Chapter 621: Eighty-five years old, the right age to make breakthroughs

This was obviously the first time Yu Lingye heard this term.

Xie Yingmian explained: "Morse code is a special secret."

"It can be done by striking objects, carving marks on wood, or raising beacons. There are many ways to pass it on."

“Short and long sounds, or short and long marks, when combined correspond to different meanings.”

"Let me give you the simplest example. The internationally recognized distress signal is three short, three long, and three short."

Xie Yingmian tapped the table with his fingers: "That's it."

"This kind of distress signal is especially useful in the wilderness or at sea."

Yu Lingye listened carefully: "It is indeed very practical and convenient."

Xie Yingmian looked at Yu Lingye: "So, what should we do next?"

"Wait." Yu Lingye said.

Xie Yingmian: "How long do you want to wait?"

Yu Lingye: "When the sun rises."

Xie Yingmian: "What if tomorrow is cloudy? Do we have to wait until the day after tomorrow? If the day after tomorrow is cloudy, do we have to wait until the day after tomorrow?"

Yu Lingye smiled and said, "Your idea is not wrong."

"Be patient. When this is over, the horn of the rising sun will sound."

Xie Yingmian: "It turns out that this sun rising is not that sun rising."

She found a pen and paper and recorded the drum sounds.

After finishing the recording, he called out to Sui Sui, "Sui Sui, can you help me analyze this Morse code?"

Sui Sui did not respond.

"Sui Sui?"

Xie Yingmian called out several times but didn't hear any response from Sui Sui.

Not only did she not find Sui Sui, she couldn't even find Xie Jingyun.

"Strange, where did Sui Sui and Xie Jingyun go?"

Yu Lingye: "Entering the palace."

Xie Yingmian paused, "The Third Prince is rebelling, why are they joining in the fun?"

Yu Lingye: "Xie Jingyun had some personal grudges with the emperor, and he said he wanted to resolve them personally. Sui Sui was worried, so she went with him."

"Don't worry, Qing Huang and Qing Xiao are here."

“Shen Tingsi is here too. He will keep an eye on them and won’t let them do anything wrong.”

Xie Yingmian: "Did you summon Qingxiao back?"

Yu Lingye shook his head: "It's not me."

"It was Xie Jingyun who summoned Qing Xiao back."

"Xie Jingyun said Qingxiao is a combat-capable android. When fully empowered, he can defeat an army of thousands. Xie Jingyun is probably afraid of suffering at the hands of the emperor and wants more help."

Xie Yingmian: "Have Zhou Ying and the others returned as well?"

Yu Lingye said: "No."

"I asked Zhou Ying to lead the subordinates of Feiyang Commandery to Chilu. Pei Xun, Ao Yun, Jing Yun and others also went with them. They should have arrived in Chilu by now."

"Oh, by the way, Chi Jing sent back a letter."

Yu Lingye handed the letter to Xie Yingmian.

After Xie Yingmian finished reading, the smile on her face grew wider.

Yu Lingye looked at Xie Yingmian with some curiosity: "What did you write?"

Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "It's a letter from my senior brother."

"The last time my senior brother wrote to me, his tone was rather heavy, but he didn't say anything in the letter, only that everything was fine."

"I specifically wrote to Chi Jing and asked him about this. Chi Jing said that Princess Mingyi's health is obviously not as strong as before due to the great changes that the Cui family has experienced and the fact that she took the drug that caused her to appear dead. She may not be able to hold on for much longer. The Cui family members are all blaming themselves."

"My senior brother wrote in a letter this time that Princess Mingyi was very weak and bedridden. She was dying. One day, she wanted to go out for a walk and met an old lady of her own age."

"The old lady is working, walking briskly and looking very energetic."

"Construction is underway everywhere in Chilu, and the atmosphere is bustling. The atmosphere has even infected Princess Mingyi."

"Princess Mingyi asked the maids to keep it a secret from their families and work with the old lady, moving bricks."

"Work is distributed according to work. The more you work, the more you earn, and the less you work, the less you earn."

"Princess Mingyi didn't go there to make money, so just do it slowly."

"At first, the maids were terrified. For younger people, moving bricks is nothing, but Princess Mingyi is 85 years old and in poor health. If something bad happens to her, they won't be able to explain it."

"Princess Mingyi not only did it herself, she also asked the maids to do it with her."

"The maids saw that Princess Mingyi was in high spirits, so they didn't dare to force her to stop. They called the doctor to stand by and be ready to save her at any time."

"No one expected that Princess Mingyi not only didn't need a doctor, but after returning to work, she ate more, slept more soundly, and her complexion improved."

"She works harder and harder every day, calling herself a sister to other elderly women her own age. She also tells everyone that 85 is the age to make breakthroughs."

"The Cui family saw that Princess Mingyi was becoming more and more energetic, so they just let her go."

Xie Yingmian couldn't imagine the scene of the elegant old lady of Princess Mingyi sweating profusely while moving bricks.

She smiled and said, "I'm already looking forward to going to Red Deer."

Yu Lingye said, "Soon."

Midnight.

The concentration of fog reached its peak.

Visibility in the dense fog was less than one meter.

The drumbeats that represented the army's assembly had long since stopped, replaced by the sound of uniform footsteps.

Footsteps echoed in the streets and alleys.

In families that have dogs, the dogs are barking at the top of their lungs as if they are risking their lives.

When the people hiding in their homes heard the ghost's footsteps, they were all scared and turned pale and trembled.
