A trace of sand

Before Yan Qingyang returned to the wine shop, he began to regret what he had said to Xuan Bing so seriously.He was even worried that Xuan Bing would be angry, and he was not allowed to see Lie Lie.

He will no longer dream of having anything to do with Qiao Xuanbing, but he still hopes to see Lie Lie. Only when he sees Lie Lie can he feel that he is still alive.

Anxiety and suffering actually made him fall ill in bed again.

In the evening, Qiao's mansion sent someone to deliver a few packs of medicine, saying that Dr. Xie had prescribed the medicine for him to take care of his health.

Yan Qingyang originally wanted to throw the medicine away, but he thought that if the poison entered his body, if he didn't take good care of his illness, he might never see Lie Lie again, so he kept the medicine.

It was extremely difficult for him to get out of bed, so naturally he couldn't make medicine by himself, but fortunately, the helpers of the winery would come to help him from time to time.Maybe it was the loss of the child, and I was very guilty and uneasy. Brother Li and the whole family next door did not show up again.

***

On this day, a guest suddenly came to the wine shop.

Yan Qingyang saw Yuan Chenqing who he met in Jingxi Mountain, smiled a little, and barely helped him up: "Young Master Yuan, why are you here?"

"Don't mention it, life is hard. How else would I come to you?"

"Young Master Yuan and King Yong'an...what's wrong?"

"He still has a daughter." Yuan Chenqing was still very unhappy.

"Don't you...have a little princess?" After the little princess was born, he also hugged him. It was just a four-year separation, and he thought that he would not regret the reunion in this life. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chenqing came to see him from thousands of miles away. Can't help but be very moved.

"He wants one more!" Yuan Chenqing's expression turned ugly, "Let's talk about you, why are you so sick?"

Yan Qingyang also knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he told the story of the farewell.

Yuan Chenqing was very unhappy: "Rescue your son and fly away, so what can Qiao Xuanbing do, no matter how powerful he is?"

"But Lie Lie is also his flesh and blood...I..."

"When you were pregnant with Lie Lie, and when you gave birth to Lie Lie, where was Qiao Xuanbing? His only use was that bit of essence at that time. Don't you have any? You just squeeze some out and give it back to him." Yuan Chen Qing was very disapproving.

"But, but..." Hearing Yuan Chenqing's words, Qingyang couldn't refute for a while, and said, "I have a very bad personality. Lie Lie has been with me for the past few years, and I have become more arrogant and self-willed."

"It doesn't matter, you marry Lie Lie to my family as a child relative, and we will teach him together."

Qingyang hesitated for a while, and said: "Lie Lie has a very deep relationship with the old lady now, if you take Lie Lie away rashly, the old lady must be sad, and Lie Lie must also be reluctant to part with grandma..." What he didn't say was that the mother and son The poison of the fruit still remained in his body. Doctor Xue said that if he couldn't take good care of him, he might not live long.If he left with Lie Lie and left suddenly, wouldn't Lie Lie become an orphan.No matter how close Yuan Chenqing was to him, Yong'an Palace was not a place where orphans without father and mother could live for a long time.

Yuan Chenqing was rather displeased: "In the end, you love Lie Lie so much only because you are his child. If you had a child with someone else, how could you be so hesitant?"

Qingyang was blushed by what he said, and he bit the bullet and defended: "I... how could I have children with other people?"

Yuan Chenqing rolled his eyes at him: "Don't you just admit that you still love him?"

Yan Qingyang's expression was miserable. Although he refused to admit it, what Yuan Chenqing said was indeed true.

Yuan Chenqing persuaded again: "No matter how many masters there are in the Demon Cult, can't the martial arts be able to invite a few masters to rob the child? Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

Qingyang shook his head slightly, and said: "There are a lot of people, so it's better not to let too many people know. I know where Lie Lie is, and I've re-practiced some martial arts over the years to protect myself. It's not difficult to bring him out."

