Chapter 115 - 115 Backlash
115 Backlash
She walked briskly to Gu Yuan’s side and naturally took the rhinoceros horn bow from him. She weighed it in her hand for a moment, then looked at it carefully and rubbed it. “This rhinoceros horn bow is not bad, but it’s too heavy.”
Being held in the hands of a girl like Gu Yanfei, it looked even heavier and clumsier.
“This bow is indeed not suitable for a girl.” Looking at his smiling sister, Gu Yuan’s thin lips curled into a doting smile. “This is also my first time trying this five-stone bow.”
“When my father was alive, he could draw a six-stone bow!”
His father had yet to reach his prime, but he could already draw a five-stone bow. At his peak, he could even draw a six-stone bow.
Since his father could do it, he would do it sooner or later. He would follow in his father’s footsteps and be indomitable.
Gu Yuan’s eyes were brighter and more determined, like the brightest morning star in the sky.
Gu Yanfei reached out and plucked the bowstring of the rhinoceros horn bow with interest. The silver bowstring hummed.
Gu Jian, who was in a daze, finally came back to his senses. His gaze could not help but be attracted. He looked at the intact rhinoceros horn bow in Gu Yanfei’s hand for a while… Then he suddenly turned around and glared sharply at the green-robed servant, who had just gone to get the bow.
The green-robed servant shrank back and nodded quickly, still in shock.
He was certain that he had smeared the potion the Marquis had given him on the bowstring of the rhinoceros horn bow. There was no mistake.
Unless it was a problem with the potion!
“Marquis, since this rhinoceros horn bow was once used by my father, can you give me the bow?” Gu Yanfei said with a smile. “In a few days, I want to go hunting with Miss Wei Jiu and the others…”
“Nonsense!” Gu Jian frowned tightly and quickly walked towards Gu Yanfei. He said in a dignified voice, “This was given by Emperor Taizu, it’s not something for a child.”
This rhinoceros horn bow was a gift from the Emperor. He had revealed this bow today to let Gu Yuan understand that the noble title of Marquis was his and had nothing to do with the eldest branch.
How could he give the bow to Gu Yuan!!
Gu Yanfei shrugged casually and said, “Since it’s a gift from the Emperor, the Marquis will naturally keep it well.”
“Here, it’s back to the Zhao family. Marquis, you have to watch carefully. Don’t turn around and say that we siblings broke the bow!”
As she spoke, she smiled and casually threw the rhinoceros horn bow at Gu Jian, as if she was throwing a hot potato.
Wasn’t it hot?!
The effect of the talisman on the bowstring was already dangerous. Now, the bow was no different from a fire mine that could explode at any moment.
“…” Gu Jian took half a step forward in shock and quickly raised his hand to catch the bow.
The momentum of the heavy bow made his arms go numb.
Gu Jian’s expression froze, and a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes. He really could not figure out why the bowstring did not break when Gu Yuan pulled the string and shot the arrow!
His nose did not move, and he smelled an extremely faint fragrance.
Yes, the bowstring smelled of potion.
Gu Jian held the rhinoceros horn bow in one hand and touched the straight silver bowstring with the other. Then, he casually pulled the bowstring.
He did not intend to draw the bow fully and just wanted to see if this bowstring would work…
However, this action was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. As he pulled, it was as if an invisible layer of armor on the bowstring shattered in an instant.
Clunk!
The bowstring suddenly broke. The power accumulated on the bowstring erupted at the same time, overlapping to form a huge and oppressive force that directly acted on Gu Jian.
Gu Jian let out a muffled groan as his burly body flew back…
Thud!
His right shoulder and right arm hit the hard stone floor of the arena first.
With a crack, his right arm made a bone-breaking sound that made one’s scalp tingle.
Gu Jian leaned on the ground in a strange posture and let out a sharp and terrifying cry that shot into the sky.
“Marquis!” The green-robed servant shouted with a pale face, “How are you?!”
The martial arts field was in chaos.
The surrounding servants and maids were like ants on a hot pan as they surrounded Gu Jian.
Gu Jian fell to the ground and wailed in pain. The servant did not dare to touch him at all. He watched in fear as Gu Jian’s right forearm twisted at a terrifying angle.
Even without taking a closer look at the wound on his arm, anyone could tell that his bones were definitely broken.
The servant watched in fear.
“…” Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion.
He felt his cuff tighten and turned to see Gu Yanfei pinching it with two fingers and tugging gently.
Gu Yanfei quickly winked at Gu Yuan with her right eye.
Gu Yuan understood and took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back. He pretended to shout, “Men, hurry up and get a doctor. Can’t you see that the Marquis fell?!”
With his shout, the green-robed servant finally returned to his senses. In shock, he ordered the other servants around, “Quick, find a doctor!”
“You and you, hurry up and report to Madam Gu and Madam Hou.”
“You, find a stretcher.”
A few servants rushed out of the martial arts arena in a hurry.
The martial arts field was in chaos, and people were restless.
Compared to the impetuousness of the others, Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei looked calm and composed, like cranes among chickens.
Gu Yuan looked at the rhinoceros horn bow with a broken bowstring beside Gu Jian and muttered to himself in confusion, “Why did this bow suddenly break? It even injured Second Uncle?!”
“Perhaps it’s been too long since it was used.” Gu Yanfei also looked down at the rhinoceros horn bow on the ground and said, “Fortunately, when Big Brother used it just now, the bowstring… didn’t break.”
On the ground, Gu Jian felt a sharp pain in his right arm. It was so painful that the color completely drained from his face. He was as pale as paper, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She walked briskly to Gu Yuan’s side and naturally took the rhinoceros horn bow from him. She weighed it in her hand for a moment, then looked at it carefully and rubbed it. “This rhinoceros horn bow is not bad, but it’s too heavy.”
