Arsenal Military Academy

Episode 25

Sir.

Come in.

Sir, you asked for me?

The academy

is planning to give you a glorious yet difficult task.

You must spare no efforts

to complete the task successfully.

Yes.

I will definitely accomplish it.

But sir, what's my task?

You must protect

Ms. Qu Manting 24/7.

Hi.

Protecting her?

Why?

Here's the thing,

Ms. Qu Manting

offended the Japanese

to safeguard the national

interests and dignity.

Her life is at stake.

You must protect her 24/7.

But why me?

Why can't it be you?

Qu Manting,

what are you up to?

Are you picking on me again?

- I - - Watch your attitude!

Where are your manners?

What have I taught you?

Sorry, Sir.

Give this task to others.

You know my grade is only average.

Protecting Ms. Qu is such an

important and risky task.

It's beyond my capability.

All soldiers should obey orders.

But my exam is coming up.

When you finish your task successfully,

you'll be given a pass for your exam.

Can that work?

I'm your Sergeant.

I get to make the decision.

Don't you like Gu Yanzhen?

Why didn't you ask for him?

You—

Listen,

I suggest you

to be careful with what you say.

I might have said something

that offended you once.

But you won't be so narrow-minded, right?

I swear that

I am in desperate need of your help.

I'll definitely listen to you.

I won't trick you.

It would be weird for me to trust you.

Sir, please reconsider it.

I'm not up for the job.

Enough.

Obey the order!

Yes.

What do you think our academy is?

A random person

can just take away my students?

Sergeant Lü, thank goodness, you're here.

You're absolutely right.

I'm a student at the Academy.

My duty is to protect our nation

as well as our people.

How can I be a bodyguard so randomly?

This is?

Let me introduce you.

This is

Qu Huaishu's daughter,

Qu Manting.

Hello, Sergeant.

I believe you all know my father.

We're

acquaintances.

What brings you here today?

Let me explain,

someone is stalking her.

She wants our academy

to send students to protect her.

She has been stalked?

Sending our students

to protect her isn't enough.

We should report this to the police

and have them investigate it

and find the stalker.

Adopting passive defense alone

isn't the wisest.

Correct.

Let's treat this task as an exercise.

Yes.

We should do that.

Sergeants,

that's unnecessary.

So far, it's just

my speculation.

There's no need to make a fuss.

Xie Liangchen alone is enough.

But Ms. Qu,

he's at the bottom of all courses.

I'm afraid that he isn't capable of protecting you.

Sir,

only my fitness test score is low,

all my other scores are high.

I trust him.

I have faith in him.

The thing is we've known each for a while,

so it's easy for us to get along.

Well...

Alright.

If you have other needs,

feel free to let me know.

Okay.

Xie Liangchen,

go make preparations

and leave with Ms. Qu.

When can I come back?

You can come back

whenever Ms. Qu is in absolute safety.

Yes.

Then...

Thank you both very much.

I am sorry to bother you.

I'm leaving then.

Thanks.

Let's go,

Xie Liangchen.

What can I say?

I'm too charming.

Nobody can resist my charm.

What on earth do you want to do?

I want you to protect me.

Stop fooling around.

How can Ms. Qu need protections?

I know you're plotting something.

Smarty,

but you're wrong this time.

Look, I have something great for you.

Go back.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Junshan,

where are you going?

I'm going to get some water.

Wait a minute.

I'll go with you.

No, no.

I have something else to do.

I'll go later.

What are you looking at?

What's his problem?

Are you insane?

Gu Yanzhen,

can you talk to Qu Manting?

She likes you. Tell her to pick you to be her bodyguard.

Why me?

How is the fact that she likes me

have anything to do with me?

I'm handsome.

Tons of people like me.

Perhaps...

Are you jealous?

Are you out of your mind?

I don't want to be her lackey.

Really?

I'm done talking to you.

Did you hear that

someone brought a coffin

to Her Ladyship in the Rong Mansion?

Ms. Qu, welcome.

Ms. Qu.

How come there is no people here?

Why would people come in daytime?

