Chapter 63 Hongmen Banquet
ps: Today is Dragon Boat Festival, eat more rice dumplings. Eat one for me too...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A dignified Xiang Yu, a hero of the world, would he have such a strange face?
Now, not only Zhang Liang, but also Liu Bang were stunned.
Even Fan Zeng and the Chu generals were silent and stood there without moving, leaving the wine bottle full of it, without notice.
Fan Zeng looked at "Xiang Yu" and in an instant, there was a huge change from before.
He looked at Xiang Yu, as if he was trying hard to say something, but he didn't say anything. The wrinkles on his face were bulging, as if they were full of smiles. He didn't want to laugh out loud, and his eyes flashed continuously. "...Come, have you not heard King Xiang?"
"Let's wait!"
When Liu Bang heard Xiang Yu move seriously, he was completely panicked. He pale, grabbed the hem of his clothes and knelt in the center of the lobby.
Lao Lei looked at Liu Bang in the hall with interest. It was a supreme honor to be worshipped by Emperor Gaozu of Han.
Also, "If Liu Bang was really killed at the Hongmen Banquet, then he Pei Gong would no longer be a brave and smart hero, but a fool who came to his house to die. He would not be able to become the founding emperor later."
"King Xiang, before you raise the butcher's knife, my brother has something to say!"
Liu Bang called himself the eldest brother and blocked Fan Zeng's mouth.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had the right to be sworn brother. Now he has brought out his identity as the eldest brother, just to turn military and national affairs into family affairs. The purpose is to make others unable to interfere.
At this point, Liu Bang still believes that Xiang Yu was just a fool who was easy to fool. The one who really had the will to kill him was Fan Zeng and a group of Chu generals.
"...You and I became sworn brothers and swore together that we would not ask for birth on the same day of the same year, but we would ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year, and... I, Liu Bang, made a promise, no matter what difficulties you have in the future, I will come to help you as soon as possible. And you, Xiang Yu, also made a promise, no matter how I betray you in the future, I will spare me to die."
Liu Bang said, tears falling from his eyes one by one. He didn't want to wipe it dry or stop crying.
Soon, the hem of the clothes became wet.
But the deep and shallow color seemed to smile at Lao Lei with a certain dark and sarcastic aura.
Ask yourself, if Lao Lei did not know this history in advance, based on Zhang Liang's words and Liu Bang's acting skills, he would be a little embarrassed and would be unable to do anything.
But unfortunately, the current "Xiang Yu" is just a body, and the third round of the challenge is not real history, and it may be just a "copy".
Therefore, Lao Lei will definitely kill Liu Bang and pass this third round of challenge. Since it is the mission goal, even if it is possible to change history, it will be spared.
"...If I, Liu Bang, really betrayed my brother, I am very willing to die. Now... I just want to know, my elder brother just wants to ask you one thing, what did I do wrong? You must kill me without regard for the meaning of swornship."
Liu Bang's outstanding acting skills and tears in his voice, even the Chu generals who were watching were moved.
"King Xiang, this heartfelt words of Pei Gong were moved by him. And according to my understanding, after Pei Gong entered the pass and broke Xianyang, he sealed the silver treasury and did not take away any person or thing in Xianyang city. He would like to show your loyalty to you. I hope King Xiang will think twice!"
Xiang Bo pleaded with his uncle as his uncle, and made many generals of Chu agree, "Yes, although Liu Bang dared to enter the pass first, it was not an unforgivable crime to kill the tyrannical Qin. He said every word he said was reasonable and could not be killed."
"Yes, yes. Who is King Xiang? You must not ruin your reputation for a lifetime in this matter."
After listening to what Liu Bang and Xiang Bo said, in this brilliantly lit lobby, the only one who was still full of murderous intentions towards Liu Bang was left except Fan Zeng.
However, according to Lao Lei's knowledge, Xiang Bo, who played a key role in fueling the Hongmen Banquet, was blinded by Liu Bang, Xiao He and Zhang Liang. He even formed a family with Liu Bang in private. Relying on being Xiang Yu's uncle, this man disclosed military secrets to the enemy in advance, and his courage was even greater than that of heaven.
After all, as a temporary guest appearance, the Chu and Han strife and the world belonged, nothing happened, so Liu Bang must kill.
Just when Lao Lei was hesitating and how to start, a riot suddenly came from outside. Lao Lei suddenly browed and was about to ask questions, but he saw a burly man with a swallow chin and tiger beard, a leopard head and a round eyes, holding a sword and shield in his hand, suddenly broke into the military gate.
"Bold, who is making noise outside!"
Seeing King Xiang frowning, Long Qi left his seat and stood up.
"Let me in, I am under my command of Pei Gong, Fan Kuai!"
The response from the visitor is neither humble nor arrogant, and even though he is added with countless swords, he is still fearless.
Fan Kuai is coming, and the Hongmen Banquet is coming to an end. Based on the principle of killing a nest and doing the whole set, Lao Lei waved his hand and ordered, "Let him in!"
