Chapter 367: Visitors to the Manor (5)

Not too far from the makeshift office, two guards were holding Campbell's arm from the left and right, and two more guards were smiling as they lifted the table full of food.

"Don't get out of the way," said one of the guards with a grin, "Master Cork is awake and needs something to eat and sober up, why are you so ignorant?"

"Don't think you're great," the other guard looked disdainful, "Lord Cork's father is a marquis, and compared to him, such a poor and shabby little local lord is nothing, let alone you, the chief steward?"

"What nonsense to talk to him!" The tall guard carrying the table said coldly, "This is not enough for adults to eat, hurry up and let him make more!"

"Yes," the last man chimed in, "but the adults still appreciate your craft, otherwise you kid will follow Master Cork in the future, and you will definitely be much better than you staying here." ”

Jeff's face was very ugly, he was just the strength of a first-order adventurer, and he was held by two guards who were obviously around the third order, and he couldn't even move, so how could he go up and stop these people? But he still stiffened his neck, blushed and said, "I'll say it again! The lord has returned! This is the breakfast I prepared for him, don't go too far!"

With a "snap", the guard who had been full of disdain slowly withdrew his palm, and a clear red mark appeared on the face of Chief Campbell.

"Shameless ......" the guard's tone became cold, "Don't say if you're playing tricks on us, even if he comes back?"

"It's not like we haven't seen Leon, and you probably don't know it yet," said the other guard, still smiling, "He used to have to be respectful to Lord Cork, don't think that his status will be different after becoming an earl lord." ”

This immediately sparked a burst of laughter from several of the other guards.

"Lord Cork is the future Marquis, it is simply an honor for him to come to such a remote place for the succession of Leon to the realm, you dare to ......"

With that, a woman's voice came.

"What's the matter with you? Master Cork is already in a hurry!"

When the guards heard the sound, several people came from near the hut not far away, and it was one of the ladies who spoke.

"Miss Bobby," said one of the guards with a quick grin, "this steward of yours has some disagreement with us about giving us breakfast to Master Cork, so we are enlightening him. ”

Poppy looks not very old, estimated to be about twenty years old, and looks like a beauty, but her face looks a little haggard, and her eyes are vain, and the bags under her eyes are slightly swollen.

Poppy glanced at Jeff, his face even more displeased, and said coldly, "What are you doing with him, hurry up and send breakfast to Master Cork, as for this dutiful steward...... Of course, I will discipline him strictly in the future. ”

"Li Ang is such a casual person, especially soft-hearted, so he is used to making his subordinates look like they don't have rules!"

At this, Bobby covered her mouth and laughed quite forgetfully, and even the two obvious hemispheres on her chest rose and fell with her movements.

This appearance immediately attracted the attention of most people, and a man in black beside her said with a squint: "Bobby, your figure is getting better and better, and it will be cheaper for Leon in the future!"

"It's not that I haven't cheapened you......" Bobby was not afraid of these people's eyes at all, and when he heard the man's words, he straightened his body and said in an obviously provocative tone, "You men, just eat the bowl and look at the pot, I haven't seen you praise my figure a few more times before, why did your mouth become so sweet when I saw that I was going to get married?"

There was another burst of laughter, in which Poppy laughed the hardest, and it literally became the center of attention, and even a few of the guards were in it.

"Okay, who doesn't know what kind of person you Miss Bobby is, this kid Leon will ......suffer from it in the future," a tall thin man who was traveling with him shook his head with a smile and said, "But put this aside in advance, let's hurry up and send the breakfast over, Cork can't wait, it's us who are uncomfortable!"

After his reminder, the guards who were watching the excitement immediately reacted, and the two of them picked up the table and were about to follow them away.

At this moment, another person's voice came.

"Let him go. ”

The voice sounded young, but the tone was low, and the speed of his speech was not slow, indicating that the man was confident in the effectiveness of his words.

The guards stopped, and the little nobles stopped laughing, and they all turned their eyes to see a dozen men coming out of the corner of the hut.

The leader is a young man, although his appearance is ordinary, but his eyes are unusually bright, and even the whole person exudes a different temperament.

"Leon?" Poppy was the first to call out the young man's name.

"It's me, Miss Bobby, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're still in style," the young man glanced at her.

I don't know why, the seemingly casual eyes of the young man made Bobby's heart tremble inexplicably, this woman who has "read countless people" sensitively found that Li Ang had changed, because she had never seen such a look in Li Ang's eyes, and it felt extremely strange.

The young man's gaze swept over everyone's faces, lingering on the two guards who had trapped Jeff for the longest time. Then his gaze fell on the palm print on Jeff's cheek, and finally met the middle-aged manager's eyes, and saw the pleading expression of the other party.

Leon knew that as Campbell's manager, Jeff's plea was not to hope that he would save him immediately, but to beg him to bear with it.

The young lord smiled at Jeff, signaling to reassure him, and then said, "One last time, you two, let my chief go. ”

Although the two guards giggled when they didn't see Li Ang, they seemed to be very disrespectful to him, but when Li Ang appeared, they obviously still had some minds, after all, the other party was now a serious field earl, especially the people who could support them were not at the scene, so the two of them glanced at each other and slowly let go of their hands. However, one of them was still a little resentful, and gave Jeff a push, and Jeff immediately stumbled and almost fell to his knees.

"Red," Leon said with a blank expression.

The big man stepped out of the crowd, took a few steps over, grabbed Jeff's arm, and walked back with him.

"We were as close as brothers at the beginning, but now we stand in front of you and don't even say hello," the man in black suddenly said: "This person is different when he changes his identity...... Isn't that right, Count Leon?"

The last four words were pronounced with great weight and mockery, but Leon looked back as if he hadn't heard them, and looked carefully at the palm prints on Jeff's face.

After a long time, the young lord said slowly: "Viscount Clive, you used me to carry the black pot for you back then, and now you dare to tell me that you are as close as a brother? ”

Then he ignored Clive's angry gaze, but looked up at the two guards, and said very seriously, "May I ask who left this palm print on Chief Campbell's face?"
