Xu Congyang said sternly: "The state has national laws, and not to mention whether the Tao of Eternity is extremely evil, even if it is really a crime, how can you be the one who makes a move? The laws of the country are all there, no matter what kind of crimes and responsibilities, they will be punished by the national laws. You hold a knife and gun to attack the Taoist temple. Is this a rebellion?" He raised his hand and pointed to the Taoist temple and shouted sternly: "I asked you, can the fire in the Taoist temple be related to you?"

Although he was old, his words were sonorous and loud, and he became powerful in his anger. The rioters were a little afraid. The leader said: "Is there any connection? You Lord Xu will investigate it yourself. It's just that these Taoist priests in the longevity have been doing evil for many years. Have you ever been insulted? They have been willing to indulge themselves, which has led to today's disaster. We ordinary people really can't stand it, so we have to stand up...!"

"Ordinary people?" Xu Congyang laughed and said, "I can't see how you look like the ordinary people. What the people are asking for is peace, but you bring people to do evil in the city. How could this be an ordinary people?" His eyes moved to the other party's weapons, "I ask you, where did your weapons come from? The court has been implementing knife hunting orders, and the capital is strictly prohibited from the circulation of weapons, but you all have weapons in your hands...!" Without fear, he took two steps forward and said sternly: "Tell me, where did these weapons come from?"

When he walked two steps forward, the rioters couldn't help but take two steps back, but quickly stood up, took two steps forward again, and raised their swords and said, "Since you want to practice the way for heaven, you will naturally not have to worry about weapons." He shouted loudly: "Everyone listened, the court blindly protected these Taoist priests, and it was their shelter and indulgence that made Taoist priests in the world so rampant. The Tianmen Dao had already hit Qinshui and was about to hit the capital in a blink of an eye. If you don't wake up now, when the Tianmen Dao comes, you will only end up killing me if you kill me."

Xu Congyang said in a deep voice: "There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the banks of Qin River. Tianmen Dao will never be able to fight. Everyone should work together to overcome difficulties at this moment... These riot bandits are in chaos in the capital, intending to take advantage of the situation and cause riots in the capital. Don't be bewitched by them." Looking at the riots, they said sternly: "Listen, now put down their weapons and explain the source of the weapons. The court may be able to open a gap and spare you a way out, otherwise...!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream behind him: "Sir, be careful..." Xu Congyang was stunned. When the wind suddenly rose, he turned his head to look over. He saw an arrow shot. He had no time to dodge. The arrow had already shot under his right rib. He was in pain and heartbroken. The guards had already flew forward. Some people were protecting Xu Congyang, and some people rushed towards the crowd not far away.

Xu Congyang did not notice it, but his guards had already seen it. The cold arrow shot out from the crowd. The murderer was among the crowd. Several guards rushed forward to capture the murderer. The people watching the side were shocked when they saw the guards rushing over and fleeing in surprise. Hundreds of people flew away. The scene became extremely chaotic in an instant. The guards had already seen a person in the crowd holding a bow and arrow, mingling in the crowd and leaving quickly, but the crowd was crowded and blocking the way, and they could not catch up at all.

The group of rioters did not hesitate when they saw Xu Congyang being shot. The man said first: "Everyone, these soldiers are going to kill us, let's fight with him..." Waving a big knife, he actually came to Xu Congyang. Even the rioters who smashed the door heard the movement, they shouted and shouted, threw the gate and killed him here. Hundreds of rioters rushed up, and immediately more than a dozen guards rushed up to stop him. Someone had already raised Xu Congyang and shouted: "Hurry up and help the lord into the car and leave here..."

The guards carried Xu Congyang into the carriage, turned the carriage around, and hurriedly left in the midst of the chaotic crowd. The guards behind fought and retreated, and were entangled by the chaotic people for a while. Although these people were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked just ordinary people, when they moved the knife, there were quite a few swordsmen with excellent martial arts skills. In a moment, several Wu Jingwei died tragically.

The carriage was running in a hurry. As soon as he crossed a street, a group of Wujing Guards came towards him. Seeing that the carriage had already come, he asked loudly: "Where are the bandits?"

The guard replied with his finger: "In front of Songyang Taoist Temple, hurry up and support, there are hundreds of them..."

The Wu Jingwei shouted without saying a word and shouted, "Brothers, kill me." He rushed over from the side of the carriage. Xu Congyang only felt a severe pain under his ribs in the carriage. After all, he was old and almost fainted at the beginning. Fortunately, the archer didn't know whether it was because of the bad archery skills or did not want to take Xu Congyang's life. Although the arrow fell into the ribs, it did not hurt the vital points.

He held back the pain and opened the curtain and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Sir, let's go to the Imperial Hospital." The guard said, "Sir, I'm injured by an arrow, so I'll be sent to the Imperial Hospital to treat the wounds..."

"Nothing." Xu Congyang said in a deep voice: "Go to the Prince's Mansion, hurry up and go to the Prince's Mansion. I... I have important things...!" He was anxious, and he felt dizzy and couldn't breathe. He was sweating from his forehead. The guard said anxiously: "Sir, you..."

