After waking up

After reacting, Li Xiu was not only ridiculous and angry, but also began to panic in his heart. He, a small second lieutenant with no power, was suddenly charged with such a crime that he could not bear. If he was found guilty, What will be the result?

It’s okay to have been unconscious or critically ill. Now that I’m awake, the result may be

Shoot!

No, because he was a descendant of a baron family and legally belonged to the aristocratic system. The corpse would be given a certain amount of dignity, so it was more likely to be hanged.

Li Xiu slapped his face, it would be better to shoot him!

Moreover, the other party may have formed a group and made preparations for a series of collusive confessions. When the trial is over and the remaining culpability of the Moxialing Front is evenly shared, everyone's pressure will be relieved, and the guilt will not have much impact.

"Second lieutenant, ensign?"

The soldier shouted twice to bring Li Xiu back to his senses.

"Second Lieutenant, what can we do? I have inquired. If found guilty, we will retire unconditionally at most, and you may be sentenced to death."

The soldier's words were extremely sincere. Because of the command of the second lieutenant in front of him, he led everyone to break out desperately and brought back the remaining 77 lives of the third battalion. Everyone sincerely respected this young commander. What was established in the war was true iron-blooded and fierce fighting. Love in the flames.

Of course Li Xiu doesn't want to die. He won't place any hope on the illusion that he can "go home" if he dies here. He only has one life. If he dies, he may lose everything. Whether he starts over here or finds a way to go back, he has to live. This is the current level.

Think of a way!

Li Xiu's brows furrowed into a frown, and he was thinking hard about countermeasures but felt quite helpless. The court will be held tomorrow, and there must be many officers on the trial committee who are here to make up the number!

But it is not hopeless. Mulan's memories keep sliding in his mind. The memory of the recent war and some contents that have become profound and basic cognition emerge first.

Although after this war, Li Xiu felt that the Dilga army was very unbearable, it was not completely corrupted after all. The Dilga royal family was also famous for its centralization of power, and at least on the surface it would not allow complete collusion with the military court trial committee.

On the bright side, some of the members who went to the enemy for armistice negotiations might also participate in the trial, let alone me, Mullan Jonest.

Li Xiu's mind was running rapidly, constantly synthesizing the current situation and the thinking logic of the 21st century, speculating on the current situation and possible results, and thinking of ways to save himself.

After thinking about it, Li Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the soldier.

"Do you know the specific charges against us?"

The soldier thought carefully and quickly gave the answer.

"This is no longer a secret, it's just that we found out too late. The crime was probably to abandon the front and run away, exposing the flanks of the main force and becoming the starting point for the collapse of the front. These bastards, we obviously held out the longest and were forced to cover the retreat. , so we almost couldn’t come back to these bastards! They originally thought you were dying, Lieutenant, and wanted to throw dirty water on you directly."

"etc!"

Li Xiu immediately stopped the soldiers' angry chattering. He seemed to have grasped a key!

"Escaped at the last minute. You said they planned to hold the trial without a defendant because I was near death and unconscious?"

"Yes."

"I will appear in court!"

After hearing the second lieutenant's words, the soldiers perked up. The only one who could stand up for them was Second Lieutenant Jones. But when he looked at the bandages and pale face of the second lieutenant, his face was full of worry.

"Lieutenant, your body"

Li Xiu had some thoughts about what he was accused of. After his thoughts turned, he looked at the soldier again, interrupted the other person's words, and called the other person's name for the first time.

"No matter how bad your health is, you still have to appear in court. Jerry, I want you to do me a favor. This is related to our honor and my life!"

Jerry immediately stood up straight.

"Second Lieutenant, give me the order. Jerry will fight to the death to complete the mission! The lives of our 77 brothers are all yours!"

In fact, according to the "Nobles' Convention", even if Second Lieutenant Jones surrenders and is captured, he will be given basic treatment and has the right to redeem himself. It will just be very embarrassing. According to the usual practice, he will be "captured after resisting vigorously". The pursuit of responsibility will not be too exaggerated.

But once an ordinary soldier is captured, the fate of an ordinary soldier is to be a coolie that is worse than a slave for the rest of his life. Death may be better, but not everyone has the courage to commit suicide.

Therefore, Second Lieutenant Jonest worked hard to successfully withdraw with the third battalion in a desperate situation. Everyone was completely devoted to him. Jerry's words were definitely not empty words at this moment.

"I believe you!"

As memory and body instincts replaced Mulan's feelings, Li Xiu also developed a strong trust in his soldiers.

