My Endless Life.

Chapter 38 Miss Spy
The folded fan blocked the seat where I was about to sit.

Looking at the slender arm, Amy smiled and put her hand on it, then gently pushed it away:

"Don't be like that, you know I don't like chatting with them."

"not my business."

Li Qi's attitude was cold.

In fact, Li Qi didn't have much aversion to Amy. If he hadn't seen what he saw yesterday, Li Qi wouldn't have said anything to Amy today.

But it was precisely because of the unreasonable communication method he saw yesterday that Li Qi became wary of Amy.

This person's identity might not be as simple as Li Qi imagined. There would only be trouble if he got involved with such a person.

Li Qi is now considered a half-fugitive and he doesn't want to get into trouble.

And Amy's behavior yesterday was a little frivolous even for a girl.

It was perfectly reasonable for Li Qi to refuse the frivolous girl sitting in front of him as a 'noble lady'.

The arm struggled with the opponent's hand.

However, Amy was a little stronger, and Li Qi didn't dare to expose his strength, so he could only raise the closed fan and hit Amy's arm rudely.

"Ms. Amy, please don't make things difficult for me." Li Qi warned solemnly.

The smile on Amy's face faded a little, and her eyes were full of amusement when she looked at Li Qi.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Qi saw interest in him in her eyes, which made his heart sink slightly.

I guess it was my "unique" behavior that made her pay more attention to me.

Damn, where did this pervert come from?

Resisting the urge to expose his strength and beat this guy up, Li Qi took the fan and was about to leave.

Since Amy wants this place, give it to her, and Li Qi can sit somewhere else.

But just as he thought this, the door of the carriage on the other side of the noble carriage was opened.

Two train guards and a standing police sergeant came in.

Because the train system now belongs to the military, and the sheriff on the train is also a serving military officer, Li Qi can easily find the shoulder straps representing sergeant on his shoulders.

Seeing the sergeant, everyone in the noble carriage turned their eyes to him, including Li Qi and Amy at the rear of the car.

But Amy didn't pay too much attention to the car door.

Seeing that Li Qi's attention was attracted, she took the opportunity to sit opposite Li Qi with a slightly smug smile on her face.

But the smile on her face did not last long. The guard's words made the smile disappear completely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you. We just received a call from the capital that a spy who stole our country's confidential documents has sneaked into the car, so please allow us to check your carry-on luggage."

The elderly chief guard spoke seriously.

Behind him, two guards, a man and a woman, came out and performed aristocratic etiquette to the noble members present.

It seems that not only will the carry-on luggage be checked, but everyone may also be subject to close inspection.

Li Qi's brows also wrinkled slightly under his gauze hat.

Checking carry-on luggage is not a big deal, but if it’s a close-up inspection...it’s inevitable that something will be exposed.

But Li Qi was not too worried.

At worst, I can use magic to camouflage it. Besides, the nobles here probably won't let the captain of the guard come over to check so easily.

Sure enough, just as the chief of guards finished speaking, a young man with a beard on his chin stood up and said dissatisfiedly:

"You said there were spies, so there are spies? You said there are inspections, so there are inspections? Do you know who I am? Do you know who we are? We are aristocrats! You pariah!"

The young man pointed at the chief guard and said dissatisfiedly.

The fact that he was only a sergeant at this age and still working in the train guard, which didn't offer much money, was enough to prove that he was not a noble.

No noble would like to do this kind of work, serving people on a train.

Someone without a noble title wants to check on the gentlemen in the noble train?
Who gave him the courage!

The young man’s words were rather… harsh, but the guard chief’s expression didn’t change at all.

As a commoner without a title, he was used to being ordered around by the nobles on the train. In the past, he would probably just smile and leave the noble carriage.

But not this time.

The superiors have issued an order that the lost confidential documents must be found before the train arrives at the next station.

For this, it doesn't matter even if it offends these nobles.

Therefore, the chief guard did not retreat at all. He spoke respectfully, with an attitude that was impeccable. He said:
"Sir, I'm sorry. No matter who you are today, we have to check your luggage. After all, this is an order from the Marshal himself."

"marshal?"

Upon hearing this name, the young man's face changed, and then he fell silent and stopped talking.

Li Qi noticed this and thought about it.

He is probably the only one who can be called marshal in the entire Principality of Uno.

The current highest-ranking general in the military, Remus Arriaeus.

Li Qi knew him, but had never met him. After all, with Li Qi's status and position, he was not qualified to meet the marshal.

Even Major General Li Qi couldn't see it.

Borrent, as well as the dean of the military academy, were the highest-ranking officers Reacher had ever met.

Remus's prestige in Uno is needless to say. He is a noble marquis and the supreme commander of the military. No one in the country dares to ignore his words.

Even though the captain of the guard was only conveying orders, no noble present dared to disobey.

After all, most of the nobles here are children of viscounts and barons, and there is not even a single earl.

However, although no one dared to disobey the marshal's orders, they dared to express their opinions.

Among the nobles who did not want the commoners to have access to their belongings, someone raised a question:

"You just said that the spy came from the capital? If that's the case, then why do you think the spy is in the car?"

The train had previously passed a stop, and if the spy had escaped from the royal capital, it was unlikely that he was still on the train.

Even if he was really on the train, it was not certain whether he had any confidential documents stolen from the royal capital.

It seems unnecessary to investigate these nobles.

The Chief of Guard responded:
"We have already investigated and controlled the passengers who got off at the stop. Now only you gentlemen and ladies have not been checked... So please don't make it difficult for us."

The chief guard apologized again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men he brought with him also began to act.

Starting from the door, they checked the nobles' luggage and bodies.

Looking at the way they checked, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the guards' inspection was detailed, it was only for the luggage they carried with them. When checking the nobles' bodies, they only symbolically checked places such as pockets.

No private areas were touched.

Therefore, Li Qi doesn't have to worry about being exposed.

But...Miss Amy next to her might be different.

Li Qi secretly looked at Amy beside him.

On the surface, Ms. Amy looked normal with a smile on her face.

But in fact, her heartbeat had begun to accelerate, her blood was flowing rapidly, and the temperature of her legs was rising.

This is a sign of nervousness.

Okay, now the spy has jumped out on his own, so what should we do now?

In fact, according to Li Qi's current feelings towards this spy lady, what he should do is to report her without making any noise.

But after all, Li Qi is very close to her now. If he wants to report her, he also has to care about the reaction of this spy lady.