The King of Chu in history, Xiang Yu respected heroes, and Lao Lei also respected heroes, but the slight difference from Xiang Yu is that Lao Lei only respected heroes who were loyal to him.
"Pei Gong's subordinates took over Fan Kuai to pay homage to the lord and General Xiang!"
Fan Kuai first worshiped Liu Bang and later worshiped Lao Lei. While everyone admired Fan Kuai as a brave general and a hero, they felt a little unhappy.
"Fan Kuai, why are you here if you don't lead troops in the camp?"
Liu Bang scolded Fan Kuai. But in the eyes of Lao Lei, a distinguished person, it was obvious that this was just a play they had agreed on in advance.
"Lord, Fan Kuai is here. He is just so upset that he wants to ask General Xiang two words, and he is happy to say something."
Another verbal battle came. Lao Lei's patience was about to be worn out. Fan Kuai was just a butcher who slaughtered pigs. Apart from killing people, there was no other eloquence. What he wanted to say was nothing more than the words Zhang Liang taught him in advance.
In history, Xiang Yu first gave Fan Kuai wine and then meat, and then gave him a chance to speak.
Lao Lei also planned to follow it, but it is necessary to change the contents of giving wine and meat here.
"A man comes, give me a pot of wine..."
Lao Lei changed the wine to a pot. I don’t believe you don’t start talking nonsense when you get drunk.
As the commander of the army, the King of Chu "Xiang Yu", Lao Lei naturally did not know how big the so-called "pot" was, it was basically a large pottery jar and a small wine jar.
"Fan Kuai thanked General Xiang."
Fan Kuai was indeed Fan Kuai. When he heard Lao Lei intentionally making things difficult, his face remained unchanged. He picked up the wine jar and poured it hard, 'Gudong, Gudong......" As his Adam's apple squirmed, all the eyes in the lobby were facing the focus of this place. The generals couldn't help but exclaim, "It's true that he has a good amount of alcohol."
Only Lao Lei, who was sitting high on the Shuai's desk, outlined a sneer on his lips. "Hmph, don't be anxious. I'll finish drinking it, there's still meat. I'll keep you, Peixian butcher."
The slutty sneer that was outlined by Lao Lei's mouth just now happened to fall into Fan Zeng's eyes. He suddenly raised his sleeves and rubbed his eyes constantly, confirming that he was not a person. Xiang Yu was indeed smiling. The bulging muscles under Fan Zeng's face were twitching quickly and constantly.
"Who said that the boss was not good enough to make a plan? It's said that Xiang Yu is the most arrogant maniac in the world."
"I pride myself on my knowledge and have countless people to see. I didn't expect that there would be times when I missed it. Yu'er not only uses the courage of a king, but also has the talent of a hero... When the world is peaceful and the success and fame will come true in the future, it will be time for me to retire to the mountains and forests."
"It seems that today, Liu Bang is more than wanting to go back in a hurry..."
Realizing the thoughts of "Xiang Yu", Fan Zeng felt a anxious heart and finally settled down.
Recalling Xiang Yu's previous rogue and these sudden changes, Fan Zeng seemed to be in a happy world, sitting alone, thinking of the beauty, he couldn't help but drink one cup after another.
At this time, a loud burp came from the Lobby Mountain, which caused laughter from the generals. Lao Lei saw that Fan Kuai's face was flushed and shaking, and continued to give meat, "Where is wine or not, it is reported that I, Xiang Yu, have been slow to treat the heroes. People come, give meat. Remember, General Fan Kuai likes to eat raw and eats a lot of food."
Lao Lei's sudden cold voice made the once noisy lobby sound audible.
"...Dare, I dare to ask King Xiang, how much food is Fan Kuai's participation? I wonder if one pig's leg is enough?"
The chef who was on standby in the hall was unable to determine how big the King Xiang said was that "the appetite is very high". He was afraid of asking for punishment afterwards, and hesitated again and again, and still timidly asked Lao Lei. But this recklessness should be disrespectful to the commander in the military camp.
"Damn it!"
Lao Lei pretended to be angry and shouted, "Who is Fan Kuai? Pei Gong's subordinates have tremendous force and the number one brave general who has attacked countless cities... How can one pig's leg be enough? If you want to get on, you can get on horse legs, and you will have ten!
As soon as Lao Lei finished speaking, he heard a 'clang' sound from the hall. Zhang Liang, the first counselor under Liu Bang, suddenly raised the table and glared at Lao Lei, "Xiang Yu, don't bully people too much!"
Seeing that disaster was inevitable, Liu Bang also turned his face and drew out his sword and shouted loudly, "Child Xiang Yu, if you want to take my head, come and take it. You can kill the scholars and not be humiliated. I will not allow you to insult my brothers of life and death!"
I thought Liu Bang would endure it until he could not bear it so quickly, but I couldn't help it. I broke up and it was exactly this moment that Lao Lei was looking forward to!
However, what he did not expect was that there had never happened in the Hongmen Banquet in history. At this time, a sudden change occurred.
