Chapter 162 Each Has Its Own Merits

Zhong Min stopped and looked back, only to see Xie Feng running towards him with a small bag in his hand. The bag was bulging and looked a bit like a purse.

As expected, after he caught up, he stuffed the bag of things into Zhong Min's hands and said, "Sister, I'm not very capable, so this is all I have. Take it, it will be of some use to you."

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of paper and handed it to Zhong Min. "I know your personality well. You have your own ideas about everything. I don't worry about anything else. But it's not the same for a girl like you to be out all day. This is my home address. Whenever you want, just come find me. This place will always be your home, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhong Min was deeply moved. She didn't expect that she had such a good relationship with others. Even when she was in trouble, there were still so many people around her who treated her sincerely. It was really not in vain.

She solemnly put the small note away, and then handed the purse back to Xie Feng and said, "Brother, thank you. It is really a blessing for Zhong Min to have such a good brother like you. I will keep the address and will definitely visit you in the future. As for this silver, you should keep it for yourself. You know I am not short of money. The money I earned last time is still here. What's more, I just got another three hundred taels of money. It is more than enough to do a small business anywhere with this. Don't worry."

Xie Feng wanted to say something more to persuade her, but Zhong Min refused to accept it. He said a few more words and then turned around and left with Xier.

After leaving Prince Mu's mansion, the two walked a short distance. Xi'er was about to ask Zhong Min where she was going when she casually stopped a donkey cart and asked for the price of a ride out of town, about five miles away. A deal was quickly struck, and Zhong Min said nothing, simply asking Xi'er to get on board.

After getting in the car, seeing Xier's face, which looked like it couldn't help but ask, Zhong Min just smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll know later," and then closed his eyes to rest. Xier was very surprised. After leaving Prince Mu's mansion, Zhong Min looked completely different from before. There was no trace of anger or impulsiveness in his expression. He had completely returned to his usual calm and relaxed appearance, as if nothing had happened before.

However, she did not ask any more questions. After all, she was already out now, and she would just follow Zhong Min in the future. She didn't know why, but she seemed to have decided on Zhong Min in her heart. Whether it was good or bad, following her gave her a backbone, and everything else was not that important.

Soon, the driver took them to the outside of the city. After walking for a while, Zhong Min asked the driver to stop. After paying the driver, he drove the donkey cart back and soon disappeared.

"Jin'er, there's no village in front and no shop behind. Where are we going?" Xier pulled Zhong Min, unable to help herself.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Min cleared his throat and said, "Xi'er, from now on, you must call me Master in public. From now on, my other identity will be Master Wuyou. Do you understand?"

"Young Master? Young Master Wuyou?" Xier nodded, not quite understanding. Seeing that Zhong Min was wearing men's clothes, she thought that she just dressed as a man and changed her name to make it easier to walk around outside.

Just as they were about to ask where they were going, they saw a carriage coming towards them quickly and soon stopped beside them.

Taking a closer look, the two coachmen looked familiar. Xier was just wondering where she had seen them before, when she saw the curtain of the carriage lifted and a familiar figure jumped down from it.

"Zi Yan? How could it be you?" Xier was extremely surprised. Before she could finish her words, she saw Chu'er and Xiang'er also got out of the car and stood in front of them.

"Chu'er, Xiang'er, why are you here too?" Xi'er was completely confused and looked at Zhong Min hurriedly: "Jin'er, what on earth is going on?"

"Wrong, you have to call me Young Master. Sister Xier, don't forget next time!" Zi Yan said with a smile, and then said to Zhong Min, "Young Master, everything is ready. Please get in the car!"

Zhong Min nodded and said to Xier, who still had a dazed look on her face, "Okay, get in the car first. I'll let them tell you what's going on."

After saying that, Zhong Min got on the carriage first, and soon the others followed suit. After a while, the carriage set off again, heading towards the capital.

In fact, Zhong Min had not thought about bringing so many maids to Beijing at first, but after listening to what Xiao Mingzheng said, she realized that there were indeed hidden tigers and crouching dragons around her. Fortunately, she always treated these people well, otherwise she would really have to worry about being retaliated against.

She had suspected Ziyan's identity before, but she wasn't sure. It wasn't until Xiao Mingzheng revealed everything last night that she finally understood. It turned out that the girl was a spy for the Beijing intelligence agency. Her martial arts skills were average, but her intelligence skills were top-notch. When Zhong Min was seriously injured and unconscious and needed care, Xiao Mingzheng sent Ziyan back to Muzhou. Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, he had saved a very valuable spy. His purpose in returning to the capital was to rebuild the intelligence system, so Ziyan would be of great use.

