Chapter 7: Another Strange Person

"Master Zhou is extremely virtuous and loyal, and Mao Jiao admires him." Mao Jiao bowed to Zhou Chong with a sincere expression.

Zhou Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "You are not going to return your official position!" It was not that Zhou Chong was greedy for power. If he exposed Mao Jiao, it would be really uncomfortable to face. He jumped off his horse and returned the gift, saying, "Mr. Mao is so polite. Zhou Chong was impulsive and had something to do, which made Mr. Mao laugh."

Mao Jiao smiled and said happily: "Mr. Zhou is too humble. Mr. Zhou, to say something in his heart, what Mr. Zhou said is what Mao Jiao wants to say, what Mr. Zhou does is what Mao Jiao wants to do, and what Mr. Zhou says and do all comes from Mao Jiao's heart." He said with emotion: "Those who know me are Mr. Zhou!"

"I know you? Of course I know you. What I said and done are what you said and done back then. How can you not know you? How can you not be a confidant?" Zhou Chong pulled the reins with his right hand, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground with a smile. He tried his best to hold back his laughter and said, "What kind of virtue is Zhou Chong? How can Mr. Mao be so arrogant?" asked, "Why is Mr. Mao here?"

Mao Jiao smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't know that Mao Jiao was from Cangzhou. He loves mountains and rivers and likes entertainment. He doesn't come to Xianyang during the day and listens to the people in the same hotel occasionally talking about the Queen Mother's affairs. Mao Jiao was not angry for a moment and decided to advise the King of Qin. The king of Qin is the most powerful ruler in the world, and he will definitely decide to be the one who decides the world in the future. Although Mao Jiao is a man who does not understand etiquette in the mountains and fields, he dare not disrespect. He fasts and bathes first, and then asks to see the King of Qin. Unexpectedly, Mao Jiao was worried for nothing. The King of Qin had persuaded Lord Zhou to go to welcome the Queen Mother. No one in the palace made a decision. The ministers detained Mao Jiao until now. It was not until the King of Qin and the Queen Mother returned that the ministers secretly released Mao Jiao."

"Fasting and bathing, and admonitioning is not about worshiping Bodhisattvas, so solemnly? I really didn't expect that the difference between the front and back feet was so different. You became a prisoner, but I was a guest on the throne of Qin, and I was also granted an official position." Zhou Chong felt a little dizzy when he heard Mao Jiao's words. Although Zhou Chong knew what Mao Jiao did back then, he did not expect that there would be such unimaginable twists and turns when history started again.

"Mr. Mao is kind and filial. Zhou Chong cannot admire him. Please accept Zhou Chong's gift." Zhou Chong felt guilty and was determined to apologize to Mao Jiao.

Mao Jiao did not dare to accept it, and he supported it and said, "Mr. Zhou is farewell, Lord Zhou is a tragic evil Mao Jiao. Lord Zhou is among the meat eaters, and Lord Mao Jiao is happy. What Master Zhou said and done greatly won my heart. Mao Jiao came to meet him. Please forgive Mao Jiao for his abrupt crime."

"I steal your words and deeds, but you are a confidant in life. I really couldn't imagine that the ancients were really unpredictable." Zhou Chong knew that he was really a strange person, and he suddenly felt good about him. He pulled his arm and said, "If Mr. Mao does not abandon him, please go to Sibaozhai to discuss it, what about?"

Mao Jiao hesitated for a moment, was very happy, and said, "If Lord Zhou doesn't dislike Mao Jiao, Mao Jiao dares not obey orders."

Zhou Chong made a gesture with a Hu Ben Guard. The Hu Ben Guard dismounted and gave the horse to Mao Jiao. Zhou Chong said sideways: "Mr. Mao, please get on the horse."

Mao Jiao thanked him and flew onto the horse. Zhou Chong got on the horse, pulled the reins and said, "Brother Mao asked." He took the horse and walked, "Brother Mao, Zhou Chong had a reluctant request, and I hope Mr. Mao agreed."

