When Yuan Nanyu said that he wanted to follow Yan Sikong to Pingliang, the soldiers were filled with indignation and knelt down to beg Yuan Nanyu, unwilling to leave.

Yan Sikong, standing aside, could feel the daggers in his eyes threatening to shave him alive.

Yuan Nanyu was deeply moved by the soldiers' loyalty and willingness to live and die together with him. He felt even more guilty and self-blamed. He had no choice but to take out the military token and order the general to lead the soldiers down the mountain.

After watching the soldiers leave, Yuan Nanyu allowed Chen Yi's guards to tie him up.

On the way down the mountain, Yuan Nanyu asked in a low voice: "How is Big Brother?"

When Yan Sikong mentioned this person, he couldn't hide his disgust: "Do you still care about his life or death?"

Yuan Nanyu smiled bitterly: "I heard that he was captured. What happened to him?"

"In Pingliang Prison."

"He..." Yuan Nanyu hesitated for a long time, and finally this "he" also fit the context.

Yan Sikong glanced at him and said, "He forged military orders and led his soldiers into an ambush and suffered a disastrous defeat. He also implicated you. He should be punished according to military law."

Yuan Nanyu remained silent.

"If none of you were captured now, how would you deal with him?" Yan Sikong stared at Yuan Nanyu.

Yuan Nanyu whispered, "According to military law, he should be killed."

"Since you know that, just treat him as a dead man."

"Sikong." Yuan Nanyu gritted his teeth and said, "But he is my eldest brother after all. If you can save me, can you..."

"No." Yan Sikong said coldly, "Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether he lives or dies."

Yuan Nanyu looked at himself and realized that he could not save himself. He also knew that it was useless to say more, so he sighed deeply and said no more.

When they got down the mountain, Qu Jiao was waiting for them with the escort soldiers.

When he saw Yuan Nanyu, Qu Jiao dismounted and said politely, "General Que, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary and brave."

"How can a defeated general talk about heroism? General Qu is the one who has lifted him up." Yuan Nanyu said expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, General. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still waiting for you. Please go on your way."

Qu Jiao locked Yuan Nanyu in the prison car, and Yan Sikong also mounted his horse. Their eyes met, and Yan Sikong nodded gently at him and gave him a soothing look.

Along the way, Yan Sikong was thinking about how to deal with Chen Yu and Shen Hexuan. When they met Yuan Nanyu, they would most likely want to see the true face under the mask. If the true face was revealed, both brothers would be doomed. Only by keeping the identities of the two a secret, he would be able to send Yuan Nanyu away.

Therefore, no matter what, we cannot let them take off Yuan Nanyu's mask.

In less than half a day, they returned to Pingliang. Under the gaze of the soldiers and civilians in the city, Yuan Nanyu was imprisoned in a prisoner's cart and passed through the city gates and streets. The crowds of onlookers crowded on both sides of the road, talking loudly about the mysterious mask. It can be imagined that in a few days, the news that Feng Ye's first general, the masked general Que Wang, was captured by the King of Chu, will spread throughout the world, which will be a greater blow to Feng Ye than losing Pingliang.

Qu Jiao personally escorted Yuan Nanyu to Chen Yi. It was already late at night, but Chen Yi, Shen Hexuan and several officers were all waiting to see his true face.

Seeing Yuan Nanyu, Chen Yi's face was filled with elation. At this time, he was sitting in Pingliang, which once belonged to Feng Ye. The most important general of Feng Ye was tied up in front of him. He had severely crushed Feng Ye's ambition and increased his own prestige. In his first confrontation with Feng Ye, he won a great victory. How could he not be proud and excited?

Yan Sikong cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I will bring General Que here. General Que has never met His Highness the King of Chu."

Yuan Nanyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I have met the King of Chu."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please take a seat." After Chen Yichong finished speaking to Yan Sikong, he turned to Que Wang and smiled, "Although the general is in a mess, he is still tall and handsome. I was worried at first. With a mask on, how could I know if the person coming here is really Que Wang? Now that I see you, I feel much more relieved."

Yuan Nanyu stiffened his neck and said nothing.

Chen Yu didn't care and waved his hand: "Untie the general."

The guard untied Yuan Nanyu's rope, and Yuan Nanyu shook his sore shoulders.

"However, it is rumored that no one except Feng Ye has ever seen the general's true face. If the general really tried to replace his identity, we would have no way of knowing. So, please take off the mask and let us take a look."

Yuan Nanyu said coldly: "If I hadn't forgotten, Your Highness wouldn't be able to tell even if you looked at my face."

"That's true, but I believe you, sir." Chen Yu smiled and glanced at Yan Sikong, "The general's mask is as famous as his strategy. I want to see it, and the general will not refuse."

Everyone in the room stared at Yuan Nanyu, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Yuan Nanyu straightened his chest and stood still.

