Chapter 740 Buying Ying Wanli

Everyone came to the third floor, even Gao Yanan was brought here by Jin Banhua and others.

No one from Bat Island stopped them and asked them questions along the way, as if they had all forgotten that Gao Yanan had escaped, and they didn't know that Jin Banhua and others had rescued Gao Yanan.

The voice of the Bat Prince sounded again, "I have come thousands of miles to invite you all here. Although I may not be able to make you all return with full loads, at least I want you to feel that the trip is worthwhile."

Someone in the darkness smiled apologetically, "Anyway, I have indeed broadened my horizons."

Mr. Bat said calmly, "I think everyone is quite satisfied with the items from the first auction just now."

"I am very satisfied. You are worthy of your reputation. You never disappoint me."

The one who answered was Mr. Zhu. As soon as he got the Tang Sect poison, he asked someone to take him out of the bat cave. He checked all the poisons before returning.

Although his main goal has been achieved, who would complain about having too many good things in their hands? He has already considered whether to grab some items that others like.

"Okay, I hope my next items will still satisfy you." Bat Prince smiled.

In the darkness, everyone sat quietly.

The breathing sounds in the cave became quieter, and everyone was looking forward to what would be sold at the second auction.

After a moment, Bat Prince sighed.

"I originally prepared five items for you at my second auction, but the island was robbed just now and the items I had prepared were stolen, so I can't take them out."

"Ah!?" Everyone was surprised.

"My lord, your island is isolated overseas. Who could have sneaked onto the island?"

"This guy is really bold. Even if he succeeds now, he will have nowhere to escape!"

"Excuse me, sir..." Someone became suspicious and thought of Jin Banhua, "But I don't know who this person is, and how could he have such a skill?"

"Mr. Lin must have guessed it." Mr. Bat said frankly, "There is only one person in the world who is famous for stealing and has such a skill."

"Is it Chu Liuxiang?" the man asked in shock.

"It's Chu Liuxiang." Bat Master said lightly.

There was a commotion in the darkness, but when they heard that Bat Master was still calm, they all quieted down.

"But fortunately, although he stole my things, I also left some things behind." Bat Prince chuckled.

"What did the young master leave behind for him?" someone asked.

"Is it a hand or a foot?" asked the second man.

"It's a few people." Bat Prince said, "The few people who came to the island with him were all kept by me, so the items for the second auction will be these people."

In the darkness, everyone was at a loss as to who these people were or what they had to sell.

"The first person is Bai Lie, the top fighter under General Xiong of Guanwai." Young Master Bat said, "Although his martial arts skills are good, this is not his most valuable point."

"Then where is his most valuable thing?" someone asked in a hoarse voice, and the Liaodong accent in the tone could not be hidden.

"Of course he knows the strengths and weaknesses of General Xiong's army deployment outside the Great Wall, his interpersonal relationships, and his food and grass routes."

Young Master Bat said meaningfully, "As General Xiong's trusted expert, maybe he even knows the guard hours and the visible and hidden sentries in General Xiong's mansion." "Hiss——"

As everyone gasped, Mr. Bat began the auction, "Starting price: 100,000 taels."

"One hundred and one hundred thousand taels!"

"One hundred and five thousand taels!"

"They really have fallen into the hands of Mr. Bat!" Yi Dian Hong gritted her teeth and said angrily, "And he actually put them up for auction!"

Li Yuhan asked softly, "But he also admitted that Chu Liuxiang was not in his hands. Why didn't he hide this?"

"Because he can't hide this matter." Liu Wumei said lightly, "We are in the open, and what he fears most is Chu Liuxiang."

Qu Wurong continued, "I heard a lot of breathing sounds. The people from Bat Island have been gathering in secret."

At this moment, the voice of Mr. Bat sounded, "Mr. Jin, you won't bid?"

"Why should I bid?" Jin Banhua's tone contained confusion, "I am not interested in General Xiong's military deployment or the sentries in the general's mansion."

Young Master Bat was silent for a moment, then he said, "Yes, Young Master Jin is from the capital, and he has no friendship with General Xiong outside the pass."

Soon, Bai Lie was bought for 150,000 taels of silver. The buyer was the man with the hoarse Liaodong accent.

"Okay!" Bat Prince clapped his hands, and two people carried a tied-up person into the cave in the darkness and placed the person next to the buyer.

"You can inspect the goods. As long as you pay the money, you can take this person away at any time." Bat Prince said with a smile.

Without waiting for anyone to react, he continued, "The second person is called Ying Wanli, also known as the Divine Eagle, and also known as the White-robed Divine Ear. He is a famous detective in the Nine Cities, and his starting price is also 100,000 taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, bidding began to rise one after another, and soon exceeded 150,000 taels and headed towards 200,000 taels.

Mr. Bat took the time to ask again, "Mr. Jin, are you still not going to bid?"

Jin Banhua and Ying Wanli are both from the capital. When Chu Liuxiang left a note to steal the white jade beauty, Jin Banhua also invited Ying Wanli to come to the Jin Mansion for help. Many people knew about this, so it was not a secret.

It can be seen that Jin Banhua and Ying Wanli have a friendship.

"If I offer a price, will you sell it to me?" Jin Banhua asked.

"Of course." Mr. Bat laughed, "This is a place for business. I ship the goods, you pay for them, and we'll have nothing to do with each other after we leave. Why wouldn't I want to sell it to you?"

At this point, the development of events has become different from the original, and even Jin Banhua doesn't know what Yuan Suiyun means.

In the original novel, after Yuan Suiyun bought Gou Zichang and Ying Wanli, he wanted to tear Hu Tiehua apart and sell him for a total price of 500,000 taels of silver, and he had to kill someone first, which forced Chu Liuxiang out.

But at this time, Chief Gou Zi had already died, and Hua Zhenzhen was not lured out by him to kill Chu Liuxiang. With the addition of himself and others here, the situation is obviously better than in the original book, except that there is no fire starter in the original book. What should he do?
Jin Banhua's eyes flickered, and she finally made a bid, "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

Although it was unknown what Ying Wanli's current situation was, the people bidding in the dark obviously had a grudge against Ying Wanli. If he were to be bought by them, Ying Wanli might die accidentally.

Jin Banhua raised the price by 50,000 taels at a time, shocking everyone again.

Although they still had a grudge against Ying Wanli, they didn't think of spending so much money on revenge, so they let Jin Banhua buy him.
