四面楚歌,八千楚兵潛逃離營。漢軍未敢鬆懈,先遣三漢潛入楚營察看情況。414Please respect copyright.PENANAOTP9jhBvXD
414Please respect copyright.PENANAxWs90fPLxV
楚兵潰不成軍,何解前方幃帳仍有歌聲舞影?其中一名大漢在帳外窺視。414Please respect copyright.PENANAXuHa4P7wXX
414Please respect copyright.PENANA8aufoyLIrT
西楚霸王項羽愁眉苦臉,握劍獨酌,如癡如醉細賞絕色虞姬曼妙舞姿。烏髮飄飄,白袖翩翩。旋身扭腰,舉手投足,每一動作柔中帶勁,勁度適中,不慍不火,將上乘內功完美融入舞步當中。414Please respect copyright.PENANAu0nxBYDF6U
414Please respect copyright.PENANArsuKFFndAt
大漢恍然大悟——難怪每次項羽總能在絕境死局中殺出重圍,原來有虞姬暗中幫忙。414Please respect copyright.PENANACUC04OfPGM
414Please respect copyright.PENANAg2qvJLtgMU
「帳外的壯士,賞面把酒言歡嗎?」項羽沒待大漢回答,逕自舉壼酙滿酒杯。414Please respect copyright.PENANAOOHjNUiZsM
414Please respect copyright.PENANAB7MIYIkLl8
大漢嚇得僵住,不懂進退。項羽明白大漢擔憂,大手一揚,隨手將寶劍扔向幃帳一隅。虞姬順勢一跳一躍,伸手接下快要著地的寶劍,動作俐落得彷彿接劍一幕原本就是舞步的一部份。414Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y5yS901wU
414Please respect copyright.PENANAgjFo57WRLJ
「大王,何必呢?」虞姬謙恭欠身雙手奉上寶劍。雖是女兒身,卻深明隨身武器好比武者的尊嚴,何況是心高氣傲的項羽!414Please respect copyright.PENANAs8zZV0RJPF
414Please respect copyright.PENANAMU9iQhaiZV
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍,苦笑續杯。414Please respect copyright.PENANAtRyjf6Bl5J
414Please respect copyright.PENANAWQKql3dfYC
虞姬目光一轉,熱情招呼大漢入帳共飲。大漢自問沒有全身而退的可能,只得應邀入帳。414Please respect copyright.PENANAAYXUiFLJZc
414Please respect copyright.PENANAwdxzr3wM4q
帳內,氣氛怪異。大漢正襟危坐,不敢沾酒半滴,項羽、虞姬閒話家常,從容自若。414Please respect copyright.PENANAS15N63dgKH
414Please respect copyright.PENANAWtliqKDkE6
戰場上有可能存在不帶考慮的邀約嗎?大漢不相信項羽會如此輕率隨性。素聞項羽城府甚深,沒可能從他口中探聽消息。他有意無意打量虞姬——情根深種的女人最容易露出破綻……414Please respect copyright.PENANAurHk00MmwY
414Please respect copyright.PENANAIvP3C1hp5Y
舞盡,大漢鼓掌。項羽眉頭稍鬆:「無論是何方人士,都會喜歡虞姬的舞步。」414Please respect copyright.PENANA9pc7L0Af0V
414Please respect copyright.PENANAFeX5crrLAL
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢,全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。414Please respect copyright.PENANAheUbsyQdx2
414Please respect copyright.PENANA2MJTOvxB7s
「相信虞姬將來定會嫁個好夫君。」項羽於心有愧,不敢正視虞姬,目光停留在杯中酒水的微顫倒影之上。「希望壯士日後能為虞姬說句好話。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAGgLx0lh3tV
414Please respect copyright.PENANAFB3JASH6Ep
項羽語帶雙關,表面為虞姬作媒,實為請求大漢在劉邦面前為虞姬求情。此話出乎眾人意料,不單是大漢,連虞姬亦大為震驚。414Please respect copyright.PENANAxMjn7VpUTF
414Please respect copyright.PENANAUrGCzYkp6Q
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信,衝口而出直道心裡疑問。414Please respect copyright.PENANA1zBNAxXgjS
