Chapter 37: The Covenant of Heroes

Although Han Xin's voice was not loud, it revealed a sense of perseverance.

He stepped forward slowly, meeting everyone's gaze, surprised, angry, and disdainful. Han Xin's face still had a faint smile on his face, and he met Xiang Yu's sharp gaze.

"Big brother, it's me."

Xiang Yu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was about to crack, and with a 'sonorous' saber out of the sheath, he pointed at Han Xin from afar, and laughed wildly a few times in the sky, but the laughter was full of anger.

"It's you, you're really my good brother."

Han Xin looked at the knife pointed at him, his face was still calm: "That's right, it's me." ”

"Big brother, I admire you very much, in my Han Xin's heart, no one has ever been as respected by me as you. I was so impressed by your heroism that I was willing to follow you even if it cost me my life. “

"But......" Han Xin's face suddenly tightened, his eyes looked at Shang Xiang Yu firmly, and said slowly;" But I will never give up on the woman I love because I admire you. I'm not sorry for you, Miao Yi and I have promised each other for life before we met you. ”

Xiang Yu's eyes were like knives, his expression was hideous, where could he listen to what Han Xin said, and he only felt that his self-esteem had been insulted like never before.

His Xiang Yu's woman actually fell in love with someone else.

"If you want to rob my Xiang Yu woman, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

"Han Xin, dare to fight me."

Han Xin did not flinch, raised his head and took a step forward, the fish intestines were unsheathed, and he said loudly to Xiang Yu: "Why don't you dare." ”

There is a small martial arts arena in the backyard garden of the Yu family, which is usually used for Yu Ziqi and a group of generals to practice martial arts. The servants had already lit bonfires and torches, and the martial arts arena was like daylight.

A banquet that was originally happy turned into a duel for the beloved woman in the blink of an eye. None of the nearly 100 guests left, all gathered around the martial arts arena, pointing at Xiang Yu and Han Xin in the middle. Compared to Xiang Yu, almost no one was optimistic about this handsome and thin young man.

Xiang Yu and they know each other very well, and they are born with superb divine power and martial arts, but most people have never heard of this Han Xin, and only a few close relatives of the Yu family who participated in the family banquet of the Yu Mansion last time have seen his wonderful swordsmanship.

Long He stepped forward, untied his spear and handed it over: "Brother Yu, let's use my weapon first." ”

He knew that Xiang Yu was good at using spears and halberds, while Han Xin was referring to using swords. One point is short and one point is dangerous, if Xiang Yu uses a spear, then Han Xin basically has no chance.

Xiang Yu shook his head and said proudly; "You underestimate my Xiang Yu too much. I Xiang Yu kills people, why do I need to use the advantage of weapons. ”

After speaking, a hint of fierceness flashed in his gaze when he looked at Han Xin.

"Be careful, Han Shin."

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yu changed like a feather arrow off the string, with an unstoppable momentum, and the knife in his hand slashed towards Han Xin.

Seeing that he was menacing, Han Xin knew that his strength was far superior to his own, so he made up his mind not to confront Xiang Yu, but just used his body to wander around, waiting for an opportunity to find his flaws again.

Xiang Yu had already guessed his thoughts, and during this time, he and Han Xin often clashed, so he naturally knew that his swordsmanship was flexible and treacherous. The knife in his hand was a knife that was fast, and he was so fast that Han Xin had no time to get out, so he had to swing his sword and collide with him.

Xiang Yu usually only fights with Han Xin, but this time he really made a killing move, ten percent of his strength, coupled with his fierce momentum, forced Han Xin to just parry but had no power to fight back. Han Xin also seemed to be completely suppressed by Xiang Yu's aggressive momentum, gritting his teeth and fighting hard with Xiang Yu sword by sword, with only one thought in his heart: I must not lose, I must not.

On the field, Xiang Yu and Han Xin are still entangled, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiang Yu has gained the upper hand, and Han Xin is just fighting hard to hold on and not lose. Yu Miaoyi, who was not far away, looked at Han Xin working hard for her, her eyes were full of tears, and she bit her lip vigorously, for fear that she couldn't help but open her mouth to intercede for Han Xin.

She knew that it was a duel about the dignity of men. There are some things that are far more important than life, even if Han Xin saves his life because of his intercession, he will look down on himself for the rest of his life. Therefore, Han Xin is desperately holding on, instead of throwing his sword and admitting defeat.

Some things can be compromised, and sometimes they can be humiliated, but there are some things that are worth defending with your life.

The big husband has something to do, and he can't do it.

On the opposite side of Xiang Yu's stormy attack, Han Xin has reached the end of the crossbow. He originally thought that even if his martial arts were not as good as Xiang Yu, they were not far behind, and relying on his own little cleverness, it might not be impossible to win.

But he didn't expect that Xiang Yu, who was angry, not only did not show his flaws, but became more and more courageous, and he really deserved the title of 'Little Overlord', full of domineering. Even if he lost the opportunity to counterattack, he just mechanically swung his sword to block with his blade, but there was no way but to grit his teeth and hold on.

