In the outer courtyard of the Codeniz Manor, there are several small buildings specially prepared for entertaining guests, although much more modest than the main building of the inner courtyard, but also much more comfortable than the life outside.

In one of the small buildings, Tang Juyi was leisurely enjoying the wine sent by the servants in the manor, and at the same time chatting and laughing with the guard captain Ryan.

"As you requested, we faced all the people who came to inquire about the sculpture, and we did not admit or deny it, but avoided it. But I'm curious, why would you make such a request? ”

Ryan wanted to know Tang Juyi's thoughts, so he couldn't help but ask.

Tang Juyi shook the wine glass in his hand very comfortably, but asked rhetorically:

"Captain, you should have a lot of eyeliner in Nancheng District, right? Tell me, what's changed there and before? ”

Ryan doesn't hide:

"As far as we know, there are suddenly a lot more people going to the blockade in the southern city, the vast majority of them outsiders, and a small number of Bosh and Frenza...... What's even more interesting is that they had a lot of conflicts with the gods and believers in Nancheng District, and some of them died under the siege of those sea monsters. ”

Tang Juyi asked with a smile:

"Isn't that very clear to you? Then you still ask me? ”

Ryan smiled a little awkwardly:

"I know you're trying to lure those people to the southern part of the city so that they can deal with the dangers over there...... I just can't figure out why they keep coming over one after another. After all, the story of the sculpture from the sea monster's lair is unrealistic......"

Tang Juyi felt funny, so he continued to ask:

"Unrealistic, right? Okay, I ask you, did that message come from the mouth of a group of people, or from a single person? ”

Ryan thought a little:

"Isn't that the blacksmith? He's just a man. ”

Tang Juyi nodded:

"Well, so that message was obtained for free, or did it cost to get it?"

Ryan is honest:

"Three bullets, I've heard of this."

The smile on Tang Juyi's face became brighter and brighter:

"Then think about it, did the people who sent out the news not refuse to come, or did they not want to disclose it when there were many people who asked?"

A look of sudden realization gradually appeared on Ryan's dark face:

"I know, it's because most people don't know that the news can be called a secret, and it can only be obtained at a cost, which makes it even more true, and if it's just to cheat money and make it up, then there's no need to refuse the person who wants to find out later......"

Tang Juyi stretched comfortably:

"Plus, this sculpture just explains why you're sending people to Nancheng and why you want to recruit outsiders...... And Sirius's side is no longer in business, and it has cut off the idea of those people's second verification, so the more bizarre this news is, the more unique it will be. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Juyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"When a person spreads false news, it can only be for profit, and the closure of Cyris has made those people mistakenly believe that he is not making up stories for profit, so there is only one possibility to lead to - this news is true."

Ryan was thoughtful, but quickly noticed one more thing:

"But if anyone were cautious enough to consider that Syreth was instructed to do so, wouldn't they have acted rashly? In that case, all you can fool is a bunch of people who don't have that many hearts. ”

Tang Juyi immediately laughed:

"Isn't that good? Clever and cautious people saw that this was a hoax, so they wouldn't go to Nancheng to join in the fun, and the not-so-clever reckless man helped me fight to the death in front of me, what a wonderful situation it must be? ”

Ryan's eyes gradually changed, as he finally realized Tang Juyi's intentions:

"I see...... You didn't set up this game to lure outsiders to the southern part of the city, your purpose was to stop the more difficult opponents in the first place, the ones who saw it was a hoax! ”

Tang Juyi clapped his hands with satisfaction that Ryan had figured out the key:

"Yes, it's better to be able to compete with fools who are lucky, impulsive, and eager for good luck to befall you, and it's better to compete with smart people who are clear-minded, vigilant, and logically rigorous and quick, right?"

Looking out the window, Tang Juyi's smile gradually dissipated:

"I suppose that since you have sent outsiders to the waters of the southern city several times, your actions must have been known to the people of Florence and Bosh to some extent...... In other words, when I go to Nancheng this time, there is a high probability that I will do it under their noses. ”

"If I'm unlucky enough, someone from that group of outsiders has already spoken to someone from the França or Bosh family, and they'll know who I am......

Ryan is also aware of the seriousness of the problem:

"They're going to do it to you?"

Tang Juyi thought thoughtfully:

"I won't do it directly, but the way should be similar to yours, which is to find a suitable outsider, and put aside all relationships, and let them act in their own name. It was because of this in mind that I had just laid out this game a day in advance to confuse them. ”

Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the seat, Tang Juyi's eyes had a dark color flow:

"Those outsiders who can get into a relationship with the other two families are, without exception, capable people, who will not be swayed by the deception I have set up, but will only watch my actions...... So I didn't intend to fool them. I asked Cyris to tell that story, just to drain the dangers lurking in Southtown, and by the way, weed out the other part of the smart people who remained neutral. ”

"As for the outsiders sent by Bosh and Frenza, I have another way to divert their attention."

When he said this, Tang Juyi suddenly asked:

"The woman named Amir, you've figured out where she is, haven't you? As long as there are no problems in this link, then the next situation is under control. ”

Ryan nodded:

"You're talking about that prophet, right? We tried to get her to live in the manor, but she refused. From the information we have received, it seems that she has formed a very deep friendship with some of the inhabitants, among whom there are many decent nobles, who do not have the same family fortune as ours, but who are quite powerful. ”

Tang Juyi was not surprised:

"Refused? This is normal, after all, dealing with you is equivalent to being exposed to the eyes of several others, although the resources enjoyed are very superior, but the disadvantages are also great. She is friendly with those ordinary nobles, but she can keep a low profile and borrow a lot of resources. ”

Ryan hesitated, but chose to ask:

"May I ask? Mr. Tang Bujuyi? Since you think that intersecting with us will be detrimental, why did you choose to help us? ”

Tang Juyi glanced at Ryan:

"Why? Because I don't think the other two pieces are a threat to me. ”
