Chapter 114: Encountered an ambush
Before the eagle could continue to attack, more than a dozen people from the Xianle Pavilion came out from both sides. After the leader made a gesture, the eagle stopped quietly.
Then they took the cage away.
Of course, the injured white tiger was taken away with it.
"Everyone, its ability is obvious to everyone. The base price is 500 taels of silver. Each bid must not be less than 50 taels. The highest bidder wins!" Qi Niang showed the caged eagle in front of everyone and made the final decision.
"Start!"
"600 taels!"
"700 taels! " "850 taels!
"
"900 taels!"
...
In just a moment, the price went straight to 1,000 taels, which shows how enthusiastic this group of people are about this eagle.
"I want it too!" Ying Jinyi was so jealous that she wanted to join the shouting.
The bid had already reached three thousand taels.
Lin Baoer was swinging her legs and watching the show leisurely. She couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Jinyi, do you have so much money on you?"
Ying Jinyi looked at her pitifully and sighed, "No."
"The miscellaneous money my father gave me is not even enough to cover the difference."
She frowned, stared at the eagle eagerly, and then withdrew her gaze sadly, "And if my father finds out..."
She didn't dare to imagine how she would be beaten.
"But..." She paused for a moment, and suddenly looked at Lin Ruqian, her eyes shining, "Brother Ruqian, you should be quite rich, right?"
Now everyone in Yanjing City knows that the third son of the Lin family is a master in business. He turned the restaurant that was on the verge of closing into the number one restaurant in Yanjing City, which made people envious and jealous.
"Why don't you lend me some?" Ying Jinyi rushed over and grabbed Lin Ruqian's arm tightly, with hope in his eyes, "I swear! I will definitely pay it back!"
This eagle is rare in a century. If she gives up like this without fighting for it, she will probably regret it later.
Lin Ruqian glanced at her, firmly pulled his arm out of her hand, and shook his head, "No."
"Why?!" Ying Jinyi's eyes widened.
Even Lin Baoer was very curious. In fact, her third brother was very generous to those close to him. If lending money to Ying Jinyi could make her give up this idea, then it would be perfect. It would not only fulfill her desire to fight for it, but also prevent her from really spending a lot of money to buy this eagle. But why... did she refuse?
Lin Ruqian gently placed the jade cup on the table and looked at her seriously, "You can't participate in this auction."
"Why?" Ying Jinyi subconsciously asked.
Lin Ruqian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but a sudden commotion from the auction house attracted their attention.
"One thousand taels of gold! Is there anyone who wants to bid more?" Qi Niang looked a little excited.
"One thousand taels of gold? Are you crazy? This is too high!"
"Whose young master is this? Could it be the one from the East Palace? So rich."
"It's hard to say, but there are many wealthy businessmen in Yanjing City. It's possible that he is from someone else's family! He can easily take out one thousand taels of gold, so his identity must not be underestimated..."
...
"One thousand taels of gold?" Ying Jinyi shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips, "Forget it, I can't even come up with that much money even if you sell me."
[How awesome! How much is one thousand taels of gold? ! Are these rich people crazy? They spent so much money just to buy an eagle?
Lin Baoer was amazed and almost laughed at her own poverty.
At this time, Qi Niang had already knocked down the hammer at the auction.
"One thousand taels of gold three times! Deal!"
Xianle Pavilion only has one auction a night. After this auction, there is naturally no other fun.
After leaving the secret room, the three did not stay in Xianle Pavilion and left directly.
"By the way, brother Ruqian, what do you mean when you said I can't participate?"
Halfway through, Ying Jinyi suddenly remembered what Lin Ruqian said halfway and kept asking.
"Yes, third brother, what does that mean?"
Lin Baoer also imitated him and pulled his sleeve, asking in a baby voice.
Being caught in the middle by the big and the small, Lin Ruqian was extremely helpless. He was about to speak when suddenly, there was a sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air. Before he could react, Ying Jinyi pressed down his head with a changed expression, forcing him to squat down.
"Be careful!"
Ying Jinyi shouted anxiously, and then pulled Lin Baoer back two steps.
At the position where they were just now, three arrows suddenly stuck into the ground. If she had been a step slower, I'm afraid...
"Who?!" Ying Jinyi's eyes became sharp, and she scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Only then did she realize that they had walked to an alley. Because it was getting dark, there were no people around, only a few high walls, which was the most suitable place for an ambush.
There was no sound to answer her, only the continuous arrows.
Without a proper weapon to defend himself, Ying Jinyi had to pull Lin Baoer to hide everywhere.
Lin Ruqian, who had reacted, also ran to a corner, pushed down the bamboo rafts in the corner, and pulled one to throw to Ying Jinyi, "Jinyi, catch it!"
Ying Jinyi caught it and stabbed it in one direction.
A scream came suddenly.
It seems to be there!
Ying Jinyi's face sank, and she climbed over the wall to chase after them.
After she went up, the figures of those people gradually revealed themselves.
There were about five or six people, all wearing night clothes and lurking on the high wall. When they were discovered, they simply jumped down from the high wall and went straight to Lin Ruqian and Lin Baoer.
Sometimes Lin Baoer also admires her own physique. Wherever she goes, there are assassinations! She never misses a single one!
"Baoer! Get out of the way!"
Seeing that the sword was about to pierce Lin Baoer, Lin Ruqian's pupils constricted, and he didn't care that there were two people in front of him. He rushed over without caring about knocking one person down.
[Okay, okay, this is how you play it? Then let you see how powerful I am! ]
Lin Baoer glared, without dodging or avoiding, and directly shot out the anesthetic needle in her hand.
Bang -
the man fell down without any warning, and the black-clothed men next to him were a little at a loss.
What the hell?
Here, Ying Jinyi also dealt with the man and ran back, blocking the two people behind him for Lin Ruqian.
Not long after the fight, the group of black-clothed men saw that they couldn't get any advantage from them, and they all ran away after looking at each other.
Lin Baoer:? ? ?
She hasn't even used her full strength yet! Why are you running!
"Brother Ruqian, Fourth Sister, are you okay?" Ying Jinyi ran over panting.
"Nothing is wrong." Lin Ruqian shook his head and glanced at Lin Baoer obscurely.
This time he saw clearly that the thing in Baoer's hand seemed like a needle?
