Chapter 2158: The Holy Guard's Resistance

Bruning looked at Masha and He Zhou, then shook his head slightly.

"No."

Seeing him say this, both of them were disappointed.

They had been waiting here for a long time, and they really hoped that Bruning could come up with something useful.

As a result, there was no news from Bruning at all.

"Forget it, you have no news, but He Zhou did find out some news."

Masha spoke up.

"what news?"

Bruning immediately looked at He Zhou.

He Zhou replied: "According to reliable information, the Holy City was blocked because the new Holy Lord issued an order after taking office."

"Oh?"

Bruning suddenly became interested.

Seeing this, Masha asked, "Bruning, when exactly did you come in?"

Bruning never mentioned this matter, and Masha was not concerned about it, so he never asked.

But given the current situation, it is obviously necessary to find out when Bruning came in.

Bruning recalled: "The day before the new Holy Lord took office, we were arrested by the Holy Guards after we came in. The next day, we heard the news that the Holy Lord had been replaced, and the jailers in the cell celebrated for a whole day."

"That's right."

Masha nodded and looked at He Zhou.

Now everything fits together.

The day after Bruning entered the Holy City, the Holy City announced a city lockdown. As a result, after Bruning came out, he took him for a walk outside the Holy City, but ended up gaining nothing.

On the other side, He Zhou was looking at Bruning.

"After a whole day, you really didn't find any news?"

He still hoped that Bruning could tell him some useful information.

After all, he and Masha had been waiting here for so long.

The longer they waited, the greater their expectations. Both he and Masha hoped that Bruning would say something useful.

Bruning replied: "If you must, there is also a piece of news."

"what news?"

Masha asked immediately.

Bruning replied: "It seems that some Holy Guards in the Holy City are dissatisfied with the actions of the new Holy Lord and are plotting a rebellion."

"Really? How did you know?"

He Zhou and Ma Sha were both very curious.

If this news is true, it would be really big news.

If the Holy Guards plot a rebellion, things will get exciting in the Holy City.

Bruning replied, "I investigated carefully and found that some of the older Saint Guards and some of the younger Saint Guards would meet in private. However, I don't know what the content of the meeting is yet. I need to investigate further."

"So that's why you told us there was no news?"

He Zhou asked.

Bruning did not deny it and nodded, "Yes, I can't say anything before it's confirmed, but if I investigate it again tomorrow, I should have a result."

He Zhou and Ma Sha both nodded when they heard this.

He Zhou added: "This matter is very important. You'd better tell me the whole investigation process tomorrow."

Seeing this, Bruning said, "Don't worry, since we are now in the same boat, we must naturally do our best to cooperate with each other."

"it is good."

He Zhou said no more.

Masha looked at the sky and said, "Let's leave it at that for today and meet here tomorrow."

"Row."

He Zhou and Bruning nodded in unison.

Then the three of them left.

He Zhou went all the way to the hotel where he rented.

On the way, he asked Huang Yu, "What do you think of Bruning's statement?"

"I think there is still a possibility that the Holy Guards will rebel."

Huang Yu was silent for a moment before replying.

To be honest, when he heard Bruning say this, he was completely stunned.

How could any Holy Guard dare to rebel against the Holy Lord?
But when he thought about how the new Holy Lord actually forced the Holy Guards to wear holy clothes made of the fragments of the evil god, and even executed some of the Holy Guards who refused to submit, he understood.

Thinking back to the beginning, the reason why he had a mortal feud with the original Holy Lord was because he had suffered injustice.

Now that the Holy Guards have seen how the new Holy Lord has messed things up, it is only natural that they would be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Huang Yu was not at all surprised by the Holy Guards' choice.

He even felt that if it were him, he might be more radical.

He Zhou asked, "If the Holy Guards really rebel, what do you think their chances of winning are?"

"Not high, but it still depends on the strength of the new Holy Lord."

Huang Yu replied ambiguously.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Of course, judging from the fact that the new Saint Lord could easily force the previous Saint Lord to give up his throne, the new Saint Lord must be very powerful, so the chances of the Saint Guards' rebellion being successful are not high."

He Zhou nodded secretly when he heard this.

