四面楚歌，八千楚兵潛逃離營。漢軍未敢鬆懈，先遣三漢潛入楚營察看情況。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW15KNWe5L4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xeE7tP65
楚兵潰不成軍，何解前方幃帳仍有歌聲舞影？其中一名大漢在帳外窺視。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzwLTblCc2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpLRxosQqf
西楚霸王項羽愁眉苦臉，握劍獨酌，如癡如醉細賞絕色虞姬曼妙舞姿。烏髮飄飄，白袖翩翩。旋身扭腰，舉手投足，每一動作柔中帶勁，勁度適中，不慍不火，將上乘內功完美融入舞步當中。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSv5ZSkuHp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjLhd9FP35
大漢恍然大悟——難怪每次項羽總能在絕境死局中殺出重圍，原來有虞姬暗中幫忙。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqFdQHkkw0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpQXOrqhB
「帳外的壯士，賞面把酒言歡嗎？」項羽沒待大漢回答，逕自舉壼酙滿酒杯。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQvVDeZ1JJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmcgocE8HJ
大漢嚇得僵住，不懂進退。項羽明白大漢擔憂，大手一揚，隨手將寶劍扔向幃帳一隅。虞姬順勢一跳一躍，伸手接下快要著地的寶劍，動作俐落得彷彿接劍一幕原本就是舞步的一部份。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaJea9M6Qj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofOJvsjmuL
「大王，何必呢？」虞姬謙恭欠身雙手奉上寶劍。雖是女兒身，卻深明隨身武器好比武者的尊嚴，何況是心高氣傲的項羽！380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7yLChosN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYSZv0gjeW
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍，苦笑續杯。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYRrMHyCJn
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz3H9qObH9
虞姬目光一轉，熱情招呼大漢入帳共飲。大漢自問沒有全身而退的可能，只得應邀入帳。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtllR6WMnUI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYYr7Rosyv
帳內，氣氛怪異。大漢正襟危坐，不敢沾酒半滴，項羽、虞姬閒話家常，從容自若。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstZS2JDEcM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSmz1sPBoG
戰場上有可能存在不帶考慮的邀約嗎？大漢不相信項羽會如此輕率隨性。素聞項羽城府甚深，沒可能從他口中探聽消息。他有意無意打量虞姬——情根深種的女人最容易露出破綻……380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfXf5ql6IR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCgSgJ8BZB
舞盡，大漢鼓掌。項羽眉頭稍鬆：「無論是何方人士，都會喜歡虞姬的舞步。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc82knRdovO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER98vDp8F9
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢，全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2RjzKn3PR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRTg75uXyS
「相信虞姬將來定會嫁個好夫君。」項羽於心有愧，不敢正視虞姬，目光停留在杯中酒水的微顫倒影之上。「希望壯士日後能為虞姬說句好話。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXGQlV4IEl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbSAoLMRB
項羽語帶雙關，表面為虞姬作媒，實為請求大漢在劉邦面前為虞姬求情。此話出乎眾人意料，不單是大漢，連虞姬亦大為震驚。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSmzoLWlhC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKngFApJr1
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信，衝口而出直道心裡疑問。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAd2PqqH0x
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZilNrd92y
「對大王要用尊稱！」虞姬盛怒，從衣袖抽出佩劍，瞄準大漢喉頭直刺。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Vxs5gqvt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ7nzHryIz
大漢從席中彈起，順勢右手一撥，酒杯應勁飛彈向虞姬秀臉。虞姬及時欠身避過，全身白衣不沾滴酒，惟錯失刺殺良機。眼見大漢距出入口僅餘幾步之遙，虞姬情急擲劍飛擊。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcIXDNwkF2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qSxeVTz9p
電光火石之間，項羽扔杯撞開虞姬的佩劍，救下大漢一命，輕嘆：「虞姬，無謂執著。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVUsDT3cZp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJADcJox2R
