Gaixia, Xiang Yu’s military camp.

The tired soldiers leaned against the fire and snuggled up to keep warm. The barracks were filled with blood, and many soldiers were carrying wounds of all sizes, and blood oozed out of the wounds and dyed the cloth tape red.

Yu Ruoyan took a steamed bun and walked into Xiang Yu's military tent. In the big tent, Xiang Yu held his forehead with one hand and leaned against the table. The armor on his body was full of traces of swords and chopped by swords. Yu Ruoyan gently placed the steamed bun on the table and said to Xiang Yu: "Eat something, Brother Xiang."

Xiang Yu slowly raised his head, his eye sockets were deep and his eyebrows were furrowed. He knew that he had not rested for a long time. His tired expression made Yu Ruoyan look at him and she touched Xiang Yu's eyebrows with heartache and sighed softly.

Xiang Yu looked down at the steamed bun in front of him, and remained silent. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Yan'er, have you eaten it?"

"Don't worry, I'm not hungry." Yu Ruoyan smiled. Xiang Yu looked at Yu Ruoyan's thin body, his eyes dimmed. He said nothing, divided the steamed buns into half and stuffed them to her.

The military camp had been out of food for four days. Xiang Yu knew that Yu Ruoyan must have tried his best to find this steamed bun. If even he was like this, Xiang Yu could imagine the situation of those brothers under his command.

Liu Ji's army had surrounded Gaixia, and it was like an isolated and helpless situation. But even so, Liu Ji still did not dare to act rashly. Liu Ji was afraid of Xiang Yu's power. Although he frequently sent troops to attack, he still did not get any benefits.

A soldier hummed the song of Chu State Township. Gradually, several soldiers sang it along with him. More and more soldiers hummed the song of Chu, with the song sad and desolate, floating in Gaixia.

Yu Ruoyan sat next to the guqin, her fingers slowly brushed across the strings, and the music of the guqin flowed out, bringing the soldiers' thoughts back to their hometown and the place they were dreaming about.

Xiang Yu's eyes were slightly wet. Since he started to rebel against Qin, he had experienced more than 70 battles of all sizes and had never been defeated. But this time, he really felt the helplessness and sadness of being powerless to turn things around. The voice of Chu evoked the softest memories in his heart, and he tasted the pain of failure for the first time.

Yu Ziqi was fiddling with a mechanical mouse in his hand in the tent. This mechanical mouse was one he had lost before. For some reason, he came back inexplicably today. Yu Ziqi carefully picked up the mouse and looked left and right, and always felt something was wrong.

He put the mechanical rat on his nose and asked, and Yu Ziqi smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. He gently tapped the mechanical rat's nose. With a click, the mechanical rat's belly suddenly opened, and a small bamboo slip fell out of the mechanical rat's belly.

northwest.

Only these two words were written on the bamboo slip. Yu Ziqi carefully checked the mechanical rat from beginning to end, but found no abnormalities.

Northwest? What does this mean?

Yu Ziqi didn't understand that this mechanical rat seemed to have been lost four years ago, but it is still intact now. Who has always hidden this mechanical rat and repaired it so perfectly?

Outside the tent, the sound of horns was remembered again, as if Liu Ji's army had begun to attack again. Yu Ziqi did not care about the mechanical rat, so he put on his armor and rushed out again.

This time, Liu Ji's army did not rush up, but formed a formation and attacked in batches. Xiang Yu rushed to the front line, and the place where the overlord's spear was swung, flesh and blood were flying everywhere. He was alone and formed a barrier for the Chu army. The soldiers of the Han army fell one by one under his gun.

Yu Ziqi was not willing to be outdone. He waved his big sword to kill the enemy. He was a mechanical fool and was not good at swords, but even so, he tried his best to fight on the front line. For him, brothers and sisters should do this.

On the hillside not far away, a red dress reflected the sight of the army. The figure was like the sunset in the sunset, reflecting the bloody brilliance. Qi Lan looked down at the bloody battlefield under her feet with a red veil. Her eyes were calm and she was used to life and death. She had long been used to such scenes.

Xiang Yu cut down several Han soldiers, glanced at Qi Lan on the hillside, and pointed directly at her with the blood-stained overlord gun, his tone was domineering but majestic: "Who are you?"

Qi Lan said seriously: "The Lord of Chuling Pavilion."

As soon as Qi Lan finished speaking, countless soldiers in the army knelt on the ground. Gradually, more and more, more and more. Until the end, nearly 200,000 soldiers all knelt on the ground and bowed, shouting in unison: "I welcome the Lord of the Chuling Pavilion!"

Xiang Yu was stunned. Chuling Pavilion had been secretly supporting the Han army, making suggestions for the Han army from all aspects and preparing food and pay. Some people even circulated that Han Xin, the general under Liu Ji, was a member of Chuling Pavilion. He did not expect that the head of Chuling Pavilion would be such a woman.

"Demon!" Xiang Yu shouted loudly and became angry: "You are the remnant of the Qin Dynasty. I should have killed all the people in the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, and I will not keep any Qin people!"

