From afar, they saw a man and a horse galloping towards them at high speed, with a murderous aura all over his body. Before the lone rider got close, the Chu soldiers stationed at the camp gate were already frightened, lit more torches, and were ready for battle.
Lu Bu’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he rushed to the front of the camp in the blink of an eye.
He did not even wait for the guards to ask questions, and shouted: "Lü Bu, the commander of the Guanzhong Army, has an urgent mission, why don't you let him go!"
Even though the foolish king was mentally clear and would not send soldiers into the city to kill people in the middle of the night, Lu Bu was still anxious when he thought about the harm this would cause to his overall plan.
Fan Zeng's soldiers rode their horses non-stop for two hours, but as Lu Bu, who was furious, urged the Jade Lion to gallop at full speed, the journey was shortened by half, and they arrived in just over an hour.
He didn't even have time to pay attention to the panting and sweating Jade Lion, so how could he have any good tone to the guards blocking the road
Fortunately, his reputation became more and more famous, and the guards were in awe of him and did not take his bad tone to heart.
They first identified the person by voice, and then used the firelight to see the general outline of the person. Although they were surprised by the gorgeous attire that was completely different from the previous simple attire, they recognized him easily.
Even though he was puzzled as to why the commander would come here alone at night, he made way for him without saying a word.
He was filled with murderous intent and without saying a word, he rushed in through the path they had made way for.
After rushing for a short distance, he suddenly remembered that he did not know the way, so he asked the king where he was in a concise manner and urged his horse forward again.
The soldiers were left staring at the two long red feathers that were moving rapidly left and right, at a loss as to what to do.
Lu Bu came with anger, and relying on his superb riding skills, he galloped at lightning speed in this temporary main camp. In a moment, he arrived in front of the main tent.
Because he came too suddenly and rushed forward so fast, even when he was close, the guards guarding Xiang Yu's tent had not received any notification and were instinctively startled and tried to stop him.
After seeing the cavalry general's appearance clearly, they didn't know whether to be surprised by Lu Bu's eye-catching and unique attire, or by his sudden arrival.
After they were stunned for a moment, one of them came back to his senses first and asked politely, "Why did General Lu come here so suddenly?"
They were no strangers to General Lu, who was highly favored by the king and seemed rough and straightforward in his actions, but was actually ruthless and scheming.
Especially a few days ago when Duke Zhong came to report the results of the battle in Yan, even though the report was brief, from the swift capture of Yan territory, the rapid collapse of the Yan army, and the few words describing the battle... it is not difficult to imagine the heroic figure of General Lu who led the troops and beheaded the enemy general alone, completely establishing the victory.
But why would General Lu come to the main tent in the middle of the night, as if he was going to break in
Lu Bu's face was as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "Military affairs are urgent, and I need to see the king."
Upon hearing that the military affairs were urgent, they had no doubts and immediately ordered one of them to pluck up the courage to go inside and inform the king who had just rested.
However, Xiang Yu was already in a bad mood, and he was exhausted from the march. He lay down for a long time before he fell into a light sleep.
Being suddenly awakened at this moment, he felt extremely bad all of a sudden. Although he said nothing, the look in his cold pupils still made the nervous soldiers shiver all over.
"Report to the king." With a tiger in front and a leopard behind, he had no other choice but to face the piercing gaze, bow down and bite the bullet and say, "General Lu has arrived suddenly, and he has something urgent to report."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the dangerous gaze on his head miraculously ease.
Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, digesting the information.
"Fengxian?"
Unable to hide his surprise, he slowly turned over and sat up, asking in a hoarse voice.
Because of his handsome face and mysterious double pupils, he naturally looked cold and unapproachable. In addition, his sturdy figure was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if he was just sitting simply in his pajamas, he still looked majestic.
-Even the personal soldiers who had served him closely for many years could not tell that the Overlord, with a gloomy face, was not yet fully awake.
He was sincerely relieved that the sharp gaze had moved away, and quickly replied: "It is General Lu, waiting outside the tent. Your Majesty, do you want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yu, who was rubbing his brows to regain consciousness, said decisively, "Let Fengxian come in."