虞姬正要開口回話之時，項羽離座把玩閒置在帳中一隅的五弦琴。誰料弦線忽斷，在項羽手腕劃下一道血痕。虞姬連忙上前為項羽治理傷口。來回忙碌的玉手忽爾凝住——不屬於她的溫熱淚水滴落她的手背上，既輕且重。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SAcnBTHvV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ23WFW6qgM
「力拔山兮氣蓋世。時不利兮騅不逝。騅不逝兮可奈何！虞兮虞兮奈若何！」身經百戰的項羽不堪壓力，心防竟被斷弦劃破，淚流不止。他不是天選之人，即便再優秀、再努力亦無法成為王者。甘心嗎？不甘心又如何？根本無能為力。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KtIKScgpH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWjpwYcjDX
虞姬攙扶項羽回座，勉力擠出笑容，誠懇恭敬向大漢道歉：「壯士，請饒恕小女子無禮。希望閣下大人有大量，繼續留帳享用美酒。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SgPEl0Z5i
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KuoKsYyU
夜正深，月正圓，項羽、虞姬這對苦命鴛鴦已一腳踏入鬼門關，大漢不禁為二人暗暗惋歎。靈光一閃，大漢決定為二人帶來最後一點快樂回憶：「恭敬不如從命。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8wL13mgI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zwtXIfvkA
大漢走向僅餘四弦的琴，即席譜曲彈奏。曲調先是激昂悠揚，繼而沉鬱悲壯，似是描述項羽的事蹟。更妙的是，曲末幾句的音調剛好適合套在項羽悉才有感而發唸出的四句詩作。「這是在下獻給大王的曲子！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU6cpctFE8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67qPVO6UZ
「好！妙極！」項羽破涕為笑，擊節讚賞。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡows8Yvu6EH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L3C1G4ggh
虞姬感動又感激，帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsp17fm5Re
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzFtzMW3Sx
大漢再次奏曲，虞姬隨曲執劍起舞，項羽興致大發：「力拔山兮氣蓋世。時不利兮騅不逝。騅不逝兮可奈何！虞兮虞兮奈若何！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahE6nQZGgZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajF3Hx414
曲盡，舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱：「漢兵已略地，四面楚歌聲。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yHRmLsSyo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFej6WFWiR
半醉的項羽聽出話中的話，驀地抬頭望向虞姬，只見她一個旋身將劍刃架在頸上。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P7f06CK5L
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdms84MfQjc
「大王意氣盡，賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆，雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrErrKRi0L
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk9JeALPQW
虞姬倒地無聲，項羽不聲不吭，將杯中美酒一飲而盡，拾劍離帳。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VmSSGEQRg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX7EhpRwk8
怎會不愛？怎會不痛？奈何再多的愛亦改變不了事實——虞姬自刎就是因為項羽認命，就是因為他任由絕望在心裡張牙舞爪！虞姬用自己的寶貴生命提醒項羽，該要時刻緊記作為男人的尊嚴和承擔！項羽暗暗起誓，絕不再次辜負她的厚望，誓必奮戰至最後一刻！380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSws7YqLyk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDLleUGwe9
「朕的子民，跟朕殺出重圍！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxiOc1YQ0T
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRAyOUVovY
楚軍重新列陣佈防期間，項羽回到帳內，發現大漢未有逃去，依然愣立原地。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0WF1YXT7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7oCB1oLXf
「壯士不需要回去覆命嗎？」項羽神情輕鬆，沒有顯露任何亡國喪妻之痛。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioMAXyZBfd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKvqXU7cqX
「我不打算回去……」大漢仍被虞姬的剛烈與情深所憾動。他憶起劉邦縱然滿嘴仁義道德，卻屢次於身陷困境時拋棄妻兒和部下獨自逃走。他的虛偽與項羽、虞姬的真性情根本無可比擬。「希望大王能將我收歸麾下。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxLecCGY7G
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APb6LnSqR
緊接的一戰定必九死一生。雖是萍水相逢，項羽卻不希望大漢一同赴死。想及大漢乃性情中人，願為知音赴湯蹈火，項羽心生一計，既可保大漢一命，亦可了卻自己心願：「好！朕命你帶虞姬遺體回鄉安葬！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5baliOszuj
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSNvJ6SP2N
「大王！」大漢受寵若驚，下跪叩首：「在下定必不負聖望！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouExZoNTv4