"Ha." Qi Lan sneered: "Don't you understand that the reason why you lost is because you killed too much and lost your heart?"

"You are wrong. I, Xiang Yu, have never lost, and I will never lose." Xiang Yu shouted angrily: "Liu Ji, the man who is untrustful and righteous, is not my opponent at all. Now, it's God who is about to destroy me, and it's definitely not him Liu Ji!"

After saying that, Xiang Yu waved his gun and rushed straight towards Qi Lan. But before he could approach Qi Lan, Bo Ji and Lu Yang drew their swords at the same time and fought forward. Bo Ji's martial arts skills were not low, and Lu Yang waited for four years before he could wait for this opportunity. She still remembered the scene of Xiang Yu killing Ziying. Every time she was startled from her dream, she wanted to crush Xiang Yu's bones and throw them into ashes.

At the moment when the Lord of Chuling Pavilion was here, the fighting spirit of the soldiers affiliated with Chuling Pavilion was aroused. They were full of fighting spirit and fought on the battlefield. For them, this was a revenge battle. Xiang Yu slaughtered the city and burned the Xianyang Palace, taking away their last thoughts about the Qin Dynasty. Now, they also have to give him a tooth to taste the destruction of the country and the family.

The brave fighting of the Han soldiers quickly made the Chu soldiers feel overwhelmed. Xiang Yu was besieged by Luyang and Bo Ji, and was unable to take care of the others, so Yu Ziqi just barely supported him.

A rustling sound rang behind Qi Lan. Qi Lan did not move, and let the person behind him stab her straight with a dagger.

Qi Lan lightly pointed her toes and avoided the attack. The man was not willing to be outdone. He picked up the dagger and stabbed it again. She rushed towards Qi Lan's chest fiercely. Qi Lan sighed and said in a low voice:

"If you really want to kill me, why do you have to make a sound to make me notice? With your martial arts, it should have hurt me more easily."

Yu Ruoyan held the dagger in her hand tremblingly. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she still raised the dagger and pointed directly at Qi Lan: "I have been escaping this day, but in the end, we still came to this point."

"Yes..." Qi Lan sighed: "I can kill Xiang Yu cruelly, but I still can't bear it for you. Xiaoyuer, this is probably our destiny."

Yu Ruoyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and held the dagger in her hand tightly. Qi Lan's heart was as if she was shattered. She had always felt guilty about Yu Ruoyan. When she was trapped in Xianyang City, Yu Ruoyan had risked her life to deliver letters to them. After pretending to die in Chang'an Palace, Yu Ruoyan was also distraught and even scolded Liu Ji in person.

If they had not stood opposite each other, Qi Lan and Yu Ruoyan would have become their best friends, but now they are in a hostile camp, they can only fight each other and fight to the death.

Qi Lan slowly gathered strength in her palm, and her long ink hair danced lightly. Qi Lan looked at Yu Ruoyan and said lightly: "I offended." Immediately afterwards, the entire cliff seemed to have been suddenly exploded, and it collapsed in an instant. The huge rocks rolled down, blocking the mountain road, and yellow sand rose in the sky.

The Han King's army gradually approached Xiang Yu. His body was covered with bloody corpses. Waves of people rushed up and were provoked by Xiang Yu's overlord gun and threw them back. Xiang Yu's sharp eyes made them dare not step forward. The armor on his body was stained with blood. His whole body was like a fierce god of death, and he alone blocked hundreds of thousands of troops.

The situation is at stalemate. With Xiang Yu alone, the Han army will find it difficult to capture the entire Gaixia for a while. However, Yu Ziqi knew in his heart that Xiang Yu's body was not iron-clad, and he always had moments of fatigue. As long as he showed his tiredness, the Han army would immediately capture Gaixia and the Xiang family army would be wiped out.

What should I do? What can I do?

Yu Ziqi kept examining the current situation, and suddenly he thought of the "bamboo slip" he received not long ago, with the words "Northwest" written on it. Could it be that someone was reminding him what was in the northwest direction?

Yu Ziqi subconsciously looked northwest. There was a high ground there, and there were not many Han troops on all sides. Yu Ziqi didn't care about many and immediately ordered everyone to break out of the siege from the northwest.

Yu Ruoyan slowly opened her eyes, and she felt her body rising and falling, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in her ears. She vaguely realized that she was on a horse.

"You are awake." The figure in front suddenly spoke, Yu Ruoyan was shocked, and the dagger immediately pressed against her throat.

Qi Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I just took you to see Xiang Yu, I don't want to hurt you."

Yu Ruoyan's hands shook and immediately bumped. Her dagger swayed on Qi Lan's neck, which might kill her at any time, but Qi Lan looked calm and didn't seem to care.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ruoyan took back the dagger. Qi Lan smiled and said "Thank you" and continued to ride the horse. The two were silent, with only the sound of horse hooves.

"Where are you going to take me?" Yu Ruoyan broke the silence.

"Border of Wujiang River."