“Yes.”
The interruption made him feel more relaxed. Without wasting a moment, he said to himself, "As expected," and left the tent.
Lu Bu had already surrendered his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and was left unarmed, so he simply stood there with his arms folded.
His brows were tightly furrowed, the corners of his lips were slightly turned down, and his eyes were cold and sharp. It was obvious that he was getting a little impatient.
After being allowed to pass by his personal guards, his face was still as cold as ice chips could fall off, and there was no doubt between his brows that he was not surprised at all. He just nodded casually, then opened the curtain and walked in leisurely.
Although Xiang Yu was still wearing his snow-white pajamas at this time, they were no longer loose and messy as they were when he just woke up. Although he did not deliberately change into casual clothes, he subconsciously smoothed out the wrinkles and put on a thin outer coat.
There were only two lights lit in the tent, the light was dim, reflecting on the tall figure. The long hair that was not tied into a crown was loose, but it did not appear gentle at all, but instead added a bit of coldness.
Xiang Yu stared at the unflickering candlelight for a long while, until he heard Lü Bu's footsteps approaching. He raised his eyes silently and looked at him indifferently: "Fengxian has come suddenly, what's the important matter?"
Lu Bu had no idea that to get such an eight-word question from the mouth of Xiang Yu, who was always frugal with words, and the treatment of just one word "say" in most cases, was rare in the world.
Xiang Yu asked, but he neither answered nor bowed. He just continued to walk towards the main seat where Xiang Yu was with an expressionless face.
Xiang Yu frowned in confusion.
His slightly questioning gaze fell on Lu Bu's face, who had a cold expression, but for some reason, he did not stop the other party from approaching so rudely, nor did he call for the guards to come in, nor did he touch the long sword behind him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and used the dim light to carefully look at Lu Bu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
It was because Lu Bu approached that he gradually saw the other party's unique and fancy attire. Even though he was knowledgeable, his eyes froze instantly.
The slight doubts that had just emerged about Lu Bu's sudden change of attitude were immediately dispelled by the other party's elegant and gorgeous outfit.
Especially the pheasant comb that swayed with his steps, looking very proud, which instantly attracted Xiang Yu's attention.
… Why didn’t he wear the golden crown that he was awarded from the Qin Palace treasury, but instead wore this worthless and strange-looking pheasant crown
Xiang Yu had never had a general with such unique tastes. He was so shocked that his eyes went blank for a moment.
The next moment, he couldn't help but refocus his eyes and look again.
What he valued at first was undoubtedly Lu Bu's courage in entering the Qin Palace alone to kill Ziying and using his head as a token of his loyalty.
On the day of the Qin Palace Banquet Incident, he witnessed with his own eyes how Lu Bu fought against a hundred men and displayed his unparalleled martial arts without being at a disadvantage. He couldn't help but feel that the other party was like him, and he valued his talent even more.
Later, because of his uncle and the relocation of the capital, he began to appreciate the other party's wisdom, strategy, loyalty and bravery more and more.
It was not until now that he realized that Fengxian was not only an outstanding talent, but also a handsome and suave man.
If others wore the same outfit, they would certainly not be able to pull it off, unlike Fengxian, who was calm and unrestrained. He was not at all overwhelmed by the bright colors, but instead overwhelmed by his overwhelming aura, revealing his handsome appearance.
Xiang Yu stared at Lu Bu who was approaching step by step. The shock in his eyes faded away and gradually a bit of admiration emerged.
—Little did they know that at this moment, Lu Bu’s face was as cold as ice and his heart was as boiling as a pot of oil.
Lu Bu himself didn't know that the foolish king was staring at him with a cold and scrutinizing look, simply observing his attire.
It was just that he deliberately ignored the other party's inquiries and kept pressing forward, which made people suspicious.
However, at this moment, Lu Bu was almost driven crazy by the stupid king's stupid move, so why would he care about these things
When he was very close to Xiang Yu, only two steps away, Lu Bu suddenly stopped.
