After listening to Ran Yi's words, Cao Shen couldn't help but show an appreciative look in his eyes, put down the scroll and clapped his hands in approval; "A good sentence of murderous sword, just at the guts of your words, I, Cao Shen, decided to accept you."

Ran Yi pretended to be shocked, with a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly bowed down; "Take in more adults, and you will do your best to live up to the love of adults."

Cao Shen smiled "haha" and continued; "Don't thank me so quickly, although I decided to use you, but I didn't think about how to use you, you might as well tell me how your swordsmanship is first."

Ran Yi smiled slightly, "I don't know what the adults want to judge from, sword momentum or swordsmanship?" ”

Cao Shen was stunned, strange way; "What is sword momentum, what is swordsmanship?"

Ran Yi took a step forward and raised his eyebrows, "Xizhuang Zhou persuaded King Wen of Zhao with his sword momentum, saying that the sword momentum in the world is divided into three categories. One is the sword of the common man, the unkempt head is protruding and the crown hangs down, the tassel of the manhu, and the clothes of the short queen, which is difficult to speak. Hit each other in front, cut off the neck collar, and cut the liver and lungs, the sword of this Shu people is tantamount to cockfighting, once the life is extinct, it is useless for state affairs; The second is the sword of the princes, with the warriors as the edge, the honest and honest as the spine, the loyal saints as the spine, and the heroes as the clamp. The third is the sword of the Son of Heaven, with Yanxi Shicheng as the front, Qi Dai as the spine, Jin and Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the fang, and Han Wei as the clamp; Wrapped in four Yi, wrapped in four times, around the Bohai Sea, with Changshan; The system is based on the five elements, and the criminal virtue is discussed; Open with yin and yang, hold with spring and autumn, and line with autumn and winter. This sword is straight and unstoppable, supreme, case-in-the-bottom, unlucky, up to the clouds, and down to the Jedi. This sword is used, and the princes of Kuang are obeyed by the world. ”

Cao Shen didn't expect such a young swordsman to have such insight, so much so that he really felt that he had underestimated him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of love in his heart, and looked at Fan Ranyi again, but he didn't miss a silent "oh", and asked again; "This is just Zhuang Zhou's boastful talk, used to persuade their king. You and I are neither the Son of Heaven nor the princes, what I want to ask about is your swordsmanship, and you don't care about him. “

Ran Yi bent down and said, "Yes." And he said; I used to study under the famous swordsman of the Mo family, and I learned swordsmanship from him for ten years. The teacher once said that swordsmanship is three layers, one is fierce and fierce, invincible, holding sharp weapons and competing with the heroes, this is the entry; The second is that the heavy sword has no edge, the great ingenuity is not work, it is not stuck in things, and the grass and trees can be swords. This is a masterpiece of swordsmanship, and it can already be established as a sect. ”

Cao Shen showed an interested look and couldn't help but interject and ask; "So they are all in the middle, and what is the highest realm."

Ran Yi smiled and said; "The highest is nothing more than the sword is already in the heart, the so-called ten steps to kill a person, thousands of miles without leaving a line, is the highest level of swordsmanship."

Cao Shen couldn't help but breathe faster, although he was a civil official, he was excellent at swordsmanship, how could he not be delighted by such a fleeting legend. I couldn't help but ask; "If there really is such a realm, have you seen it?"

Ran Yi shook his head and said, "Although I haven't seen it, I think the world is so big, and there are so many strange people, I can't wait for the people of grass mustard, and it's normal to not see it." ”

Cao Shen nodded when he heard this, and said; "That's exactly what I think is." After a pause, he looked at Ran Yi and asked; "Then what a level of swordsmanship have you reached?"

Ran Yi lowered his head slightly, "I have reached the second-class middle stream, and I have already achieved a small success." ”

One of the guards on the side couldn't help but snort heavily, his face full of disdain, obviously thinking that the young man was talking about it. Cao Shen didn't seem to hear it, just looked at Ran Yi and asked; "You said that you were a teacher of the Mo family, but you are a child of the Mo family?"

