"What's wrong with Zhongying?"

Seeing that the usually forthright Dong Zhuo was actually speaking with a hint of unease, one of the officers looked at Dong Zhuo with some curiosity.

"I...."

Dong Zhuo glanced at the woman's belly, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Upon seeing this, everyone realized that Dong Zhuo was too fat to wear the clothes. It's not hard to imagine that even if he managed to put them on, he would look extremely ridiculous!

"Pfft~ Haha~"

Lu Bu, standing to the side, couldn't help but imagine a scene on the battlefield: a round, golden, fat man roaring and slaughtering his way through the land—the imagery was simply too vivid to describe.

"Huffing and puffing~ Haha~"

The others couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh!!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, then he glared fiercely at the crowd, "You just wait, it won't be long before I lose weight, and then I'll show you just how mighty and domineering I, Dong Zhuo, am!!"

"Okay, okay! We'll wait and see~ Haha~ Haha~"

As Lü Bu spoke, he couldn't help but continue laughing loudly.

"You... Hmph~"

Seeing Lü Bu's maniacal laughter, Dong Zhuo felt annoyed, but considering that he couldn't defeat him, he could only snort angrily and remain silent.

"Alright everyone, stop laughing!"

Zhang Huan then spoke up, stopping the laughter of the crowd, and announced loudly, "Tonight we will host a banquet to welcome Jian Changshi and all the brothers who escorted the weapons!"

"promise!!"

"Then let's all go our separate ways!"

At Zhang Huan's command, the soldiers left the main tent and began to prepare for their respective tasks.

That night, bonfires were lit on the drill ground of the Bingzhou camp.

All the generals and officers of the Bingzhou army, as well as Jian Shuo and others, gathered here.

Looking at the roasted lamb dripping with golden oil on the grill, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Zhongying, come and eat!!"

Lu Bu handed a roasted lamb leg, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an enticing aroma, to Dong Zhuo.

"I'm not eating, I need to lose weight!!"

Dong Zhuo turned his head away, resisting the temptation, and pushed the roasted lamb leg aside.

"You really won't eat?"

"I won't eat it!!"

"If you won't eat it, I will!"

As he spoke, Lü Bu picked up a leg of lamb and took a big bite.

While eating mutton, Lü Bu picked up a wine bowl and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

"If you won't eat meat, then drink alcohol!!"

"I won't drink it. I'm afraid I'll be tempted to eat meat if I do!"

Dong Zhuo shook his head, picked up the flatbread that had been prepared for him, and took a bite.

"Alright... then you just wait and see! Haha~"

Lu Bu laughed loudly, and then began to eat and drink in front of Dong Zhuo, taking bites of meat and sips of wine.

Watching Lü Bu feast in front of him, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but smack his lips.

He glanced at the flatbread and bowl of water in front of him, then at the lamb leg and wine in Lu Bu's hand.

Drooling water dripped continuously from Dong Zhuo's mouth; he looked like he was about to cry from craving.
