The news from all sides made Yang Yingqi more and more uneasy. He returned to the city from Cao Guangbi, and after hearing that Yan Hu had returned to the city, he came to the General's Mansion to see her.

Wan Yanhu was picking out fabrics for the Zhe Yunwu brothers, Lin Yu, and Xiao Jun to make winter clothes, and when he saw Yang Yingqi coming to ask, "Why are you here so late?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I was bored today, I really wanted to talk to someone, I just went to see my second brother on the boat, and when I came down, I heard that my sister-in-law was back, so I came to take a look." Sister-in-law, you've been gone for a day today, don't be too tired, rest early. ”

Wan Yanhu smiled: "My hands and feet are a little tired, but I am still in good spirits." But you, who haven't looked energetic in the past two days, are probably overusing God. ”

The uncle and sister-in-law were chatting, and suddenly the housekeeper ran in and said, "Seven generals, the third general sent someone, and I couldn't see you in the Seven Generals' Mansion, so I found here!" ”

Yang Yingqi frowned, and after listening to Yan Hu, he said, "Get busy, but remember not to be too tired." Yang Yingqi just came out, and it was rumored that they would meet in the side hall of the General's Mansion.

It didn't take long for the three people to hurriedly walk in, and Yang Yingqi recognized the three people: the first was Chen Zhenghui, the second was You Yu, the guard who often followed the eldest brother, and the third was Zhang Yuanliang, the general of Liaokou.

Yang Yingqi saw that You Yu was covered in dust and secretly screamed in his heart, looked at Chen Zhenghui, Chen Zhenghui understood, and said: "They must see the Seventh General before they say, I have no choice, so I have to bring them over." ”

Before Chen Zhenghui finished speaking, You Yu had already knelt on the ground and cried: "Seventh General...... Xiao Tienu is doing the opposite...... General...... The great general has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens! ”

When Yang Yingqi heard this, he said "what", and repeated it in You Yu, "Xiao Tienu has rebelled!" The great general has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens! After being petrified on the spot, he couldn't move anymore, Chen Zhenghui was also so shocked that he couldn't stand on his feet, and suddenly something fell to the ground with a loud bang outside, Chen Zhenghui came back to his senses and shouted: "What person! ”

A woman's voice outside the door whispered, "Princess, this ......"

After listening to Yan Hu's voice, he said, "Open ...... ......"It turned out that after Yang Yingqi left, the maid happened to send sweet soup, and she was worried about Yang Yingqi and sent it in person, who knew that she heard this outside the door!"

Chen Zhenghui heard that it was the tiger princess who hurriedly opened the door, Wan Yanhu stepped over the broken dishes and walked in, the maid wanted to clean up, and Wan Yanhu shouted: "What else to clean up!" And he said, "Close the door and keep it at the door, and no one shall come near." ”

The maid hurriedly closed the door.

"Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law ......" Yang Yingqi stood up, and was at a loss for a while.

Wan Yanhu bit his lip and sat down, covering his face for a while, before asking, "What's going on!" ”

You Yu knelt on the ground and told what he had seen and heard one by one, and Wan Yanhu heard it with tears in his eyes and said, "Slanted also!" Sticky Han! No! Hello! Hello! Asked Yang Yingqi: "Yingqi, you say, what should we do?" What to do? ”

"This ...... This...... I ......"

Wanyan Hu saw that Yang Yingqi was still so frightened, and said with a pause: "Ying Qi! You...... At this time, you can't mess around! But no matter what she said, Yang Yingqi always hummed twice, and failed to say half a constructive sentence. Wan Yanhu was impatient, and said earnestly: "Ying Qi! You...... How did you...... Alas! Unpromising! Pointing at You Yu and Zhang Yuanliang, he said, "Follow me!" ”

Chen Zhenghui hurriedly said, "Princess, what are you going to do?" ”

Wanyan Hu said: "I'll go to Liaokou and lead the troops to fight with them!" ”

