Chapter 179: Xiang Zhuang Dancing the Sword

Fan Zeng's wrist was grabbed and he immediately stared at Zhang Liang coldly. He wanted to get rid of Zhang Liang's grip, but his strength was not enough.

While Zhang Liang grabbed Fan Zeng's wrist, his index finger pressed against the back of his hand, so that he could not backhand Liangyu.

Xiang Yu lived next to Fan Zeng, and when he saw Fan Zeng being controlled, he became angry. was about to get up and hit Zhang Liang, but was suddenly stopped by Xiang Bo's voice.

"Ovary! What are you going to do? How can you offend the military advisor? I know you like jade, but you can't be so anxious. The military advisor is not a stingy person, so how can he not let you watch it. ”

Hearing Xiang Bo's words, Zhang Liangcai slowly let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Old Fan, forgive me, I do have very poor self-control when it comes to jade. ”

At this time, everyone's eyes focused on the two of them, and the four sheep carrying the dead stared at Fan Zeng's hand tightly.

Fan Zeng heard Zhang Liang's words and knew that he had insight into his intentions. Now if you want to do it again, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hit with one hit. After pondering for a few times, he had to say with a smile: "Since you like the ovary, then take it." After speaking, he handed Yu Jue to Zhang Liang.

As soon as the dead man saw Fan Zeng's move, he immediately fell into confusion. Just because Fan Zeng once said, he took the jade as the number and assassinated Zhang and Liu. But now Fan Zeng gave Yu Jue to the person to be assassinated, and they didn't know what it meant.

Zhang Liang took the jade jue and played with it, and then saw the four sheep bearers standing still in the hall. He immediately said: "You can go down, today's feast, I am willing to personally divide this sheep for Emperor Yi and the princes and generals." “

Emperor Yi heard that Zhang Liang wanted to take matters into his own hands, and then motioned for the four subordinates to retreat. The four of them immediately glanced at Fan Zeng, as if waiting for the other party to give an order.

Seeing that this plan was no longer effective, Fan Zeng quickly nodded lightly and let the four of them leave.

After the four of them retreated, Zhang Liang first turned around and returned the jade to Fan Zeng, and at the same time said: "Thank you to the military advisor, it's just that this jade is too precious and I dare not hold it for a long time. ”

Fan Zeng saw Zhang Liang return the jade, so he slowly took it with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Jade, what is precious, it is just the old man's carrying. I just heard that the ovary wants to divide the mutton personally, I wonder if you have figured out how to distribute it? ”

After listening to Fan Zeng's words, everyone present looked at Zhang Liang one after another. Because Fan Zeng's words are hidden mysteries, those who have a heart will know it when they hear it. The original intention of this was to ask Zhang Liang whether he would do what this person did, but in fact, it was to ask Zhang Liang if he understood how the world should be divided.

Zhang Liang did not show crampedness and uneasiness in the face of Fan Zeng's questioning. I saw him full of confidence and said to everyone: "The head of the sheep is the head, and it is natural to worship the sky." The legs and torso should be cut in fine pieces and divided among the all. I wonder what the military advisor thinks? “

Fan Zeng seemed to have expected Zhang Liang's distribution method, only to see him smile slightly, and then said coldly: "In this way, isn't it the same as Emperor Yi and you." Ovary, you're bad at etiquette. ”

Everyone had no objection to Zhang Liang's distribution method, but when they heard Fan Zeng's words, they felt that something was wrong. Zhang Liang's method of distribution is purely in terms of sharing mutton, and deliberately avoids the meaning of distributing the world in Fan Zeng's previous words. never thought that Fan Zeng would combine Zhang Liang's distribution method with the etiquette method, which made everyone pinch a cold sweat for Zhang Liang.

When Zhang Liang heard the other party threaten to break the etiquette, he immediately stepped forward to cut off the sheep's head, and then put his hands in front of Emperor Yi. "The head of the sheep is enshrined in the sky, and the righteous emperor is the son of heaven. Naturally, please accept it on your Majesty's behalf! ”

When the princes heard Zhang Liang's words, they secretly praised in their hearts. In just a few words, the crisis is invisible. Even Fan Zeng couldn't fault his way of coping.