Yuan Chenqing saw that he lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, very upright and quiet, so he knew that he had plans, so he said: "If you have any difficulties, I will definitely do my best."

Yan Qingyang remained silent for a long time before answering.He took Lie Lie east to hide in Tibet, and he was always unwilling to ask others for help, because he didn't want Lie Lie to be sent to others, and when he grew up, he wasted his ambition.But judging by Qiao Xuanbing's personality, I'm afraid he will be raised by another Qiao Xuanbing in the future. It's better to bring Lie Lie by his side. As long as he is cruel and doesn't indulge him arrogantly, he will eventually grow up.

"Brother Yuan has helped me a lot, even if I am broken into pieces, it is hard to repay. It's just that Tianyi Sect is very powerful, and Qiao Xuanbing saw through Xingzang again. If I can bring Lie Lie out, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide for long..."

Yuan Chenqing had heard what he meant, thought for a while, and said: "The surname Qiao will suspect me. If you let me arrange it, I'm afraid he will see through it. There is a good place, not far from here. It’s only a journey of more than ten days, so I don’t think he can guess that you are still outside the pass.”

"Where?"

"Have you ever heard of Fang's Racecourse? I happen to know Fang Tangxi, the young master of the villa. I will say hello to him and ask him to arrange for you to live there."

"I... I am so grateful, I don't know how to repay..."

"Can you give me a copy of the wine making recipe? I think your wine smells good, and it is really the best product. After making wine and selling it, I will share it with you, how about it?"

Looking at Yuan Chenqing's slightly narrowed smiling eyes, Yan Qingyang couldn't help but laugh.His wine making recipe is indeed unique, otherwise it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Luoyang City in three or four years.Yuan Chenqing lived in the royal palace, and after only drinking a few glasses of wine, he found that the taste of the wine was different.

"Wine prescription is a trivial matter, and I can write it down to brother Yuan immediately. As for the profit, Yan can't accept it."

No matter what Yuan Chenqing said, Yan Qingyang just declined, Yuan Chenqing had no choice but to give up, and discussed with Yan Qingyang the details of kidnapping Lie Lie.Yuan Chenqing doesn't understand martial arts, and it will only be a drag, so he has no choice but to go ahead and let his accompanying guards take care of him.

*××

It hasn't been long since he returned to this place, and the wine shop is smaller than the one in Luoyang City, so there is no need to clean it up.

Although he has practiced martial arts again in the past few years, it is far from what it used to be, even inferior to ordinary disciples.If he wanted to take Lie Lie away, he could only sneak up the mountain and bring him out at night.

After drinking the medicine for several days in a row, his health improved a lot, but Qiao Xuanbing still had the medicine delivered every few days.

He didn't believe that Qiao Xuanbing would have good intentions, Qiao Xuanbing would be willing to keep him, probably because Lie Lie was still young and couldn't leave him for too long.

The wine shop has not been opened for a long time, and the number of customers is getting less and less, so he doesn't care.When the day agreed with Yuan Chenqing came, he took advantage of the darkness, changed into black clothes, covered his face with a piece of cloth, and sneaked into Qiao's residence.

Lie Lie and Qiao's mother live next to each other, but because Qiao's mother is weak and sick, and she loves her grandson very much, she is afraid that he will get sick, so they don't live together.Although the guards of the Qiao Mansion are strict, it is not impenetrable.The best way is to pretend to assassinate Mrs. Qiao, sneak into Lie Lie's room when the guards gather at Mrs. Qiao's residence, and take Lie Lie away.But Mrs. Qiao treated him well back then, and he didn't want to disturb the old lady and make her fall ill.

There are two maids guarding the outside room, if Lie Lie wants tea or water at night, the maids will stand up to serve.

Yan Qingyang sneaked into Qiao's mansion, a servant girl saw him, and was startled, he pointed at the servant girl's acupoints, pushed open the door, and put the servant girl behind the door.The other servant girl was lying outside, very handsome, but at the age of twelve or thirteen years old, she was Qiao Xuanbing's playmate maid who was found by Lie Lie, and Lie Lie often called her Sister Ning.

