In the tavern in Handan, groups of diners gathered, several young people sat in a corner of the tavern and talked loudly, Xiang Yu was also among them, they had great ambitions, and often gathered here to drink and talk about the world's major events. At this time, everyone was talking about the recent rumors in the rivers and lakes that the unparalleled Cold Moon Frost Knife had fallen into the Central Plains, and was sent to Xianyang by a group of Hun warriors a while ago, but it disappeared on the way, and now I don't know where it is.

Someone said, "I heard that the original King of Qin promised that as long as he got the Cold Moon Frost Knife, he would send troops to help the Huns fight the Huns. 」

When one of the people next to him heard this, he immediately asked, "Why are the Huns fighting the Huns?"

The man nodded and said, "Not really. 」

The man next to him shook his head and scolded, "When is this still a civil strife? They should unite and resist the Qin State together." 」

Usually, these people actually don't have much affection for the Huns, but now everyone is under the oppression of the Qin State, unconsciously, but they have the same hatred for the Huns, and someone said: "That dare is good, now that the knife is gone, the King of Qin is angry and unwilling to send troops, and the Huns will not be able to make trouble in this civil strife." 」

When Xiang Yu heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can't see it. 」

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone suddenly fell silent, waiting to hear him, only to see him mutter for a while, and continued: "I heard that the discord among the Xiongnu tribes has been clarified, and in my opinion, even if the King of Qin does not send troops, I am afraid that they will have to fight hard. Originally, if King Qin sent troops to help one of them, needless to say, the other side would have lost. Now if the king of Qin refuses to help, then the forces of the two Xiongnu sides are equal, and the losses will be quite heavy in this fight. The Huns have always been fierce, and good at fighting, if the Qin State wants to annex it, it was not an easy task, now the sword is stolen, the King of Qin has a reason not to help any of them, I see him, but he is happy to go and watch the tiger fight, and so they themselves make both defeats, and then the Qin State will send troops to attack the Xiongnu again, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. 」

Xiang Yu analyzed this, and everyone present showed expressions of sudden realization, nodding and admiring.

In the past two years, Xiang Yu has the heart to learn the art of war, quite a small success, he was originally born in the aristocracy, his father and uncle explained that there are famous generals, since childhood, learn faster, and now in him, as if he has a slight general's posture, sitting in a group of young people, it is natural to show the leadership style.

After listening to Xiang Yu's analysis, one of them said, "According to what you say, the Cold Moon Frost Knife suddenly disappeared halfway, maybe it is also related to King Qin. 」

The person next to him couldn't help but retort when he heard it: "Alas, I don't think that's necessarily, who doesn't want a treasure like the Cold Moon Frost Knife?" Speaking of this, the topic changed, and everyone began to discuss the rumors of the Cold Moon Frost Knife.

For all those who practice martial arts, there is no one who is not impressed when they hear that the magic weapon is sharp, this group of young people repeatedly described the magic of the Cold Moon Frost Knife, which made Xiang Yu's heart itch and scratch, and secretly thought: "But I don't know how this Cold Moon Frost Knife compares to my treasure knife?" and thought: "My martial arts are mediocre, but there is a rare treasure knife, Jing Tianming's martial arts are much better than mine, and he is the apprentice of the first sword in the world, but the weapon in his hand is not very good. It's a pity that my knife is a family heirloom, can't be given away, if Tianming can have a cold moon frost knife, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings, when the time comes, with his martial arts, coupled with the results of my research on the art of war, join forces, call on everyone, maybe you can really do a great cause. 」

The more Xiang Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately took out the money and put it on the table, saying, "I have left beforehand, and today's meal is mine." With that, he strode out of the tavern to the cheers of the crowd.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiang Yu knocked on Jing Tianming's door without saying a word, and no one answered after knocking for a long time, so he simply opened the door and walked in, and found that Jing Tianming was sitting on the bed well, with his eyes closed, but it didn't seem like he was dozing, I saw that his breathing was sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, and it seemed like he was pranayama.

Xiang Yu didn't want to bother again, so he had to be patient, pacing in the room, touching his head for a while and scratching his brain, trying to suppress his excitement.

Finally, Jing Tianming finally opened his eyes, and Xiang Yu immediately couldn't wait to say, "What kind of lazy sleep in the daytime?"

Jing Tianming wiped his sweat and replied, "I'm not sleeping, I'm practicing. 」

Xiang Yu smiled, "I know you're practicing, I'm kidding you, why have you been messing with Gao Yue for so long, and you're still a wooden head?"

