Qin Ming was in charge of the brigands' advance post, and he was ready to accept the challenge when he saw that Li Kui with his axes had already gone forth.
On your way you will pass close to Liangshan Marsh, but if the brigands there capture you I hope that you will not join them as people would abuse your name and say that you were both disloyal and unfilial.
Seeing this Dong Ping was elated, and wished to show off his abilities further, and whipping his horse galloped after the now retreating bandits under Song Jiang.
The messenger explained that General Huyan Zhuo had been defeated at Liangshan Marsh, and was now endeavoring to retrieve his fortunes by attacking Taohua Mountain and other brigand's strongholds.
Zeng Sheng ordered his cavalry to capture Li Kui, but the brigand leaders Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and four others, also moved forward at the same time to rescue him.
The 'Supressor of Three Mountains' is here." The three bandit chiefs glared at him, and shouted, " Even if you guarded ten thousand mountains you would have to pay just the same.
At last Gong Wang was captured by Lin Chong while Yan Qing on the brigands' side took his crossbow and shot an arrow which wounded adjutant Ding Desun's horse, and he was immediately made prisoner.
After several bouts the two brigand leaders suddenly galloped away as if defeated, and in accordance with Song Jiang's previous orders the bandits upon seeing this scattered in all directions.
The adjutants Gong Wang and Ding Desun were going to take him prisoner but they were outnumbered by the brigands who rushed forward and took Xuan Zan back.
