After what had just happened, and after hearing Zhong Min's words, the guards had already begun to look at him with new eyes. The best thing about men who come from the military camp is this: as long as you have real ability to convince them, they will naturally respect and trust you.

Faced with Zhong Min's confident questioning, the guards looked at each other and nodded, their heads acknowledging Mr. Zhong Min's identity. The guard who had first deflected the flying knife and located the "assassin" bowed in admiration and said to Zhong Min, "We admire you. Please enlighten me, sir!"

Soon, the other guards also reacted immediately. Like the guard who first expressed his opinion, they all said respectfully to Zhong Mingong in unison, "We admire you. Please teach us, sir!"

"No need to be so polite!" Seeing this, Zhong Min smiled at everyone in a friendly manner and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such courtesy.

Seeing this, Xie Feng was naturally very happy for Zhong Min. At the same time, he was extremely impressed by his new sister, as if he had found a treasure. He was about to praise her out loud, but saw Xiao Mingzheng standing up and walking towards him. He had to stop and immediately stepped aside.

"That was truly spectacular!" Xiao Mingzheng rarely praised anyone. He walked over to Zhong Min, a faint smile on his face, and continued, "I'm very much looking forward to this special team you're about to train!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Zhong Min will do her best." Zhong Min was slightly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Mingzheng twice. To be honest, this was the first time she had heard Xiao Mingzheng praise her so explicitly, so she was a little uncomfortable with it.

After hearing Zhong Min's reply, Xiao Mingzheng said nothing more, but nodded slightly. Then he said to the guards, "You are all the best soldiers in our army. I hope you can soon become an equally outstanding security team!"

"We will remember the prince's teachings and defend him to the death!" Everyone's spirits were immediately high, and their neat and loud responses were full of confidence and strength.

Seeing this, Xiao Mingzheng didn't linger, but left with his entourage. Just as everyone was saying goodbye to the prince, Luo Jiaxing, who hadn't spoken since becoming an "assassin," hurriedly followed. As he passed by Zhong Min, he lowered his voice and whispered to her, "I played the villain as you requested. Please don't hold a grudge against me anymore."

After saying this, he didn't have time to wait for Zhong Min's response. He quickly followed Xiao Mingzheng and left the courtyard together.

Zhong Min was overjoyed when he heard that. It seemed Luo Jiaxing really cared about his image as a gentleman, even considering him a little bit of an affront to be playing an assassin with hidden weapons. Actually, he hadn't really taken it personally for not being able to hold back his laughter; he'd just been teasing him.

After Xiao Mingzheng left, Zhong Min officially started the first professional security course for these guards. With the preparation from the previous events, everyone was very serious and no troubles arose.

In the next few days, Zhong Min set aside a fixed time to provide professional training to these people. After imparting everything she thought these people must learn, Xie Feng and others were responsible for further training and consolidation in the practical mode.

After returning to Xiao Mingzheng's bedroom from Mo Garden in the evening, Zhong Min was about to go back to his room to rest as usual, but was stopped by Xiao Mingzheng.

"Wait a minute, come and help me undress first." Xiao Mingzheng said calmly, and the servant who originally wanted to help him undress had already retreated smartly.

"Don't you have someone helping you? I've never done any of this." Zhong Min was naturally unhappy. Although she was Xiao Mingzheng's personal maid on the surface, that was just on the surface. Why was she suddenly asked to do all this? Seeing that Xiao Mingzheng had already sent everyone else out of the room, she couldn't help but be on guard.

Xiao Mingzheng naturally saw what Zhong Min was thinking. After everyone else left, he explained to Zhong Min with a look of "you're overthinking it," "I'm going to Lin County in a couple of days to comfort the people and stay there tonight. You don't want people to see that my personal maid can't even do this, do you?"

Hearing this, Zhong Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she had been overthinking it. Although she was reluctant, Xiao Mingzheng's words made sense. It was indeed necessary to practice in advance. Otherwise, she, a personal maid, would not be able to stand aside and act like a young lady with nothing to do.

Xiao Mingzheng was indeed very meticulous. He even thought of such a small matter in advance and sent everyone else away. It seemed that he was not sure whether she would do these things, so he found an opportunity for her to try it alone in advance.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. It's just undressing. I'll take care of it." Zhong Min looked as if nothing could be difficult for her, and as she spoke, she stepped forward to help Xiao Mingzheng undress.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched Xiao Mingzheng's clothes, she was stopped immediately. Xiao Mingzheng said with an expectant look, "You are wrong. You need to take off your crown and loosen your hair first." He was right. As soon as Zhong Min came forward, she started to undress him, completely confused about the most basic order.

