Free Web NovelChapter 133: One of the Four Fiends, Gluttonous!
But upon learning the result, Long Chen was still ecstatic.
He almost wanted to hug the face of Dian Wei and take a bite.
After joining Long Chen, Dian Wei’s favorability towards him soared, reaching a staggering 85, which was already extremely high.
From this, it can be seen that Dian Wei’s character was the kind that once he decided to trust you, he wouldn’t easily let go!
His character was loyal and righteous, no less than Guan Yu!
Long Chen sighed silently, then called out in his mind, "System, check Dian Wei’s attributes!"
"Ding! Checking Dian Wei’s attribute panel..."

Innate talent, immense strength, unparalleled physical power, strength and stamina far surpass ordinary people, but has an extremely ugly appearance...
...
...
Indeed, he was truly a Five-Star Divine General. Look at these exaggerated stats.
His strength had a maximum of 103, on par with Xu Chu.
However, Dian Wei’s strategy value was only 40, 4 points lower than Xu Chu’s.
But in terms of stamina, he exceeded Xu Chu by 3 points. No wonder he could endure for two or three days on the run!
If it were an ordinary general, they would have been chopped to death by so many pursuers long ago!
Huh! Charm value is only a pitiful 2...
Long Chen raised his eyes to look at Dian Wei.
Oh! His appearance really isn’t pleasing to the eye!
He had been so engrossed in experiencing Dian Wei’s strength just now that he hadn’t paid much attention to his appearance. Now, looking again, he was a bit startled!
Dian Wei was a bald, burly man with rough, dark skin. The most striking feature was his bushy beard, sticking out like a broom.
There was also a scarlet scar between his eyebrows, which he later learned was a birthmark.
Long Chen felt that with Dian Wei’s whole face like this, he could probably scare ordinary people to tears!
Extremely ferocious!
No wonder his martial art was called the "Gluttony Decree"!
The Glutton (Tie) was one of the Four Evils, and among them, it was considered one of the most ferocious!
Moreover, the Glutton was extremely greedy. Now that he thought about it, Dian Wei’s ability to eat so much was closely related to the martial art he practiced.
After all, the more ferocious these types of beasts were, the higher the demand for daily replenishment of their blood and energy.
And the source of this blood and energy came from the meat they consumed.
This was also why when Dian Wei was hungry, he could devour an entire pig without leaving a trace.
Even Xu Chu, who considered himself a big eater, couldn’t compare.
With this strong man Dian Wei in tow.
The army continued on its way to Yangzhou...
Several days later.
Yangzhou.
Jiujiang County.
Prefectural Governor’s Mansion.
Long Chen sat comfortably in the seat of honor, looking at the familiar surroundings, feeling pleased.
Finally, he was back to his old haunt!
This trip could be said to be full of gains.
Not only did he obtain Zhao Yun, a Five-Star Divine General who would command his future cavalry corps.
But he also acquired another Five-Star Divine General, Dian Wei, one of the future Tiger Elite duo.
With these two generals, Long Chen’s army strength was greatly enhanced.
After all, it was easy to obtain thousands of soldiers, but finding a capable general was difficult! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Moreover, two Five-Star Divine Generals?!
Xia Zhi was below, explaining the changes that had occurred in Jiujiang and Wu counties after they left.
"Reporting to the Lord, there has been a large influx of talents into Jiujiang and Wu counties recently, filling the vacancies in the lower-level officials in our counties."
Long Chen nodded in satisfaction.
During the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Long Chen’s reputation had spread from Yangzhou to Jizhou, Yuzhou, and other places...
With Long Chen’s reputation as brave as Lu Bu, his benevolent governance and love for the people had also spread in Jiujiang and Wu counties.
Countless talents and scholars were eager to come to Yangzhou, Jiujiang, and Wu counties to realize their ambitions under Long Chen’s rule.
Of course,
Most of the newcomers were commoners and knights-errant, with low social status.
Due to Long Chen’s implementation of the "Selection Decree," there were no requirements for background or lineage. The only requirement was talent or virtue. As long as you had a skill, even if you were just a blacksmith, Long Chen would accept you.
However, this also meant that most aristocratic children looked down on Long Chen’s side. Because from childhood, they had a noble status and would not willingly mingle with those commoners they usually looked down upon.
So although they admired Long Chen, they were unwilling to work in Jiujiang or Wu County.
But Long Chen didn’t care much about this.
As long as talents flowed in, whether they were nobles or commoners, it didn’t matter!
Talented individuals would hold high positions!
Next, Long Chen and his military advisor Xishi dealt with some piled-up government affairs in the mansion.
When the government affairs were finished, it was already late at night.
Long Chen stretched lazily and asked, "Xishi, how is your health now?"
Now, Xishi’s complexion was no longer as pale and bloodless as before. His face was now ruddy, looking very healthy.
At the question, Xishi bowed and said, "Thanks to the Exorcism Golden Pill bestowed by the Lord, my body is now many times stronger than before!"
Then, seemingly thinking of something, Xishi chuckled and said softly.
"Lord, I can endure this now!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and extended one finger.
Long Chen looked at him in amazement and asked uncertainly, "One minute?"
Xishi:...
"One hour!!!" Xishi replied.
"Hahaha!" Seeing Xishi’s frustrated and flushed face, Long Chen laughed out loud.
He was just teasing him when he said one minute.
But speaking of this, Long Chen realized that he hadn’t been intimate with his beloved wife for a long time...
It had been a long time, and he missed it terribly...
Then, he said to Xishi, "Xishi, let’s leave it at that for today. We’ll discuss tomorrow’s plans together."
"Yes, my Lord," Xishi said, bowing.
"And one more thing, even though your health has improved, you must still exercise restraint, understand?"
Long Chen turned around to warn him.
He knew Xishi best, and his greatest loves in life were fine wine and beautiful women.
This was also one of the important reasons for his previous kidney deficiency.
...
...
After returning to the mansion, Long Chen was about to go to Diaochan’s mansion for some intimacy.
But he found that her mansion was already dark, pitch black.
Ah... it seemed there was no way tonight...
Long Chen felt frustrated. freewebnoveℓ.com
Since there were no entertainment facilities in ancient times, and no electric lights, most ancient people went to bed when the sun went down.
So Diaochan should be in a deep sleep by now, and Long Chen didn’t want to disturb her.
Just as he was about to return to the study to spend the night somehow, Long Chen suddenly noticed that Empress He’s room was still lit...
