Chapter 117: Northern Frontier Spy?

117

It was night when Ai Ying woke up. His slightly opened eyes were illuminated by the firelight and then closed again. He covered his eyelids with his hands.

As if unwilling to wake up from those deep memories.

The most familiar thing in his memories is the desert, the dry and hot wind, his living relatives and the enthusiastic girl from the Central Plains whom he met along the way.

When he woke up, he was in a damp and unfamiliar forest. He couldn't see the sky when he looked up. The water vapor between his breaths condensed in his chest, blocking his breathing and making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Er Liu, who was beside the fire, was as calm as usual. He only glanced at Ai Ying when he opened his eyes, and fiddled with the fire with one hand, waiting for him to recover.

Ai Ying took several deep breaths before getting up, silently checking her own pulse, and thanked Er Liu very solemnly.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Er Liu just looked at him in the firelight without answering, with a look of confusion and vigilance.

Ai Ying immediately remembered the other party's misunderstanding before, and was afraid that he really was a person who often took banned drugs, so he reiterated,

"The academician's old injury has relapsed. I can guarantee that he is not addicted to banned drugs."

Er Liu didn't say whether he believed it or not. After a long while, he spoke, "The foreigners in the northern border can only do business in designated areas under the management of the local chamber of commerce in the capital, Yunsu, Xilang and other cities with the business order of the court. They are not allowed to move around at will."

How did he become Li Huaiqing's bodyguard?

The Li family in the capital city is so bold as to employ people from other ethnic groups. Aren’t they afraid of being regarded as collaborators and having their entire family exterminated?

Lou Xiao is a careless person, and Er Liu, as a royal secret guard, has always been somewhat sensitive about his identity.

"Which country are you from in the Northern Border and Western Regions? Whose jurisdiction are you under? Do you have a business order?"

Er Liu still doubted his identity, fearing that he was a spy planted in the Central Plains by the northern border countries, especially regarding banned drugs.

People who are controlled have no bottom line.

Ai Ying couldn't explain it clearly now. The way he entered the Central Plains was not legitimate, and he certainly didn't have any business orders.

After many twists and turns since entering the Central Plains, before entering the capital, almost no one found any trace of a northern border person on him.

He felt that he was already close enough to the Central Plains people.

"Sorry... I can't..." Ai Ying couldn't reveal his identity. He realized that if he opened his mouth, it would cause trouble for Li Huaiqing.

What's more serious is that if he is considered a spy, it will be impossible for him to follow her.

Not to mention making her remember him.

Er Liu didn't waste any words and stood up and attacked him.

It was clearly he who saved Ai Ying's life, but as soon as he woke up, he wanted to end Ai Ying's life without any reason.

Ai Ying's symptoms were relieved, and she instinctively resisted his fighting style, but she had no intention of fighting to the death.

Still trying to find a way to explain, "Although I am a foreigner, I don't want to harm anyone! I won't do anything to hurt her! If I lie to you, you can kill me at any time!"

Er Liu was only testing the waters, and withdrew his hand half-believingly and half-doubtingly. It was self-evident who the "she" Ai Ying was talking about was.

She and the aliens... Thinking back to the only past events about Lou Xiao in his memory, he seemed to have heard that she had been traveling around with her master since she was a child.

"What is your purpose in coming to the Central Plains?"

Ai Ying laughed at herself when she heard this. What was her purpose?

At first, he just heard a young girl tell him that the Central Plains was the most peaceful, stable, prosperous and prosperous place.

He thought he could find her by coming to Central Plains, but after going through so many things and becoming disheartened and giving up everything, he saw the unattainable Duke Zhenguo standing beside the imperial power.

She lied to him and forgot about him.
