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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uik3XvyEm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZisRn9dKa
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7uuJdK1g
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaCLKJNbL
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIzCYVumhM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnFR6XzOS1
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmNhELayQA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUisRbFi6l
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDy9cblA2j
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJsSsvhvXS
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjAbIKfKKt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGq98YSaS
「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！286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHuPBBYLNf
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ND8PC7GU
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍，苦笑續杯。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XDaH1JjSS
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XF26JPcb3
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKGvfmwDC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6du6HUXQg
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEgTl7XOyE
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtdSIxH0sl
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……286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d5x5ZlH54
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZEuRzYKKB
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegUvHaufkh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8q69BeI4m
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢，全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9MDxmpuM6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3xmwFx4TU
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzfQd4RezS
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav2Dv7fIjU
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ06XL8HrBY
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUHVHHNBrO
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信，衝口而出直道心裡疑問。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbiyxT9ce8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjkYbfHc1n
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXv5yn1b6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHa6lYLiUq
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKixcJ5vGh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh81TGC4hb
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGw8cyKJD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbRwRxlWG
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNLP6y3SWO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Hpt9XDG9
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0KN5X4dQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSjYrHh2dS
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWubUoBVpw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD1OaFjoYJ
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bZRYHCmvl
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu8dN0fr9h
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！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mC1X1ZsFq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsUlknril
「好！妙極！」項羽破涕為笑，擊節讚賞。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd1RQSUg78
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDjDJ57Ai
虞姬感動又感激，帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMeYuqAFF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsGhtizdGU
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！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FHMA7pOO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVm3CTkBaC
曲盡，舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱：「漢兵已略地，四面楚歌聲。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrOYvicJ2r
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VeQGZxVey
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgVdpktWC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Jb4ofNjf
「大王意氣盡，賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆，雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPk6xYTAJX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMUNxwzrR
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFHvLEyOpV
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNrX8t6Ibz
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！286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8LidFDkfU
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIThah1uZ8
「朕的子民，跟朕殺出重圍！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmKTDp4CJ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn3O3RLJVp
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZKb01bjM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96kbVYE1Q0
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqEV86gdm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNRe3e1Nch
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHytoacZwoD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7jv8f8IYX
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！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8SvEFcoI
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE0ceyxtzl
「大王！」大漢受寵若驚，下跪叩首：「在下定必不負聖望！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydQaBg1uw
