Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

In Tokyo, in front of the Imperial Palace.

This place has been closed off for a month, and no one knows what's going on there. However, the official news is that the battle for the Regent's Seal will be held here.

"Hurry! Hurry! Be quick!"

"Hurry up, the last day of the first month of the lunar calendar is approaching, all these things need to be arranged!"

"Dig! Dig!"

Cai Jing has gathered tens of thousands of able-bodied men, who are working in shifts to renovate the entire open space.

The only purpose of the renovation is to bury all of Tokyo's stockpiled gunpowder here!

Especially at the main arena, there must be gunpowder!

In addition, the heavy gates on the city gates are also essential! There are also powerful bows and crossbows. If I'm not mistaken, the equipment on the city walls now consists of the latest crossbows from the armory!

"Good heavens, such a big fuss, are they going to bury everyone who came here in one fell swoop?"

Shi Qian hid in the shadows of the top floor of a tall restaurant in Tokyo, using his telescopic vision to observe the situation there.

It's impossible to get close to that place now. Even someone like Shi Qian, who has superb lightness skills and is good at gathering information, would find it difficult to sneak over there.

Fortunately, the telescope that Ren Yuan created proved very useful, allowing Shi Qian to see things without needing to get particularly close to the palace.

Although he hadn't personally witnessed whether they had buried gunpowder, based on Ling Zhen's information and the information released by Lai State, Shi Qian was already 80-90% certain that it was true.

If all the gunpowder in that open space in front of the palace had been ignited, along with the heavy crossbows and the heavy gate, then none of the people inside at that time would have been able to escape.

"Is Cai Jing really planning to screw over the world before he dies? But it doesn't matter, as long as that brat from the Zhe family doesn't get in and nothing happens, that's fine."

Shi Qian stated that he is not some great philanthropist who saves just anyone.

"Whizzing!"

Just as Shi Qian was about to retreat, his ears suddenly twitched. Two faint whooshing sounds came from afar, and the target was none other than him!

"interesting!"

Shi Qian grabbed the roof with both hands, used his waist and abdomen to pull himself up and flip backward, and jumped to the top of the restaurant.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two short arrows accurately hit the spot where Shi Qian had just landed, and judging from the sound, the arrows were fired from a powerful crossbow.

"What kind of hero acts like this, sneaking around like a thief?"

Shi Qian's gaze turned cold as he looked at a tower opposite him. On the rooftop, three masked men in black were watching him, one of whom was holding a short crossbow.

"They actually let him escape?"

The man in black who fired the arrow was also surprised. In all his years of experience, he had killed countless people with his crossbow, but he never expected to fail today!

"Don't be careless. That person dared to come to Tokyo alone to investigate. According to the information provided by the Cai family, he should be Shi Qian, the Flea on the Drum, one of the two legendary intelligence leaders of Dayi. This person's lightness skill is unparalleled and he is very difficult to capture."

Another man in black, with two iron plaques pinned to his back, also looked on with great admiration at Shi Qian's clean and efficient movements.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a flea, a tiny little flea. How could it possibly be a match for us?"

The last person in black to speak was a woman, and judging from her voice, she was quite young.

"This attire? Are they new recruits of Cai Jing? They don't look like they're from the Central Plains. Never mind, let's not get entangled with them for now."

Shi Qian glanced at the situation. There were three opponents and he was alone. It was a three-on-one situation, and the advantage lay with the opponents. He wasn't Ma Ling, so he couldn't play this round.

So he flipped over and jumped off the roof, intending to use the city's complex terrain to shake off these people!

"Trying to leave?! Not so easy! Mo Yuan, attack!"

The man in black with the crossbow fired an arrow with a rope attached. The woman in black then leaped into the air, using the rope for leverage, and instantly arrived at the spot where Shi Qian had just been!

Meanwhile, the man in black with two iron plaques on his back also jumped down from the high-rise building where he was, preparing to surround Shi Qian!

"Not bad at light footwork! Come and chase me if you dare!"

Although they moved quickly, Shi Qian was not slow either. He had landed smoothly and was ready to start walking through the streets of Tokyo.

"You take people's money and do their bidding; are you even a celestial being descended to earth? Then let me see your skills!"

The female assassin, Mo Yuan, first threw a flying knife in the direction Shi Qian was heading, and then used her lightness skill to jump down the building, preparing to chase after him.

"What kind of young lady is this? Why does she have to become an assassin? Be careful she won't be able to get married in the future!"

Shi Qian performed a series of backflips to dodge the flying knives, and at the same time accelerated his run into the alley. The more complex the terrain, the more effective his light-footed skills became!

"lecher!"

The female assassin, Mo Yuan, seemed to be somewhat provoked. She suddenly exerted force with her legs and charged towards Shi Qian like an arrow released from a bow!

Shi Qian turned around and his eyes narrowed. This woman's speed seemed to be not much slower than that of the Ma Ling brothers. Moreover, judging from her movements, they were not from the Central Plains, but rather resembled those of the Western Xia.

The Li family of Western Xia has also sent people this time. Cai Jing, that old dog, could he be colluding with them?

However, he did not intend to get entangled with anyone. After rushing into the alley, he skillfully used the terrain, dodging and weaving, sometimes climbing the wall, sometimes landing, sometimes leaping into the air, and sometimes diving down and gliding!

With this series of maneuvers, he quickly left the female assassin, who was unfamiliar with the terrain of Tokyo and could only sprint in a straight line, far behind!

"Bastard!"

The female assassin watched Shi Qian disappear before her eyes, which was very difficult for her to accept, as she had always been successful in hunting down enemies. After all, she had never failed when she was hunting people in Xixia!

"Mo Yuan, you didn't catch up?"

At this moment, the man in black who was using the crossbow also caught up. He was somewhat surprised to see his companion fail.

"This 'Flea on the Drum' must be quite famous in the Zhao Song region; he must have some real skills. I underestimated him."

Mo Yuan drew her short sword and forcefully slashed a mark on the wall!

"Don't let me run into him again, or I'll castrate him!"

……

At this moment, Shi Qian, having shaken off his pursuers, immediately slipped into a tailor shop. Not long after, a middle-aged man emerged from the back door of the tailor shop and walked briskly along the alley.

However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he stopped, because a man in black with two iron plaques on his back was blocking the alley entrance.

"Dayi Intelligence Chief Drummer, your transformation technique is indeed impressive, but unfortunately I arrived before you!"

"Tsk, impressive, you recognized me at a glance?"

Seeing that he had been recognized, Shi Qian stopped pretending, removed his human skin mask, and looked at the person, asking:

"Iron plaques aren't common weapons in the Central Plains these days. Who exactly are you?"

"Me? I've long heard of the Yi Kingdom in the Central Plains, where the people are all hidden talents. I'd love to experience it for myself."

The black-clad man with the iron plaque is shown with the iron plaque on his back, holding it in his left hand to protect himself, and his right hand holding it horizontally in front of him.

"Helian Tiehua of the Thunder Gate has come to learn the skills of the Flea on the Drum of Yiguo!"