Liu Bang had already been at a loss when he saw Fan Zeng making things difficult for Zhang Liang before, but when he saw Zhang Liang resolve the crisis, he let go of the big stone in his heart.

After Zhang Liang finished serving the head of the sheep, he immediately turned around and prepared to cut the mutton. Just as he was about to go under the knife, he suddenly got up and asked Liu Bang, "Pei Gong, do you like to eat mutton?" ”

Liu Banggang relaxed his vigilance because Zhang Liang got out of the crisis, and suddenly heard Zhang Liang's question, and took it easy. After pondering for a while, I secretly thought in my heart: In this world, meat is mainly pigs, cattle and sheep, and this mutton is the best in meat. I naturally like it. But he knew that Zhang Liang would not ask this question for no reason. After pondering for a long time, he came to his senses. He replied, "I naturally like mutton, but I can't eat its essence. Eating meat does not taste good, and it only adds to the body, it is better to give up this taste, so as not to be violent and heavenly things. You don't have to count my share in the ovary. ”

Liu Bang's words shocked everyone. Even Xiang Yu looked at him in surprise. Zhang Liang's question and Liu Bang's answer can be regarded as a love for meat, and it can also be seen as Liu Bang's renunciation of the right to divide the world. If you really want to discuss it in detail, I am afraid that Liu Bang's words can be used as the basis for his reluctance to divide the seal.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Emperor Yi's heart immediately trembled. He saw that Liu Bang was taking the initiative to back down, and hurriedly said: "General Liu is afraid that it is really rare to send heavenly things violently, but if you don't eat it, you will never know its essence." Let's share some of it. ”

Zhang Liang sincerely admired Liu Bang's answer, the other party not only understood his intentions, but also answered very decently. After hearing that Emperor Yi insisted on Liu Bang to share the food, Fang Cai said: "Yes, Pei Gong! Now that Your Majesty has spoken, you can taste a little. ”

Liu Bang saw that Zhang Liang also let him share the food, and immediately got up to worship Emperor Xie Yi.

Xiang Yu saw that Emperor Yi still had the heart to favor Liu Bang, and his heart was suddenly unhappy. He looked sideways at Fan Zeng, as if asking him for advice.

Fan Zeng constantly examined the changes in the situation, and after a while, he excused himself to go out. At the same time, he motioned Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang to come out with him.

After Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang came out of the big tent, he said eagerly: "Xiang Zhuang, I see that Liu Bang has already retreated, but whether he retreats or not, we can't keep him." And that ovary, which is going to take his life tonight. ”

Hearing that Fan Zeng was going to take the lives of the two of them, and remembering the strangeness of the banquet just now, Xiang Zhuang immediately asked: "Military advisor, could it be that the matter of Yujue just now is that you want to assassinate the two of them." “

Fan Zeng immediately nodded in response, and at the same time sighed: "It's a pity that the success fell short, I think it was the second general who informed the other party of my plan, and the sub-room would be on guard." ”

Hearing that it was Uncle Xiang who did it, Xiang Zhuang immediately exclaimed: "How could Father Ji help the enemy?!" ”

"The second general is a man who values righteousness, and that Zhang Zifang saved his life. Naturally, he will help him. Fan Zeng replied helplessly.

Knowing that Zhang Liang had saved Uncle Xiang, Xiang Zhuang was relieved. Seeing that Xiang Zhuang already knew the whole story, Fan Zeng continued: "Xiang Zhuang, now only you can complete this task." ”

When Xiang Zhuang heard that he was going to take the lives of Liu Bang and Zhang Liang by himself, he immediately clenched his fists and replied: "Father Ya just orders, how do you want Xiang Zhuang to do it?" ”

Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Zhuang, who was full of confidence, and said: "Liu Bang and that ovary sit separately, and it is not easy to take the lives of both of them at once." And Liu Bang has Fan Hao by his side, and it may be difficult to succeed in one blow. Later, after you enter the account, in the name of sword dance, and then take Zhang Zifang's life. As for Liu Bang, as long as Zhang Zifang dies, I have my own way to let him stay in this Hongmen. ”

Xiang Zhuang listened to Fan Zeng's instructions and went down to prepare.

