Wang Zebang said he left someone at the foot of the mountain who would immediately return to report if the general was spotted. Furthermore, although the general had become a Gu person without the ability to think, his physical instincts were still intact. If he was hungry or thirsty, he would find food and water on his own. Moreover, if he encountered any rare birds or beasts, it was uncertain who would be in danger.
Wang Zebang and his group were interrogating Leqi about the situation, but Leqi seemed to know they wouldn't kill him, so he swallowed a pain-free Gu. No matter how they tortured him, he refused to reveal anything about "Phoenix Tears".
His purpose was clearly to buy time, to wait until Yuwen Sheng's Gu poison invaded his brain and there was no possibility of him waking up again, or perhaps to wait for the opportunity for him to escape.
Indeed, his actions left Wang Zebang and his men at a loss as to what to do with Leqi. Torture him, but it didn't hurt him much, and they couldn't really kill him. When Zheng Quchi learned of this situation, she pondered for a moment and then found Le Tai, whom she had kidnapped.

Although Le Tai was young, he was not stupid: "You can't make the decision. Besides, Wa doesn't know how to solve it. Only Waada knows. He is the only one in the world who knows."
There might be some exaggeration in that statement, but right now there really isn't time to slowly look for others, so we can only pin our hopes on Lech.
Zheng Quchi stepped forward and squatted down in front of Letai: "Letai, they don't know your identity yet, but if they use you to threaten your Ada, do you think he would compromise for your sake?"
“…No, it won’t.” Letai lowered his head.
"Why?"
“Because the Kezhu tribe has a loyal faith, Ada will not betray that faith,” Letai said with certainty.
