096 Backlash
Gu Jian clenched his right fist and pinched the joints of his fingers until they made a crunching sound.
Gu Yuan's appointment was issued by the Ministry of War. Under normal circumstances, naturally he could not be replaced casually according to their wishes.
However, if Gu Yuan was accidentally injured and could no longer bend the bow or wield the sword, then he would naturally be unable to perform the duties of the Shenji Camp.
When the time comes, it will be up to his uncle to take the initiative to ask the Ministry of War for a replacement, and then go to the commander of the Shenji Battalion to "deal with it". This matter will probably be successful. After all, Murong Yong is also a fifth-grade military general like Gu Yuan, and
Also in Shenji Camp.
It's not easy to get promoted in the army, it depends on military merit, but it's not that difficult to transfer. As long as you are willing to do it, and the boss turns a blind eye, things will be done.
Gu Jian's lips moved slightly, muttering silently to herself: "This is for the Gu family."
Because of Gu Ce's mistake, their Gu family was almost destroyed. This is what the eldest brother owed to the Gu family.
Gu Jian repeated it again silently. She didn't know whether this sentence was meant for herself or someone who was not here.
Gu Yuan in front was all focused on this arrow.
When the bow string was fully stretched and stretched to the limit, Gu Yuan also felt a little tired and his whole body was tense.
His body seemed to be one with the bow and arrow, and he had become a part of the bow and arrow. As a martial artist, his instinct told him that the bow string was about to break...
but--
The arrow is already on the string.
If he releases the arrow like this, the string will break the moment the arrow is shot, and all the power accumulated in the bow cannot be applied to the arrow, and the shock will inevitably hit the bow holder.
The accumulated power of this five-stone bow is equivalent to a weight of 300 kilograms. This force is enough to break the muscles and bones of his shoulders and arms. Moreover, the broken bow string is like a sharp sword that blows and breaks hair, and will most likely scratch him.
hand……
Even if he wanted to draw back the bowstring now, it was too late.
This bowstring has been stretched to the extreme, just like a person walking on an iron wire high in the sky. If it goes just a little bit off, the original balance will be broken.
In other words, the string will also break.
What's worse is that he can't maintain this posture forever...
Gu Yuan's wheat-colored forehead was visibly covered with more beads of sweat, and even the lines of his neck were stretched to the extreme.
A line of cold sweat on the forehead slowly trickled down one cheek of Gu Yuan, and the small drops of sweat dripped along his chin and fell towards the bowstring...
At this moment, time seemed to be infinitely slowed down.
Suddenly, a faint white light glowed on Gu Yuan's forehead where Gu Yanfei had previously drawn the talisman.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the white stars were not visible.
The white light quickly flowed from his forehead to his right hand that was pulling the string, and then flowed from the fingertips to the entire bowstring. The bowstring glowed slightly, and the light overflowed...
Gu Yuan's eyes were slightly opened, and he felt as if there was a tiny current flowing between his fingertips and the bowstring. A spiritual intuition was telling him to release the arrow.
The next moment, the bowstring was released from his fingers, and the feather arrow came out of the string at the same moment, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The tip of the third feathered arrow still firmly hit the red heart of the target, and even split the shaft of the second arrow in half from the tail.
"Snapped!"
The tea cup in Gu Jian's hand fell out of her hand and fell straight to the ground.
The teacup fell to pieces, and hot tea and scattered pieces of porcelain flew everywhere, splashing on his shoes, robe, and even a piece of broken porcelain scratched the back of his hand, leaving an inch-long blood mark.
.
The ground was a mess and tea was flowing randomly.
"..." Gu Jian was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes. How could this be possible?!
The amulet she drew for her eldest brother was indeed very effective. Gu Yanfei glanced at Gu Jian with a half-smile, took a maltose from Gu Yuan's purse and stuffed it into his mouth, raising the corners of his mouth. Oh, how sweet!
As for Gu Yuan, he didn't pay attention to what was going on at Gu Jian's side.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand, and thought to himself that he was really lucky, he didn't take off the string, otherwise he would have been embarrassed in front of his sister just now.
The next moment, Gu Yuan quickly looked at Gu Yanfei, his shining phoenix eyes barely had the words "Brother is great, right?"
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Gu Yanfei smiled and clapped again. The applause was crisp and warm, congratulating Gu Yuan on all three arrows.
She walked briskly to Gu Yuan, and naturally took the rhinoceros horn bow from his hand. She weighed it for a while, then looked at it and rubbed it, "This rhino horn bow is good, but it's too heavy."
The ancient rhinoceros horn bow was held in the hands of a girl named Gu Yanfei, and it became increasingly heavy and clumsy.
"This bow is really not suitable for a girl's family." Looking at his smiling sister, Gu Yuan raised his thin lips and gave a doting smile, "This is also my first time to try this kind of five-stone bow."
"When my father was still alive, he could draw a six-stone bow!"
My father could draw a five-stone bow before he reached the weak crown. At his peak, he could even draw a six-stone bow.
