Seeing that Wang Gang could not be persuaded to leave, Ning Que took Sang Sang and left the motorcade without hesitation or looking back.
When Li Yu heard the maid's report, she didn't pay much attention. 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.
It’s not a big problem at all to choose Ning Que, who is dispensable.
Li Yu ordered his men to stay where they were and rest for the night before setting off. He even asked the maid to boil water on fire. She would wash up in the evening 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, show off her appearance as a princess, and show it to those who wanted to kill her.
Lu Qingchen still stayed in the carriage. Except for communicating with Wang Gang, who was also a cultivator, he did not speak politely to anyone. Even if Li Yu came to invite him to dinner in person, he would not give him any face.
Practitioners have a transcendent status in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Qingchen is not only a monk in the Dongxuan Realm, but also a worshiper at the South Gate of Haotian Dao. He does not need to salute even when he sees people from the royal family.
His protection of Li Yu this time was also entrusted by Li Qingshan, the leader of the South Gate of Haotian Dao and the national advisor 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 and return to the court in the future to compete with Queen Xia Tian.
However, since Lu Qingchen didn't have enough money, Li Yu could only put his hope in Wang Gang, and even tried to recruit him personally by condescending him.
While Wang Gang was eating dry food, Li Yu and Xiaoman ran over in person and brought a small pot of wine to Wang Gang.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for the delicious food you made along the way. Xiaoman enjoyed it very much. I brought this pot of wine from the grassland. Please taste it."
Li Yu's attitude was quite low, and he also used his "son" as an excuse. Wang Gang couldn't even refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness, princess." Wang Gang took the wine bottle, then took out a piece of candy from his arms (space) and handed it to Xiaoman.
"Here's some candy for you." Wang Gang smiled at Xiaoman.
Xiaoman glanced at the candy and then at Li Yu, but did not pick it up immediately.
"Since Mr. Wang gave it to you, just accept it." Li Yu said with a smile.
Xiaoman accepted the candy happily, and then thanked Wang Gang: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Wang Gang touched Xiaoman's head and said, "You're welcome."
Li Yu pulled Xiaoman to sit next to Wang Gang and asked, "Will Mr. Wang have a place to live after he arrives in Chang'an? If not, he can stay at my princess's residence temporarily."
Wang Gang said casually: "I'm going to buy real estate in Chang'an. When the academy exams start, I have to ask the princess not to forget to get me a letter of recommendation."
Li Yu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. After returning to Chang'an, I will immediately ask my father to give you an examination qualification."
Wang Gang nodded, then concentrated on eating and ignored Li Yu.
Li Yu felt slightly embarrassed as he felt Wang Gang's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
?I thought that these monks are really arrogant, Lu Qingchen is like this, and Wang Gang is like this too.
"If Mr. Wang needs anything in Chang'an, you can come to me at the Princess Mansion." Li Yu left a message, got 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 couldn't let go of her figure. Her abilities were average. If she hadn't been 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 just because of her identity and wanted her to fight against Queen Xia Tian.
Because Xia Tian is a remnant of the Demon Sect and is assisted by his brother Xia Hou, this is something that the South Gate of Haotian Dao cannot tolerate.
?Haotian Dao believes in Haotian, but Mo Sect has turned its back on Haotian. The two sides are fighting for orthodoxy and have nothing to do with rights.
Wang Gang vaguely remembered that after the death of King Tang, the throne was left to Xia Xia's son Li Amber. However, Li Qingshan, the national counselor, was worried that the throne would fall into the hands of the Demon Sect and the Demon Sect would resurrect in the future, so he tampered with the imperial edict and forced Li Yu's younger brother Li Hunyuan to take the throne.
.
But Li Huanyuan was an out-and-out coward, and Li Yu's abilities were limited, and he almost wiped out the Tang Dynasty. If the Academy hadn't come forward to resist the allied forces attacking the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the most powerful country in the mainland would have disappeared long ago.
Wang Gang had no objection to Li Yu, but he didn't want to get involved in those power struggles. He came to Chang'an only to practice and didn't care about other things at all.
After eating dry food, Wang Gang did not drink. Instead, he checked his weapons and adjusted his condition to the best.
Wang Gang had already sensed that danger was approaching. He went to remind Li Yu and ask her people to be on guard, but Li Yu was too confident and didn't take it seriously at all.
When an arrow hit Li Yu's carriage, everyone woke up.
"Enemy attack!"
As soon as Li Yu's guard opened his mouth to remind everyone, an arrow shot through his throat.
A group of about a hundred bandits suddenly came from a distance, and arrows rained down, killing many people.
Li Yu's guards finally formed a defense line, but the bandits rushed to Li Yu's carriage and killed everyone on sight.
?This group of bandits was well-trained. They were not only good at archery and bowing, but also fearless of death. In an instant, Li Yao's guards suffered heavy losses.
Wang Gang held a spear in his hand, stood on Li Yu's carriage, and knocked down the flying arrows, but the horses in front of the carriage were still shot into sieves.
Everyone was trapped in place, and the bandits surrounded them in a circle, using bows and arrows to attack from afar, consuming Li Yu's guards.
"This cannot continue. We must break out."
Wang Gang danced with his spear like a tiger, creating a series of spear shadows, but he could only temporarily save Li Yu from death. As time went by, when Li Yu's guards were slaughtered, he was still unable to do anything.
Lu Qingchen, who had been sitting in the carriage, finally took action.
A short sword shot out of the air and headed straight towards the horse thief, instantly knocking one man off his horse.
Lu Qingchen used his mind power to control the sword, and its lethality was indeed extraordinary, and he quickly killed many horse thieves.
In front of a Dongxuan Master, ordinary people don't have much power to fight back, but Lu Qingchen only has one person, but there are more than a hundred times the number of horse thieves.
Fortunately, Lu Qingchen joined the battle, and Wang Gang finally relaxed and had enough time to observe Lu Qingchen's sword-handling style, which gave him a lot of inspiration.
Li Yu popped out of the carriage and said to Wang Gang: "Mr. Wang, what should we do now?"
Wang Gang said: "The horses have been shot to death. We can't run away. We can only kill all these horse thieves."
As he spoke, Wang Gang threw out the horizontal sword on his waist, used his mind power to control the vitality of heaven and earth, wrapped it around the long sword, learned Lu Qingchen's sword-handling method, and used his mind power to control the sword and move towards the horse thief on the other end.
Under the control of Wang Gang's telepathy, the Hengdao drew a trail of cold light, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the horse thieves.
Wang Gang and Lu Qingchen cooperated, one sword after another, flying up and down, interweaving far and near, like the scythe of death, killing more than a hundred horse thieves in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
Li Yu's guards all stopped at this time, watching Wang Gang and Lu Qingchen's performance, and their awe for the practitioners reached its peak.
Wang Gang imitated Lu Qingchen's sword-handling method. Within ten feet, he remotely controlled the horizontal sword and walked with the sword. He was invincible until a long sword appeared out of the sky, blocking his horizontal sword and destroying the heaven and earth energy and telekinesis on the horizontal sword.
Scattered.
"Hey, are there practitioners among the assassins?" Wang Gang felt the telepathy on the horizontal sword and was defeated by an even more powerful telepathy.
?He lost control of Heng Dao, and Heng Dao was knocked ten feet away by a huge force.
?A scholar-like person came from a distance, exuding strong pressure all over his body.
When Lu Qingchen saw the person coming, he shouted to Wang Gang: "Wang, be careful, this person is a great swordsman in the Dongxuan Realm."
Wang Gang became excited, this was his first battle with a practitioner.
