Lu Ming shook his head and was speechless. He felt like he was playing the piano with a cow.
"Actually, I was just pretending at first. I thought it would be grand to eat like this, but as I started eating, I really started to like it." Zhang Ziyang explained with some embarrassment.
After the two of them finished eating, they left the hotel. Zhang Ziyang sent Lu Ming home, and then drove to Cailian's place to spend the night. Now he basically doesn't go back to his own place, and he and Cailian are living together.
Lu Ming was not in a hurry to see Sheng Youde. Since Huang Yanning had already met Sheng Youde, he knew everything he needed to know.
Huang Yanning didn't tell Lu Ming anything new. The main thing was that he had to go out and rescue Yuan Ziyuan.
This is where Lu Ming is anxious. He must find the key as soon as possible and uncover the answer to the mystery.
He read the three letters horizontally and vertically, countless times. He had already memorized the contents of the letters, and could even recite them backwards and forwards, but he still could not find anything unusual.
Why not take this opportunity to play calligraphy? It’s a good time to relax your mind.
Back at his apartment, Lu Ming simply found a roll of rice paper that had not been used for a long time, then took out an inkstone and a Hu pen, sharpened the ink, and then used a brush to write three letters side by side on a long piece of rice paper.
I wrote three pictures in a hurry, pressed them on the wall with thumbtacks, and then stood there and looked at them over and over again.
He tried to scramble the three letters and then reassemble them using the words inside to see if he could find the hidden information.
He continued to try various combinations over and over until midnight, but could not find any useful information. In the end, he became numb and dizzy. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he lay on the sofa and fell asleep with his head tilted.
The next morning, Yuan Mingzhu came, and Lu Ming was still asleep. Yuan Mingzhu now had the key to the apartment, so he came in directly.
As soon as Yuan Mingzhu entered the door, she saw several pieces of paper with dragons and phoenixes posted on the wall. She felt happy. She was about to appreciate Lu Ming's calligraphy, but she stopped in shock. She looked at her sister's nailed on the wall in surprise.
The letter was copied by Lu Ming with a brush. Suddenly an ominous thought came to his mind and he kicked Lu Ming awake.
"Get up, lazy pig, the sun is shining on your butt." Yuan Mingzhu shouted loudly.
Lu Ming woke up, looked at Yuan Mingzhu standing in front of him, and asked unconsciously: "What time is it now? You are here."
"I'm not here. If I hadn't come earlier, I wouldn't have known you had this plan in mind." Yuan Mingzhu snorted coldly.
"What's the plan?" Lu Ming was confused.
"Tell me why you nailed my sister's letter to the wall. Tell me honestly, do you have any bad thoughts about my sister?" Yuan Mingzhu said coldly.
"Ah, where are you? Am I confused, or are you confused?" Lu Ming was so frightened that he suddenly woke up, which was more effective than pouring a basin of ice water on his head.
"Let me ask you, tell me, why did you copy my sister's letter?" Yuan Mingzhu continued to kick him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have thoughts about Ziyuan? Sheng Di has to fight me with a knife." Lu Ming's brain was basically in a short-circuit state.
"Ah, you hid at home and copied your sister's letters, just because you were afraid of Sheng Di?" Mingzhu became even more angry when she heard this.
"Can there be something normal in your little head?" Lu Ming was so angry that he hit her on the head.
"You still dare to hit me? This is shocking!" Yuan Mingzhu suddenly bared her teeth and claws, grabbed Lu Ming's arm and twisted it hard. Lu Ming grinned in pain and did not dare to resist.
"You confess honestly, what's going on?" Yuan Mingzhu asked, pointing to the letter on the wall.
For a moment, Yuan Mingzhu was really scared. She was afraid that her sister and Lu Ming were ambiguous, so they secretly expressed their feelings to each other through secret letters and communicated secretly.
If this is the case, she really wants to die.
Even if Lu Ming gets involved with Yan Xiaohui, she is just a little sad and will not give up. But if she really gets involved with Yuan Ziyuan, she will really be heartbroken.
"That's it..." Lu Ming choked up as soon as he started speaking, not knowing how to explain.
He really couldn't tell Mingzhu the real situation. Yuan Ziyuan's experience was too complicated. First, he couldn't explain it clearly. Second, if he started from the beginning, he would have to tell Mingzhu that Yuan Ziyuan had been hiding in his apartment.
Alas, isn't this getting darker and darker as it is drawn?
And thirdly, if Mingzhu knew that Yuan Ziyuan was kidnapped by the Japanese, she might go crazy. But if she didn't tell the truth, it's really hard to explain the situation with three letters nailed to the wall like calligraphy.
"What kind of thing is it? Can you tell me?" Yuan Mingzhu thought he couldn't say it.
"I was working on a password design. There was no good version yesterday, so I suddenly came up with the idea of using Ziyuan's credit to design a password. If it succeeds, it will definitely be an unbreakable password." Lu Ming's mind is amazing.
It wasn't for nothing. After a sudden thought, I thought of a way to say it.
"Password? What the hell is the password?" Yuan Mingzhu's head went blank.
Lu Ming had no choice but to explain to her what the password was for. It was to share a password when sending telegrams to each other. In this way, only both parties could understand the communication. Even if others received the signal, they would not be able to decipher the original text.
"That's true, but why are you designing a password when you have nothing to do?" Yuan Mingzhu still couldn't believe it.
"As you know, I am still working a part-time job, or I am an observer in Shanghai for an American newspaper. I have to write reports for them every week, and they give me a monthly fee of US$500," Lu Ming said.
"Five hundred dollars? That's so much." Mingzhu was a little frightened.
Five hundred dollars at that time was indeed a fortune, double the salary of a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army.
"That's right, people give me such a high salary, and I have to work hard, but there are secrets in the things I write to them, and I can't send them with their passwords at the telegraph office, so I'm going to design a set of passwords myself.
This is a patriotic act, Mingzhu, you misunderstood me." Lu Ming said with great emotion, almost shedding a few tears.
"Hey, let me take a look. How to design the password?" Yuan Mingzhu was completely blinded by Lu Ming and fell into his trap.
Seeing her somewhat believing look, Lu Ming smiled inwardly: Little fool, if I can't deceive you, I'll take your last name.
"You see, these three letters from Ziyuan look ordinary. No one can read anything out of the ordinary. The more the encryption is made like this, the better the effect. Others cannot crack it at all, and they will believe that there is no secret at all."
Lu Ming explained in a lively manner.
"Well, that's right, I can't see anything, it's just a letter from the family." Yuan Mingzhu nodded.
"I just want to take apart the words and phrases in these three letters and reconstruct a set of practical passwords. Of course, I am just trying now, and I am still far from designing a perfect password. You can also help me think of a way.
." Lu Ming continued to fool Mingzhu.
Yuan Mingzhu had never been exposed to codes at all, and did not understand its meaning, but she understood it when Lu Ming explained it. In fact, it was a code word spoken by the Chinese.
Caobang has its own code words, also called slang, or Jianghu incisions, but the incisions are very simple. Compared with the complexity and precision of cryptography, it is like the difference between a computer and an axe.
"Then you teach me and I'll help you design." Yuan Mingzhu became interested.
"This is difficult to learn. You have to first learn cryptography principles, design principles, etc." Lu Ming said nonsense.
In fact, he doesn't understand cryptography because he has never learned it. Cryptography is a specialized knowledge, not much worse than mathematics and physics.
In principle, cryptography is based on advanced mathematics. It is much easier for people who understand mathematics to decipher codes.