Jing Tianming didn't understand, and asked rhetorically, "What does this have to do with Ah Yue?"

"Forget it, forget it," Xiang Yu didn't bother to continue explaining, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you, it's not convenient here. With that, he pulled Jing Tianming and walked out.

After a short time, the two came to a small hill with a wide field of vision, the breeze was gentle, the autumn air was crisp, and the scenery under their eyes also opened up.

Xiang Yu said to Jing Tianming with emotion: "Look, how good the scenery is here, people can only see far when they stand tall. But the times are chaotic, and we are always sitting here, and we can't do anything big. 」

Jing Tianming didn't say anything when he heard it, but he agreed very much in his heart. Although he is not like Xiang Yu, he wants to do something vigorous and vigorous, but after all, he is young and vigorous, and he has been locked up for a long time, and he naturally has a depression in his chest, he looked at the house under the hill, and then looked up at the boundless blue sky, and finally asked, "Xiang Yu, do you want to leave?"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "There is a unique Hun treasure knife called the Cold Moon Frost Knife, I heard that it has recently been displaced to the Central Plains, and no one knows its whereabouts. Tomorrow, we might as well get that knife. Although Gai Daxia is the first sword in the world, but as a master, he is too stingy, I have watched it for a long time in the past few years, and I always feel that he uses some ordinary swordsmanship to prevaricate you. 」

Xiang Yu's words just hit Jing Tianming's heart knot, seeing that Jing Tianming was a little moved, Xiang Yu hurriedly continued: "Could it be that he wants you to squat for ten years with one horse step, and you will obediently squat correctly? When that time comes, everything you want to eradicate will be strengthened, and everything you want to protect will be dead, so who are you going to save with your swordsmanship? You have a body of martial arts, who should you fight for?"

Xiang Yu patted Jing Tianming's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it so much, I think it's like this, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, let's leave tonight when it's ugly, next to the well a mile away, I will prepare two horses, see you or leave." 」

At this time, a delicate voice suddenly came from above their heads, "Two horses, isn't it enough? You and Jing Tianming have one horse, what should I do with Liu Bi?"

Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu didn't need to look up, they knew that it was Gao Yue hiding in a tree, obviously she had taught her to hear what she had said. Sure enough, Gao Yue's melon seed face poked out of the big banyan tree, a pair of big black eyes were dripping, she jumped down from the tree with a smile, and clapped her hands to the grass next to her and shouted, "Runny nose, you come out!

I saw Liu Bi crawling out of the grass very embarrassed, although he was the youngest of the four, he was already a scholar boy at this time, but Gao Yue didn't care, or according to the habit when he was a child, he called him runny nose every time, although Liu Bi was not very happy, but he was helpless, fortunately, Xiang Yu also kept calling Gao Yue a little beggar, which helped Liu Bi a little bit.

At this time, Liu Bi stood up and patted his clothes, and began to defend himself without saying anything: "It's all, it's Gao Yue, she said, it's rare to see Tianming out of the room, and she also said, you two are sneaky, you don't know what to do, so you just pulled me here." 」

"When are you hiding here, why haven't we seen it?" Jing Tianming asked in surprise.

Gao Yue immediately snorted, with a smug look on her face: "On weekdays, I follow Brother Mao Yu everywhere to collect medicine, I am very familiar with this hill, as soon as I see which road you choose, I know where you are going, take the path with a runny nose, rush ahead of you, first find a place to hide and wait for you to come." It's called, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes behind. 」

Liu Bi shook his head when he heard this, and corrected, "No, no, this should be called catching a turtle in an urn. 」

Xiang Yu laughed when he heard this, and said, "No, no, this should be called, runny nose and little beggar, who have nothing to do when they are full. 」

At this moment, even Jing Tianming couldn't help laughing.

The four of them laughed for a while, and Xiang Yu suddenly said, "Little beggar, Jing Tianming and I don't want to go out to play, you and Liu Bi don't know martial arts, but we're afraid of danger on the road. 」

Liu Bi listened and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, what Xiang Yu said makes sense, this is too dangerous, if I go with me, it will only drag everyone down." Gao Yue, you are the same. So, then, this, I won't go, Gao Yue, don't go, alas, I see, Tianming, Xiang Yu, you two simply don't go. 」

Gao Yue snorted and complained: "Xiang Xiaoniao, don't you want to send me, since we came to Handan, you and the stinky buns, one locks himself up every day, and the other runs all day without seeing people, has a runny nose, and can only study, so I have to follow Brother Mao Yu every day to pass the time by picking herbs. I want to learn some fun spells from him, and he teaches them messily. All in all, I've been bored long enough. 」

