April 208 BC

As the night grew darker, Ari lit the oil lamp in his tent, and went out to find the fine charcoal for my thrush.

There will be a banquet in the big tent today.I heard Yu Ji say that it was specially prepared for me and Changxi.First, to congratulate me on my reunion with Changxi's lover.Second, to celebrate Xiang Yu's triumph this time.

I relayed this to Changxi, and although he agreed to participate, I could see that his knot had not yet been untied, and he always looked preoccupied when he talked to me.

I was still sitting in a daze when Ari retrieved the thrush charcoal, she gently took the comb from my hand, and helped me comb my hair.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm too careful."

It was already dark, I changed my clothes and was ready to go, but the curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside, and the evening breeze blew in, and I tickled a few uncombed strands of hair on my cheeks.

"It's all packed." He walked up to me, helped me put the strand of hair behind my ear, and then took my hand and said, "Let's go to the feast."

I tightened the hand he was holding, and smiled lightly, "Okay."

It's just a gentle hand-holding, but it sweeps away my depression in the past few days.The person in this world who can influence my emotions like this.Changxi son.Who else can you be.

Xiang Yu's tent was very bright.Changxi and I had just walked in.Yu Ji's laughing voice came: "I said why didn't you come so late.It turns out that the two of you have made an appointment."

My face was slightly red, and I ducked behind Changxi, and whispered, "Sister Yu, don't make fun of us."

"I'm too late to be happy." She came over and took my hand, pulled me to sit down next to her, and said to Changxi a little mischievously, "Master Ji, lend me Xue'er first, and I'll pay you back in a moment."

Changxi shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I am such a stingy person in the eyes of my wife."

"It's not stingy, it's affection." Yu Ji said in her words: "I haven't seen you work so hard a few days ago, I don't have time to spend with Xue'er, so I want to help you share it.

Changxi's face was a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Madame, every word, Changxi is speechless."

It's different from what I expected.There aren't many people in the big tent.Except for Yu Ji and Xiang Yu.It's just me, Changxi, and Qin Yu.Liu Wu has just given birth.Gao Xiran sent her back to Yuyang County for confinement.So she will come back in a few days.

Xiang Yu turned his head to Changxi and said, "Changxi, what's going on these days?"

"Back to the young master, during this time, the morale of our army was high, and we took many towns in one fell swoop, and there were no major casualties." Changxi smiled and said, "If you maintain this momentum, the attack on Xianyang will be just around the corner."

"Haha, it's just around the corner, if I can really do what you say, I'll save a lot of trouble." Xiang Yu raised his head and drank a bottle of wine, he was in a good mood, and said to the soldiers waiting outside the tent: "Come on, let Xiaozhuang dance for us."

"Young Master Qiqi, Lord Zhuang has already gone back to the tent to rest, saying that he has been running back and forth for the past few days, and he wants to rest for a while." The soldier knelt down, and his voice sounded timid.

Xiang Yu was unhappy: "Hmph, a big fart will make him tired, the future battle will be more difficult, he is not tired to death on the battlefield, there is nothing to say."

"That's it.Xiaozhuang has been really hard these days.Not to mention running back and forth, I often can't sleep all night.Now I just want to sleep for a while.Your cousin is too strict." Yu Ji patted his arm and said softly, "If you want to see it, I'll show you."

"Sister Yu can also dance swords." I was a little surprised.Most of the sword dancers were highly skilled in martial arts.How could her weak body afford to hold such a heavy bronze sword.

"I fought on the battlefield with my husband, how could I not have some ability to defend myself, if I had no power to restrain the chicken, wouldn't it be dragging my husband back." Yu Ji got up, raised her hand and pulled out the two swords hanging in the tent, and said with a smile: "I have already heard that Zhao Wu, who is sister Xue'er, is elegant and refined.

I laughed, "How?"

"How can you say that you have no clothes, you are with your son, Wang Yu Xingshi, you are a spear with me, and you have the same hatred with your son."

The sword passed through her sleeve, and she spun lightly, and the two swords glistened with cold light in her hand, but there was no murderous aura.

"How can you say that there is no clothes, and the son is the same ze, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear and halberd, and work with the son."

The sword light flickered against the firelight, and when the sword blades touched, there was a crisp metal crashing sound.

"How can you say that you have no clothes, you are dressed with your son, Wang Yuxingshi, you are a soldier, you are a soldier, and you are walking with your son."

She bent down with a sharp sword, the sword pressed against the tip of her small nose, propped up behind her, and then she held the sword and rolled over with a light and deft turn, turning and retracting the sword from its scabbard.

A sword dance is clean and neat, the movements are also smooth, the soft beauty is not lost in the pride, the pride is full of tenderness, this dance is too difficult, only a beauty like Yu Ji who is accustomed to military life, and the combination of rigidity and softness can dance.

"How." Yu Ji asked me with a smile.

"Four words." I smiled at her, "I'm sorry."

The banquet was lively because of Yu Ji's sword dance.Qin Yuqi, who was originally sitting in the corner and didn't speak, also began to talk to Xiang Yu.Yu Ji poured wine for the two of them while talking something with them.I went back to Changxi and sat down.I put a piece of beef into his bowl and said, "I advise you to eat more things now.Later they will come to persuade them to drink.I'm afraid you won't be able to resist."

"Okay." Changxi put the beef into his mouth with chopsticks and smiled: "It's still your sweetness."

My face was slightly red, and I was silent, but my hand for his cloth did not stop.

This night, the oil lamp in Xiang Yu's big tent burned until dawn, and I listened quietly to Changxi's conversation with Xiang Yu and Qin Yuqi.

It turns out that falling in love with someone is such a happy thing.Just looking at him so quietly.My heart is satisfied.Three years may really create an imperceptible gap between me and him.But I think my relationship with him should be like wine.With the accumulation of years.It will only become more and more fragrant.
