Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 250 Finally found you

The situation in the fortress was equally chilling.

Some were tied to red-hot copper pillars and burned to a crisp; some were pressed on a table and skinned alive; some had their intestines pulled out repeatedly; and some were given copper enema…

Even though Ren Yuan had a heart of stone, he still felt suffocated. He was afraid that the scene in hell was just like this.

Chongguang Chuang was investigating the crimes of the two brothers, and Diwuwei had just read the relevant files and had not had time to forget them.

"These are all crimes committed by Xiao Zhengde. Xiao Zhengze used various methods to torture people, such as burning people with fire, cutting off living bodies, making drums out of human skin, pulling out intestines, copper enema, and standing on ice stakes..." He sighed, "Hundun Taowu is extremely vicious and stubborn. He deserves death."

"But they are still alive and well!" Ren Yuan couldn't help but feel murderous. "I have a question, why in reality, they hurt good people? In dreams, they torture good people? Why don't they suffer?!"

"Maybe because they are other people's nightmares?" The Fifth Dimension asked uncertainly, "Or do they have their own nightmares?"

"I hope so." Ren Yuan nodded, suppressing his anger and said, "Hurry up and find someone to leave this damn place, otherwise I really can't help it."

"Okay." The Fifth Dimension sent out the Yang God again, and instantly searched inside and outside the fort. The next moment, he returned to the acupoint and said, "Follow me, it's in the fortress lord's mansion."

After saying that, he led Ren Yuanqian into the extremely luxurious castle lord's mansion, walked through the corridors and entered the rooms with ease, and came to a small courtyard with guards at the door.

The Fifth Dimension whispered a command, and Ren Yuan nodded and quickly drew two immobilization talismans. The two of them each held one, quietly moved to the pair of guards at the door, and stuck to them at the same time.

The two guards were instantly unable to move or make a sound. They could only stand there in amazement.

Ren Yuan and Diwuwei walked through the door and entered the courtyard.

I saw a woman in palace dress, with a pale face but still stunning beauty, watching a little boy of six or seven years old playing.

"It's them." The Fifth Dimension said to Ren Yuan, and the two of them did the same thing again, freezing the woman and the little boy.

The mother and son suddenly became unable to move or speak, and their faces were naturally filled with fear.

The Fifth Dimension then appeared, saluted the woman with his hands crossed, and said, "Gou Chen Si was late in coming to the rescue, and frightened the princess."

The woman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the other party was from the Gou Chen Si.

"I will untie the princess's spell now. Please keep your voice down." The Fifth Dimension said softly again.

There was a soothing magic in his voice, and Princess Changle looked noticeably calmer.

"As for the young master, let's just leave him like this for now. If he starts crying and alarms the people in the fort, it's not a big deal. But if he attracts the nightmare beast, it will be a big trouble."

Diwu Weixian waved his hand and led the mother and son into the house. Only then did Ren Yuan take off the talisman that immobilized Princess Changle.

Princess Changle immediately collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth and sobbing.

"I know the princess is sad, but please bear with it. It won't be too late to be sad after we are out of danger." The Fifth Dimension said helplessly: "While Xiao Zhengde is not here, let's leave here quickly."

"Okay." Princess Changle nodded while sobbing.

"Let's go." The Fifth Dimension said, carrying the princess on his back, and then said to Ren Yuan, "You carry the child."

"Okay." Ren Yuan nodded and tucked the prince Xie under his armpit...

The fifth dimension was about to use his magical power to teleport out, but Ren Yuan stopped him and said, "Master Wei, let's find someone else."

"Who?" The fifth dimension looked at Ren Yuan.

"Xi Mei." Ren Yuan replied softly.

"How do you know that my aunt is also here?" Princess Changle couldn't help but ask when she heard it.

"Oh, has the princess seen her?" Diwu Wei asked. "Yes, when my brother brought her in." Princess Changle nodded and said, "She once came out to see my mother and me."

Then she shed tears and said, "She is a miserable person like me."

At this moment, the Fifth Dimension suddenly raised his hand to signal her to be quiet, and whispered, "Someone is coming."

Ren Yuan's expression tensed, and he drew his sword, ready to strike.

"It's her." The fifth dimension said again.

~~
A woman with noble temperament and graceful demeanor appeared outside the door, followed by two maids carrying food boxes and cages.

"Open the door." The woman opened her red lips slightly, her voice as cold as frost.

The two guards turned a deaf ear.

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what the lady said?!" the maid behind him scolded the guard.

The guard looked anxious, but still couldn't move.

"Huh?" The three women also noticed something was wrong. A maid was about to step forward to check on the two people's condition, but suddenly she was unable to move.

The other two women were also cast with immobilization talismans one after another, and they appeared in the courtyard as soon as their eyes went dark.

Ren Yuan also added a "sleeping spell" to each of the two maids, sending them to sleep in the land of dreams, leaving only the noble lady in the lead.

Although Princess Changle was already extremely beautiful, she still pales in comparison to the peerless noble lady.

Although he had never seen this person before, Ren Yuan also guessed her identity.

"Don't panic, auntie. These are people from the Gou Chensi who are here to rescue us." Princess Changle held her hand and explained softly.

Ren Yuan and Diwuwei looked at each other and it was indeed Xi Mei.

When the noble lady heard this, a look of shock appeared in her eyes, and then her emotions obviously fluctuated violently.

But when Diwuwei asked Ren Yuan to release her from the immobilization, she never expected that she would throw herself into Ren Yuan's arms, crying bitterly, "Ren Lang, why did you come to save me just now..."

"Oh my god..." The Fifth Dimension almost dropped his jaw in shock, thinking, what kind of outrageous development is this? How did the emperor's sister-in-law become Ren Yuan's old lover? What the hell is going on?

"Aunt, please speak softly and don't disturb the people outside." Princess Changle reminded her hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter. I have set up a barrier. No one can hear her even if she cries at the top of her lungs." The Fifth Dimension said softly. He loved gossip the most in his life, so how could he let Princess Changle interfere with him eating melons?

“Then why didn’t you let me cry just now…” The woman’s focus was strange.

"Sorry, I forgot just now." The Fifth Dimension said perfunctorily. In fact, the princess had already eaten all the melons, so she was asked to keep quiet for the time being.

"Sorry, we have never met before. Maybe you recognized the wrong person?" Ren Yuan was also embarrassed on the other side.

"You're not Ren Bi?" Xi Mei stopped crying and quickly distanced herself from him. "Then how come you look so much like him, with the same facial features."

"My last name is Ren, but my name is Ren Yuan." Ren Yuan said with a wry smile, "But you're not the first one to say that I look like Ren Bi."

"That's right. So many years have passed. How could he still look the same as he did when he was twenty years old?" Xi Mei sighed and said, "Then you are his son?"

"..." Ren Yuan did not deny it this time, but said in a deep voice: "We can talk about this later. The first thing we should do is to leave here."

"I can't leave." Xi Mei shook her head sadly, looked at Princess Changle and said, "She can't leave either."
