Becoming An Outlaw
The Xie brothers join Sun Li as they act as spies for Liangshan during the battle with the Zhu Family Village. They help Liangshan forces capture the village by causing chaos inside. They become leaders of the Liangshan infantry after the Grand Assembly.
Xie Zhen follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by the emperor. During the Fang La campaign, the Xie brothers offer to scout the enemy territory of Black Dragon Ridge. They disguise themselves as hunters and scale the mountain but are discovered by enemy soldiers, who throw hooks down on them. Xie Zhen is caught by the hooks and he draws his saber and slices the ropes connected to the hooks, falling hundreds of meters down the mountain to his death.

Famous quotes containing the word outlaw:
“It is better to have the power of self-protection than to depend on any man, whether he be the Governor in his chair of State, or the hunted outlaw wandering through the night, hungry and cold and with murder in his heart.”
