He talks beautifully, but what he wants in his heart is multiple friends and multiple paths. It would be no problem to meet such a rich and well-rounded official as a brother. What's more, his conversation is also elegant.

The handwriting was quite good, so Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "Haha, shopkeeper Zhu is being polite, but Qiu has a bad temper. If we have been together for a long time, shopkeeper Zhu will know that I have no other intentions."

"Then let's go to the Taoist temple and kowtow in front of the gods. It will be more solemn."

Qiu Wuhen didn't expect that this shopkeeper Zhu had a charlatanic plot. He actually saw the right thing and kowtowed to swear an oath. He waved his hand and said: "This is tacky. Do you have to kowtow in front of the gods? It's right on the roadside.

Are you going to stop admitting it if you kowtow? Formalism kills people."

Shopkeeper Zhu laughed loudly: "Brother is right, but I was wrong again."

Then he immediately ordered Cui Liu to set up an incense table and other items. Cui Liu took six sticks of incense, lit them and handed them to them respectively. The two lifted up their robes and knelt down on the open ground by the roadside, facing the direction of the Taoist temple. The two lined up.

As for their birthdays, Qiu Wuhen and Shopkeeper Zhu were both born in the same year, but Qiu Wuhen's month was several months older than Shopkeeper Zhu's, so Qiu Wuhen became the elder brother and Shopkeeper Zhu became the younger brother.

Qiu Wuhen imitated the appearance in the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan. Holding the incense, he said: "Shopkeeper Zhu and I are sworn brothers today. By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is Zhu Qi,"

"Today Zhu Qi and I have become sworn brothers. We do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we wish to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. We share the honor and disgrace and treat each other with sincerity. If we violate this oath, we will be punished by heaven and earth."

Zhu Qi nodded and said what he said again. The two of them put the incense on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then the two kowtowed to each other three more times. The drinks were served, and Zhu Qi and Qiu Wuhen each put half of their heads together.

The glass of wine spilled on the floor, and the remaining half of the glass was drank in one gulp.

Zhu Qi said to Qiu Wuhen: "Brother, we will all be a family from now on. I am very happy to be able to meet my brother and to be married to him."

"Yes, brothers are not ordinary people at first sight. Needless to say polite words, we will treat each other as brothers from now on, treat each other with sincerity, and share weal and woe."

Cuiliu and Wanran both came up to congratulate and said: "Congratulations, sir, on your marriage to Jinlan."

Zhu Qi pointed at Qiu Wuhen and said to them: "From now on, he will be the eldest master, and I will be the second master. Remember it clearly."

Cuiliu and Wanran both shouted to Qiu Wuhen Fuli: "I have met the uncle."

Qiu Wuhen laughed loudly.

Early the next morning, Qiu Wuhen got up and took Tang Yan to the courtyard of the restaurant where Shopkeeper Zhu and the others were staying. The horses were ready. Only then did Qiu Wuhen realize that Shopkeeper Zhu had quite a few people with him, more than ten people.

There were all kinds of carriages and carriages, and there were several large carriages loaded with various things. However, the place they were going to was not accessible to carriages and horses. In the end, even horses could not go into the valley, so they could only walk through it. So Zhu Qi

He only brought a few followers with him, each carrying a bag of things on his back, plus Cuiliu and Wanran.

Because all expenses are taken care of by shopkeeper Zhu. Therefore, other people do not need to bring any luggage and can just pack lightly.

A group of people set out for Beitie Mountain. Beitie Mountain is deep in the mountains, and it takes more than an hour to ride on horseback. When they reach the bottom of the mountain, they will help the servants to carry them up the mountain on foot.

All along the way I saw lush greenery, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. It was really beautiful.

Tang Yan has been following Qiu Wuhen, and she is already panting from exhaustion. Qiu Wuhen used to take Qian Jinzhi with her when she went out. This time because she was not familiar with her, she didn't call and just talked to a few friends. Now seeing Tang Yan,

Suddenly I remembered Qian Jinzhi. That girl walked like a breeze and could climb high mountains without even breathing. Unlike Tang Yan, who was originally a lady and the daughter of a county magistrate, she naturally had few opportunities to exercise like this.

As they were walking, Tang Yan suddenly said to Qiu Wuhen: "Sir, I really can't walk anymore, how about... let me rest."

Qiu Wuhen stopped and looked at everyone. They were all panting and sweating from exhaustion. The weather was already hot, it was climbing, and the sun was shining brightly. It was indeed very hard. However, he found that Cui was following behind Shopkeeper Zhu.

Liu, Wanran, and five or six servants were not panting or sweating, as if they were taking a peaceful walk. It seemed that these people should all be martial arts practitioners. Although Qiu Wuhen did not know martial arts, he was still walking along the way.

When we climbed up the hill, everyone else was as tired as dogs, but they were relaxed and relaxed. Even a blind person would know that they are capable people.

Seeing Qiu Wuhen stop, Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and fanned herself with the silk handkerchief in her hand. She could see that fine beads of sweat were faintly visible on her fair face.

Qiu Wuhen himself was not that particular. Su Jinsong had prepared a lot of sweat towels for him before, but if he didn't have Qian Jinzhi around, he would never remember to bring them with him. At this time, he could only wipe his forehead with his sleeves.

