Huo Qing leapt onto her horse and galloped forward.
The horse moved at a great speed, and she quickly raised her longbow.
As the horse neared the target, a "whoosh" sound cut through the air—a single arrow was loosed, striking dead center.
While her marksmanship was excellent, it did not seem extraordinary; she appeared to be merely a skilled archer. Compared to the demonstrations given earlier by Madam Ning and Madam Miao, this Lady Qing seemed somewhat lackluster.
However, just as Huo Qing rode back, the guard who had gone to the target to retrieve the arrows suddenly cried out in shock, "Three! There are three arrows!"
What? Three arrows?
Everyone present, save for the few top-tier masters who had seen clearly, was stunned.
They had clearly seen her fire only once; how could there be three? They hadn’t seen Lady Qing loose a second or third arrow at all! Could the guard be mistaken?
The guard retrieved the three arrows, hurried before the Emperor, and knelt with a thud, holding the arrows up with both hands.
"Reporting to the Emperor and the Empress: Lady Qing truly fired three arrows just now!"
It really was three arrows! How was that possible? They hadn't even caught a glimpse of it.
