Seeing the scene before him, Luo Jiaxing couldn't help but worry about Zhong Min. He wasn't too surprised by the intense emotions of these guards. After all, these people were personally selected by Xie Feng from the army. Not only were they outstanding in martial arts, but they had also accumulated a lot of experience over the years and had made many contributions in protecting the prince.
He wasn't worried about Zhong Min's security skills and abilities, but as the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reasoning. Convincing these people wouldn't be an easy task. After all, this was a diverse group of people, and it was completely different from the situation he faced that day when he tried to convince Xie Feng and the others.
"Anyone else want to say anything?" Zhong Min finally spoke up after the criticism had died down. Her powerful voice instantly silenced the last few remaining voices, bringing peace back to the entire courtyard.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, she smiled and said, "Since that's all, I'll answer your questions now. Although it sounds like a lot of people have expressed a lot of opinions, I've summarized them into two points. The first is, with your current abilities and skills, what else do you still need to learn? The second is, as a little girl like me, regardless of whether I'm qualified or not, what can I teach you? Am I right?"
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no one answered. Seeing this, Zhong Min suddenly put away his smile and said to everyone with a heroic look, "If you are a man, answer loudly, don't be shy like a girl! Ask again, are the two points I just summarized correct?"
"Yes!" This time, everyone finally responded and answered Zhong Min loudly in unison. They seemed to be inspired by Zhong Min, and they were full of confidence and manliness.
"Very good!" Zhong Min nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "I know that you are all brave men selected by Commander Xie from the prince's army. Each of you is a hero who fights in the battlefield, with outstanding martial arts, extraordinary courage, and unwavering loyalty. But..."
At this point, she suddenly paused, her eyes sweeping over the people before her one by one. After a moment, she spoke with a powerful voice, "However, what I need now is not a skilled warrior ready to kill the enemy in battle, but a team with professional security skills, a team that can provide the strongest and most powerful security for the prince. What is the difference between the two? Does anyone know?"
She once again threw the question to this group of young but confident and outstanding talents. Before she officially revealed the answer, perhaps it would be much better to give them a hurdle and let them fall appropriately.
"What difference does it make?"
"Yes, it's probably a trick. Those who can fight are naturally the most powerful, and it's naturally best for the most powerful to protect the prince!" The people below gradually started to discuss, and obviously the answers were unanimous as expected.
Seeing this, Xiao Mingzheng on the side couldn't help but look at Zhong Min twice more. Although he could only see her back at this time and couldn't see the expression on her face at all, he seemed to have felt the unique confidence and courage on Zhong Min's face.
He had to admit that whenever she mentioned these things, this woman always seemed so confident and extraordinary. Although she did not have the gentleness of a little girl, she had a different kind of charm, as if she was born to control these men's affairs, rather than the needlework in the hands of young ladies.
"Is there really no difference?" Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhong Min waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. Then he announced in a resounding voice, "Brothers, in a moment, I will let you know the difference between the two. I will let you know what you still lack, and I will also let you know—what I can teach you!"
After that, she ignored the suspicion in everyone's eyes and whispered a few words in Xie Feng's ear. Then she turned around, took a few steps forward, and said to Xiao Mingzheng: "Your Majesty, can I borrow someone from you?"
"Who do you want to borrow from?" Xiao Mingzheng was generous this time. He didn't care what Zhong Min wanted to do. He just asked her who she wanted to borrow from, and she agreed without even thinking about it.
"Please lend me General Luo for a while." Zhong Min smiled mysteriously at Luo Jiaxing.
Seeing this, Luo Jiaxing immediately felt that Zhong Min's smile was somewhat ambiguous, so before Xiao Mingzheng could say anything, he quickly said, "Why are you borrowing me? I can't help you at all."
"General, why are you so nervous? I just asked you for a small favor, why are you refusing?" Zhong Min smiled even more mysteriously. This kid had dared to laugh at her in public just now. She might as well scare him and see if he dared to step down from her position again in the future.
Hearing Zhong Min say this, Luo Jiaxing felt even more insecure. He knew that this girl was most likely blaming him for not being able to hold back from laughing at her. But, in all honesty, he really didn't mean any harm; he just couldn't help himself. "What's the small favor? Explain it clearly first."
"It would be useless to explain it now. General, why are you so anxious?" Zhong Min said with a wicked smile, and then he said directly to Xiao Mingzheng, "If Your Highness has no objection, I will borrow it for now."