He thought so too.

It would not be so easy for the Holy Guards to succeed in their rebellion.

Of course, this is a good thing anyway.

The Holy City will surely be in chaos next, and he will have the opportunity to act.

Maybe after the chaos in the Holy City, he would be able to approach the giant eye easily.

He Zhou said in his heart.

While he was thinking, he had already arrived downstairs of the hotel, so he strode upstairs and returned to the hotel.

He has important things to do now, and before going to bed, he has to think carefully about how to deal with Joanna when he sees her tomorrow.

Although I have expressed my wish to see Joanna in person today, it is still unclear whether I can see her or not.

Therefore, everything must be taken into consideration and no mistakes can be made.

After taking a shower, He Zhou returned to the table. Huang Yu said, "I think we should not take the rebellion of the Holy Guard lightly. How about you go and investigate with that guy named Bruning?"

"Why do you say that?"

He Zhou asked, "Don't you want me to go to the Holy Palace again?"

Huang Yu was so scared of the former Holy Lord that he didn't even dare to say a few words after entering the Holy Palace.

Therefore, He Zhou reasonably suspected that Huang Yu said this now because he hoped he would not go to the Holy Palace.

"That's not the reason."

Huang Yu immediately denied it and said, "Even if I don't go to the Holy Palace, I still have to deal with the Holy Guards, right? To me, the risks are similar. I chose to let you and Bruning go to investigate the secret gathering of the Holy Guards together, mainly to observe them closely so that I can make an accurate judgment. Otherwise, if you only let that guy named Bruning come back to tell me the investigation process, I am afraid that I will make a wrong judgment."

Hearing this, He Zhou immediately replied: "Don't worry about this matter. Bruning is from the military and has rich experience. He was doing reconnaissance work back then."

"is it?"

Huang Yu was still not willing to give up.

He Zhou said: "Don't worry, this guy is not simple. I have fallen into his hands before."

Of course Bruning had the ability, otherwise he would not have become the supreme commander of the military.

Therefore, He Zhou is confident enough in Bruning's ability.

On the contrary, Masha's strength is obviously much weaker than Bruning's.

Masha is stronger than Bruning only in terms of strength, but he is far inferior in terms of experience and so on.

What's more, Masha is now an aggregate of evil god fragments.

"Not much to say, what did you gain from today's trip to the Holy Palace?"

He Zhou stopped dwelling on the previous topic and asked.

Huang Yu replied, "The Holy Palace is almost the same as before, and you have been to very few places, so I can't draw any useful conclusions. In fact, you also know that the biggest variable in the Holy Palace now is the new Holy Lord, but we didn't see her today, so there is no useful conclusion."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." He Zhou changed the subject.

Huang Yu was right. I didn’t meet the new Holy Lord today, so there was very little useful information and there was nothing to talk about.

At this moment, I should quickly think of a way to deal with Joanna tomorrow.

Huang Yu couldn't help with any of this.

After all, Huang Yu and Joanna had never met.

The Joanna I met today is just one side of her, and tomorrow I might see another side of her.

Therefore, He Zhou had no hope for Huang Yu.

"Go to sleep."

He Zhou lay down on the bed and left the red jade on the table.

Huang Yu didn't say much and just thought about things.

He Zhou also began to think about meeting Joanna tomorrow.

Time flies to the next day.

Early in the morning, He Zhou got up from bed and walked to the window to look at the street view outside.

Huang Yu said, "I thought of something last night."

"what's up?"

He Zhou turned around and asked.

Huang Yu replied: "I thought last night that if the Holy Guards really rebelled, it might be the former Holy Master who was behind it."

"Oh?" He Zhou asked doubtfully, "Is there anything difficult about this inference?"

Any thought would associate the original Holy Lord with this matter.

After all, it was he who was deprived of the throne, not the holy guards under him.

The Holy Guards merely changed their master, but the original Holy Master lost his supreme power.

In comparison, the original Holy Lord definitely had more motivation to rebel.

So, this conclusion is easy to come to.

But from what Huang Yu said, it seemed like he had been thinking about it for the whole night, which was a bit strange.

He Zhou felt there was something wrong.

