My sister is Luna

Cain and his group finally arrived at Hongmen.

The military camp here is even larger than Liu Bang's, and it exudes a chilling atmosphere. Theoretically, it overwhelms Liu Bang in both numbers and combat strength.

Guided by a Chu soldier, they arrived at a palace.

Xiang Yu sat upright on his throne, exuding the aura of iron and blood from years of battles. His tall body stood like a heavy mountain, commanding respect without anger and radiating domineering power.

Upon hearing the rustling of the curtain, three people entered. Their gazes, sharp as heavy swords, instantly locked onto Liu Bang, who was facing them, as if they wanted to pierce him through.

"The person who came here is not good..."

Feeling immense pressure, Liu Bang broke out in a cold sweat and whispered to Zhang Liang beside him, "I regret coming."

He didn't understand why Xiang Yu was so hostile towards him, even though it was their first meeting.

“We are the ones who came here,” Zhang Liang calmly corrected.

"Commander Liu, please sit down," Xiang Yu's steady voice came.

Now that he was already there, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go through all the procedures. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. For the sake of his great cause, Liu Bang would endure it.

"Thank you, King Xiang!" Upon hearing Xiang Yu's words, Liu Bang quickly offered his thanks. He knew that negotiations had begun.

At the Feast at Hongmen, Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo sat facing east, Fan Zeng, the advisor to Xiang Yu, sat facing south, Liu Bang sat facing north, and Zhang Liang and Kai Yin sat facing west. This showed their contempt for Liu Bang and the others. As guests, they were seated in the lowest seats, yet Xiang Yu remained arrogant.

Liu Bang knew this, of course, but he neither said nor showed it; he simply kept it in his mind.

Sitting beside him, Zhang Liang remained silent. Cain wasn't too worried. Apart from Xiang Yu, the others were just small fry, and with Zhang Liang by his side, he could ensure Liu Bang's escape no matter what happened.

"Let's begin the banquet," Xiang Yu waved his hand.

Fine food and wine were served one by one, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang chatted casually, but never mentioned Yunmeng City. During this time, Xiang Yu's eyes never left Liu Bang, making Liu Bang feel uneasy and tormented.

"This is really boring to say, let's add some fun."

"Xiang Yu is right," Liu Bang echoed.

"How about I personally perform a sword dance for you to liven things up, as a way of apologizing for my poor hospitality?" With that, Xiang Yu beckoned a soldier to fetch a sword.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then the air instantly became tense, with no one daring to say a wrong word.

The Feast at Hongmen, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, his intention was always on Liu Bang? Where's Xiang Zhuang? How did it become Xiang Yu's sword dance? This is the world of Honor of Kings, oh well, never mind.

Cain was lost in thought; he never expected things to turn out this way.

Fan Zeng was surprised that Xiang Yu still wouldn't listen to his advice and even wanted to step down and kill Liu Bang himself. His unchanging attitude made Fan Zeng curse him in his heart, thinking that this brat was not worth planning with.

But he quickly said:

"Your Majesty is the leader of the rebel army, and we all follow him. How can you do this? It would be a loss of face. If you want to perform the sword dance, then find someone else. Someone, go and call Xiang Zhuang."

"Yes, yes, we all follow Xiang Yu's lead. I am just an unknown junior, and I do not need Xiang Yu's favor. This is really inappropriate." Liu Bang swallowed his displeasure and quickly said.

On the surface, Liu Bang appeared calm and composed, but sweat was pouring down his back. He was so anxious that he wanted to run away immediately. He didn't understand what he had done to offend Xiang Yu, and the murderous intent emanating from him made his heart pound.

"Then I, the king, cannot be aloof and arrogant. Only by being approachable can I win people's hearts. I was already impolite today due to negligence. If I don't apologize, I won't be at peace. Please give me some face and don't refuse. I hope my sword dance will bring Brother Liu a wonderful experience!"

Xiang Yu stood up from his seat, waved his hand, and spoke righteously.

Although he really wanted to kill Liu Bang immediately, he had to put on a convincing act.

Xiang Yu, in a display of heroic swordplay, accidentally dropped his sword and fatally stabbed Liu Bang. Overwhelmed with grief and remorse, Xiang Yu, to atone for his sins, absorbed Liu Bang's army, carried on his dying wish, conquered Yunmeng City, and unified Yunmeng Marsh to comfort Liu Bang's spirit in heaven. How pleasing to the ear! Xiang Yu was very satisfied with his plan.

"Your Majesty..." Fan Zeng wanted to offer further advice.

"Alright, Father, bring the sword." Xiang Yu interrupted him and took the sword that the soldier threw to him.

He looked at the sword in his hand with satisfaction. It was an unsheathed, blunt sword. But with Xiang Yu's divine power, would it make a difference whether it was unsheathed or not?

