Death
After the Liangshan outlaws have been granted amnesty by the emperor, Qin Ming follows them on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and the rebel forces of Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La, making great contributions to the nation. During the calamitous Fang La campaign, Qin Ming is assigned to lead an attack on Qingxi County. He encounters the enemy general Fang Jie and they engage in a man-on-man duel. Du Wei hurls his flying daggers at Qin Ming to distract him during the duel. Qin Ming is successful in dodging the daggers but he is distracted and Fang Jie seizes the opportunity to spear him. Qin Ming falls off his horse and dies.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Life springs from death and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.... They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.”
—Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)
“Why wait for Death to mow?
why wait for Death to sow
us in the ground?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“They can rule the world while they can persuade us
our pain belongs in some order.
Is death by famine worse than death by suicide,
than a life of famine and suicide ... ?”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