Xiang Yu shook his head and continued to persuade: "Little beggar, you also heard it just now, we are going to find a knife, this knife, I heard that there were originally a hundred carefully selected Hun warriors to escort it, but I didn't expect it to be stolen, no matter who that person is, it is by no means an idle person, I and Jing Tianming are going, if we can't find the knife, forget it, if we can really find it, whether we can get it back, I'm afraid it's hard to say." 」

Jing Tianming, who was still a little hesitant, suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard this, and his fighting spirit appeared, he took a deep breath and shouted at this valley, so suddenly, the other three were startled, and looked at Jing Tianming inexplicably, only to see a rare hearty spirit on his face, and said loudly: "Instead of being helpless here, why not just go out and break through? Ah Yue, if you want to come along, come along!"

These words were sonorous and powerful, Gao Yue immediately applauded, and Xiang Yu saw that Jing Tianming had finally made up his mind, so he no longer stopped Gao Yue. The three of you, look at me, I look at you, suddenly because there are goals and challenges in life, and they all feel a sense of strength, even Liu Bi, although he is worried about the other three in his heart, can't help but get excited at this time.

The hill is not high, but the earth is not boundary, and under the hill, the maple leaves are turning red.

Xiang Yu was born with broad shoulders and thick body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked even more heroic in the sunlight; Liu Bi looked like a scholar at first glance, with a slightly thin body, but with an awe-inspiring righteousness; Gao Yue was dressed in red, with black hair like clouds, eyebrows without painting, and lips without dotting red, she was a delicate little girl, where was she still a little beggar.

Gao Yue blinked her big flexible eyes, and naturally took Jing Tianming's hand, Jing Tianming was handsome and straight, his eyes were like bright stars, and as he grew older, his appearance became more and more similar to his mother Liji, only a pair of sword eyebrows and those stubborn eyes came from Jing Ke. The four of them stood side by side on the hillock, facing the cloudless blue sky in front of them, and for some reason, they all laughed in unison.

Late that night, Xiang Yu got two horses, one for him, one for Jing Tianming and Gao Yue, and the three of them said goodbye to the wool in private, leaving a letter to trust Liu Bi to hand over to Gai Lan the next day, and then reluctantly left Liu Bi, left the town, left Handan, and started an unknown journey.

They marched all the way to the north, and according to the news that Xiang Yu received, the place where the Cold Moon Frost Knife was robbed was at the junction of the Qin State and the Xiongnu territory, which originally belonged to the "Yunzhong County" of the Zhao State.

As long as you go north along the road outside Handan, pass through Taiyuan and Yanmen, and finally you can reach Yunzhong. Although the avenue is quite straight and there is no danger of getting lost, the scenery along the way has become more and more desolate, and later it can even be said that it is not easy to find an inn to stay in, and the mountains that surround it gradually wear a snow-white smock.

Gao Yue was originally humming a small tune happily along the way, but then the chill silently soaked into her bones, teaching her to shiver with cold, and gradually lost interest. In the wilderness, occasionally seeing a few jackals following them with bad intentions, even Xiang Yu felt uncomfortable. Along the way, only Jing Tianming always seemed calm and relaxed.

At noon that day, they chose to rest on the edge of a mountain cliff, Xiang Yu watched Gao Yue take out the dry food from the baggage, although he knew that he had no choice, he still couldn't help but complain, "What?

"Hmph, if you have the ability, you can go and hunt a live hare, and I will make a fire and make [called a rabbit] for you to eat. I haven't seen half of the hotel in two days, and I should be snickering before I finish the cake. Gao Yue said and glanced at Xiang Yu.

After the three of them had eaten the pancakes, they continued to mount their horses and hurry, and just after they had left the valley, they saw a group of men and horses galloping parallel to them in the distance. Jing Tianming was a little surprised and said, "Someone? 」

Gao Yue smiled and said, "Hey, do you want to say hello to them and discuss, maybe they have more food to sell to us." Eating pancakes every day, I'm almost tired of dying. 」

Jing Tianming was about to say yes with a smile, but Xiang Yu frowned, lowered his voice and said, "I don't think they may be ordinary tourists. Everyone, speed up!"

Sure enough, the three of them sped up, and the other party immediately reacted, the team of people and horses who were originally cautious and kept a distance from them and galloped parallel to them, at this time, suddenly increased their speed and approached them, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and it didn't take long for the other party's seven horses to be divided into four before and three behind, surrounding Jing Tianming and the three of them.
