We are now on the outside of the fifth floor and are unable to see down.
The third, fourth and fifth floors of this ship are all together, and standing on the inside you can see right down to the bottom.
The thoughtless mountain is also placed right at the innermost part of the fifth floor, on display for all to see.
I was tempted to just carry the Thoughtless Mountain away, but even Old Mo warned me that the people sitting down there were not idle, and I was not sure what the six great sects were, but I knew very well that I could not beat Baldy.
Along the way I swung past four or five waves of duty patrols, these patrols were arranged quite closely, the importance attached to the thoughtless mountain even exceeded any national treasure paintings. So many patrolmen could be said to be a barrel of iron, but to me, it was similar to no one.
When we reached the entrance to the infield, we had to stop.
“There are two watchmen at the gate, and they don’t move an inch.” I said.
Old Mo said, “A fierce tiger cannot be pa*sed, let’s go around.”
“Then we’ll both have to dig a hole through the wall to get in, what’s the point of going around, you can’t go around.”
We hid a short distance away and while a group of patrols were just leaving, I put two fingers in my mouth and let out a sharp blast.
The sound sound sounded very much like something being blown up, the two men were startled and looked at each other, “It looks like it’s there, go over and see, don’t let anything break.”
In the ten seconds or so that the two men had left, Old Mo and I dodged into the inner cabin, and we both had just closed the door when the footsteps of the security guards came back outside.
“Nothing, what was that noise just now, my ears are ringing?”
“Hell, I’m with you then.”
“The wind and waves are really strong today, it’s a real pain, you don’t used to go out to sea in waves this big.”
“Who knows, but since we’re out at sea, we must be fine, and the boss is still on board, they don’t play with their lives when they’re rich.”
The waves today were really big, the waves outside were almost three or four storeys high, Mr. He really wanted his money and not his life, this kind of day is not allowed to go to sea.
Now even standing in the cabin, I could feel the bumps brought by the big waves outside, fortunately the big ship had full sailing power, otherwise it would definitely destroy the ship and people.
“You, kid, still have two brilliance, this colorful door ventriloquism also know?”
“I learnt it in the army.” I said, “Keep your voice down, there might be people in there too.”
But to my surprise, there were a dozen men guarding Wushan’s side alone, all with loaded guns, and now that the ship was on the high seas, it was legal to carry guns.
No wonder those martial arts masters didn’t dare to openly rob the painting; even the highest martial arts skills are afraid of bullets.
The thoughtless mountain is in the middle of the fifth floor, near the atrium railing, so that people standing on the third and fourth floors can also see the painting.
Several screens separated us from the thoughtless mountain, and Old Mo and I hid behind one of them.
Probably all the manpower was concentrated next to the thoughtless mountain, and there was not much between the screens.
Mo and I took a detour to the other side of the mountain and hid behind a sandalwood screen before we could see what was happening on the fourth floor.
The gambling game on the fourth floor had obviously come to an end, the chips on the table were piled up like a mountain, and Yue Man Gong and Jiang Ming had pledged their entire fortune.
And there was not a single card on the table, only a colour pot covered by a black bell-shaped hood.
And both Jiang Ming and Yue Man Gong were standing, tit for tat.
“It’s the last hand, and this one will compete for tonight’s King of Gamblers. Both of you, shall we open now?” Boss He asked.
I was a bit surprised that the last game was a bet on size, which was completely unworkable.
I laughed and said, “Old Mo, you may lose your bet tonight. Moon Full Bow won’t necessarily win.”
Old Mo hemmed and hawed, “That’s not necessarily true.”
As soon as Boss He finished speaking, Jiang Ming said, “You guess first.”
I didn’t expect that in the end of the game, these two people who had become so good at gambling would have to rely on guessing the size to decide the winner, but this was probably the fairest way between them.
The audience didn’t laugh at all at the childishness of the game, but rather, they watched with bated breath.
I could see from above that the crowd had divided itself into two waves, each with its own camp.
I had only seen the real jianghu from old men and martial arts novels, but I had never seen the real one. But for Boss He to be able to defend himself with loaded guns like this, these people were no ordinary people.
“Jianghu originally had nine surnames, Yin Ji Yue Guan Qian Liu Jiang Zhao Gan, those present today are Yue Guan Qian Liu Jiang Gan, behind Jiang Ming stands Jiang Yun Qing, Guan Lang, Yue Man Shan and Liu Ruyi. And this up behind Yue Man Gong, is Qian Xiao Qian, and Gan Quan. The nine surnames are now only eight, the Ji family lives in the deep mountains and does not come out, and now the most prestigious in the jianghu is the Yue family.”
I said, “Ji? Is that the Ji of my mother?”
Old Mo nodded, “The old man isn’t fooling you either. Your mother, Ji Yanran, is the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Jiang Ming now claims to be deeply attached to your mother, but in fact twenty years ago, he was not even qualified to carry your mother’s shoes. Your mother was a well-known beauty in the jianghu at that time, who didn’t want to marry her? The Ji family’s threshold was almost broken. You don’t have to listen to Jiang Ming’s nonsense. In today’s terms, your mother was a rich white beauty.”
I never thought my mother had such a past, I only remembered that she was very gentle and beautiful, but I don’t remember what she looked like. The thought of it made me feel bad, if only my aunt would have left me a small picture, but she had torn it all up. But then I thought, “Even my mother was so high and mighty, she let my father take care of her, so my father had to be really good.
The moon full bow did not say anything, quietly looking at Jiang Ming.
They looked at each other for about five minutes, and I couldn’t take it anymore, so I thought about how to get rid of the painting.
The painting was about two metres high and about as long as my arm’s length, in other words 1.88 metres long. With the frame, I couldn’t hold it with two hands, so I might have to carry it out with Mo, but if that happened, we would definitely be the living targets of the night, being shot at by all the guns on the field.
In fact, when I was a soldier, I had rescued more troublesome rescue subjects than this. A dozen amateur security guards looking at a painting was as good as a scarecrow to me.
But the problem was that these scarecrows could shout and scream, and the real thunderbolts were downstairs, so even if I took the painting, how would I bring it home safely from the Pacific?
All that aside, I’m now getting rid of a painting that’s bigger than my entire body?
“Hey, look, it’s going to be a good show.”
Old Mo suddenly poked me with a very excited look on his face, crawling behind the screen and looking down, and I thought to myself, “Blind man, what are you looking at? I thought to myself, “What are you looking at, blind man?” I followed his line of sight and saw nothing unusual at all.
