Chen Feiyan was getting restless and her face was full of anxiety.
Seeing the person lying motionless on the ground on the dueling platform, her eyes reddened, and she stammered, "Princess, Yi, Yi Mian, do you think we can win this time? I don't want Great Jin to lose again."
This is their best chance to win yet.
Having finally managed to tie with the Tuyuhun people in the competition, if they were to lose this final round, the Tuyuhun people would become even more arrogant, and they wouldn't just come to beg for peace anymore.
Liu'er looked at her with a tense expression. The ease she felt earlier because Jiang Yimian had won against Tu Kun had long since vanished.
After watching several matches, she became increasingly aware of how terrifying these Tuyuhun people were.
Naturally strong, ruthless, and using insidious techniques.
This was still on the competition stage. It was hard to believe how the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, who fought on the border year after year, had survived countless battles with these people.
Jiang Yimian simply said, "The Great Jin will win."
The two were taken aback, but in the end they just nodded emphatically.
When he raised his head again, his face still showed worry, but his eyes were unusually bright. He joined the people around him in calling out Lieutenant General Li's name.
Jiang Yimian was moved as she listened to the deafening shouts.
As soon as he stood up, his gaze met that of Aguzan, who was not far away.
Just as she was about to look away, Aguzan raised his cup high towards her and downed it in one gulp, as if in celebration.
It's unclear whether this is for the sake of Tuyuhun or the Jin Dynasty.
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on the person standing next to Aguzan. The person was tall with a high nose bridge, a typical Tuyuhun person, but his huge size was somewhat strange.
After thinking for a while, she asked the person next to her, "While I was away, did anyone leave Aguzan's side?"
Liu'er was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, I didn't notice."
Jiang Yimian's competition had just ended, and the whole place was in an uproar.
Then the second competition began. She was completely focused on the competition and had no time to spare for the Tuyuhun people, nor did she know who had left.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at the burly man next to Aguzan and then looked back at the competition stage.
Aguzan glanced at Jiang Yimian, listened to what the person next to him was saying, raised an eyebrow, and his already beautiful eyes became more playful.
Abiya watched from the side and scoffed, "What, Second Brother, are you interested in Princess Ning'an? If you really like her, why don't you go and ask the Emperor of Jin for her after this archery banquet? He might agree."
However, if he were to marry a woman from the Great Jin Dynasty, Father Khan would probably dislike my second brother even more.
Her eyes held a hint of mockery.
If her second brother really dared to ask for Jiang Yimian's hand in marriage, it would be a great thing for her.
Aguzan simply withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "You should take care of yourself first. If we lose this archery banquet, you will be held responsible."
"You've already humiliated the Tuyuhun before the banquet even began, and demoralized their warriors. You know your father's methods."
The person who came to Dajin this time was originally Aliji, but for some reason it turned out to be him and Abiya.
He was just there to make a show of things; everything was prepared by Aliji's people. With such a huge blunder on the eve of the banquet, the only ones who will suffer are Abiya and her brother.
Abiya was speechless with anger and sneered, "Just watch, we will be the ones to win this Yan Archery Banquet."
After saying that, he ignored the people around him and looked straight at the competition stage.
Li Canjiang had somehow gotten up from the ground, and the cheers in the training ground became even more excited.
He gripped the spear tightly, his body swaying slightly, and even the scene before him was blurry, but he still managed to stand firm despite his discomfort.
The old chieftain of Tuyuhun looked at the person in front of him and laughed. "You can still stand up? Very well, let these people from Dajin who cheered for you see how you were defeated by me. You people from Dajin can never compare to us people from Tuyuhun."
As he spoke, he took the axe in his hand and chopped straight at the person not far away.
The sharp axe was still covered in sticky blood, and just looking at it sent chills down one's spine.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw. Even the heavily injured soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty below the arena gasped in surprise.
Unfortunately, Li Canjiang was still clearly dizzy and had difficulty even standing, let alone seeing the axe swinging towards him.
The old leader was immediately overjoyed. The thought that the long war of attrition was finally coming to an end made him feel much more relaxed.
However, at that moment, the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty below the arena suddenly shouted: "General Li, think of Princess Ning'an, think of us. We have fought for so long, just to win."
Princess Ning'an has taken care of Tu Kun for us; we deserve to win at least once.
"Yes, we should win at least once."
More and more shouts mingled in, echoing through the empty training ground.
Li Canjiang felt the dizziness slowly disappear, and the shouts in his ears gradually became clearer. He subconsciously swung his spear in front of him, and the axe that was originally going to chop down on his head was thus deflected.
Before the old leader could react, the spear continued its attack on him.
His moves were sharp and ruthless, and he showed no signs of injury. Compared to the previous fight, his moves seemed to be even more troublesome for him now.
The old chief looked surprised and doubtful, only to be forced to retreat repeatedly by the opponent's attacks, his axe almost flying out of his hand.
But the previously lifeless man, seemingly tireless, once again brandished his spear and bravely fought back, leaving the other man struggling to defend himself.
A cheer erupted in the training ground, and the cheers, along with the encouragement from the crowd below the arena, only made Li Canjiang swing his spear even more forcefully.
The Tuyuhun side remained unusually silent, watching their old leader being beaten and forced to retreat, only glaring angrily at the people below the arena.
They simply couldn't understand why the person who was about to lose would unleash such powerful strength again, with moves even more ferocious than when he was uninjured.
Abiya was seething with hatred, wanting to shut those people up, but the entire training ground was filled with their cheers.
Even her anger was suppressed.
Hearing the encouragement from the crowd below, Li Canjiang felt his body filled with strength again. He stared intently at the person he had suppressed and roared, "Our Great Jin will definitely win!"
Having said that, he began to wield his spear even more rapidly.
The old leader was overwhelmed and began to stagger backward.
The previous fight with this person had already exhausted him, and he had also been injured by this person. So the sudden outburst from the other party and the ruthlessness of his moves had slightly shocked him.
The cheers and applause that filled the arena further dampened his enthusiasm.
Even the way he swung the axe in his hand carried a hint of caution.