"I want you to help me deliver the message as quickly as possible. I hope all brothers will be ready tomorrow. At the same time, it is best to find friends from other battalions or other regiments to help."

Li Xiulu said a lot one after another, thinking and adding as he spoke, and finally gave a solemn instruction.

"Let brothers be angry, but not too excited!"

Jerry listened carefully the whole time, not daring to miss any detail, and then gave a military salute.

"Sir, we will never take your life for granted! I will leave immediately."

After saluting, Jerry did not dare to delay, and immediately left the tent as instructed by the second lieutenant. He only had one night to prepare, so he had to hurry up. He didn't know how the second lieutenant could appear in court with such serious injuries and severe blood loss, but he had no conditions. Believe in yourself, sir!

As soon as Jerry left, Li Xiu let out a long sigh of relief. Although he was not sure whether he could pass this level, he didn't like to leave it to fate. At least he had tried hard!

Thinking this, Li Xiu also subconsciously looked at the pistol in the bag, thinking about the worst outcome.

About ten minutes later, the nurse came belatedly with the doctor who she didn't know where to find. When checking Li Xiu's body, the latter also hurriedly asked about his physical condition in detail.

The next morning, an officer with a warrant officer epaulette led two military policemen to the outside of the tent where Mulan was located. After a pause for a few seconds, the warrant officer nodded towards the military policemen, and one of them immediately opened the curtain to tie him up. Okay, then the warrant officer walked in.

Mulan had already woken up on the bed and asked the nurse to bring toiletries. With the help of the latter, she simply washed her face and brushed her teeth. She instantly felt buffed.

The military police have never had a good reputation in the military. When they came in, they startled the nurse who was checking the gauze for Li Xiu.

"Gendarmes? What do you want to do?"

The nurse asked cautiously, but the military police warrant officer's face was expressionless, and his attention was mainly focused on Li Xiu.

"Let's deliver orders to Lieutenant Jonster, Miss Nurse."

"I, I'm going to find a doctor!"

The nurse panicked. All she could think of was calling the doctor, so she ran out quickly.

Li Xiu frowned. He and the military police were the only ones left in the tent. He suddenly became nervous. The leather bag with the gun was on the side of the hospital bed, ready to draw the gun at any time.

In the eyes of this military police warrant officer, the person on the bed was still pale and seriously injured, and it seemed difficult to move. As expected, the condition would not be much better even if he woke up from a coma after being seriously injured and dying.

But no matter what other people’s circumstances are, routine is still necessary.

The warrant officer didn't have anything to say. He took out a document and showed it to Li Xiu before saying.

"Second Lieutenant Mullan Jonest, you have been charged with a felony."

The warrant officer read out the document and stated the fact that Li Xiu would be the defendant. At the end, he asked a symbolic question.

"Lieutenant Jonest, are you going to appear in court?"

Li Xiu was lying on the hospital bed, with a pale face but no fear. With a slightly hoarse voice, after being surprised, he asked in a very serious tone.

"Are we being accused?"

The warrant officer showed the document again.

"Yes, and the court will be held in the afternoon. Considering your physical condition, the committee has allowed you not to appear in court. Someone will defend you."

Li Xiu sneered. He couldn't believe the defender at all.

"Okay, although I don't know what happened while I was in a coma, but even if it is for the sake of glory and for the brothers who died in the battle, I have to appear in court!"

The warrant officer looked at the second lieutenant's body, which was covered in bandages and bleeding everywhere.

"The court is not close to here. The carriage bumps all the way. You may not be able to hold on to the trial."

Li Xiu had no expression on his face and just said a simple sentence.

"Please allow me to bring my personal belongings."

"Okay, let's get on the stretcher."

The warrant officer nodded and waved to the gendarmes beside him. The two gendarmes, one after the other, grabbed the prepared stretcher with four hands and put it away, without making any other movements.

The stretcher was still at least two meters away from Li Xiu's bed.

Li Xiu looked at the warrant officer, and then at the two military policemen. He was silent for just two seconds. Then he gritted his teeth and relied on his right hand and waist strength to endure the intense pain. In the surprised eyes of the warrant officer and military policemen, Li Xiu said, Little by little he sat up from the bed.

It hurts!

It hurts like hell!

But you have to be tough and hold on! Li Xiu kept hypnotizing himself, I am a tough guy, I am a tough guy!

They just think that if I can't go to court, then I have to go!

"Clark la la la."

There was a creaking sound from the side of the hospital bed. Li Xiu's eyes were bloodshot, and veins popped out in the muscles of his right arm. What he couldn't do yesterday, he did it today with a strong force.

call.

