Xuanyuan Shao's expression showed that he was very curious about this matter and was full of doubts, but Chu Huan still couldn't guess what Xuanyuan Shao was thinking for a while.

After all, he was just the head of the Ministry of Revenue. Although his position is quite important now, he is not yet considered an important official in the court. Xuanyuan Shao was an outstanding military general in the empire. He and the family behind him both had a very high status in the empire. Such a person had doubts about this strange rock, but he asked a head of the Ministry of Revenue for advice, which always made Chu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

However, it is possible that it is because Xuanyuan Shao was unable to unravel the secret of the strange stone for a long time and could not see through the strangeness of it. He happened to be assassinated again tonight and met Chu Huan. He was intrigued and suddenly asked for advice. It may not be impossible.

Seeing Xuanyuan Shao's confusion expression, Chu Huan asked carefully: "General, the lower official took the initiative to ask, if you can't get clues from the assassin's mouth, why don't the general start from the source?"

"The source?" Xuanyuan Shao was stunned, then understood and sighed: "Are you talking about the source of this strange rock?"

Chu Huan nodded slightly.

Xuanyuan Shao shook his head and said, "This stone was obtained from a dead person. I don't know where that person came from. He handed the stone to me. Before I could ask, I died. I searched for the identity and origin of this person, but I gained nothing. Until today, I don't know where he came from, and why I handed this strange stone to me." His white eyebrows were locked together, with a look of suspicion.

Chu Huan naturally felt that it was very strange and said softly: "Since that man gave this stone to the general with his life, I think this stone is indeed very important. Since the assassin came to seize it one after another, he must be very concerned about this stone. They will definitely want to get something through this stone. As long as the general waits patiently, the secret here will come to the surface sooner or later."

Xuanyuan Shao heard this and pondered slightly, and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. Some secrets take time. When the time comes, they will naturally surface." He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I don't care about the secrets there, but I heard that there was a group of demons in the empire. This white strange stone came suddenly, but I was worried that it was related to the group of demons. If so, I don't know what kind of conspiracy is hidden in the middle."

"Demon?" Chu Huan showed a puzzled look: "What does the general mean to be a demon?"

Xuanyuan Shao said: "Mr. Chu doesn't know if he has heard of Tianmen Dao?"

"Tianmen Dao?" Chu Huan was stunned and nodded, "Although the Xiaguan was ignorant, he still heard from Tianmen Dao. It is said that Tianmen Dao is now very rampant in Jianghuai Road."

Xuanyuan Shao said lightly: "It's not just Jianghuai Road, Jiangnan Jinling Road, and Donghai Road have traces of the activities of Tianmen Dao disciples. Especially Donghai Road, it is said that it spreads very fast and has a strong momentum. In addition to Jianghuai Road, Tianmen Dao disciples in Donghai Road are the most popular." He frowned and said: "Master Chu may not know. Recently, there has been news that something has happened in Huizhou on Jianghuai Road. With the wave of the demon flag of Tianmen Dao, tens of thousands of people have gathered. They cooperated in Huizhou City and entered Huizhou City. Although the official army immediately encircled and suppressed them, under the instigation of the demons, the rioters not only robbed Huizhou's grain and silver warehouses, but also set fire everywhere, killing officials and wealthy people. Under the banner of advancing the heavens, they burned countless houses, and countless innocent people died in the war..."

Chu Huan was shocked.

The Tianmen Road of Jianghuai Road is rampant, and Taoist disciples are spreading across all classes. Chu Huan also knew about this matter. He judged early in the morning that if the court could not suppress the Tianmen Road of Jianghuai Road as soon as possible and would appease the people of Jianghuai, then it would not take long before wolf smoke would rise on the Jianghuai Road.

But he didn't expect that things would develop so quickly, and the Tianmen Taoist people in Jianghuai Road had already begun to invade.

Chu Huan could imagine the consequences of the Tianmen Dao's uprising on Jianghuai Road.

The Jianghuai Road is located in the southeast of the empire. To the east is the Donghai Road by the sea, and to the west is the Jinling Road. The three paths form horns and are the granaries and money troughs in the southeast of the empire. If Luo'an Jingcheng is the imperial political and cultural center, then the Jinling Road is the economic center of the empire. The main gathering place for the empire's silk, porcelain, tea and other items is in the Jinling Road. The Jianghuai Plain is rich in grain and was once called the empire's granary. The Donghai Road is a barrier to the East China Sea, with many aquatic products and abundant resources. These three paths have always been the guarantee for the empire's finances to survive.

When the Jianghuai Road is in chaos, the empire's granaries will collapse, and then the Jinling Granary, one of the four major empires set up on the Jinling Road, will not be able to get food replenishment from the Jianghuai Road.

Chen Yang, Xiaohu, Jiping and Jinling are the four major granaries. The Jinling granaries are the largest in scale and have the most stored grain. They have always been the last food guarantee for the empire. Once the Jinling granaries are in crisis, the foundation of the entire empire will be severely damaged.

Chu Huan knew even more clearly that once the Tianmen Road in Jianghuai Road could not be extinguished quickly, if the Tianmen Road people formed a real military force, the consequences would be unimaginable. In the chaos of Jianghuai, the East China Sea and the Jinling Road would never be peaceful. Tianmen Road would definitely upset the southeast of the empire by the earth. In addition, Hebei Road also has the power of the Blue Heaven King, and the three northwest roads are still threatened by the people of Xiliang. In this way, half of the empire's country will be shaken, and chaos in the world will inevitably be inevitable.

Chu Huanxin was even wondering whether it was the people of Tianmen Dao who knew the news that the people of Xiliang asked for peace, so he suddenly started a stir. In this way, in the southeast of the empire, he could not devote all his energy to the northwest. The result of this would be that the people of Xiliang were likely to go back on their word. The original desire for peace would have turned into a continued advance because of the southeast of the empire.

