Chapter 3
This official surnamed Han was soft-spoken, and even though he had been by Xiang Yu's side for more than a year, he was not taken seriously.
Although based on that one glance, he seemed to have something extraordinary about the strong man who came with the name, but after all, he didn't know the root cause.
He wouldn't lead people to General Xiang in a blunt manner—especially in the past few days, the other party has been irritable and irritable due to the matter of entering the customs, and it is easy to touch bad luck.
So he was a little more tactful and headed towards the military tent where Fan Zeng was.
Even though he was alone in the unfamiliar Chu camp, Lu Bu was always calm and relaxed.
All he thought was that there were so many people in this camp, but there was no one he could beat.
Even if there is a disagreement, it is not difficult for him to forcibly break through and leave.
Lu Bu wanted to chat a few words with this Han Langzhong, but unexpectedly the other party not only looked indifferent, but also cherished his words when he answered, but reminded him of Gao Fuyi's sullen gourd.
"arrive."
Han Langzhong murmured, if it wasn't for Lu Bu's extraordinary ear, he wouldn't be able to hear his words to himself.
He stood proudly and said in a loud voice, "Please also announce that there is a strong man coming to vote today, with a certificate of vote, asking to see Yafu."
Yafa? Fan Zeng?
Lu Bu came back to his senses in an instant, but he didn't pick it up. If Xiang Yu couldn't see it, as long as he saw Fan Zeng, he should be able to achieve his goal.
Unexpectedly, the soldier heard their intention and immediately replied: "Yafu is not in the tent at this time, you can come later."
This is definitely not a perfunctory word: just after noon, Fan Zeng hurried out of the tent, taking the two with him, without knowing where anyone was going.
so unlucky?
Han Langzhong was quite surprised, frowned, and gave Lu Bu a slightly embarrassed look.
If Lü Bu had read the history books intensively, instead of swallowing the dates wholeheartedly, he could infer that Fan Zeng was looking for Xiangzhuang at this time, and his plan was to set up a bureau to assassinate Liu Bang during the banquet.
He only sighed about bad luck at the moment, and it was not difficult to guess what this man was hesitating about, so he grabbed the bag from his back and put it on his right palm before he opened his mouth to send him away. , a certain person is indeed devoid of long-term possessions, and this letter of appointment is mostly worthless in the eyes of others."
He nodded slightly, and gestured with his eyes to Han Langzhong, who was frowning, and tried to put his palm on the burden.
Although Han Langzhong was skeptical, he did not hesitate to follow his words and put his hand up, but his eyes changed instantly.
He joined the army for about two years, and killed many enemies with his own hands. Even if there are several layers of fabric, it is not difficult to feel the touch from the palm of the hand, which is the outline of the facial features that belongs to a person.
- This is a human head.
Lu Bu's tiger eyes kept staring at his face. After catching the slight change, he narrowed slightly and raised his lips to add, "But in General Xiang's eyes, it may be worth ten thousand gold."
Han Langzhong was silent.
"I'm sorry to lead the way."
Lu Bu spoke again without hesitation.
His self-confidence did not come from blindness, but came from careful consideration.
The reason why he misses the head of Ying Ziying is because he thinks of the deep blood feud between the Xiang family and Qin: first, the former king of Chu State, King Huai, was deceived and died in Qin; In recent years, whether it was Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan or his uncle Xiang Liang, both died in the battle against Qin.
As long as Xiang Yu is not a Buddhist cultivator who eats fast and recites sutras, then he must have an eternal hatred for the blood of the King of Qin. Compared with his heart, he also hates Liu Bei, who has cut off the last way of life that he wants to give up his face. , not to mention the sin of this age-old sin?
Han Langzhong nodded slightly, then stopped asking more questions, simply turned around, and walked towards the military tent where Xiang Yu was.
If this person is just ignorant and arrogant, General Xiang will probably not let him come out alive, and he will pay a heavy price.
What I said just now were good words and hard to persuade a ghost to die.
——If this person really has a plan, it will be even more correct to lead him to General Xiang.
In his eyes, the courage to directly ask General Zhong Xiang to meet the anger is worthy of the word 'reward'.