Ms. Qu,

what brings you here today?

I'm here to see Xiao Tao.

He's inside. Let me go get him for you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I heard it.

It's gone viral.

Who is that person?

He is so bold.

I don't know.

It's said that Lord Rong adopted a girl

but she was kidnapped by a trafficker.

Considering what happened,

she wasn't kidnapped.

I bet they sold her to the trafficker.

They sold her?

I also know that girl's name is Xianrong.

She seems

to be a Japanese.

Xianrong?

Xianrong.

Xianrong.

What are you doing here?

I came to check on you

and brought you some food.

Thanks.

Oh, right.

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

Have you

been seeing the Japanese lately?

Someone saw you in the Japan COC.

I went there

for business.

I thought so.

But you should now be more careful

when doing business with them.

Okay, I know.

Who told you that?

Someone in the chamber?

A friend passed by there

and saw you.

I'll go put the things down.

Wait a minute.

Okay.

Xie Liangchen.

Xie Liangchen.

Stop yelling!

Hurry and come down!

Ms. Qu,

do you still remember me?

- You are... - We met once in Panshan.

You were there with Shen Junshan, right?

No wonder you look familiar.

- Your surname is... - It's Jin.

Hello, Miss Jin.

Long time no see.

You've become prettier, Ms. Qu.

You're not bad yourself.

What's wrong with you?

Miss Xianrong is also here?

Are you looking for Junshan?

I just saw him going upstairs.

Okay.

Then you guys talk first.

I'll go wait for him inside.

What's her name?

Jin Xianrong.

Haven't you guys met before?

Jin Xianrong.

Have you obtained the objects?

Yes.

Miss Xianrong had left.

Retreat.

Retreat.

Xianrong?

Gosh, it's her!

What's wrong?

Do you know about

the incident happened in the Rong Mansion

a few days ago?

I heard about it.

I heard someone brought a coffin to the birthday celebration.

Do you know who brought the coffin?

Who was it?

Don't tell me it was her!

It was!

There were more than that.

After the coffin arrived,

a bunch of men broke in

and started stabbing people.

Luckily, I was smart,

otherwise, I'd die there.

I heard them saying

Miss Xianrong.

Seems like she is the leader.

Are they Japanese?

How would I know?

Their Chinese were fluent.

But they used Japanese swords.

That won't do.

Where are you going?

I have to tell Shen Junshan.

You have no evidence.

How would he believe you?

You're the evidence.

I—

Come on.

If she really is the one behind the attack,

she'll kill me!

Why would I report her? I don't want to die.

Besides,

I came to you for another business

that's more important than this.

Let's go.

What?

You'd better behave yourself,

or I'll report to Director Guo.

Don't drag me.

Where are you taking me?

You don't need to know.

Stop it.

You've crossed the line.

Qu Manting.

How could you do this?

Shut up.

Is is your first day knowing me?

Do me a favor.

Just tell me.

Why did you bring me here?

It's for your good.

What do you mean?

I've prepared a huge gift for you.

Half of the young ladies in Shunyuan

are all at this racecourse.

Tell me if there's anyone you like.

I'll get close with them.

Are you a matchmaker now?

I'm trying to help.

Those escorts I introduced you

aren't your type.

Okay, fine.

I know you have high expectations.

Ladies here today are different.

They're all good-looking

and from prominent families.

Any one of them is good enough for you.

Should I thank you?

I really don't need it.

You just won't let Gu Yanzhen go, right?

Missy, please let me go.

Go find Gu Yanzhen if you like him.

Why are you torturing me?

I don't care.

As long as you don't find you true love,

I won't feel relieved.

I can't pick a random one either.

How can you pick a random one?

I can introduce them to you.

I don't know them.

You will after you see them.

I don't like them.

Affection can be cultivated.

Listen to me,

your sergeant assigned you to me.

Before we get this done,

you won't be able to go back.

You're evil!

Come, let's go have a look.

Manting.

What do you think, Qianqian?

Did you have a good one?

Not too bad.

How come you just got here?

Let me introduce.

This is my friend Zhao Qianqian.

Hello.

