The Later Heroes of the Water Margin

After receiving imperial amnesty, the Liangshan heroes, led by Song Jiang, quelled the Liao invasion and then defeated three rebel kings before returning to court. The few surviving Liangshan heroes, just over twenty in all, each had their own ambitions and set out to make their own way in the world.

Li Jun, the Dragon Who Rises in the Rivers, Heavenly Longevity Star, could not bear to see Liangshan's grand brotherhood, dedicated to carrying out Heaven's justice, simply fade away. He refused to let corrupt ministers such as Gao Qiu and Cai Jing continue to wreak havoc, and feared that the families and friends of the Liangshan brothers would again suffer at the hands of the powerful. Alongside Yan Qing, the Dashing Wanderer, Heavenly Ingenuity Star, and other heroes, he gathered on Cloudmist Island in Taihu Lake to renew their mission of carrying out Heaven's justice.

As they searched for and protected the families and friends of the Liangshan heroes, they punished evil and upheld good. As they resisted the Jin and fought to save the Song, they strove to set the times right and save the world. They waged fierce, head-on battles against a band of treacherous ministers led by Gao Qiu and the invaders led by Wanyan Wushu, leaving behind many astonishing legends.
