King Lanling stood like a straight spear in the wind and sand. What appeared in front of him was a city wrapped in wind and sand-the Golden Court.

King Lanling looked at this lifeless but mysterious city, and all kinds of memories came to his heart: Gao Changgong was not the eldest son of the Gao royal family since he was a child, and he had no chance to inherit the throne. In order to protect the family and defend the country, in order to guard the Gao royal family, the first emperor sent Gao Changgong to the west to Jinting City, where he was trained by the generals who stayed in the desert of the clouds in the Western Regions. Who knew that it didn't take long for the Tang Dynasty to rise, Gao Changgong had not really grown up, the Gao royal family was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, Gao Changgong watched his parents and brothers die in the war together, and he saw such a tragic situation when he stepped into Chang'an for the only and last time. After that, he broke away from the Great Wall to the west, was picked up and educated by his master, and became the king of Lanling, who is now alone in the Western Regions.

"I believe that without the fetters of the royal family, life here is better. King Lanling muttered in his heart, and finally took a step and approached the walls of Jinting City.

"What kind of person!" As the only big city in the desert in the clouds, Jinting City was heavily guarded, and they would be besieged by the demon seed every day, and they couldn't believe that any human who approached for no reason, let alone alone.

"It's me, Gao Changgong. King Lanling said, stopped in front of the gate, raised his head, and stared directly at the general defending the city with wide eyes.

"Gao Changgong?" Yu Juluo, the general guarding the city, was stunned for a moment, looked down carefully, but he didn't recognize it very much, and pointed to the king of Lanling and said: "Then you say that you are Gao Changgong?

"You also know that I haven't returned to the Golden Court for ten years, so what's the difference between me wearing a mask and not?" King Lanling said coldly, although he only showed a pair of eyes, the cold qi released felt like it was enough to cut anyone's heart.

"Uh······" Yu Juluo was stunned, and hurriedly swallowed his saliva and said: "Don't talk nonsense! If you can't prove your identity, then you will be punished as an enemy soldier! Brothers, prepare to release arrows!"

Although the soldiers on the city tower had never seen King Lanling, they all knew his name and knew that he was the real master of this Golden Courtyard City, and they were all happy to cheer him into the city, but they heard this order. They were not easy to disobey the general's order, so they had to reluctantly bend their bows and arrows.

"Oh, it's boring. King Lanling shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I don't want you to destroy it." Then he took off his mask, revealing his handsome face.

"You ······" Yu Juluo also didn't recognize him now, he was stunned for a moment, seeing that many soldiers around him had put down their bows, knowing that they had no intention of fighting, he sighed and said: "No matter who you are, I don't believe you can stir up any storms by yourself." And he ordered the gates of the city to be opened.

The corners of King Lanling's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled at Yu Juluo, then put on his mask again and strode into Jinting City.

Yu Juluo hurried down the city tower, came to the side of King Lanling and stared at it with wide eyes, and said with some doubts: "You······ You're Gao Changgong?"

King Lanling just glanced at him lightly, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "We've met before." He walked forward and walked past him, and Yu Juluo froze in place, until the wind and sand blew "Take me to see Yang Guang" into his ears, and he came back to his senses and chased after him.

The two followed many defenders to the center of the city, and when the people of the city heard the news, they all crowded into the aisles to watch and discuss it. The name Gao Changgong and Jin Tingcheng seem to have been separated for ten years, but who still remembers this name.

When Yang Guang, the king of Jinting, heard the news, he hurriedly rushed to greet him with his subordinates, and as soon as he saw the outfit of the king of Lanling, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, walked around the king of Lanling twice, touched his beard, and said, "You are Gao Changgong?"

"Yang Guang. King Lanling had already guessed what they would do, and he didn't want to bother to speak, so he said directly: "Before I returned to Chang'an ten years ago, I told you to remember who this Golden Court belongs to, and you haven't forgotten this sentence." ”

Yang Guang's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is the king of our Golden Court, and ten years have passed in this moment." I didn't expect our king to really return from practicing peerless martial arts, don't worry, my king can rest assured, the Golden Court has been firmly guarded by me in the past ten years, and there is no trace of crisis, whether it is the countries of the Western Regions or the demon species, don't want to attack the Golden Court. ”

"Really?" King Lanling stretched out his hand and touched the headdress on Yang Guang's head, which symbolized the king, reflexively stepped back and said to Yang Guang: "How dare you, the current King of Jinting is Brother Yang." I, Gao Changgong, am just the empty King of Lanling, how can I compare with Brother Yang, the King of Jinting with real power? Besides, the fief given to me by the first king is the Drift City, not here, I just came back to take a look, and I have no intention of seizing it. ”

"No, no, no. Yang Guang immediately retorted: "What is this that my king said? I took over as King of Jinting entirely because my king was not there, and now that my king is back, the position of King of Jinting should still be taken by my king." As he spoke, he took off his royal hat and made a gesture to put it on for King Lanling.

