Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 240 Tit for tat
The fifth dimension, dressed in white, stood on the horse head wall at some point.

Nangong, Song Jingxiu and Yan Fei, the three leaders of the group, also showed up. The ghostwriter had already set up a tight net, and the four assassins could not escape even if they had wings.

For several days, the Gou Chen Division searched everywhere but could not find the whereabouts of Princess Changle, and the other Princess Yongkang was pressing for her, so they had no choice but to try their luck with a fishing expedition.

In fact, it was not just luck. In the past few days, Ren Yuan vaguely felt that he was being followed. This was a normal thing. With the arrogant temperament of the Xiao brothers, they would definitely seek revenge after being humiliated by him.

Ren Yuan deliberately made an appointment with Prince Consort Xie, and chose the meeting place in a restaurant with poor confidentiality. In this world with magic, he believed that the Xiao brothers would definitely be able to monitor the content of his conversation with Xie Xi.

As long as the news is explosive enough, there is no doubt that the crazy brothers will take action.

Sure enough, after Xie Xi revealed the truth, the other party finally couldn't help but take action...

Of course, all plans are not perfect. For example, this time, in order to prevent the opponent from noticing the ambush, the Fifth Dimension and his men hid far away.

Even if Ren Yuanyi crushed the talisman to summon the gods, it would still take them a while to rush over immediately.

This requires Ren Yuan and A Yao to hold out against their opponent's sneak attack until reinforcements arrive.

Everyone was sweating, fearing that the two would not be able to hold on until they arrived, but they did not expect this to happen...

The fifth dimension even had time to set up an encirclement and calmly catch the turtle in the jar.

During the arrest process, the Fifth Dimension Nangong, Song Jingxiu and other masters were on full alert, ready to stop the killer in time if he committed suicide.

But they overestimated the determination of the four assassins. These four were not deadly warriors at all. They surrendered directly when they saw that they had nowhere to go, and they had no intention of committing suicide.

The "barrel man" whose hands were chopped off was lying on the ground, shouting, "Help!"

"Save him. We haven't interrogated him yet." The Fifth Dimension said to Ren Yuan, "If he bleeds any more, he will die."

"Yes." Ren Yuan responded, and then used several talismans including the Golden Knife Hemostatic Talisman to stop the bleeding of the "barrel man".

In fact, the "barrel man's" hand had just been chopped off, and his hand could be reattached using the "willow branch bone-setting technique".

But Ren Yuan would not take her back for him... He actually dared to use his dirty hands to catch his senior sister, which was already a way to his death.

Now all he needs is a pair of hands, that's a bargain for him.

When the ghost swordsman tied up the four captives, Yan Fei and the others gave a thumbs up to Ren Yuan and A Yao. "Haha, you two are so fierce. You actually beat the four of them and made them flee."

"I'm so ashamed. I'm holding Senior Sister back." Ren Yuan said embarrassedly, "Otherwise none of them would be able to escape."

"Come on, kid, these four are not just ordinary people." Song Jingxiu scolded with a smile: "These four are masters raised by Xiao Zhengde, and they are arrogant in Beijing."

As he spoke, he introduced the four assassins one by one, saying:

"This is the 'vine monster' Ling Xiao, who has passed the seventh level."

"This is 'Evil Water Shura', five orifices."

"This is 'Xuan Bing Zi', five orifices."

"This is the 'divine fortune teller', he was originally a Taoist priest, his cultivation is the highest among the four, he has six orifices."

"Now you know how outrageous you are?" Yan Fei asked with a smile.

"No one among the four has great supernatural powers?" Ren Yuan was a little disappointed. He thought he had made significant progress. It turned out that it was mainly because the opponent was not too strong. "What do you think great supernatural powers are?!" Yan Fei laughed and cursed, "I have been working like a slave in the Gou Chen Division for more than ten years, and I still haven't gotten any great supernatural powers."

“After all, those two brothers are not Prince Yuzhang. In fact, if Prince Yuzhang had not been the prefect of Danyang, he would not have been able to recruit so many masters to serve him.” Nangong said indifferently.

"That's right. Everyone knows that our Gou Chen Division has clear rewards and punishments and strict hierarchy. One can tell at a glance what kind of strength one has by looking at the level." Song Jingxiu also laughed and said, "Who would have thought that I would run into you two freaks."

"Leave a few people to clean up the mess, and let's go." Diwu Wei saw that his men had finished packing, so he ordered, "Go along the Qinhuai River and pass by the gates of the two marquises' mansions."

"Okay!" The ghostwriters immediately responded happily and escorted the four men through the city.

This was done on purpose for the two brothers to see. Since the other side had already started the war, they had nothing to worry about.

If you don't fight to the end, how can you have the nerve to call yourself a violent agency?
~~
The people along the way were not only watching the excitement, but also asking about the identities of the four prisoners. When they heard that these four were Xiao Zhengde's lackeys, they were even happier.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the people in Xifenghou Mansion had gloomy faces.

Those four followed the Marquis in and out from time to time, so of course they knew each other.

With a bang, they closed the door of the mansion tightly, trying to pretend that they didn't see it.

~~
But the anger of the Xiao brothers has been successfully ignited.

In the back garden, the two brothers had just taken the medicine and were lying on the cold bamboo beds, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Then they heard the doorman come in in a panic to report that the four priests including the "divine fortune teller" had been arrested, and that not only had the Gou Chen Si deliberately paraded through the streets, but he also specially passed by the gate of their mansion.

"Fuck, this is clearly a demonstration! It's outrageous. The dog bites its master, and now they are bullying us!" Xiao Zhengze cursed: "Third brother, they are going to fight us openly!"

Without realizing it, they started it.

"Take a break. They don't even consider us as their masters." Xiao Zhengde said gloomily, "If I were the prince, would they dare to do this? They all have to behave themselves and kneel before me!"

Xiao Zhengze secretly rolled his eyes, thinking, why is the third brother resentful again? He is simply insane.

"Ah, how can two ghost swordsmen be so powerful?" He said in disbelief, "I thought it would be easy to kill that guy."

"Nothing, just a common way for rats to hide their weaknesses." Xiao Zhengde snorted and said, "Next time, send a powerful supernatural power to deal with him, and see how he can escape!"

"Great, when?" Xiao Zhengze's expression brightened up when he heard that.

"Let him jump around for a few more days. Wait until this is over and their guard is relaxed before doing anything else." Xiao Zhengde said in a deep voice.

Although Xiao Zhengde has never treated people as human beings, great supernatural powers are too rare and he cannot afford to waste them.

"By the way, those four idiots wouldn't say anything nonsense, right?" Xiao Zhengze asked again in a low voice.

"Let them say whatever they want. Am I afraid of people knowing that I was the mastermind behind today's assassination?" Xiao Zhengde sneered.

"Besides, they only know that I sent them there. They didn't participate in anything else, and they know nothing about Changle's affairs.

"That's good." Xiao Zhengze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
