I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2050: Garrison General
"Holy Son, please wait a moment, the general will be here soon." A maid respectfully brought tea with a flattering tone.

Liu Jun nodded and sat in the main seat in the hall with a calm expression. He knew in his heart that the following conversation would be a silent contest. The arrogance and arrogance of the garrison general were no longer a secret, and the purpose of Liu Jun's trip was to see what this old guy was going to do and which side he stood on.

Previously, the defense arrangements of the Palace of the God King had always been led by the Shura Army, assisted by the Guard Army.

As soon as the Shura army set out and left the royal city, a big hole was blown in the city wall. No one would believe that this had nothing to do with the guards.

A moment later, the garrison general strode into the hall with a fake smile on his face, but his tone revealed a hint of disdain: "Sir, your presence is truly an honor to my humble abode. I wonder what brings you here today?"

Liu Jun smiled slightly, looked directly at the garrison general, and said calmly: "General, you are too polite. I came here today just to talk to you about the bombing of the city wall."

When the garrison general heard this, his smile froze slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He knew that Liu Jun's visit was not just a simple visit.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, as if even the air had frozen. Liu Jun and the garrison general looked at each other, knowing that every word they said next would be a silent game.

"Ah? When did it happen? I was busy inspecting the military camp last night and didn't sleep all night. I slept soundly today and didn't hear the sound of the city wall being blown up." The garrison general said in surprise, his brows furrowed, obviously shocked by the sudden news.

"Well, the garrison general has worked so hard." Liu Jun said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

If this old guy were put into the entertainment industry, he would definitely be awarded an Oscar for Best Actor.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. This is what I should do. But I also have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter." The garrison general shook his head, with self-blame in his tone.

After the garrison general finished speaking, he shouted outside: "Come here, where is the lieutenant general? How can you not report such a big thing?"

His voice was loud and majestic, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the lieutenant general's dereliction of duty.

"Here I come." A skinny lieutenant general ran over with fear and uneasiness on his face.

"What happened? You didn't even tell me about such a serious incident as the city wall being blown up, and His Royal Highness the Son of God had to come and tell me in person." The garrison general stepped forward and slapped the lieutenant general in the face, obviously angry at the lieutenant general's dereliction of duty.

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. It was mainly because the Shura Army suddenly withdrew its defenses, and our people didn't have time to fill the gap in defense, so the thieves succeeded." The lieutenant general covered his face and explained, with helplessness and grievance in his tone. He tried to defend himself, but it was obviously unable to calm the garrison general's anger.

"You useless thing! Where is that guy? Have you caught him?" the garrison general scolded.

"The three bandits have all been killed," replied the lieutenant general.

"Call all generals immediately and hold an emergency meeting." The garrison general ordered.

"Yes, General." The lieutenant general responded quickly, turned around and left in a hurry.

The garrison general turned to Liu Jun and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry to have made a fool of myself. The Shura Army suddenly withdrew its defenses, and my men were slow to react. Just wait, I will definitely deal with them."

Liu Jun nodded and said calmly, "General, you are right, but don't blame them too much. These things are all understandable."

The garrison general smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I thank you on behalf of these soldiers."

"You're too polite, General. We are all family," Liu Jun replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes. Then Your Highness, please follow me to the conference room and we will discuss countermeasures together." said the garrison general.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "General, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

The two men walked side by side towards the solemn meeting hall. Although their steps were steady, their hearts were like turbulent waves. Each of them had his own ulterior motives and was secretly calculating his own little plans.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn and serious. The generals had arrived one after another. They were dressed in armor and sat solemnly in their respective seats, quietly waiting for the arrival of the garrison general.

At this moment, the garrison general walked into the meeting room with steady steps and looked around at the generals present.

Upon seeing this, the generals immediately stood up and saluted, shouting in unison: "Hello, General!" Their voices were uniform and full of respect for the garrison general.

The garrison general nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down. However, at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something important, frowned, and called out to the generals: "The person next to me is His Royal Highness the Holy Son, hurry up, salute!"

When the generals heard this, they were shocked and quickly turned to look at the man next to the garrison general.

The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament. He was the legendary Holy Son - Liu Jun.

Upon seeing this, all the generals saluted Liu Jun in unison: "Greetings to His Majesty the Holy Son!"

"Don't be so polite, just sit down." Liu Jun's voice was calm and friendly.

However, the generals seemed not to have heard it, and their eyes all turned to the garrison general standing nearby.

The garrison general had a barely perceptible sneer on his face, and his eyes flashed with a complex light. "Why are you looking at me? Sit down, His Royal Highness the Holy Son has spoken." The garrison general's voice was low and powerful, as if reminding everyone present who was the real master here.

