Who put the yellow robe on me?

Xian Yulinyuan raised his head, his eyes sincere: "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, I beg you to spare General Mammon."

Jiang Chen pretended to be embarrassed, frowning slightly: "This is not easy to deal with, General Xianyu, you have to know that he killed many of our Daliang brothers!"

There were still traces of battle on Xianyu Linyuan's armor, and blood was oozing from the wound on his shoulder, but he seemed to ignore it and just looked at Jiang Chen earnestly.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, I know about this, but... I beg you to let General Mammon go." Xianyu Linyuan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of expectation.

Jiang Chen turned his head and his gaze lingered on Xian Yu Linyuan's face for a moment.

His expression remained calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"General Xianyu, if General Mammon can surrender to me, then he will be a soldier of Daliang." Jiang Chen said slowly, his voice calm and powerful, as if stating an indisputable fact.

"I, Jiang Chen, will not kill our own soldiers. Even if this soldier has made mistakes before, he is able to correct them!"

His words echoed in the air with a convincing force. The soldiers around him watched this scene silently, and no one dared to make a sound.

Zhong Xiaodan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard Jiang Chen's words.

He thought to himself, "The Sixteenth Prince has come up with this idea of recruiting talented people again. He is still the same Sixteenth Prince who is always eager to recruit talented people."

However, General Mammon did not appreciate it.

He was being escorted by two soldiers. Although he was dressed in rags, he had a stubborn look on his face. His eyes burned with anger, and he made no secret of his hatred for Daliang.

"Bah! You bastard from Daliang, I will never surrender to Daliang even if I die!" General Mammon said gritting his teeth, his voice full of anger and contempt.

His spit flew out and landed on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Xian Yu Linyuan was extremely embarrassed, and the color on his face gradually faded.

He thought to himself: "Damn it! I'm here begging for you, but you just say it and let all my efforts go to waste." He looked at Mammon with a look mixed with anger, but also a little helplessness.

When Jiang Chen heard Mammon's insults, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness.

"Alright!" Jiang Chen sneered, his voice low and cold, as if coming from the abyss, "Come here, execute Mammon by slow slicing!"

"Yes!" Zuo Yongyu heard the order and took a step forward without hesitation, the long sword in his hand flashing with a cold light. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had already reached the point of no return after hearing Mammon's insults.

Xianyu Linyuan was very anxious when he saw this. He knew that if he didn't stop it now, Mammon would surely die.

He suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Chen. The sound of his knees hitting the ground was clearly audible, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, please show some mercy!" Xian Yulinyuan's voice choked with sobs, tears welling in his eyes. "I have been friends with General Mammon for many years. I hope Your Highness, Prince of Yan, can show some mercy!"

Jiang Chen looked down at Xian Yu Linyuan who was kneeling in front of him, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He knew the deep friendship between Mammon and Xianyu Linyuan, and he also knew how he should handle this matter.

In fact, Jiang Chen had already considered the pros and cons.

This Mammon was different from Xianyu Linyuan. When he designed the "choose one of two" strategy, Xianyu Linyuan was a discarded pawn, who was voluntarily given up by the Western Regions. Therefore, to subdue Xianyu Linyuan, he only needed to settle his family.

It is estimated that the Western Region gave up Xianyu Linyuan, on the one hand because of Lord Ji's obstruction, and on the other hand, it wanted to take him back by appeasing his family, but I got there first.

Mammon was rescued by the Western Regions because he had to choose between the two. The life-saving grace was like a reborn parent, so it is estimated that it will not be possible to subdue him in a short time.

Instead of killing him, it is better to do Xianyu Linyuan a favor, so that Xianyu Linyuan will be more loyal to him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen pretended to be in deep thought, with his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes wandering.

His fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of the sword at his waist, making a slight "tapping" sound, as if he was thinking about something.

The surrounding soldiers held their breath, awaiting His Highness's decision. The tension in the air was so suffocating that even the distant wind seemed to have stopped.

After a long moment, Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at Xianyu Linyuan, his tone slightly embarrassed: "General Xianyu, you also know that Mammon killed many of our soldiers. I absolutely cannot release him."

Xianyu Linyuan's heart tightened, knowing that things were not optimistic.

He lowered his head, his voice slightly hoarse: "Your Highness, although Mammon made mistakes, he is just stubborn. I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for his."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised.

His gaze lingered on Xian Yulinyuan's face for a moment, and he noticed the firmness and determination in his eyes.

"Someone come here!" Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

"Here!" Zuo Yongyu and Zhou Liangwei stepped forward at the same time, their voices loud and clear.

Jiang Chen looked at Mammon with a cold gaze: "Imprison Mammon in Xizhou Prison and execute him in three days."

"Yes!" Zuo Yongyu responded and signaled the soldiers to take Mamon away.

"Wait!" Xian Yu Linyuan said anxiously, his eyes full of despair.

Jiang Chen continued, "Xianyu Linyuan has repeatedly pleaded with outsiders to strip him of his position as logistics commander. Effective immediately, he will be demoted to the position of Governor of Xizhou, responsible for patrolling Xizhou City day and night, guarding the prison, etc."

Xianyu Linyuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He knew that he was bound to be punished, but for Mammon, he was willing to accept it.

When he wanted to say something else, Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently!

"Take him away!" Jiang Chen turned around and did not meet Xianyu Linyuan's gaze.

The soldiers stepped forward and took Mammon and Xianyu Linyuan away together.

Mammon was being escorted and looked back at Xianyu Linyuan, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

On the battlefield, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, and the clouds in the sky were stained a deep purple. A chill filled the air, foreshadowing the arrival of night.

Jiang Chen stood there, watching them leave. At this moment, Generals Zhong Wenbin and Zhong Xiaodan came forward.

"Your Highness the Sixteenth Prince still can't bear to part with Mammon?" Zhong Wenbin smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Jiang Chen turned around and saw that they were the two generals he trusted most. He knew that none of his actions could be hidden from their eyes, so he simply decided not to play dumb with them.

"Yes, General," Jiang Chen smiled calmly, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "Instead of doing this, it would be better to do Xian Yu Linyuan a favor."

Zhong Xiaodan smiled and shook his head: "Sixteenth Prince, I'm afraid General Mammon won't accept your favor when the time comes."

Jiang Chen shrugged and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. As long as Xianyu Linyuan is willing to appreciate it, it's enough."
