She could roughly tell that it was a handle, but she couldn't figure out what it was used for.
Just as Zheng Quchi was puzzled, she was surprised to see that Gongshu Jiruo had removed a steel bone from his body and then attached it to the handle of the weapon. With a click, it became a crossbow.
It is not a crossbow in the traditional sense, but a crossbow with a steel arrow embedded in its "tube bone". After firing, it can be retrieved with a thin chain attached.
Gongshu Jiru handed the crossbow to Ju Zi. Working in perfect harmony, one of them knelt on the ground, hoisted the crossbow onto his shoulder, aimed at the charging soldiers, and pulled the trigger, releasing a powerful arrow—
*Thud*—It instantly pierced through five people, and the scene of them falling to the ground in a row was so horrifying that it left people dumbfounded.
Having made crossbows himself, Zheng Quchi knew that to achieve such terrifying power while maintaining such exquisite craftsmanship, the intricacies and techniques involved were enough to make this crossbow a divine weapon.
The arrows used for shooting were so sharp that they could cut through a hair in an instant and pierce through the chest and bones.
She was surprised and inexplicably excited, breathing heavily, pressing one hand hard against her wildly beating heart.
She finally remembered.
Who is Gongshu Jiruo?
The Gongshu family truly lives up to their reputation.
Gongshu Jiruo, still wearing her veil, said in an unyielding tone: "Yuwen Sheng, no one can force me, Gongshu Jiruo, to do what I do not wish to do."

Their purpose in coming here was the same: to intercept Yuwen Sheng and then take Gongshu Jiruo away at all costs.
They laid out a net, covered with iron nails and caltrops. One group of men leaped down, dragging the net to clear a path, while another group hurled gray-white grenades towards Yuwen Sheng's main force.
Cough cough...
Because of the favorable wind, the gray and white boulders were blown to her, causing her to sneeze and feel an itch in her throat.
This stuff is just a mixture of Sichuan peppercorns and black pepper!
If you don't know how to make smoke bombs, ask her! Using such precious spices as concealed weapons is such a waste, such a luxury, such a waste! Tell her where you found these things, she wants to get them too!
Throughout the entire process, Yuwen Sheng did not personally take action.
He just wanted to see if Gongshu Jiruo was worth all the trouble he went through, and now it seems he was indeed well worth it.
"General, it's the craftsmen and disciples of the Gongshu family who have arrived. Should we arrange for the archers and elite soldiers around us to prepare?" Wang Zebang asked loudly, covering his nose with his elbow.
Yuwen Sheng leaped onto his horse, his gaze sweeping over a corner, his thin lips a seductive red: "No need to chase after them. As long as Gongshu Lan is still here, Gongshu Ji Ruo will not leave Fu County."
