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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJdhrIAaEe

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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnjGR7In5M

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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxDyYSgAd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkghd5Akn5V
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmXtD0Xwi7
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMZuL75ke
「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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOgRV2L0Rd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hl9pKxAhR
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBFp21HilV
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauIOwUw7Oy
「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！557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnSdyfB5B3
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ752jfEvhk7
「隨緣吧。」項羽無視寶劍，苦笑續杯。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYyGXweJJ6
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4R3V3QcPB
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYKZ1w4m8
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsbNjgAPn
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo16IcI55A
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtR8qRsOq
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……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYd3NAuPEe
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofOtshYq7z
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMzJP2hjN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5TodeCzDW
「謝大王誇獎。」虞姬喜上眉梢，全然不沾國破家亡的陰霾。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPs09jZzRb
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogub9KbQdU
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJceNF9MLVA
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71FhreXjcD
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk2IlwkWDR
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQdzlrOZoV
「你想……投……」大漢不敢置信，衝口而出直道心裡疑問。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFW6K72Bbq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5df3U8kh
「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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN1py5BWUT
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekLDhovUtV
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNllaRc7ko
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO5vzx3u5K
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRFGElLsEf
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhBO8pfLWv
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfIXthd6UF
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3YoGPmNvD
「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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHOWkRERVp
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AaL1J6OuG
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEn7rDsko6
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1GSvhltBO
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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4rC9wmJBo
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOnUn66HYF
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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZDNOfIKXo
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y6vsNaZnh
「好！妙極！」項羽破涕為笑，擊節讚賞。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3JUqEwjg
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkjU2CfjY
虞姬感動又感激，帶淚微笑向大漢點頭致意。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3hUV036E
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOtBXCN7XA
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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaWuulco4y
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrFa4D9LK7
曲盡，舞未停。虞姬邊舞邊清唱：「漢兵已略地，四面楚歌聲。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3K7Hsfb8E
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8t309GoIx
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlQNmWhwIb
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2MtDFpYdo
「大王意氣盡，賤妾何聊生。」劍光匆匆，雪白細頸添了一絲鮮紅。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUJHBizaVx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTSoytFBy
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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVzvpmpK1c
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SpYuZl32f
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！557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRxB1E2oc1

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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W9gVmw996
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65kISd3tC8
「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。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTQxKN6GA1
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nqUxS41n1
「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。」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4J6mBGB87
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoZ6rkacP
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！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTsPgiPuID

「大王！」大漢受寵若驚，下跪叩首：「在下定必不負聖望！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxnD4KNtNc
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgFMEqiMQn
分道揚鑣，後會無期。項羽高調領著數百子弟兵殺出重圍，好讓大漢和廿名年輕楚兵能順利抄小道離開。奈何項羽算漏了與大漢一同溜入楚營刺探情報的兩名漢兵……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0NPNaC30y
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzpOJ3yxZL
中後段的三名楚兵誤踩機關，中箭墮馬身亡。尾隨在後的四名楚兵經驗不足，沒能駕馭受驚的戰馬，跟不上大漢與前段楚兵的步伐，慘被埋伏的漢兵亂刀斬殺。大漢想要回頭救人，誰料身邊其中一名楚兵阻止大漢。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt1O8sB7vH

「大王表面是要我們安葬虞姬，實則是希望我們能好好活下去！」大漢施力收緊韁繩。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd6aklnBpE
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NjEYjUc2E
「所以我們更要好好安葬虞姬！」楚兵苦口婆心力勸：「大王寧以愛人的遺體作餌，亦要增加我們活下去的機會！這份情義、這份恩情，我們該如何報答？你說！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XLYsRk1Pp
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf1eGkZVXJ
「好好安葬虞姬……」大漢恍然大悟，哈哈大笑：「我竟然比不上你這小子！」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiEGufe4oF
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPD2TkmOHR
沿路伏兵不少，楚漢兩軍皆有死傷。最終能跟隨大漢殺出重圍的僅有兩名年輕人。三人變裝入城，火化虞姬，然後帶著骨灰穿州過省，順利到達虞姬家鄉。安葬虞姬後，大漢與兩名年輕人道別不復見。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3eoSZosSv

大漢再次得知項羽消息已是兩個月後的事。官府公告項羽於垓下之戰落敗，在烏江自刎身亡。耳聞目睹鄉里們齊聲歡呼，笑罵項羽懦夫，大漢心裡不是滋味——他認定劉邦造謠貶低項羽。他衷心相信項羽寧在沙場被碎屍萬段，亦不會懦弱自殺。因為項羽是個頂天立地的男子漢，絕不會辜負虞姬的厚望。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVfp8P0D5T
