In the first literary test, Da Qi sent out the greatest Confucian scholar in the world in an attempt to overwhelm Dayong in knowledge. Shen Qinglan personally went to the exam and refuted the Confucian scholar's vomiting blood on the spot with a "Song of the Great Wind" and an exquisite theory of state governance.
In the second military test, Daqi sent the most powerful general in the army to challenge General Dayong. Shen Ce went to fight as planned and defeated the opponent with only ten moves.
The Regent of Daqi looked extremely ugly. Unwilling to fail, he suddenly proposed a third competition of "shooting skills" and asked for a living person to be used as a target.
He pointed at Xiao Wuji who was sitting on the dragon throne and said provocatively: "I heard that Emperor Dayong was once a marksman. How about today, His Majesty the Emperor himself serves as the target and I shoot this arrow?"
The whole place was in an uproar, and all the officials of Da Yong angrily reprimanded him for being rude, but Xiao Wuji had no expression on his face and didn't even raise his eyelids.
However, Shen Qinglan stood up slowly, took a heavy black iron bow, and looked at the Regent of Daqi coldly: "Why does your Majesty need to go out personally? I will play this game with you, and the Regent will be my target!"
The Regent of Daqi was shocked by her momentum and gritted his teeth and agreed. The two stood on both sides of the hall, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Shen Qinglan fully drew the bow string, narrowed her phoenix eyes, pointed the arrow tip directly at the throat of the Regent of Da Qi, and released her fingers without any hesitation.
