The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1390: The First Battle of Training

Ning Que saw that he couldn't persuade Wang Gang to leave, so he took Sang Sang and left the convoy without hesitation or even looking back.

When Li Yu heard the maid's report, she didn't care too much. In her opinion, Chang'an was right in front of her, and there were two practitioners, Lu Qingchen and Wang Gang, in the team, so her safety was absolutely guaranteed.

Leaving Ning Que, who is dispensable, is not a big problem at all.

Li Yu ordered his men to stay where they were and rest for a night before setting off again. He even asked his maid to light a fire and boil water so that she could wash up at night and return to Chang'an in a full and energetic state.

Wang Gang guessed Li Yu's thoughts and knew that she wanted to return to Chang'an in a glamorous manner and act like a princess to show those who wanted to kill her.

Lu Qingchen still stayed in the carriage. Apart from communicating with Wang Gang, who was also a practitioner, he was not polite to anyone. Even when Li Yu personally invited him to dinner, he did not give him the slightest face.

Practitioners have always had an exclusive status in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Qingchen is not only a cultivator in the Dongxuan realm, but also a worshiper at the South Gate of Haotian Dao. He does not even need to perform formalities when meeting members of the royal family.

He was also asked to protect Li Yu this time by Li Qingshan, the leader of the Southern Gate of Haotian Dao and the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Qingchen himself was not Li Yu's subordinate and always kept a certain distance from her.

Li Yu really wanted to get the support of the South Gate of Haotian Dao so that he could return to the court in the future and compete with Queen Xia Tian.

But Lu Qingchen refused to budge, so Li Yu could only place his hopes on Wang Gang, and even lowered himself to recruit him personally.

Wang Gang was eating dry food when Li Yu came over with Xiao Man and brought a small pot of wine to Wang Gang.

"Mr. Wang, thank you for the delicious food you prepared along the way. Xiao Man enjoyed the meal very much. This pot of wine is what I brought back from the grassland. Please enjoy it."

Li Yu was very humble and used his "son" as an excuse, so Wang Gang couldn't refuse.

"Thank you, Princess." Wang Gang took the wine jug, then took out a piece of candy from his arms (space) and handed it to Xiaoman.

"Here's some candy for you." Wang Gang said to Xiao Man with a smile.

Xiao Man looked at the candy, then looked at Li Yu, and did not take it immediately.

"Since Mr. Wang gave it to you, you should accept it." Li Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Man happily accepted the candy and thanked Wang Gang: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Gang touched Xiao Man's head and said, "You're welcome."

Li Yu pulled Xiao Man to sit next to Wang Gang and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have a place to stay after arriving in Chang'an? If not, you can stay temporarily in my princess's mansion."

Wang Gang casually said, "I plan to buy a house in Chang'an, and when the college entrance examination begins, I would also like to trouble the princess to remember to get me a letter of recommendation."

Li Yu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. When we return to Chang'an, I will immediately ask my father to give you a chance to take the exam."

Wang Gang nodded, then concentrated on eating and ignored Li Yu.

Li Yu felt Wang Gang's attitude of keeping people at a distance and felt a little embarrassed.

I thought that this group of monks were really arrogant, Lu Qingchen was like this, and so was Wang Gang.

"Mr. Wang, if you need anything in Chang'an, you can come to the princess's mansion to find me." Li Yu left a word, stood up and took Xiao Man back to the carriage.

Wang Gang glanced at Li Yu and shook his head, thinking that this princess wanted to recruit people but was unwilling to lower herself. Her ability was really average. If it weren't for her identity as a princess, she would have died on the road.

The reason why the South Gate of Haotian Dao sent Lu Qingchen to protect Li Yu was only because they were attracted by her identity and wanted her to fight against Queen Xia Tian.

Because Xia Tian is the remnant of the Demon Sect and is assisted by his brother Xiahou, this is something that the South Gate of Haotian Dao absolutely cannot tolerate.

The Haotian Sect believes in Haotian, but the Demon Sect betrays Haotian. The dispute between the two sides is about the orthodoxy of Taoism, and it has nothing to do with power.