What's going on?

Move! Step aside!

Qiqi.

Get out of the way.

Move.

Are you OK?

Are you alright?

Are you OK?

It's scary.

Let's go.

We can have a rest there.

Don't ride the horse.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What's wrong with you?

Didn't you say you know how to ride a horse?

I know...

a little.

You—

When I was little, I rode the horse in my dad's arms.

Hadn't it been for him,

you would've been dead, you know?

If anything bad happened to you,

what should I say to your parents?

Enough, Qianqian.

Calm down.

Everything is fine now.

Why don't you introduce us?

I've never met her before.

This is Qiqi, my cousin.

And this is

Qu Manting.

Weren't you eager to see her?

Ms. Qu,

nice to meet you.

You know me?

I've heard your songs.

Also,

we may be relatives in the future.

You're my alleged sister-in-law.

Alleged sister-in-law?

Who's your brother?

She's Gu Yanzhen's sister.

His sister?

The one and only?

Come here. Come here.

So you're my sister, too.

Sister.

Sister is too formal.

Just call me sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Can you two behave like ladies?

Oh, come on.

We're just joking.

Who is this?

Thanks for your help today.

It's nothing.

It's not.

We all saw it.

That horse ran wild

and charged towards us.

Without you, she'd be dead.

Come.

Let me introduce you guys.

This is

a straight-A student at the Arsenal Military Academy,

also my good friend,

from Peking, Xie Liangchen.

Come and say hi.

He's a soldier.

Qiqi,

say thank you to Mr. Xie

for saving your life.

No need.

- What are you waiting for? - Have we met before?

Thank Mr. Xie.

So you're not gonna say it?

Are you alright?

Is he dead?

It's none of your business.

Leave now!

W-What should we do?

It has nothing to do with you.

Hurry and leave!

I know!

You know nothing about

what happened to Shen Junshan that night,

and you saw nothing.

Don't go to him again

and don't tell anyone about it.

Got it?

You know each other?

We don't!

Then why are you so excited?

I mean...

I mean it reminds me of the Arsenal Military Academy.

My brother is also a student there.

Xie Liangchen, right?

My name is Gu Qiqi.

Hello.

Hi.

Eat the kebabs.

I remember you.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Last time, at school,

you saved me once,

and you saved me again today.

I owe you two lives already.

Oh, right.

Remember that man you hit with a rock?

Is he dead?

Ssh.

Don't worry, others can't hear us.

Hurry and tell me. Is he dead?

No.

He didn't?

How did he survive after such a heavy blow?

He's quite lucky.

Do you wish him dead?

Of course. He's a bad guy.

For a little girl like you,

you sure are cruel-hearted.

I'm not little.

I'm already 16 years old.

I can get married in the village.

Miss Zhao, do you know how to roast it?

Of course, I know.

If not, do you want to do it?

I am just scared that the smoke will—

I heard from Qu Manting

that you came to find a date.

Do you have anyone in mind?

What do you think of me?

I know I like you.

I think we're destined to meet each other.

Last year, my mom hired a fortune teller for me

who said I'd bring good fortune to my future husband.

Whoever marries me will be the luckiest man.

No wonder you're Gu Yanzhen's sister.

Of course.

Ms. Qu,

here.

Thanks.

Goodness!

I'll get fat after eating this.

You can have it.

Believe it or not,

I'm telling the truth.

You know,

that fortune teller has never been wrong.

Last year, he said that my brother

would get into trouble at the beginning of the year.

Then before the first month ended,

he was beaten by my father

and almost died.

Did your dad beat him often?

He did, but not anymore.

The thing is my brother dares to fight back now

and he can run fast.

Qianqian,

how come I didn't know that

you were related to the Gu Family?

We aren't close relatives.

Furthermore,

are you really in love with my cousin?

Of course, I am.

Then, I can only wish you good luck.

My cousin isn't an ordinary man.

I know.

That's what I like about him.

I’ve spent some time

with the fortune teller

and learned a few things.

Do you want me to read your palm?

Forget it.

I see.

You‘re doomed

to have tons of wooers this year.