Chen Zhenghui was shocked: "This ...... Princess, the general is still in their hands! ”

Wan Yanhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, the general is still in their hands...... What can I do? Grabbed Yang Yingqi and said, "Yingqi, think of a way!" Think of a way! ”

"Sister-in-law...... I...... I can't help it! This...... How so...... How so! ”

"You! Alas! After Yan Hu sighed and turned to go out, Chen Zhenghui hurriedly said, "Princess, where are you going?" ”

Wan Yanhu didn't look back, but said, "I'll go to Uncle Di and discuss it!" He took You Yu, Zhang Yuanliang and others away.

When Chen Zhenghui looked back at Yang Yingqi, he saw that he seemed to have not returned to his soul, and shouted: "Seven generals! Seven Generals! Seven Generals! ”

Yang Yingqi sighed, and then fell into a daze again. Zhi Yanchong was captured, which was heartbreaking for Wanyanhu, but for Yang Yingqi, it was like the sky falling apart. Many of his initiatives over the years have been based on relying on Orihiko. Now that he has suddenly lost Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi's long-awaited Hanbu career is like being sucked out of firewood before the bottom of the kettle is boiling, and the building has been taken away before the cornerstone is completed, and the blueprint he thought he could still do will immediately become a piece of waste paper!

"This ...... The eldest brother was captured...... That's not right! What went wrong? What went wrong? ”

At this moment, Yang Yingqi's mind was completely chaotic. His resourcefulness may be deeper than Chen Zhenghui's, but his status determines that he is a hundred times more seriously affected by this incident than Chen Zhenghui.

At that moment, many things that should not have come out of his mind kept running around, national, worldly, political, friendly, and even thoughts and doubts about the other world. He shouldn't have thought about those "useless" things, he should have concentrated on thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of him, but how he should and how he could be are usually two different things - at least Yang Yingqi in front of him is almost completely out of control, and at this moment, his mind is definitely in a state of semi-madness.

He remembered the thirty-year-long "modern dream" he had in Death Valley, and that dream still haunts him today. He often can't figure out which of the dreams and the world in front of him is real and which is illusory! He had hoped that Zhi Yanchong could solve this answer for him, because he had always thought that Zhi Yanchong was his brother in another world, but Zhi Yanchong never "remembered" everything Yang Yingqi said, which strengthened Yang Yingqi's doubts about truth and falsehood. One of the results of this suspicion and confusion was that the serious illness that almost went crazy was triggered by the monk Huiqin.

After that serious illness, Huiqin wrote to him several times, but Yang Yingqi did not reply. Why? Maybe it's because he doesn't think Huiqin is entirely credible, or maybe it's because the words of the monk didn't exactly fit his dreams - but only because there were similarities in some places.

"Maybe the old monk really has Taoism, maybe he really saw that I had a dream that didn't belong to this world, but ......"

But it is also possible that the monk's words are false. Even the profoundness of the monks who have explored the other world is always between the obscure and the real. Is their surreal experience a kind of knowledge or a kind of self-hypnosis? Yang Yingqi couldn't say clearly. For the situation in that world, the only person he trusts is Orihiko Chong, because only Orihiko Chong can prove it!

"If the eldest brother can remember that 'dream', then that dream must be true! But ......"

"Seven Generals! Seven Generals! It was Chen Zhenghui calling him.

Yang Yingqi asked again, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Zhenghui cried out bitterly: "How long are you going to be confused!" Now that the general has fallen into the hands of the enemy, if you don't cheer up, what can the Hanbu do? ”

Big Brother Lost? Yes! Yes! The eldest brother fell into the hands of the Jurchens.

"What can I do? What can I do? ”

Zhi Yanchong is a very special existence for Yang Yingqi, he is not only Yang Yingqi's connection with "that world", but also his pillar in this world. Especially in political life, he always consciously took Orihiko's position as his own, and he did not want to become a will. Because he thinks that being the boss is a very tiring thing and requires taking on too many responsibilities that cannot be shirked. At first he only saw himself as a counselor, but he did not know - or did not want to admit - that his current abilities and status were beyond that role, and even those around him were far from expecting him from him.

