Gu Dasao - Becoming An Outlaw

Becoming An Outlaw

Yue He informs Gu Dasao that her cousins (Xie Zhen and Xie Bao) have been framed and imprisoned and awaiting execution. Gu Dasao discuses with her husband on a plan to rescue the Xie brothers. They enlist the help of Sun Li, Zou Yuan and Zou Run to stage a jailbreak and succeed in rescuing the Xie brothers. They flee to Liangshan Marsh to join the outlaws there after that.

At that time, the Liangshan outlaws are locked in a stalemate during a battle with the Zhu Family Village. Sun Li is a former fellow student of Luan Tingyu, a martial arts instructor of the village. He decides to make use of his relationship with Luan Tingyu to conduct an espionage mission, bringing along those who followed him to Liangshan earlier. They receive a warm welcome from Luan Tingyu and the Zhu brothers.

However, the Zhus are suspicious of Sun Li's allegiance to them initially. Sun Li proves his loyalty by capturing Liangshan's Shi Xiu during a duel. The Zhus then believe that Sun Li is genuinely faithful to them. Sun Li and his team work together with the Liangshan forces to bring down the Zhus and capture the village, making his first major contribution.
