Chapter 96： Backlash (one more)

Chapter 96 Backlash (one more)

Gu Jian clenched his right fist and squeezed the knuckles of his fingers to crunch.

Gu Yuan's appointment was issued by the Ministry of War. Under normal circumstances, they naturally couldn't just change people at their will.

However, if Gu Yuan was accidentally injured and could no longer bend the bow and dance the sword, then the errand of the Shenji Camp would naturally be incompetent.

At that time, it is up to my uncle to take the initiative to ask for a replacement from the Ministry of War, and then go to the commander of the Shenji Battalion to "deal" with it. This matter is likely to be successful. After all, Murong Yong is also a fifth-rank military general like Gu Yuan. Also in the Shenji Camp.

It’s not easy to get promoted in the army. It’s not that difficult to get a job if you rely on military merit. As long as you love me, you can turn a blind eye when you go to the top, and you’ll be done.

Gu Jian's lips moved slightly and silently said to herself, "This is for the family."

Because of Gu Ce's fault, their Gu family was almost destroyed. This is what the long house owed to the Gu family.

Gu Jian repeated it again silently, and he didn't know if he was speaking to himself or someone who was not here.

Gu Yuan, who was in front of him, threw his entire attention on the arrow.

When the bowstring was fully stretched and pulled 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 also became a part of the bow and arrow. As a martial artist, the instinct told him that the bowstring was about to break...

but--

The arrow is already on the string.

If he just released the arrow like this, the string would be broken the moment the arrow was shot, and the power accumulated on the bow could not be fully applied to the arrow, and it would definitely shock the bow bearer.

The strength accumulated by these five crossbows is equivalent to the weight of 300 jins, and this strength is enough to shock the muscles and bones of his shoulders and arms. Moreover, the broken bowstring is like a sharp sword that blows the hair and breaks the hair, and in all likelihood it will scratch his hand...

Now even if he wanted to close the bowstring, it was too late.

This bowstring has been pulled to the extreme, like a person walking on a wire high in the sky. As long as it deviates a little bit, the original balance will be broken.

In other words, the strings will also break.

To make matters worse, it is impossible for him to maintain this position all the time, motionless...

Gu Yuan's wheat-colored forehead was visibly exposed to more fine beads of sweat, and even the lines of his neck were stretched to the extreme.

A line of cold sweat on the corner of his forehead slowly trickled down Gu Yuan's cheek, and the small sweat dripped down his chin and fell towards the bowstring...

At this moment, time seems to be slowed down infinitely.

Suddenly, on Gu Yuan's forehead, a faint white light emitted from the position where Gu Yanfei's illusory talisman had been drawn.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the white light of the stars is not visible.

The white light quickly flowed from his forehead to his right hand pulling the string, and then flowed from the fingertips to the entire bowstring, the bowstring glowed slightly, overflowing with light...

Gu Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and felt that there seemed to be a subtle current flowing between him and the bowstring from his fingertips. A spiritual intuition was telling him to shoot the arrow.

In the next instant, the bowstring was released from his fingers, and the feathered arrow came off the string at the same moment, making a sharp piercing sound.

The tip of the third feather arrow still hit the red heart of the target firmly, and even split the shaft of the second arrow in half from the tail.

"Snapped!"

The tea cup in Gu Jian's hand came out and fell straight to the ground.

The tea cup was smashed into pieces, and the hot tea and scattered pieces of porcelain splattered, splashing on his shoes, robes, and even a piece of broken porcelain on the back of his hand, leaving an inch-long bloodstain. .

The ground was a mess, and the tea was flowing haphazardly.

"..." Gu Jian was stunned, unable to believe his eyes. How is this possible? !

The effect of the amulet she drew for her eldest brother was unusual. Gu Yanfei glanced at Gu Jian with a half-smile, then took a piece of maltose from Gu Yuan's purse and stuffed it into her mouth, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Ugh, so sweet!

As for Gu Yuan, he didn't pay attention to Gu Jian's movements at all.

He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with one hand, and secretly said that his luck was really good, he didn't let the strings go, or he would lose face in front of his sister just now.

The next moment, Gu Yuan hurriedly looked at Gu Yanfei, and the words "Big Brother is great" were almost written in those shining phoenix eyes.

"Brother, you are really amazing!" Gu Yanfei smiled and clapped again, the applause was crisp and warm, congratulations to Gu Yuan for hitting all three arrows.

She walked briskly to Gu Yuan's side, and naturally took the rhino horn bow in his hand, weighing it for a while, and then carefully rubbing it, "This rhino horn bow is not bad, but it's too heavy."

The ancient and clumsy rhino horn bow was held in the hands of one of Gu Yanfei's girls, and it became more and more 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 drew a pampering smile, "This is the first time I have tried this kind of five-stone bow."

"In the past, when my father was alive, he could draw the six crossbow!"

