Death
After the outlaws have been granted amnesty by the emperor, Hua Rong follows them on their subsequent campaigns against the Liao invaders and the rebel forces of Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La. He is one of the few survivors after the campaigns. He takes up a military post offered to him by the emperor in recognition of his contributions. He is overwhelmed with grief when he learns that Song Jiang and Li Kui have been murdered by the corrupt officials. He travels to Chuzhou and finds Wu Yong already there. The two commit suicide together by hanging themselves on a tree near Song Jiang's grave.
