Tuoba Jian tore off the disguise and defeated the Green Snake Association, which was provoking at the door. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the other party's head-to-head run, he carried Hu Feng on his back, climbed over the courtyard wall and fled quickly. He knew in his heart that the rascals would not be willing to swallow the bitter fruit, and later he would lead the imperial guards to retaliate. The situation would be greatly disadvantageous. Even the top swordsmen in the world did not dare to compete with the well-trained army. Moreover, Hu Feng's injuries had not healed and could not cope with the siege of the iron armored soldiers.

It was dark and dusk was filled with mist, and the city gate had been closed and locked. The city wall was heavily guarded and brightly lit, so it was very difficult to force the pass.

Tuoba Jian surrendered to the city without trustworthy families. He went around and walked around and found that the courtyard was deep and the lights were sparse, which was suitable for hiding. He whispered: "Miss Hu, this is the City God Temple. How about we rest here first?"

Hu Feng stuck out his tongue and said, "Will doing this offend the City God?"

Tuoba Jian said: "The City God protects the safety of the people and is generous. How could he be petty with you and me?" Seeing that no one on the left and right, he jumped onto the wall and fell into the temple.

The City God Temple mainly worships the City God God. It originated from the ancient Shuiyong sacrifice. It was one of the eight gods of the Confucian "Zhou Palace". Later, it was promoted and reborn by Taoism and became the city's guardian god, symbolizing the protection of local tranquility. The City God Temple is one of the most important sacrificial places in the city. It consists of Yuanchen Hall, the God of Wealth Hall, Cihang Hall, the City God Hall, the Niangniang Hall, etc. It covers a large area, with tall trees and clean and dust-free ground, and has a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

The City God Temple is hosted by Taoist priests during the day, but closed at night to reject guests. No one dared to offend the gods who are in charge of the local yin and yang, so even those who are on night patrol are spared.

The night is shrouded in the sky, the huge temple is quiet, and the thin and long cats are clearly audible.

Hu Feng fell to the ground and bowed three times to the direction of the City God Palace, murmured, saying that he was imprisoned and obeyed the power, but he had no intention of offending the City God God, so he would burn incense and respect it in the future.

Tuoba Jian was born into a nomadic people outside the Great Wall and believed in the god of nature, the wind and rain of heaven and earth, and actually did not care whether the City God appeared. He walked around quietly and stole some of the fruit and pastries used for sacrifices from the main halls, just to treat it as supper.

The two hid in a hidden corner and simply filled their stomachs. Thinking that the future was not clear, they each had their own confusion. Hu Feng was worried about whether Zhao Yanrong had escaped from danger and when will Liu Qingyi's conspiracy be shattered? Tuoba Jian didn't know what to do next and where to go?

Hu Feng whispered: "Brother Tuoba, Liu Qingyi is the governor of Zhongyuan Army. He holds the military power of Hanzhong. He cannot resist him by his personal courage alone. In fact, I am the one he is going to hunt for. You are accidentally caught in the vortex." He briefly told Liu Qingyi's secret intentions and attempted to seize the princess, and explained the reason for his replacement of the princess.

Tuoba Jian said: "It turns out that you forcibly attacked Baocheng and deliberately created a huge momentum, with the purpose of attracting the enemy's attention and buying time for the princess to go east!"

Hu Feng nodded and said, "Yes. The princess is in charge of the safety of the world and must not fall into the hands of the rebels. Before I set out for Baocheng, I was determined to die, but I knew that the King of Hell would not accept me."

Tuoba Jian looked at the girl's resolute eyes, and a heat surged in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side. If anyone wants to kill you, he must step over my body first!"

Hu Feng was stunned when he heard this: "Brother Tuoba, you and I have a shallow relationship, you don't have to..."

Tuoba Jian interrupted, "Miss Hu, you have the courage to sacrifice your life for justice. Did I, Tuoba, have I, not the responsibility to help me? I used to only know how to kill, only know how to destroy the enemy, and never tried to save people's lives. Please give me a chance!"

Hu Feng sighed lightly: "If you leave me alone, you can easily escape from Baocheng alone. Why risk your life to become enemies with Liu Qingyi?"

Tuoba Jian asked back, "Do you want me to refuse to save me when I die?"

Hu Feng whispered: "Lingbo Pavilion regards Xuanyuan Gate as an enemy, but you are trying your best to help a Xuanyuan disciple. How can you explain to the master in the future?"

Tuoba Jian said: "I am me, Lingbo Pavilion is Lingbo Pavilion, I don't need to explain to anyone."

Hu Feng stared at him deeply, with a complicated expression. Even if he was close to him like a couple, he would say that he would fly away from each other when the disaster was coming. Tuoba Jian never left him in a critical moment. This intention was particularly valuable. It was easy to say that he lived and died together. When the real thing was coming, few people could do it. The thousands of words in her heart gathered into two words: "Thank you!"

Tuoba Jian said: "There is no need to thank me. I just hope you don't look down on me."

Hu Feng said in surprise: "Where do you say this? How could I look down on you?"

Tuoba Jian twitched in the corners of his eyes and said slowly: "My surname is Tuoba, my father is a Xianbei, and my mother is a female slave of the Han family. The Xianbei royal family refused to recognize my bloodline, and the Han people regarded me as a foreigner. In the Lingbo Pavilion, my fellow disciples looked down on me, and no one wanted to make friends with me. Including my master Shi Tiefo, he only looked at my qualifications for practicing swords. He hoped that I could avenge his previous shame, but never cared about whether I was happy or sad, good or evil. When my sword heart was broken, he discarded me like a waste, regardless of whether I could walk down Lingyun Peak alive."

The sadness and helplessness that reveals in his words is sad.

Tuoba Jian is not tolerant of the world, and because of his unique talent, he deliberately pretends to be as cold as an iceberg and refuses people with ulterior motives to approach. His coldness and ruthlessness are actually not due to his original intention, but the result of being distorted by the surrounding environment.

He wants to use killing to stop others from ridicule.

He wants to use his fast sword to prove that he is superior.

Hu Feng's heart trembled, and an inexplicable pity filled his chest, and he said softly: "Don't care about how others talk. If you have a clear conscience, you should raise your head and strode forward! I was born in a family in Lingyun City. I once thought that there were no heroes in the poor family, but the sudden emergence of Senior Brother Fu broke my prejudice. A person must first look at himself and work hard, and then others will respect you."

Tuoba Jian said aloud: "What you said is the truth?"

Hu Feng pretended to be angry and said, "You actually doubt me? Do you want me to swear to God?"

Tuoba Jian waved his hand quickly and said, "No! Then, are we friends?"

Hu Feng said seriously: "He is a close friend who shares life and death and hardships!"

Tuoba Jian grinned: "You think I am a friend, Tuoba Jian will never let you down in this life!"

Hu Feng blinked and asked, "What if there is a conflict between Xuanyuan Gate and Lingbo Pavilion?"

Tuoba Jian turned the railway decisively: "Even if the Pavilion Master comes forward, I will stand on your side!"

Hu Feng's cheeks were slightly red, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips...