You can tell that from the back of my hand?

Of course.

I'm good at reading the back, too.

How about you take your clothes off and let me see?

Forget it. Forget it.

You're quite talented.

Just so-so.

Get down.

Go.

Qianqian, come here.

Get down.

Come here.

Qiqi.

Liangchen.

Let's go.

I've seen that man.

He works for Jin Xianrong.

A few days ago, he tried to kill Shen Junshan.

What should we do now?

Let's go back to the Academy first.

Don't be reluctant.

I found this place to be really fun.

Let's go play together.

Let's go.

Junshan,

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Come with me.

You're leaving like that?

Fine, fine, fine.

We can go together.

He left to date.

We don't even have enough people.

Forget it.

I'm begging you.

Please go with you.

No, I am not going.

- No. - I'm upset.

Go drink with me.

We've finally got out.

It's still early in the morning.

Let's drink. I'm in a bad mood.

- Drink with me. - No.

- I won't. - Please.

No.

I'll drink with you next time.

I don't want to.

Let's go.

- No. - Brother.

- I said no. Don't touch me. - Brother!

- Brother! - Brother.

You scared me.

What are you doing? Let go!

I almost got killed today.

So terrifying!

Let go of me.

I won't.

Qiqi,

when did you come back?

I just got back.

So did dad.

Dad is back!

Brother,

your good days are ending.

Ji Jin, where's Junshan?

Miss Xianrong just dragged him out.

When?

Just now.

Where did they go?

That way.

Qu Manting, let me borrow your car.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Didn't you see your car got stolen?

I can give it to him.

Tell me the truth.

Be honest. Come.

Are you not

worried at all seeing me like this?

Let go.

Hey,

behave yourself.

Didn't you see?

He will pull the trigger.

I was so scared.

Why did you bring me here?

I want to tell you something

about myself

and my family.

Before I speak,

I hope you can forgive me.

I didn't mean to lie to you

or keep anything from you.

Most of the times,

I don't even remember.

I'm an overseas Chinese.

This isn't the first time coming to China.

Even though I'm Japanese,

I was born and raised in China.

When I was eight years old,

my father was hired to work in the Rong Mansion,

but he died accidentally.

Lord Rong sympathized with my mom and me,

so he took us in

and adopted me.

I thought a brand-new and better life

would await us,

yet Lord Rong's wife,

Her Ladyship

suspected that

my mom and her husband had an affair,

so she made our life hell.

My mom couldn't bear it.

She got sick,

and passed away afterwards.

Then I was kicked out of their mansion.

After living on the streets for a while,

I met my current parents

who took me in.

Was the incident

happened in the Rong Mansion

your doing?

I don't know who I should hate.

I can't kill that woman.

I don't know whom I should take revenge on.

I'm so useless.

It's not your fault.

Junshan,

I lied to you

because I'm ashamed of myself.

Nobody wanted me when I was young.

I was afraid that you'd look down on me.

Junshan,

I'm sorry.

You didn't lie to me.

You don't

owe anyone an explanation.

The past is the past.

Junshan,

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

It's about Jin Xianrong.

Are you sure you know everything about her?

What's wrong?

She's not a good person.

I think she was the one who brought the coffin

to the birthday celebration in the Rong Mansion.

- And Qu Manting— - I already knew that.

You do?

- Then how come you— - Xianrong did that

for a reason.

I fear she'll harm you.

She won't.

But what if she did

collude with the Japanese?

Xianrong

is my old friend.

I know what kind of

person she is.

- But— - Enough.

Liangchen,

I don't know why

you're so biased against her,

but the truth is she's having a hard life.

Don't ever say that again.

Liangchen,

please wait.

What did you say to Junshan?

Junshan is smart,

maybe too smart.

He always

tends to believe what he sees

and his own judgment.

Poor man.

I'll find evidence against you.

I hope

you can live that long.

Let's wait and see.

Come, you drink first.

Let's play a game.

Xiaojun.

What took you so long in the bathroom?

I knew they'd known each other.

Really?

They just met.

