Arsenal Military Academy

Episode 46

Xiang, come here.

Sergeant Guo brought it for you.

What is it?

Take some.

Is she so bad at cooking?

Very bad. Don't you think so?

I don't think so.

Maybe it's because you're a soldier.

Eat it.

I'll watch.

Sergeant, is it still a time of tension?

Yeah.

All the main roads are blocked.

It's extremely hard to get out of the city.

We have to wait.

Deputy Commander Song

is such a despicable person.

Now everything is playing to his plan.

And you threaten him now. Do you think he will buy it?

This is the Catholic Hospital's report.

It proves that

the Commander died of taking medicine wrong which led to heart failure.

It has nothing to do with Xie Xiang.

Why should I believe you?

You may doubt it.

But it's OK.

The Commander's body is the evidence.

I can contact with his family anytime for another examination.

What do you want?

Xie Xiang's life.

That Song Xicheng.

Now he's the order itself in Shunyuan.

If we go to him directly, we won't stand a chance.

So you two stay here.

When the situation eases down, I'll get you out of the city.

Besides,

your pals in the Academy planned to appeal to

the Commander's mansion for you.

I convinced them not to.

I can only stay here for a while.

I have to go back.

Otherwise,

I'm afraid that

I feel guilty about keeping it back from them.

We have no choice.

The more people know, the more dangerous for you.

But I think Shen Junshan doesn't buy it.

He followed me today.

I think Shen Junshan is a decent man.

Shall we tell him about it?

No. Absolutely not.

But if...

We'd better keep it from all of them.

Or...

The less people know about it, the safer we are,

right?

Oh, yeah.

Where's Li Wenzhong?

Did you find him?

Yeah.

He's dead.

What?

How?

I don't know why he didn't leave Shunyuan

with his parents.

He encountered with the Japanese on his way back to the Academy.

He's outnumbered and killed.

Li Wenzhong is a true man.

He didn't humiliate the Academy till the last minute.

Yeah.

He is a true soldier.

An Wen,

are you going to your parents' tomb again?

What's wrong with me?

Do we know each other?

I'm sorry.

His father is Gu Zongtang, an important minister in the Peking government.

Gu Yanzhen has good ratings in the Academy.

He shares a dorm with Xie Liangchen.

They're very close.

I have sent men to block the main roads and have arranged search in the city.

For now we don't have any lead.

Your opinion?

We have searched the hospital thoroughly.

Gu Yanzhen couldn't have stolen the body by himself.

I guess he's got companies.

You mean

it has something to do with the Arsenal Military Academy.

We can't rule it out.

Both Lu Zhongxin and Guo Shuting

used to be the late Commander's right hand men.

They are loyal to him.

Loyal to him?

Mr. Shen.

Is it difficult?

In the meeting today,

the military authority requested to

increase military expense to wipe out bandits.

The government finance never makes ends meet.

Mayor Bai doesn't have money.

So he increased taxes

on business associations and companies.

According to reliable sources,

Song Xicheng is likely to skip the government

and to allocate military expenses

to each entity.

He doesn't have the assignment yet.

So he's not the commander.

He will be one day.

Maybe Shunyuan will be put under military control.

When it becomes true,

he will be the emperor of Shunyuan.

It's killing the hen to get eggs.

Will Mayor Bai agree?

Several government leaders who disagreed died miraculously one by one.

Mayor Bai is probably freaked out.

President Liu of the bank is secretly transferring their properties.

Everyone is preparing for both situations.

The others can run away,

but we cannot.

I'll die

protecting the 3 parcels of land

from the Japanese.

Tingbai.

I'm tired.

I'll go upstairs and take a nap.

Don't wait for me for dinner.

Mr. Shen.

How is it going?

We found the criminal's body at the suburb west of the city.

It's a man's body.

When can I get the lands?

You'll have to wait.

I'm collecting the military expenses.

Shen Tingbai, as the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce,

is useful to me.

So you can't hurt him for now.

It's your business

how to deal with Shen Tingbai.

But I need the lands immediately.

Miss Oda...

Remember.

I can help you get the position

and I can get anyone else.

Besides, you're not the commander yet.

Deputy Commander,

I like working with you.

I hope our further cooperation goes well.

It's late.

Deputy Commander, you must have a lot of things to do.

I shall take no more of your time.

When we meet again,

I hope I can hear good news from you.

Can we finish her for good?

Not easy.

According to my investigation,

this woman is cautious.

There are lots of guards protecting her.

Unless using force, we can hardly take her down.

Now we can't use force.

I want to take Shunyuan under control.

Now is not the right time.

We can't turn against the Japanese now.

Think about something else.

She seems to care much about the lands.

Can we...

No.

I want the land, too.

I don't believe we can't manage her.

Besides, how is it going with the Academy?

