The west market of Chang 'an was very large. At Lin Chuan's suggestion, it expanded from two to six.
On both sides, he annexed the four workshops of Qunxian, Huaide, Yanshou and Guangde.
It covered a radius of nearly thirty miles and was extremely huge.
All kinds of goods were dazzling, and the number of commoners and merchants coming and going exceeded ten thousand every day!
Compared to the luxurious and expensive goods in the East City, the goods sold in the West City were cheaper and more down-to-earth.
From the lanterns with colorful paper-cuts to the four treasures of the study.
From a stick of candied haws that cost three copper coins to a pot of fine Tang wine that cost one tael of silver coins, there was everything one could ask for.
There was also a saying in Chang 'an that said," Eat in the West City and live in the East City."
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the evening mist was heavy.
Smoke rose from the chimneys in Chang 'an, and the fragrance of food filled the air.
The warmth of the human world urged the people of Chang 'an to hurry home.
The cold autumn twilight fell on the bluestone floor, and a drunkard staggered over from afar.
He had a big body and a round waist. He looked a little ugly. He had a round face and a full beard. He was wearing a huge dark blue silk robe.
Even so, it couldn't hide his fat and bloated body.
He was holding a wine pot in his hand, swaying about. His mouth was unclear, and no one knew what he was saying.
The pungent smell of alcohol could be smelled from half a mile away.
The passers-by who were passing by looked at him with disgust. They pinched their noses and walked quickly.
He even cursed himself,"Where did this ugly drunkard come from? He's so dirty!"”
When the drunkard heard this, his eyes instantly widened to the size of copper bells.
He raised his earthen-pot-like fists and cursed in all directions.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen immortals drunk before?”
"I…I am the Canopy Great General.”
"All of you…kneel down!"
Everyone was shocked by the drunkard's ferocious appearance and felt a murderous aura pouncing on their faces.
The drunkards instantly turned into evil spirits that killed and ate meat. They were so scared that their legs went weak and they did not dare to breathe loudly.
The drunkard stared at them for a long time. When he saw that no one dared to laugh at him anymore, he immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, how can a group of villains be a match for me, Zhang Fei of Yan!”
"Good wine, good wine, hahaha!"
He took a few more gulps of wine, and his eyes narrowed into a line in a daze.
He staggered forward.
After a while, the frightened people finally dared to speak. They patted their chests and said in shock,"Oh my god, you scared me to death.”
"I thought he was a drunkard, but I didn't expect him to be a madman!”
"How can the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Palace be as useless as him?”
"Unreasonable, unreasonable!”
In this era, there was no Journey to the West, so in everyone's eyes, Marshal Tianpeng was still a tall and mighty god of the Heavenly Palace.
Everyone looked down on him, but their hearts were still pounding.
The moment the drunkard glared at him, he really looked like a god in the sky.
The baleful aura around him shocked many people so much that their legs went weak.
He couldn't help but think, Could this guy really be the Great Marshal Canopy?”
The few people on the roadside muttered to themselves, but they angered a group of ruffians who had just passed by.
The drunkard's glare had frightened his men so much that they almost peed their pants.
At this moment, his legs were sore and numb. When he recovered, he was instantly extremely embarrassed and angry.
He had been scaring people all day, but today, he was scared by a useless drunkard. How could he tolerate it?
Of course, the most important thing was that they saw the silk robe that the drunkard was wearing.
A piece of clothing with such workmanship would probably cost twenty taels of silver!
There was also a jade token on his waist. That was a top-grade jade!
At least fifty taels, no, a hundred taels!
There might be more!
This amount of silver was enough for them to squander for a few days!
He could even play with the ladies in the Jade Building several times!
Immediately, they revealed greedy and vicious expressions.
Even though such a drunkard might have an extraordinary background.
However, when they reached a place where there was no one, they would attack again. They would rob the things and beat them up before escaping. Who would know that they were the ones who did it?
As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and evil comes from the heart.
A group of ruffians followed him quietly, their eyes flashing with viciousness.
……
……
The drunkard staggered and finally turned into an empty alley.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and only blurry figures could be seen in the darkness.
The ruffian leader who had been tailing the drunkard for a long time was hiding behind him. He was delighted. This place couldn't be better!
A fierce look appeared on his face as he shouted.
"Attack!"
In an instant, a few of his subordinates pounced on the drunkard.
Unexpectedly, the drunkard heard the commotion and turned around.
He reeked of alcohol and his eyes were wide open.
His thick voice was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shaking even the stone slabs on the ground.
"I am the Left Commander General, the vanguard under Lin Shuai, the devil king of chaos, Cheng Yaojin!”
"Ahhh!"
"Who dares to fight me!"
"Eat my three axes…Hmm? Where is my axe?"
The drunkard felt behind him, but he felt nothing. He could not help but be confused again.
The hoodlums in front were scared out of their wits by his roar. When they saw the drunkard in a daze, they were angry and resentful.
Today, he had actually been frightened by this drunkard twice. He immediately became ruthless!
They raised their fists and greeted him!
The drunkard was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the few of them.
For a moment, fists, kicks, and sticks rained down.
"Big Brother, this damn fatty looks big, but he's actually soft and weak!”
"He relied on his face to scare us. We were all fooled!”
The ruffian spat and cursed fiercely.
"Beat him up, beat him up to death.”
"Your daddy is still Lin Shuai!"
"With this kind of behavior, you call yourself a general?”
As he spoke, he ruthlessly hit the drunkard a few more times.
The drunkard was beaten until his entire body turned black and purple as he wailed.
Everyone was ruthless. Blood was seen in several places, and the fatty quickly fainted.
The leader of the hoodlums hurriedly shouted,"Stop! If you continue fighting, someone will die!"”
"Quick, take off your clothes and search if there are any other valuable items.”
The group of hoodlums rambled on and on, and it took a lot of effort to take off the fatty's silk robe.
"Damn it, this fatty is probably drinking too much every day. Not only is he weak, but he's also dead heavy!”
The leader wiped the sweat off his forehead and cursed.
"Boss…Boss, you, look at this!”
Suddenly, one of the lackeys took off the jade token on the drunkard's waist and took a look. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
Her legs were wobbling, her face was pale, and her lips were trembling.
"What scared you so much?”
The ruffian leader scolded disdainfully and took the jade token.
Even in the dark, one could make out the words on the sparkling jade.
The ruffian only took a glance and was so frightened that he immediately sat on the ground.
The jade token also flew out of his hand and fell to the side.
Only then did everyone see the words on the jade token clearly under the moonlight.
On it was written 'Left Commander General', and a bold person turned it over while trembling.
On the back were three big words,"Cheng Yaojin"!
