There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant smiled and stretched out his finger, and said to Yuan Tan, "Come on, pull the hook."

Yuan Tan stared blankly at the potter's little finger: "What do you mean by that?"

The pottery merchant chuckled and said, "This is the most honest oath in the world. Gentlemen of the present world all make oaths in this way."

Yuan Tan suddenly realized, and immediately hooked up with the potter, and secretly reminded himself in his heart that he should read more books in the future, and read good books. It's like a fool who has to be tutored.

While the two were talking, Pei Qian came outside the pavilion.

The pottery merchant got up and walked over, but he heard Pei Qian whisper: "Teacher, Xu You, the emissary from Hebei, has arrived in Pengcheng and wants to see the tutor."

Chapter 489 Hebei Messenger Xu You

The potter told Yuan Tan that he had something to do, so he left first.

As a prisoner, Yuan Tan naturally didn't ask more questions, but just let the pottery do what he wanted.

The pottery merchant then changed his clothes and received the envoy from Yecheng in the conference hall.

Xu You was one of the eight most important conspirators under Yuan Shao's command. Before Yuan Tan was captured alive, he had already been appointed by Yuan Shao to be fully responsible for communicating with pottery merchants and being responsible for the redemption of Yuan Tan.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao was a little out of touch this time.

For more than three months, Xu You has not acted, and the reason is very despicable.

The pottery dealer kept sending money to Xu You through the Mi family.

Xu You was also hesitant at first, but the magic power and temptation of money was too great for him. After repeated shocks to his heart, he finally took the money from Xuzhou people.

Because in his mind, Xuzhou people would not dare to kill Yuan Tan. After all, although the potters occupy the southeast half of the country, Yuan Shao's overall strength is still several times stronger than his, especially the soldiers in the north are tall and strong, brave and good at fighting, and there are so many horses. Yuan Shao was angered, and the soldiers from Hebei went south. How could the potters resist this thunderous blow?

Based on this, Xu You secretly collected the money and secretly delayed the time.

But today, it is almost the end of the year, Xu You really can't delay any longer.

He kept telling Yuan Shao that rescuing the eldest son was an important matter, and it had to be taken seriously. If he acted hastily, the gain would not be worth the loss, so he had to be well-prepared.

This reason has lasted until now, and it can no longer be used.

No matter how well-prepared you are, how can you prepare for next year?

At this time, Xu You had no choice but to go out in person, and came to see the potter in a busy manner.

In the hall, apart from the potter and Xu You, only Pei Qian accompanied the potter.

The pottery merchant smiled tacitly at Xu You, and said directly: "Some time ago, Mi's shop prepared a year-end congratulatory gift for Mr. Xu to go to Yecheng. Now that Mr. Xu has come in person That's right, it's just right to take them back together, and it will save our Xuzhou people a lot of work."

It has always been Mi Zhu's firm that gave gifts to Xu You, but Xu You naturally knows who the real mastermind behind the scenes is.

But Xu You wasn't afraid at all, he wasn't afraid that the potter would harm him if he turned around.

Xu You was extremely secretive about receiving gifts from Dow, and even those who secretly handled things for him were dealt with by him recently.

Moreover, a large amount of money has been transferred by him, which can be said to be unknown, and there is no proof of death.

"Teacher was joking. If you go back with things like this, how can the general be tolerant? The tutor is deliberately not wanting to give me a gift."

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

After the laughter, the pottery merchant asked Xu You, "I don't know if Mr. Ziyuan is sincere to your general?"

Xu You straightened his back, straightened his face, and said: "Of course I am loyal. You are loyal to the general. The world can learn from it. I will be a minister of Yuan's family in this life, and a ghost of Yuan's family in death."

The pottery merchant suddenly said "Oh", and said: "Since Mr. Ziyuan is so benevolent and righteous to the general, why did he take Tao's money again? Is it possible that he is not afraid of delaying the general's important affairs."

Xu You smiled, and said: "You can earn money, and you deserve loyalty! After all, the Taifu dare not kill the eldest son because of the situation in Xuzhou. Now, he doesn't want to offend the general's beard, so as not to attract the attention of the general." Overthrowing disaster, Grand Tutor, am I right?"

The potter's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu You, an old boy, does have some skills, quick response, scheming, and clear thinking. Just based on the few words he chatted just now, the pottery merchant knows that his skills should not be inferior to Chen Deng's, at least not too much lower.

The potter's mind was running fast, and he expected that Xu You was here to ask for someone.

But on the one hand, he had to come up with the most beneficial countermeasures, and on the other hand, he had to find a way to find out Yuan Shao's bottom line through Xu You.

Seeing that the pottery merchant frowned and bowed his head without speaking, Xu You showed a smug smile and said, "Teacher, what Xu said is not bad, right?"

The pottery merchant sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "Brother Xu guessed wrong, I am a little sorry for you. When drinking with Yuan Tan last night, that bastard quarreled with Tao, and Tao was drunk for a while, playing crazy I ordered someone to cut Yuan Tan off, and now I am thinking about how to deal with this matter."

Xu You's face suddenly turned livid.

"Teacher, don't make fun of me!"

The pottery merchant cupped his hands at Xu You and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry for your coming. Give me Yuan Tan's head."

Pei Qian has been with the pottery merchant for a long time, and he is thoughtful, knowing that the pottery merchant is fooling people, but he is also pretending to arrange it.

Seeing Xu You staggering, he collapsed limply on the spot, almost kneeling down to the potter.

"Xu Gong, what's wrong with you?" Tao Shang wondered.

Xu You pointed tremblingly at the potter, his eyes were blood red, he gritted his teeth and said, "You, you tiger! Mr. Xiansi is the eldest son of the great general. Although he has no relatives, he is also of the same flesh and blood. You killed him , are you not afraid that the general will raze your Xuzhou to the ground in the spring of next year, leaving no chickens or dogs behind?"

The potter shrugged his shoulders casually, and said, "Didn't I tell you that I killed him while drinking? I didn't mean it either."

When Xu You heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the ground.

"Dignified as the Imperial Tutor! Why are you so self-willed? It's nothing, why are you drinking so much! You can't go back to bed early!"

The pottery merchant smiled helplessly, and said: "If you kill it, you will kill it. There is nothing you can do if you regret it. Anyway, Yuan Shao will send troops to Xuzhou in the future. Whether I kill Yuan Tan or not, it will not change the ending of Xuzhou at all. Yuan Shao will always attack me. I'm going to burn everything this time."

Xu You stared angrily: "You can think about it! But what about me? Xu is in charge of negotiating the exchange with the Taifu. Are you acting like this, and you are dragging me as a backstop?!"

The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "I'll let you die."

Xu You wants to cry but has no tears.

Seeing the anger shooting out of Xu You's wide-eyed eyes, and the sad expression of being lost.Tao Shang is happy.

"I am teasing you."

Xu You: ""

"Young Master Yuan is still drinking in my mansion. He is safe and sound. We just had a drink just now. I just saw that Mr. Wang is so confident about me and deliberately scares you. Please don't blame Mr. Ziyuan."

Xu You's face turned red all of a sudden.

Just now he said triumphantly that the pottery merchant didn't dare to kill Yuan Tan, but in the end, he just put on a play and scared the fart of himself.
