All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 104 Madam Ya Invites You

Chapter 104 Madam Ya Invites You

"Brother Lian, you misunderstand. What I meant was that the target is inanimate, but the person is alive. Therefore, I am prepared to shoot at a moving target."

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu added another sentence.

Lian Jin frowned: "A moving target?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes!"

Lian Jin snorted coldly to himself and called over a subordinate, whispering a few instructions to him.

His subordinates received the order and left.

Soon after, the subordinate, carrying a target, mounted a fast horse.

Gu Yu also stood two hundred paces away, holding the powerful bow that Lian Jin had used, with three arrows nocked on the string at once.

"Alright, we can begin."

Lian Jin waved his hand heavily, and his subordinate immediately spurred his horse and galloped along a line, the target in his hand wobbling wildly.

He did this partly on Lian Jin's instructions, to deliberately increase the difficulty.

Secondly, I was terrified, and my hands were shaking.

After all, arrows don't have eyes; what if they miss and hit him instead?

We can only pray to God for protection.

"call out!"

Gu Yu finally released the bowstring.

Three arrows flew out at the same time.

Surprisingly, the three arrows, which should have been separate, somehow came together in a line midway through their flight, connecting end to end.

"Bang!"

Before anyone could react, the three arrows seemed to merge into one, instantly piercing the bullseye of the target and flying forward a short distance before falling to the ground.

"good!"

Tao Fang was so excited that he couldn't help but shout.

That's something to be proud of!

Previously, he had given up all hope, believing that Gu Yu was bound to lose.

After all, he had to admire the brilliance of Lian Jin's three arrows from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't think of any other way to turn the tide.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu used a moving target and shot three arrows at once, stealing the limelight.

It's obvious to everyone that Gu Yu's method is significantly more difficult.

After a moment of silence, someone in the audience finally cheered.

"Excellent archery!"

"This is truly eye-opening!"

Wu Tingfang also ran to Gu Yu's side with great interest and asked, "How did you do that? It's amazing!"

.

Gu Yu revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."

"Skilled my foot!"

If it really came down to practice, one would probably have to break the bow eight hundred times to achieve that effect.

In terms of archery skills alone, Gu Yu has never practiced seriously, so how could he possibly be comparable to Lian Jin?

In other words, he cheated, making full use of the hidden weapon techniques in the "Lianhua Baojian" and his own precise control over his true energy. When he released the arrow, his true energy had already controlled the arrow through the bowstring.

Otherwise, how could three arrows fired at the same time fly in a straight line and connect end to end?

"That's amazing!"

As the saying goes, beauties love heroes.

Seeing Gu Yu's impressive move, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but have stars in her eyes.

In short, although she was a bit willful, she had been protected by her family since childhood, was inexperienced in the ways of the world, and had never truly experienced matters of the heart.

Although she had feelings for Lian Jin before, it was just feelings and did not affect her feelings for Gu Yu.

Upon seeing Wu Tingfang's gaze, Lian Jin was consumed by jealousy.

He asked himself if he could shoot a moving target like Gu Yu, piercing the bullseye with three consecutive arrows. He was confident he could do it.

However, they cannot fire three arrows simultaneously like Gu Yu.

Tao Fang seemed to sense the murderous intent in Lian Jin's eyes. Before Lian Jin could speak, he chuckled and said, "Alright, everyone, let's continue training. Brother Gu, come with me."

The two walked to a side hall.

As expected, both Wu Shiluo and his son were sitting in the hall.

It seems they had already anticipated Lian Jin's attack. Now that Tao Fang brought him here, it's clear he's passed the test.

The two stepped forward and greeted each other.

Tao then recounted in detail what had just happened.

"Oh?"

Wu Shilu was somewhat surprised and stared intently at Gu Yu.

Wu Yingyuan couldn't help but say, "I never imagined that Young Hero Gu possessed such astonishing strength and archery skills. You've already met Lian Jin; in your estimation, what are your chances of winning if you were to duel him with a sword?"

At this moment, Wu Shi Luo continued, "To be honest, this fellow Lian Jin has been challenging people to sword duels all over Handan, defeating many masters and damaging the reputation of our Zhao state. Therefore, Your Majesty hopes that some Zhao people will humiliate Lian Jin and win back some face for our Zhao state."

Gu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Handan is so big, is there no one who can rival Lian Jin?"

Wu Yingyuan shook his head: "Not really. Handan actually has quite a few famous swordsmen, such as Yan Ping of the Mo family. However, these people are proud of their status and will not easily fight a young man, lest they give others something to talk about."

Gu Yu nodded: "I see."

Celebrities are like that; they care a lot about their image. If they lose, they lose face; if they win, there's no benefit to it, so they don't act rashly.

Wu Yingyuan added, "Chief Steward Tao has seen you in action and said your strength is no less than Lian Jin's."

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Although I have never sparred with Lian Jin, I am confident that I have at least a 70-80% chance of winning."

"Very well!" Wu Shilu slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and laughed, "In that case, I will arrange a banquet. If you can defeat Lian Jin in front of the King at the banquet, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The news spread quickly.

By the next day, almost all the nobles, wealthy families, and martial arts schools in Handan had heard about it.

After all, this is not an ordinary competition, but an opportunity that many people dream of, held in front of the king.

Needless to say, Lian Jin had already made a name for himself in Handan.

Although Gu Yu was a newcomer, his battle in Qingsha Valley where he annihilated the Gray Hu had already spread far and wide, and he had gained some fame.

Therefore, the duel between the two attracted a lot of attention.

It was evening.

Tao Fang suddenly found Gu Yu and brought him a new set of clothes.

"Brother Gu, quickly change your clothes and come with me."

"Where to?"

Tao Fang whispered in her ear, "Madam Ya wants to see you."

"Mrs. Ya?"

Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

She's here, she's here, she's finally here.

Now that he's transmigrated to this world, how could Gu Yu not be attracted to a woman of such captivating charm as Madam Ya?

Tao Fang, thinking he was unaware, explained in a low voice: "Lady Ya is the king's sister. Since her husband died in the battle of Changping, she has taken pleasure in hunting handsome men. If she finds one satisfactory, she will keep him as her lover. Lian Jin is one of them."

Gu Yu deliberately said, "Since she's so promiscuous, why are you still sending me?"

Tao Fang sighed and said with a bitter face, "Where did I send you? Brother Gu, please be understanding. After all, Madam Ya is the King's sister, and even the Wu family cannot afford to offend her."

Gu Yu sighed, "Sigh, this is clearly forcing someone into a difficult situation."

"Brother Gu, to be honest, although Madam Ya is promiscuous, she is indeed a rare and wonderful woman. I would like to have a chance to get close to her, but unfortunately she doesn't think much of me."

"Haha, now that you mention it, it seems like I'm not at a disadvantage at all."

Tao Fang laughed and said, "Of course I won't suffer a loss, it's just that I'll lose some physical strength."

"Hahaha!"

Gu Yu laughed loudly, picked up his clothes, and went inside to change.

As the carriage passed a large mansion, Gu Yu glanced at it subconsciously and asked in a low voice, "Steward Tao, this place is so heavily guarded, whose residence is it?"

Tao Fang replied, "This is the hostage residence."

"Could he be a hostage from Qin?"

Who would have guessed that the future Qin Shi Huang would be imprisoned here?
