Douluo—Chapter 29: Dai Chengfeng's two major mistakes! Can't be a clown!!!
Dai An wanted to hear the "brilliant opinions" of his third son.
However no matter whether Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, or Dai Chengfeng, they are all his and his wife Zhu Hongxiu's biological sons.
It stands to reason that as a father, he should not be biased towards anyone.
But...
Dai An did not deny that he liked his youngest son more. In him, he seemed to see the spirited self of his youth... No, that was much better than when he was young.
Star Luo Empire, the hope of the future!
Then, it was his eldest son Dai Weisi, and finally the third son, Dai Mubai.
He always felt that his third son Dai Mubai was not like someone from their Star Luo Empire.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever he encountered difficulties and things that seemed unsolvable, the first thing he thought of was not how to solve them as much as possible, but how to escape.
This is not the style of their Star Luo Empire at all.
Dai An also taught him carefully. After all, he was his son after all...
But, he never changed after repeated teachings!
His third son seemed to be completely unable to understand that some things could be compromised, but once some things were compromised, the "backbone" would be broken!
'I hope Mubai can understand the truth when he grows up, hey!'
Dai An sighed softly in his heart, and a bit of concern for his son flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, Dai Mubai didn't know what his father was thinking. Instead, he said with some grief, "Father, I think Chengfeng shouldn't attack Wuping City at all."
"Huh?"
Dai An frowned slightly, "You said, Chengfeng shouldn't attack Wuping City?"
"Yes, father, Chengfeng shouldn't attack Wuping City at all." Dai Mubai nodded vigorously, "He made two big mistakes in this move!"
"The first mistake…"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with a hint of temptation. He looked at his father and said, "Father, if I remember correctly, you have promised the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall not to retaliate against the last incident, right?"
Dai An thought of the 'humiliating' treaty and his tone subconsciously sank a bit.
But he still nodded, "That's right!"
When Dai Mubai heard this, he was completely sure of his guess, and a bit of pride flashed in his tone, "Then I guess Father, you must not have instructed Chengfeng to attack Wu'an City, right?"
Dai An still nodded.
"In that case!"
"Father, you have reached an agreement with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, and decided not to retaliate for the previous things."
Dai Mubai's tone was a little louder, "However, Dai Chengfeng privately attacked Wuping City without your instruction, causing you to lose your trust in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall. This move can be said to have made you lose face."
Then, without waiting for Dai An and Zhu Hongxiu to speak, he continued: "And this is the second biggest mistake!"
"It is clear that the current strength of our Star Luo Empire is not as strong as that of the Spirit Hall. Although we were indeed attacked by the Heaven Dou Empire, now that the Spirit Hall has intervened, we should choose to be patient and put the overall situation first."
"But Chengfeng acted on impulse. For the sake of the lives of a few thousand soldiers, he ignored the Spirit Hall's thoughts and deliberately retaliated against Wuping City..."
"Enough!"
Before Dai Mubai finished speaking, Zhu Hongxiu couldn't help but shout.
"Mubai, I told you not to drink alcohol at such a young age, but you refused to listen and are now talking nonsense!"
"Why don't you admit your mistake to your father!"
"Mother?" Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Hongxiu in confusion, "I didn't drink alcohol, and what I said was all for the good of Star Luo Empire and father..."
Zhu Hongxiu's eyes were full of anxiety, "Why didn't you drink alcohol..."
"Okay!"
Dai An raised his hand to interrupt, and looked at his queen with an extremely calm face, "Madam, I know you are doing this for Mubai's good, but he really... disappointed me as a father today!"
"Husband..."
Although her husband in front of her didn't seem angry, even his expression didn't change.
But Zhu Hongxiu knew that only when he was extremely furious would her husband be like this, "Mubai is still young, he doesn't understand..."
"But he is older than Chengfeng, why can Chengfeng understand, but he doesn't understand anything?"
Dai An said, waving at Dai Mubai who was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Father..."
Although Dai Mubai didn't think he was wrong, he could feel that the atmosphere was wrong at this moment, so he came to his father with some trepidation.
Pa——!
A slap sounded throughout the imperial study, and a blood-red slap mark instantly appeared on Dai Mubai's face.
"Do you know why your father hit you?"
Dai An looked calm, looking at Dai Mubai who was in disbelief and covering his cheek.
"Is it because I... said something bad about Chengfeng?"
Dai Mubai looked at his father, his eyes full of grievance and confusion.
"Asshole!"
Dai An looked at Dai Mubai, who still didn't understand where he was wrong, and roared, "Because of my Dai family's ancestral precepts, you and Chengfeng are destined to be competitors. Your father can fully understand your desire to kill Chengfeng."
"So even if you kill Chengfeng, your father will be angry, but he will also be pleased with your strength and will never hit you!"
"But you should never... say that the soldiers in Wu'an City who sacrificed their lives to protect their country were just a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers!"
"Those people are all heroes of my Star Luo Empire!"
"Without their selfless sacrifice, how could there be the Star Luo Empire today?!"
As he spoke, Dai An's eyes were red, and he grabbed Dai Mubai's collar, "There's more!"
"Do you think that your father wants to agree to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall and not take revenge?"
"That's your father's shame! I, the Star Luo Emperor, don't have the ability to protect my people!"
"And now, Chengfeng has helped your father do what I want to do but can't do. I can only feel proud!"
"As for losing face?"
"Dignity can never be gained by compromise!"
"I can now use Chengfeng's young age to fool the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, making them suffer in silence. Is it because I compromised well and quickly? That's because our Star Luo Empire is stronger than the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"How can you not understand such a simple truth?"
"Comparing you with Chengfeng now is an insult to Chengfeng!"
"Father is... very disappointed in you!"
With that, Dai An sighed and let go of Dai Mubai, "Go, kneel in the ancestral temple."
"When you figure it out, come out again, otherwise never come out again!"
"Remember!"
"Father doesn't object to you being a hero, a tyrant, or a traitor, but as my son, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire... you can't be a bear!!!"
In the end, Dai An couldn't suppress his anger and yelled.
Dai Mubai looked at his father, pursing his lips in grievance. He didn't understand...
After a war, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers will die. As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he is high above. What's wrong with him saying that they are just miscellaneous soldiers?
And, now it is obvious that the Spirit Hall is more powerful. If a real fight breaks out, the Star Luo Empire is no match for the Spirit Hall.
In this case, shouldn't the Star Luo Empire be honest and try not to offend the Spirit Hall?
Although he disagreed and didn't accept it in his heart...
Dai Mubai looked at his furious father, but he dared not say anything. He could only feel wronged. 'I'm not wrong. What good will it do if I anger the Spirit Hall? Father will favor Dai Chengfeng!'
'Just wait and see!'
'One day I will prove that you are all wrong. I, Dai Mubai, am far better than Dai Chengfeng!'
