When Qiao Jing saw Xing Ji, he was talking to Bai Yang. Qi Jiang, Qi Jun, and Ren Dong were also there.
"Ah Jing, your timing is impeccable," Xing Ji looked up at Qiao Jing, "You've been leading the front for several days now. Even if you're uninjured, you need some rest. I'm discussing with Bai Yang about letting him lead the troops out of the city for the battle tomorrow. What do you think?"
Qiao Jing nodded. "I have no objection," he announced. He came to atone for past mistakes, but was not eager for glory. He had sparred with Bai Yang before, and while his martial arts skills were superior, Bai Yang was more than capable of contending Liang Country's generals. Moreover, Bai Yang had openly confessed his error and expressed a desire to redeem himself by requesting to be deployed when necessary.
