Hua Rong
Qin Ming battles with Hua Rong on horseback but neither prevails. Hua then feigns defeat and flees. Knowing that Qin easily loses his cool, Hua lures him to gallop round Mount Qingfeng. Finally, madly enraged and tired, Qin falls into a dug pit. He is taken to Song Jiang, who unties him and tries to win him over with warm words. Although Qin takes to Song, he turns down his plea, swearing that he would live and die a Song official. But he agrees to rest overnight at the stronghold.
