72 Dugu Family (1/2)

The great general Dugu Wu Di headed back home solemnly, his mind in a state of confusion. When Dugu Wu Di was at the military barracks outside the city, he heard the sound of the war drums and quickly gathered a group of soldiers with him before riding towards the city. The first thing he did when he reached the city was to go to the Imperial Palace and request to meet the Emperor.

He had already commanded his soldiers to prepare for war. If Jun Zhan Tian were to rebel, his Dugu Family’s military forces would be the only ones in the city that were capable of protecting the Emperor. They were also the only ones that had the ability to go against Jun Zhan Tian’s forces!

However, His Majesty had adopted a secretive attitude towards this issue, causing Dugu Wu Di to become perplexed.

The current situation had escalated to a very serious level. A drastic change to Tian Xiang Empire’s ruling power may occur at any moment and the Imperial Palace may end up occupied. Yet the Majesty had only said four words to him: Do not be impatient! The Majesty then sent him home to find his old man. He even prevented him from returning to his barracks and even thwarted his attempt to organize the defenses for the Imperial Palace. These were simply too incomprehensible.

Dugu Wu Di felt himself going dizzy.

The dispirited Dugu Wu Di finally reached home. He immediately went to find his father, Dugu Zong Heng, before going to his own courtyard. However, what happened next left the great general, who was in command of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, extremely embarrassed…

”You PIG! Good for nothing! You dragged this senior out of his bed just for the sake of this little problem? You unfilial disobedient son! How did I manage to bring up such a worthless human being? Next time when you leave the house, don’t you dare call yourself my son! I cannot afford to lose my face!”

Grandfather Dugu was in a rage and his voice was so loud that everyone in the residence could hear him. His spittle from his fit had landed all over his son’s face as he jabbed Dugu Wu Di’s head. With each jab, Dugu Wu Di’s head was pushed backward. ”Can’t you use that pig head of yours to think? Or is it filled with dog shit? Rebel? Bullshit! Let this senior enlighten you. Even if our Dugu Family were to rebel, Jun Zhan Tian would never rebel! Even if the Emperor himself rebel against himself, Jun Zhan Tian would also never rebel! Get your sorry ass back to bed and sleep! I can’t be bothered with you anymore, you PIG! Stupid pig! Son of a bitch!”

In the end, the great general Dugu Wu Di was kicked out. Furiously, Grandfather Dugu turned around and headed back to bed. However, a fierce voice instantly screeched out, ”You old bastard! What did you say just now? Son of a bitch? Who is Wu Di’s mother? If Wu Di is a pig then what kind of animal are you?! Is there only dog shit in your head? You pig! You absolute pig!” The sound of a few forceful slaps could be heard.

Great General Dugu Wu Di massaged his buttocks, his face sour and filled with resentment. He viciously shouted to himself: Give him a brutal beating! Serve him right!

Still confused, Dugu Wu Di headed back to his own courtyard only to realize that it was filled with noise and was brightly lit. His wife and third concubine were still awake. Upon noticing his return, they hurried towards him. After some questioning, he found out that his daughter had run back home in tears and no matter what they did, she would not cheer up. She had then locked herself up in her room and did not set a single foot out of it. From the looks of it, it seemed like someone must have bullied her.

The confused and glum Dugu Wu Di suddenly turned livid. Why is nothing going right today? And who in Tian Xiang Empire have the guts to bully my baby girl? You better watch out as I mobilize my army to exterminate you! Accompanied by his wives, he broke into his daughter’s room and started to console her. After some time, she finally stopped crying and was able to calm down after drinking a bowl of soup.

”Who is the one that dares to bully my daughter? Tell me their names! I will get rid of all of them!” hollered a ferocious Dugu Wu Di. His heart ached as he noticed his dear daughter had turned swollen from crying. He growled inwardly: I am going to explode!

”Father,” said Dugu Xiao Yi. ”You must get justice for me.”

A sense of foreboding came over Dugu Wu Di suddenly: Is it possible that my daughter was… He could not help but nervously asked, ”Who is it?”
