Teasing the First Dragon at the Start

Bai Su felt the softness on her lips and smiled as she watched Yu Ji's awkward movements.

He responded skillfully and launched an attack, his right hand crawling over Yu Ji's waist and slowly slipping into her red undergarment.

Yu Ji, a novice, was no match for Bai Su, a seasoned veteran. Her eyes widened in surprise, and her delicate body stiffened for a moment.

She felt as if she were a small boat being tossed about in a river, her mind completely blank.

For a moment, only heavy breathing could be heard in the room.

Yu Ji's body went limp, her large eyes filled with a dazed look, and she lay down on the bed.

Bai Su has been busy with government affairs these days, and has been suppressing his feelings for a long time. However, due to the importance of important matters and his dislike of forcing others, he has been enduring it.

Seeing the alluring Yu Ji, he naturally launched an attack without hesitation.

Bai Su snatched the undergarment away, and it fluttered onto the table, revealing a captivating body on the bed. Bai Su slowly pressed down on her.

A gentle breeze blew, and the candlelight went out.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and after a short while, a painful cry came from inside the room, followed by increasingly rapid breathing.

Like waves, like tides...

Chapter 319 Xiang Yu's Chest Hurts

Amidst a sea of ​​fire, ashes fell like snowflakes. Xiang Yu, his face slightly blackened by smoke, rode his famous steed, Wuzhui, and wielded his heavy spear, sweeping away the collapsing roof beams.

She cleared a path through the flames, then tightened the reins and shouted back, "Longqi, are you... alright?"

"General, I'm alright..."

A female general clad in silver armor, her white cloak scorched, rode her horse through the sea of ​​fire. She casually tossed aside her burning cloak and said, "However... of the five thousand soldiers we led, only one-tenth remain."

Xiang Yu was taken aback and turned around to look.

Of the five thousand soldiers who once followed her, less than eight hundred remained.

This was the first time she had suffered a crushing defeat since the arrival of the Jiangdong cavalry, and the defeat was inexplicable.

Looking at the scene before her, she bit her lip hard and gripped the spear tightly in her hand. Damn it, damn it, what is going on?

Despite acting according to the secret message sent by Yu Ji, they were ambushed by the Xia army.

Forget about food supplies, the city was already deserted. A large amount of firewood, straw, and oil had been prepared in advance, making it a trap that was clearly prepared for them.

Long Ju hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "General, do you think Miss Yu Ji might have betrayed us?"

Xiang Yu glared at her fiercely: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Yu Ji and I grew up together since childhood, we were childhood sweethearts, like brothers. How could she betray me? You...you can't slander her like this in front of me."

Seeing this, Long Qie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This humble general would naturally not dare to slander Miss Yu Ji so easily, but tonight's events are just too coincidental. First, Miss Yu Ji sent someone to deliver the blueprints, and after we finally captured the city, we found that it was an empty city, and the people inside had already moved away."

"There isn't a single grain of rice in the city, only things that are easy to ignite. If no one is cooperating to lure us into attacking, why would the Xia army be lying in ambush here?"

Xiang Yu bit his red lips tightly, his heart filled with complex emotions.

The current scene looks exactly like Yu Ji betraying the enemy; otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence.

Despite this, deep down she still refused to admit that Yu Ji would do such a thing.

After all, the two grew up together in Jiangdong and were as close as brothers. How could Yu Ji, who once smiled gently, held her hand and made a promise, wiped her cheek and bandaged her wounds, betray her?

After a long silence, she finally spoke: "Perhaps... this is just a trap set by the enemy..."

Xiang Yu's voice suddenly stopped, he clutched his chest, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Long Ju asked with concern, "General, what's wrong? Did you get injured by accident?"

Xiang Yu shook his head: "No, no one has ever been able to get even half a step closer to me."

Seeing that Xiang Yu was unharmed, except for his face being blackened by smoke, Long Ju breathed a sigh of relief: "General, what happened to you...?"

Xiang Yu looked at her trembling hands and said in a daze, "I...I don't know what happened. I just feel like something important is leaving me."

Long Ju thought Xiang Yu was referring to the loss of several thousand soldiers, so he immediately comforted him, saying, "General, there is no need to blame yourself. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Although it is a pity to lose several thousand cavalry, it does not affect the overall situation. As long as we adjust our state, we can fight back."

"That's true..."

Xiang Yu nodded slightly and led her cavalry out of the city gate. Before leaving, she looked back at the city wall.

A banner shaped like a black bird was seen flapping its wings under the heat of the flames, as if dancing in the fire.

For some reason, she felt a strange tightness in her chest.

Is it just an illusion?

......

In a dimly lit room, a faint candlelight flickered.

Yu Ji's body swayed continuously, as beautiful as a work of art.

It's so hot.

It looked as if it were on fire.

Sweat kept seeping from her skin, clinging to her fair body, glistening and translucent. Yu Ji's eyes were filled with a dazed look.

As sweat continued to seep out, a faint, delicate fragrance filled the room—a surprising presence: a natural body odor.