Huang Yu explained: "You don't understand. The Holy Lord seems to have great power, but I told you before that the Holy City exists to suppress the alien planes, and the Holy Lord is the first person to perform this duty. Therefore, the pressure on the Holy Lord is very great. After leaving office, he actually gave up this responsibility."

"You mean, the former Holy Lord is eager to have his position replaced?"

He Zhou asked.

"That's not the case." Huang Yu denied, "What I mean is that even if the original Holy Lord was replaced, he might not want to take back the position. This doesn't make sense in theory."

"Do you know his character?"

He Zhou asked again.

"Of course I understand. It's because of that that I feel he has no chance of rebelling. But after thinking about it carefully last night, I feel he still has the possibility of rebelling." Huang Yu replied.

"Why do you say that?" He Zhou asked curiously.

Huang Yu replied: "Based on my understanding of the former Holy Lord, although he does not value power very much and has no rebellious nature, he is very obsessed with strength. Therefore, he may want to steal power from the new Holy Lord."

"I see."

He Zhou nodded slightly.

"So according to what you said, the whole thing was led by the original Holy Lord, rather than the Holy Guards wanting to rebel because they were dissatisfied with the new Holy Lord?"

"That's right. The Holy Guards don't have that much self-motivation."

"understood."

He Zhou nodded again.

Huang Yu added: "Anyway, let's wait for that guy named Bruning to come back after investigating. It's hard to draw any conclusions now."

He Zhou heard this and said, "Yes, perhaps all this is just an illusion."

Bruning just mentioned this yesterday, but there is no strong evidence to prove it.

Besides, he himself said that he would come to a conclusion only after further investigation today.

It can be seen that the whole matter is still unknown.

He Zhou didn't think any more and picked up the red jade on the table.

It’s getting late now, we should hurry to the Holy Palace to take a look.

I hope the Joanna I meet today is the real person, not a copy.

He Zhou prayed like this in his heart.

After leaving the hotel, He Zhou walked straight towards the Holy Palace.

He didn't stop at all and went straight to the gate of the Holy Palace.

The guard at the door already knew him, and also learned from Joanna that He Zhou would come again today, so he did not stop him.

He Zhou successfully entered the Holy Palace.

When he got inside, he was still greeted by the same woman from yesterday.

"Mr. He Zhou, please wait a moment. Lady Joanna has gone out for something."

The woman came up and said to He Zhou.

He Zhou asked: "When will you be back?"

In fact, he didn't really care about the time when Joanna would come back. What he cared about most was whether the returning Joanna was the original or a copy.

If it was a clone, then he didn't even want to see it.

After all, Joanna's copy was aloof and wouldn't say much to him.

But the essence is different.

"I'll probably be back at noon. Mr. He Zhou, please wait here for a while."

The woman said to He Zhou apologetically.

After thinking about it, He Zhou nodded to show that he understood.

It would be impossible to ask the other party whether Joanna today is the real person or a copy.

So there is no need to ask more questions, just wait patiently for Joanna to come back.

When she comes back, she will naturally know whether it is the original or a copy.

Without saying anything more, He Zhou walked straight towards a seat.

He planned to wait for Joanna to come back in the lobby on the first floor of the Holy Palace.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Huang Yu asked, "Can you meet her other personality today?"

Huang Yu also knew what He Zhou was thinking.

Like the Joanna clone he met yesterday, he also felt that it was difficult to get along with, so he thought He Zhou must want to meet Joanna's real body.

"It all depends on the situation."

He Zhou replied.

For those who come into contact with the evil god, the replica is often the one who has the final say.

First of all, the clone is very powerful, while the original body is just an ordinary person.

Secondly, the replica's personality is stronger.

This was the case when he was still in contact with the evil god.

Therefore, the decision of how Joanna will appear is mainly in the hands of her clone.

"Anything else you want to say?"

He Zhou asked.

"No, I'm still thinking about the rebellion of the Holy Guards."

Jaune replied.

"Then you figure it out first."

He Zhou said no more.

Now I still have to wait patiently until noon.

Time passes minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon.

Joanna returned on time and appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the Holy Palace.
