Chapter 29 The secret that is not told
In the governor's mansion, Jiangdu governor Wei Lihu stood in the yard, squinting at a carrier pigeon circling in the sky. Soon, the carrier pigeon landed in the governor's mansion.

A servant came running over and handed him a pigeon tube, "Sir, there's a letter from the capital!"

Wei Lihu nodded, opened the mailbox, shook out a roll of thin silk, and slowly unfolded it. There were two small lines of words written on it.

Wei Lihu looked at the pigeon letter without saying a word and walked back to the hall. He threw the pigeon letter into the incense burner, and the thin silk quickly turned into a wisp of green smoke.

"Envoy, what does the capital say?" asked the aide Zhou Lu in a low voice.

Wei Lihu sat down, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The prince asked me to stop all assassination attempts."

"Is this the result of Xiao Cong's visit to Beijing?"

"should be!"

Wei Lihu nodded, "The princess is angry, the prince doesn't dare to mess around."

Zhou Lu whispered again: "In fact, I have always felt that the child is more useful alive than dead."

Wei Lihu sighed, "I understand the logic, but we don't know what the people above are thinking."

After a pause, Wei Lihu said, "Pei Wen'an has come to Jiangdu."

"Ah! The King of Han is also intervening?"

"The river is a piece of fat meat, everyone wants to take a bite, humph!"

Wei Lihu snorted heavily, and said to Zhou Lu: "Keep looking for Shan Xiongying's whereabouts. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

…………

The next morning, the obstacle-breaking state arrived again as expected, and Xiao Xia began to split the rope again.

After an hour, he gradually found a trick, which was to block out everything, focus all his mental energy on his eyesight, and then coordinate his hands and eyes to the extreme.

He chopped lightly with his knife, and the hemp rope was split into two, with the two strands divided into four and six parts. The first step was successful.

Xiao Xia then changed another rope and practiced the first step. The previous cut was 46 points, and the next one he would practice was 37 points, and then 28 points, and he kept practicing smaller and smaller points, and finally practiced to 19 points, splitting it into a thin thread. Then he could practice the second step, splitting the rope into three strands.

Xiao Xia didn't know that the rope-splitting he was practicing was actually the most important step in martial arts, which was hand-eye coordination, or simply put, accuracy. If he practiced this thoroughly, he would be able to do it with ease in the future, whether practicing throwing knives or archery.

But in building the foundation and consolidating the essence, he was actually practicing controlling his eyesight. Later he would also have to practice controlling his hearing, practice controlling his extrasensory abilities, and even practice controlling his leg strength, which was the basis of Qinggong.

As time went by, the incident at the dock was completely settled and did not cause any trouble for Xiao Xia.

Xiao Hu did not come to settle the score with Xiao Xia. He probably thought he had found a great bargain and put the Frost Sword into his collection cabinet.

Xiao Xia gradually stopped taking this matter to heart, and Zhang Jue gave him another sword. Although it was not a famous sword, it was still relatively sharp. However, Xiao Xia was not used to it. He still liked the Frost Sword that could stab and cut.

Anyway, he couldn't see Xiao Hu now, so he might as well get the Frost Sword back after a few days.

He continued to practice splitting the rope with all his heart every day. After practicing for more than a month, he was able to split the rope into eight parts, and his obstacle-breaking state was extended to three hours.

But he still couldn't exit or enter at will. It took time. Zhang Jue told him that it would take him at least a year to complete the consolidation of his Yuan.

This day was the two-month appointment he had with the nun, so he didn't have to go to the small bridge and wait there in the afternoon like he did the first time.

There were night watchmen, so he could sleep until four o'clock and still have time to set off.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
"It's dry, be careful with the candlelight, quarter past four!"

After the night watchman walked away, Xiao Xia took the Frost Sword and quietly went out. He ran to the east of the city in one breath, climbed out from the gap in the city wall next to the Golden Lotus Temple, and ran directly to the woods.

After waiting by the small bridge for a while, a white cloud slowly came over. Xiao Xia hadn't seen the little nun for two months, and she felt very close to her.

"Junior Sister Fairy, you are becoming more and more beautiful!" Xiao Xia greeted her with a face as sweet as honey.

The little nun was a little unhappy, and said coldly: "How many young ladies have you, a big monkey, coaxed with sweet words?"