But Yu Ji was completely unaware of this; she had completely lost her mind and was making meaningless noises.

The whole person felt like a free bird, flying in the clouds.

.......

On the chaotic battlefield.

Zhang Han, dressed in a black skirt armor, her jet-black hair tied up in a neat ponytail, stood coldly on the city wall, watching Xiang Yu fall into the ambush and try to escape. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She came from an ordinary background and was not particularly outstanding among the younger generation, but Bai Su specially promoted her to be a general accompanying the army during this trip south.

Faced with such a promotion from the Grand Chancellor, how could she possibly betray Bai Su's trust?

Now that Xiang Yu is about to break out of the western city where she is stationed, she must perform well and live up to the trust that the Grand Chancellor has placed in her.

She took a deep breath: "All troops, listen up! Prepare to fire arrows! Take down Xiang Yu!"

In an instant, countless torches lit up the once dark city walls, and then archers aimed their chilling arrows at the oncoming Chu army and pulled the triggers.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Arrows rained down from the sky, striking and killing many Chu soldiers who were caught off guard.

Long Qi's pupils suddenly contracted: "Not good, there's an ambush, be careful..."

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and brandished his spear, which, like an impenetrable wall, shattered the incoming arrows.

He even grabbed an arrowhead with one hand and threw it towards the city wall.

An archer who was loading arrows was hit squarely by an incoming arrow. The force of the arrow carried him away, and with a "bang," he was pinned to the stone wall behind him.

Zhang Han glanced at the fate of the archers, his eyelids twitched involuntarily, and when he looked down at Xiang Yu again, he saw him as a monster.

No wonder the Grand General was so cautious; this Xiang Yu is simply a monster.

She took a deep breath and ordered, "All troops, listen to my command! Fire arrows! Make sure Xiang Yu is captured..."

Astride his magnificent steed, Wuzhui, Xiang Yu held his spear in one hand, looking at the terrified Xia army on the city wall, and sneered: "You think you can stop me? Charge out with me..."

Although there were less than 800 soldiers left, their momentum was like that of an army of 100,000, and their imposing aura was terrifying.

.......

Inside the room, Yu Ji raised her head, revealing her snow-white swan neck, and exclaimed in surprise.

She gripped the windowsill with both hands, looking down at the porcelain reflection beside her. She saw her disheveled reflection in the porcelain, her dark hair completely soaked and clinging to her pretty face. Her brows relaxed, and her eyes, like black pearls, were filled with tears. The reflection of Zi'e in the porcelain showed an expression she had never seen before.

Yu Ji felt a wave of shame and wanted to say something, but before she could utter a single word, her words became meaningless.

The faint candlelight flickered and danced.

As she watched the flickering flames, she vaguely saw Xiang Yu's figure standing in front of her, but the figure gradually faded, as if it was being replaced by Bai Su's face.

A complex emotion suddenly welled up from the depths of her heart, causing her to subconsciously reach out and touch the firelight.

......

On the battlefield.

Xiang Yu rode alone, brandishing his Overlord Spear, like a war god reborn, emerging from the sea of ​​fire. Anyone who dared to stand in her way was either sent flying by his spear or trampled on the chest by the high-raised hooves of his black steed.

A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out.

Despite Zhang Han's various encirclements, he still couldn't stop Xiang Yu's advance.

In the instant the city gate was breached, as the burning wood flew everywhere, it seemed to coalesce into the figure of a woman.

Xiang Yu recognized her as Yu Ji, who seemed to be crying and reaching out her hand.

She subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab Yu Ji's hand. It seemed like she was about to grasp it, but each time she was just a hair's breadth away. The tiny distance felt like an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth, and she could only watch helplessly as Yu Ji drifted further and further away from her.

"do not go……"

"General, what are you saying? Who are you telling not to leave?"

A girl's voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out.

Xiang Yu suddenly came to his senses and looked closely. A young girl with a sword on her back and eyes as calm as still water was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

She was taken aback: "Han Xin, what brings you here? Where is Yu Ji?"

Han Xin explained, "I returned from the garrison and reported to the King of Chu, but after seeing that map, I clearly felt something was wrong. I guessed that this might be a trap set by the enemy, so I sent troops to meet them outside the city. Now I see that it is indeed so."

"As for Yu Ji... I only saw the general leading his troops out of the city; I didn't see anyone else."

Xiang Yu was stunned. He turned around and found that he had unknowingly fought his way out of the city, with hundreds of soldiers behind him collapsing on the ground, exhausted, to rest.

As for Zhang Han's troops, seeing the smoke and dust rising in the distant valley, they were deceived by Han Xin's feint and retreated to avoid being ambushed.

Xiang Yu recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but mutter, "Since Yu Ji isn't here, then what I just saw was..."

Han Xin said, "Perhaps it's because you've been fighting your way through the fire, General, that you've inadvertently experienced some hallucinations."

Was what I just saw a hallucination?

Xiang Yu recalled Yu Ji reaching out to him, seemingly calling out to him, and his expression became complicated.
