Zhu Yunhao pondered for a moment, feeling very uneasy.

Fearing that Du Qingwan would seriously lose her composure on such an important occasion and affect the relations between the two countries, he quickly spoke out to ease the conflict.

"Queen, I believe that Prince Wanyan will not deceive me, so feel free to shoot!

I believe that the reason why Minister Wang switched to soft-tipped arrows is out of consideration for your safety, which is understandable."

Zhu Yunhao glanced at Du Qingwan and spoke calmly, and finally his eyes fell on the young man in white.

Although Du Qingwan still had some doubts in her heart, due to the presence of so many people, she was too lazy to step forward and personally check the sharp arrow in Wanyan Hongze's hand.

After taking a deep breath, she said nonchalantly:

"Well then. ... General Wanyan, you better watch out!

I will shoot very accurately, without any error!"

After Du Qingwan finished speaking, she quickly took out a soft-headed arrow and prepared to pull the trigger on the heavy crossbow.

"Sister, you have to shoot accurately. If you accidentally hurt General Wanyan, Prince Wanyan will definitely not forgive you!"

At this moment, Du Zhirou, who had always been fed up with her showing off, hurried forward and reminded her with a hint of sarcasm.

"Where did this idiot come from to cause trouble? Get out of the way! Don't disturb my competition!"

Du Qingwan glared at Du Zhirou fiercely, pushed her away forcefully, and spoke in a very cold tone.

Du Qingwan pushed her so hard that Du Zhirou almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhu Yajie supported her in time, thus preventing her from falling.

The moment their eyes met, their eyes were filled with autumnal charm and the color of peach blossoms appeared faintly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome, sister-in-law."

“Swoosh—”

As the two were greeting each other politely, the sharp arrow in Du Qingwan's hand suddenly shot out with a whoosh.

Before everyone even had time to react, the sharp arrow quickly pierced through the apple and finally hit the bull's eye steadily.

"No way? She...she was able to shoot through the apple and hit the bull's eye!"

Wang Jingyun was the first to be shocked. His eyes widened in shock and his mouth involuntarily formed an O shape with a look of disbelief.

Wanyan Hongze was stunned when he saw this: "How could it be?"

He never dreamed that Du Qingwan could use a soft-tipped arrow to accurately shoot through the apple above his head and the bull's eye twenty meters away.

Even if he was given ten normal arrows, he couldn't do this!

What's more, this is a thousand-jin crossbow!

How did she do it?

"How is it, General Wanyan, how is my archery skill?

You can't even shoot through an apple, so you must have stolen the title of Loulan's No. 1 Warrior, right?"

Wanyan Hongze was still immersed in disbelief when Du Qingwan's devilish laughter suddenly brought him back to reality.

Seeing the smug look on her face, Wanyan Hongze was speechless and stunned.

The Loulan envoy was immediately displeased and quickly mocked:

"Empress Daye, I'm afraid you did something secretly with this arrow of yours?

Our General Wanyan is the bravest warrior in Loulan, and his archery skills are unmatched in the world.

How can you, a weak woman, shoot through both the apple and the bull's eye?"

The words of the Loulan envoy were extremely sharp, and every word was filled with contempt and ridicule for Du Qingwan.

Upon hearing this, the officials of Daye court were worried that Du Qingwan's arrogance would grow and completely destroy the friendly exchanges between Daye and Loulan, so they all echoed her voice.

"Du Qingwan, don't speak nonsense here!

You have destroyed the friendly relations between Loulan and Daye. Even if there are ten of you, you cannot bear this responsibility!"

Zhang Xingguo is like a fence-sitter, flexible on the surface but actually wavering back and forth between the two sides.

Du Qingwan was indeed a little surprised, her eyes widened with shock.

If she remembered correctly, Zhang Xingguo had spoken for her before the competition.

In just a short while, he was able to quickly change his position and side with the Loulan envoys.

No wonder the Daye Dynasty perished so quickly in history. It was probably related to these treacherous ministers.

"Is Prime Minister Zhang mistakenly misunderstanding Loulan's greatest warrior?

With his limited skills? Is he worthy?"

Du Qingwan was very confident and didn't feel like she had lost anything.

Her rebellious look immediately confused Zhu Yunhao.

He began to question his own judgment.

"Why did the Queen say that? Tell us about it."

Zhu Yunhao stretched out his hand to signal Du Qingwan to continue speaking, his face full of smiles, as if he was very interested.

[It seems that even this dog emperor doesn’t believe that I have the ability to shoot through the apple and the bull’s eye at the same time!

These damn ancient people are really troublesome! ]

[It seems that I have to use my trump card to make them all bow down to me!]

Du Qingwan muttered to herself in her heart, her lips pouted high, looking a little aggrieved.

However, even though Zhu Yunhao saw it, he still felt a little distressed.

But because there were so many people present and Du Qingwan had never been interested in him, he was able to restrain himself in time from doing such a foolish thing of trying to please someone who didn't like him.

"Your Majesty, if General Wanyan does not believe in my archery skills, why not let him personally select the sharp arrows for me?

This way, we can not only clear up everyone's misunderstanding of me, but also make Daye glorious and well-deserved."

Wanyan Hongze already had this idea before Du Qingwan competed.

But at that time, he was blinded by greed and could not imagine that Du Qingwan would win, so he endured and did not make this request until now.

Now that Du Qingwan had spoken herself, Wanyan Hongze walked up to her without hesitation and echoed:

"Emperor Daye, I think this idea is very fair!

I would like to let our Loulan guards be targets, and have an apple on their heads as well.

If she can really shoot through both the apple and the bull's eye with the sharp arrow I picked out myself, the previous bet will still stand!"

Wanyan Hongze's desire to personally verify Du Qingwan's superb archery skills suddenly became particularly strong at this moment.

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in approval.

"I think what General Wanyan said is absolutely right!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

Soon, all the sounds inexplicably became consistent.

In this case, Zhu Yunhao naturally had no objection.

The second round of competition will begin soon.

Wanyan Hongze carefully selected for a long time and confirmed that all the sharp arrows in his hand had become soft-headed arrows. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly.

“Empress Daye, this is a truly soft-headed arrow.

I want to see for myself how you shoot through the apple and into the bull's eye!"

While talking, Wanyan Hongze handed a soft-tipped arrow to Du Qingwan, with a look of smugness on his face.

He just didn't believe that Du Qingwan could do anything shameful under his nose, and he didn't believe that she could win.

Du Qingwan glanced at the soft-tipped arrow in her hand and sneered:

"That's it? Watch carefully, I guarantee you'll hit the target every time!"

After saying that, Du Qingwan sneered and quickly pulled the thousand-jin crossbow.

With a loud bang, the sharp arrow flew quickly towards the Loulan guards, accurately pierced the apple, and finally hit the bull's eye steadily.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene and even cheering was completely forgotten.
