Chapter 49: Dawn

The old man picked up the body of the phoenix and ran out of the Shiyang Town market, he called the sika deer, placed the body on the back of the sika deer, and still held the body of the phoenix with both hands. Under the light of the torch, he saw Ding Mao and the others looking at the inhuman-shaped phoenix body in horror, so he urged: "Why don't you go quickly?!"

The old man, Ding Mao and others fled back to the Zhang Mansion of the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang in embarrassment, everyone called to open the door, shouted and crashed into the hall, the hall was brightly lit, they saw Zhang Yifeng and Chen Juliang The two business gang leaders were hugging left and right in the hall, drinking and laughing, and they couldn't help but be angry in their chests.

The two gang leaders, Zhang and Chen, think that the victory is in their hands, and as long as they catch Hua Zhongxian, they may find a big treasure. Unexpectedly, this operation not only damaged the "lady", but also broke the soldiers.

Zhang Yifeng was both puzzled and angry, he followed the old man into the back room, entered the phoenix's room, looked at the bloody body on the bed, he knew that the phoenix had been dead for a long time.

Zhang Yifeng was resentful, his anger couldn't stop, he understood that the cash cow he had carefully cultivated was gone, he didn't say a word with a black face, went out of the back room, found Ding Mao, and inquired in detail about the murder of Phoenix.

Ding Mao said that, without saying a few words, he turned the topic around to the night battle in the middle hall of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division.

Zhang Yifeng was irritable and did not listen to Ding Mao's words in detail.

Chen Juliang sat in the hall, still drinking and eating, he looked at the few guards who fled scattered, and never saw his son Chen Hao come back, there was an ominous feeling in his chest, he grabbed a guard from the Shuangyang City Merchant Gang, and asked about the fact of his son's tragic death, as well as the failure of the whole operation. He was heartbroken, beating his chest, losing a son, losing a Qi refining cultivator who had been cultivated for more than forty years, and losing the strongest guard of the entire Shang Gang, he was extremely sad.

Chen Juliang found Zhang Yifeng, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Yifeng in a hurry, he took his men to take more than a dozen empty carriages, left Yuanyang City, and headed towards Shuangyang City.

He sat in the carriage, silently holding back tears, old tears. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and secretly vowed to kill Daoist Sunset at all costs, capture Hua Zhongxian alive, avenge his son, and avenge his mother's murder for his two grandsons by the way.

Phoenix gave birth to three children for the Chen family: the eldest daughter Chen Wu'er, and the two sons Chen Diqu and Chen Diliang.

Businessmen are accustomed to failure, but they don't throw in easily.

Yuanyang City merchants help Zhang's Mansion, and a delicate room on the far right of the back room is the boudoir of the phoenix. The phoenix, who had been dead for a long time, lay flat on the bed, and the old man sat on the edge of the bed, stupid and full of tears.

Chen Wu'er, the daughter of the phoenix, did not dare to approach the bed of the phoenix, she had already changed into a plain white dress, draped in a light blue tulle coat, holding a ten-hole flute, and her eyes were dull. The old man called her over to kowtow to the phoenix's body, but she cowered, still standing by the door, refusing to come closer.

Chen Wu'er's young heart was greatly hurt, and her mother brought her a lot of unintentional harm.

The old man sighed and said in his heart: As long as there is a mother in his heart, there is no need to scare the child at this time.

The old man looked at the black body that was not human-shaped, thinking about the glory of the phoenix in the past, both sad and regretful, he exhaled a long breath, as if he had made up his mind, pinched his palms, put his hands together and opened them, with the help of the candle flame on the table, he made a burst fireball, the fireball fell on the phoenix's incense couch, and there was an explosion, the explosion ignited the embroidery bed, and the fire burned the phoenix's body.

Zhang Yifeng heard the sound of the fireball exploding, and saw that there was a fire in Phoenix's room, and he was extremely angry. "Marty, you unproductive rice bucket dare to set fire. Drafting Nana's, a wasted bag that has achieved nothing. ......”

The old man stood beside Chen Wuer, who sat by the flower pond in the courtyard with his knees crossed.

The old man hated Phoenix's godfather to the core, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhang Yifeng, he opened his mouth, and didn't say a word after all.

"The bastard who can't support the wall with mud is a turtle who does nothing. ......" Zhang Yifeng's anger was almost vented, and gradually calmed down, he threw his sleeves out, and his mouth was still insulting.

The old man bowed his head and said to Chen Wu'er, "Wu'er, are you willing to go with me?"

Chen Wu'er looked at the old man in surprise. She sympathizes with Uncle Nian, who has always been by her mother's side, and she has great respect for Uncle Nian. Today, my mother has passed away, and she is even closer to old age.

The old man said, "If you don't want to go, I'll stay and protect you." ”

Chen Wu'er hesitated. Xindao: Grandpa has been abusing Uncle Nian, and Uncle Nian must be very sad in his heart. He wants to go, but will stay for me.

The old man sighed and said, "I'll go and clean up your mother's bones." When he finished speaking, he entered the blackened back room. It took a long time to come out with a jar.

Chen Wu'er blinked her big moist eyes, looked at the vicissitudes of old age, and said calmly: "Uncle Nian, I'll go with you." ”

The old man's gray eyes suddenly became shining, and his heart relaxed, and he excitedly took Chen Wu'er's hand, about to pull her away.

Chen Wu'er reflexively broke away from the old man's hand and said softly, "I'll pack up my things." She turned and silently returned to the boudoir.

The old man was waiting for Chen Wu'er outside the boudoir door to sort out his belongings, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would take good care of Chen Wu'er, the daughter of the phoenix.

After a long time, Chen Wu'er came out with a guqin three feet six inches and five minutes long, carrying a large package in her hand, looking at the old man stupidly. The old man hurriedly took the package, put it on his arm, and said, "Let's go." ”

Chen Wu'er pulled the hem of the old man's clothes, followed him through the corner gate, the middle hall, and walked towards the big black door. The big black door was closed, and the gatekeeper was sitting in the corner, dozing off.

The old man put Chen Wu'er's package on the ground, raised the door latch with both hands, and gently threw it on the ground after the qi, and the door latch still made a slight noise.

The noise woke the janitor. The weary janitor lit the candle and saw that the two men had already opened the door, so he exclaimed, "What man? ”

The janitor walked over with a candlestick in one hand and an iron rod in the other, and the janitor saw that the old man was taking the little lady and went out before dawn, and immediately judged that the two had not been allowed by the gang leader, and he scolded loudly: "Nian Chief, what are you doing here? Do you want to escape? Do you want to betray the gang leader?"

Even the janitors look down on the elderly. The tragedy of old age comes from the phoenix, and when the phoenix dies, he is given a new life.

The old man looked at the janitor coldly, the janitor felt a chill in his back, and took three steps back, but he still didn't mean to let the old man leave with Chen Wu'er. He turned his head to the hall and said hoarsely, "Come on, come on, come on......."