Since his father can do it, he will be able to do it sooner or later. He will follow his father's footsteps and stand firm.
Gu Yuan's eyes were brighter and more determined, like the brightest morning star in the sky.
Gu Yanfei reached out and plucked the strings of the rhinoceros horn bow with great interest, and the silver bowstrings buzzed.
The devastated Gu Jian had just come to her senses at this moment, and her eyes couldn't help but be attracted. She stared at the intact rhinoceros horn bow in Gu Yanfei's hand for a while... then suddenly turned her head, her sharp eyes like
Like a knife, he stabbed the boy in green who had just gone to get the bow.
The boy in green clothes shrank his neck and nodded quickly, still in shock.
He was certain that there was nothing wrong when he applied the potion given by the Marquis to the string of the rhinoceros horn bow.
Unless, unless it’s a potion problem!
"Master Marquis, since this rhinoceros horn bow was used by my father, can you give it to me?" Gu Yanfei said with a smile, "In a few days, I will go hunting with Miss Wei Jiu and the others..."
"Nonsense!" Gu Jian frowned tightly, quickly walked towards Gu Yanfei, and said in a majestic voice, "This is a gift from Emperor Taizu, and it is not a child's thing."
This rhinoceros horn bow was a gift from the emperor. He showed this bow today to let Gu Yuan understand that the title of the Marquis Mansion belongs to him and has nothing to do with the eldest son.
How could he give the bow to Gu Yuan!!
Gu Yanfei shrugged casually and said: "Since it is a gift from the emperor, the Marquis should take care of it."
"Here, the completed jade is returned to Zhao. Lord Marquis must take a closer look. Don't look back and say that our brother and sister broke the bow!"
As she spoke, she smiled and threw the rhinoceros horn bow towards Gu Jian, as if she was throwing a hot potato.
Isn’t it just hot to the touch?!
The effect of the talisman on the bow string is already in jeopardy, and now the bow is no different from the fire thunder that will detonate when it follows.
"..." Gu Jian was frightened and took half a step forward, then quickly raised her hand to catch the bow.
The impact of the heavy bow made his arms slightly numb.
Gu Jian's face froze, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes at being told his innermost thoughts. He really couldn't figure out how the bow string didn't break when Gu Yuan just pulled the string to shoot the arrow!
Without moving his nose, he smelled a very faint fragrance on the tip of his nose.
Yes, there is indeed the smell of potion on the bowstring.
Gu Jian held the rhinoceros horn bow with one hand, touched the straight silver bow string with the other hand, and pulled the bow string casually.
He didn't intend to fully draw the bow, he just wanted to test whether the bow string would work...
However, his action was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. As he pulled, an invisible layer of armor on the bow string seemed to be shattered in an instant.
"Zheng!"
The bow string suddenly broke, and the power that had been accumulated on the bow string burst out at the same time, superimposing into a huge, oppressive force that directly acted on Gu Jian's body.
Gu Jian let out a muffled groan, and her burly body flew backwards...
"Boom!"
His right shoulder and right arm hit the ground first, landing heavily on the hard stone floor of the martial arts arena.
There was a "click" and the sound of bones breaking in his right arm made his scalp numb.
Gu Jian leaned on the ground in a strange posture, and let out a sharp and terrifying scream, which went straight into the sky.
"Master Hou!" the young man in Tsing Yi yelled with a pale face, shouting, "How are you?!"
The martial arts arena suddenly became noisy.
The young men and women around him were like ants on a hot pot, flocking to Gu Jian's side.
Gu Jian was lying on the ground, wailing in pain, and the boy didn't dare to touch him at all. He watched with fear as Gu Jian's right forearm, which was lying on the ground, was twisted at a frightening angle.
Even without looking closely at the wounds on his arms, anyone could tell that his bones were definitely broken.
The boy looked frightened.
"..." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion.
He felt the cuffs tighten, turned around and saw Gu Yanfei pinching his cuffs with two fingers and tugging gently.
Gu Yanfei quickly blinked her right eye at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan understood this, took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and pretended to shout: "Come here, why don't you call the doctor quickly? Didn't you see that the Marquis fell?!"
With his shout, the boy in green clothes finally came back to his senses, and in shock he called up the other servants around him: "Quick, go find the doctor!"
"You, and you, hurry up and report to Madam Tai, Madam Hou."
"You, go find a stretcher."
Several servants rushed out of the martial arts arena in a hurry.
The martial arts arena was in chaos and people were restless.
Compared to the impetuousness of others, Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei, brothers and sisters, seemed calm and composed, somewhat standing out from the crowd.
Gu Yuan looked at the broken rhinoceros horn bow lying next to Gu Jian and muttered to himself in confusion: "...How could this bow suddenly break its string and hurt my second uncle?!"
"Perhaps it hasn't been used for a long time." Gu Yanfei also lowered his eyes and looked at the rhinoceros horn bow on the ground, and sang and said, "Fortunately, when brother used it just now, the bow string... was not broken."