"No! I haven't come to the Sui Dynasty yet..." Xiao Xia almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly bit his tongue.

"Are you also from the Chen Dynasty? No way!" The little nun misunderstood Xiao Xia's meaning. Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I mean, I was hit on the head more than two months ago, and I have forgotten everything that happened before. I have lived two lives, and the little sister is the first young lady I have seen after my rebirth."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" The little nun blinked her big eyes.

"The bucktoothed girl from Lao Liu's family doesn't count!"

The little nun covered her mouth and laughed, "You are so wicked. You call me a bucktooth girl. It's just that my teeth are slightly protruding. How can it be so ugly?"

The nun realized that she had let something slip, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly changed the subject: "I actually wanted to remind you not to be slick with your words, or people will think you are a frivolous boy."

"How am I frivolous?"

Xiao Xia cried out in injustice, "I call you Fairy Junior Sister from the bottom of my heart. Do you think I would call you that to everyone I meet?"

"That's enough! That's enough! I have bumps on my back."

The little nun felt sweet in her heart and smiled. She took two steps back and slowly drew out her long sword. "Now is the time for me to test you, my big monkey brother!"

Without saying a word, she stabbed Xiao Xia in the heart with her sword, as fast as lightning and extremely ruthless.

Xiao Xia was horrified and turned around in panic to avoid the sword. The little nun was stunned for a moment, "Good body movement, take another sword from me!"

She leaned back, and a ray of cold light from the top of her head pierced towards Xiao Xia's throat at an incredibly fast speed. Xiao Xia did not think twice, and his neck dodged, and the little Taoist nun's sword missed.

The little Taoist nun moved as smoothly as flowing water, and stabbed at him with her sword again and again, with each strike aimed at his vital points. Although Xiao Xia was in a very bad state, he was able to counter each move and dodge each one accurately.

The little Taoist nun stabbed out more than forty swords in one breath, forcing Xiao Xia to gasp for breath, but his speed was also at its limit. He dodged and moved as fast as lightning, but still failed to stab the opponent with a single sword.

Suddenly, the little nun's hand trembled, and she thrust out a strange sword. It was as if the process of thrusting out the sword disappeared. As soon as the sword was thrust out, it was right in front of her eyes.

Xiao Xia was unable to dodge and felt a pain in his left arm as he was stabbed by a sword.

The little nun was so shocked that she put away her sword and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Xia covered his left arm. Although he was stabbed, there was no bleeding. He smiled bitterly and said, "It didn't pierce, but with the last sword, you broke the barrier."

Only by breaking through obstacles can the sword's speed be so fast and the force so precise that it can pierce without breaking the skin.

The little nun suddenly got angry, glared at him and scolded him, "Why didn't you stab back? Where are the thirteen swords you learned? Did you feed them to the dogs?"

"You're too fast. I don't even have a chance to draw my sword!"

Xiao Xia argued, "Besides, how long have you been practicing? How long have I only been practicing?"

"Didn't you defeat more than fifty people by yourself? Why can't you do it now?"

"Can they compare with you?"

A little flattery immediately calmed the little nun down.

"Okay! I was asking too much. Two months is indeed too short."

The nun's eyes softened. "I shouldn't be angry, but every step you take to dodge is a counter-move of the Thirteen Swords. Don't you realize that?"

Xiao Xia was stunned. Could it be that the Thirteen Swords also included dodging and defense?
The little nun coughed and said with a straight face, "You failed the test this time. I will give you one more chance. I will test you again in a month. You must counterattack my three swords. If you still can't do it, I can't teach you anymore."

Xiao Xia said with a cheeky smile: "Fairy Junior Sister, please teach me a few more moves! How can I improve if I just stupidly practice sword skills alone?"

The little nun sighed, "You! I've explained it so clearly, but you still haven't understood. You should think carefully about what I just said. That is the essence of the entire sword technique. It is the secret of my master. I also promised my master that I would not pass it on to anyone. You...you should take care of yourself!"

After saying that, she bit her lips lightly and floated away like a light cloud.

"Junior Sister, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

The voice of the little Taoist nun came from afar, "My lay name is Zhang Xiaoqiao, and my Taoist name is Chuchen!"