After sitting up completely, Li Xiu exhaled slowly with a slight trembling. His pale face was covered with fine beads of sweat. After sitting up, he remained silent. Then he gritted his teeth again, turned sideways, and supported himself with his right arm. The edge of the bed, and then stood up slowly.

After talking to the doctor, he found out that his right leg had no injuries to the muscles and bones, and he could theoretically walk by force.

Li Xiu looked up at the person who came to deliver the order. The person was no longer as arrogant as he was at the beginning, and the two military policemen carrying the stretcher were a little at a loss.

In the eyes of the warrant officer, Second Lieutenant Jonest's face was fierce and ferocious, and the muscles on his body were trembling. He finally stood up straight slowly. During this process, the sweat on his face increased visibly, but he did not shout from the beginning to the end. He didn't even call for help.

Just by looking at it, one could tell that the second lieutenant was enduring intense pain at the moment.

"What are you doing? How can you stand up? How can you stand up!"

The nurse who went to find the doctor finally ran over with the doctor. When he entered the tent, he saw the second lieutenant already standing in front of the bed.

The nurse was still covering her mouth, and the doctor with a shocked look on his face had already rushed over.

"The military police must also respect the patient. His injury is too serious and he cannot move!"

The doctor yelled at the military police angrily, and Li Xiu spoke up at this time.

"Doctor, Miss Nurse, no matter what, I have to go to the military court. This is about life, and more importantly, it is about the dignity of myself and the brothers of the third battalion!"

At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Second Lieutenant Jonest's face was pale, but his eyes were shining with a firm light that could not be stared at, making it difficult for people to even say words of comfort.

"you"

The warrant officer couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart. Before he came, he looked down upon the rumored Second Lieutenant Jonster. But now, he didn't look like a criminal officer with a bad temper who had escaped from the battle and was shot by the soldiers.

"Warrant Officer, let's go!"

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the stretcher. Doctors and nurses quickly stepped forward to help him.

"I'll help you!" "Be careful!"

The doctor and the nurse knew how bad the lieutenant's physical condition was due to the combination of injuries and illnesses. It would be impossible for him to stand up if he had any one of them. She was really shocked by the scene just now.

The two military policemen also subconsciously cooperated, allowing Li Xiu to lie down on the stretcher in a suitable posture.

"What a mess, what a mess. If you must go, then I will go too. I don't want you to die on the way!"

The doctor knew about the charges in the military court yesterday. At this moment, he was also infected by Second Lieutenant Jonest's will, packed up the medical box and followed him.

"Thanks!"

Li Xiu did not refuse the help at this moment. The pain made him breathe quickly and carefully, but everyone present was already in awe.

If the nurses and doctors don't help each other, the warrant officer even wants to help the other person himself. He secretly regrets his previous behavior. As a military policeman, he usually does not directly participate in battles, but he has always admired heroes and martyrs the most, so he heard about Mulan's crime before. He was becoming more and more disgusted with it, and although there was no evidence at this moment, he had a vague feeling that the accusation might be wrong.

"Second Lieutenant Jones, you are a respectable soldier! Let's go. If you need anything else, feel free to ask."

"Need not!"

Li Xiu didn't even look at the warrant officer and decisively rejected his proposal. The latter nodded towards the two military policemen.

"Hold it steady!"

In order to make the stretcher more stable, they did not move fast.

The little nurse was almost next to the stretcher. She heard the soldiers of the third battalion talk about how tenacious they were and how brave the second lieutenant was. She used to think that there was more to bragging, but today she seemed to really feel it. She knew that the second lieutenant might really He is a heroic figure!

Under the worry and other messy emotions, the little nurse's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. From time to time, she would wipe Li Xiu's sweat and ask him if he was thirsty.

When passing by a section of soldiers' barracks, some soldiers saw the scene of military police carrying a stretcher. Then many soldiers came out to watch, and many people whispered.

"Who is that?" "I don't know, do you know?"

"The second lieutenant of the third battalion, is he second lieutenant Jonest?"

"I heard that most of the people in the third battalion died in the battle."

"Where are they going?" "I don't know."

"That's the military police. I heard that there is a temporary military court in Dia City. Is he going to be tried?"

"No way!"

Although he knew that it was impossible to go from the garrison camp to Dia City in such a long time, when he saw the carriage, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't have to worry about missing the court session.

It was a black four-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses. It had a door on one side, a pedal, and glass on both sides. There were two rows of cushions inside, and the space could also accommodate a stretcher. It was much better than expected.