"Mr. Zhou has something to say, Mao Jiao dares not obey orders." Mao Jiao said happily.

Zhou Chong continued: "Zhou Chong wanted Mr. Mao to condescend to Sibaozhai and stay for a while. Mr. Mao is very talented and Zhou Chong would like to listen to Mr. Zhuo's teachings every day." Mao Jiao is a kind of person who is honest and upright, talented and knows the way to adapt. He can be said to be an elite of the times. If he could stay and recruit him into Sibaozhai, he would be of great help to the tasks assigned by the King of Qin.

Mao Jiao didn't think about it and said, "Okay, Mao Jiao is about to ask Lord Zhou for advice. However, the people in Mao Jiao's mountains and fields do not understand etiquette, so please don't be surprised."

Zhou Chong said happily: "It is a joy to be with you in life! Mr. Mao, have you taken your luggage together?"

Mao Jiao pulled the reins and said, "Master Zhou, please come with Mao Jiao." He took the lead and Zhou Chong followed.

When he arrived at a hotel called Yuefuzhan, Mao Jiao said, "Master Zhou, it's here." He jumped off the horse and said, "Shopkeeper, pack up, Mao Jiao is leaving."

The shop owner was a middle-aged man, and his appearance was not bad. He was either good, he could see it. He was napping behind the counter and woke him up, saying, "Mao Jiao, which Mao Jiao?" When he saw Mao Jiao clearly, he looked panicked and said, "You, you, are you, the customer?" His eyes widened, and he looked like he didn't believe Mao Jiao stood in front of him.

His performance was too abnormal. Mao Jiao was a little confused and asked with a frown, "Shopkeeper, what are you doing? I'm not a human being?"

"No, no, no, no, the customer will misunderstand. I didn't mean that." The store owner looked embarrassed.

Zhou Chong followed in and saw the shopkeeper's appearance. He thought of something and suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and shouted, "Say, have you divided Mr. Mao's luggage privately?"

"Yes, no, no, don't talk nonsense." The shopkeeper first admitted it, and then denied it. This was already obvious. As Zhou Chong said, he and the guests of the hotel privately shared Mao Jiao's luggage.

Back then, Mao Jiao was going to advise the King of Qin, and the guests in the same hotel all ridiculed him for being stupid. Later, seeing that Mao Jiao was very strong, he turned to advise him not to die. When Mao Jiao left the hotel, the shopkeeper pulled his sleeve and asked him not to go, but Mao Jiao was unmoved. After Mao Jiao went, the people in the hotel discussed together and said that he would die if he went there, and decided to divide his luggage.

When history started again, this incident still happened. Zhou Chong didn't expect that he would be right after he was confused. He thought in surprise: "I still can't believe that the ancients with simple folk customs would do such bad things. Perhaps, at any time, there are both good people and bad people, and they cannot be generalized."

Mao Jiao grabbed the shopkeeper and shouted: "How dare you do such a stupid thing? Are you not afraid of the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"

"Customer, let go quickly. These are their ideas, they are their ideas." The shopkeeper begged for mercy and said, "It's all my fault that I was obsessed with money for a while. I just gave it to the teacher. No, I'll pay it twice as much."

There was a quarrel below, and three men came down from the upper floor, carrying packages, with excitement on their faces. When they saw Mao Jiao, their faces changed suddenly. They turned around and ran upstairs. Look at them, as if they were dying, meeting the ghost judge of the King of Hell.

Before Mao Jiao understood what was going on, Zhou Chong had already understood that these three people were also people involved in dirt division. He waved his hand and said, "Catch them!" The Hu Ben Guard got the order and ran upstairs.

The Hu Ben Guard was agile. When Zhou Chong and Mao Jiao went upstairs, the three guests were already kneeling on the ground.

Mao Jiao stood in front of them and scolded them, "I, Mao Jiao, treat you very well. You are ungrateful just for a little profit."

"Mr. Mao, please spare me." The three guests crept on the ground, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