"Seven Generals, you have to cheer up!" Chen Zhenghui said: "Cheer up! ”

"Cheer up?" Yang Yingqi said: "I know...... I will, I must cheer up, otherwise how can I save my eldest brother......"

"No!" Chen Zhenghui said: "Saving the general is not a top priority!" ”

"What did you say?" Yang Yingqi said angrily: "This is not a top priority, so what is the top priority?" ”

"The top priority is not to save the general, but to save the Han Department!" Chen Zhenghui said: "The general can fall, but the Han Department can't collapse!" Even if...... Even if there is no general, the Hanbu will continue to walk! ”

"The Great General is the one who leads us!" Yang Yingqi said loudly: "Without him, how can we go on!" How to go down! ”

Chen Zhenghui glared at Yang Yingqi and said in a deep voice: "We can go down under the leadership of the Seventh General!" ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Me? I can't! I'm not that material at all! I don't have that ability! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "You have! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I didn't! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "You have! ”

"I didn't! No! No! Yang Yingqi roared again: "Even if I have it, I won't do it!" I'm not fit to be a leader! The leader is the big brother, and it can only be the big brother! No one else, including me, can't! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But now that the general has fallen, the Han Department can only rely on you......"

"Don't rely on me!" Yang Yingqi shouted: "Don't rely on me! I'm not a reliable person! I am not firm on my own, how can I be your trust? ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "If you can't stand firmly, everyone can hold you steady!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Help me? Why don't you help your big brother? ”

"Now there is no general in the Han Department!" Chen Zhenghui said sharply: "Only you!" Only you! ”

Yang Yingqi was silent for a moment and said, "I will find a way to rescue the eldest brother." ”

Chen Zhenghui asked, "What about before that?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Before that, I will assist my sister-in-law!" Sister-in-law can replace the eldest brother as our spiritual leader! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Even if you support the tiger princess, everyone knows that it is just a symbol!" The tiger princess can be their representative, but she is a woman after all! I can't be everyone's support! ”

"I ...... Rely upon...... This ......"

Chen Zhenghui said: "You are in chaos, your position is not strong!" You don't even know what to do when you connect down! ”

"What's next...... The next thing is to defend the Han Department and rescue the eldest brother! ”

"Defend the Han Department? In your current state, do you think you can hold the Han Ministry? Chen Zhenghui said: "What's more, holding the Han Department is just a strategy, not even a specific step!" The most important thing for us now is to tell the people that even without a general, the Han can still move forward! Only in this way will the people have confidence, and only in this way will the Han tribe not be divided. Whether Liaokou can be defended or not is not the most important thing, and even whether the Jinmen can be defended is not the most important! The most important thing now is to give the people confidence so that they can unite and move on! But who can give them faith? There used to be one person, and that was the Great General! Now that the general is gone, you are the only one who can give the people this kind of confidence! Only you! ”

Yang Yingqi said angrily: "I don't have confidence myself!" How to make others confident! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "That's why we need you to cheer up!" You have to have faith, you have to know what you're going to do! You have to convince your people to believe in you, not to trust the other generals aimlessly! ”

Hearing this, Yang Yingqi suddenly quieted down, Chen Zhenghui didn't speak again, and there was no sound in the room at all.

"Seven generals......" Chen Zhenghui's voice also became very low, as if he didn't want to disturb the peace in the room: "I'll go out first, I'm afraid that the princess will make a decision that is unfavorable to the situation." Be quiet, but be quick! We don't have much time. ”

"Hmm." Yang Yingqi responded almost unconsciously.

Before leaving, Chen Zhenghui glanced back at Yang Yingqi and was quite relieved - because he felt that Yang Yingqi had begun to calm down.