414Please respect copyright.PENANAmrra7fzcG8
「對大王要用尊稱!」虞姬盛怒,從衣袖抽出佩劍,瞄準大漢喉頭直刺。414Please respect copyright.PENANAqNa2XxSTs7
414Please respect copyright.PENANAadUyRNXSea
大漢從席中彈起,順勢右手一撥,酒杯應勁飛彈向虞姬秀臉。虞姬及時欠身避過,全身白衣不沾滴酒,惟錯失刺殺良機。眼見大漢距出入口僅餘幾步之遙,虞姬情急擲劍飛擊。414Please respect copyright.PENANAcY8dccjxGB
414Please respect copyright.PENANAdMS8bYMSLA
電光火石之間,項羽扔杯撞開虞姬的佩劍,救下大漢一命,輕嘆:「虞姬,無謂執著。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAEdIOlSGA5p
414Please respect copyright.PENANAwdimV3wWmM
虞姬正要開口回話之時,項羽離座把玩閒置在帳中一隅的五弦琴。誰料弦線忽斷,在項羽手腕劃下一道血痕。虞姬連忙上前為項羽治理傷口。來回忙碌的玉手忽爾凝住——不屬於她的溫熱淚水滴落她的手背上,既輕且重。414Please respect copyright.PENANACjkwF0OVxD
414Please respect copyright.PENANAHlQMI6YJZ8
「力拔山兮氣蓋世。時不利兮騅不逝。騅不逝兮可奈何!虞兮虞兮奈若何!」身經百戰的項羽不堪壓力,心防竟被斷弦劃破,淚流不止。他不是天選之人,即便再優秀、再努力亦無法成為王者。甘心嗎?不甘心又如何?根本無能為力。414Please respect copyright.PENANAK8s8jCcufE
414Please respect copyright.PENANA0SKgBzyof3
虞姬攙扶項羽回座,勉力擠出笑容,誠懇恭敬向大漢道歉:「壯士,請饒恕小女子無禮。希望閣下大人有大量,繼續留帳享用美酒。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAfRy18O2MxZ
414Please respect copyright.PENANAllCCAYzt3c
夜正深,月正圓,項羽、虞姬這對苦命鴛鴦已一腳踏入鬼門關,大漢不禁為二人暗暗惋歎。靈光一閃,大漢決定為二人帶來最後一點快樂回憶:「恭敬不如從命。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAn82OYiVQ99
414Please respect copyright.PENANAh79LK59Dji
大漢走向僅餘四弦的琴,即席譜曲彈奏。曲調先是激昂悠揚,繼而沉鬱悲壯,似是描述項羽的事蹟。更妙的是,曲末幾句的音調剛好適合套在項羽悉才有感而發唸出的四句詩作。「這是在下獻給大王的曲子!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAvcrAX4G941
414Please respect copyright.PENANAOi5CT3Xsq5
「好!妙極!」項羽破涕為笑,擊節讚賞。414Please respect copyright.PENANA30hFbwvyux
414Please respect copyright.PENANAtBO37rBF5k
虞姬感動又感激,帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。414Please respect copyright.PENANAqA2zEROVcM
414Please respect copyright.PENANAAuPEv7hcuA
大漢再次奏曲,虞姬隨曲執劍起舞,項羽興致大發:「力拔山兮氣蓋世。時不利兮騅不逝。騅不逝兮可奈何!虞兮虞兮奈若何!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAVmsAvzu36x
414Please respect copyright.PENANAUxu6fcPm72
曲盡,舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱:「漢兵已略地,四面楚歌聲。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAh5By1COVTK
414Please respect copyright.PENANACtl4QveNpd
半醉的項羽聽出話中的話,驀地抬頭望向虞姬,只見她一個旋身將劍刃架在頸上。414Please respect copyright.PENANAxLE6VyEUTj
414Please respect copyright.PENANAgJYt8YtmUL
「大王意氣盡,賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆,雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。414Please respect copyright.PENANAa6CnibegGf
414Please respect copyright.PENANAUk35F8TonI