Liu Bang immediately wanted to stand up and run away, but Cain held his shoulder and gave him a reassuring look. Zhang Liang, who was standing nearby, also nodded.

"Alright, alright, thank you very much, King Xiang..." Liu Bang could only swallow bitterly, feeling somewhat at ease with two experts protecting him.

"Music, start! Haha!"

After speaking, Xiang Yu laughed loudly, took a step forward, and jumped to the center of the crowd with his sword. He moved his feet slightly and began to wield his sword. The sword light flashed and the air waves were endless. The soaring fighting spirit, coupled with the urgent and intense music, made it seem as if he was really on the battlefield fighting to the death. His feet were also intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to Liu Bang in time with the music.

Liu Bang stared blankly, his clenched hands covered in cold sweat, his heart screaming for it to end quickly!

Fate is truly wondrous. The same plot unfolds only because one person's thoughts change. When Xiang Yu didn't want to kill Liu Bang, Fan Zeng advised him to kill Liu Bang. When Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang, Fan Zeng advised him not to kill Liu Bang. Fate always makes them unable to avoid staging this great drama.

Liu Bang always had to experience a thrilling life-or-death ordeal.

Xiang Yu's sword dance was always aimed at Liu Bang!

Everyone present could see it, but no one dared to point it out.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu slipped and threw his blunt sword at Liu Bang with a swift, lightning-fast motion, accompanied by a faint whooshing sound.

The moment that will change history has arrived.

Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with wild joy, and no one seemed to have reacted yet.

"Ding!"

A long sword appeared instantly. Cain blocked the blunt sword in front of Liu Bang, and with a slight effort, he flicked the blunt sword upwards, piercing a hole in the roof.

"Zheng——"

The music stopped abruptly as if it had been choked, Fan Zeng's hand, which was holding a wine glass, froze, and the room fell silent.

Ok? !

Having previously focused on Liu Bang, Xiang Yu only now noticed Cain, and was immediately startled. His brows furrowed slightly, and he was filled with astonishment.

Who is he?! I've never seen him in my past life. Wasn't he Fan Kuai who accompanied Liu Bang? Fate has changed...

While pondering, Xiang Yu abandoned his murderous intent, his anger turning into a smile. He changed his plan and decided to let Liu Bang live a little longer.

Even if fate has changed slightly now, Liu Bang's destiny may change, his ending may change, but one thing will never change: the information he knew in his previous life will help him eliminate all his rivals!

"Brave warrior, thanks to you, otherwise I would have caused a tragedy. Guards, bestow upon me a pig's shoulder! Brother Liu Bang, I am truly sorry, I accidentally slipped my hand, I apologize to you here."

"it's okay no problem……"

Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his life was no longer in danger, and Xiang Yu had become friendly towards him. He couldn't help but wonder if what had just happened was a test from Xiang Yu—a test of whether he was worthy of being an ally.

Cain, who had returned to Liu Bang's side, handed the Crimson Sword back to him and shook hands with him.

It seems I underestimated Xiang Yu. He's incredibly strong, with about 80% of my strength. He truly deserves the title of Overlord... He thought to himself as he ate a large piece of pork shoulder.

“Brother Liu, now that the young Emperor Donghuang is asleep, this is the perfect opportunity to send him back to heaven. Yunmeng Marsh cannot allow these parasites to continue causing harm…”

"Yes, Brother Xiang, the people's hearts are with us. Those so-called gods have been exploiting us too much..."

"The land in Yunmeng City is in an excellent location, rich and humid, and situated in the heart of the area..."

They chatted freely, as if Yunmeng City were already a lamb to the slaughter, and they were deciding how to divide it up, the atmosphere was peaceful.

"How about we play a game? Whoever enters Yunmeng City first can claim the land and become king," Xiang Yu suddenly said with a cryptic smile.

"Xiang Yu truly possesses great courage; a gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

A burning desire flashed in Liu Bang's eyes as he raised his wine cup. Yunmeng City was the central city of Yunmeng Marsh, and its prosperity far surpassed that of Hongmen and Bashang. Owning it was equivalent to owning the entire Yunmeng Marsh, so he immediately accepted the offer. He never let any opportunity slip by.

You only said to enter Yunmeng City first, but you didn't say how to do it. Whether it's a direct and open attack or a sneaky attack from behind, as long as you enter first, that's fine, right? Liu Bang chuckled inwardly.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Xiang Yu smiled slightly, trying his best to hide the contempt in his eyes, and clinked glasses with Liu Bang across the distance.

"Hahaha..." The two men, each with their own ulterior motives, burst into hearty laughter.

The Feast at Hongmen ended harmoniously with this promise.

The outcome of the battle will be decided in the uprising that follows.