It's quiet recently.

Lu Zhongxin is quite cooperative.

Nothing unusual.

Is he?

Dad, I'm back.

I don't know you will come back.

You never take here as your home.

Dad, can you please don't fight with me each time I come back home?

I'm really tired.

I haven't slept well for days.

I'll go up to my room.

Don't wait for me for dinner.

Stop.

I haven't finished yet.

Can we talk about it when I get up later?

I have work to do at night.

I'd say you should quit that indecent job.

A lady shouldn't go out with men every night living on her smiles.

Our family's reputation is ruined by you.

I live on my songs and my performances.

Each penny I made is clean.

I didn't humiliate anyone.

Don't talk back.

Dad,

can you please understand me?

I'm so tired.

OK.

If you're tired,

OK then.

But listen to me. You don't have to go out anymore.

Quit that job.

Don't make our family a laughing stock.

Besides,

I have made you another engagement.

You just stay at home and wait for being married.

Dad, how many times have I told you?

Shen Tingbai and I are impossible to get married.

It's not him.

Not him?

The Shen Family is a big fish now.

I won't force you to marry him.

It's a troubled time now.

So is it to do business.

On the outside,

Shen Tingbai seems rich and powerful.

But who knows the hardship beneath?

This time, the man I want you to marry is from a scholarly family.

His surname is Zhao.

When you're married,

no matter how the situation will go,

your life won't be affected.

Dad, don't you think it's ridiculous?

You want me to marry a man I don't even know.

I can support myself.

You have to marry him.

I've accepted their gifts,

and given out invitations.

It's you who accepted the gifts and gave out invitations.

If someone has to marry, it should be you.

I will not.

I make my own calls.

Insolent child!

All right. All right.

She seldom comes back.

Don't fight with her.

Manting can't accept it for now.

But it doesn't matter.

Give her more time

to think about it.

She's our daughter after all.

Whose daughter is she?

Has she ever taken herself as your daughter?

I've been a decent man for my whole life.

I could never give birth to a girl like her.

It's all because of your lascivious sister.

Enough. Stop it.

What did you say?

No more questions.

I...

I'm not your daughter?

My aunt is my mom, right?

Manting!

Manting!

It's late. Where are you going?

Dinner time.

Shuting.

It's dinner time.

Is it a special day?

So many dishes.

Sit down.

Time for dinner.

Xiaoyu cooked all these.

Yeah.

I have been working on it for the afternoon.

Xiaoyu, you look

a bit different today.

How so?

You look beautiful.

Sweet tongue!

You two...what is going on?

Nothing.

Eat your dinner.

Don't ask questions.

No. Tell me.

Or, I don't know if I can eat or not.

Today,

Shuting and I are getting married.

I...I'm not prepared.

Prepared for what? It's my wedding.

We have to book a big hotel and make it a big event.

I'm OK with this.

Besides,

at such a situation, it's not suitable.

Maybe later.

Or maybe we can go to another city.

I can't wait any longer.

I don't want to wait any more.

You brat.

Xiaoyu cooked all these for tonight.

Why don't you shut up and have dinner?

OK.

OK, yeah.

When you and Xie Xiang get married,

you have to throw a big party.

OK.

I never said I would marry him.

See that?

You have to try harder.

Yes.

I'll try harder.

OK?

Stop it.

It's late. Who is this?

Better be careful.

You stay here.

I'll go have a look.

OK.

What are you doing here?

What's up?

Did someone bully you?

What's wrong with her?

I want to talk.

OK.

Let's talk inside.

We can talk right here.

We can't make it clear here.

I want to get inside.

Who can imagine

that you're a woman?

I'm sorry for lying to you for so long.

I've got a boyfriend, too.

Looks like I was right

to make so many dishes.

We have guests.

Shuting.

All right.

Let's have a drink.

It's cold outside there.

A little drink warms you up.

What a day!

I'll go have a look.

Sergeant Guo.

Come on in.

All right.

Don't just sit there.

Help yourselves.

I wanted to save you.

But I didn't know that...

Thank you.

Junshan might not be some help.

But on the day when you were arrested, he didn't sleep.

He used all his connections.

All right.

No more explanations.

Xie Xiang

escaped successfully from death sentence.

We can gather here today.

As your sergeant, I'm happy to have you as my students.

Another really important thing is

that today is my wedding with Xiaoyu.

I suggest that we raise our glasses.

Here.

Drink to us.

Here.

Have a drink.

OK.

Come on.

Xiaoyu.

We're leaving.

Leaving?

I've waited for him for decades.

He's always busy and has no time to rest.

Now,

we want to live a different life, to travel around.

It would be nice.

You're leaving?

Take care.

Take care.

You're leaving?

You...

You married her?

Yeah.

Do you love her?

What do you think?

