Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Release your fingers, and the arrow hits the bullseye.

"Good!" The soldiers no longer underestimated the women's archery skills; their level was among the best in the entire army.

As Hongnan drew the bowstring taut for the second arrow, Mujin quickly took out a silk handkerchief from her waist, blindfolded herself, and then drew the bow and shot the arrow. "Whoosh—" The arrow hit the bullseye.

"Blind shot!" This action completely stunned Hong Nan. How could this happen? His breathing became rapid, and his hand holding the bow trembled slightly. He aimed several times but failed to release the arrow.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and finally made up his mind to release the bowstring. The arrow shot out and landed with a "thud" several inches away from the bullseye. Hong Nan's face turned pale instantly.

On his final draw, Hongnan's concentration wavered, and the arrow he shot went even further astray. Mujin, without removing the silk blindfold from her eyes, fired her third arrow blindfolded. After Hongnan's third shot, she leaped into the air, using the sound of the arrow she had just fired to pinpoint Hongnan's location. Using Hongnan's shoulder as leverage, she performed a backflip in mid-air, firing her third arrow backwards, which landed an inch below the bullseye.

"Good!" "Excellent!" Applause erupted, signifying the approval of all the soldiers.

Mu Jin plucked the silk ribbon, looked at the score on the target, clasped her hands in a salute, and retreated behind Yang Jianwu.

Mo Ye walked to Yang Jianwu's side, suppressing his shock, "Little Wu'er, how did you train them?"

Yang Jianwu smiled and said, "There's no special skill involved, just practice makes perfect."

Mo Ye assumed she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask the question again. "So, was it... you personally who went up with the longbow?"

Yang Jianwu nodded, "Yes, I'll do it."

Mo Ye glanced at Yang Jianwu. Xiao Wu'er was quite tall for a woman, but how could she exert any strength to pull up a longbow that was about the same height as her?

Yang Jianwu felt Mo Ye's suspicious gaze. "Your Highness Prince Ning, what kind of look is that?"

Mo Ye laughed and said, "I'm just curious, even if you can draw a longbow, you certainly don't have enough strength, so how can you shoot an arrow at a target a hundred paces away?"

Yang Jianwu glanced at the target. "This distance is considered close for a longbow. Is this the only distance you usually shoot with your longbows?!"

Yang Jianwu didn't mean to look down on the entire army when she said this; she was simply stating the facts she knew. This time, no one questioned her anymore. They believed that if Miss Yang could speak out, she could definitely shoot even farther.

Only Jingnan, the idiot, asked what everyone was thinking: "Miss Yang, do you mean you can use a longbow to shoot farther than the current target?"

Yang Jianwu felt that Jing Nan was really... an idiot? She had explained it so clearly, so why did he still ask such a stupid question?

He sighed, "Your parents gave you a good birth, but do they know you don't use your brain when you go out?"

"Wh...what do you mean..." Jing Nan didn't know how to respond. This...

Mo Ye didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, oh, this is saying that Jing Nan is brainless... He secretly covered his mouth, no, he had to hold back his laughter and save face for his brother.

As the sun rose higher, Yang Jianwu, not wanting to get a tan, pointed to the last of the three bodyguards Jing Nan had brought earlier, and asked, "Was it him who challenged me to a longbow contest?"

Hongbei glanced at Moye, who was well aware of their skill level. Moye gestured for Hongbei to step back. "Xiaowu'er, I believe that if you both perform normally in the competition, you can hit the bullseye. I want to know how you shoot the longbow a greater distance."

Mo Ye spoke sincerely, and Yang Jianwu could see that he genuinely wanted to improve the army's level. "Alright, I'll show you. Go and have someone move the bullseye back fifty paces, and then switch to a heavier arrow."

Jing Nan was slightly surprised. "Heavy arrows? Longbows are difficult to draw to begin with, are you sure you want to switch to heavy arrows?"

Mo Ye felt that Jing Nan was usually very smart, but he would often act silly whenever he talked to Xiao Wu'er. Was Xiao Wu'er too smart? Or was his brother too silly?

No one paid any attention to Jing Nan, but Jing Nan didn't feel embarrassed. He ordered someone to fetch the heavy arrows.

Yang Jianwu took the heavy arrow, placed it horizontally on the bow, braced his left foot against the bowstring, and pulled the string with his right hand, his left foot and right hand forming a straight line; his left hand lightly supported the bow, while his right foot was straight and supporting him on the ground.

Mo Ye suddenly realized that he had used his body to open up the longbow. With his arms outstretched and his body length combined, he was able to draw a longbow longer than an adult man could, so he would have enough power and shoot it a farther distance.

Yang Jianwu released the red tassel she was holding with her right hand, and the heavy arrow, propelled by the longbow, shot straight into the bullseye, hitting the bullseye without any surprise!

The longbow, propelled forward by the force of the impact, was pulled back by Yang Jianwu hooking his foot on the string.

"it is good!"

"Miss Yang is amazing!"

"Miss Yang is awesome!"

At this moment, Yang Jianwu was considered a divine archer by the soldiers. Even her maid was so skilled, and she had shot a distance beyond the soldiers' comprehension.

Yang Jianwu drew another heavy arrow, pulled back the longbow as before, raised her left foot, and leaned her whole body to the right, forming a "大" (big) shape from a distance. She released the red tassel with her fingers, and the heavy arrow shot straight into the sky. Then she bent down and flew down in a perfect parabola, the heavy arrow diagonally into the bullseye, and the tip of the arrow pierced through the target.

"Miss Yang is amazing!"

"Miss Yang is awesome!"

"Miss Yang, why don't you stay and teach us?"

Hong Dian's eyes sparkled. "From today onwards, Miss Yang will be my role model!"

Hongfeng clapped his hands and said, "Haven't you always looked up to His Highness Prince Ning?"

Hong Dian glanced at Hong Feng, "That's different. Miss Yang's archery skills are far superior to Prince Ning's!"

Hongyun covered Hongdian's mouth, "Shh, be careful the prince hears!"

"Hehe, His Highness is very understanding and won't mind." Hong Dian removed Hong Yun's hand and secretly pointed in Mo Ye's direction. "And look, His Highness's gaze towards Miss Yang has changed."

Hongyun nodded in agreement, "Hey, you know what, Your Highness has never seen a woman so captivated."

Hongfeng also sensed the gossip.

Yang Jianwu picked up the third heavy arrow and nocked it on the bow. This time, she sat cross-legged on the ground, bracing her feet against the bowstring, and pulled back the string with both hands, gripping the heavy arrow. Hmm... her posture didn't seem as graceful as before...

Yang Jianwu released the red tassel from the arrow's fletching, and the arrow shot out at an even faster speed than before. This time, it not only hit the bullseye, but the entire arrow pierced through the target and embedded itself diagonally in the ground.

Yang Jianwu hooked the longbow string with both feet, threw it upwards with force, and stood up straight, bringing the longbow back steadily into her hand.

The entire training ground fell silent. It was Mo Ye who first led the applause, saying, "Little Wu'er, you are the most extraordinary woman I have ever met."

Hong Dian, that simpleton, went straight up to Yang Jianwu and said, "Miss Yang, do you take on apprentices? I promise that as long as I don't do anything detrimental to the Ning Prince's Mansion, I will listen to you."

Hong Dian's words drew a burst of laughter, among which some people also wanted to become Yang Jianwu's apprentices. They felt that being ridiculed was worth it to receive guidance from such a powerful master.
