Yan Xiaye was dumbfounded for a moment, looked sideways at Li Yuntang, and immediately understood the real reason for Duke Geoffrey's denial.

Murder of nobles was the second most serious crime after treason.

This is equal to everyone, even for the nobles themselves.

In other words, Duke Geoffrey does not believe in the brotherhood of his two sons.

But if what Yan Xiaye said was true, he had already lost one son, and he really couldn't lose another because of the crime of murdering a nobleman.

So far, the scene has reached a deadlock.

The bodyguard who was forced to step forward stood in front of Li Yuntang Qiqi Aiai, and even though Duke Jeffrey gave several orders in a row, he still did not take the next step.

"asshole!"

Duke Jeffrey cursed in a low voice, and stepped forward to snatch the weapon from the bodyguard's waist.

Li Yuntang looked at this scene with a half-smile, his hand crossbow had no second short arrow, and he did not budge to protect Yan Xiaye behind him, his calm and calm attitude was absolutely extraordinary.

Coupled with the fact that there are only a handful of people who are eligible to be guests in this annex, the bodyguard held down the holster around his waist with a smile on his face, and refused to let Duke Jeffrey get his way easily.

The housekeeper hurried to the scene, looked in shock at Adam, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and then at Li Yuntang, who was unusually calm, and Mrs. Li, who was pale. His eyes paused for a moment on the scar on her neck.

After roughly guessing the cause and effect, the butler cleared his throat, "Master Duke, please wait a moment, my master is currently in the armory on the third basement floor, and needs a little time to come over."

"Wait a minute?" Duke Geoffrey stared at Li Yuntang bitterly, and grabbed the holster around the bodyguard's waist with his fingers, "This man hurt my Adam, and everyone is a witness. He pleaded guilty to the law!"

"Please stop immediately!"

The butler broke out in a few drops of cold sweat, and signaled the bodyguards to surround Duke Jeffrey, "Within the scope of this annex, any act of holding a weapon privately will be regarded as a provocation to the master, a potential dangerous element It will be ruled out as soon as possible."

At the same time as his words fell, more than a dozen bodyguards pressed down the weapons in the holster, their eyes locked on Duke Jeffrey, and the danger was imminent.

Replacing Li Yuntang as the focus of the audience, Duke Jeffrey gritted his teeth and let go unwillingly: "You guys dare to threaten me, don't forget your identities!"

The butler and the others didn't change their faces, and there was silence for three to five minutes.

Afterwards, the maid arrived in time with the family doctor and helped Adam do a simple hemostasis.

"Doctor, how is Adam?" Duke Jeffrey didn't dare to look at the blood on his son, and said anxiously, "Tell me quickly!"

After the preliminary examination, the doctor shook his head with a livid face: "Master Adam lost serious blood and needs blood transfusion. Fortunately, there are blood bags in reserve here. We need to take him to the infirmary immediately."

As they said that, several doctors directed the bodyguards to lift up the stretcher and hurriedly carried away Adam who was in a deep coma.

Seeing this, Li Yuntang's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender fingers clasped the mechanism of the hand crossbow.

This is the case with such cold weapons. Even after several improvements to increase the lethality, they are still not as convenient and quick as hot weapons.

"Li Yuntang." Looking down at the man's inadvertent movements, Yan Xiaye quietly held the back of his hand, "It's okay, I believe Adam will get a fair sentence."

Her fingertips fell gently on his skin, carrying a warm body temperature.

Li Yuntang's heart softened, and he casually threw the valuable hand crossbow on the ground, raised his hand to embrace her, and asked in a low voice: "Xia Ye, did you scare you?"

Yan Xiaye raised his eyes to look into the man's still angry eyes, and shook his head lightly and quickly.

Knowing that everything the man did was for her, even though Li Yuntang just now was really terrifying, in her opinion, it was the most touching scene in the world.

It is worth keeping in memory and cherishing it well.

Seeing her cute appearance, the hostility in Li Yuntang's eyebrows gradually disappeared, and the corners of his lips curled up handsomely, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he held Yan Xiaye's little hand back, and grandly prepared to take her away.

This attitude angered Duke Jeffrey again. He stood in front of the two of them without even thinking about it, and sarcastically said in elegant words: "I can't think of the relationship between the two of you. In this way, why is my Adam being attacked? Is it obvious?"

Yan Xiaye suffocated for breath.

Although the ambiguous relationship between her and Adam did not exist from the beginning to the end, it was just an expedient measure to save her life.

However, she still didn't want Li Yuntang to know.

It wasn't that Li Yuntang might misunderstand her and Adam, but that he didn't want to describe his predicament as much as possible.

Because Li Yuntang has already felt quite guilty and blamed herself, which made her feel very distressed.

"What do you want to say?" Li Yuntang looked indifferently at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, "Either say it or get out."

Duke Geoffrey has never experienced such a great humiliation in his life, let alone in front of an unknown foreign youth!

He raised the corners of his lips twitching, and pointed his index finger with a ruby ​​ring to Yan Xiaye, "This is this woman. I met her a few days ago, because Adam planned to marry her."

Speaking of this, except for Li Yuntang who can remain calm, the other servants and bodyguards looked at each other in blank dismay, and quietly made up a story that the courtesan lady and the two young people had to tell.

As for why Li Yuntang suddenly lashed out at Adam, it might be because he happened to see Yan Xiaye and Adam's ambiguous behavior, and he was burning with anger...

"Li Yuntang, listen to my explanation."

Yan Xiaye frowned slightly, his black and white pupils were stained with worry and hesitation.

She didn't want Li Yuntang to feel more guilty, but looking at it now, it seemed that she couldn't help it.

Looking up at the man's secretive side face, Yan Xia Ye was a little worried whether the man would listen to her.

After all, according to the routines in idol dramas, at this time, the male protagonist will leave the female protagonist with a cold face, without giving the other party a chance to explain.

Fortunately, this is not a crappy idol drama.

Li Yuntang glanced at Duke Jeffrey casually, and his eyes fell on Yan Xiaye lovingly, and said indulgently and dotingly: "If you don't want to say something, no one can force you."

Yan Xiaye pursed her crimson lips, and said slowly in front of everyone: "That night, Adam led four or five young people into the restaurant, took me away with forceful methods, and seriously injured me on the spot. my friend."

Hearing this, Duke Jeffrey's face changed slightly.

Such arrogant and domineering behavior was indeed done by that boy Adam.
