Legends in Chu and Han - C312
Xiang Yu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, when suddenly, a melodious zither sound rang out, lingering in the pavilion, resonating with the wind, melodious and beautiful, as though the violinist’s heart was filled with love for his lover, as though he was weeping, causing people to feel as if their stomachs were being pinched, wishing that they would finally be together, and not be tormented by this tragic and beautiful melody.
The zither music drifted in the night sky, the moon washed lead and flowers, the zither music filled the air, enveloping the entire Chu Army. Many of the sleepless Chu Bing s who smelled the zither music did not move or move to listen, feeling the sweet melody.
She had played the zither more than once in the night, and whenever this happened, she would always be the one standing outside her window listening. But now, he was going to send her to another man’s bosom, wasn’t this the same as cutting the heart?
Unable to fall asleep, he lay on the bed feeling restless. Xiang Yu sat up, put on the outer coat and walked out of the room.
The cold moon hung high in the sky, serene as water. The entire palace was filled with the faint sound of the zither, as if it were real and illusory.
“She misses the person she fancied again. However, she deeply regrets that it wasn’t me!” Xiang Yu sighed in her heart, carrying a little melancholy and dejection. Naturally, she understood Yu Ji’s current state of mind.
But in regards to the relationship between a man and a woman, he was sentimental and indecisive, completely unlike what a man who competed for the world should do. A gentleman loves a tender child, this was what it meant to take a fancy to a woman who did not love him, this was undoubtedly asking for trouble.
Xiang Yu walked along the path and arrived at the courtyard where the two girls were temporarily staying. The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, and under the moonlight, they were emitting crystal beads. At this moment, all the guards had left their posts and were leaning against an empty space not far from the pavilion. They were mesmerized by the sound of the zither.
These guards followed Xiang Yu for a battle, all of them were men who had fought in the battlefield for a long time. They were sturdy, bloodless men, and from the elite soldier who were fearless on the battlefield to the ones who did not fear death, all of them had snot or tears, as they were infected by the sound of the zither and were unable to control themselves.
This sorrowful zither music made them think of their parents and their wives and children in the Jiangdong. The melancholy and sadness of missing their homeland arose spontaneously, it was Qin Lie who caused them to suffer the hardships of war. It was the war that caused them to leave their hometowns and almost die on the battlefield.
Xiang Yu walked to the side of the guard, not saying a word, afraid of suddenly interrupting the elegant mental state, while the guards all merged into the zither music, completely forgetting their duties, the ones that should be guarded did not guard, the ones that should be patrolled did not patrol, they stood on the spot, their gazes staring at the candlelight figure in front of the window, they all wished for the river of time to freeze at this moment.
Suddenly, the sound of the zither became more and more anxious. It was obvious that the lady who played the zither was becoming more and more anxious. Finally, the sound stopped and the inside of the window let out a soft sigh.
The guard’s face was gloomy. At this time a guard noticed him and knelt down in fear: “Overlord!”
“Overlord!” The other guards all knelt down, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, as if they had just awoken from a dream. They had abandoned their duties in the army without authorization and had to be dealt with according to military law, and when these guards saw Xiang Yu suddenly appear in front of them, they were completely unprepared.
Xiang Yu clearly did not care, her mind was focused on the two girls in the pavilion, she waved her hand for the guards to leave, each taking their own duties, the guards continued to guard, the patrol rushed to patrol, and suddenly the courtyard became quiet again.
Xiang Yu hesitantly walked to the door of the attic, momentarily hesitating, not knowing whether she should knock, but thinking that this night might be the last time she would talk to the two girls, she couldn’t help but knock on the door.
“Dang, dang, dang, dang …” The silent courtyard was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Who?” Yu Ji’s voice rang out with a trace of dissatisfaction.
“It’s me, Xiang Yu!” He mustered the courage to reply from outside the door, which carried the meaning of a brave warrior: Xiao Xiao Xi.
To Yu Ji, this name was akin to a cold blade, piercing through her heart.
“What are you doing here? Could it be that you think bullying Miao Ge is not enough, you want to deceive us? Xiang Yu, if you are a man, then send us to Long Tianyu’s side. Then, openly engage the Dragon Army in a fair and square battle, whoever wins will be decided by the heavens, even if you win, you are still a hero, and even if you lose you will still be considered a good man. But, what are you doing now, relying on deceptive tricks to trap someone’s wife to threaten your opponent, don’t you feel despicable? ” At first, Yu Ji was gentle and beautiful, and such peerless beauties rarely had a temper. However, when he thought about how they would not meet for a year, he almost lost his virginity last night. The more he spoke, the more his words became sharp.
