Dian Wei's family of three hugged each other and cried bitterly. This made the people in the city believe that this burly man below was their fellow villager, Dian Wei, who was labeled as a "fugitive"!
"Dian Wei already has an army of 100,000 men! This is unbelievable!"
"Fortunately, we didn't abuse his wife and children. Otherwise, today..."
"Dian Wei is rich now. We don't have to be afraid of the Yellow Turban bandits anymore!”
Thus, these commoners rushed out of the city and quickly surrounded Dian Wei.
"Dian Wei, I'm Zhu Zi. You have 100,000 troops now, can you reward me with a general position?”
"Dian Wei, my daughter is 28 years old and as beautiful as a flower.”
A few young men walked up to Xue Rengui and touched his armor and weapons while shouting,"
"Uncle Dian Wei's general looks so mighty!”
There were even a few young women who went up to Sun Ce and commented on him. All of them blushed and pointed at Sun Ce shyly.
A few young women even whispered shyly,""Uncle Dian Wei's subordinate is really handsome. I wonder if Uncle can help me find a matchmaker…"
When Dian Wei saw this scene, he no longer cared about the warmth of his wife and children. He quickly got up and wiped his tears while pushing the women away. He glared at them and scolded,"Restrain yourselves! This is my lord, not some random kid you can hook up with in the streets! If you continue to act in front of my lord like this, I won't even dare to protect your heads!”
The surrounding villagers were stunned."What is it? Your lord? Dian Wei, do you mean that this army is not yours, but…this little general's?”
Not only did Dian Wei not feel ashamed, he even became proud of himself: "Of course this is my lord's army!”
"Bah, so you're still a stinky soldier. I wasted my enthusiasm!”
The surrounding people immediately started laughing and scolding.
Dian Wei was extremely embarrassed." My lord, my fellow countrymen are a little rude. My lord, please don't blame them. They…are actually not bad people!"”
Sun Ce smiled slightly and raised his hand to suppress the noise of the crowd. Then, he said loudly,"Everyone, I am the Southern Lieutenant General of the Imperial Court, Sun Ce. I was ordered to suppress the bandits and was passing by. Dian Wei is now my general, not the stinky army you call him!”
"Nanzhong General? Is it very powerful?" An auntie sneered.
Dian Wei immediately flew into a rage. I haven't heard of Nanzhong General, but I've heard of Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, Zhonglang General Lu Zhi, and Zhonglang General Zhu Wei, right? My lord is also a Zhonglang General conferred by the imperial court. His status is on par with Huangfu Song and the others. He has even been conferred the title of Marquis of Jingbian by the emperor! Don't you think it's amazing?"
The commoners immediately exclaimed,""He's actually at the level of Zhonglang General Huangfu Song! Wouldn't that mean that he would soon become one of the nine ministers?”
These commoners immediately knelt down and paid their respects to Sun Ce. They felt extremely proud to see such a big shot.
Dian Wei's wife said in a low voice,"My husband is actually working for the Zhonglang General. Doesn't that mean he has a bright future?"”
Although her voice was soft, the surrounding villagers heard it clearly. Therefore, everyone looked at her with envious expressions. Even some young women, after knowing that they had no hope of marrying Sun Ce, began to frequently wink at Dian Wei.
At this moment, the attention of Sun Ce and the others once again shifted to Dian Man.
Xue Rengui even dismounted from his horse and pushed aside the few young men who were still groping him. He walked to Dian Man's side and began to massage his bones. His face gradually revealed a solemn expression, but it also revealed a thick joy.
"Unpolished jade! Unpolished jade!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but exclaim," My lord, Dian Wei's son is a natural martial arts genius!”
Of course, Sun Ce also knew that he was a genius just by looking at his 82-year-old martial strength.
Suddenly, Xue Rengui looked at Dian Man and asked happily,""Child, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
Dian Man immediately shook his head and said in a muffled voice,"My father is a general of the Zhonglang General. I don't want to take you as my master!”
Dian Wei was furious when he heard that." You brat, you really don't know what's good for you!" This is General Xue, I'm afraid there's no one else in the world who can match him. You actually rejected such a good opportunity. You're really disappointing!”
Pa, pa, pa!
Dian Wei went up and beat up Dian Man.
Xue Rengui immediately stopped him and lifted Dian Wei up. He asked Dian Man gently again,"Take me as your master. I can make you stronger!”
Dian Man was stunned when he saw his father being lifted up by Xue Rengui. He thought of what Dian Wei said and nodded subconsciously.
"Rascal, why aren't you kowtowing? You want to acknowledge me as your master while standing?" Dian Wei was in the air but he was still scolding Dian Man.
Dian Man immediately kowtowed obediently to acknowledge him as his master. Dian Wei was ecstatic when he saw this.
However, although Xue Rengui and Dian Man became master and disciple, Sun Ce had no intention of letting Dian Man go to war with him.
"Dian Man is still young and hasn't matured yet. If anything happens, it'll be too late for regrets!" I'll leave another hundred elite soldiers to protect your family. This way, you don't have to worry about their safety.”
When Dian Wei saw how much Sun Ce cared for him, he was instantly moved. His loyalty rose once again, directly reaching 100, becoming Sun Ce's loyal follower!
