I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2051 Military Advisor Yao Guangxiao

"Xiaobai, please ask someone to invite all my friends here." Liu Jun stood at the door of the Extreme Fire Temple and suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiaobai responded respectfully, then turned around and quickly arranged for two guards in silver armor to invite Yao Guangxiao and others.

Soon, a group of people, led by the guards, entered the Extreme Fire Temple. Yao Guangxiao looked calm and walked leisurely, as if he was not surprised by the grandeur of the Extreme Fire Temple. However, the tiger, the ape man, and the fat man seemed a little uncomfortable. Their eyes wandered around, and their faces were full of surprise and awe.

"This... is this the Extreme Fire Temple?" Tiger murmured in a low voice with a hint of trembling in his voice.

He looked up at the towering roof of the palace, which was inlaid with countless gems sparkling with red light, as if stars had fallen to the earth, which was dazzling.

The ape-man's eyes widened, and his hands clenched unconsciously, as if he was afraid of getting lost in this magnificent building. The fat man looked excited, looking around, and kept muttering: "This place is really magnificent! I have never seen such a luxurious place in my life!"

You know, the Extreme Fire Temple is the core of the entire Sky Fire Divine Realm, symbolizing supreme power and majesty. It is a great honor for ordinary people to enter here once.

"What are you doing? You all act like you have never seen the world. Learn from me and stay calm." Liu Jun came up to them with a smile, his tone relaxed and with a hint of teasing.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Holy Son." Yao Guangxiao immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully. His movements were smooth and natural, and it was obvious that he was already accustomed to such occasions.

The others were stunned for a moment, then began to bow. Although their movements were a little awkward, their attitudes were very respectful.

"Don't be like this, Boss Yao, we are all brothers and friends, there is no such thing as a saintly son or not." Liu Jun waved his hands repeatedly with a helpless smile on his face. Then he walked forward, patted Yao Guangxiao on the shoulder, and said to the others: "You are all family, there is no need to be so reserved. I invited you here today because I want to get together with everyone and chat."

After hearing this, everyone relaxed a little, but the awe in their eyes did not completely disappear. After all, although Liu Jun in front of them had just been separated for a day, he was no longer the partner who had ventured with them, but the Son of Heavenly Fire Divine Realm, an existence with supreme power.

Liu Jun seemed to notice their reservedness. He smiled slightly and turned to point to a spacious hall in the palace: "Let's go. I have asked someone to prepare wine and food. Let's eat and chat at the same time."

Everyone followed Liu Jun into the hall, only to see that the hall was already filled with sumptuous delicacies, the aroma was overflowing, and it was mouth-watering. Liu Jun sat down first, signaling everyone not to be polite and to enjoy as they pleased.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became lively. Tiger, Ape Man and Fatty gradually relaxed and began to talk about their previous experiences and observations. Yao Guangxiao and Liu Jun talked in low voices, as if they were having some kind of deep communication.

Outside the Extreme Fire Temple, the night was getting darker, but the lights inside the temple were still bright, illuminating the group of friends who had fought side by side. Their laughter echoed in the temple, as if time had gone back to the days of drifting in the Sea of ​​Death.

However, a complicated look flashed in Liu Jun's eyes. He knew that everything in front of him might just be a short period of peace. The changes in the Skyfire Divine Realm had already quietly begun. And he shouldered a responsibility that could not be shirked.

"Brothers, no matter what the future holds, we will always be friends." Liu Jun raised his glass, his eyes determined, with an imperceptible heaviness in his tone.

Everyone raised their glasses and responded in unison: "Friends forever!"

The clinking of wine glasses created a clear sound that echoed in the hall, as if foreshadowing some irreversible fate.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content and all the dishes were cleared away, Yao Guangxiao patted the table gently to make the place quiet.

"Are you having any problems?" Yao Guangxiao asked.

"Well, I'm in trouble."

Liu Jun recounted in detail what he had seen and heard after returning to the Palace of the God King, from his master's wife leading the troops to the battle, to the bombing of the city wall, to his various experiences in the garrison general's mansion.

"Alas, this garrison general is a bad guy."

Although Tiger was usually thick-skinned, he noticed that something was wrong with the garrison general at this moment, and the others naturally understood it as well.

"What do you want to do?" Yao Guangxiao asked again, with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and said firmly: "Give the garrison a major blood transfusion."

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a few seconds, his eyes flashing with wisdom. He knew that Liu Jun's decision was inevitable, but it also faced huge challenges.

"A major replacement is inevitable, but there are a few conditions that need to be met. First, you need to have enough troops to take down the garrison, at least all the middle and high-level officers. Second, you need enough generals to replace them. Third, and most importantly, you need a legitimate reason to do so!"

Liu Jun frowned, his mind full of thoughts. It's not that he hadn't thought about the three suggestions Yao Guangxiao had just made, but with his current strength, every step seemed difficult, and it was unlikely that he could achieve these three points.

"When your master's wife left, she mentioned the Jihuo Army to you, right?" Yao Guangxiao's voice rang out again, interrupting Liu Jun's thoughts.

Liu Jun nodded: "I mentioned it before, but the Jihuo Army didn't listen to me."

The Jihuo Army is the old team left by the old God King. How could they obey his orders if they didn't listen to his master's wife? Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Have you tried it?"