Hot sweat on the body.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought Miss Tang out with me. She looks like a spoiled and pampered girl. It seems like she can't walk anymore."

Tang Yan was a little embarrassed and whispered: "If your wife comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to walk."

Although Tang Yan's voice was not loud, Qiu Wuhen heard it and couldn't help but smile: "My wife is different from you. If she is tired, she can let me carry her on my back, but you have to walk alone."

Tang Yan blushed, knowing that Qiu Wuhen was teasing her, a little girl who was preparing to leave the court, so she said angrily: "Sir, how can you say such shameless words to a little girl like me? It's really..."

Qiu Wuhen also felt that something was wrong. He was used to quarreling with Qian Jinzhi. Then he remembered that the little girl in front of him was different from Qian Jinzhi. She had grown up reading the precepts of women and girls. How could she joke with him?

He looked serious and said, "Miss Tang, don't mind. I really shouldn't have said what I just said to you. I'm sorry."

Tang Yan felt embarrassed when she saw Qiu Wuhen apologize seriously. She knew that Qiu Wuhen was by no means the unreasonable person like Meng Lang. She smiled shyly and said, "I am also joking. You don't need to take it seriously. It's just that the road is really far. What should I do?"

It’s really tiring if you don’t do this much.”

The scholar Wenwen possessed by Qiu Wuhen is weak and cannot climb mountains or walk long distances. Fortunately, he has a medicinal gourd, which emits white gas from time to time to increase his motivation, so he is better than others.

It was much easier. However, Yaogulu did not provide direct and continuous help, so Qiu Wuhen was actually a little tired, but in comparison, it was much easier.

Hearing what Tang Yan said, Qiu Wuhen thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, I will find a stick and help you walk a while."

Zhu Qi on the side listened and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry so much. With so many people following, is it possible that there are still people with their eyes open and telling lies? It's really not easy for a girl to follow us and a group of big men in the clear day. Just do it."

Hold on tight, let's pretend we can't see anything."

Everyone else who said a few words secretly laughed.

Qiu Wuhen looked around, but couldn't find a stick that could be used to assist Tang Yan. Zhu Qi then said again: "Just hold Miss Tang Yan's elbow. There is nothing to do with the clothes.

As long as Miss Tang Yan doesn't mind."

Tang Yan naturally didn't have the strength to leave anymore. Since everyone said so at this time, she nodded in agreement.

So Qiu Wuhen was not polite and directly reached out and grabbed her arm, carrying her forward.

Tang Yan didn't expect Qiu Wuhen to leave immediately. Fortunately, Qiu Wuhen was a very careful person. Qiu Wuhen walked very quickly. Tang Yan felt that they were very relaxed and comfortable. She didn't bother to complain and kept complaining from time to time.

Turn around and tell the people behind you to hurry up.

These people were all walking, panting from exhaustion. Even the servants could keep up, but they had to follow Zhu Qi. Qiu Wuhen dragged Tang Yan hundreds of steps in one breath, and then stopped on a mountain.

.Looking back, I saw that they were still halfway up the mountain, slowly climbing up like a snail.

Qiu Wuhen let go of Tang Yan and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while and let's go forward after they arrive."

Tang Yan hummed, blushing and said, "Why is it so fast all of a sudden?"

"This makes people feel refreshed during happy events."

"A happy event, what happy event? I won't let you think it is a happy event."

"No, no, dragging you around makes me feel that the weather is very hot, and your body is like a ball of fire. But a mountain breeze blew just now, and it is very cool, so this mountain peak is a happy event."

Tang Yan didn't expect that he only cared about the mountain breeze and didn't care about her. He hugged a girl intimately and climbed the mountain. In his mind, was she a man or a woman? This made Tang Yan angry and anxious, and she was furious.

After glaring at him, Qiu Wuhen pretended not to look at her, but kept shaking her fan in the mountain breeze, feeling the coolness.

When they were about to climb up, Zhu Qi said loudly: "Brother is so good at running so fast that I can't even keep up with him, and he even took a girl with him."

However, Qiu Wuhen ignored Zhu Qi who had a smirk on his face and said with a smile: "Okay, let's move forward. Do you want me to help you?"

After speaking, she looked at Tang Yan. Tang Yan stretched out her arms generously, with a pretty face as red as a pomegranate.

Qiu Wuhen was not polite, took her arm, and dragged him towards the hillside in one breath.

Zhu Qi sighed and said: "You two are really a pair of gods. You can run as fast as you walk on the mountain road. Who would believe it if you were someone else?"

Qiu Wuhen had already carried Tang Yan and rushed up the hill in one breath.

There are several words written on a stone wall on the hill, "Stele Mount."

Qiu Wuhen put down Tang Yan, walked forward while shaking his folding fan, raised his head and read a few words. Then he turned to look at the canyon in the distance and said, "It's still so far away, God."

Tang Yan tilted her head and thought about the words, then asked Qiu Wuhen, "What do you think of the writing of these words?"

"It's pretty good. It looks very hard, as if it was struck by an axe."
