The fire burned bigger and bigger, and guards rushed out one after another, but no one saw Tan Luo. Just when the faces of the envoys became more and more ugly, Qin Feishi and Feng Zheng were finally smoked by the smoke.

A dizzy Tan Luo was brought out.

"Tan Shoufu!"

Yi Cheng and several envoys rushed over.

Liu Yunxiang subconsciously looked at Pei Xuan and saw his brows furrowed, as if he was disappointed to see Tan Luo come out alive.

"Pei Xuan, based on our friendship, it should be worthy of a frank talk, right?" she asked.

Pei Xuan turned to look at her. After a pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

It was already dark at this time, and the posthouse was burned down. For the time being, they could only arrange for them to stay in an inn not far away. The doctor was invited to see Tan Luo. He was fine and would wake up soon.

Feng Zheng was guarding Liu Yunxiang's room outside, and everyone else was in the room, including Pei Xuan. He sighed, raised his tea cup, sighed again, took a sip and put it down, and then sighed again.

"Okay, isn't it because the operation failed? You failed to kill Tan Luo!" Liu Yunxiang said.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan was shocked, "How do you know?"

Qin Feishi was also shocked, "You mean he was the one who set the fire, and the man in black is also his?"

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "In order to prevent us from escaping, Tan Luo asked his personal guards to form a circle outside. How could this fire start so easily, unless it was set by someone inside."

"Then how did you guess it was me?" Pei Xuan asked.

"The two of them just rescued Tan Luo. Everyone was rejoicing, but you were the only one with a frown on your face. Doesn't that mean anything?"

Pei Xuan covered his face, "I just said I didn't have the ability, but the emperor just said..."

For a moment, Pei Xuan quickly stopped talking and looked at Liu Yunxiang, who seemed to understand clearly.

"You also guessed it..." Pei Xuan pointed at it.

"Huh, you only want to do business. You never participate in officialdom disputes. Naturally, there is no reason to kill Tan Luo. Moreover, you can't listen to others asking you to do this. It can only be him."

Pei Xuan clasped his fists to express his admiration, "Then if you see it so clearly, why do you still let them save people?"

Liu Yunxiang glared at Pei Xuan, "We understand, but you obviously don't understand."

"How to say?"

"Simon, did you ask someone to open the door?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid that the fire will get out of control and hurt you."

"What if we escape?"

"Why did you run away?"

Qin Feishi rolled his eyes, "Tan Luo is dead and was killed. Who do you think the government will suspect?"

"Who do you suspect?" Pei Xuan blinked, obviously not thinking about this issue.

"They will doubt us!" Qin Feishi said angrily.

"How could it be..." Pei Xuan paused here, thought about it carefully, and finally understood, "Today's negotiation failed, and the two sides are very unhappy. If Tan Luo is killed tonight, the government will naturally doubt you."

"The fire started from inside, and it can only be set by the people inside. You are all from Beijin, and we Darong people will be the first to be suspected." Liu Yunxiang sighed.

"Then you just run away. Won't it be safe if you run back to Zhenbeiguan?"

"We escaped, but what about the alliance between the two countries? If there is a conflict due to this matter, then wouldn't we become the sinners of both countries!" Qin Feishi gritted his teeth.

Pei Xuan slapped his forehead and said, "I really didn't think so much, let alone trick you!"

"Ha, who knows!" Qin Feishi curled his lips.

Pei Xuan was anxious to prove his innocence, "I just wanted to set a fire and kill Tan Luo in the chaos. I really didn't think much about the rest. Besides, what kind of friendship do I have with the eldest princess? Can I harm her? I can't!

"

Seeing that Pei Xuan was blushing with anxiety and his neck was thick, Liu Yunxiang waved his hand and said, "I know you haven't thought about it so much, but there is someone who obviously thinks very clearly."

"who?"

"Cold rain."

Pei Xuan covered his mouth, "So he... harmed you? He couldn't, right? Before I left the capital, he told me to protect you. How could he..."

"He didn't want to kill me, he just wanted to trick Dayong. To be honest, he didn't want to form an alliance with Dayong."

Pei Xuan held his forehead and said that he was quite shrewd in his business career, but he really couldn't handle the intrigues and tricks of the court.

"So what's the situation in your Northern Jin court now? Why did Leng Yuxie want to kill Tan Luo?" Liu Yunxiang asked Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan sorted it out, and then said slowly: "After the emperor ascended the throne, he worked hard to eradicate the stubborn diseases left by the past. This will inevitably affect the interests of some ministers. Among them is Tan Luo. Tan Luo was promoted to chief after the emperor ascended the throne.

As a auxiliary, he did solve a lot of troubles for the emperor at first, and the emperor also relied on him. However, this reliance made his ambitions grow, so he won over the courtiers and eliminated dissidents. Something happened last month. Boss Liang, the censor of Zuodu

He got a ginseng book, which listed more than ten crimes against him. As a result, Tan Luo falsely accused Mr. Liang of forming a clique for personal gain, forcing Mr. Liang to hang himself to prove his innocence. However, Tan Luo still refused to let him go, saying that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.

A lot of evidence was presented, and the emperor ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate, but it was confirmed that the false evidence was true, and the entire Liang family was beheaded, ranging from an old man in his seventies to a child."

Speaking of this, Pei Xuan let out a long sigh, "It was also at this time that the emperor discovered how big Tan Luo's power network was. Since the civil and military ministers were opposed to each other, Tan Luo had the ability to win over the ministers on both sides. It was like fighting with the emperor.

Regarding the alliance with Rong, the emperor agreed to the alliance, but Tan Luo and the ministers did not agree. The emperor did not agree to the alliance, but Tan Luo and the ministers agreed. Anyway, they are singing the opposite tune."

"This Tan Luo is so arrogant!" Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but said.

"No, if he continues to be arrogant, the emperor's throne will be lost. So, taking advantage of this negotiation, the emperor asked Tan Luo to come and talk in person, let him leave Jin'an, and take the opportunity to kill him."

"If you kill him, the court will definitely be in turmoil. If you don't want to be in turmoil, the only way is to unite with the outside world, so he brought this disaster to our Da Rong. This is the first. The second is to cover up the truth about Tan Luo's murder. The third is

You can openly break the contract and not form an alliance with Da Rong." Liu Yunxiang snorted, "If he were here and could hear me, I would definitely applaud him!"

As expected, Leng Yuxie is used to playing tricks like this!

"Tan Luo is very smart. After what happened last night, he must have suspected you and Leng Yuxie. You have no chance to kill him again."

Pei Xuan rubbed his nose and said, "I didn't complete the mission, and you Darong and our Beijin won't be able to form an alliance."

There is no solution at the moment, but Liu Yunxiang is really tired, and we will discuss other matters later.

After she fell asleep, a dark figure lay outside the window soon. When she was about to open the window, a man suddenly appeared and killed her with a sword.

The man in black might as well turn around and escape, and then escaped.
