THE HUMBLE FAMILY'S DAUGHTER HAS A SPATIAL POCKET!

Chapter 559: Chapter 511, Deciphering (Two in One Large Chapter)_2

Xiao Yeyang was completely at a loss, “So what?”

Daohua said, “Take another look at what I’ve written.”

Daohua copied down the characters from the piece of paper, but beneath each character she wrote, there were two sets of Arabic numerals.

Xiao Yeyang pointed at the numbers and said, “This is the language of foreigners, which I recognize.” While speaking, he looked at Daohua with surprise, “You also read books by foreigners.”

Daohua was silent for a moment, “… I don’t read them often, these numbers, I just think they’re convenient for recording, so I learned them. Anyway, let’s not dwell on these trivial matters.”

Xiao Yeyang held the piece of paper with Daohua’s copied writing in his hand, “What could these numbers represent? ”

Daohua said, “They could represent that it might correspond to another character.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, “How do we find out the other character?”

Daohua shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know that.” Seeing Xiao Yeyang furrowing his brow, she thought for a while, then asked, “Do you know anything about Prince Ba?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “After the emperor grandfather passed away, Uncle Prince Ba was sent by the emperor to guard the Imperial Mausoleum. He hasn’t returned to the capital for many years. Why do you ask?”

Daohua said, “I want to know about Prince Ba’s preferences, like what books he likes to read?” As she spoke, she called Wang Manman over to bring the newly acquired storybook “Dream of the Red Chamber” and personally demonstrated it for Xiao Yeyang.

“Look at this ‘good’ character, two sets of numbers, the first 3 might signify the page number, and the subsequent 3 might be the third character on this page, which, in ‘Dream of the Red Chamber,’ corresponds to the character ‘dai’.”

After finishing her explanation, she looked toward Xiao Yeyang, “Do you understand what I mean now?”

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes lit up with amazement, looking at Daohua with delight, “How on earth did you come up with this? How did you manage to discover it?”

Daohua held her chin up proudly. How did it come about? She learned it from watching television.

Xiao Yeyang quickly used the method Daohua described to find the corresponding characters for the remaining words in “Dream of the Red Chamber.” When linked together, they didn’t make any sense, but he couldn’t hide his excitement.

No matter what, this was a brand-new lead.

Daohua suggested, “I think you should first investigate Prince Ba’s preferences. If my approach is correct, then the book these codes correspond to is very likely to be Prince Ba’s favorite.”

Just after she finished speaking, Gu Jian suddenly stood up, left for a moment, and returned holding the “Tao Te Ching,” “Try using this.”

Daohua took the “Tao Te Ching,” looking at Gu Jian with astonishment, “Master, do you read books, too?”

Gu Jian gave her a glance and didn’t pay any further attention to her.

Daohua shrugged and quickly handed the “Tao Te Ching” to Xiao Yeyang, and they began to search through it together.

“Misstep, seize, prefer, door, mansion, face, intent, tall, of, woman, village, inside, of, matter, fear, there is, leakage, danger…”

As these words jumped out of Daohua’s mouth one by one, both Xiao Yeyang’s and Gu Jian’s eyes, as well as the grandmother’s, widened.

Had they really cracked the method Prince Ba used to convey messages?!

While the others were thrilled, Daohua was filled with dread, patting her chest, “Thank heavens, I intercepted the message in time; otherwise, our family would surely have faced Prince Ba’s assassination.”

Xiao Yeyang, excitedly clutching the “Tao Te Ching,” saw Daohua’s fear and hurried over to comfort her, “Don’t think about things that haven’t happened.”

Daohua frowned, “But I’m scared. Last time was just luck, but what about the next time? My death is not important, but if it involves my grandmother and the others, I would be culpable even if I died a thousand times over.”

Xiao Yeyang knitted his brows, “With me here, nothing like that will happen.”

Daohua said, “But you can’t always watch over my home.”

At his young apprentice’s worries, Gu Jian was somewhat speechless, “Do you think your father and your brothers are useless, unable to protect their own home? Also, the last time you were kidnapped, you were merely brought along incidentally. Do you want there to be a next time, believing yourself to be a golden trinket that everyone wants to kidnap?”

Daohua was left speechless by his words, and with that distraction, the fear inside her dissipated.

Xiao Yeyang patted Daohua’s hand to sit down, “Alright, let’s quickly see what the message intercepted by Officer Wu is all about.”

Daohua helped Xiao Yeyang decipher it.

“June, fifteen, Hermit Abode, merchant, discuss, north, border, military, chaos, of, matter.”
