When Qi Sheng and Song Qingdan returned to the camp, Li Sheng welcomed them with a broad smile and said, "Congratulations to you both." Song Qingdan gave a slight nod and immediately said, "General Li, I am willing to stay in the army, but I have three wishes." Li Sheng waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Speak freely."
Song Qingdan calmly stated, "First, I do not wish to go into battle to kill the enemy myself; second, I hope to serve as an instructor and teach martial arts to the soldiers; third, I have some knowledge of medicine and hope to do my part in treating the wounded. Furthermore, I earnestly request that you arrange ten young women for me, as I wish to teach them the art of medicine."
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng secretly marveled to himself. Not only were these conditions entirely reasonable, but they also solved the lingering worries in his heart. He laughed heartily and said, "Very well, I agree."
