Chapter 378: Visitors to the Manor (16)
Leon was a little surprised.
He thought that it would take a lot of effort to obtain the canonization of the succession title, after all, his grandfather had a grudge with some nobles in the royal capital, and he himself offended the Minister of the Interior, if these people wanted to get in the way, even if the laws of the kingdom could not prevent Li Ang from succeeding him, it was not difficult to delay the canonization of Wen Jiàn for a while.
So he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Another point, Li Ang knew that the procedure for succession to the title was generally to recall the successor to the royal capital in advance, and then hold a ceremony, at which His Majesty the King personally handed over the canonization document to the successor, but this time he was sent by a special envoy, could it be said that there was other meaning in this?
The young Earl Campbell's mind had turned several times in a short period of time, and although he still couldn't figure it out, it was a good thing, and it was worth rejoicing.
"It turned out that the distinguished guests who came all the way from the royal capital were disrespectful and disrespectful," Li Ang changed his smile on, "Quickly find a few chairs for the distinguished guests, and when I am done, I will come to entertain you well!"
Count Tang En bowed slightly, "Official affairs can also have personal friendship, since Count Li Ang has this intention, then there is labor." ”
"But I think it's better to think a little bit about Count Levine's face, put Cork down first, and then let everyone disperse, so that we won't be too restrained in talking. ”
I have to say that as an old nobleman, Earl Don made Leon feel very comfortable both in etiquette and speech, especially when he was smart in not directly asking about the causes and consequences of the conflict between Leon and Cork, but gently persuaded Leon and gave Leon a very smooth step.
Leon blinked, ready to walk down the steps given by the old earl. Anyway, Cork slapped him three times in public, and until now, his face is still dark blue and blood red, and even the blood vomited half a liter, and in the end, he was grabbed by Leang's neck and almost pinched to death, such a shame should be remembered for a lifetime for the descendants of a marquis.
"Why not?" said Leon, "but Campbell is in ruins, and the manor is very simple, and if there is anything that cannot be greeted, please tell Earl Don to speak up." ”
Tang En was very satisfied with Li Ang's attitude, and before he could speak, the face of the lady standing behind him darkened, "I am Viscount Pegue, the second secretary of the royal family, Count Li Ang, didn't you hear Count Tang En clearly?"
"Put Cork down, as a land lord, what kind of body do you look like this!"
Leon was about to let go of his hand, but when he heard this, he grabbed it tighter, and Cork twisted his body again, looking quite painful.
"Viscount Peg?" Li Ang smacked his lips, "Tsk, why is it that he is also a distinguished guest from the same king's capital, but Su zhì is so far behind?"
"Since you have this attitude...... Count Donn, I beg your pardon for not letting go of Master Cork. ”
Leon coughed, ignoring the young nobleman who was struggling in his hands, and said loudly: "This Lord Cork not only connived at his guards to beat Campbell's patrol captain and slap Campbell's chief, but also used foul language against Campbell's wife in public......"
"There's something even more terrible! Just now he said in front of everyone that he was going to kill me, and if I let him go, it would be too unjust for Lord Campbell to be killed in his own territory by an arrogant nobleman!"
"I'm scared to death!"
Li Ang, who was "afraid of death", smiled shamelessly, "Besides, I really can't afford to lose this face...... Viscount Peg, do you think that's the truth?"
"It's just wonderful!" As soon as Leon's voice fell, a sentence suddenly came from not far away, as if admiring the young man's expression.
Most people's eyes "brushed" away, and there was a dining table in that place, and it was this table that caused everything that happened today.
Duncan didn't know when he ran over, and was sitting at the edge of the table, eating with a knife and fork in hand, and expressing his feelings.
"Delicious! It's delicious! If it weren't for the temperature being a little cold, it would taste even better!" Duncan looked happy and repeated his exclamation, "It's really wonderful!"
He ate intently, and didn't seem to know that the timing of what he had just said was inappropriate, so he was already in the limelight.
Everyone's expressions were strange, and even Leon became interested in this middle-aged man, because judging from Duncan's appearance, he didn't really belong to Don and Peg's side, and if you dig deeper, you can vaguely find that he has a good impression of Leon's side.
Of course, not everyone noticed what Duncan said "unintentionally", and Peg was one of them, because she was getting a little stupid right now.
In fact, Peg and Coke's father had a relationship, and they moved around a lot. The Marquis would often give her some seemingly simple, but actually expensive "small" gifts in various names, and she would "inadvertently" tell the Marquis about some "rumors" within the royal family, and the two of them took what they needed, and the relationship was tacit.
That's why she is so interested in Cork and wants Leon to put it down.
Although I don't know why the two of them had such a big conflict, if she can show an appropriate attitude in it, and even play a key role, I believe that Marquis Levin will also show her something after she returns.
The Marquis de Levine has always been known for his generosity, and as a clerk who has nothing to say, he still has a lot of expectations for this.
But when Peg listened to Leon's words, her face changed, and she looked at Cork with a look that looked like a nervous disorder.
Yes, because in Peg's mind, only a psychotic or a madman would behave so unwisely in a lord's land.
In the past, she had heard rumors about Cork's arrogance, and she didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just a false rumor about some outrageous behavior of young people, but today she subverted her thoughts - Peg did not doubt Leon's words, of course she would not be a stupid person to be the secretary of the royal family, as long as she saw that after Leon finished speaking, the young nobles, guards, and garrison officers who had been following Cork did not express any objections, and knew that this qiē was true.
"It's so arrogant!" Peg defined Cork in his heart, but no matter how arrogant he was, for the sake of Marquis Levine's "face", Corke's affairs still had to be helped.
Just as Peg restrained her attitude, and considered her words, and wanted to say some soft words to intercede for Cork, Earl Donn smacked his cane on the ground, and said angrily: "It's so disgusting! This kid is so lawless! If I had to break his leg with the Marquis de Levine, he would never be able to go out and mess around again in his life!"
"Count Leon, please rest assured, when I return to the royal capital, I must tell Marquis Levin about the matter of Cork! I believe that Lord Marquis will never let him go lightly, and he will feel good in the future!"
"I'm so!"
After Earl Don finished speaking, he gasped a few times sharply, and finally let his feelings calm down a little, and then he looked at Leon's eyes sincerely, and said: "Earl Leon, I have met Earl Darren a few times, and I respect him very much, so although I am meeting you for the first time today, in my eyes it is like seeing the old earl still alive...... I'm very pleased. ”
"As for Cork...... an unfinished thing," Count Don glanced coldly at the young nobleman, and said with great disdain: "Hurry up and send him and those people away, don't let him affect my good mood, it's not worth it." ”
When he finally finished speaking, Li Ang couldn't help but praise in his heart. "There is a level, ......"
And Peg's face was still not good-looking, and a thought was also turning in her heart, "This old fellow...... Maybe he'll get more from the Marquis de Levine than I do!"
