Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

In the city of Tokyo, there lived a family.

The owner of this house is surnamed Xu, and his given name is Ning. His ancestors served as imperial bodyguards for the founding emperor. In his generation, he was the instructor of the Imperial Golden Spear Class, and his job was basically to accompany and serve the emperor.

Xu Ning's Golden Spear Technique and Hook-Sickle Spear Technique are unparalleled in the world. As an instructor of the Imperial Golden Spear Class, he is also a rare all-rounder in horse stance.

When Lin Chong was still in the capital, he and Xu Ning often sparred with each other and praised each other's martial arts skills.

More importantly, Xu Ning possesses a family heirloom!

This is a suit of gold-rimmed armor constructed from goose feathers, passed down from Xu Ning's ancestors. This armor is truly extraordinary; when worn, it is both light and stable, instantly maximizing its defensive capabilities. No sword, arrow, or blade can penetrate it in a short time, hence it is also known as the "Surpassing Tang Ni" armor.

This armor was Xu Ning's lifeblood; he usually kept it in a leather box, which he hung from the beam of his bedroom.

Many noble young men wanted to see Xu Ning's armor, but he refused them all. Among them was Grand Commandant Wang Hua'er.

But the problem is, now, Gao Qiu has taken a liking to his armor.

"My lord, Xu Ning has been on duty in front of the palace recently, and then he goes home. There is nothing wrong with him."

Ever since Gao Qiu showed his intention to need this armor, all of his men were eager to make a contribution and took turns monitoring Xu Ning every day.

But Xu Ning can be described as a typical stay-at-home husband, going back and forth between the palace and home every day, arriving on time for his shift and leaving on time.

He's really difficult to deal with!

"How about we use the same tactics we used against Lin Chong to deal with him?"

Gao Qiu's close confidants held a secret discussion.

"Are you stupid? Everyone in Tokyo knows about Lin Chong entering the White Tiger Hall. Xu Ning is also an instructor in the Imperial Golden Spear Class. He wouldn't just barge into the White Tiger Hall so easily."

Lin Chong was able to be tricked into going in mainly because he had never seen what the White Tiger Hall looked like before, but Xu Ning was different. He often accompanied the emperor and had seen what the White Tiger Hall looked like.

Trying to deal with him using the same tactics used against Lin Chong is too difficult.

"He wouldn't dare enter the real White Tiger Hall, but what about the fake one?"

Suddenly, one of his trusted confidants came up with an idea.

"A fake White Tiger Hall? What does that mean?"

This idea was quite unique and immediately piqued everyone's interest.

So everyone crowded around, wanting to hear what was going on.

"Let's do it this way, like this..."

……

A few days later, at Xu Ning's home.

"Sir, you're on duty so early today?"

Xu Ning's wife is asking him a question.

It was only the fourth watch of the night, and Xu Ning was already preparing to set off.

"The Emperor is visiting the Dragon Talisman Palace today and needs our Golden Spear Guard to attend to him, so I must go early."

Xu Ning gently embraced his wife. Since marrying him, his wife had worked hard to manage the household affairs and kept the house in perfect order. So as soon as Xu Ning finished his shift, he would immediately want to go home and be intimate with his wife.

"Then be careful on the road, sir. It's still too early at four in the morning."

"Don't worry, we know the way well, so it won't be a problem even if it gets dark."

Xu Ning bid farewell to his wife, picked up his golden spear, and set out. It was the dead of night, the fourth watch of the night, and Xu Ning carried a lamp, using the dim light to make his way to the palace along the route he knew best.

But halfway there, suddenly, two men in black, carrying bloodstained long knives, darted out from a side alley. After meeting Xu Ning's gaze, the men in black seemed very surprised and turned to run away!

"Thief! Thief! Hero, stop those two villains!"

At that moment, at the entrance of the alley, a person covered in blood struggled out and shouted at Xu Ning.

As an instructor in the Imperial Golden Spear Class, Xu Ning naturally loathed such murderous villains. Upon seeing this situation, his sense of justice instantly surged, and without saying a word, he grabbed his golden spear and chased after the two men in black who had left!

This is the capital city, right under the emperor's nose! How dare someone kill someone in the street like this? Is there no law anymore?

It was dark and the road was unclear, plus the two men were highly skilled. Xu Ning only knew that he chased them through two alleys before seeing them jump into a courtyard. He followed closely behind and jumped in after them.

After jumping in, he found that the two men in black hadn't run away, but were waiting for him in the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was another corpse dressed in a guard's uniform, with a long knife stuck in it. Blood was still gushing from the body, indicating that it had just been murdered.

"Who are you people? How dare you commit murder under the very nose of the Emperor! Surrender at once!"

Xu Ning raised his golden spear and shouted at the two men.

But what happened next left Xu Ning dumbfounded. One of the two men in black lunged at his golden spear while he was speaking. The speed was astonishing. Before Xu Ning could react, the golden spear had already pierced the man's body!

The other man in black ripped off his black coat, revealing a guard's uniform underneath, and shouted, "Murder! An assassin has broken into the White Tiger Hall and killed someone!"

White Tiger Hall? What White Tiger Hall?

Xu Ning was a little confused; he hadn't just taken the White Tiger Hall's route!

But in the next instant, a huge net suddenly descended from the sky, covering Xu Ning completely! Dozens of burly men dressed as guards rushed into the courtyard and pressed Xu Ning down.

One of them pulled the long knife from the corpse and forcefully shoved it into Xu Ning's hand!

At this moment, the leading guard looked at Xu Ning and spoke:

"Xu Ning, the audacious instructor of the Golden Spear Class, actually dared to commit murder with a gun in the White Tiger Hall. He has been caught red-handed and will be immediately imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!"

What? How is this possible? This isn't the White Tiger Hall at all!

Xu Ning tried to struggle, but the big man stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, and then someone struck him hard on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.

"Quickly, move him to the real White Tiger Hall, then tell the Grand Commandant that it's done."

After dealing with Xu Ning, Gao Qiu's henchmen immediately moved him, still a corpse, to the White Tiger Hall. After all, Xu Ning, you've entered the White Tiger Hall and even killed someone!

A short while later, just as Xu Ning woke up, he saw Gao Qiu and a group of people surrounding him.

Behind the torches held high by the group of people, the four large characters "Baihu Jietang" were particularly eye-catching!

"Xu Ning! You, a teacher of the Imperial Golden Spear Class, have dared to break the law today, trespassing into my White Tiger Hall and murdering the guards! Caught red-handed! The evidence is irrefutable! Are you openly rebelling? Take him away! I will report this matter to His Majesty and let him decide!"

Gao Qiu's expression at this moment was so dignified and upright. If Ren Yuan saw this, he would probably call Gao Qiu the Best Actor!

"Grand Commandant Gao, I, Xu, have never offended you, so why are you harming me like this!"

At this moment, Xu Ning realized that he had walked into Gao Qiu's trap. His good friend Lin Chong had suffered a loss here in the White Tiger Hall!

But why?!

"Don't blame me, blame yourself for having that goose feather gold-rimmed armor."

Gao Qiu leaned close to Xu Ning's ear and spoke slowly.

"Anything in the capital that I, Gao Qiu, set my sights on will be mine sooner or later. If you have any complaints, blame your bad luck."