Before Luo Jiaxing could object, Xiao Mingzheng had already nodded, looking as if he was enjoying the show. Zhong Min reacted even faster. As soon as Xiao Mingzheng's head nodded, Zhong Min reached out and pulled Luo Jiaxing up. "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Zhong Min, could you please be more polite..." Luo Jiaxing was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, with a helpless look on his face: "How can you ask for help like this?"
"General Luo, please stop dawdling. So many people are watching here. You can't lose your manliness." Zhong Min warned with a smile, then took Luo Jiaxing to a corner and whispered a few serious words to him.
After hearing this, Luo Jiaxing was absolutely certain that Zhong Min was taking this opportunity to retaliate. He whispered, "Zhong Min, I know I shouldn't have laughed at you just now, but you suddenly called me brothers, and I couldn't help myself. But I promise I had absolutely no ill will. Please forgive me this time and find someone else."
"No, I'm not retaliating. Do you think I'm such a petty person?" Zhong Min said to Luo Jiaxing with a smile, "Do your best. I'm counting on Brother Luo's performance this time."
After saying that, she turned and left, returning to the front of the team, completely ignoring whether Luo Jiaxing was willing or not.
"Alright, brothers, let's do a little simulation training now. Since you all think you are experienced and capable enough to protect the prince, then when the game starts, show your best and let the prince see what you can do. Please take it seriously, otherwise you won't have to protect the prince anymore in the future."
Zhong Min loudly announced to everyone, "Now, your Commander Xie is the one you are to protect. No matter what happens, you must ensure his safety. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The neat and loud answer seemed to be demonstrating to Zhong Min, and also seemed to be showing their courage and strength to Xiao Mingzheng. In short, no matter what, Zhong Min's goal was achieved.
After the simulation training began, the dozens of guards looked very well-trained and protected Xie Feng in the middle. Just as they had formed their defense, suddenly a flying knife came from nowhere and went straight towards Xie Feng in the middle.
One of the guards was the first to react. He quickly raised his scabbard to knock away the flying knife, then keenly locked onto the northwest corner and shouted, "There's an assassin!"
The others reacted quickly, immediately finding the "assassin" Luo Jiaxing's hiding place, drawing their swords and rushing forward to capture the "assassin." And just seconds after the guards bravely rushed out in pursuit, someone suddenly leaped in from the opposite direction. Before the guards could engage the "assassin" Luo Jiaxing, a sharp sword was already at Xie Feng's neck.
"Okay, the game is over!" At this moment, Zhong Min shouted to stop everyone's actions. At this time, when those brave guards turned around, they found that the person they were supposed to protect had a sword at his neck.
For a moment, everyone looked embarrassed, and Zhong Min didn't rush to say anything, simply motioning to Xie Feng and the others to come over first. Luo Jiaxing was more conscientious this time, and without saying anything, he smiled and followed Zhong Min to her side, waiting for her to give a brief explanation and summary.
"The results are out. Is anyone willing to share your opinions?" After everyone lined up again, Zhong Min asked them with a smile on his face.
Hearing Zhong Min's words, the grown men were speechless. They knew they had indeed lost the training, and the defeat had been swift and humiliating. If it had been a real assassin, the person they were protecting would have been beheaded by now. They dared not utter a word, not even to breathe, let alone look at Prince Mu's expression.
Seeing no one speak, Zhong Min spoke in a deep voice, "Do you know why you lost so quickly? Actually, your reactions were excellent at the beginning. Your moves were very agile, knocking the flying knife away and immediately determining the assassin's location. However, your subsequent actions were completely wrong! Upon seeing the assassin, you all rushed forward like crazy, rushing to catch him, completely forgetting your mission."
"Remember, the sole purpose of security personnel is not to attack, but to protect those you are charged with protecting. No matter what emergencies you encounter, your first instinct is to gather closer to the person you are charged with protecting, using your bodies to form an impenetrable barrier. Even if the assassin rains down arrows, you must block them with your bodies and defend them to the death."
"This is the only way to prevent the assassination attempt and buy time for the other secret guards to break out. This is merely the most basic and common sense in security. There is a wealth of professional security knowledge and skills. With those professional skills, you can truly become a formidable security team and have the ability to protect the prince."
Zhong Min paused for a moment before smiling and asking everyone, "Do you know what you still need to learn, and what I can teach you?"