Fan Zeng's tent was not far from Xiang Yu's, and in silence, the two quickly came to the tent.
This time, Han Langzhong personally went in to report. Before entering, he was expressionless. When he came out, he was still expressionless. He just nodded lightly at Lu Bu: "Go in."
Lu Bu nodded generously and was about to enter when he suddenly remembered that he had never asked the other party's name.
If things go well for a while, I'm not allowed to work together for a while, so I asked casually, "Thank you, Langzhong, I wonder if someone can ask the name of the Langzhong?"
Han Langzhong obviously also thought about Xu being a colleague in the future, and tried his best to put a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Han Xin is also among the commanders of General Xiang's halberd."
As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded and left.
——As everyone knows, Lu Bu's eyes were sluggish at first, and then his mouth opened slightly.
How could he guess that this unfortunate and dejected gourd with a gray face was actually an unparalleled scholar in the history books!
As expected of the Overlord of Western Chu, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he could bump into a remarkable character casually.
Lu Bu clicked his tongue.
After all, he had once been a ruthless man who was the master of the situation: up to the prefect of the former Qin king, down to the soldiers, he had personally beheaded, and now he was thinking about taking the head of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, after the unexpected surprise, he quickly returned to his senses.
When Stride Meteor entered the account, he couldn't help but think of his own commoner. Even though he had strong martial arts skills, he had to sacrifice his face and recognize his two adoptive fathers to get ahead.
In Xiang Yu's place, famous officials and generals took the initiative to send them to the door.
——Such a strong contrast is unavoidable.
The lights in the tent were bright, and one person was sitting quietly, holding a bottle in his hand.
The bottle was half full, and the water "liquid" swayed slightly, as if groaning.
This person is at least nine feet tall, sitting upright and strikingly tall. He is not wearing battle armor, but is wearing a black brocade robe. The waist is tied with a rhinoceros belt, with gold hooks and jade embedded with eight treasures, the black cloud leopard tiger head boots, and the dragon sword hidden in the fish skin sheath.
Even if he sat quietly and didn't say a word, his neat attire didn't hide his broad shoulders and waist, stiff ribs and tendons in the slightest.
- What a mighty man!
In the Chu camp, there is such a person who can describe the temperament and the majesty of the people, and it must be the famous Western Chu overlord in the history books.
As Lu Bu approached slowly, he slowly moved his gaze up a few inches.
Xiang Yu's face was tanned by the sun for years, and brightened by candlelight. Taking a closer look at the face, the most striking thing is not the plump forehead, or the sharp eyebrows, nor the hawk-like nose and the cold pursed lips, but the pair of mysterious dark eyes.
Although it was the first time in his life to see what the 'heavy pupil' looked like, Lu Bu, who didn't care much about the man's appearance, only glanced at it and calmly looked away.
He didn't know how to praise Xiang Yu with Chinese words. After seeing Xiang Yu's appearance, the only sigh was: this person is not only tall and strong, but also looks strangely handsome.
——Thinking back then, he was not inferior.
Lu Bu felt proud, and involuntarily pushed his chest forward.
But what moved him the most was that when Xiang Yu summoned a stranger who claimed to have come to cast in the tent, he didn't even keep a guard.
Acting like this, it is obvious that he has great confidence in his own martial arts, and he is not afraid of his hidden evil intentions and intentional assassination.
The corners of Lu Bu's lips rose proudly.
——Ha, I think I was so handsome back then, wasn’t it?
Seeing that the short distance from him to the middle, he had been looking at himself almost rudely, but Xiang Yu was not angry, but just frankly swayed and let him look at it.
He had a high spirit since he was a child and wanted to learn the skill of being an enemy of ten thousand people. When he grew up, he was also extremely skilled in martial arts. No one in the army could compare with him, even Long Qie, Ying Bu and Zhong Liying, who were most admired by him. Not even his opponent at all.
However, he has always cherished handsome talents and loved soldiers.
Lv Bu looked at his young age, but he was dignified and handsome, and he was clearly a skilled trainer when he raised his hands and feet, and he immediately appreciated him.
Lu Bu leaned over and saluted, and after reporting his name, Xiang Yu, who became more and more satisfied, had basically decided to keep him.
