Chapter 45: Cooking and Killing Han Sheng
"Myths confuse the public!"
Hearing Han Sheng's accusation, everyone present was shocked. Han Sheng had previously admonished Xiang Yu to set the capital of Xianyang, this was a good word, Xiang Yu didn't listen to it, why did he put on a hat of bewitching people.
Although everyone was puzzled, they looked at the angry Xiang Yu, but no one dared to squeak. Xiang Yu was already a little drunk before, and now he is even more angry, even fools can see it, and he must not touch this moldy head at this moment.
It's just a pity that Han Sheng is old, he just wanted to admonish Xiang Yu, but how could he get to this point. However, he is also an open-minded person, and at this moment he knows that he has no luck, but he behaves extremely calmly, without a trace of panic on his face, and looks at Xiang Yu coldly.
Just because of Han Sheng's courage, Zhang Han couldn't help but secretly shout hello for him, he still hoped that Xiang Yu could spare Han Sheng, if he could recruit Han Sheng to his command, it would definitely be a rare help.
The kings also whispered, feeling that Han Tan was just admonishing, even if Xiang Yu refused to listen, he would not be guilty of him, and it was a little inexplicable to arrest him now.
Just when everyone was extremely suspicious, Xiang Yu finally spoke, he calmed his face and asked in a suppressed angry voice: "Old thief, I have been very respectful to you just now, and there has never been the slightest rudeness, why did you slander me among outsiders after leaving the camp?" ”
Hearing Xiang Yu's questioning, everyone realized that it was Han Sheng who spoke disrespectfully to Xiang Yu, and he was arrested.
Looking at Xiang Yu's face, everyone sweated for Han Sheng. Xiang Yu's strength is not large, since Han Sheng has insulted him and been arrested again, how can he deny it, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
But to everyone's surprise, in the face of Xiang Yu's aggressive questioning, Han Sheng still looked calm, and he laughed and said: "I thought that the Xiang family was the hero of the world, so he came to Guanzhong to offer advice. I heard the proverb that the Chu people were crowned by monkeys, and today they really tested each other, and I realized that this statement is true. ”
As soon as Han Sheng's words came out, everyone was shocked. Mu Monkey and crown, this is clearly satirizing Xiang Yu's short-sightedness. Xiang Yu's face turned red, and he couldn't help but roar angrily, and the sound shook half the camp, and the princes were afraid.
Since Xiang Yu started the army, he has been broken, and he has been subdued, when has he been so insulted. At this time, he was so insulted before the kings, Xiang Yu was so angry that his heart and lungs were about to explode under the stimulation of alcohol.
"Left and right, take down this old thief for me, strip off his clothes, and put him in a frying pan!"
He looked at Han Sheng, his eyes were split, and he wanted to eat his flesh and eat his blood, so he opened his mouth to say cruel words, wanting his subordinates to punish Han Sheng severely.
"This ......"
When the soldiers heard Han Sheng insulting King Xiang, they were naturally full of anger, and they wanted to immediately push him out of the tent and behead him. But when they heard Xiang Yu's order, the soldiers were still stunned, their eyes widened one by one, and they looked at their companions next to them in disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.
"Didn't you hear me telling you to throw the thief into the oil pot!" Xiang Yu saw the soldiers standing in place, indifferent, and couldn't help but be even more angry, and loudly reprimanded his subordinates.
"Yes...... Yes, yes. ”
Only then did the soldiers react, looking at the angry look on King Xiang's face, they didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly responded. Although the soldiers no longer hesitated, everyone could hear the trembling in their words.
Not only did the soldiers unexpected, but even everyone present did not have their previous calmness after hearing that Xiang Yu was going to cook and kill Han Sheng.
Although the kings have been in battle for a long time, and there are many dead souls under their hands, they have never been so cruel. Now seeing that this tragedy is about to be staged, many generals have become restless.
After the soldiers answered the order, they immediately began to move, and in a few moments, the oil pot was set up, and it was placed in the middle of the big tent, and the flames were blazing, and everyone's faces were very strange.
The soldiers set up oil pots and lit fires in the field, and none of the kings present spoke, and everyone was silent, watching the soldiers of the Chu army busy before and after. Everybody's face was pale, as if they had seen a ghost.
Han Sheng obviously didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so frustrated, he stood in the middle, his hands tied behind his back by the soldiers, and he looked at Xiang Yu with a dull gaze. At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance just now, but his face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so ruthless.
Except for the soldiers who walked back and forth, carrying firewood and burning fires, the rest of the people seemed to be frozen, and everyone looked lost and depressed, without the slightest movement, without the slightest words, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, and now the sky outside the tent had darkened, but inside the tent was reflected as day by the raging fire, and the pale faces of the people were painted waxy.
The barracks were lit up, and there was a burst of laughter on the playground in the distance. They were tired from a long day's work, and at last they were able to go back to rest, and they were in a very good mood, and they did not think that a terrible scene was about to take place in the tent not far away.
Under the urging of the fire, the oil pot made a boiling sound, and the sound of "Zizi" reached everyone's ears, like a ghostly sound, which made people shudder.
"King, the oil pot has boiled......"
