==Background==
Mu Chun is nicknamed “Little Unrestrained" as his elder brother Mu Hong is called "The Unrestrained". The Mus, who are wealthy and skilled in martial arts, have huge influence and are feared in Jieyang Town ([[揭陽鎮]]; believed to be in present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi) near the Xunyang River, where they live. ==Joining Liangshan==
When [[Song Jiang]] is in on the way to exile in Jiangzhou (江州; present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi), a reduced sentence for killing his mistress Yan Poxi, he passes by Jieyang Town with his two escorts. He comes upon [[Xue Yong]], who is performing martial stunts on the roadside for tips from onlookers. When Xue first came to Jieyang, he did not go to pay respects to the Mu brothers, who are feared by the local people. To punish him for the snub, the brothers have ordered the townspeople not to patronise him. Unaware of that order, Song Jiang generously tips Xue impressed by his performance and out of pity that no one awards him. Angry that Song made his family lose face, Mu Chun, who is among the onlookers, rushes forth wanting to beat him up. However, he is floored by Xue Yong.