Hearing Yu Ji’s merciless denunciation, Xiang Yu’s face lost all color. He hurriedly said, “No no no, Miao Ge, I came here tonight to tell you that I’m going to send you back to the Dragon Army. What I said was true!”
Hearing that he was going to send her back to Long Lang’s side, Yu Ji turned from resentment to joy. A fragrant wind blew past, and she couldn’t wait to open the door.
Xiang Yu nodded: “Of course it’s true, why would I be willing to lie to Miao Ge?”
Even though she was one of the four famous girls who toured all over the place, she did not have much experience at all. Right now, she truly missed Long Tianyu too much, one year’s worth of time was equivalent to a lifetime’s worth of waiting, and the kind of days where she would miss her husband so much would be too difficult to bear. When she first heard that Xiang Yu was going to send him back, regardless of whether he had any tricks up his sleeve, she was eager to know.
Just as she was about to reply, Yueyao’s voice sounded from inside the house, “Ji Er, haven’t they gone back on their words recently? Right now, he is enemies with Long Tianyu, so how could she have such a huge heart? ”
“Yueyao has really decided to meet with someone, previously, the enmity between us was entirely because of the difference in positions, under the premise of the annihilation of Qin, in order to fight with one another for the throne of the Central Mountain, it was destroyed in a flash, Long Tianyu entered the Xianyang first, this has already become an indisputable fact, with all the dukes under the heavens as witnesses, I, Xiang Yu, will not go back on my word, so I have decided to end this conflict with the Allied Coalition, stop the slaughter, and resume the six countries’ old system of dynasties, Zhao Qi, Wei Yanchu, and some other dukes will all receive their duels, thus I will naturally send you back to their places.”
Yu Ji said joyfully, “What you mean is, Tyrannical Qin was overthrown and the war is over. Miao Ge can finally return to Long Lang’s side.”
Xiang Yu looked at the excited Yu Ji, elegant and refined, indescribably beautiful. Seeing her happy, he herself was happy as well. However, when she heard the last sentence, her heart was inexplicably cut by a knife, sighing: Why is it that the man she loves isn’t me!
“Then, can I go in and explain?” Xiang Yu still remembered the agreement he had made with Yu Ji, they couldn’t allow each other to enter the other’s room. Seeing that Yu Ji’s resentment had greatly dissipated, he wanted to seize this final moment to reunite with her.
This was how men were. The more unobtrusive a woman was, the higher she held her in her arms, and the more despicable she seemed.
The peerless beauty was so charming, it caused countless heroes to bow before her.
Yu Ji’s mood became better as she said indifferently: “I can only enter for half an hour and have to leave right after. Before I see Long Lang again, I don’t want to be in the same room as other men.”
Under the dim red light, Yueyao was dressed in a plain white gown, as elegant as an immortal, as she leaned leisurely on the couch while holding a bamboo scroll in her hands. She did not give off the feeling of a warm lamb or a delicate and delicate girl like Yu Ji, and Yueyao, who was a genius in martial arts, exuded a heroic, heroic, heroic, and talent.
Xiang Yu looked at the talented girl’s expression and could vaguely see her beautiful and intelligent mother on her body. She was extremely similar, not only did she have a peerless beauty, but also her peerless talent and sword arts. Even her personality and voice were somewhat similar.
“Did the Mr. Fan agree to let the Allies go?” She was proficient in ancient history, and was not as naive as Yu Ji. When he thought about it carefully, he did not believe that Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng would easily compromise.
In response to Yueyao’s inquiry, she replied selectively, “The reinforcements formed by the one hundred thousand disciples of the Jiangdong would rush to the Lantian City tomorrow. After the preparation, they would head west to the outskirts of the Xianyang City and station at the Hong Gate. They would set up a banquet and invite the various Allied Alliance leaders in the Xianyang to discuss the matter of the conferred world together.
Li Yueyao had a pure heart and turned her spiritual eyes, thinking: Xiang Yu holds a heavy weapon and hosts a banquet at the Hong Gate, inviting all sorts of dukes over, the authority to kill naturally falls into the hands of the Chu Army, will this Hong Gate Feast really be so simple?
