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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqY4WuSPOD
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzngMJQi5H
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wzcH2LvK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3whwNLKpP
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySeKhgwxyM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmACPJqiXH
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0F0MJYNB0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz8eybBuWQ
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmbFpwvs2m
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aa4xV2R3y
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGT3RKKwK2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFz3l9brOE
「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！303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IAslFXh7v
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0idX2pSw
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍，苦笑續杯。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kwxHHxggU
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNdunH0PV
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM842sYlecS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLc53tpc3D
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CeazwPpX
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQhYPnN9c
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……303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhfdBnGCFV
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgIreml772
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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5bed3OAsm
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4qwd5ZZAn
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢，全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H3nfyFzHg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLFwtFq1HG
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoQUEY02aK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUGgR1CYA6
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fW4a6F7Qm
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNrKE1Rusa
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信，衝口而出直道心裡疑問。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhphhXoSBR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08H380e7ET
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOKvYs6CDf
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJoqVY2VGV
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9dJQPME2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZa1PuQkGI
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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhs1f35MTy
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvgq0B9CZO
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GCcBAaoSE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazbXijMW15
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1zhvQLv2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6oKm8ytD9
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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2cXnc9NB
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2u2GBNG9t
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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6IXkeFQHV
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd91DJUjhX
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！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHT0wv2XXR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptFPUhQ5Co
「好！妙極！」項羽破涕為笑，擊節讚賞。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPKHaB2ayM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MjWuekF92
虞姬感動又感激，帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWq1CtUZ5a
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2u0KhV6Y3
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！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4SiDLFqdE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgCVoDoIbI
曲盡，舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱：「漢兵已略地，四面楚歌聲。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwQ2uF9xOF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85OwiFTfm2
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNRTY3XfA8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hARZY8erX
「大王意氣盡，賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆，雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ziznIjnQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU7cFlvwDr
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgDabnMln
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgFYsLaVu
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！303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCmjypdcvE

「朕的子民，跟朕殺出重圍！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFj5JcBpVN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIROaWK3dDW
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYolPyo1I
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KIXNUCQtn
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICWiDH6S6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPdASdGvI
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnvEtz9udW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1JvBAmcE0
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！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3acz49ZbNP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jn6KUN2pc
「大王！」大漢受寵若驚，下跪叩首：「在下定必不負聖望！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqIKbxnkDJ
