"Qin Jun!"

Kong Teng's horrified voice suddenly sounded, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his soul. It was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

"It's over! The Qin army is coming!!"

Wei Wuji’s cry became even more shrill, making people’s hearts tremble violently.

The feeling of despair instantly spread in the air, like an invisible haze, covering the entire manor.

"Run!!!"

Desperate cries echoed in the manor, followed by a flurry of footsteps. Everyone fled in all directions like headless flies, and fear was like a thorn in the flesh, tightly gripping everyone's heart.

The shouts outside the door suddenly arose, and the voices were full of uncontrollable fear, which made Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the room feel nervous. After a while, the people who had just run out in panic ran back in a panic, their faces as pale as paper.

Kong Teng's face was filled with despair, his body trembling constantly. He looked at Xiang Liang and said anxiously, "Lord Xiang Liang, what should we do now?"

"Lord Xiang Liang! Please think of a solution quickly." Others also echoed, their voices full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Yes, let's think of a solution quickly!" The voices of the crowd rose one after another, full of fear of an unknown fate.

"Today's incident must have been reported by Peng Ze!" Someone gnashed his teeth and said. Anger and despair intertwined, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Everyone was so anxious that they were like headless flies, running around in the room, their footsteps chaotic and hurried. Their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety, not knowing how to face the approaching Qin army.

"Why panic? At worst, we can just fight our way out!"

Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of disdain. His tall body was like a towering mountain, exuding a fearless aura: "If you are afraid of death, you can kneel down and beg for mercy, begging the Qin army to let you live!"

Xiang Liang's face was solemn, his eyes quickly scanned the people around him, his brain was working rapidly. Panic would not help at this moment, he had to make a quick decision. Xiang Liang said in a deep voice: "Xiang Yu, gather all the capable men and prepare to break out."

Xiang Yu heard this, and his eyes lit up with fighting spirit. He shouted, "Follow me!"

He turned around and went to gather people.

Seeing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu so courageous, the crowd also gained some courage. Some of the servants who were originally panicked also stood up and held the simple weapons in their hands tightly.

But when everyone looked at the Qin army's formation, the courage they had just mustered immediately disappeared.

At this time, the manor was surrounded by a large number of Qin troops like an iron barrel. The dark Qin troops kept rushing in like a tide. At a glance, it seemed as if the boundless darkness was about to swallow everything.

The armor on the Qin soldiers flashed a cold light in the sun, which made people shudder. The weapons in their hands exuded a chilling murderous aura, and the sharp edges of the swords glowed coldly, ready to reap lives at any time. The battle flags fluttered in the wind, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

What made everyone despair was that in the Qin army formation, there was a group of archers neatly lined up. The Qin crossbows in their hands exuded a deadly threat. The crossbows were made of hard wood and metal, with hard lines and full of power. The crossbow strings were taut, as if they could burst out with powerful force at any time.

The Qin army slowly parted like a tide, and a general in leather armor rode a black horse and walked out majestically. The black horse was tall and strong, with powerful hooves, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of the crowd.

Han Xin glanced at everyone in the manor, raised his chin slightly, and shouted loudly:

"I am Han Xin, the captain of the Qin Empire! Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, you can't escape today, why don't you surrender?"

Xiang Liang stood behind the door, glaring at Han Xin, straightened his spine, and shouted loudly: "My Xiang family would rather die than surrender! The tyranny of Qin is the outrage of the world!"

Xiang Yu was even more furious. He swung the long halberd in his hand fiercely, and a sharp whistle sounded in the air. He shouted, "Han Xin, if you want to fight, then fight. I, Xiang Yu, will never be afraid. You want us to surrender, there is no way!"

Han Xin frowned slightly and spoke again: "Resistance is futile, quickly put down your weapons and surrender! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand in a clean and neat movement. Following his gesture, the Qin army in front dispersed, and the crossbowmen quickly drew their strings and aimed at the manor.

"We surrender! Don't kill me!!!"

Kong Teng ran out of the yard, his legs shaking, barely able to stand. He knelt on the ground, his face full of fear.

"Don't kill me! I surrender too!"

"I surrender!"

Seeing that the Qin army simply tied up Kong Teng and dragged him aside, the rest of the people also ran out of the yard and knelt on the ground.

