章 109: Allies or Enemies 4

The Dukes's mansion

On a hot summer night, The watcher man, a slim man in brown fading clothes walked from street to street, striking his chappers for the second time, signalling the start of the second watch which occurs from 9 pm to 10 pm. The watcher man would go about a few watches in the night, as the watcher man moved through the street he announced, "it is summertime when the wind is drier, beware of fires and wear more clothes".

He was on his normal patrol through the Jingu Qinwang's street when he heard the loud sound of multiple horse hops from a close distance. From the junction just opposite Duke Wu's mansion over fifty armed soldiers in full amour rushed out followed by twenty soldiers on horses and five prison carriages.
