With only one bird remaining in the sky, two arrows were simultaneously shot at it.
With a "plop," the bird landed on the ground.
The sky finally returned to calm, and the azure blue that had been obscured by birds reappeared before everyone's eyes.
The servants hurriedly went to pick up the birds that had fallen all over the princess's residence.
Although Abiya still maintained her haughty demeanor, there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Yimian. "You actually lied to me. However, although you have good aim, you don't handle a bow and arrow often. I will definitely win this time."
If she hadn't underestimated her opponent at the beginning, she would have won much more easily.
Jiang Yimian only glanced at her indifferently and didn't say anything.
They were just estimating the number of shots the two had taken down.
She hasn't touched a bow in a long time, so it's really hard to say who will win or lose. Abiya is indeed very skilled.
Chen Feiyan, standing to the side, became dissatisfied. She glared at Abiya and said irritably, "Who lied to you? I said from the beginning that the princess is very powerful. You just didn't believe it."
Abiya choked, wanting to retort, but in the end she just snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You Jin people are good at using dirty tricks, but I will definitely win."
Having said that, she simply raised her head high and stared at the servants returning from all directions.
Granny Gui quickly stepped forward and asked, "How did it go? How many did each of you hit the target?"
The leader hesitated for a moment before saying, "Forty blue arrows hit, forty red arrows hit, and there's one more. Both arrows hit it at the same time."
As he spoke, he picked up a bird and showed it to everyone.
Two arrows, one red and one blue, pierced through the body of a completely black bird.
The red arrow pierced the bird's heart, while the blue arrow only barely penetrated the lower part of the bird's abdomen.
Abiya stared at the servants in disbelief, saying, "Nonsense, impossible! There must be something wrong with this. How could she have hit the same number of targets as me?"
Even though she had hit several arrows before the other person even started shooting, and even though the other person later shot three arrows at once, it was impossible for all of them to hit the target. She didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that someone who couldn't draw the bow at first could achieve a perfect score with every arrow.
Even though she almost missed the target amidst all the interference from so many birds, she didn't believe this person wouldn't.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feiyan immediately retorted, "What do you mean? You think there's a problem with the result just because you didn't win? Don't go too far. The princess shot three arrows at a time each time afterward. It's not surprising that she was able to catch up with your number of arrows."
"But you, you don't seem as formidable as you claim. What, are the women of the grasslands now only able to fight the women of the Great Jin to a draw?"
This person looked down on them, now they're dumbfounded, aren't they? The princess is the most powerful.
"you……"
Before Abiya could say anything more, she heard a clear, melodious male voice.
"Third sister, the count is correct, you did indeed tie."
Aguzan sat on a carved rosewood chair to the side, speaking casually, but his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yimian.
He saw everything clearly, even though others couldn't.
The woman in front of him was not a skilled archer, but she gradually became familiar with the feeling with each draw of the bow, and then slowly shot towards the birds in the air.
The first arrow barely hit the bird's abdomen and almost missed.
The second arrow landed on the upper abdomen.
The third arrow was aimed at the bird's chest.
As a result, every subsequent arrow hit the bird's chest.
If all the birds that Jiang Yimian shot were displayed, it would be clear that this person is making progress.
The first three arrows were merely a process of getting acquainted with the bow and arrow; the subsequent arrows revealed her true skill level. All the arrows pierced the birds' chests with perfect accuracy and precision, without the slightest deviation.
To be able to achieve such accuracy is truly terrifying.
Looking at Abiya's shots, they hit birds in various places.
In his view, the outcome of the match was already decided.
Abiya glared at Jiang Yimian, furious and full of resentment. She refused to believe that this person could fight her to a draw; she should have crushed her.
Seeing this, Xie Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you two don't want to continue to fight, then let's draw and the bet is void."
This is not a bad thing for either Tuyuhun or the Great Jin Dynasty.
Before the banquet, whichever side admits to being inferior to the other will be affected by the impact on their soldiers.
Abiya snorted coldly and glared at Jiang Yimian, saying, "Who said the bet is void? A bet made by me, Abiya, has never been void."
Since it's a tie, let's play another match until one of us wins.
This person was lucky to be able to tie with her this time.
She absolutely did not believe that someone who had only recently started using a bow and arrow could compare to someone like her who had practiced archery since childhood.
Moreover, the fact that they managed a draw means there's definitely something wrong with the result.
Whether someone cheated or the other person was just lucky, she will definitely beat this person this time.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, let's have another match then."
The competition just now was nothing more than practice for her.
We've just warmed up and finally regained our touch, so we can't just end it here yet.
Abiya just sneered and raised her chin, saying, "This time we'll have a fun competition. We'll still see who hits the most targets, but we'll be blindfolded."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd, and even Xie Yu frowned.
Chen Feiyan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "You decide on every match, and the ones you decide on are definitely the ones you are best at. It's not fair. We should decide on this match."
Others chimed in, "That's right, why should you decide on both matches? We should decide on this one."
"That's right, it's fair to set the content of the competition on both sides."
Abiya was speechless for a moment, glared at Chen Feiyan fiercely, and said with a displeased look, "What do you want to compete in? At least you should find a compromise like I did."
If this person were to choose any particular art form like music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, she would definitely lose.
She would never admit that women from the Tuyuhun Kingdom were inferior to women from the Jin Dynasty.
Seeing this, Chen Feiyan happily whispered to Jiang Yimian, "Yimian, what are you good at? This time, we'll definitely beat this annoying girl to a pulp and make her stop being so smug."
Hmph, how dare they look down on them? We'll make sure this arrogant person suffers a terrible fall.
Jiang Yimian simply said, "No need, let's just go with what the Third Princess said."
She felt more accomplished when she defeated her opponent in her area of expertise.
Upon hearing this, Abiya immediately became smug and said with a smile, "You have guts, but shooting arrows blindfolded doesn't rely on guts."
You won't be so lucky this time.
Compared to shooting arrows while looking at a target, shooting arrows blindfolded relies solely on hearing and the feel for the arrows developed through long-term archery practice.
Without extensive private practice, it would be impossible to hit the target accurately when it is not visible.
This guy is just waiting to lose.
