Monkey, knowing the way, arrived at the South City Gate...
...This was the closest place to the boarding point.
An Changyu had already left, but a few constables were questioning Sun Peng about what had happened.
As they were talking, they noticed Monkey, who was dressed as a commoner.
The men stopped talking, and one of them shouted, "The city gate is closed! No one is to leave without proper cause. If you want to leave the city, come back when the gate is open!"
Monkey took out the token Zhou Xing had given him and quickly said, "Sirs, I have a city-exit pass. I'm on an errand for a master from the Government Office Entrance... My apologies for troubling you gentlemen."
Hearing that he had a pass, the men glanced at each other. One of them gestured for Monkey to approach. Only then did Monkey dare to hurry over, presenting the pass with both hands.
A constable took it and examined it carefully before nodding. "It's a city-exit pass."
