Midnight trial

  Luo Yi was calculating the time in history, now it's already November 1933, the Nationalist army is launching its fifth encirclement campaign against the Soviet area with a large number of troops. The Red Army, under the guidance of the left-leaning line, is engaged in a fierce and hard battle with the Nationalist army, and will soon fall into a predicament. Within a year, the Central Red Army will abandon the Central Soviet Area and embark on the Long March. Now joining the Red Army would only mean following them to climb snow-capped mountains and traverse grasslands, and his small team might not even be able to make a splash before being consumed. As a time-traveler, since he had no ability to change all this, at least he could avoid becoming a martyr.

  "Don't think about joining the Red Army. And don't mention this female Red Army soldier to anyone," Luo Yi instructed, "If someone finds out about this girl, just say she's my relative, who fell and got injured while picking herbs in the mountains and is recovering here. After a few days, if she can walk again, we'll send her away."

  "Understood." Several subordinates responded in unison.

  The female Red Army soldier soon woke up, and the elder sister from the town gave her medicine to drink and re-bandaged her wound. The female Red Army soldier asked: "Elder sister, thank you for saving me, where am I?"

  Sister-in-law said: "It wasn't me who saved you, it was the town's security team that saved you. You're currently in the security team's headquarters."

  The female Red Army soldier was startled, stretched out her hand to touch her own gun, touched an empty space, and knew that the gun had been confiscated. Looking out again, two soldiers were standing at the door, holding guns, whether they were loaded with real bullets or not was unclear. It was clear that she had been taken into custody.

  The female Red Army soldier put on a stern expression and said to the guard at the door, "You soldiers, go call your officer over."

  Luo Yi received the news and brought Wang Da Cheng along. The female Red Army was already dressed neatly, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at Luo Yi with her head held high, asking expressionlessly: "You two, who is the official?"

  Wang Dacheng pointed at Luo Yi and said: "He is our captain."

  The female Red Army then said to Luo Yi: "Speak up, don't beat around the bush. What is it that you want to do?"

  Luo Yi carefully illuminated the female Red Army soldier with the light, her face had been washed clean by Da Jie, and her short hair that reached her ears had also been combed through. She no longer looked like the disheveled and dirty girl Luo Yi saw during the day. Luo Yi discovered that this female Red Army soldier was very young, looking only slightly older than Zeng Shan, probably around 16 or 17 years old. She had a pair of bright big eyes, which made her whole person appear elegant and beautiful. In order to show her unyielding spirit, she pursed her lips tightly, making them look very thin, which made Luo Yi wickedly think of the word "sexy".

  Lu Yi stared at the little girl's tightly pursed lips for a long time before suddenly bursting out laughing.

  "What...what are you laughing at?" The girl had been trying her best to hold it in, but seeing Luo Yi laugh even harder, she finally spoke up in protest.

  "Oh, so there's nothing after all. Sorry about that, I made a mistake." Luo Yi said seriously.

  "What's wrong?" The girl was a bit dazed.

  Luo Yi said: "I just saw you closing your mouth so tightly, I thought you had eaten something secretly and were afraid that I would see it..."

  "You..." The girl was taken aback, subconsciously clenched her fist and wanted to hit Luo Yi, but then thought of her identity as a captive, so she put down her fist.

  "Who's been flattering you?" the girl scolded.

  "What's with the oily mouth?" Luo Yi recalled a phrase from Chengguan and asked Wang Dacheng with a straight face, "What's going on? Why did you put so much oil in tonight's dishes? Look, even the girl thinks I have an oily mouth."

  "Captain, the dish doesn't have too much oil, you forgot, it was you who sneaked into the kitchen to drink a spoonful of oil." Wang Dacheng saw Luo Yi making random jokes and didn't know what his motive was, so he played along.

  "You... I won't bother with you anymore!" The girl turned her back in anger, pursing her lips to stifle a smile.

  Luo Yi bowed to the girl and said: "Then I won't disturb you anymore, miss. You should get some rest."

  "Come back!"

  Luo Yi said: "Actually, I didn't leave at all." Isn't that right? It was this girl who had someone call him over, how could she possibly let him leave before they finished talking?

  "You brought me here, what do you want to do?"

  Luo Yi said: "First, I want to correct you on one thing. We didn't capture you, we rescued you. Take a look at this strange uncle next to me. If he hadn't shot and killed the National Army soldiers and carried you back here, you would have been taken to the county prison by now. Don't you want to thank Uncle?"

  Wang Dacheng curled his lips and thought to himself, "I'm only one or two years older than you, and I'm not even six or seven years older than this girl. How did I become a big uncle?" However, he was already used to Luo Yi's nonsense and didn't bother correcting him.

  The girl looked at Wang Dacheng and also saw that he didn't look like a big uncle, so she couldn't help but discount Luo Yi's words by several points: "You're deceiving people, you're not the security team, are you? You're in cahoots with the National Army, how could you have killed someone from the National Army?"

