My sister is Luna

Chapter 203 Hongmen Banquet (Part )

A dark and windy night is the perfect time to commit murder!

The raging night wind howled, and the raging fire burned, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Horses galloped across the plains, neighing, all for the sake of killing one man.

Xiang Yu fought until the sky darkened, and he was now a commander without troops. The Han army surrounded him like a tide, their spears and halberds gleaming coldly as they were pointed at him. Greed flashed in the soldiers' eyes. Liu Bang offered a reward for Xiang Yu's head, promising a title and honors to whoever obtained it.

In their eyes, Xiang Yu was a ticket to the upper echelons.

Ha, that coward only dares to hide behind the scenes and doesn't dare to face me directly.

Looking at the heavily surrounded Han army, whose highest-ranking officer was only a general, Xiang Yu thought disdainfully. Suddenly, he sprang up, pierced through a Han soldier with his sword, and snatched the long spear from his hand.

Countless halberds and spears fell at once, but Xiang Yu actually raised his arm to block them, letting the blades pierce his flesh, and then he pushed himself up with all his might, and everyone fell down.

He was panting heavily, and although he was at his last gasp, the crowd was so frightened by his strength that they dared not breathe or move forward. His reputation as a powerful and invincible overlord still intimidated them.

"A bunch of cowards!" Xiang Yu mocked.

With each step he took, the crowd retreated a step. They wanted to wear him down; after all, victory was imminent, and no one wanted to be dragged down with him when he was pushed to the brink. They just wanted to watch him slowly bleed out, and then they could grab his head and make a name for themselves.

Suddenly, the enemy opposite them parted to make way for them.

The black figure strolled forward leisurely, her graceful figure and long hair cascading down to her waist.

That was Yu Ji, the one he loved, and the one who loved him the most.

"My beloved wife..." Xiang Yu said joyfully upon seeing Yu Ji. Their bodies swept past like thunderbolts; they were destined to live and die together.

Yu Ji smiled and gently stretched out her arms.

"call out--"

Before Xiang Yu could finish speaking, an arrow pierced his chest, spraying hot blood, and his beating heart stopped abruptly.

After years of conquest, Xiang Yu, the mighty overlord who dominated the world, finally met his end at Gaixia.

Were I betrayed?

No, that wasn't the real Yu Ji. The real Yu Ji is already...

His vision began to blur and turn black, a feeling of suffocation surged into his heart, death took over his mind, the image of his lover was still faintly in front of him, but they were about to be separated by death.

A heart-wrenching lament echoed across the empty plains; it was the final cry of the Overlord.

Inside the palace.

"Overlord..."

"what……!"

Xiang Yu suddenly woke up with a shout, his body covered in cold sweat.

"Hoo-ha...hoo-ha"

Xiang Yu breathed heavily, clinging tightly to the feeling of being alive. His eyes looked around, and he suddenly froze.

Beside him lay a naked beauty, like a natural spirit, with an exquisite and delicate face and a captivatingly curvaceous body. She was the darling of the forest and a rare beauty among mortals. That was none other than Yu Ji!

"Yu, what's wrong?" At this moment, Yu Ji looked at him with concern, her jade hand gently stroking his face.

Xiang Yu came to his senses, reached out and hugged her tightly, feeling that familiar warmth. He smiled with relief, but at the same time looked at Yu Ji with complicated emotions.

Yu Ji didn't see Xiang Yu's expression; she leaned happily against his broad, strong shoulder.

How familiar everything was before him. In this sweet night, he dreamt of the rest of his life.

But the feeling of death was not a dream; it felt just as real in a dream.

Tonight, we will receive concrete news that Donghuang Taiyi is in a deep sleep.

"Perhaps the things in my dream will happen in a little while," Xiang Yu thought.

"Report!" Sure enough, a soldier's urgent voice rang out from outside the door.

Yu Ji had already dressed and left quietly, as light as the wind.

"Reporting to the Overlord, the truth of Donghuang Taiyi's slumber has been proven. Our crucial opportunity has arrived!" The soldier recounted the same words as in his dream.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave."

Xiang Yu pondered alone for a while and realized that he might have been reborn, and let's call that "dream" his past life.

Xiang Yu looked at his rough hands, covered in calluses, the fruits of countless trials and tribulations.

Xiang Yu was born with superhuman strength and was brave and skilled in battle. He was the number one warrior below the king and called himself the Hegemon-King of Chu. Because his territory was located west of Yunmeng Marsh, he was also known as the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

He was the first to establish the largest rebel army in Yunmengze. He kicked down a statue, pointed his sword at Donghuang, and shouted words of rebellion. Countless people gathered under his command, making him so dazzling.

He stirred up huge waves in the long-silent Yunmeng Marsh.

At the same time, legend has it that he was the reincarnation of an evil demon king, extremely vicious. But so what? Xiang Yu never believed in reincarnation or destiny, and he disregarded rumors. If overthrowing the rule of the corrupt gods was evil, then atheists must be extremely wicked.

Xiang Yu was filled with determination, his eyes burning with fervor.

Now that he has been reborn and knows what the future holds, he will certainly not repeat the same mistakes.

In this life, he will truly reach the pinnacle and dominate the world!

This time, fate is on my side!

Without delay, Xiang Yu waved his hand and began to make arrangements. He summoned Fan Zeng, his most trusted and resourceful strategist.

"Uncle, the Eastern Emperor's slumber has been confirmed, and an uprising is inevitable. But what are your thoughts on Liu Bang's small rebel army?" Xiang Yu asked. His past experiences had made him less stubborn and he had begun to listen to the opinions of others.

"Your Majesty, I have three plans: invite him to a banquet, behead him, or take him as a dog," Fan Zeng, his hair and beard completely white, said slowly and steadily. Today, he felt that the young and impetuous Xiang Yu had become much more composed.

"Behead him!" Xiang Yu said immediately, slashing downwards with his hand.

Liu Bang was his mortal enemy, and he could not quell his hatred until that despicable man was eliminated. Upon hearing that Fan Zeng had given him three plans, he immediately chose the one that would bring him the most satisfaction.

“No, I’ll treat you.” Fan Zeng shook his head.

"Why?" Xiang Yu frowned.

"It should be said that we cannot kill him now. Liu Bang shares the main military pressure with us in Yunmeng City, which distracts his attention. If we kill him now, Yunmeng City will undoubtedly concentrate all its efforts on dealing with us, which is exactly what the Yin Yang School wants. Moreover, even if our uprising succeeds, the cost will be very high. Before we break through the city, we should advance and retreat together."

Fan Zeng stroked his long beard and continued:

"On the surface, we are on good terms with Liu Bang, but at the same time we put great pressure on him. Without our army, he could not have succeeded in his uprising. He would have to follow our lead. The best way is to use both the big stick and the sweet treat to make him submit to us and become our dog. Of course, if he doesn't obey, we can kill him afterward."

"Hmm... what you say makes sense." Xiang Yu appeared to be listening attentively, indicating that he would adopt Fan Zeng's opinion.

But in his heart, he had already sentenced Liu Bang to death, because he had a future to look forward to and he was eager to change his predetermined life.