"Cowardless rat!"

Xiang Yu looked at these people with bloodshot eyes. His heart was filled with anger and disappointment. He couldn't believe that these people chose to surrender so easily.

Xiang Yu turned to look at Xiang Liang and said through gritted teeth: "Uncle, I will never surrender. I will fight them to the death!"

Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu, his heart full of contradictions. He knew Xiang Yu's bravery and determination, but he also understood that facing the Qin crossbowmen, even if Xiang Yu had the courage of ten thousand men, it would be in vain. They had no armor protection, and if they rushed out, they would only be shot like hedgehogs.

Xiang Liang looked at the Qin army outside the courtyard, sighed, and said: "Yu'er...surrender. If it's just a few hundred soldiers, we still have hope of breaking out of the siege, but a hundred crossbowmen...we can't make a meaningless sacrifice. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood!"

Xiang Liang's voice was full of helplessness and pain. He knew that this was a difficult decision, but in order to save his life, he had to temporarily give in.

Xiang Yu held the halberd tightly, his eyes full of reluctance and anger, but he also understood his uncle's difficulties. In the end, Xiang Yu slowly put down the halberd, his heart full of humiliation and helplessness.

Han Xin looked at Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu who came out empty-handed, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He waved his hand, and the Qin soldiers quickly stepped forward and tied up Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and others tightly.

The bound Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were filled with reluctance. They knew that this surrender was only temporary. They secretly vowed that once they had the chance, they would rise again.

"Who is Liu Bang?"

When Han Xin saw that Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, whom the Prime Minister had instructed to take special care of, were tied up tightly, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the people who were being held aside by the soldiers.

Liu Bang was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly. A trace of panic and fear flashed in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily. He subconsciously wanted to shrink behind other people.

However, his actions were seen by Han Xin. Han Xin immediately smiled and pointed at Liu Bang: "Tie him up with the Xiang family."

"promise!"

Several soldiers responded and quickly walked towards Liu Bang, pushing him out roughly. Liu Bang staggered and almost fell to the ground. The soldiers mercilessly added a few more ropes and tied Liu Bang up tightly.

"My life is over!"

Liu Bang secretly groaned in his heart. His face became paler and his lips trembled slightly. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, wondering if he still had the possibility of escaping. However, under this heavy siege, he felt as if he was trapped in a desperate situation from which he could not escape. …………………

Ten days later, the prison car finally arrived in Xianyang after a long journey.

The grandeur and majesty of Xianyang City exuded an inviolable atmosphere under the sun, but for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the prison car, it was like a huge cage.

He ordered his men to escort the others to the court prison, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were escorted to Zhao Mansion alone by Han Xin.

“Go in!!”

The soldiers' shouts were rough and loud. Under their strong push, the two men staggered, their bodies shook violently, and they almost couldn't stand steadily as they walked into the gloomy dungeon.

As the heavy iron door slammed shut, a sharp sound of metal collision was heard, echoing in this closed space. The two men knew that the dungeon had been locked tightly.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu looked at each other, Xiang Yu frowned slightly, and walked in first. Liu Bang was nervous and hurriedly followed Xiang Yu closely.

The deep dungeon was filled with a damp and decaying smell. The faint light penetrated with difficulty through the narrow gaps high up, casting strange shadows that swayed on the walls and floor of the dungeon, as if ghosts were dancing in the dark.

The two of them walked slowly into the depths of the dungeon, their footsteps seemed particularly heavy in the silence. They stopped and looked around, the darkness was like a huge net, tightly enveloping them.

"Who?!"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and the voice seemed to come from the depths of hell.

"Who!? Who is playing tricks?!"

Liu Bang was startled by the sudden sound, his body trembled violently, and he quickly huddled behind Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu clenched his fists vigilantly, scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

"Who are you?!"

Xiang Yu shouted loudly, and the sound echoed in this closed space. In the dark corner, a vague figure slowly stood up. As Xiang Yu gradually approached, the outline of the figure became clearer and clearer.

"Ogawa??"

Xiang Yu took a closer look and found that it was Yi Xiaochuan whom he had not seen for a long time. However, the once handsome and high-spirited Yi Xiaochuan was now unkempt. His hair was tangled together, as if it had not been combed for a long time. His face was covered with dirt, and his originally bright eyes were now shrouded in fatigue, losing their former brilliance.

