Arsenal Military Academy Episode 46 Recap
> Arsenal Military Academy Recap
Guo Shuting shook off Shen Junshan and returned home, where Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzhen were hiding. Guo Shuting informed them about the city-wide lockdown and planned to send them away once the situation subsided. It turned out that Gu Yanzhen had stolen the Commander's body and had it dissected at the church hospital.
The dissection revealed that Commander Zhang had died of chronic poisoning caused by taking the wrong medication for a long time, which had nothing to do with Xie Xiang. He immediately handed the results to Song Xicheng, who did not believe him. Gu Yanzhen threatened to give Commander Zhang's body to his family for a re-examination. Song Xicheng immediately backed down. Gu Yanzhen took the opportunity to propose releasing Xie Xiang.
Guo Shuting told Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzhen about the students planning to petition the Commander's mansion and the city hall. Xie Xiang wanted to tell everyone about her rescue, but Guo Shuting thought it was inappropriate, fearing that the news would leak and cause unnecessary trouble. He recalled Shen Junshan following him by car and wanted to tell Shen Junshan the truth first. Gu Yanzhen firmly disagreed, and Guo Shuting no longer insisted.
He also told them both the news of Li Wenzhong's heroic sacrifice, which deeply saddened Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzhen. Today was her parents' death anniversary, and An Wen came to the cemetery early in the morning to pay respects. She accidentally saw Li Wenzhong's tombstone, and tears welled up uncontrollably. An Wen felt that Li Wenzhong was very familiar. She immediately pulled out her notebook and found that two pages had been torn out.
An Wen could not remember what Li Wenzhong looked like, but she just felt a strong sense of familiarity and closeness. She placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Li Wenzhong's grave. Song Xicheng sent people to investigate Gu Yanzhen's family background and learned that his father, Gu Zongtang, was highly regarded by the National Government.
He suspected that Gu Yanzhen could not have stolen Commander Zhang's body alone and that someone from the Arsenal Military Academy must have helped. Moreover, Instructor Lv and Guo Shuting were both trusted subordinates of Commander Zhang. Song Xicheng put pressure on the Shunyuan government, forcing Mayor Bai to raise military funds. Mayor Bai had no choice but to levy contributions on the major merchants.
Shen Tingbai had already heard that Song Xicheng wanted to bypass the government and demand military funds directly from them, and that he also intended to impose military control on Shunyuan. Song Xicheng would become the local emperor of Shunyuan, and Shunyuan would never have peace. Shen Tingbai swore that he would never hand over those three plots of land to the Japanese.
Shen Junshan sent people to quietly search for the bodies of the death row inmates who had been executed by firing squad. He finally received news that the person killed was a man. Shen Junshan's hanging heart finally settled, and he was relieved that Xie Xiang was still alive. Oda Hiroshi came to negotiate with Song Xicheng, wanting to get the three plots of land immediately and urgently.
Song Xicheng wanted to use Shen Tingbai's influence to raise military funds first, but Oda Hiroshi was persistent, threatening to bring him down. Oda Hiroshi slammed the door and left in a huff, leaving a harsh remark that she expected results when they met next time. Song Xicheng hated Oda Hiroshi deeply and had long wanted to get rid of her, but Oda Hiroshi usually lived secluded and was protected by many people. Song Xicheng could not act immediately.
He was solely focused on taking down Shunyuan, so he could only think of other ways to deal with Oda Hiroshi first. As soon as Qu Manting returned home, she was severely reprimanded by her father, Qu Huaishu. Qu Manting excused herself, saying she was too tired and wanted to rest. Qu Huaishu forbade her from singing at the dance hall again and forced her to marry the son of a scholarly family.
Qu Manting firmly refused, but Qu Huaishu had already accepted the dowry and sent out invitations. The father and daughter argued fiercely at odds. Madam Qu quickly mediated. In a fit of rage, Qu Huaishu revealed that Qu Manting was born to Madam Qu's sister, Pei Nianqing. Qu Manting was stunned and left in a huff without looking back. Qu Manting bumped into Shen Tingbai as she left. They were speechless and went to find Guo Shuting together.
Huo Xiaoyu prepared a large table of dishes to celebrate her and Guo Shuting's happy new marriage. Gu Yanzhen and Xie Xiang were unaware beforehand. Gu Yanzhen suggested booking a large restaurant for a grand celebration, but Huo Xiaoyu did not want to be extravagant. Just then, Qu Manting and Shen Tingbai came knocking. Guo Shuting reluctantly let them in. Qu Manting was furious when she saw Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzhen holding hands and showing affection.
Shen Tingbai held Qu Manting's hand tightly. As the few of them were about to drink and celebrate, Shen Junshan knocked again. Guo Shuting let him in, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more awkward. Shen Tingbai explained that Shen Junshan had been tirelessly looking for connections to save Xie Xiang. Guo Shuting quickly broke the tension and invited everyone to drink and celebrate his happy new marriage together.
After dinner, Shen Junshan and Xie Xiang said their goodbyes and left. Gu Yanzhen kept watching them closely from the side. Qu Manting reminded Guo Shuting not to always drink and that he should cherish his relationship with Huo Xiaoyu. Guo Shuting took the opportunity to persuade her to be with Shen Tingbai. Qu Manting agreed to give Shen Tingbai a chance. She wanted to ask about her background but hesitated, stopping herself. Qu Manting decided to return to Shanghai.
She hugged Guo Shuting goodbye, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Shen Tingbai did not understand why Qu Manting did not ask Guo Shuting about her background. Qu Manting felt that since everyone had hidden that matter, it was destined to be an unhappy story, and she did not want to pursue it further. Qu Manting wanted to leave Shunyuan, this sorrowful place, and had completely given up on Gu Yanzhen. Shen Tingbai was secretly pleased; he finally had a chance.
Guo Shuting resigned from the military academy and planned to leave Shunyuan city with Huo Xiaoyu. He came to the school to pack his things. The cadets found that Guo Shuting was not only beaming but also had abandoned his usual unkempt appearance. Today, he was clean and tidy, and his military uniform was neatly arranged. Instructor Lv was also puzzled by Guo Shuting's change. Guo Shuting had to admit that he was married to Huo Xiaoyu.
Instructor Lv announced bad news to him: the superior had issued a combat order to blockade the Arsenal Military Academy, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. Guo Shuting could only stay and wait for orders. Xie Xiang vaguely heard the bell of the Arsenal Military Academy. The days she had dreamed of charging into battle were almost here, but she had fallen behind. She was unwilling. Gu Yanzhen gently comforted her.
Instructor Lv issued a combat mission to the cadets: the Arsenal Military Academy was responsible for pinning down and harassing the bandits in Shuanglang Town, and they would act when the main force arrived. Just as Instructor Lv was about to lead the team, he suddenly received an urgent telegram from the headquarters. He immediately left by car, leaving Guo Shuting to lead the team. Instructor Lv arrived at the headquarters on time.
He accidentally saw the combat map through a crack in the door. Immediately afterward, his pistol was confiscated by the guards. Instructor Lv felt something was wrong. He lied that he needed to go to the restroom. He secretly called Guo Shuting. Huo Xiaoyu was not at home, and the phone rang for a long time. Gu Yanzhen did not dare to answer.