"Huh?" Zhong Min had no idea that undressing also involved all those other things. However, she still accepted it with an open mind and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance."

She had no choice but to do what Xiao Mingzheng said, taking off the crown and loosening the hair. Xiao Mingzheng was very tall, and Zhong Min couldn't ask him to squat down, so she had to tiptoe slightly and fiddle with it for a long time before she clumsily untied his tied hair.

"What's next?" She asked with a smile, but her eyes kept staring at Xiao Mingzheng's smooth, thick black hair. She was filled with envy, wondering how a grown man could have hair that looked better than a woman's. "Do you want to comb your hair a little?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Mingzheng asked back, with an expression that said, "You are really an idiot." He didn't know whether the person in front of him was a woman or not.

"If you ask me, it should be combed." Zhong Min giggled and reacted immediately. She quickly picked up the comb on the table beside her and combed Xiao Mingzheng's hair a few times.

"Your Highness, I have a question, may I ask it?" Zhong Min couldn't help but touch his hair while combing it, and finally wanted to bravely speak out the question in his heart.

Xiao Mingzheng remained silent upon hearing Zhong Min's words. Zhong Min knew this was a tacit agreement, so she quickly took the opportunity to ask, "Your Highness, what do you usually use to wash your hair?"

Damn, a grown man's hair is so smooth and black, but her hair is as hard as grass. I guess there must be something wrong with the shampoo. Actually, Li Jin'er's hair is pretty good, thick and black, but it's a pity that it's not smooth at all and there's no shine at all.

Originally, she didn't care much about whether her hair looked good or not, but it was very difficult to comb every day, and it always hurt when she pulled it. If it was as smooth as Xiao Mingzheng's, it would probably be much easier to manage, so she couldn't help but ask for the secret recipe.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhong Min's question, Xiao Mingzheng didn't answer at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "This is not something a maid should be involved in!"

Seeing this, Zhong Min couldn't help but snort inwardly, thinking, "What's the big deal if you don't want to talk about it?" After combing her hair twice, she put the comb down and asked in a routine manner, "Can I get undressed now?"

Seeing that Xiao Mingzheng didn't say anything else, Zhong Min began to unbutton his clothes and undress him. This time she was very skillful and in a few seconds she stripped off his outer robe and hung it on the screen beside him. Then she stepped forward and took off his outer trousers and hung them up. The whole action was done in one go without any awkwardness or inappropriateness.

"Alright!" She clapped her hands and looked at Xiao Mingzheng, who was only left with his inner layer of clothing, with an air of accomplishment: "Your Highness can rest now. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Wait!" Xiao Mingzheng called out again, stopping Zhong Min as she turned and tried to leave. He suddenly felt something strange and inexplicable. He felt that Zhong Min had been so calm while undressing him. It was the first time for a grown woman to undress a man, yet she didn't even seem to show any sign of abnormality. It was more normal than taking off her own clothes.

When Zhong Min heard that there was something else, he turned around and asked in confusion, "What else do you want, Your Majesty?"

No way, haven't I already taken off all my clothes? Zhong Min's mind was full of wild thoughts. If she took off any more, she would be completely naked. Could it be that Xiao Mingzheng also had the habit of sleeping naked? Although the weather had warmed up a bit, it was still quite cold. Besides, she had no interest in looking at naked men right now...

"There will definitely be someone who will take the opportunity to assassinate you when you go to Lin County the day after tomorrow. This is also your first long-distance trip abroad. I want to know your plans in advance." Xiao Mingzheng thought about it, but still did not raise the doubt in his mind. Instead, he talked about the trip to Lin County two days later.

He knew in his heart that some things could not be learned by just asking. Zhong Min must be hiding some special secrets. He believed that as long as he observed carefully, he would eventually find clues.

After hearing Xiao Mingzheng's question, Zhong Min finally dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry. I have ordered people to gather intelligence. If nothing unexpected happens, I will discuss the itinerary protection plan with General Luo and Commander Xie tomorrow and present it to Your Highness for review. Once it is finalized, we will send people to make arrangements and fully implement protection before departure. I will definitely ensure Your Highness's safety."

After hearing this, Xiao Mingzheng didn't say anything else. He nodded and signaled Zhong Mingke to leave first.

Zhong Min currently lived in a small room in the courtyard of Xiao Mingzheng's bedroom. After all, as a personal maid, her accommodations naturally needed to be convenient. The conditions here were much better than those in Mo Yuan's residence. On the day she moved in, she re-installed the small room with the same small traps as before to ensure her own safety.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Zhong Min was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. He turned over and got up to see that the lights in the yard were gradually becoming brighter. I don’t know what had happened.