After Fan Zeng re-entered the account, Zhang Liang had already divided the mutton. Seeing Fan Zeng's return to the table, Zhang Liang immediately said: "Fan Lao, eat it while it's hot, if it's old, you won't be able to chew it." “

Zhang Liang pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, talking about meat in the open, but in fact, he alluded to Fan Zengren's old age. But Fan Zeng is the only one who knows it in his heart, but he is always serious after all, and he doesn't care about Zhang Liang's sarcasm.

Just as everyone was sharing the meat, suddenly Xiang Zhuang stepped into the tent with a sword. Without waiting to come forward, he knelt on the ground and showed great respect for Emperor Yi.

"Your Majesty, the villain is the general's cousin, named Xiang Zhuang. Seeing that there was no joy during the banquet, Mao recommended himself and wanted to dance the sword to help the fun. I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission. ”

When Emperor Yi heard that the other party was Xiang Yu's cousin, he immediately looked at Xiang Yu.

As soon as Xiang Yu saw Xiang Zhuang enter with a sword, he immediately knew that it was instructed by the military advisor. Seeing Emperor Yi looking at him, he replied with his fists folded: "Your Majesty, this person is indeed the cousin of the last general, and because of his meritorious service in resisting Qin, he made him a minister and guard." Although his martial arts are mediocre, he can dance a good sword. Today's sudden dance, I think I also hope that His Majesty will pay attention to him. Let His Majesty laugh. ”

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Emperor Yi immediately said with a smile: "Since he is the general's cousin, and he also dances with a good sword, then he can naturally dance for a while." After finishing speaking, Emperor Yi turned to Xiang Zhuang and said: "Xiang Zhuang, you dance immediately, if you dance well, I will have a reward!" ”

Xiang Zhuang received the permission of Emperor Yi, and immediately bowed down to thank him, then got up and drew his sword, and danced.

When Zhang Liang heard Emperor Yi's promise, he suddenly cried out in his heart. In his memory, the Hongmen Banquet did exist, but now this Hongmen Banquet is very different from what history mentions. I thought that everything had changed, but I never thought that Xiang Zhuang Wujian actually appeared. In history, Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong! At this time, Xiang Zhuang's appearance made Zhang Liang's heart completely hang on his lips. He kept looking at Liu Bang, trying to remind the other party to be careful. But at this time, Liu Bang really appreciated the sword dance, and he was so fascinated that he didn't notice the anxious Zhang Liang.

Xiang Zhuang moved his sword up, and every move was quite masculine at every moment. When everyone saw the excitement, they all applauded loudly, and even Emperor Yi couldn't help but praise Xiang Yu a few words.

"General Xiang, Brother Ling is indeed as you say, he dances with a good sword. I think he will be knighted as a marquis, what do you think? ”

When Xiang Yu heard that Emperor Yi wanted to make his cousin a marquis, he immediately hugged his fists and replied: "The last general has thanked Your Majesty on behalf of his minister." ”

Just when Emperor Yi and Xiang Yu were discussing the sealing, Xiang Zhuang accompanied the dance steps and approached Zhang Liang little by little. Everyone was attracted by his vigorous sword posture at this time, and they didn't notice that there was murderous aura in his eyes at all.

Zhang Liang was still staring at Liu Bang, still trying to get the other party's attention. Just when he finally met Liu Bang's eyes, he suddenly sensed the danger. Because Liu Bang's gaze followed Xiang Zhuang to himself.

When Zhang Liang looked up at Xiang Zhuang, he saw that the sword in the opponent's hand swept across the air with lightning speed, and the target was his throat.

This sword has the potential of a thunderbolt; The power of landslides and tsunamis. Xiang Zhuang seemed to use all his strength and swept towards Zhang Liang. Poor Zhang Liang has been worried about Liu Bang, but he never thought that the other party's target would be himself, and it was too late to wake up.

Zhang Liang, who had no time to retreat, had to regret in his heart at this time: Wipe! Hitting geese makes geese peck their eyes! Injustice! (To be continued.) )
