By the time he left the restaurant, the sky had already grown dim.
Yue Shan was drunk, and he was escorted home by Yang Feng and Han Jun. Chen Yuan noticed his traits, not lascivious, but a lover of alcohol. Most of the drinks on the table had been consumed by Yue Shan.
After a simple interaction, Chen Yuan had gained some understanding of the several Heavenly Patrol Guards under Zhang Xuan's command, and he also inquired about Yang Wanlou's detailed situation.

the Five Great Forces of Ping'an County—the Shenxiao Hall, Azure Flood Dragon Association, Changle Gang, Dragon Tiger Sect, and Gold Mountain Monastery—are all located near Ping'an County. Among them, the Changle Gang has significant influence in the South City and West City.
