The group did not enter Yushu Village right away, but took a detour into the mountains halfway through the journey.
The leader was very familiar with the area, guiding them through backroads into the mountains without being seen by anyone.
As darkness fell, they reached a depression in the mountains. The leader pointed to the depression and said, "Young Master, Seventh Young Master, there's a cave down there in the depression, very concealed. Let's settle there first, take care of business, and then head to Prefecture for some fun, spend a few days before returning to the village."
Young Master, named Gao Rui, was Gao Tong's youngest son, also cruel and merciless. He wanted to take over the Water Bandit Village. Hearing that Gao Tong had ordered his brother and Yan Wu to kill Zou Youlian, he was dissatisfied and, after pleading with Gao Tong, got permission to come to Tianfu County with Lian Qi.