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Okay, then I'll try it."

Although he was unsure, he understood that this was the only feasible solution at the moment. Only with the support of the Jihuo Army would his chances of winning increase.

"Then how do we solve the second and third points?"

Yao Guangxiao picked up the teacup, blew away the foam on the tea, and said slowly: "Second point, I don't know if you have noticed that General Wu Yi brought 500 elite soldiers to escort you back. These elite soldiers, if placed in ordinary armies, would at least be centurions or thousand-man commanders. They can completely replace the middle and high-level leaders of the garrison army." He paused, looking at Liu Jun deeply, "As for the third point, it is actually easiest to have a legitimate reason. You can let Shopkeeper Qian do it."

After hearing this, Liu Jun suddenly understood. General Wu Yi's five hundred elite soldiers were indeed useful. These people were experienced in many battles. If they could replace the middle and high-level leaders of the garrison, they would not only be able to quickly control the situation, but also ensure the loyalty of the army.

And Shopkeeper Qian, as the boss of Jinliufu Money Box in Tianhuo Divine Realm, can be said to be the most powerful businessman in Tianhuo Divine Realm. He has extensive connections and is well-informed. It is most appropriate for him to handle the matter of "legitimate reasons".

Thinking of this, Liu Jun's brows gradually relaxed, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. He stood up and said solemnly to Yao Guangxiao: "Thank you, Boss Yao, for your guidance."

"You're welcome. Have you forgotten what you just said? We are all brothers." Boss Yao said with a smile, his voice carrying a bit of generosity and kindness.

He actually enjoyed the process of fighting for power and liked to give advice to others. If it weren't for Liu Jun, he really wouldn't have found such an opportunity. This was very good and exciting for him. He liked the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife. Every step was full of unknowns and challenges, and every step could change the direction of the situation.

Everyone chatted for a while, with topics ranging from political strategies to interesting stories. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the coming storm and immersed themselves in a brief relaxed atmosphere. However, this relaxation was only superficial, and everyone knew in their hearts that every step forward was crucial.

After chatting for a while, everyone went to rest in the palace that Liu Jun had arranged for them. The palace was decorated extremely luxuriously and magnificently, and every detail showed the majesty and wealth of the Palace of the God King. However, for those who were about to participate in the power struggle, such luxury seemed a bit ironic.

As for Liu Jun himself, he only took the guard Xiaobai with him to the Fiery Canyon where the Extreme Fire Army was located. The Fiery Canyon was not too close to the Divine King City, but not too far either. The two of them rode on the Divine King Palace's unique divine horses and it took them more than an hour to get there.

The speed of the divine horse was extremely fast, the wind whistled past his ears, and Liu Jun's thoughts drifted away. He knew that every step forward was crucial, and if he was not careful, he might be doomed.

Although it was late at night, the lights were on in the Fiery Canyon, and from a distance, one could see teams of soldiers in red armor. These soldiers were all energetic and had sharp eyes, and were obviously elite troops.

Liu Jun secretly admired in his heart that the Jihuo Army was indeed worthy of its reputation. He and Guard Xiaobai slowly approached, and the soldiers immediately became alert and tightened their weapons. Liu Jun smiled slightly and raised his hand to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

"I'm Liu Jun, and I've come to pay a special visit to General Jihuo." Liu Jun said in a clear voice.

The soldiers looked at each other, obviously familiar with his name. After a moment, a man who looked like an officer came forward, looked at Liu Jun carefully, and then nodded.

"Please follow me." said the officer, turning around and leading Liu Jun and Guard Xiaobai into the depths of the canyon.

The road in the canyon is winding, with towering cliffs on both sides. The cliffs are covered with various runes, which are obviously some kind of powerful defensive formation.

Finally, they arrived in front of a huge tent. Outside the tent stood several burly guards, all with lightning eyes, obviously masters. The officer stepped forward to report, and a moment later, a low and majestic voice came from the tent: "Come in."

Liu Jun took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the tent. Inside the tent, a tall, stern-looking man was sitting in the main seat, staring at him with a sharp gaze.

This is General Jihuo, the commander of the Jihuo Army, a figure who once struck fear into the hearts of the enemies on the battlefield.

"I am Liu Jun, the Holy Son of Heavenly Fire, and I am honored to meet you, General." Liu Jun bowed respectfully.

He is not stupid enough to be arrogant in front of others just because of his status as the Son of God. He has to be humble when asking for help.

General Jihuo nodded slightly, but did not stand up. His eyes were still stern. "Your Highness, what is the matter that brings you here so late at night?"

Liu Jun raised his head, looked directly into General Jihuo's eyes, and said slowly: "General, Shenwang City is about to usher in a huge change. I hope that the Jihuo Army can stand on my side."

General Jihuo frowned slightly, obviously surprised by Liu Jun's words. "Great changes? What do you mean?"

"The change in control of the Palace of the Gods," said Liu Jun.

General Jihuo frowned even more. "You want to seize power while the chief steward is away?"

"No, you got it wrong. Someone wants to seize power while the steward is away, and I am just passively fighting back." Liu Jun said.

General Jihuo was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that Liu Jun was not fooling him, and he was also aware of the undercurrents in the Divine King City.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the Extreme Fire Army, he was not allowed to take any military action without the order of the old God King.
