The circumstances surrounding Li Yunlong’s attendance at the banquet were accidentally captured by a photographer on the night of the event, which greatly pleased Yoshio Shinozuka, who had long been unable to identify what Li Yunlong looked like. Upon seeing the photograph, he remarked: "If a person like this Li Yunlong appears in the right place, it will stir up massive trouble." Consequently, a conspiracy against the Independent Regiment began to unfold in secret.
Late one night, while Li Yunlong was out inspecting the sentries, Xiuqin waited for him at the edge of the village. She insisted that they get married as soon as possible, but Li Yunlong held firm, insisting they wait until the war was won. Frustrated, Xiuqin went to see the political commissar.
"We are holding the wedding today. I make the decisions regarding matters of personal life."
