Zhao Zhigang's face was full of anger, and his fists clenched loudly.
He has long coveted Liu Shaolan, the daughter of Liu Qianxiong, the lord of Doroduo City, and begged his father several times to find opportunities to arrange for him to get close to Liu Shaolan.
This dance was originally a good opportunity for him to get close to Liu Shaolan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao would not allow him to participate!
This is so abominable!
Zhao Zhigang almost hates Lin Xiao now and wants to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives and smash his bones into ashes!
Zhao Youwei sighed and said: "Who told you to make that mistake? And it is true that you had an affair with those shady women. Lin Xiao is right, it is useless even if you go to the dance, and if
If someone tells Liu Qianxiong and Liu Shaolan about you, you will be looked down upon by others. So let’s forget it this time, stay in the military camp and don’t go anywhere."
"But--"
Zhao Zhigang still wanted to argue for himself, but Zhao Youwei angrily yelled: "Not that much!"

Seeing his father getting angry, Zhao Zhigang had no choice but to shut his mouth bitterly.
...
...
The dance will come soon.
As night falls, the Dorodo City Lord's Mansion is brightly lit.
The bright hall was full of lively atmosphere, and the well-dressed guests were holding red wine and chatting. It was obvious at a glance that all the people attending the dance were the upper class of Dorado City.
At this moment, the city lord Liu Qianxiong was holding the hand of his daughter Liu Shaolan and socializing among the guests.
Liu Qianxiong is nearly fifty years old. His square and square face makes him look very majestic, and his expression is always serious.
Only when he looks at his daughter, he smiles.
Lin Xiao did not step forward immediately. He stood quietly in the corner, holding red wine in his hand and drinking slowly.
The bright red wine is like blood, and there is a faint spicy feeling in your mouth when you drink it.
"You won't get drunk no matter how much you drink this kind of wine, so can it still be considered wine?"
Lin Xiao said calmly.
Zhou Guangzhong and Li Dong, who were standing nearby, didn't say much. Although they were subdued by Lin Xiao now, they would not flatter him anytime and anywhere.
On the contrary, Zhao Youwei nodded and said: "Indeed, we Longguo people should drink white wine. This red wine is no different from a drink."
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came.
Lin Xiao turned around and immediately saw Liu Qianxiong, the lord of Dorodo City, walking over with his daughter Liu Shaolan.
And other guests also came with them.
Before he even arrived, Liu Qianxiong greeted Lin Xiao warmly.
"You are Lin Xiao, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the city defense army, right? You are really young and promising! Thank you, Commander Lin, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's birthday party. Your arrival has made my place brighter."
Lin Xiao stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Qianxiong.
"I just want to thank you, Lord Liu City. Your support to our Dorodo City Defense Force over the years has been tremendous, and your contribution to the Dragon Kingdom is also extraordinary. I thank you on behalf of all the soldiers."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he drank the red wine in his hand.
Dorodo City Lord Liu Qianxiong laughed loudly, also drank up the red wine in his hand, put down the goblet and said: "Commander Lin, you are too polite, my small contribution, what is it? What's more?
I support your city defense force, and I also hope that you can defend Dorodo and protect us unarmed residents."
After a few more polite words, Liu Qianxiong introduced his daughter Liu Shaolan to Lin Xiao.
"Conductor Lin, she is my daughter Liu Shaolan. Today's dance is also held to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. How about you, do you want to dance with my daughter?"
Hearing this, the surrounding guests' expressions froze.
Does Liu Qianxiong want to introduce his daughter to Lin Xiao so that she can marry the city defense army?
Lin Xiao is now the commander-in-chief of the Dorodo City Defense Army, the highest leader. He alone can represent the entire Dorodo City Defense Army.
If Liu Qianxiong's daughter Liu Shaolan really marries him, then a closer alliance can be established between the city defense army and Dorado City!
This is definitely a great thing for Dorado.
But many of the guests who came to the ball were young people, and they all had fantasies about Liu Shaolan.
Therefore, when they saw Liu Qianxiong actually introducing his daughter to Lin Xiao, they all looked regretful.
Lin Xiao's identity and status were far beyond their comparison.
Therefore, they can only watch the woman they like being sent into the arms of another man.
More importantly, as the person involved, Liu Shaolan seemed to be somewhat interested in Lin Xiao. At this moment, she was staring at him curiously with her eyes wide open.
But no one expected that Lin Xiao would refuse in front of everyone!
"I'm really sorry. I came from a military background. I'm a rough guy and can't dance."
Suddenly, the huge ball hall became silent.
Liu Qianxiong's face looked slightly embarrassed, and Liu Shaolan's expression also became very complicated.
All the guests were frightened and felt that something was wrong. Zhou Guangzhong, Li Dong and Zhao Youwei also had a bad premonition in their hearts.
But Lin Xiao went on to say: "And I'm already married. Let's forget about dancing. If my wife hears that I dance with a young and beautiful girl like your daughter, she will be jealous."
Of course Lin Xiao is not married, he just said this to give both parties a step down.
Sure enough, after listening to Lin Xiao's explanation, Liu Qianxiong burst into laughter.
"It turns out that Commander Lin is already married. Haha, this is really unexpected... My daughter seems to be very interested in you. It seems that she will be disappointed now."
"Dad, stop talking nonsense."
Liu Shaolan's cheeks were slightly red, and she pulled Liu Qianxiong's sleeve hard.
The guests present also laughed, and the atmosphere in the ball hall also relaxed.
Lin Xiao looked back at Zhou Guangzhong and Li Dong, and said to them: "Aren't you married yet? Miss Liu is such a beautiful woman, wouldn't you be tempted when you see her? Why don't you come and invite Miss Liu to dance?"
Zhou Guangzhong and Li Dong knew that Lin Xiao was letting them support the scene and build relationships, so they stepped forward to invite Liu Shaolan to dance.
Liu Shaolan did not refuse and agreed to them with a smile.
While admiring his daughter dancing with the guests one after another, Liu Qianxiong said: "Commander Lin, you have just assumed the position of commander-in-chief, do you have any ideas?"
"idea?"
Lin Xiao looked at Liu Qianxiong with a smile.
Liu Qianxiong immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else... Isn't that a good saying? There are three things that will happen when a new officer takes office, so I want to ask Commander Lin if you have any plans.
"
Lin Xiao immediately shook his head: "Everything remains the same, no changes will be made."
Hearing this, Liu Qianxiong breathed a sigh of relief.