Listening to Xiang Yu's words, Liu Bang carefully poked his head out and took a closer look. Who else could this be but Yi Xiaochuan? It was just that Liu Bang almost failed to recognize him because of his current appearance.

“Brother? …Brother??”

When he recognized Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then a complex emotion surged into his heart like a tide. His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with surprise and confusion: "Brother!?? It's you? How come you were also arrested?"

"Ogawa! Are you still alive?"

Liu Bang's eyes widened in astonishment, his face full of surprise and disbelief: "I thought you were killed by that bastard Zhao Gao!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Liu Bang, his eyes showing both joy of reunion and a hint of reproach: "Brother, how come you were also arrested? You have always been smart, how did you end up like this?"

"It's over. Zhao Gao will definitely not let me go." Thinking about his situation, Liu Bang said with a bitter face. His face was full of despair, as if he had seen his tragic end: "My life is over. I don't know how Zhao Gao will deal with us."

Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly. When he mentioned Zhao Gao, hatred welled up in his heart. The man who had traveled with him through time had now become his greatest enemy: "Zhao Gao... He is now in power, and I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."

Xiang Yu watched the two men chatting, silent. His tall figure stood out in this small dungeon, and he exuded a repressive aura. His eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment, and he was still upset that Yi Xiaochuan chose to support Liu Bang instead of helping him. In Xiang Yu's heart, the friendship between brothers should be firm and pure, and Yi Xiaochuan's choice made him feel betrayed.

Yi Xiaochuan was a little puzzled when he noticed Xiang Yu's unfamiliar attitude. Just when he was about to ask about the two's recent situation, a sound of footsteps came from a distance. The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent dungeon.

"You guys get out!"

"promise!!"

A familiar voice sounded in the dungeon, and then torches lit up, illuminating the small space.

Glancing at the three people, Yi Huawei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and slowly said: "Do you feel a little surprised to meet old friends?"

"you……"

As soon as Liu Bang saw Yi Huawei, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes revealed deep fear and uneasiness, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily. He had once caused Zhao Gao to become a eunuch, and now he was in his hands, he was afraid that he would be in danger. Countless terrible consequences flashed through his mind quickly, and his heart was filled with despair.

Xiang Yu glared at Yi Huawei without saying a word, clenching his fists tightly, as if trying hard to suppress his anger.

Yi Xiaochuan lowered his head, trying to hide the hatred in his eyes and suppress his emotions.

Yi Huawei looked at Liu Bang and chuckled, "Liu Ji, we meet again. You are doing well in Mangdang Mountain, why did you come out?"

Seeing the smile on Yi Huawei's face, Liu Bang felt a chill running straight from his feet to his heart. His legs softened involuntarily, and he knelt down heavily with a thump: "Lord Zhao, I was confused at the time, please spare my life! I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, and children who are crying for food..."

As Liu Bang spoke, he pressed his forehead tightly against the ground, not daring to look up at Yi Huawei's expression, fearing that he would see the resolute killing intent on his face. At this desperate moment, Liu Bang knew that he had no way out, so he could only put aside his dignity and beg for Yi Huawei's forgiveness.

"Haha! A crying child? Who gave birth to you?"

Yi Huawei glanced at Liu Bang, ignored his plea for mercy, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Xiang Yu: "Xiang Yu... we meet again. I said I would let you go three times. I let you go once last time, and this time counts as the second time. Go!"

Yi Huawei's voice was calm, but it shocked everyone present.

"what?!"

Xiang Yu was shocked and frowned. He was confused as he never understood why Zhao Gao let him go three times.

Looking at Yi Huawei, Xiang Yu asked suspiciously: "Zhao Gao, what conspiracy do you have? Are you setting a trap for me to fall into?"

Yi Huawei shook his head slightly and smiled faintly:
"It's okay if you don't understand. Just remember that this is the second time and you still have one more chance. I advise you to go back and live peacefully, which will be good for you and the Xiang family. If you still have any inappropriate thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I've already given the order. No one outside will stop you."

When Yi Huawei finished speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, so fast that it was almost invisible. Before Xiang Yu could react, he felt his hands become much lighter, and with a clang, the shackles on his hands fell to the ground.
