Arsenal Military Academy Episode 5 Recap
> Arsenal Military Academy Recap
Sato Ichio reminded Qu Manting to be careful and not let accidents like the one in Parimor happen again. Qu Manting heard the hidden meaning in his words, so she deliberately hooked her arm around Shen Tingbai's, and with a few words, she angered Sato Ichio away. Shen Tingbai wanted to send someone to protect Qu Manting, but she felt it was unnecessary. Instead, she advised Shen Tingbai not to always confront the Japanese.
Shen Tingbai vowed never to bow his head to the Japanese. Shen Junshan accompanied Xie Xiang to the restroom to wash her face. Xie Xiang tried to send him away, but Shen Junshan insisted on waiting for her outside the door. Xie Xiang was anxious, worried that her secret of disguising herself as a man to attend military academy would be exposed. Assistant Minister Gu highly praised Shen Tingbai.
Shen Tingbai casually mentioned Gu Yanzhen, which hit Assistant Minister Gu's sore spot, and he quickly dodged the conversation. The Bai family and the Shen family were old acquaintances. Miss Bai accompanied her father, Mayor Bai Peiyou, to the dinner. She fell in love with Shen Tingbai at first sight and talked endlessly about their childhood memories. She also proactively invited Shen Tingbai to dance the first dance.
Shen Tingbai originally wanted to dance the first song with Qu Manting, but he really couldn't refuse Miss Bai's face, so he danced gracefully with her. Qu Manting was very annoyed, and Miss Song and Miss Du took the opportunity to mock her profusely. Qu Manting was very embarrassed, so Gu Yanzhen asked her to dance, she agreed without hesitation. Xie Xiang finished washing her face and hid in the restroom, not daring to come out.
Shen Junshan continued to wait outside the door. Qu Manting and Gu Yanzhen danced together perfectly, and everyone stopped to admire their performance. Gu Yanzhen helped Qu Manting out of her predicament, but she didn't appreciate it at all. Xie Xiang seized the opportunity and quietly opened the door, rushing downstairs. She accidentally knocked over a waiter's glass and broke it. She was so scared that she quickly ran away. Gu Yanzhen happened to see this scene.
On the way home, Gu Zongtang asked Gu Yanzhen about Shen Junshan's situation at school and advised him to keep a distance from Shen Junshan to avoid being implicated. However, Gu Yanzhen didn't take it seriously and even complained that he was timid and afraid of trouble.
The driver, Old Zhao, couldn't stand Gu Yanzhen being so cold to his father, so he quietly reminded him to be more considerate of his father and told him about Assistant Minister Gu's recent troubles. Japan was increasing its troops in Feng'an, and Assistant Minister Gu had neither manpower nor money. He hadn't slept for several days. Gu Yanzhen asked Old Zhao to help him investigate the female guest surnamed Xie who attended the dinner tonight.
Huo Xiaoyu saw that there was a hole in Guo Shuting's military uniform and quickly took it off to mend it for him. Huo Xiaoyu had a suit custom-made for him and asked him to try it on when he had time. Guo Shuting felt that he wouldn't have an opportunity to wear it. Huo Xiaoyu told him to wear the suit to Pei Nianqing's birthday, and Guo Shuting quickly made an excuse and left.
That night, the more Gu Yanzhen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had clearly seen Xie Xiang wearing women's clothes at the dinner. Huang Song accompanied Xie Xiang to the shooting range to practice shooting. Xie Xiang was worried about not being able to complete the field training in two days. Huang Song promised to help her with all his might.
Just as Xie Xiang was about to leave, Gu Yanzhen suddenly came to the shooting range and deliberately bumped Xie Xiang's chest, teasing that her chest was very large and threatening to touch it himself. Xie Xiang fled in a panic. Shen Junshan sent people to protect Qu Manting 24 hours a day, not allowing her to go out casually. Qu Manting was so bothered by this that she could only obediently stay in her room.
Qu Manting suddenly thought of a safe filming location and immediately asked Xiao Tao to contact Director Lu. They went together to Qu Manting's old residence from her early years to film. Today, the cadets were going to conduct a field combat exercise, and Xie Xiang felt uneasy. Sanada was ordered to follow Qu Manting. Even though the military restricted area was ahead, they continued forward without hesitation, following Qu Manting's car all the way.
As the exercise began, Xie Xiang and Huang Song hurried to the rendezvous point, but unexpectedly encountered enemy cadets. Xie Xiang eliminated them all, and the cadets had no choice but to return to report. Xie Xiang suddenly heard a burst of dense gunfire in the woods. Shen Junshan also realized that the gunfire was not from their blank exercise rounds but from live ammunition, and he quickly took Gu Yanzhen and others over to investigate.
Sanada led his men to pursue Qu Manting, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Yang. The three of them ran desperately. Qu Manting didn't want to implicate the other two; she drew the Japanese's attention away, covering Xiao Tao and Xiao Yang's escape. Huang Song told Xie Xiang to go for reinforcements, while he stayed behind to deal with the enemy. Li Wenzhong and Zhu Yanlin got separated.
He accidentally found Xie Xiang and, in a fit of anger, pushed her into a deep pit. Huang Song followed the sound of gunfire all the way and ended up meeting Shen Junshan, Ji Jin, Zhu Yanlin, and Gu Yanzhen. They also didn't know what was going on with the gunfire just now. Gu Yanzhen learned that Xie Xiang had gone to contact them, but there had been no news of her. He immediately turned back to look for her.
Shen Junshan told Ji Jin to return to headquarters to report the enemy situation, and he put Huang Song and Zhu Yanlin in a group. They split up to go back and search for Xie Xiang. Suddenly, a torrential rain began to fall. Xie Xiang was woken up by the rain. She struggled to get up and discovered that her leg was injured. But the pit was too deep and slippery, and she tried several times but couldn't climb out.
Shen Junshan searched for Xie Xiang in the rain and finally found her in the deep pit. Shen Junshan used all his strength to pull her up and bandaged her injured leg. Xie Xiang clearly remembered someone deliberately pushing her, but she didn't see the person's face. Shen Junshan suspected it was done by an insider and advised Xie Xiang to be careful in the future.
Li Wenzhong had been hiding in the woods, not daring to come out, until he met Ji Jin. Only then did the two of them hurry back together. While Gu Yanzhen was searching everywhere for Xie Xiang, he unexpectedly ran into Qu Manting, who was hiding in the bushes. Qu Manting couldn't distinguish friend from foe and knocked Gu Yanzhen unconscious with a stick. Xie Xiang couldn't walk because of her leg injury, so Shen Junshan carried her back to the camp.