Although Qiao Xuanbing didn't come to see his son often, he was kind to his son, he treated him like he was, and because he was lustful, he let his son have many beautiful girls around him.Yan Qingyang sighed secretly in his heart, worried that Miss Xiao Ning would wake up, so he touched her acupuncture points with the scabbard.

When entering the inner room, Lie Lie really fell asleep.He drew gourds in the same way, and when he clicked his son's acupuncture points, his son woke up faintly as if he had a heart, and saw a man in black sneaking in. When he was about to scream, Qingyang lowered his voice and said: "Shut up! It's Daddy." .”

The child knew it was him as soon as he heard the voice, grabbed his sleeve, and was very wronged: "Why hasn't Daddy come to see Lie Lie for so long, are you angry with Lie Lie?"

"Lie Lie, don't make a sound, Daddy takes Lie Lie out of here."

Lie Lie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head immediately: "Lie Lie, don't leave, there are many delicious and interesting things here, and Daddy will stay here to accompany Lie Lie, okay?"

Qingyang makes money by brewing wine because he doesn't want to owe his son, but no matter how capable he is, how can he compare to the family business accumulated by the Qiao family for several generations.Unexpectedly, within a few days of going up the mountain, the child would develop an arrogant and extravagant personality, and he would not be able to bear hardships. I don't know how the Qiao family taught him.

"Daddy won't stay. Do you want to stay here, or go with Daddy?"

"Lie Lie doesn't want to leave..." Water seeped from the baby's eyes, and the eyes were crystal clear, even more beautiful than Qiao Xuanbing's.If it was usual, he would inevitably try to persuade him with kind words when he was in a state of turmoil, but now time is tight and he cannot be delayed.

"What's good here, go with daddy."

"Don't, don't!" Lie Lie yelled as he twisted his body desperately and crawled back and forth on the bed.

He planned for a long time and thought about many accidents, but he never thought that the child would not leave with him.Thinking about it, he made a big mistake. Although Lie Lie is the flesh and blood that fell from his body, the blood of that person is flowing in his body.

Yan Qingyang only felt the pain in his heart was unbearable, so he gritted his teeth and touched the child's fainting point.

"There are assassins!"

"The assassin wants to assassinate the young master!"

The sharp cry of the child just now attracted the guards.Yan Qingyang was startled, held the child in one hand, pulled out the long sword, but threw the scabbard on the ground, and went out with the long sword in hand.

As soon as he went out, seven or eight guards surrounded him.

He frowned slightly, swiped his sword and slashed, defusing everyone's offensive.Everyone saw that he was dressed in black, with a tall and straight posture, with the tip of his sword pointing obliquely at the ground, he was really indescribably chic.

A guard let out a whistling, which meant to ask for help.

Yan Qingyang knew that it was not easy to get away this time, so he used several swords in succession, but went out without hesitation.

Everyone was worried about hurting the child on his shoulder, so they were careful not to make moves, but let him gain the upper hand, and it was difficult to attack for a while, so they could only surround him in groups.

"You are so courageous, you dare to go to heaven to teach and rob people!"

With a sneer, a white-clothed man came striding outside the door. His phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he was incredibly gorgeous. It was Qiao Xuanbing, the leader of Tianyi Sect.

Everyone saluted respectfully: "Master!"

When Yan Qingyang saw that it was him, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, suppressed the regret in his heart, and gripped the hilt of the sword even tighter.

When he saw Lie Lie, he shouldn't have talked to Lie Lie, and directly touched his acupoints.Who would have thought that Lie Lie would be coaxed away by them, and would rather make a scene in front of him than leave?

"Did Yan Qingyang ask you to come?" Qiao Xuan's face was as cold as water, and his voice was full of anger.