Xu Congyang raised his hand and said with difficulty: "Go to the Prince's Mansion..."

The carriage turned toward the Prince's Mansion, and along the way, he heard commotion from time to time. Xu Congyang knew that his opponent took action this time, which had been planning for a long time, causing commotion everywhere in the capital. Until now, it was really extraordinary. He was in a deep pain under his ribs, but he forced himself to hold it back. His forehead was sweating like a rain of cold sweat, and he was vaguely supported. I don't know how long it took, but the carriage finally stopped and heard the guard shouting: "It's Lord Xu Xu, you are going to meet His Highness the Superintendent, and you should look for the doctor quickly. Lord Xu is injured..."

Hearing a commotion outside, Xu Congyang stood up and opened the curtain of the car door. Someone had come to help Xu Congyang get out of the carriage. Some of the guards of the prince's mansion had already gone to report to the prince, and some dared to go in and call the imperial physician. In the prince's mansion, because of the prince's leg, although Liuli had been taking care of him, there were two imperial physicians living in the prince's mansion.

The guards helped Xu Congyang into the Hua Hall where the prince was. The prince had already received the report and was waiting in front of the door. Seeing that Xu Congyang was still inserted into a feather arrow under his ribs, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, are you... the Imperial Doctor here?"

At this time, the two imperial physicians were already anxious and jogging all the way. When they heard the prince’s question, they ran over and fell to their knees, "The officials are here."

"Hurry and help Lord Xu into the hall." The prince sat in a wheelchair and ordered: "You two, hurry up and heal many people..."

Several people helped Xu Congyang in and sat down. The two imperial physicians immediately took action to deal with the arrow wounds for Xu Congyang. Xu Congyang endured the pain and said, "Your Highness, the chaos in the city is in chaos, and the situation is urgent, which is very important. The old minister heard that Your Highness is preparing to issue a confinement order to the whole city?"

The prince nodded and said, "The rebellion is in chaos, and he is mixed with the people. He uses the people in the city as a cover to kill people everywhere. Wujingwei arrests the rebellion everywhere, but they take the knife and put down the knife and hide among the people. It is difficult to find. Now that the confinement order is issued, the people in the city are not allowed to walk on the streets. In this way, the rebellion will appear as long as there is a slight action." He paused and asked, "Mr. Xu, is there anything wrong with this palace doing this?"

"The old minister was really worried when he heard about this before." Xu Congyang sighed: "I, Luo'an, the four cities and hundreds of arches, and there are only a few places where the fire is set. Most of the people in the city don't know what happened. Even if they know that the fire has occurred, they only think it is a normal fire. Once the confinement order is issued, the people in the capital will know that there is an accident and will inevitably be panic. When the Tianmen Dao hits Qinshui, the people in the capital are already panic and tighten their strings, just like a pile of dry firewood. As long as there is a little spark, it is very likely that it will cause a huge disaster, causing the entire capital to be completely out of control...!"

The prince was stunned and thoughtful, and then said, "Mr. Xu's words are reasonable, but... if he does not impose a ban, the rebels will appear in the capital unscrupulously, which will also lead to huge disasters."

"It seems that even if the confinement order is not issued, the matter is already very serious." Xu Congyang frowned and said, "The old minister came from the Songyang Taoist Temple, where there was a small group of rioters who were unscrupulous and blatantly fighting against the officers and soldiers, and they all held weapons in their hands...!"

"Mr. Xu, I am about to discuss with you at this time." The prince looked solemn: "According to the report from this palace, so far, with the Songyang Taoist Temple you just passed, there have been fires in seven Taoist temples, and there have been chaos in the past. They all have weapons... I am very surprised, where did the weapons in their hands come from?"

The two imperial physicians were careful to treat Xu Congyang's wounds. While receiving treatment, Xu Congyang endured the pain and said, "The old minister was also surprised that it was impossible to transport weapons from outside the city to the city. The weapons in their hands could only be obtained from the capital. Since the capital established itself, they have been implementing sword hunting orders. Not to mention the people of the capital, even the nobles and nobles, the relatives of the royal family, the weapons collected in the mansion must be submitted to the Ministry of War for registration. However, if a private weapon is hidden and not reported, it is a serious crime. In order to ensure that the sword hunting order is implemented, the emperor even issued a reward order. As long as someone reported those who private weapons did not report, he would be highly commended. Therefore, in the old minister's opinion, it is impossible for such many weapons to appear suddenly, which is impossible for a certain mansion to hide them."

The prince nodded and said, "Mr. Xu is very much talking. There is no doubt that this incident cannot be planned by one or two people. Behind it, there must be a force that I am neglecting is an enemy of me. If we want to turmoil the capital, we must first figure out the source of the weapons, and we may follow the clues and defeat this force in one fell swoop... Lord Xu, the Weapons Department comes from outside the capital, and it is impossible for them to come from a certain mansion. In your opinion, where is the most likely source of these weapons?"

"Does Your Highness have a judgment?"

The prince nodded slightly, "If I guessed it wrong, I'm afraid there was a problem with the Arsenal of the Ministry of War!"
