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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAS3aJNhkrnw
264Please respect copyright.PENANAEUMzmZO11u
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANALTv9GUKc4w
264Please respect copyright.PENANAjPCjfMasw0
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAjFpfKb5Noj
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhXLmusndLL
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAEVIVKTw6lc
264Please respect copyright.PENANADBFRlzCGkx
「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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAnQCePGQpxV
264Please respect copyright.PENANAS74iF9K5Tw
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAroJDPHriKy
264Please respect copyright.PENANAn2Yu6yl7tb
「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!264Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tp8EnDTmK
264Please respect copyright.PENANAI4zaArwVJu
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍,苦笑續杯。264Please respect copyright.PENANAGB2sxLq6tB
264Please respect copyright.PENANAzCeOi7PbrS
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANApR03RXC0yJ
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXU5QD1I4S9
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAxALVzqaTcN
264Please respect copyright.PENANA6x4y0IWZEm
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……264Please respect copyright.PENANANTPQrTGuNM
264Please respect copyright.PENANAuBXXo9vwq6
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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAUtOMNTzaaP
264Please respect copyright.PENANAgKzZLj8wTp
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢,全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。264Please respect copyright.PENANAKaafqjvkYa
264Please respect copyright.PENANAoZyMn923Em
「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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANA8wOLlugUXj
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1U34znpFIp
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANA5cCkwZpiDH
264Please respect copyright.PENANA3DzOKLiYLB
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信,衝口而出直道心裡疑問。264Please respect copyright.PENANAazvvp4kpgi
264Please respect copyright.PENANAryxkdr2iH2
「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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAiLuSgUU2Ne
264Please respect copyright.PENANALJodHPbdE9
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAamzFuRhFd5
264Please respect copyright.PENANAF62FlTfjZg
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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAnlDE3dYtm8
264Please respect copyright.PENANAWrRVBNONB7
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAsA0LSlhkLD
264Please respect copyright.PENANADTlCICvqo1
「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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAWYhNNNgg3v
264Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ny38hulOx
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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAtokpKMBdkp
264Please respect copyright.PENANAUIHDuGCkBd
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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANADp3S8YM9kd
264Please respect copyright.PENANAS087SuvGcb
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!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAW78xC05slf
264Please respect copyright.PENANAGlQl0pAzds
「好!妙極!」項羽破涕為笑,擊節讚賞。264Please respect copyright.PENANAEMncsVKCnO
264Please respect copyright.PENANAU93aV9CPfM
虞姬感動又感激,帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。264Please respect copyright.PENANAlRuuWbYneC
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhKUQ1C8gIU
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!」264Please respect copyright.PENANACWL66it6lR
264Please respect copyright.PENANANACpenGC5c
曲盡,舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱:「漢兵已略地,四面楚歌聲。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAo7e2hiqr6m
264Please respect copyright.PENANAiT9DhBwJ6o
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAr0TqztwCe3
264Please respect copyright.PENANAClhSo7pce8
「大王意氣盡,賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆,雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。264Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1bAGF0NSn
264Please respect copyright.PENANACsaq9Y13DX
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAd1usGdOQLQ
264Please respect copyright.PENANADdUvmxup55
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!264Please respect copyright.PENANANDjDRkllvB
264Please respect copyright.PENANAYTibO75NxC
「朕的子民,跟朕殺出重圍!」264Please respect copyright.PENANA4e8PbVSAg1
264Please respect copyright.PENANAAy9yP4PkQe
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。264Please respect copyright.PENANA7kHzFu9Jie
264Please respect copyright.PENANA0pRxOvewtX
「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。264Please respect copyright.PENANAsSDCUdjpFB
264Please respect copyright.PENANARZjGHKTOxo
「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。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1Qlka3qc
264Please respect copyright.PENANAKBCzhoUP5C
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!」264Please respect copyright.PENANA9idSAtyWAh
264Please respect copyright.PENANAaYkLojVXUX
「大王!」大漢受寵若驚,下跪叩首:「在下定必不負聖望!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Rp07UlZ6
