Qin San Lang had instructed Hong Dao and his men that when scouting, even if they encountered someone asking for help, they must remain vigilant. This was because the Northwest had been chaotic for too long, forcing people to become evil. Some would impersonate victims of robbery to attack those who helped them. If anything seemed amiss, they should leave immediately.
Hong Dao remembered Qin San Lang's instructions, but hearing the sound of weapons, he knew one side was the military. Not wanting fellow soldiers to be harmed, he went to rescue them, sending two scouts back to report the situation to Qin San Lang.
Qin San Lang had a large number of soldiers, so even if the front was a trap, he dared to break through it, immediately saying, "Go call the other Company Commanders and the Chief Commander."
"Yes." The two scouts hurried to call the other Company Commanders and the Chief Commander.