Unlike Ziyan, Chu'er and Xiang'er weren't professional intelligence agents, but they were both secret guards with exceptional martial arts skills, true masters. This allowed them to continue posing as maids and protecting Zhong Min, and their abilities could also be of considerable assistance. Therefore, Xiao Mingzheng had already arranged for these two to be expelled from the palace.

As for Xier, it was purely a pleasant surprise. Originally, Zhong Min did not want her to get involved in these things, but Xiao Mingzheng told Zhong Min that Xier had an ability that no one else had, and this ability could play a very important role to Zhong Min at critical moments, but the premise was that Xier had to be completely loyal to Zhong Min willingly, otherwise it would be useless.

Therefore, Xi'er was not dealt with in advance like Ziyan, Chu'er, and Xiang'er, but was treated differently. Unexpectedly, this girl was indeed a kindhearted person, so Xiao Mingzheng took the opportunity to expel her from Prince Mu's mansion under the pretext of pleading for Zhong Min and making an example of her. Strangely, Xiao Mingzheng didn't tell Zhong Min what Xi'er's special ability was, simply stating that she would know it. Zhong Min had originally been reluctant to leave Xi'er alone in the mansion. If she left, Jiang Xiyan would definitely not let Xi'er go easily, so it made sense to take her along.

The two men driving the carriage outside were the secret guards who had previously protected Zhong Min, and would serve as his servants from now on. Furthermore, Xiao Mingzheng had given Zhong Min a half-broken jade, saying it could be useful in any life-or-death situation...

In short, Xiao Mingzheng racked his brains to make everything as thorough as possible for her. If reality didn't allow it, he would have wanted to send all the secret guards to her. Thinking of this, Zhong Min couldn't help but laugh secretly, completely immersed in the most exciting memories of last night.

After hearing Zi Yan's simple explanation, Xi'er finally understood that everything was just a setup by the prince. She breathed a sigh of relief and was incredibly happy for Zhong Min. Thinking about her future trip to the capital, she suddenly felt excited. Perhaps it was because she'd been around Zhong Min for so long, but she felt her personality had changed. She used to be timid, but now she felt so calm that she found it boring.

Chu'er and Xiang'er never talk much, especially Xiang'er, who is as quiet as a transparent person. She will only say "hmm" and answer when someone asks her something. Zhong Min looked at her and felt that Xiang'er's personality really has the temperament of a master. She doesn't have a particularly outstanding appearance, but that kind of indescribable coldness has a unique charm.

Suddenly I felt that the four women in front of me really have their own merits. In terms of personality, Xier is smooth, Chuer is calm, Ziyan is lively, and Xianger is quiet. In terms of appearance, Ziyan is the prettiest, Chuer is the smartest, Xier is not beautiful but also looks pleasing, and Xianger, as I said, has the most charming temperament.

She didn't expect that she would lead a group of female soldiers. She couldn't help laughing. It really proved the saying that women hold up half the sky. Now she really has an opportunity. She must do something to show those who look down on women and prove that women are no worse than men!

After about half an hour's journey, the carriage suddenly stopped. Chu'er and Xiang'er immediately became alert. Just as they were about to lift the curtain to check, they heard the secret guard driving outside say, "Sir, the prince is here!"

The names of these two secret guards are quite easy to remember. The taller one is called Xiaowu and the shorter one is called Xiaoliu. Although they don't look outstanding, they both have special skills. Of course, Zhong Min has never seen them with her own eyes, but she knows that the secret guards are ranked according to their abilities and identities. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are ranked so high, so it must be true.

When she heard that it was Xiao Mingzheng who came, she was naturally surprised and quickly stood up to get off the car. She had thought that Xiao Mingzheng would not come to say goodbye to her alone, but she did not expect that he would come anyway.

After getting off the car, they saw Xiao Mingzheng waiting nearby. It looked like he had come quickly from the side road with his secret guards. Seeing Zhong Min approach, the others stepped back without being told, and naturally, Xier and the others didn't follow him at this time.

"Why are you here?" Zhong Min stood beside Xiao Mingzheng and asked with a hint of worry, "If Jiang Xiyan knew about this, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"It's okay, I've made all the arrangements, nothing will happen." Xiao Mingzheng caressed Zhong Min's face and said softly, "I just wanted to come and see you off. After this departure, I don't know how long it will take before we see each other again. Min'er, I have something for you."