"Don't. King Lanling stretched out his hand to stop Yang Guang's actions: "My mission is to revive Chang'an, not to enjoy it in Jinting." Until I recover Chang'an, I must ensure the safety of the last of our Gao royal family. As he spoke, he put his hand on Yang Guang's shoulder, and said loudly through his mask: "When I recover Chang'an, I will definitely take everyone back to Chang'an to enjoy happiness!"

"Good!" the people didn't know that much, and many of them even had a lot of opinions about him, but when they heard him say this, they all cheered. After all, Chang'an is prosperous, everyone has heard a lot, and they are envious of Chang'an's life.

"Since my king said so, it seems that he will continue to attack Datang. Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully, and made a "please" gesture to King Lanling, and said: "Then please invite my king to visit the palace where he lived in the past and live here for one night, which can be regarded as reminiscing about the past." ”

"Nope. King Lanling sighed for a while and said, "If you want to restore the country, you can't live a luxurious life in the past." No pain, no gain. I can sleep in the city at will, and after tomorrow, the safety of Jinting will depend on Brother Yang. With that, he bowed his hand to Yang Guang, and suddenly rushed upwards with force, disappearing invisibly between the roads.

The people all talked about it, and almost all of them were lamenting the strength of the martial arts and the mystery of the skills of this old king of Jinting. Yu Juluo looked at Yang Guang, who was pale, with a blue face, and hurriedly returned to the palace with him.

"I thought he was buried in Chang'an with his dog father, the emperor, but I didn't expect that after ten years, he would actually come back alive! Remember, Jinting, there can only be one king! Find him and end this dispute for me!" Yang Guang quietly looked down at the scene of the Jinting market below from the high place of the palace, and said hatefully.

"Understood. Yu Juluo said: "He dares to sarcastically mock the king's extravagance, so why will the king rule the Golden Court tomorrow, doesn't he also say that he is the real king of the Golden Court?

"I can see it quite thoroughly, but I think you are even more thorough!" Yang Guang looked at the dark part of the room, suddenly stretched out his right hand and shook it fiercely in front of his chest, and said, "I don't care what you think, the person who robs me of my position can't stay!"

At night, a bright moon.

The King of Lanling stood quietly on the roof of the city wall, watching Yu Juluo lead countless defenders to surround the house where he stood.

"On Yang Guang's orders, come and take my head?"

"King Lanling is really sensible. Yu Jura arched his hand at him and said, "The king will not leave anyone who may compete for his position." Even if there was a possibility of threatening him, he would not stay. ”

"That's right. There seemed to be something rolling in King Lanling's eyes, and he muttered, "The friendship of his childhood has no value to him. He sighed, bowed his head and said, "Since you know his temperament, you dare to follow him?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Juluo didn't quite understand, and asked, "I am the most capable officer under the king, please explain what you mean." As he spoke, he bowed his hand to King Lanling.

"You are the most powerful general in Jinting, and you are also the most supported by the people, that is, the person who can threaten his position the most. As he spoke, King Lanling flicked the blade of his right hand, swung the Shadow Dagger straight down, and slashed at the top of the city wall, and the city wall was immediately corroded by the Shadow Dagger's eyes, which was a large piece of mutilation compared to just now. When the generals saw it, they were so frightened that they scrambled to retreat.

"The knife with which he killed his own man must have been much sharper than my dagger this time. "Everyone, including Yu Juluo, only heard this cold voice, and the Lanling King himself had disappeared into the night sky.

"I don't want to be the king of the Golden Court, I just want my people to be well. ”

The King of the Golden Court, the guardian of the Desert in the Clouds, will never give up here even if he dies.

"King Lanling - Gao Changgong. ”
