"You eat, I'll smoke a cigarette slowly, it's too spicy."
Lin Xiao took out a cigarette and said.
Yuan Zheng suddenly realized that this was the reason why Lin Xiao didn't eat much.
So he said nothing more and started eating frantically.
There were a lot of people in the hotpot restaurant and the business was very prosperous, and Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng were in the lobby.
If you are in a hotel in Longguo Continent, smoking is definitely not allowed.
But now there were many people smoking in the hall, and Lin Xiao was not the only one, so Lin Xiao just followed the Romans.
After smoking a cigarette, Lin Xiao finally picked up the chopsticks and picked out a few pieces of cooked mutton and white and tender tofu from the hot pot.
"What happened before can be considered a good thing. Zhao Zhigang committed suicide, Zhao Youwei was implicated, and the influence of their father and son was completely removed from the military camp. In this way, I can be considered as having completely conquered the military morale of the entire Dorado City Defense Force.
."
Lin Xiao breathed out and said, then picked up the cold beer on the table and took a big sip into his mouth.

"Yes, Commander, you are very thoughtful."
Yuan Zheng said very excitedly.
He couldn't help but feel excited.
Because it had only been a week since Lin Xiao and he came to Duoluoduo. In such a short period of time, they had conquered the morale of the entire army, and even conquered Zhou Guangzhong and Li Dong, and also eliminated Zhao Youwei and Zhao Zhigang's father and son.
This is a great thing no matter which angle you look at it.
Yuan Zheng originally estimated that it would take at least one to two months to achieve this step.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao did it in just one week.
He had always had full confidence in Lin Xiao, but now it seemed that he still underestimated Lin Xiao's skill, strength, and resourcefulness.
The most important thing is that with the fall of Zhao Youwei and his son, the position of captain of thousands became vacant.
Yuan Zheng had never held a military position before, but now, Lin Xiao asked him to be the commander of thousands.
Therefore, Yuan Zheng is now one of the three captains of the Dorodo City Defense Army, and is in charge of thousands of city defense soldiers!
Lin Xiao also handled the unrest caused by Zhao Zhigang in the urban area of Dorado just right.
Now the entire Dorodo has a very good impression of the city defense army, and even more admiration for Lin Xiao. Good things about Lin Xiao are circulating in the streets.
No matter who talks about him, they will give him a thumbs up and call him an excellent general or a just and wise commander.
The cooperation between the city defense army and the city lord's forces has also become closer. It can be described as a honeymoon period. The situation is excellent.
And all of this was promoted by Lin Xiao!
Thinking of this, Yuan Zheng felt extremely lucky for his decision to follow Lin Xiao.
My choice was indeed the right one!
"Eat quickly and watch what I do."
Lin Xiao looked at Yuan Zheng who was in a daze in surprise and urged.
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted."
After Yuan Zheng finished speaking, he continued cooking and eating.
The food on the table was enough for at least four people, but for Yuan Zheng, it was just enough to fill his stomach.
Plus Lin Xiao, it's obviously not enough to eat, so I'll definitely have to add more later.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came.
"Mr. Lin! Mr. Yuan! Why are you here?"
Although they didn't call her by name, Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng still looked up and immediately saw a young woman who felt very familiar to them - who else could it be if she wasn't Tang Ling.
Tang Ling was not alone, there was a woman in her thirties following her.
Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng also knew this woman. Because they had seen her at Tang Guorong's home, they knew that she was Tang Guorong's young wife Mai Qian.
Maisie is a transliteration, and the name carries the unique style of the City-State Alliance, but Maisie is not a pure City-State Alliance woman, she retains the general Dragon Kingdom blood in her body.
"It turns out to be you."
Lin Xiao's reaction was very dull. He nodded slightly as a greeting, and then prepared to continue eating hot pot with Yuan Zheng.
But Tang Ling walked over hand in hand with her little mother and stood in front of them.
"I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Lin, Mr. Yuan...you don't mind if I call you that, right?"
Tang Ling asked excitedly but a little worriedly.
After all, Lin Xiao is the commander-in-chief of the city defense army and has the highest status in the city. Only the city lord Liu Qianxiong can compare with him.
Therefore, Tang Ling was afraid that her words and deeds would displease this distinguished "big man".
But Lin Xiao didn't dislike the way she called him, he just simply found this woman a bit annoying.
"Don't mind."
Lin Xiao forced out a smile and said.
Yuan Zheng looked at Tang Ling's baby mother Mai Qian and asked: "Mrs. Tang, are you and your daughter coming to eat hot pot?"
"Well, yes, I just didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that I would meet you two."
Maisie nodded and replied.
At this moment, a waiter came over.
"I'm sorry, you two, it's full now. Why don't you wait in the waiting area for a while?"
As soon as the waitress finished speaking, Tang Ling and Mai Qi suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything. Yuan Zheng hesitated for a moment before asking: "How about you eat with us?"
Yuan Zheng was not only asking about Mai Qian and Tang Ling's mother and daughter, he was also asking about Lin Xiao.
If Lin Xiao didn't want to have hot pot with these two women, then he would definitely get up at this time and find any reason to leave.
In this way, there was room for the two of them.
But Lin Xiao didn't do this. After all, Tang Guorong was also doing deals with the city defense army - and he was also an arms dealer with large transactions. There was no need to embarrass him in such a small matter.
Eating a meal is not a big deal.
"Can we, Mr. Lin?"
Mai Qian looked at Lin Xiao and asked. Although she was a woman, she was very smart and knew that the person who made the final decision was not Yuan Zheng but Lin Xiao.
"why not?"
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Yuan Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured out the key, and then said to the waitress: "Please add two more chairs, we are together."
"Oh, okay, wait a minute."
The waitress left in a hurry.
After a while, two chairs were added, and Tang Ling and Maisie sat down at the table together.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when they were seated, Mai Qian took the lead and sat next to Yuan Zheng, so Tang Ling could only sit next to Lin Xiao.
Of course, Tang Ling was very happy to accept this result. She knew that her mother was creating opportunities for herself.
But when she actually sat down next to Lin Xiao, she was extremely nervous. She wanted to pick up the bottle and give Lin Xiao a glass of wine, but found that her hands could not stop shaking.