Commoners have no characters, princes have no characters, and those who have characters are mostly scholars.
Among the old war kings and nobles, there were not many Lu surnames, but they were not rare. I just don’t know which one belonged.
He nodded slightly, motioned Lu Bu to sit down, and then asked politely, "Why did the strong man come?"
His voice was low, heavy and powerful, reaching into his ears.
"I have an undeniable feud with Liu Bang in the Han camp." Lu Bu resisted the urge to dig his ears for no reason, and after sitting down, he came straight to the point without being humble or arrogant: "But it's hard to get revenge just by being alone here. Xue hates, so I would like to do my best for General Xiang, and I would like to offer a copy of the nomination certificate, and I hope to find a half-official position in the army." It is best to have an important position that can kill Liu Bang in the vanguard.
Xiang Yu had no way of knowing what Lu Bu added in his heart.
He didn't say the specific reason for the enmity with Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu didn't ask, just nodded lightly, indicating that he knew, and moved his eyes to the cloth bag that Lu Bu had casually placed on the case in front of him: "Open it."
"Here."
Lu Bu responded, tugging at the knot on the top of the bag with a serious look.
...cannot be unlocked.
The two people in the account obviously did not expect this kind of situation.
Xiang Yu moved his gaze to Lu Bu without making a sound.
Lu Bu's face did not change his "color", he added two points of force, and then tugged again: However, it was probably because the knot was slapped indiscriminately at the beginning, and it seemed that the two times were twisted in the opposite direction, not only did it not untangle, Rather tighter.
-Fuck it!
Lu Bu secretly scolded the broken burden of dropping the chain at this critical moment, but he didn't show it at all, but when he started again, he made a six-point effort.
With a "stab" sound, the very rough and sturdy fabric was torn apart instantly by him with brute force, and because of the excessive force, Ying Ziying's head with round eyes and a grim expression bounced off for a short period of time. about to fall.
Thanks to Lu Bu's quick eyes and quick hands, he didn't let it roll to the ground, but just hooked and picked up the toe of his boot, as if he was kicking a Cuju, and immediately returned to his hand.
Luckily, it wasn't too hot, it didn't smell bad after a few days of stuffiness, and it was really impossible to smell good.
Lu Bu said solemnly: "Please ask General Xiang to take a look."
After all, it was the first time that he received a human head as his name. Xiang Yu resisted the urge to kick the stench away, slowly blinked his slightly twitching eyelids, and stared at it expressionlessly.
——It's just that although Xiang's family has a long-standing feud with Qin, he has never seen Ying Ziying with his own eyes, so he can't recognize the identity of this unfortunate ghost.
Lu Bu felt a little bit of meaning from this silence, and immediately took out the gold token he took for insurance from his arms.
He put it on his hand and explained concisely: "This is the head of Ying Ziying."
Xiang Yu exhaled.
His eyes were fixed on the gold medal for a moment, and his tone was indistinguishable: "Ying Ziying?"
Lu Bu nodded solemnly: "There is only one in the sky and the ground."
Unless Ying Ziying is more arrogant than the one who returned to more than 300 years ago after being hanged to death, he can grow a second one.
However, Xiang Yu's next reaction, for some unknown reason, made him completely unsure.
Xiang Yu stared at the token and pondered for a while, and then took a closer look at the human head, his expression seemed to be a little unbelievable, and he had doubts that didn't belong...
After pondering for a long time, Xiang Yu seemed to realize that Lü Bu was still waiting patiently, so he said, "The strong man has come from afar, and he has been busy all the way, so he must be exhausted. It is better to take a bath first."
Lu Bu himself didn't expect to get a seal on the spot, and since he was also a master, he knew that the more careful he was before this seal, the more likely the result would be as one intended.
Then he readily responded, and was led out of the military tent by someone.
As soon as the Lu Bu people left, Xiang Yu's face sank suddenly, and his eyes were full of anger, and he raised his voice: "Go, please quickly please Yafu and..." The words "uncle" had clearly reached his throat, but he was thrown into the air. He swallowed hard and stopped, "Come here to discuss this."
