Description
When Zhao Kuangyin is besieged in Shouzhou, Gao Junbao is sent by his mother to rescue him with reinforcements. While passing through Double-lock Mountain, he meets a brazen Liu Jinding, female leader of a stockaded stronghold, who has set up a notice looking for a husband.
Outraged by her prideful words, Junbao crushes the stone in indignation. After several rounds of fighting, the magic-wielding Liu beats Junbao by catching then freeing him three times. Junbao is finally won over. Before he leaves, he offers the imperial tablet as a betrothal token. He continues his expedition to Shouzhou but is struck down by serious illness from the cold. He is forced to ask Jinding for help. Alarmed and concerned about her future husband, she speeds off to his rescue, killing four generals at four gates, heals her husband and frees Shouzhou from the siege.