The soldier stepped forward to report, breaking the deathly silence.
"Throw this old thief into the oil pot!" Xiang Yu's anger did not decrease, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the final order.
"Yes!"
The soldier simply stopped thinking too much and gritted his teeth and agreed. The two soldiers firmly tied Han Sheng's hands, while the rest of the soldiers stripped off Han Sheng's clothes, and when Han Sheng was naked and a stick, all the soldiers were heartbroken, lifted Han Sheng, and walked towards the oil pot.
"Ahh Xiang Yu'er, your cruelty is worse than that of the old man, although the old man dies today, you will definitely not die well in the future......"
Han Sheng finally reacted, and he also realized that he had no hope of survival, and there was no way out except to be tortured, so he simply put down everything and scolded Xiang Yu.
"What are you still hesitating about?" Hearing Han Sheng's humiliation, Xiang Yu was even more angry, and shouted angrily, urging his subordinates to do it.
Several soldiers glanced at each other, and without hesitation, they threw Han Sheng's body into the oil pot with all their hands.
"Ting-la-" In an instant, a screeching sound came from the oil pan.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Han Sheng couldn't care about insulting Xiang Yu anymore, there were only bursts of screams from his mouth, and along with his screams, a tooth-sour "zizi" sound sounded in the oil pot, and occasionally there were bursts of scorching smell.
Zhang Han watched this scene, his whole body trembled involuntarily, his body was extremely cold, but his forehead was covered with hot sweat, like a swing, and his body was completely out of control.
Although Han Sheng was in great pain and screamed repeatedly, after all, his limbs were injured and he didn't die quickly, so he struggled for a moment and couldn't help but faint.
Except for Zhang Han, the rest of the princes were also full of panic, their bodies trembled, and they almost wanted to sit down. Looking at Xiang Yu's gaze, it was as if he had seen a ghost, without the previous courtesy, some were just afraid and timid.
When Han Sheng woke up slowly, he began to scream again, Zhang Han couldn't stand it anymore, resolutely stood up, and staggered out.
As soon as he came out of the tent, he sat down on the ground and began to vomit uncontrollably. Just a moment ago, Han Sheng was still standing in front of him, but at this moment, he was almost a ball of charcoal.
Zhang Han thought that he had seen the sinister nature of the human heart, but he didn't expect that human nature could be cruel to this point, Xiang Yu at this moment, where is there a little benevolence and righteousness at all, it is clearly a demon in human skin.
Facing such an enemy, Zhang Han's heart couldn't help but have a question at this moment - can he really survive to the end in such a world?
Before coming to the play, Zhang Han's answer must be yes, and he is also full of confidence. At that time, he had just been subordinated to the hearts of the people of Xianyang, and he had incorporated the bandits in Guanzhong, so he naturally felt that it was not impossible to dominate the world.
But now, after experiencing being cheated by Sima Xin before, and then witnessing Han Sheng being cooked just now, Zhang Han's heart was filled with a trace of unreality, and he finally realized that surviving in this world was far from being as simple as he imagined before.
Zhang Han sadly found that he would never be able to integrate into this world, although there were many princes who were afraid just now, he was the only one who got up and escaped from the camp. Maybe it's the difference of the times, the difference in concepts, or maybe it's simply because of his limited ability to bear it, Zhang Han knows that he must have become an alternative among the kings.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness, he thought a lot, but as if he didn't think about anything, everything was a blur, and the whole world became unreal in his eyes.
Han Sheng's figure kept appearing in front of his eyes, sometimes it was the old man with white hair, sometimes it was a cloud of pitch-black charcoal, Zhang Han opened his mouth in fear, but he couldn't make a sound......
The soldiers guarding outside the camp looked at Zhang Han in amazement, they knew that this was the famous King Yong, but no one thought that at this moment he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog. No one dared to come forward to ask, and no one dared to approach him.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Han finally regained consciousness, he felt that someone was talking next to him, and when he opened his eyes, the people around him were Han Wangcheng and Zhang Ping.
It turned out that after Han Sheng was executed, Xiang Yu had no intention of having another banquet, and everyone didn't want to stay any longer, so they left one after another.
Outside the tent, everyone found the lost soul of Zhang Han, but everyone frowned, hurriedly left this ghost place, and chose to ignore Zhang Han. And Han Wangcheng had a good conversation before, and he could be regarded as having a friendship with Zhang Han, so he helped him to the place where he received visitors at the beginning.
At this time, Zhang Ping was already waiting outside, and when he saw Zhang Han's appearance, he couldn't help but be anxious.
"King Han, what's going on! My eldest brother changed well when he went in, why did he become like this now? ”
"Alas, don't ask any more about today's business. Unexpectedly, King Yong's conquest of the world, his heart has not hardened at all, you will take King Yong back, so that you can recuperate. ”
These were the only two words Zhang Han heard, and then, his consciousness blurred again.
(Let me first state that cooking and killing Han Sheng is a real thing, I didn't make it up, as for interspersing personal feelings, I am this style, book friends, don't say that I tampered with history.) This plot is what I've thought about for a long time, what the protagonist thinks, and what I think, I don't mean Hei Xiang Yu, it's just a simple narrative to promote the development of the story. )
