"Is there any other expert willing to come up on stage and try?" The man put away the ingot and smiled at the audience.
"Even the Mohist army cannot do it, who else can win?" Someone in the crowd shouted. Instantly, everyone's eyes focused on Yun Ting. The man on stage smiled and said, "Oh? So this little brother is a soldier of the Mohist army? Sorry for the disrespect. I heard that the Mohist army is made up of one in a hundred master archers. Is there any other Mohist army soldier willing to come up on stage and try? How about this young master? " He looked down at Chen Yun who was beside Yun Ting. His voice had a hint of provocation. Chen Yun and Yun Ting's archery skills could be said to be equal. At this time, they could neither go up nor stay down. Yun Ting's face darkened. He knew that his pride had implicated Chen Yun. Just as he was about to go up and speak, Chen Yun reached out and pulled him back. Chen Yun thought about it and was about to speak when he heard an elegant voice from behind, "Since it is like this, can this consort try? General Huyan of the Northern Tribes? "
Everyone was stunned. They were all focused on Yun Ting's archery, and because it was night time, Ye Li and Yaoji were standing in an inconspicuous position at the back. Everyone in front of the ring did not notice that there were two beautiful women in the crowd. Hearing Ye Li's words, everyone turned to look at Ye Li. There was even a portion of people looking at the Northern Tribes people on stage. It was understandable that the Northern Tribes people had enmity towards the Da Chu State. So no one took the provocation of Chen Yun to heart. But if it was the famous general of the Northern Tribes, the number one master archer of the Northern Tribes, provoking a nameless Mohist army general, then it was not acceptable.
"Greetings to Princess!" Half of the people in front of the arena were residents of Ruyang City. When they saw Ye Li, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute her and made way for her. The others naturally followed suit. Although they were not under the command of the Mohist army and the Prince Ding Mansion, they were guests and had to show some respect to the host.
With his identity exposed, the Northern Tribes man was stunned. He looked at the lady in green who walked out from the crowd. She was beautiful and elegant, with a smile on her face. She looked like a lady from a prestigious family in Da Chu State. However, that smile made him feel a chill down his spine. She smiled at Ye Li, "So it's Princess Ding. This one doesn't quite understand what Princess Consort is talking about, General Huyan?" Ye Li smiled faintly and leapt onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd. She said lightly, "The former number one archer of the Northern Tribes, Huyan Lv. Although some of the children under this consort's command aren't worth much, for a general to personally instruct them is too much of a waste of talent. When this consort returns, this consort will definitely thank the Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes. " What she meant was that Huyan Lv had been famous for a long time, yet he had challenged two young generals of the Mohist army in public. He was clearly bullying the weak. Ye Li smiled as she looked at Huyan Lv. Her calm eyes held a faint coldness. Did Huyan Lv think that after leaving the Northern Tribes for so many years, no one would recognize him? Even if others did not recognize him, the Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes would recognize him.
Huyan Lv was shocked. He forced a smile and said, "Since Princess Consort wants to fight, this one naturally welcomes you. Princess Consort, please." He planned to use his identity as an excuse. Ye Li did not care. She tilted her head and looked at the gem-studded dagger in the center of the arena. She smiled and said, "The gift from the King of the Northern Tribes must not be ordinary. Then this consort will not be polite." Huyan Lv's face darkened. He said, "Let's wait for Princess Consort to win."
He retreated to the side and handed the bow and arrow to Ye Li. Huyan Lv did not make things difficult for Ye Li with the bow and arrow. He was not an idiot. If he took out a bow that even a burly man would find difficult to draw in front of everyone, it would be thought that he was bullying Princess Ding because she was a girl. Thus, it was better to choose a suitable bow to defeat himself. Huyan Lv had absolute confidence in his archery skills. He naturally did not believe that the graceful and weak woman in front of him was a godly archer with a hundred hits. He had heard of the story of how Princess Ding had scared Princess Lingyun to tears with a single arrow. But in his view, the Princess Ding of that time could barely even shoot an arrow.
Ye Li calmly took the bow and arrow from Huyan Lv and tested it. She smiled faintly and said, "Good bow."
Huyan Lv proudly said, "The bows of my Northern Tribes are naturally good."
A few dozen steps away, there were already new copper coins hanging from the tree. Huyan Lv said, "Wang fei can walk closer before shooting." Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks for General Huyan's good intentions." If it was someone else, they might have accepted Huyan Lv's good intentions. But Ye Li knew that when it came to archery, the closer you were, the better. For example, in the current situation, if you were to stand directly under the tree, even if you were a godly archer, you would not be able to shoot down all the copper coins.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Li calmly reached out and picked up three arrows. She placed them on her shoulder and drew the bow. Everyone sucked in a breath. Princess Ding was actually planning to shoot three arrows at the same time. They saw Ye Li skillfully draw the bow. She slightly moved her position and then let go without hesitation. They heard the arrows fly through the air. Under the lantern light, three silver lights shot out towards the distant tree. Then they heard the crisp sound of copper coins falling to the ground. Ye Li's hands did not stop. She did not even look to see how many of the first three arrows had hit. She once again picked up three arrows and drew the bowstring. She shot — —
There was a crisp sound. Before anyone could react, Ye Li had already drawn the bow again. This time, she really did turn her body. She squatted on the ground and shot three arrows from the bottom up.
In the blink of an eye, only one of the ten arrows was left. Everyone looked down at the tree. There were still five copper coins hanging on the tree. Many people were already secretly worried for Ye Li. But no matter who won or lost this battle, no one would doubt the archery skills of the Mohist army.
Not far away, in a side room of the Concentrated Fragrance Pavilion, there was an open window facing the arena below. Two men sat facing each other. Looking at the arena below, their expressions were complicated. "Li Wang, what do you think … … Princess Ding's last arrow was?" Mo Jingli raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. He coldly said, "What does Ye Li's victory or defeat have to do with I? The reputation of the Mohist army does not belong to I. That Howling Moon Blade also does not belong to I. " Hearing this, Yelu Ye could not help but shake his head and sigh, "Prince Ding is really lucky. If he could have such a woman as his wife, it would be the greatest blessing in the world."
Bang! Mo Jingli heavily slammed the wine cup in his hand on the table. The wine jug and plates on the table shook.
Yelu Ye smiled as he looked at Mo Jingli's gloomy expression. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Princess Ding was originally the fiancée appointed by the late Emperor of Da Chu State to Li Wang. What a pity … …"
Kacha … … The wine cup in Mo Jingli's hand shattered, leaving only fragments in his hand.
In the other room, Lei Tengfeng and Jhennam Of Gojoseon were also paying attention to the arena. Lei Tengfeng smiled and praised, "I did not expect Princess Ding to improve so quickly. I remember that two years ago, Princess Ding was not even familiar with drawing a bow. Father, who do you think will win? " Jhennam Of Gojoseon did not seem to hear. He only focused on the azure-clothed woman on the arena. His eyes flashed with a strange light. Lei Tengfeng did not say anything. He quietly lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
