In the fifth period of night, the sky was still shrouded in darkness.
The night patrol walked cautiously through the streets, bowing his head to avoid the patrolling Five Cities Military Department and Jiefan Guard. Even the sound of his gong and reporting was much quieter: "The morning rooster crows, early to bed and early to rise..."
Suddenly, he heard footsteps in the alley, and quickly shrank back, turning his head to the other side, closing his eyes tightly: "I saw nothing, I saw nothing!"
He trembled all over for a long time until he could no longer hear any noise, and only then did he squint his eyes, feeling his way along the wall as he left.
In the dim alley, Chen Ji and Treasure Monkey hurried forward one after the other.
