Chapter 403: My Own People
Duncan's reminiscence description not only explained his purpose to those present, but also gave Leon a more complete understanding of the old man he remembered with a straight face and no smile.
In fact, even in Leon's original memory, he didn't have much impression of his grandfather's past, the main reason was that Darren never mentioned anything about him in the army at home, and there were hardly many people who came to visit him in normal times, so it can be said that the only part of Leon knew was indirectly from these people when he mixed with other nobles of the same age.
However, during this time, the small talk between Leon and the veteran Jack, some of the information that Luthor sometimes revealed, and Duncan's description today, the image of Darren seemed to be clearer in his mind.
To be honest, it is rare for a person to uphold the word "justice" throughout his life, although this kind of character can make friends with the same quality, but it is easy to offend more people. Leon had heard that his grandfather had encountered several difficulties in the army, but he had never changed his personality even when he was knocked to the ground. And when he got back on his feet, he was never complacent, and he didn't bother to hit his opponents, and his words and deeds were the same as before.
Darren's opponents will dislike him, but they can't say anything about his character, his friends respect him, but they are also a little helpless about his attitude of ignoring the identity and status of his opponents.
For such a grandfather, with Leon's current understanding, he also felt that if Darren's methods were softer and more evasive, maybe this old man would go farther and stand taller, and he might not have been assassinated in his sixties just after his prime.
Thinking of this, Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then he began to self-examine.
Many of Leon's concepts originated from the materialistic society in his previous life, so the "deep-rooted" idea just now popped up in his mind for the first time, but when he realized this, he suddenly felt that this kind of character of his grandfather should be what a soldier should have, right?
At this moment, Leon was a little ashamed of his habitual thoughts, and he secretly thought in his heart: "I have different concepts from my grandfather, and I can't follow his approach at all, but the problems he left behind can be handled more beautifully, right?"
"I can make these people understand that while my grandfather can ignore their dirty practices, I am a very cautious person if anyone wants to target me...... I will target him forever until he is no longer a threat to me. ”
"Leon, I can't stay for the time being," Duncan, who had just sat down, drew the young man's attention.
"I've been sent to be Earl Don's bodyguard this time, so I still have to escort them back, and if this errand is not completed, it will have an impact on my friends in the royal capital, you know, I don't have many friends in the first place, and even fewer who can be met after such a long time and are willing to help. ”
Li Ang said: "I understand very much, you go, I'm not in a hurry." ”
"That's good. ”
Duncan slice open a chop and put it in his mouth with a fork, and then he sighed, as if to sigh at the taste of the food.
"I've never eaten such delicious food in my years of wandering in the Northlands, let alone those years......," Duncan wiped his mouth and said to Leon, "By the way, can you give me an advance on some of the payment......?"
"No problem," Leon interrupted the other party's explanation with a smile, and he pulled out a money bag and tossed it casually.
Duncan caught it, he looked at the delicate pattern on the money bag, and whistled.
"Leon, I didn't expect you to be so generous," Duncan said with a grin, "This is left by those boys, right? There are a lot of gold coins in it, aren't you afraid that I lied to you, and then took the money and disappeared?"
"What's so scary about this?" Li Ang smiled indifferently and said, "As long as it is someone I trust, I will definitely not doubt him." ”
"That's good," Duncan nodded, "but isn't there a sentence left behind?"
"I don't think there's any need to finish what I've said to you," Leon replied.
"Understood," Duncan said solemnly, putting away his money bag, "I will not fail your trust." ”
At the same time, Duncan was very impressed by Leon's means of being able to win people's hearts by such an understatement, in fact, since he met Leon, the young man's various expressions surprised him a little.
His original intention was to come back to avenge Darren's family, but later found that Leon had escaped, and for a time he was really glad for the old earl's only descendant. Moreover, Duncan thought that Leon would definitely be in an embarrassing situation after this experience, and maybe his life would be in danger, so he was ready to fulfill his promise to help the young man through the difficult time first.
However, Duncan unexpectedly found that Li Ang's reputation was extremely bad in the royal capital, although for a person of Duncan's character, how Li Ang would not have much impact on his decision, but after all, he would have some mustard in his heart, so he joined Tang En's team, and he wanted to take this opportunity to take a look first, and then make the next decision.
Unexpectedly, Li Ang not only has a completely different reputation from the nobles of the royal capital, but on the contrary, he is quite skillful and scheming, and even these men and women around him are very unusual, Duncan can't help but become interested in this young man.
The most important point is that Leon is not as upright and strict as Lord Darren, and his personality is very Duncan's temper, so he has more intimacy at first sight, and he must get along very easily in the future, and it is estimated that he will be very comfortable.
Duncan thought for a moment and said, "Leon, is there anything you need to do in the royal capital, I can do it for you this time,"
"Of course," said Leon, who did have some things to do for his own men than he had just entrusted to Count Donne.
And now it seems that Duncan is one of his own.
