In the third year of Jianlong (962), Xingfeng fell ill and summoned his officers. Entrusting his son Baoquan to them, he said, "I rose from the fields as a militiaman. Of ten comrades, all were executed except Zhang Wenbiao of Hengzhou, who still broods over never receiving the post of staff marshal.
行逢卒，子保權立。