Yan Qingyang remained silent.He and Qiao Xuanbing were very familiar with each other's aura, so even though he changed his appearance, he still couldn't hide it from Qiao Xuanbing.It was dark night, and the contours of people could not be discerned, so Qiao Xuanbing naturally couldn't recognize him.

"Okay, okay!" Qiao Xuanbing sneered, and then shouted, "Bring the sword!"

A guard presented Qiao Xuanbing's sword.

Yan Qingyang did not have the slightest intention of revealing his identity.In Qiao Xuanbing's heart, he was worse than a passer-by. If he died at his hands, Qiao Xuanbing might say he deserved it.

He was in a trance for a while, when Qiao Xuanbing stabbed at him with a sword, he took a step back and hurriedly turned his sword to block it, only then did he regain his senses.

Qiao Xuanbing was extremely angry, and he was merciless in his strikes, every move was a killer move.He ordered people to send medicine down the mountain. He heard that Yuan Chenqing, an old friend of "Boss Xue", came to look for him and stayed at his house at night.

He didn't expect that Yan Qingyang, who hadn't seen him for many years, hooked up with so many people, and there were still people willing to go up the mountain to snatch a child for him.After all, Yan Qingyang is... his man, how could he flirt with others?

The guards couldn't help but secretly wondered that the assassin was so desperate at the beginning, which made them scramble, but now when he met the leader, his aura suddenly weakened, and he even lost his mind.It must be because the leader's martial arts are superb, the assassin is vulnerable, and the gods took it for him.

Qiao Xuanbing swung away the long sword in his hand, and the sword body infused with internal strength caused a huge shock to Yan Qingyang's wrist, and he couldn't help but let go, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground immediately.

Qiao Xuanbing leaned forward, and the long sword stabbed him in the chest.

He didn't evade, but instead came forward and slammed straight into Qiao Xuanbing's sword.

Qiao Xuanbing was taken aback, and immediately froze his sword and didn't shoot.But his swordsmanship is so superb, even though the blade didn't touch the opponent's clothes, the sword energy has broken through the sword and shot into the opponent's body.

Yan Qingyang only felt a huge pain in his chest, just like when he left him back then.

I always thought that I had forgotten him a long time ago, but I never thought that this deep pain would never disappear.

He raised his head to look at Qiao Xuanbing, staring at this incomparably handsome face.

The old love was like a big dream, and he didn't want to wake up.And now, it's time to wake up.It's a pity that for him, he can only realize it before he dies.

Someone had already snatched Lie Lie from his arms, he didn't struggle, and let Lie Lie leave his arms.

Seeing the infinite sadness in his eyes, Qiao Xuanbing couldn't help tearing off his face scarf.

"why you?!"

Qiao Xuanbing's voice mixed with shock and anger rang in his ears, but he could no longer see Qiao Xuanbing's expression clearly, he vaguely saw his purple clothes on the ground, his face like white jade, always so unattainable.

It was no longer like the trembling and admiration that seemed to surge from the bottom of my heart when the kind and gentle young man hugged him tightly.

He always thought that it was his fault that he hadn't changed, that he was getting uglier and uglier, which stained his eyes.

But now it seems that he is not the only one who has changed, Qiao Xuanbing has become another person completely.

He forced a smile, and said softly, "So... so... the person I love is no longer you."

He said every word very slowly, but it seemed like he was relieved. After saying this, he closed his eyes.

His sanity seemed to gradually become silent, and he sank to a very deep place, where a young man who vaguely resembled Qiao Xuanbing was waiting for him.The boy's embrace was infinitely warm, like his parents who were far away under the Nine Springs, loving and caring for him.

He seemed to see his parents, whom he had never met. His loving parents were standing side by side, his mother was wearing a loose belt, and his father was handsome, smiling and waiting to meet him.

No one in this world needs him anymore, even Lie Lie has his grandmother and his real father.

I am not a woman after all, I am afraid that he will be sensible in the future and will despise himself.

After all, I have to go back to where I should go.
