公孫勝
As Dai Zong and Li Kui return to Gaotangzhou with Gongsun Sheng, they come to an inn to have their meal. As Gongsun is a vegetarian, Li Kui volunteers to go find something that suits him. Li comes upon Tang Long on a busy street, who has attracted a cheering crowd as he swings a huge mallet to smash a huge stone. Li Kui is impressed but he tells Tang he could easily do the same. Tang, who was initially doubtful, is surprised when Li wields the mallet with little effort. After mutually introducing themselves, Tang is asked to join Liangshan as Li sees great value in his metalworking skill. Tang gladly agrees.