For the first time, Han Xin felt that he was so weak, and in front of Xiang Yu, facing his knife technique with a fierce slash, a sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart. Xiang Yu's sharp knife technique hurt not only his body, but also his proud self-esteem.

He always thought that he Han Xin was the best among people, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and no one in the world could compare with him. Even Xiang Yu, who admires, is just from a better background than him, and if he is replaced by Han Xin, he will definitely do no worse than Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu's aggressiveness stabbed Han Xin's deepest self-esteem, and he roared, his eyes red. The fish intestine blocked the heavy knife fiercely, and rushed forward, his body was as fast as lightning, and he rushed towards Xiang Yu with the momentum of seeing death as home.

Han Xin was desperate, but Xiang Yu was not afraid, but his eyes showed excitement, and he yelled: "It's a good time." The body rushed forward with the knife.

'Scandium', the sword and the knife slammed together, and the huge force forced Han Xin to take more than a dozen steps back to stop Xiang Yu's pressure, the corners of his mouth and nose were already overflowing with blood, his face was terrifying, and his convulsions were terrible.

Xiang Yu thought about pressing forward, and the fish intestines were suppressed and bent to the extreme arc, and the weight of the blade was almost attached to Han Xin's face. Xiang Yu roared; "Han Xin, do you admit defeat or not?"

Han Xin only felt that his chest and shoulders were as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't breathe out of breath. His chest was on fire, and he had already suffered severe internal injuries. He opened his mouth and exhaled desperately, and struggled to resist, his head was blank, and his ears kept ringing, until he heard a voice shouting repeatedly in his ear; "You can't admit defeat, you can't admit defeat."

Han Xin gritted his teeth and said two words with difficulty: "No...... ...... Down"

Xiang Yu's eyes swelled with murderous intent, and he laughed wildly: "Okay...... Good. After speaking, the big knife slashed more than ten times as fast as a swift wind, and the knives all slashed at Han Xinjian's body. Finally, Han Xin couldn't help but spew out a mouthful of blood and leaned back.

"Ask again, Han Xin, will you descend."

Han Xin just gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and tried hard to clench the fish intestines in his hand.

Xiang Yu saw that his face was like white paper, and the hand holding the sword was already trembling slightly, but he still stood up straight to fight. His mind gradually cleared up, and Han Xin really didn't do anything to be sorry for him. On the contrary, if Han Xin gave up his beloved woman for the sake of future wealth, such a talent would make Xiang Yu disdainful.

Thinking of this, most of the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he remembered the time he had spent with Han Xin during this time, but the knife that had been raised high couldn't be wielded.

Putting away the knife and taking a step back, Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin and said coldly; "Han Xin, you have already lost this game, do you still have the courage to fight in the next two games."

Han Xin had already held his mind at this time, and was waiting for Xiang Yu to come to attack, when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a trembling voice in disbelief; "You're saying there's still two rounds to play."

"When will what I Xiang Yu say not count." Xiang Yu raised his head and said proudly; "If you lose the next game, then you really don't have a chance, I want you to swear that you will never play a good idea in your life."

Han Xin took a deep breath and stood up straight, thinking in his heart that if he persevered, it would definitely be a dead end, since Xiang Yu also said that there were still two games to play, according to his temperament, he would definitely not deliberately come up with some test questions that he was not good at to take advantage of Han Xin, and if he persisted, there may be no hope of winning. As for the oath, hmph, do you think a person in the 21st century would believe in the oath that 'five thunders in the sky will not die well'?

He nodded and said; "Okay, I'll fight." After speaking, regardless of the eyes of the people next to him, he sat on the ground and breathed for a while, forcibly suppressing the injury.

Xiang Yu didn't urge, and waited patiently for him to stand up after adjusting his breathing, and then said; "I heard Shanwu say that you are good at archery, so I'll give you a chance."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take a long snatch from Long He, weighed it in his hand, slammed his feet to the ground, shouted, and threw the spear out, only to hear a 'boom', and a puff of smoke and dust rose from the door of the building a hundred steps away, and the spear was deeply inserted into the parapet wall of the outer courtyard of Yufu.

Xiang Yu turned his head and looked directly at Han Xin, "If you can shoot an inch above my spear from here, you will win this competition." ”

There was a commotion among the people around, from Han Xin's seat to the door of the building, it was a full three hundred steps, and it was night, and the target that could shoot fifty steps away was already a divine archer, how could it be possible to meet Xiang Yu's requirements.

Seeing Han Xin nodded slowly, he took the hard bow handed over by the Yu family's servant, and tried the bowstring, frowning slightly.

Xiang Yu guessed his thoughts, and shouted loudly; "Child, bring your bow." Yu Ziqi was stunned for a moment, so he called his family to fetch his treasure bow, and handed it to Han Xin with a somewhat complicated expression.

