Within Xiao Mo's military camp, Crown Prince Qin Jingsu, Xiao Yang, and the others had complicated feelings after learning what had transpired in the Zhao Kingdom.
Bai Qi's death was an immense loss for the Qin Kingdom.
It would have been better for Bai Qi to redeem himself through future service than to die for nothing by performing a military self-dissolution.

It wasn't that they couldn't understand Bai Qi's thoughts.

This defeat was a devastating blow to him.

When Bai Qi commanded, military law was absolute, applied to all without favoritism.
Therefore, because he had made a military pledge, he believed that since the city had fallen, he had to atone for the failure with his life, as dictated by military law.