Ran Yi nodded, "Exactly." ”

A few thoughts quickly turned in Cao Shen's mind. I feel that this Ran Yi does not seem to be an ordinary character, it is likely to be the core figure of the younger generation of the Mo family, if he can take it for his own use, it is not able to build a bridge of communication between the King of Han and the Mo family.

Liu Bang has not paid attention to the influence of the Mo family in the people, in fact, he has coveted this force for a long time, and has shown kindness to the Mo family many times. Who would have expected that the Mo family would ignore his kindness, neither respond nor object, but just noncommittal. Liu Bang's hot face was sticking to a cold ass, and he couldn't help but be bored. He saw that the Mo family did not openly support any force, but maintained neutrality in the troubled times according to hundreds of years of practice, so he also let the Mo family go and ignored it.

But this does not mean that Liu Bang has lost interest in the Mo family, Cao Shen, who is Liu Bang's minister, naturally understands what he means, so he has a strong interest in Ran Yi. This is an opportunity to marry the Mo family.

Thinking of this, Cao Shen looked at the guard beside him and said; "Zhang Qian, you go and try this little hero's skills."

"No." Zhang Qian replied loudly in a thick voice. He had long seen that this oily and powdery boy was not pleasing to the eye, and he wanted to take this opportunity to make a good fool of him.

Unexpectedly, Ran Yi watched Zhang Qian walk in expressionlessly, and suddenly shook his head and said; "My lord, he is not my opponent, you might as well let a few more people go down to avoid ruining the fun."

As soon as these words came out, even Cao Shen felt that this young man was too arrogant, and the little favor he had just established suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Xiancheng who had not spoken all this time, and his face showed a dissatisfied look.

Zhang Qian was even more furious, he was a leader in martial arts in the Han army, he had experienced many life and death battles for a long time, but he was so despised by a hairy boy, how could he not be angry.

Zhang Qian strode forward, pulled out his big sword with a roar, and swung it heavily towards Ran Yi, with no mercy in his hand.

Ran Yi just dodged to dodge, and he didn't draw his sword but just stepped to dodge. Zhang Qian's swordsmanship is known for its fierceness, dancing like a storm, while Ran Yi's thin body is like a flat boat in a storm, although it seems to be dangerous, but it always avoids the sword just right.

In this way, even Wang Xiancheng, who is not proficient in archery, it is not difficult to see that Ran Yi obviously did not exert all his strength, and Zhang Qian is not his opponent. And he cried again; "Wenhu, you are also the same."

"No."

That Wenhu was Zhang Qian's brother, and he was already anxious when he saw that his brother was falling behind, so he naturally wouldn't be polite when he heard Cao San say this, so he drew his sword and stepped forward to help. Under the joint efforts of the two, Ran Yi suddenly increased his pressure, and he had to draw his sword out of the sheath, and the more he fought, the more messy he became, and he gradually gained the upper hand, and he was not embarrassed to block left and right.

Seeing that Ran Yi was embarrassed, Cao Shen showed a shallow smile on his face, thinking that it would be good for this young man who didn't know the height of the sky to suffer a little. However, he was not like Zhang Qian, who hurt Ran Yi, so he wanted to stop them. Before the words could be shouted, the upheaval suddenly arose.

Ran Yi had already shown a weak color in the comparison of the two of them's sword blades, and suddenly the soles of his feet slipped and fell to the sky. Zhang Qian was overjoyed when he saw this, and couldn't help but show a hideous smile on his face, and his sword also fell, wanting to kill this kid who humiliated himself before Cao Shen stopped him. Cao Shen had also seen it at this time, and was about to exclaim in surprise, but it was too late.

Zhang Qian's big sword fell, and he didn't have the expected feeling of the sword entering the flesh, but he saw Ran Yi jump up violently, the sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, and it slashed through the throats of the two like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, Zhang Qian and Wen Hu died violently before they had time to snort.

