Li Ying writes a polite letter to the Zhu family requesting that they let Shi Qian go. Rebuffed by the Zhus, Li Ying assumes they reckoned he was not serious and sends Du Xing, his top servant, to personally deliver another letter. This time the Zhus tear up the letter and verbally insult Li Ying for associating himself with bandits. Shocked, Du Xing reports the aspersions to his master. Li is enraged and goes to confront the Zhus, taking some of his men. But he is wounded in the arm by an arrow shot by Zhu Biao. Luckily he is saved by Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu. Yang and Shi continue their way to Liangshan, where they mention Shi Qian and ask the outlaws to help rescue him. After three military offensives, Song Jiang eventually exterminates the Zhu Family Village.
