Take a game to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 406

In this world, if there is anything that can drive Xu You and make him forget his righteousness when he sees it, then there is probably only one word that can be used as a great responsibility, and that is "wealth".

Xu You's obsession with money has gone beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For him, as long as there are enough benefits, he will dare to do it even if he is risking the world and let him be crowned the throne.

Of course, everything is under the premise that there is no danger to life, and the so-called money must be in place.

Therefore, it is obvious that Yuan Tan was kidnapped. It was the Xiliang army who used the benefits to lure Xu You to rebel, and then used him to capture Yuan Tan as a bargaining chip in exchange for threatening Yuan Shao to retreat and order the Eighteenth Route princes The coalition forces fell apart.

"What? You did it all? How dare you?" Yuan Tan's face was in disbelief. He stared at Xu You with wide eyes. In his impression, Xu You could be regarded as one of his father's most loyal advisors. For one thing, he was one of the earliest counselors who followed Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao relied on him very much. What about the enemy?
"Xu You! You shameless villain! You are greedy for profit! Aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world!"

Yuan Tan gritted his teeth in hatred, he wished he could pounce on Xu You's meat, he hated this kind of food that was eaten inside and out the most in his life, he wished he could eat his flesh and bones!It's a pity that because of the restraint of the rope, Yuan Tan could only stare at Xu You fiercely, and there was nothing he could do about him.

"Haha? The ridicule of the world?" Xu You smiled coldly. It seemed that Yuan Tan's words had stimulated him and made him feel very ridiculous. With disdain, he smiled and said: "Huh! Sneering is like bullshit to me, Xu You! What's the use of people's sneering? Can it be eaten as food? Can it be drunk as water?" He seemed to be more excited in his heart as he spoke. The expression on the face became more and more cold and resentful: "Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan! Do you know what I, Xu You, like best? What do I want?"

Yuan Tan looked at Xu You in astonishment, forgot to speak for a while, and fell into silence looking at this middle-aged man who suddenly became agitated.

"Hmph! What I, Xu You, like is money! Shining and shining gold! It's gold!" Xu You's expression became more and more frenzied, with a hideous expression on his face, "But what about him, Yuan Shao? He didn't give me anything, not even what I deserved. Those were not given to me either, huh—it’s ridiculous, he would spend so much gold in exchange for the life of you trash! Really.”

Xu You talked more and more, and Yuan Tan became more startled when he heard it. He didn't expect that Xu You would resent Yuan Shao because of what happened last time, and he didn't expect Xu You to be so greedy for money. He was bought by others, and he also gave them a big gift by the way.

That's right, it was a gift. Originally, according to the plan of Li Ru and others, they just wanted to buy some information and recruit some counselors who were alienated from Yuan Shao, but unexpectedly, Xu You who was recruited couldn't help being happy. I joined them, and in the process of joining, I made a very constructive suggestion.

"Xu You! Let me go! Otherwise, I will never let you go!" Xu You had finished speaking, and Yuan Tan had heard enough. You, yelled sharply with a gloomy face, as if he could violently hurt people in an instant, threatening Xu You.

"Heh——" Xu You shook his head, stared at Yuan Tan with an idiot's eyes, and didn't feel moved at all. Instead, he smiled mockingly, and stretched out his fingers to shake in front of his eyes.

"You!" Yuan Tan wanted to say something, but was soon interrupted by the sound of footsteps, and after the chaotic footsteps resounded, a group of burly men in fine steel armor surrounded a group. An elegant and extraordinary Confucian scholar in a white robe walked in.

"Ah! Master Li Ru, are you here?"

Seeing the person coming, Xu You quickly stood up from the chair, and said to the person flatteringly, while he was talking, he walked to the person's side and whispered a few words, which made the person nod and gesture repeatedly.

"En! I see, Mr. Ziyuan, thank you so much! You have really helped us a lot!"

Xu You's contribution was very useful to Li Ru, because before that, he never thought that Xu You would bring Yuan Tan with him on the way to join them, so the reason why he came this time is also Because of this, come and see what the famous son of Yuan Shao looks like.

"Hehe, of course!" Xu You obviously didn't have any humility. He heard Li Ru's praise, and there was a smug expression on his face, and he said with a smile, "But Mr. Li Ru, look , although I said that Yuan Tan is a meeting gift from me to you, but it was also done with Ziyuan's painstaking efforts, do you think it should be."

Xu You didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was very obvious, greedy in his eyes, and he smiled all over again.

"Hehe, I know everything, Mr. Ziyuan, don't worry!" Li Runai is Dong Zhuo's number one think tank, so he naturally saw what Xu You meant. The guard gestured twice, then turned around, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Ziyuan, I can't repay you for your great service. How about this? I'll turn over the reward that I discussed with you before." I will give you a total of twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, do you think this is good?"

"Ah? Twenty boxes!" Xu You was taken aback. He didn't expect the other party to offer such a price. He suddenly lost his composure. The expression on his face changed rapidly, as if he was thinking about something. Three seconds later, His face gradually calmed down, and he said in a seemingly calm but excited tone: "Hehehe, this is naturally good, naturally good! Then I will trouble Mr. Li Ru!"

Greed is the most primitive desire of human beings. Xu You's greed is even worse. His obsession with gold and silver wealth has reached a level of insanity. If it weren't for this, he would never have betrayed Yuan Shao just because of ten boxes of gold and silver. , after all, these ten boxes of gold, silver and jewels are not a small amount, and they are almost piled up into mountains. For a shabby literati like him, this is an earth-shattering treasure. Now that these shocking treasures have doubled, he is naturally happy It was so terrible that he even wanted to rush up and kiss Li Ru hard.

After a moment of burning incense, when Li Ru had asked all the questions, he turned around and left without feeling satisfied. Apparently he thought that he had no meaning here anymore, so he might as well go back to the front line and continue to observe the other party. situation to avoid being taken advantage of.

However, even though Li Ru left here, there are still other people who are still sticking here to guard Yuan Tan, such as Xu You. Yuan Tan is now an important bargaining chip in their hands. , that would be troublesome.

Therefore, in order to prevent trouble from happening, Li Ru made a rough calculation and left Xu You here, continuing to monitor Yuan Tan's every move.

After all, for a greedy person, as long as the profit is enough, he can do anything, and Xu You, who is extremely greedy, is the best candidate. With him, Li Ru can leave without any worries. Because he knew that as long as the benefits he gave were enough, Xu You would naturally be obedient and guard Yuan Tan, and he would definitely do his duty, so he didn't have to worry at all.