You know what,

it was Director Guo who asked me to protect

Qu Manting 24/7.

Except politicians,

even patriotic businessmen aren't qualified

to hire us to protect them,

not to mention a singer like her.

Sergeant Guo

abused his power

for his own benefit.

I'll report him.

What?

Stop drinking.

Don't you know you get drunk easily?

Let me take a sip.

No!

Here, have some water.

I already paid. It can't be wasted.

No!

You'll get drunk.

Give me a drink.

Here, it's free.

My treat. My treat.

♫ Farewell time, trackway side ♫

♫ Green grass spreading up high ♫

Two brothers drink.

Six, six, six.

Five classics.

Seven and eight.

♫ Night breeze sighing; light flute crying ♫

♫ The sunset is far beyond the hills ♫

Go ahead and ask.

♫ At the edge of the sky and the corner of the land ♫

♫ Friends have gone their separate ways ♫

How have you been all these years?

What kind of question is that?

That's all you want to ask?

I'm fine.

Have your parents treated you well?

That's the second question.

Come.

Again. One more time.

Let's go.

Two brothers...

Two brothers drink.

Five classics.

Six, six, six.

You drink.

It's my turn.

Are you married?

No.

Really?

You're still single at this age?

Why are you all saying this?

Am I that old?

Am I?

You are old.

Do you have girlfriends at least?

When I was young,

I was a ladies' man.

I was charming.

I had tons of girlfriends.

Were you in love with anyone?

Yes.

Then why didn't you marry her?

She's gone.

She...gone...

How many questions have you asked?

You fouled!

You finally figured out!

Gosh, so slow.

Let's play again.

OK. Come on.

Five classics.

Six, six, six.

Eight horses.

You can't always lose. Here.

He really said that?

He seems to be really into Miss Xianrong.

Are you jealous?

Who's jealous?

We never know.

According to my knowledge of you,

Shen Junshan is supposed to be your type.

When I say I am not, I am not.

But I keep on feeling that something isn't right.

How?

I can not describe it.

I feel he's afraid of me.

Afraid of you?

You're paranoid.

Let's talk about you.

You know Miss Xianrong is heartless.

Why did you pick a fight with her?

I was worried that she might hurt Junshan.

Waitress.

I need to go.

Give me a refill.

Be careful.

Luckily, it missed the target.

Be careful.

How come you're always careless?

Ms. Huo, don't blame him.

He didn't pick a fight.

He only did that to save me.

Alright.

It's just a scratch. I'm fine.

You said someone was stalking you.

I guess it's true.

Right?

We should pay more attention to it.

After all,

we can't be lucky every time.

Am I a jinx?

Here comes the devil.

Thank you, Captain He.

Ms. Huo.

Captain He.

I'll bring the body back.

If something comes up, I'll let you know.

Thank you, Captain He.

You're welcome.

He

just left like this?

Ms. Huo, a man died in your bar!

They won't question you or anything?

I pay them tons of money every year.

How dare they

question me for such a trivial matter?

A trivial matter?

It's a man's life.

Enough.

In this bar,

people die

almost every month.

Don't listen to him.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

Let me take you back.

No need.

I can go back myself.

How will you go back?

Let me give you a ride. My car is outside.

OK.

I'm leaving then.

Take care.

Let's go, Xie Liangchen.

You go ahead.

I'm fine.

Leave at ease with Manting.

I'll have someone take her back later.

Thank you.

Be careful.

You, too.

You saw what happened.

Stay out of trouble.

I will.

Liu,

take Xiaojun back.

OK.

Let's go.

Sister, I'm leaving.

Boss,

we caught him.

What did he say?

He said nothing.

He killed himself.

Where's the body?

In the west warehouse.

Boss.

Take off his pants.

Boss, he's Japanese.

Dump him outside of the Japanese Chamber.

Got it.

Telegraph Watanabe.

Tell him to leave for Liaoxi immediately.

I need him at the auction.

Boss,

please give me another chance.

Do you deserve a second chance?

If I fail again,

I'll kill myself.

Boss, Prince Chengrui is outside

asking to see you.

One last chance.