"This stone is strange and inexplicable, and its origin is unclear." Xuanyuan Shao frowned and said, "The demonic path of the Tianmen Dao is rampant, and a group of ghosts and monsters are worried that this stone will hide the secret of the Tianmen Dao biting people. You must be careful of the ghost's heart."

Chu Huan bowed and said, "The general is very worried. However, it is not easy for the demons of Tianmen to cause storms in the capital."

Xuanyuan Shao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I've said too much." He stared at Chu Huan and said, "I heard that you have practiced three levels in the Iron Blood Garden, and Xuanyuan Sheng was defeated by your hands. It seems that your archery skills are indeed extraordinary!"

Chu Huan immediately said: "General Xuanyuan made fun of him. If there is anyone in the world who dares to talk about archery skills in General Xuanyuan, it is undoubtedly a show of his avatar. Xuanyuan Wuwei's archery skills are so good, Chu Huan's archery book must be under him. He was just a chance to win that day and was lucky."

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves sounded, and a group of people rushed towards him, wearing the clothes of the Ministry of Justice's Office. One person came over, turned over and dismounted, and quickly came over to bow to Xuanyuan Shao, "Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Yao Tong, the chief of the Ministry of Justice, please see General Xuanyuan!"

Xuanyuan Shao said directly: "Take a horse over!"

A horse was brought over, and Xuanyuan Shao asked someone to hand over the reins to Chu Huan and said, "The carriage you are riding in was destroyed because of my reasons. You can use this horse first." Turning to Yao Tong, "Do the scene, don't be so arrogant!" He turned around and left, suddenly thought of something, turned to Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, if you have free time, you can go to my mansion. I want to see your archery skills!" Without further delay, he strides away.

Chu Huan pondered slightly, turned around, and saw the driver who was driving on the ground, and went over and whispered: "The prince is still in the prince's mansion. You can get the car again, so as not to miss the pick-up and drop off the prince tomorrow!" He did not delay, and turned over and slapped the horse and left.

...

...

Chu Huan quickly understood the specific situation during the Huizhou Rebellion on the Jianghuai Road. Although the news was not as good as the Ministry of War, the turmoil in the Jianghuai Road would inevitably involve quelling the chaos, and the use of troops would inevitably involve money and food, so it was not too late for the Ministry of Revenue to get the news.

According to what Chu Huan knows, the uprising in the Tianmen Road of Jianghuai was a bit accidental, but the cause was related to a county magistrate named Ling.

Although the Ling County Magistrate was greedy for money, he was even more lustful. According to rumors, he heard that there was a young woman in Huaxin in a village under his jurisdiction. She was famous in the local area and had a very beautiful face. The Ling County Magistrate disguised himself and visited the married woman. He took great effort to succeed. After that, he finally realized his true colors and took the yamen runners to snatch them.

However, the county magistrate Ling did not expect that this time he took people there, not only did he not be able to snatch the young woman back, but he saved his life.

It turned out that the young woman's family was all disciples of Tianmen. When she learned that the county magistrate led people to snatch them, there was a Tianmen Taoist in the local area. So she begged the Taoist for help. The Tianmen Taoist was happy that day. She immediately summoned several men from the village, gathered hundreds of people, and ambushed them in advance. After the Ling County Magistrate arrived, the villagers, led by the Taoist, killed the county magistrate Ling and the dozens of yamen runners he brought. After that, they gathered and rushed into the county town.

No one expected that in less than ten days, with the county town as loyal, the Taoist priests of Tianmen who had been hiding among the people summoned their disciples to stir up trouble, aiming directly at Huizhou City. Tens of thousands of people who believed in Tianmen Road rose up from all directions, and they all shot out the Tai Chi Bagua Laojun flag of Tianmen Road, gathered from all around, and with the help of Tianmen Road in Huizhou City, they attacked Huizhou City with the help of the Tianmen Road inside and outside.

After the Tianmen Road people entered the city, they burned, killed and looted, just like bandits. The granary and silver warehouses were robbed. Fired fires were set in the city, and countless people fled. The Huizhou magistrate also fought a way out under the protection of the Huizhou army and reported to the Jianghuai Road Mansion City.

The Governor of Jianghuai Road mobilized the Imperial Guards, and the troops of various prefectures encircled and suppressed the Tianmen Road people, but they drove the Tianmen Road people out of Huizhou City in a short period of time, but the situation did not improve. In the five prefectures of Jianghuai, Huizhou was the first to be in chaos, and the Tianmen Road people in other states responded. Although they could not resist the official army for the time being, more and more people joined the Tianmen Road to incite. Some officers and soldiers were even bewitched by Tianmen Road and transformed into rebellion from the official army to the chaos army.

The Jianghuai Road is now in chaos, and the government troops are encircling and suppressing the Tianmen Taoist people every day. However, the news from there has not only not weakened due to this, but instead it is increasing with an extremely large number every day.

After Chu Huanna got the news from Xuanyuan Shao, in just three or five days, the news from Jianghuai that Tianmen Road had occupied several county towns, and in the five prefectures, large-scale riots broke out in the three prefectures, and its momentum and spreading speed were even far greater than the previous Qingtian King Rebellion in Hebei Road.

In desperation, the gentry from all over the Jianghuai Road gathered their own private armed forces to protect their wealth. The Imperial Guards, the State Army, the private armed forces, the Tianmen Rebellion, and the bandits who took advantage of the situation. The Jianghuai Road was in chaos. The Ministry of War and Dali Temple were full of spies every day, and the Ministry of Revenue began to become nervous.