He pursed his thin lips, narrowed his eyes, and raised his chin slightly. All of a sudden, all his aura was released, and he looked down at Xiang Yu who was still sitting there with arrogance and rudeness.
He had an arrogant attitude, but he didn't know that because of his clean-shaven, beardless head, in Xiang Yu's eyes, he only looked... a bit youthful and frivolous.
If someone else had behaved so disrespectfully, Xiang Yu would never have allowed the other person to get close to him. He would have been furious and would have wanted to personally kill the lunatic who had offended him.
But when it came to Lu Bu, Xiang Yu was miraculously extremely tolerant and never showed any anger.
He had been tolerant of this young beloved general, whom he unconsciously thought was quite similar to himself. At this moment, he was first shocked by his attire, and then aroused some curiosity about his sudden change in attitude.
So when faced with Lu Bu's arrogant gaze, he just calmly opened his eyelids, rarely raised his head slightly, and looked into the eyes of his beloved general standing in front of him. For the first time in his life, he did not show any anger at all.
As Lu Bu was still young, he was not as tall as the foolish king yet. Besides, they were usually the master and his servant, so he should not be so presumptuous.
It's a rare opportunity to look down on others, and I feel a little happy.
He stared at the pair of deep, calm pupils, and finally spoke through gritted teeth, but instead of answering, he asked, "I heard that the king will kill the prisoners and massacre the city tomorrow?"
This was indeed the case. Although Xiang Yu subconsciously wondered where Fengxian, who had suddenly arrived, had gotten the news, he still answered without hesitation, "Yes."
—“Snap.”
There was silence all around, but Lu Bu seemed to clearly hear one of the strings that he had kept taut suddenly break.
"Yes?"
Lu Bu was so angry that he laughed.
He repeated it playfully, gnashing his teeth, one of his sword-like eyebrows twitching slightly, but the anger in his tiger eyes became hotter and hotter, even brighter than the candlelight in the tent.
The last bit of his hope was completely shattered by the foolish words that sounded so light and self-righteous to him.
He had a bad temper to begin with, and he had only been trying to persuade her with kind words and in a roundabout way for the sake of the greater good, and he had endured a lot of resentment.
As a result, this foolish king, this foolish king, this foolish king!!!
As Lu Bu's anger continued to rise and he was about to roar to the sky, the doubts in Xiang Yu's pupils became more and more serious.
In his opinion, he just confirmed the other party's question, so why did he make people angry for no reason
Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help asking, "Fengxian has come in such a hurry, what's the important matter?"
You, damn it, have the nerve to ask?!
Looking at this stupid and foolish king who was so stupid that he had to work hard to clean up his mess all the way, Lu Bu tolerated it again and again, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore!
No matter how careful you are, you can't guard against a fool. There is this fool who keeps doing bad things, and he still tries to persuade him with sweet words and a smiling face, but it's all in vain in the end!
Lu Bu's eyebrows were twitching wildly, and his face was burning hot from the rushing blood.
He didn't care that he was unarmed at the moment, that he was in the main tent of the Chu camp, or that the person in front of him was the famous and unparalleled overlord!
When the anger reached its peak, all the strings of rationality broke.
Xiang Yu sat there with a calm but confused look on his face, waiting for Lu Bu's answer.
As a result, before he could get a reply, he heard Lu Bu roar "Ah", and without saying hello, he rushed forward and knocked him to the ground!
Lu Bu knew clearly in his mind: this Overlord who made such a foolish move had lost the support of the people, and was destined to commit suicide by slashing his throat in some unlucky river. His own revenge plan would also be in vain, and he would have worked for nothing for several months... Anyone who caught him would be so angry that he would faint!
He has never been one to hide his temper, and after enduring it for so long, he can no longer bear it.
Thinking that he would do it once and for all, Lu Bu, with red eyes, beat the useless Overlord with his fists in a rebellious manner, and shouted even more rebelliously: "My priority is to fight with you, a fool!!!"