Before his father reached the weak crown, he could draw the five crossbow, and at his peak, he could draw the six crossbow.

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 tall.

Gu Yuan's eyes are brighter and firmer, like the brightest star in the sky.

Gu Yanfei stretched out his hand and plucked the bowstring of the rhino horn bow with great interest, and the silver bowstring hummed.

Gu Jian, who had lost his soul, just came back to his senses at this moment, and his eyes couldn't help being attracted. He looked at Gu Yanfei's intact rhinoceros horn bow for a while... Then he turned his head abruptly, his sharp eyes were like Like a knife, he stabbed the boy in Tsing Yi who had just gone to fetch the bow.

The boy in Tsing Yi shrank his neck and nodded quickly, still in shock.

He can be sure that he rubbed the potion given by Hou Ye on the bowstring of the rhino horn bow, and there is absolutely nothing wrong.

Unless, unless it is a problem with the potion!

"Master Hou, since my father used this rhino horn bow, 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, walked towards Gu Yanfei quickly, and said in a majestic voice, "This is a gift from Emperor Taizu, not a child's thing."

This rhinoceros horn bow is a gift from the royal family. He showed this bow today to let Gu Yuan understand that the title of the Houfu belongs to him and has nothing to do with the long room.

How could he give Gu Yuan the bow! !

Gu Yanfei shrugged casually, and said again, "Since it's a gift from the royal family, Lord Hou should take care of it."

"Here, the jade is returned to Zhao, Lord Hou, you have to look carefully, don't turn around and say that our brother and sister broke the bow!"

said, she smiled and threw the rhino horn bow at Gu Jian, as if she was throwing some hot potato.

Isn't    hot to the touch? !

The effect of that talisman on the bowstring is already in jeopardy, and now the bow will detonate the same fire thunder when it follows.

"..." Gu Jian took a half step forward in shock, and quickly raised his hand to catch the bow.

The momentum brought by the heavy bow made his arms go numb.

Gu Jian's face froze, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes that was said to be the center of his mind. He really couldn't figure out how the bowstring didn't break when Gu Yuan was just pulling the string to shoot the arrow!

His nose didn't move, and the tip of his nose smelled a very faint fragrance.

Yes, the bowstring does smell of potion.

Gu Jian held the rhino horn bow in one hand, touched the straight silver bowstring with the other hand, and pulled a bowstring at will.

He didn't intend to draw the bow, he just wanted to see if the bowstring would work...

However, this action of his is like breaking the last straw on the camel, and as he pulls, an invisible armor on the bowstring seems to shatter in an instant.

"Zheng!"

The bowstring suddenly broke, and the power accumulated on the bowstring also burst out at the same time, superimposed into a huge and oppressive force, which directly acted on Gu Jian.

Gu Jian let out a groan, and his burly body flew backwards...

"Boom!"

His right shoulder and right arm landed first, hitting the hard stone floor of the martial arts field heavily.

With a    "click", there was a sound of broken bones in the right arm, which made the scalp tingle.

Gu Jian crooked to the ground in a strange posture, with a sharp and eerie cry, and shot straight into the sky.

"Master Hou!" The boy in Tsing Yi shouted with a pale face, "How are you?!"

In the martial arts arena, there was chaos all of a sudden.

The little servants and old ladies around were like ants on a hot pot, and they all gathered around Gu Jian.

Gu Jian crooked on the ground and wailed in pain, the servant didn't dare to touch him at all, and watched Gu Jian's right forearm on the ground twisted to a frightening angle.

Even without looking closely at the wound on his arm, anyone could see that his bones must be broken.

The little servant looked terrified.

"..." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion.

He felt his cuffs tighten, turned his head to look, and saw Gu Yanfei pinching his cuffs with **** and gently pulling them.

Gu Yanfei quickly blinked his right eye at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan understood, he took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and pretended to call: "Come on, why don't you go to the doctor quickly, didn't you see the Marquis fall?!"

With his shout, the servant in blue finally came back to his senses, and in a panic, he summoned the other servants around him: "Quick, go find the doctor!"

"You, and you, hurry up and report to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou."

"You, find a stretcher."

Several servants rushed out of the martial arts field in a hurry.

On the martial arts field, it was a mess, and people were impetuous.

Compared to the impetuousness of the others, the brothers and sisters Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei seemed to be calm and relaxed, and they seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Gu Yuan looked at the broken rhino horn bow beside Gu Jian, and said to himself doubtfully, "...How could this bow suddenly break the string and hurt the second uncle?!"

"Perhaps it's been useless for too long." Gu Yanfei also lowered his eyes to look at the rhino horn bow on the ground, and said, "Fortunately, when the eldest brother just used it, the bowstring... didn't break."

On the ground, Gu Jian only felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and the pain completely faded from the blood on his face, pale as paper, and cold sweat on his forehead.
