued at all! My daughter has also verified this.

So, Doctor Wu, if you have the conditions, it would be best to find a way to leave the city, and hurry out as soon as possible; if you can't, then prepare a lot of food and supplies, and find a safe and secure place to hide for the time being...

It is true that Hu Di broke through the pass. Although there is a large army blocking them, the capital is in great danger under the pressure of the two passes. The emperor himself has fled. Who knows when the army will be at the gates of the city. We can't gamble on the possibility. I must leave. Doctor Wu..."

The old man was stunned by the news brought by Li Yaoguang, but was brought back to his senses by Li Yaoguang's shouting. He looked at Li Yaoguang with gratitude, patted Li Yaoguang's tender shoulders heavily, and comforted her instead.

"Little girl, thank you for thinking of me when you were in trouble. I am grateful for your kindness. As for leaving, you don't have to worry. I have my own plans. If you need help, I can take you..."

"That's not necessary. I have my own plans. But right now I have something else I want to ask you."

"What's the matter? Just tell me, my friend."

Speaking of this, Li Yaoguang felt a little embarrassed, showing a rare shy attitude.

"Well, haha, Doctor Wu, this is going to be a mess. You know, I'm young, my family is in such a state, and the only male elder has a leg injury. If we really encounter danger, our family will be like meat on the chopping board. In order to protect ourselves, I want to ask you for more medicine."

"Oh, you want medicine? That's easy. I'll bring my apprentice to prepare it for you right away. I'll prepare the medicine for your uncle's recovery. I'll also prepare a few more bottles of plaster for you, with written instructions. I'll also prepare more commonly used pediatric and women's medicines for you."

I have to go anyway, and it's not easy to carry all the medicines in the hall. Besides, these are nothing compared to what the child is doing in front of me. I might as well consider it as a way of thanking her for risking her life to give me the news at night.

Doctor Wu was generous, but Li Yaoguang shook his head. "Doctor Wu, I want the medicine you mentioned, but I want to ask if you can give me some self-defense medicine?"

"For self-defense?"

Li Yaoguang nodded heavily. "Yes, for self-defense! Like some poisonous drugs like arsenic, laxatives, knockout drugs, etc., Doctor Wu, please be kind and give me some. Don't worry, I promise that I will only use it for self-defense and will not use it to harm others. I swear."

　I used the fan all night to keep cool last night, and I felt something wrong when I got up today. My head was as groggy as paste, and I could only stare blankly in front of the computer. Then I found that I had a fever. I didn't write a single word. Not only that, I didn't even know what I had revised before posting. If there is anything wrong, please correct me and I will correct it later. Thank you.
