Half an hour has passed, on the merchant ship, Zhang Wangwang and Xu Laosi are commanding the mission Everyone is nervously moving all the valuable things to the deck, even if there is a little bit of hiding, they don't dare to do it, because whether they can save Ma Zheng is now secondary, everyone can see the scene of the letter falling into the hands of the pirates, this is not a joke, if something happens to this letter, everyone is guilty of a big crime!

And on the four-chariot warship not far away, Ma Zheng was tied with his legs and feet, and sat on the side under the close surveillance of several pirates, his eyes looked at the tense and busy merchant ship for a while, and stared at the door of the cabin where "Ruan Dawu" disappeared, and his face was full of anxiety.

"Did the pirate leader Nguyen Da Vu let the literate people on board read the letter? If he hadn't let people see the letter, what would he have done with it? Has the letter been torn up, burned or thrown into the sea by him?! What if he knew the contents of the letter by now? Is it to kill yourself and everyone? Or take this letter to the Liao State to invite merit......?! Ma Zheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, but this short half an hour was longer for him than all the half days, half a month or even half a year he had spent in his life, and the days were like years!

However, Ma Zheng didn't know that when he was praying that time would pass faster, the "Ruan Dawu" who made him extremely nervous was hoping that time would pass slowly.

In the cabin, "Ruan Dawu" sat motionless on a chair at the door, personally guarding the room, only to see that although his eyes kept turning back and forth on the two busy scholars in the middle of the room, he did not dare to make any movement, lest even the slightest movement would disturb the two of them.

"Ruan Dawu" is actually the "short-lived Erlang" Ruan Xiaowu, and the hundreds of so-called "Giant Shark Gang" pirates outside are the soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy Division of the Heavenly Dao Army, and the two scholars who are busy in front of him who are called "Brother Xiao and Brother Jin" by him are none other than Xiao Rang, who is known as the "Holy Hand Scholar", and Jin Dajian, who is known as the "Jade Arm Craftsman".

Xiao Rang is a famous calligrapher in the world, although he is not a family of his own, but he is very good at imitating handwriting, no matter whose handwriting it is, he can imitate it very similarly, almost fake.

Jin Dajian is the world's most accomplished gold and stone carver, no matter whose inscription, no matter how complex the carving process, he can only rely on the seal printed on the paper to carve the absolutely identical seal.

When Song Jiang was trapped in Jiangzhou, Dai Zong rushed to Liangshanbo to report the news, and Wu Yong asked Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to write a letter imitating Cai Jing's handwriting, and a seal carved by Cai Jing, intending to use fake letters and fake seals to deceive Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, and let Song Jiang go.

This is a sure thing, Cai Jiu didn't recognize that the letter was not written by his son Cai Jing after receiving the letter, and the chapter on the letter was not covered by Cai Jing, but who expected that Wu would use a hundred secrets to make Jin Dajian mistakenly engrave Cai Jing's name seal, how could Lao Tzu write a letter to his son and stamp his own name seal? This matter was seen through by Cai Jiu's staff Huang Wenbing, who almost ruined the lives of Song Jiang and Dai Zong.

Although this operation failed in the end, it could not hide the ability of Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian, this time Zheng Fei wanted to transfer the emperor's handwritten letter, in the most critical matter of how to make a letter that can be fake and true, no one can be more suitable than these two!

At the same time, in order to strive for perfection as much as possible, Zheng Fei not only obtained more than 20 pieces of holy decrees written by Emperor Zhao Ji himself in the shortest possible time, but also set aside his authentic handwriting outside the palace for Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to practice the emperor's handwriting. He even spent a lot of money to bribe the officials of the Imperial Court Supply Bureau in Bianliang, Tokyo, which specialized in supplying the emperor's imperial pen and paper, and brought in more than 30 kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones often used by the emperor, and even at least five kinds of inks used to seal seals.

All of this effort is for the moment!

Time passed minute by minute, whether it was Ma Zheng and the people of the mission who were still in the dark outside the cabin, or Ruan Xiaowu who was anxiously waiting in the cabin, and Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian, who had entered a state of selflessness and were devoting themselves to "fake", everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment that was most important to each other!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In fact, it didn't take half a day at all, it only took less than an hour, all the valuable things on the merchant ship had been moved to the deck, Zhang Wang nodded to Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng hurriedly said to the "pirates" guarding him, "Heroes, we are ready, please call your boss out to trade!" ”

One of the "pirates" immediately shook his head and said, "No, our gang leader has already slept, he hates others disturbing his dreams the most in his life, if he wakes him up, he will be very angry and die!" ”

Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to get this answer at all, and hurriedly said flatteringly, "This...... How long do you guys usually sleep? ”

The "pirate" seemed to be very impatient with Ma Zheng's question, and shouted angrily, "How do I know how long our gang master will sleep?" I'm not a worm in his stomach, what nonsense, just wait! He said that he also pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and made a threatening gesture to Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng hurriedly closed his mouth, this is a group of pirates who kill people without blinking, he shook his head at Zhang Wang on the merchant ship, and stared at Zhang Wang's eyes intently,

Zhang Zheng has been following Ma Zheng for a long time, the two have a very tacit understanding, Zhang Wang also understood Ma Zheng's meaning from this look, Ma Zheng is asking him to order everyone to prepare for battle, if the worst happens in the end, everyone can only fight to the death!

But for now, we can only continue to wait......!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Everyone waited and waited, and this waited for more than four hours, and the sun was about to set in the West Sea, and the sky gradually darkened.

The two sides still stayed on their own ships and confronted each other, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty Mission on the merchant ship did not dare to rashly start a decisive battle with these pirates without Ma Zheng's order, and these pirates did not board the merchant ship to rob the property, they still stood in their positions with bows and arrows in their hands and stared at everyone on the merchant ship, a total of five or six hours of waiting, on the surface of this sea breeze, it was a difficult test for both sides!

Ma Zheng and the others are going crazy, but the damn cabin door still hasn't opened! However, he also found a phenomenon that he couldn't understand, that is, the military discipline of these "pirates" was really good, each of them never moved from beginning to end, and they didn't even show a little impatience, they were like a group of sculptures, sticking to their posts,

Ma Zheng had never seen this kind of pirate, even the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty definitely did not behave like this, on the other hand, on his side, many of the people in the mission were shaking involuntarily, not because of fear, but because of cold and hunger! But in any case, the performance of the two sides has been significantly different under this silent test!

This situation made Ma Zheng's heart a little heavier, if the other party was just a group of ordinary pirates, as a last resort, the seventy good soldiers in the army he brought might still have the hope of a battle, but as it was now, he had no possibility of victory!

Ma Zheng couldn't help but feel a little desperate, the ship is not as good as the other party, there are fewer people than the other party, all the disadvantages are on his side, my God, do you really want to exterminate us today? Are we really going to die at sea today......?

Bang......! A voice suddenly sounded and woke up Ma Zheng, he turned his head to see that his heart couldn't help but beat wildly! I saw that the damn door finally opened, and a big man appeared at the door, it was that "Ruan Dawu", he finally came out!

Ma Zheng's heart began to beat wildly involuntarily, and his eyes were fixed on Ruan Xiaowu's face, not daring to let go of the slightest change in his expression.

Ruan Xiaowu deliberately yawned, and muttered, "Damn, I slept so damn well this night, and I was so late." ”
