At the east of the Rat Temple, look for a staircase leading up to a house. You will find Che Xixi overlooking the streets next to his chess set.

Use your Celestial Seize to steal the Thousands of Armies - Soldier item from Che Xixi. Be careful not to get caught, as this will alert the authorities and chase you.
