Chapter 242: Chapter 151: [Julu Face-Off] A Man Fiercer Than Gao Chong (7k Double-Length)
Watching Lu Wan trotting over, everyone was speechless.
Liu Bang also felt a headache coming on.
If it weren’t for their close relationship, and Lu Wan following him since the start of the uprising, Liu Bang would’ve thought he was a spy sent by the Chu army with that suggestion Lu Wan made yesterday.
Duel with Xiang Yu one-on-one?
How much did he drink to get that drunk?
Liu Bang waved him off as Lu Wan approached:
"Why are you here? Stop messing things up."
"Hurry up and go back."
Fei Lang (Lu Wan) chuckled:
"My lord, take me along."
"I’ll boost your morale."
Hearing this.
Everyone looked at him with disdain—what could he do? Boost morale?
Liu Bang initially wanted to refuse.
But then Zhang Liang, with an expressionless face, nudged Liu Bang. Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and suddenly understood the hint, then turned to Fei Lang (Lu Wan) and said:
"Alright."
"Someone, prepare another horse."
With that, he turned and mounted up, leaving others dumbfounded.
Why take along someone like Lu Wan, who is of no use?
In fact, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang understood that this trip to the Banquet at Hongmen was to show weakness to Xiang Yu, and they must inevitably appear somewhat pathetic.
Liu Bang himself didn’t mind; he was shameless to begin with.
Zhang Liang, naturally, was even clever.
But others, like Fan Kuai, might not get it. If Lu Wan joined in, wouldn’t he fit the bill perfectly?
So in Liu Bang’s view.
If he appeared pathetic, and Zhang Liang a bit more pathetic, adding Lu Wan into the mix in front of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu wouldn’t worry about a damn thing.
These timid fools think they can compete with me for the world?
Then everything would settle just fine.
So.
The original "Banquet at Hongmen" wouldn’t have Lu Wan, but due to the intervention of Blue Star players, he joined in.
It’s just uncertain what awaits Fei Lang....
At this moment, inside Fei Lang’s livestream room.
Playing Lu Wan riding along with Liu Bang and the others for half a day.
But hanging at the back of the group, interacting with the livestream.
Seeing that Liu Bang and others didn’t notice, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) touched his sleeve:
"Brothers, are you sure?"
"I don’t understand poison."
"Are you sure a scratch is lethal?"
The barrage in the livestream surged:
[Don’t worry, someone has already tested it. Ancient Huaxia plants can indeed be concocted into a potent poison.]
[Host, restrain Xiang Yu first, then kill him after leaving the Chu camp—otherwise, if you kill him in the Chu camp, you’d all be dead.]
[But Xiang Yu is a general after all, isn’t he hard to deal with?]
[A general is still human. He can’t react within three steps. Pull out the dagger and go straight for his neck, see if he gets numb?]
[Exactly, and remember to shout that the dagger is poisoned once you restrain him. Even a scratch is fatal, so Xiang Yu won’t dare to move recklessly!]
Taking note of the suggestions in the livestream, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) nodded and remembered them.
First, offer a toast and get within three steps.
Draw out the dagger, and when Xiang Yu doesn’t react, hold it to his neck.
Restrain Xiang Yu....
Touching the sleeve, the feel of the dagger brought Fei Lang (Lu Wan) some confidence.
Suddenly.
His wrist was grabbed, and Liu Bang’s voice rang out:
"Lu Wan, why do you keep touching your wrist?"
"Hiding money?"
Fei Lang (Lu Wan) was startled; he didn’t know when Liu Bang had fallen back from the front, now grabbing his wrist.
Due to being on a horse, it was hard to pull hard, so Fei Lang (Lu Wan) hurriedly said:
"No... no...!!!"
However.
Everyone had already suspected, and Liu Bang directly yanked his wrist over, almost pulling Fei Lang (Lu Wan) off the horse, and the dagger tied to his wrist fell to the ground.
Clang!
The scene went silent for a moment.
Everyone on Liu Bang’s side was dumbfounded, staring at Lu Wan blankly.
You really dared?!
Zhang Liang, forever expressionless, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye at the sight of the dagger on the ground.
Initially, he thought Lu Wan was a traitor, but now it seemed....
Fan Kuai, who was straightforward, had his mouth agape.
He thought Lu Wan was deliberately trying to harm him yesterday, but it turned out this guy actually prepared a dagger himself, intending to assassinate Xiang Yu... So he was just really stupid?!
Did I wrong him yesterday?!
After all, from Fan Kuai’s perspective, advising him to duel Xiang Yu—weren’t you trying to harm me?
But the one who made this suggestion....
Actually prepared a small dagger to assassinate Xiang Yu?
Isn’t this complete idiocy?!
Who are you to think you can assassinate Xiang Yu?
Seeing everyone’s stunned faces, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed:
"Well... um... this..."
"I carry it for convenience, to cut things with. Do you believe me?"
Liu Bang rolled his eyes and gave him a kick, almost toppling Fei Lang (Lu Wan) from the horse:
"Do you think I believe that?!"
"Are you trying to get us killed, Lu Wan?!!"
"If Xiang Yu found out!"
"We’d be chopped up before getting in the door!"
"Don’t you have a brain?!"
Fan Kuai, seeing the commotion, rode over and dismounted, wanting to pick up the dagger. Seeing this, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) quickly shouted:
"Don’t touch it! The blade is poisoned!"
"Touch it and you’ll die!"
Hearing this.
Everyone gasped, and Liu Bang’s head started throbbing:
"You’ve even poisoned it?!"
He flicked his horsewhip in his hand—snap!
It struck Fei Lang (Lu Wan), who dodged while riding away:
"Hey, hey, hey—!"
"I’m doing it for our own good, my lord!"