Although the two of them are not as good as Ran Yi, they will not be so bad, and the reason why they were killed by Ran Yi with one move is nothing more than the heart of the enemy.

The mutation stunned everyone Cao Shen was even more stunned and at a loss, the two people he was watching behind him fell down and looked not too real, thinking that Ran Yi had just injured the two of them, where did he know that the two of them had died. When Ran Yi took advantage of the situation without stopping, jumped high and took off quickly to Cao Shen, he suddenly woke up.

At this life-and-death juncture, Cao San almost instinctively turned his body sideways, and then a sharp pain came from his chest, and he watched with wide eyes as the sword in Ran Yi's hand pierced into his chest, dangerously only half an inch from his heart.

"Protect your lordship." The two guards who reacted next to him kicked the table open, jumped up and stabbed Ran Yi in the back.

Ran Yi saw that he didn't stab Cao Shen's vital point, so he pulled out his sword and wanted to make up for it, but he felt the wind behind him, so he had to turn around and meet the enemy. There was a sound of weapons handing over, although these two guards were far inferior to Ran Yi in martial arts, but they were both fighting styles that regarded death as a dead man, and Ran Yi couldn't help them for a while, and at this time, Cao Shen had already fallen in a pool of blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

There was a large number of footsteps outside the door, and it was thought that the Han soldiers in the palace heard the sound of fighting in the inner hall. Ran Yige opened the sword in front of him and stabbed one of them. glanced at Cao Shen, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the ground, hesitated and decided to go first, and if it was too late, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out.

Ran Yi avoided the sword that stabbed him, took advantage of the momentum to fly and jumped away, grabbed Wang Xiancheng, whose whole body was trembling like a sieve, and roared; "Let's go." Wang Xiancheng suddenly realized this, and hurriedly stumbled behind him.

Ran Yi rushed out violently, and a group of Han soldiers who came out of the face pulled out the battle and rushed up. Ran Yi rushed into the flock like a tiger descending the mountain, killing all the way, these Han soldiers were just ordinary soldiers, where would be his opponent, in less than a blink of an eye, he had already killed and rushed under the high wall.

Ran Yigao raised his left hand, and a flying arrow flew out of his sleeve and nailed it to the wall. Grabbing Wang Xiancheng, Ran Yi quickly climbed the high wall with his flying claws, and before the archers of the Han army arrived, he had already turned over and jumped out.

Above the hall, Cao Shen's face was pale, he grabbed the person who was supporting him, and said tremblingly with all his strength; "Quick...... Quick, quickly order the whole city to be on alert, be careful...... Beware of someone ......" Before he finished speaking, Cao Shen had already lost his breath.

It's a pity that Cao San's last life was still too late after all, and after learning that the life and death of Cao Shen, the main general of the Han army, was unknown, Yang Di, the son of Qi Mo Juzi who was in the city, decisively ordered the incident, and more than 2,000 Mo disciples had white cloth wrapped around their heads, pulled out their swords and quickly attacked the planned important places in the city. The Han army, which was slow to react, hastily formed an army and fought separately under the leadership of their respective generals. The three Han military exploits who had been bought off immediately fought back and led their troops to join the Mo family's ranks, and the Han army camp was suddenly in chaos.

At dawn, the noisy city of Zuoqiu finally calmed down, and half of the Han army surrendered or were killed, while most of the men and horses dragged off their uniforms and scattered.

The Mo family, who controlled Zuoqiu City, immediately raised the banner of heaven's will to return to Qin, claiming that the Mo family had recognized Han Xin as the new Son of Heaven and called on all the people to defect to each other. At the same time, troops were sent to expand in the weak hinterland of the Han army, and more than 20 cities of all sizes were captured one after another, and most of the two counties of Jiaodong and Langya were no longer part of the Han Dynasty.