After Han Xin took it, he lowered his head and whispered thanks. I only felt that the big bow in my hand was slightly heavy, but it was a hard bow with a vermilion tire, and I tried it open, and it was a good bow. I was slightly grateful in my heart, thinking that my eldest brother was really a hero who stood up to the sky, and even at this time, he didn't want to take any advantage.

He took out the feather arrow and rested it on the string, closed his eyes and took a long breath, suppressing the churning of qi and blood in his chest. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were already clear, his pupils swelled, and he left the string with a 'whoosh'.

I saw that the feather arrow was castrated and urgent, cutting through the sky like a meteor, and shot at the top of the spear with great precision. But I heard everyone's regret, it turned out that although the arrow was shot, it was only shallowly inserted into the parapet, and the arrow feather shook several times, and it actually fell.

Han Xin's face turned pale, although he was under strong pressure from his injuries, he was too seriously injured and lacked strength.

Seeing such a situation, Yu Qi on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said quickly: "Han Xin, you have already lost, I hope you will keep your promise and stop pestering the little girl." Han Xin ignored him, just looked at the feather arrow in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Xiang Yu suddenly waved his hand and stopped Yu Qi. Although Yu Qin was Xiang Yu's elder, he was swept away by Xiang Yu's gaze, and he involuntarily retreated without speaking.

"I lost this game." Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin calmly, "You are only seriously injured and you are not strong, and you have already won in archery." ”

"I, Xiang Yu, am no one, losing is losing, and I will never deny it. Han Xin, you won this game. ”

Han Xin was overjoyed, and there was no resentment towards Xiang Yu in his heart, so he covered his injuries and said; "Big brother, what are we going to try in the third game."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu shook his head, and there was something strange in his eyes.

"I didn't think about it because I didn't think I'd lose, so I didn't think about playing the third game against you."

Han Xin's heart suddenly moved, and a thought flashed through him, it seems that it is impossible to take Yu Miaoyi away today, it is better to delay time. Then he said in a deep voice; "Big brother, I know you have great ambitions, and sooner or later this great country will be the prey you are chasing, why don't we compete with the 'hero'?"

"Oh", Xiang Yu really showed an interested look, "How to compete." ”

"We have a three-year period, if after three years I am still a nobody, and I can't compare with my eldest brother, then I, Han Xin, swear that I will no longer have the luxury of Miaoyi in this life. If after three years, I can achieve no less than the fame of my eldest brother, or defeat you on the battlefield. Then Miao Yi justifiably married me Han Xin, can the eldest brother dare to fight? ”

Xiang Yu was really stimulated and promised loudly; "Okay, let's take three years." Ji Bu behind Xiang Yu frowned slightly, he had already seen that Han Xin was really provoking Xiang Yu in order to delay time, so he wanted to remind him, but when he heard that Xiang Yu had already promised, he had to swallow the words in his mouth helplessly.

Xiang Yu thought of something again, and his face was hesitant, "It's just that I am far superior to you in terms of background and power, so it's not fair to you." ”

Han is confident and proud, and he says; "In the past, Bai Qi and Li Mu were not a cloth cloth, and their achievements were small? Big brother, you are too underestimated to be the heroes of the world. ”

"Okay, we'll make up our minds." The two of them clapped their hands and swore an oath.

Han Xin limped away covering his wounds, and the servant next to him wanted to reach out to help him, but Han Xin pushed him away, just gritted his teeth, and slowly dragged his injured body out of Yufu without looking back.

He really wanted to look back at Yu Miaoyi, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that as soon as he turned around, the oath he had just made and the bold words he said would be in vain. So from the martial arts arena to the gate of the building, until he disappeared from everyone's sight, Han Xin never looked back.

For a lifetime, never lose. With this phrase, it is enough.

Seeing Han Xin's figure gradually disappearing, Ji Bu walked to Xiang Yu's side, bowed his head and said in a deep voice; "Brother Yu, don't be rash. Han Xin is a stoic man and a leader among people, if he is not used by me, he is very likely to become my great confidant in the future. We should send someone to kill him now, so that we can prevent future troubles. ”

Xiang Yu snorted coldly, grabbed the saber, and with a fierce force, he actually broke the sword alive.

"I, Xiang Yu, said here today, if anyone dares to attack and kill Han Xin without my consent, I, Xiang Yu, will kill him to avenge my brother-in-law." After speaking, his sharp gaze swept over Ji Bu, Zhong Liwei, Long Ji and Yu Ziqi.

Xiang Liang, who had been silent on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded angrily; "Yu'er, you don't want to be a woman and brave a husband. Is your righteousness important, or is it my great cause of restoring the country that is important? ”

Xiang Yu shook his head. "Uncle, you don't have to say any more, I've already made up my mind. When I was young, you often taught me to be a hero who stood up to the sky and the earth, and to have a mind like the sea. If just one Han Xin can make me kill him with fear, how many heroes in the world there are, how can I be compatible. ”

He raised his head again and squinted at the place where Han Xin left: "Besides, wouldn't it be interesting if there was an extra opponent in this world." ”
