Song Jiang
In desperation, Song Jiang boards the boat of pirate boatman Zhang Heng. Midway across the Xunyang River, Zhang wants to kill and rob the three men. But his friend Li Jun, who has recently befriended Song Jiang at Jieyang Ridge, comes by in his boat and saves Song in the nick of time. Zhang is shocked to learn that the exile is the chivalrous hero Song Jiang. The Mu brothers, who wait at the bank, are similarly surprised to know his identity. The Mus release Xue Yong and the whole group treat Song as an honoured guest until he leaves for Jiangzhou.