虞姬倒地無聲,項羽不聲不吭,將杯中美酒一飲而盡,拾劍離帳。414Please respect copyright.PENANAnRTi7gCLWR
414Please respect copyright.PENANA6CtDqpg2TU
怎會不愛?怎會不痛?奈何再多的愛亦改變不了事實——虞姬自刎就是因為項羽認命,就是因為他任由絕望在心裡張牙舞爪!虞姬用自己的寶貴生命提醒項羽,該要時刻緊記作為男人的尊嚴和承擔!項羽暗暗起誓,絕不再次辜負她的厚望,誓必奮戰至最後一刻!414Please respect copyright.PENANA1tsHyrLEML

「朕的子民,跟朕殺出重圍!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAGsJDoQikqf
414Please respect copyright.PENANAzevcRwRE0e
楚軍重新列陣佈防期間,項羽回到帳內,發現大漢未有逃去,依然愣立原地。414Please respect copyright.PENANAmnl1WkLBS0
414Please respect copyright.PENANAYMrQHIrQmc
「壯士不需要回去覆命嗎?」項羽神情輕鬆,沒有顯露任何亡國喪妻之痛。414Please respect copyright.PENANArkWFJpIS9d
414Please respect copyright.PENANA8pgPtpYnuI
「我不打算回去……」大漢仍被虞姬的剛烈與情深所憾動。他憶起劉邦縱然滿嘴仁義道德,卻屢次於身陷困境時拋棄妻兒和部下獨自逃走。他的虛偽與項羽、虞姬的真性情根本無可比擬。「希望大王能將我收歸麾下。」414Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ZsYOaCn9
414Please respect copyright.PENANALaaXlbeviS
緊接的一戰定必九死一生。雖是萍水相逢,項羽卻不希望大漢一同赴死。想及大漢乃性情中人,願為知音赴湯蹈火,項羽心生一計,既可保大漢一命,亦可了卻自己心願:「好!朕命你帶虞姬遺體回鄉安葬!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAZLkXVsQomU
414Please respect copyright.PENANArzjAH83Sqb
「大王!」大漢受寵若驚,下跪叩首:「在下定必不負聖望!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAH47r4b4VFg
414Please respect copyright.PENANANCAjG81Snq
分道揚鑣,後會無期。項羽高調領著數百子弟兵殺出重圍,好讓大漢和廿名年輕楚兵能順利抄小道離開。奈何項羽算漏了與大漢一同溜入楚營刺探情報的兩名漢兵……414Please respect copyright.PENANATM01zkNEp8
414Please respect copyright.PENANAn1C05SEiVf
中後段的三名楚兵誤踩機關,中箭墮馬身亡。尾隨在後的四名楚兵經驗不足,沒能駕馭受驚的戰馬,跟不上大漢與前段楚兵的步伐,慘被埋伏的漢兵亂刀斬殺。大漢想要回頭救人,誰料身邊其中一名楚兵阻止大漢。414Please respect copyright.PENANAjrDuFXtQdZ
414Please respect copyright.PENANApPwtxdBmsX
「大王表面是要我們安葬虞姬,實則是希望我們能好好活下去!」大漢施力收緊韁繩。414Please respect copyright.PENANAyUEejPLx13
414Please respect copyright.PENANAyK7iSIT3Gt
「所以我們更要好好安葬虞姬!」楚兵苦口婆心力勸:「大王寧以愛人的遺體作餌,亦要增加我們活下去的機會!這份情義、這份恩情,我們該如何報答?你說!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAlDswzbF1FV
414Please respect copyright.PENANAErf8vpaNyg
「好好安葬虞姬……」大漢恍然大悟,哈哈大笑:「我竟然比不上你這小子!」414Please respect copyright.PENANAgnva2yRVPV
414Please respect copyright.PENANA9zOUuIxS5a
沿路伏兵不少,楚漢兩軍皆有死傷。最終能跟隨大漢殺出重圍的僅有兩名年輕人。三人變裝入城,火化虞姬,然後帶著骨灰穿州過省,順利到達虞姬家鄉。安葬虞姬後,大漢與兩名年輕人道別不復見。414Please respect copyright.PENANAOENHKFqZXq
414Please respect copyright.PENANAMkwJM6KTM6
大漢再次得知項羽消息已是兩個月後的事。官府公告項羽於垓下之戰落敗,在烏江自刎身亡。耳聞目睹鄉里們齊聲歡呼,笑罵項羽懦夫,大漢心裡不是滋味——他認定劉邦造謠貶低項羽。他衷心相信項羽寧在沙場被碎屍萬段,亦不會懦弱自殺。因為項羽是個頂天立地的男子漢,絕不會辜負虞姬的厚望。414Please respect copyright.PENANA5DFhcWw23P