The generals then slowly sat down, their backs straight, their expressions serious, obviously they were all elite soldiers who had undergone rigorous training. Their movements were uniform, as if they were silently swearing their loyalty to the garrison general.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness. I brought these guys up. They don't listen to anything other than my orders and are so stubborn." The garrison general's tone carried a hint of pride. He looked directly at Liu Jun, as if testing something.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible chill in his smile. "It's okay. It's a good thing that the guards are united."

Although it was not stated explicitly, Liu Jun understood that the garrison general was trying to show his power, and the meaning was very clear - these 250,000 guards only listened to him, the garrison general. If he was unhappy, then His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven would be nothing.

Liu Jun sneered in his heart. He knew that his position in the Palace of the Gods was not as stable as it seemed. The power of the garrison general was deeply rooted, and it was not easy to gain a foothold here.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would find a way to break this situation and make these guards truly obey his orders. Otherwise, he, the Holy Son, would be completely sidelined during his master's wife's absence, and he would only be able to return a mess to his master's wife.

Liu Jun's eyes swept over every general present again, and there was a hint of firmness and determination in his eyes. He knew that this game of power had just begun, and he had to win in this game.

"Generals, we have called you here today because we have an important matter to discuss." The garrison general's voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

The generals' eyes were focused on him again, their expressions still serious.

The garrison general said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you all know that the city wall was blown up. The thieves succeeded, and it was all our fault. Now, we must act immediately to find out the truth and prevent the situation from getting worse."

The generals nodded in agreement. The garrison general continued, "We need to strengthen the city's defenses to prevent the thieves from attacking again."

"Yes," the generals responded.

"Your Highness, would you like to say a few words?" The guard general looked at Liu Jun with a hint of temptation in his eyes, and his voice echoed in the spacious conference room.

The generals around him stopped what they were doing and looked at Liu Jun, waiting for his response.

Liu Jun raised his eyes slightly, shook his head gently, and said calmly: "I don't need it, you guys continue."

The garrison general nodded, his eyes swept across the faces of the generals. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Well, OK. Let's do this for now, everyone get busy."

Following the garrison general's order, all the generals stood up and left the meeting hall in an orderly manner.

Liu Jun also stood up slowly, straightened his robe, and prepared to say goodbye.

Upon seeing this, the garrison general hurriedly stepped forward, his tone a little anxious: "Your Highness, why don't you stay for a while, we still have some details to discuss."

Liu Jun smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes: "No need, the general is busy with affairs, I won't bother you any more."

The garrison general saw this and could not force Liu Jun to stay. He could only force a smile and watch him leave.

When Liu Jun disappeared outside the door, the garrison general's face darkened instantly, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "This Saint Son is really a troublesome guy. We have to listen to Li Xuan's advice..."

After leaving the garrison general's mansion, Liu Jun led his guards on the road back to the God King Palace. As the night deepened, there were few pedestrians on the street, and only the occasional footsteps and horse hooves broke the silence of the night. Liu Jun sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and thought, and kept replaying the scene in his mind.

"The garrison general...is indeed not one of us." Liu Jun thought to himself, frowning slightly.

He knew before that the defense force of the God King City was divided into three branches: the Shura Army, the Extreme Fire Army, and the Garrison Army. However, the Shura Army had just set out, and the command of the Extreme Fire Army was not in his hands, and the Garrison Army was firmly controlled by the Garrison General. This meant that his foundation in this King City could not be said to be stable, it was not there at all.

"If the garrison general is not one of us, then he can no longer stay in this position." Liu Jun made a secret decision in his heart.

He understood that the existence of the garrison general was like a time bomb that could explode at any time and threaten his safety. He had to find a way to remove the garrison general from the core of power as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Liu Jun's eyes.

The bombing of the city wall today was most likely a test by certain people, and this must have been tacitly approved by the garrison general or done by someone he arranged.

If they blow up the city wall this time, they might blow up the Palace of the God King next time. To put it bluntly, he will have to keep one eye open and keep watch even when he sleeps from now on.

"Your Highness, we are here." The guard's voice interrupted Liu Jun's thoughts. Through the car window, he could see the majestic outline of the Palace of the God King, which looked particularly solemn in the night.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, then slowly got off the carriage and stepped into the gate of the Palace of the God King.

"Come on, let's see who kills who first," Liu Jun murmured in a low voice, with a sneer on his lips.

The game has just begun and the outcome is uncertain, but he is confident that he will not lose.
