Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger
Chapter 431: Attacked from both inside and outside, forced into a dead end
Fang's
Ziyun arrived earlier.
She handed the wooden box she had just received to Fang Yuan.
"Sir, this is what I found in Cheng Yao's study. Take a look. Is it the tiger talisman?"
Fang Yuan took the wooden box, took out the tiger talisman, and laughed after carefully examining it. "Yes, this is the tiger talisman I want."
Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's good. Ziyun finally lived up to your trust."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she lost consciousness.
As her body fell to the ground, a black figure returned behind Fang Yuan.
Ling Guqiu, who had been silent the whole time, watched the whole process coldly. When he withdrew his gaze from Ziyun, there was no trace of pity in his eyes.
"What are you going to do next, sir?"
Fang Yuan silently stroked the tiger talisman in his hand, "According to what she said just now, Cheng Yao was only awake for a moment, so I guess the mind-destroying Gu in his body is still not resolved."
"But our people haven't found Mr. Wu yet. It looks like we have to wait a few more days."
Ling Guqiu frowned and reminded, "The South Vietnamese side may not be able to wait any longer. They are already short of food and grass, and have been stationed at the border for many days without any movement. There are already complaints among the army."
"In my humble opinion, it would be better for you to make a decision sooner rather than later."
Fang Yuan hesitated and said, "If Cheng Yao is not dead, even if we hold the tiger talisman, we may be criticized by others."
"He won't live for many days anyway, so let's find a way to send him off. Isn't there Fang Shang in the general's mansion? Let him find a way to do it."
As soon as Ling Guqiu finished speaking, a report came from outside, "Master, Fang Shang is here. He said he has important information to report to you."
"Let him in."
Fang Shang hurried in.
Kneel down.
When he saw Ziyun, who was already dead beside him, his eyes widened in surprise.
But it was only a moment.
When he looked up again, his eyes had regained their calmness.
"Master, the court already knows that Cheng Yao is in a coma and sent reinforcements a few days ago."
"Impossible!" Fang Yuan denied in surprise, "I haven't received any news that the court has sent anyone to reinforce."
"Is it possible that the imperial court deliberately concealed the news in order not to alert the enemy?"
"Where did you get this information?"
"It was Cheng Shuang who said it herself. Cheng Yao was lucid for a moment in the morning, and the brother and sister had a big fight over Ziyun. I overheard Cheng Shuang say that once the reinforcements arrived, they would take full control of the General's Mansion and the Southwest Army."
Ling Guqiu said solemnly, "In this case, we have to be on guard."
"But as far as I know, Cheng Shuang and Cheng Yao are siblings from the same father and mother, and they have been close since they were young. It doesn't make sense for Cheng Shuang to have such disrespectful thoughts towards her brother for an outsider."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Cheng Shuang gave me an expensive dagger at the birthday party, so I should give her a big gift in return."

On a new day, Meng Yunshang was awakened by Dangui's urgent shouting.
"Miss, something big has happened."
Meng Yunshang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, calmly comforting her, "Don't worry, tell me what happened slowly."
"Now the people of Jincheng are making up stories, saying that you, young lady, have usurped the general's mansion. Not only did you take advantage of the general's coma to occupy his residence, but you also forced the general's concubine, Miss Ziyun, to death."
"Many people who don't know the truth have come to the gate of the general's mansion. They surrounded the gate and said they want to drive you out of the general's mansion and seek justice for Miss Ziyun."
"Lu Kang has brought people to the gate to maintain order, but there are too many people coming, and they are all premeditated and organized. I am worried that he can't hold on for long."
Before Meng Yunshang could respond, Xuan Qi's voice was heard outside the door again.
"Your Highness, Princess, the Nanyue army has set out to attack Jincheng and will cross the border defense line in half an hour. Please make a decision quickly."
There are unreasonable complaints from the people inside and an army from the south city approaching outside.
Attack from inside and outside.
The Fang family wanted to force them into a desperate situation.
If she was the real Cheng Shuang, today's game would be difficult to break.
But she is not Cheng Shuang, she is Meng Yunshang.

"Where's Cheng Shuang? Let Cheng Shuang come out!"
"After all, you are a lady from a noble family. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
"That's right. No matter how close siblings are, they shouldn't interfere in their brother's room."
"Let Cheng Shuang pay for Miss Ziyun's life!"
"Pay your life, Cheng Shuang must pay your life!"
Amid shouts that got louder and louder, the door of the general's mansion was slowly opened.
Meng Yunshang, wearing silver armor and holding a spear, strode in front of the crowd.
Lu Chenxiao, wearing a human skin mask, followed closely behind her.
Further behind was Ziyun dressed in pink.
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "Hey, isn't that Miss Ziyun?"
"But wasn't Miss Ziyun killed by Cheng Shuang? How come she is alive again?"
"No, there are two Miss Ziyun."
"Everyone!" Meng Yunshang mobilized her internal energy and shouted loudly.
"I'm Cheng Shuang. I'm sure you're all familiar with the person next to me. She's my eldest brother's concubine in Jincheng, Ziyun."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted coldly, "Ziyun is clearly dead. Cheng Shuang, in order to evade responsibility, you actually found someone to impersonate her. What is your intention!"
"Ziyun" chuckled, "Sir, I didn't even know I was dead. Do you know better than me?"
This made everyone burst into laughter.
But some people were not convinced and retorted, "Cheng Shuang holds a grudge against Miss Ziyun, it is impossible for them to get along so well."
"You were hiding under my bed? How could you know so much about the relationship between me and my sister-in-law?"
"you!"
"You two keep saying that I'm dead, so where did you find the 'body'?"
"South City Lane."
"The General's Mansion is in the north of the city. If I was really murdered by someone from the General's Mansion, why didn't they dump me in the north of the city instead of dumping me in the south? And what evidence do you have to prove that I was murdered by Cheng Shuang?"
"This...we have a dead body as evidence!"
As they spoke, the two men carried out the body covered with a white cloth.
However, before they could put the body on the ground, "Ziyun" strode over and lifted the white cloth.
"Hiss, so ugly."
"Please take a look and see who the real Ziyun is."
Everyone gathered around, looking at the living "Ziyun" for a while, and then looking at the corpse on the door panel.
Someone soon came to the conclusion, "This corpse does bear some resemblance to Miss Ziyun."
In other words, the living person is Ziyun.
The bodies were only vaguely similar.
Some people in the crowd were dissatisfied and tried to squeeze over to stir up trouble again.
Lu Chenxiao raised his hand calmly, and a silver needle flew out from his sleeve.
Those people fell down immediately, and at the same time, the secret guards quietly moved out and carried the people away immediately.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Just as the instigated people were worrying about how the situation would end, the war drums at the city gate were struck loudly.
Then war horses came rushing towards the general's mansion.
"Report!"
"South Vietnam has sent troops. The defense line of Jincheng is in danger. Please ask General Cheng to take charge of the situation."