  "Who says the security guards and the national army are in cahoots? Do we look like we're in cahoots?"

  "You... you must be in cahoots with each other." The girl was dizzy from Luo Yi's words, "If you're not in cahoots, why doesn't the National Army attack you?"

  Luo Yi said: "If we are in cahoots with each other, why would we fight against the National Army?"

  "Hmph, play logic with me and see if you can't be wrapped around my finger," Luo Yi thought.

  "Because... because... who knows if you didn't beat the National Army to death? Anyway, you're all in cahoots." The girl couldn't outtalk Luo Yi after all, and had no choice but to resort to trickery. Who says the Red Army can't be tricky too?

  "Alright alright, let's say we're in this together. Now you're our captive, speak up."

  "What did you say?"

  "What's your name, what do you do, and why are you being chased by the National Army?"

  "I'm not telling you!" The girl found her tone, this is what it's like to be interrogated by a reactionary, earlier was just... anyway, it wasn't right.

  "Why?" Luo Yi asked, pretending to be confused.

  "It's up to you whether I live or die, but don't even think about asking me about my past." The girl was still being stubborn.

  "Really?"

  "Of course it's true."

  Luo Yi turned his head and shouted at the door: "Jiang Fangyong!"

  Goalkeeper Jiang Fangyong stepped forward and replied: "Here."

  "Go and find two brothers to come, strip this girl naked, and tie her up on the big tree at the town entrance."

  "What?!" Jiang Fangyong was stunned, "You're not supposed to play like this, are you?"

  "How dare you!" The girl's voice trembled with fear.

  "It's okay, it's evening now, no one can see us, it's very cool there and there are no mosquitoes." Luo Yi said to her in a gentle tone.

  "You... you... dare!" The girl said with a stern and gentle tone, her voice dropping by an octave.

  Lu Yi smiled and said, it seems that this is the only trick to deal with women, countless people have introduced this trick before, if Lu Yi can't use it, it's a pity.

  "So the Red Army also has something to be afraid of? Tell me, what's your name?"

  "My name is Yuan Jing!" The aunt was stunned.

  "Is it these two words?" Luo Yi wet his hand with some water and wrote the two words "Yuan Jing" on the table.

  Yuan Jing nodded and said: "I didn't expect that you, a security team leader, can still recognize characters."

  "What's going on?"

  "Red Army soldier, didn't you already know?"

  "Are you a warrior with a rifle? The Red Army is really rich. And there aren't many people in the Red Army who can read, are there?"

  "I am the warrior!"

  "Jiang Fangyong!" Luo Yi shouted again, reenacting his old trick.

  Yuan Jingzhen was frightened and stuttered, "I am the platoon's instructor."

  Luo Yi suddenly felt a sense of admiration again, a 16 or 17-year-old girl was already an instructor, it seemed that the era was indeed a heroic generation.

  "How did you get chased by the National Army?"

  "I led a small team out on a mission and encountered the White Guards along the way, causing everyone to scatter. A few of the White Guards chased me all the way down this road, but I managed to kill two of them."

  "What task is being executed?"

  "This is a secret of the Red Army, I cannot say." Yuan Jing said. She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Fangyong standing at the door and added: "Even if you threaten me again, I won't say it."

  Lu Yi nodded and said: "Oh, never mind if you don't want to say it. It's not a big deal anyway. We can talk about it later. It's getting late, go to sleep first, we'll chat again tomorrow."

  Yuan Jing felt a bit strange: "You haven't said how you plan to deal with me yet."

  Luo Yi said: "Actually, I wanted you to be my mistress. But looking at how fierce you are, I don't dare to want you. So forget it, once you're healed, go wherever you want."

  Yuan Jing listened to Luo Yi's nonsense, wanting to protest, but felt it was useless. She hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is what you're saying true? Are you really willing to let me go?"

  Luo Yi said: "You go ahead and rest for now, when you're healed you can leave. I've heard that Red Army soldiers have big appetites, I won't be able to afford to keep you... Ah, speaking of which, I just remembered, you must be starving after a whole day without food, do you want something to eat?"

  "It's all right." Yuan Jing replied subconsciously.

  "Then go to sleep." Luo Yi stood up and walked out, when he reached the door, he heard Yuan Jing say in a very small voice behind him: "If... there's something ready-made, I can eat a little too."

  Luo Yi burst out laughing: "You Red Army are really stubborn, even when you're hungry, you still insist on being tough. Someone come and bring over the chicken soup, find someone to feed it to Grandma Red Army."

  "What nonsense are you talking about!" Yuan Jing stamped her foot in protest, "You're the grandma... You're the bandit grandfather."

  "Right, I'm the grandfather and you're the grandmother, isn't that something... Oh my god!" Luo Yi hastily ran out of the room because he saw Yuan Jing had already picked up a stool from the ground and was about to hit him with it.