Yan Sikong didn't say anything either.

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If the general is not willing, I will not be polite. Come here."

Two guards walked over, one tried to hold Yuan Nanyu, and the other tried to take off the mask.

Yuan Nanyu suddenly attacked, kicked one man away, grabbed another man's neck with one hand, and drew out his sword with his backhand. His movements were as fast as lightning. His skills were so amazing that no one doubted whether he had forgotten.

The guards in the house drew their swords in unison, and the people outside rushed in as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Yuan Nanyu pushed the guard away and put the blade to his neck.

Chen Yu waved his hand and asked the guards to retreat. He curled his lips and looked at Que Wang with interest, as if he was playing with a beast in a cage. No matter how powerful the beast was, what could he do?

Shen Hexuan said slowly: "General, have you forgotten that you still have 3,000 prisoners in Pingliang?"

Yuan Nanyu said loudly: "When I was young, I was disfigured by an accident. My face is ugly and horrible. I am deeply ashamed of it and have been ashamed to show it to others all my life. If Your Highness insists on seeing it, I am a prisoner and cannot resist. But if I suffer such a great humiliation, I will not be able to survive. It is better for me to cut my neck right now. Your Highness can see it however he wants, and you can even hang my head on the top of the city for the world to see."

Chen Yu chuckled twice, his eyes cold and gloomy: "Okay, then apply it."

Yuan Nanyu smiled coldly and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Chen Yu looked at Yuan Nanyu deeply, "General, your suggestion is very good. I will take off your mask and hang your ugly and terrifying face on the top of the city wall to let the world know. I'm sure that rebel Feng Ye will be furious if he finds out."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help." Yuan Nanyu drew his sword and was about to attack.

"Wait." Yan Sikong said, "If he died like this, wouldn't we have let those seven thousand soldiers go in vain?"

Shen Hexuan glanced at Yan Sikong.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "As long as we can catch this man, we can let him go. After all, no matter how many soldiers we have, it can't make Feng Ye feel as distressed as this one." He smiled at Yan Sikong, "Of course, you make Feng Ye more worried." Thinking of this, he laughed happily, "The people Feng Ye cares about the most are now in my control. I haven't confronted him head-on yet, but he has already lost most of the battle."

"Your Highness is right, so..." Yan Sikong glanced at Yuan Nanyu, "Why bother him? Keeping him alive will be of great use to us. After all, Fengxiang, Qingyang and Taiyuan are all in Feng Ye's hands. It would be a pity if this man died like this."

Chen Yu chuckled and nodded: "I heard that General Que has a reputation for loyalty and righteousness. I'm afraid that he can't be easily seduced by glory and wealth. But the general is so important to Feng Ye. Feng Ye is willing to exchange Pingliang for you, so would you be willing to exchange Fengxiang or Qingyang for you?"

"The Wolf King is definitely not a fool, and I am not worth a city. Your Highness thinks too highly of me." Yuan Nanyu said calmly, "Since I came to Pingliang, I have already put life and death aside. Your Highness does not need to waste time on me."

"Whether it is a waste of time or not is no longer up to you to decide." Chen Yu pointed at Yuan Nanyu, "Your mask is your face. I will keep this face for you for now." He called, "Come here, take this traitor away and wait for your punishment."

After Yuan Nanyu was taken away, Chen Yi also dismissed his men, leaving only Yan Sikong and Shen Hexuan.

Chen Yu was in a very good mood. He took a sip of tea leisurely and asked slowly, "Gentlemen, how do you think this forgetfulness can be used best?"

Shen Hexuan asked, "Your Highness, do you really intend to exchange him for the city?"

"It's okay."

"I think it's inappropriate." Yan Sikong said.

"oh?"

"If we exchange him for Fengxiang, it would be a pity. We can take Fengxiang by ourselves, and with Pingliang, Fengxiang will be useless. If we exchange him for Qingyang, Qingyang is so important. Losing Qingyang would mean cutting off the food supply to the entire southeast. There is no way Fengye would be handed over. Therefore, this person should not be used in this way, and it is not good to use him this way."

Chen Yu nodded: "Sir, what you said makes sense. What should we do? This man is probably not going to take any soft or hard tactics. It's hard to pry even a little bit of military intelligence out of him."

Shen Hexuan said: "Your Highness, why don't you let me go meet him first? As long as he is in our hands, Feng Ye will be restless. This person must be useful."

"Okay."

Yan Sikong glanced at Shen Hexuan from a distance, feeling a little worried. Shen Hexuan was a civil official, and he would not easily resort to torture to extract a confession. He just hoped that Yuan Nanyu would not easily anger him, or at least not suffer a loss.

"By the way." Chen Yu smiled and said, "Sir, how do you plan to deal with Yuan Shaoxu?"

Yan Sikong thought for a moment and said, "I will interrogate him myself."
