In the sword killing banquet "The Hongmen Banquet", Fan Zeng, who has a brilliant plan, decided to assassinate Liu Bang, Xiang Yu's rival in love, in order to never see him again. In the toast, Fan Zeng winked at Xiang Yu for many times and raised his jade hat three times in a row, suggesting that Xiang Yu was determined to take this opportunity to kill Liu Bang. But Xiang Yu was loyal and could not bear to kill him. At the moment, Fan Zeng is very worried. He hurriedly pulled away and got Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang.