Wang Gang vaguely remembered that in the plot, after the death of the King of Tang, he left the throne to Xia Tian's son Li Hupo, but the national teacher Li Qingshan was worried that the throne would fall into the hands of the people of the Demon Sect and that the Demon Sect would revive in the future, so he tampered with the will and pushed Li Yu's brother Li Hunyuan to the throne. But Li Hunyuan was an absolute tyrant, and Li Yu had limited ability, and almost destroyed the Tang Kingdom. If the academy had not stepped in to resist the coalition forces that attacked the Tang Kingdom, I'm afraid that this continent's most powerful country would have disappeared long ago.

Wang Gang had no opinion on Li Yu, but he didn't want to get involved in those power struggles. He came to Chang'an only to practice, and as for other things, he didn't care at all.

After eating the dry food, Wang Gang did not drink any alcohol. Instead, he checked his weapons and adjusted himself to the best condition.

Wang Gang had sensed that danger was approaching, so he went to remind Li Yu and asked her men to be on guard, but Li Yu was too confident and did not take it seriously at all.

When a feather arrow hit Li Yu's carriage, everyone woke up in shock.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as Li Yu's guard opened his mouth to remind everyone, a feather arrow pierced his throat.

A group of about a hundred bandits suddenly came running from a distance, and arrows rained down like rain, killing many people.

Li Yu's guards had finally formed a defense line, but the bandits rushed to Li Yu's carriage and killed anyone they saw.

This group of bandits were well-trained. They were not only skilled in archery, but also fearless. In an instant, Li Yao's guards suffered heavy losses.

Wang Gang stood on Li Yu's carriage with a spear in his hand, knocking down the flying arrows, but the horses in front of the carriage were still shot into sieves.

All the people were trapped in place. The bandits surrounded them and kept attacking with bows and arrows from a distance, consuming Li Yu's guards.

"We can't go on like this. We have to break out."

Wang Gang wielded his spear with great force, leaving many spear shadows, but it could only temporarily save Li Yu from death. After a long time, when Li Yu's guards were all slaughtered, he was still powerless.

Lu Qingchen, who had been sitting in the carriage, finally took action.

A short sword flew out from the air and headed straight for the horse thief, knocking one of them off his horse in an instant.

Lu Qingchen controlled the sword with his telekinesis, and the killing power was indeed extraordinary. He quickly killed many horse thieves.

In front of a Dongxuan Nian Master, ordinary people simply don't have much power to fight back, but Lu Qingchen is only one person, and the number of horse thieves is more than a hundred times his.

Fortunately, with Lu Qingchen joining the battle, Wang Gang finally relaxed and had the energy to observe Lu Qingchen's sword-wielding method, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

Li Yu popped his head out of the carriage and said to Wang Gang, "Mr. Wang, what should we do now?"

Wang Gang said: "The horses have all been shot dead. We can't run away. We can only kill all these horse thieves."

As he spoke, Wang Gang threw out the sword at his waist, and used his telekinesis to control the vital energy of heaven and earth, wrapping it around the sword. He learned Lu Qingchen's way of controlling the sword, and controlled the sword with his telekinesis, heading towards the horse thieves on the other side.

Under the control of Wang Gang's mental power, the sword drew out streaks of cold light, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the horse thieves.

Wang Gang and Lu Qingchen cooperated with each other, and their swords and knives flew up and down, interweaving far and near, like the scythe of the god of death. In an instant, they killed a group of more than a hundred horse bandits without leaving a single piece of armor.

Li Yu's guards stopped what they were doing and watched Wang Gang and Lu Qingchen perform. For a moment, their awe for the practitioners reached its peak.

Wang Gang imitated Lu Qingchen's way of controlling the sword. Within ten feet, he controlled the sword remotely and flew with it. He was invincible until a long sword appeared out of nowhere, blocked his sword, and dispersed the vitality of heaven and earth and the mental power on the sword.

"Hey, there are practitioners among the assassins?" Wang Gang felt the mental power on the horizontal sword, and was defeated by an even more powerful mental power.

He lost control of the sword, and it was knocked ten feet away by a huge force.

A man who looked like a scholar was walking towards him from a distance, emitting a strong sense of pressure.

When Lu Qingchen saw the person coming, he shouted to Wang Gang, "My dear Wang, be careful. This person is a great swordsman in the Dongxuan realm."

Wang Gang became excited, as this was his first battle with a cultivator.