Xiaoyu is beautiful and elegant.

Besides, she's a capable woman.

She waits for you for so many years.

You should love her.

Yeah.

Travel around when you can.

Live a different life.

When you stepped in,

you said you wanted to talk.

You can talk now.

What is it?

I'm leaving.

For where?

Back to Shanghai.

Don't you want to say something to me?

What can I say?

You...

You should say something at least.

You'll come back one day.

We can still meet, right?

Are you OK?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Really.

When do you

plan to leave?

I'll see you off.

It's OK.

I think

Shen Tingbai is a nice man.

Since you said that.

OK.

I'll give him a chance.

See if we have a thing.

Guo,

don't drink too much.

It's bad for your health.

Now you're married to Xiaoyu.

You should cherish the time with her.

I know.

You're not young anymore.

So be good to yourself.

What is that?

It sounds bitter and harsh.

All right.

Go back now.

Shen Tingbai has been standing there for a while.

He might be worried.

Go.

A hug with me, Guo?

Be good.

What's wrong?

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

See you, Guo.

Did you ask him?

No.

Why not?

It must be a sad story.

So why bother asking?

Sometimes,

things are buried

for a reason.

If you dig them up,

no one would be happy.

How about you?

Aren't you curious?

Yes, I am.

But what's the point?

Forget it.

No more inquiring.

Winter is coming.

Shunyuan is too damn cold.

I want to go back to Shanghai.

Um...

what about Gu Yanzhen?

Maybe in the next life.

What's so funny?

Does that mean

in this life

I still have a chance?

Was that Guo in the car?

It was him.

He looks brilliant when he shaves his moustache.

There must be a reason.

Is he in love?

Sergeant!

Sergeant Guo.

Guo.

What's up?

You...

What happened to you?

What?

Quit looking at me like that.

What is it?

What's happening?

Didn't I say it clear?

I'm an old man with bad physical conditions.

Don't give me this nonsense.

I want to know the truth.

I'm married.

To Huo Xiaoyu?

Yeah.

Congratulations!

Even if you're married, there is no need to resign.

You know well

who she is.

Besides,

we can't stay in Shunyuan City any longer.

Can't you wait for a while?

The students are about to graduate.

We have the final test today.

I know.

It's just for formality.

I've taught them all I know.

I think you can't leave today.

Why is that?

Combat meeting.

We're closed off.

Since when?

Since now.

It's likely to be a mission for graduation.

After the mission,

we can get our commission and be assigned to the army.

I asked around.

It is just for formality.

It's whether combating bandits or delivering supplies.

Anyway, we're just a sidekick for combat units.

It's all the same.

Don't be nervous.

I'm not.

I just think the rings are whammies,

making it a funeral or something

Hey, it's a pity that Gu Yanzhen can't come.

After two years of training, he can't come for the graduation ceremony.

If Liangchen were here...

What are you talking about?

I think I heard the bell ringing from the Academy.

My brother always wanted to get in the Academy.

I came here

to realize his dream.

But now...

It's not your brother's dream that you get in the Academy.

If you want to fulfill his dream,

you'll have plenty of opportunities.

You're right.

In fact, I just think

it's a pity to have to leave like that.

When that thing fades away,

if you still want to come back,

I'll be there with you.

All prepared.

We leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

The Double-wolf Stronghold has 4 exits.

This time we plan to

take this exit down.

Our mission is to hold them there and upset their plan.

When the main force takes action, we make our move, too.

This action will be under my command.

The rest stay behind.

Just you?

What about Director Guo?

That old bachelor has got his love now.

He's not with us from now on.

He handed in his notice.

Really?

You resigned?

Congratulations! Shuting.

Well done, man.

Hos before bros.

Any questions?

No.

Then you're dismissed.

We set off in 10 minutes.

OK.

This is Lu Zhongxin.

Now?

OK.

OK, I get it.

I'm coming.

Morning, Sergeant Lu.

Zhongxin,

don't you have a mission?

Where are you going?

The Commander's mansion called.

If you're leaving, what about those students?

They've got you.

Me?

It's your call now.

Shuting, be careful.

What is there to look?

Don't recognize me?

I'll be the commander and take you to the mission.

You have to work harder.

I just received the Commander's order.

He ordered us to cooperate with the 3rd Battalion

and take the Double-wolf Stronghold down.

Take this mission

as your graduation test.

Look sharp.

Understood?

Yes, Sir.

Director Lu,

this way, please.

OK.

This way.

Director Lu,

please turn in your sidearm.

I'll take it for you.

Since Commander Zhang was killed,

Commander Song orders to tighten control on arms.

Commander Song?

Commander Song Xicheng.

Director Lu.

Please hand in your sidearm.

Please.

Hold on.

Can I go to the bathroom first?

OK.

This way.
