As soon as he said this, some other Mongolian officials echoed one after another, "That's right. Hitting the same spot with three arrows requires such superb archery skills! How could a mere woman achieve that?"
Su Mingyu was rendered speechless by their remarks. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Ruobai said coldly, "These words were personally spoken by Tuo Ba Wuyi. Does the Khan not trust his own subordinate?"
"It's not that I don't trust him. It's just that this is too incredible. How can I believe it?" The Khan's face still looked extremely ugly. He had finally managed to save some face for Mongolia, but unexpectedly, Tuo Ba Wuyi had sold it out in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the carefully - selected Tuo Ba Wuyi had actually been defeated by such a woman. How could he swallow this humiliation?
"Yeah, although it's true that these words came from Tuo Ba Wuyi, what if this woman knows some sorcery and has bewitched Tuo Ba Wuyi?"
"Besides, judging from the wounds on their bodies, it's obvious that Tuo Ba Wuyi looks more like he participated in the fight, right?"
"Right! Right! Look at Miss Su. She's been so neat from head to toe. She doesn't look like someone who's been in a great battle at all."
Hearing their doubts, Su Mingyu frowned.
It seemed that in every era, men didn't allow women to shake their authority.
She had just killed a bear, and look how anxious these people were.
"Little girl from the Su family," the Emperor suddenly looked at Su Mingyu with a half - smile and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Su Mingyu saw the look on his face as if he was watching a show. She knew he must have had some ill intentions. Instead of waiting for the Emperor to make things difficult for her, it was better for her to speak first.
So Su Mingyu rubbed her temples impatiently and said, "If you really don't believe me, I'll demonstrate it for you on the spot."
Not to mention hitting the same hole with three arrows, she could do it with ten or twenty arrows.
In the 21st century, her day - and - night shooting training wasn't for nothing.
Not to mention anything else, just her marksmanship was unrivaled even in the 21st century, let alone in this world where no one knew how to use guns.
A hint of smile flashed in the Emperor's deep eyes, but his tone remained calm, "Think it over before you speak."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows, "Since these people don't believe me, this is the only way for them to directly feel what Tuo Ba Wuyi saw at that time."
"Good, you have backbone." The Emperor smiled broadly and raised his hand, signaling to arrange what Su Mingyu needed.
After a target and arrows were quickly prepared, Lord Zhang came before the Emperor, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. Miss Su can take her position."
Su Mingyu glanced at the target that wasn't placed very far away and frowned, "Move it farther."
Lord Zhang was stunned, "But this is already the standard distance for our military training."
"Just do as I say." Su Mingyu frowned sternly, "The black bear was a moving living thing, while your target doesn't move. If it's not placed farther away, how can I convince everyone?"
As soon as Su Mingyu said this, many people present couldn't help but think that this woman was extremely arrogant.
Only Gu Ruobai calmly sat behind her, seemingly not worried at all.
The King of Yu also fixed his eyes on Su Mingyu. This woman actually had such skills. It was really a pleasant surprise.
"Humph, be careful not to bite your tongue off with such big talk," the Khan's face was still as dark as thick ink, "A naive girl is so arrogant. I'd like to see if you can really do it."
Saying this, the Khan contemptuously glanced at Su Mingyu, "Don't just be bragging. If you fail, you'll not only lose your own face, but also the face of your entire dynasty. That would truly be a disgrace to the world."
Su Mingyu was too lazy to look at him. She raised the bow and arrow, aimed almost casually, and then shot the arrow in her hand.
Her casual way of shooting made many people present break out in a cold sweat.
With this attitude, it was uncertain whether she could even hit the bull's - eye, yet she was so confident that she could hit the same spot with three arrows.
Everyone knew that the Khan was just waiting to see her make a fool of herself! How could Su Mingyu be so oblivious to the situation?
But just when everyone was on tenterhooks, Su Mingyu's arrow had already precisely hit the bull's - eye.
"She actually hit it!"
Someone's exclamation made everyone can't help but gasp.
"Humph, it's just good luck. There are still two arrows. I'd like to see if you can really hit it," although the Khan said so, from his concentrated look, it was clear that he was also a bit unsure.
Because Su Mingyu's performance was really too astonishing. With just a casual shot, she actually hit the target.
Su Mingyu didn't care about the Khan's sarcasm at all. She successively raised her hand and shot three sharp arrows in one breath.
Each arrow hit the bull's - eye accurately. Moreover, one arrow even pierced through another arrow before hitting the bull's - eye.
Those who had just been mocking immediately shut their mouths. Even the best archers from the military camp couldn't match such skills.
Tuo Ba Wuyi was also so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Although he had seen Su Mingyu shoot the black bear with his own eyes and knew that her archery skills were definitely good, he didn't know that she was so amazing. This woman really kept a low profile!
The people below boiled over, "Who on earth is this Su Mingyu! I heard that she had a poetry competition on the King of Yu's flower boat before. She could compose several poems off the top of her head. And now she shows such amazing archery skills! She's too incredible!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Another person continued, "Especially the poem about the country and family affection. The line 'The thread in the loving mother's hand, for the body of her wayward boy' is simply amazing!"
"What? She wrote that?" A shocked voice almost drowned out everyone else, "And 'Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure', did she write that too?"
After getting a positive answer, those men who had just mocked Su Mingyu for being a woman couldn't help but lower their heads.
They were inferior to her in both poetry and martial arts.
What right did they have to mock Su Mingyu?
Hearing the discussions about her, Su Mingyu calmly put away the arrows, then turned to look at the Khan, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a faint smile, "Well?"
The Khan's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
