Nan Yu intended to deliver the E-Country captive to the border garrison. Having gone to such great lengths to capture him, he absolutely had to extract some information from the prisoner's mouth.
However, if he were to hand over the prisoner, the military would certainly come into the mountains to verify the situation. This meant Nan Yu had to leave behind one or two corpses; there had to be a scene for people to see. Otherwise, on his word alone, they might not believe him. As for the three missing bodies, he could just say they were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains—it was perfectly normal for people who died in the mountains to be scavenged by predators.
But now, Nan Yu faced a serious problem: he did not know where the border garrison was located. He was just an ordinary citizen, and in this era where information did not travel easily, how could he possibly know the location of the military post? This left Nan Yu in a bit of a bind.
