　　Ye Qiu really wasn’t wrong. The soldiers of the special warfare company had already arranged the mourning hall and were ready to hold a memorial service for him.
　　The auditorium of the special warfare company’s station.
　　At this time, it was solemn and solemn, and the funeral music was playing softly.
　　At the top of the auditorium, a black banner with white characters was hung, on which were written eight big characters： “Mourn deeply for Comrade Ye Qiu！”
　　On both sides, a couplet was also hung.
　　The upper couplet is： Do good deeds all one’s life and leave a good name through the ages;
　　The lower couplet is： The pure heart is like the night moon, and the noble righteousness reaches the sky.
　　Below the horizontal banner is Ye Qiu’s portrait.
　　Since Ye Qiu’s body has not been found yet, a scarecrow was made according to Ye Qiu’s appearance and height and placed in the midst of fresh flowers and green cypresses, covered with a bright red national flag.
　　Long Ye led a part of the soldiers of the special warfare company and stood in the auditorium.
　　As for the other soldiers, they were waiting outside the auditorium because the memorial service had not officially started yet.
　　Long Ye asked the soldier beside him, “Where is Chief of Staff Tang？”
　　Chief of Staff Tang is still at the deep pit.” The soldier replied.
　　Long Ye looked at his watch and said, “The farewell ceremony will be held in another twenty minutes. Why hasn’t he come yet？”
　　The soldier said, “Chief of Staff Tang still can’t accept the fact that Doctor Ye has sacrificed. Company Commander, why don’t you go and persuade him？”
　　After all, Doctor Ye is from the Underworld Palace, and Chief of Staff Tang is his superior.
　　If Chief of Staff Tang doesn’t attend the farewell ceremony, it won’t be right！”
　　Long Ye turned around and left.
　　A　moment　later.
　　Long Ye saw Tang Fei.
From a distance, Tang Fei was seen kneeling on the yellow sand at the edge of the deep pit, Youdaoplaceholder0 the ground with his fists.
　　When Long Ye saw this scene, he wiped away a tear and came to the back of Tang Fei.
　　“Lao Tang, the mourning hall has been arranged, and the farewell ceremony is about to begin. Come back with me.” Long Ye said softly.
　　Tang Fei suddenly stood up, his eyes glaring at Long Ye and shouted： “What did you say？”
　　“I said the mourning hall has been arranged, and we will go to see off Ye Qiu together…”
　　Peng！
　　Before Long Ye could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Tang Fei.
　　“Your mother’s fart！ Ye Qiu is not dead yet. What kind of farewell ceremony are you holding？ Take down the mourning hall！” Tang Fei shouted.
　　Long Ye got up from the ground and sighed： “Lao Tang, accept the fact！”
　　“I can’t accept it！” Tang Fei said loudly with red eyes： “Ye Qiu’s body has not been found yet, which means he may still be alive. As long as we continue to look, we will definitely be able to find him！”
　　Long Ye said： “Nearly a hundred hours have passed since Ye Qiu had an accident.”
　　“So many of us have searched for four days and four nights without rest, and the deep pit has been dug 150 meters. Various search and rescue instruments have not detected any sign of life. How could Ye Qiu still be alive？”
　　“Lao Tang, I know you are feeling bad. I am also feeling bad in my heart.”
　　“Ye Qiu is your brother, and he is also my brother. I don’t want him to sacrifice either. If I could exchange my life for his life, I, Long Ye, would never frown.”
　　“But now, whether we are willing to accept it or not, can accept it or not, we must accept this fact.”
　　“Lao Tang, come with me to see Ye Qiu off！”
　　“You are the chief of staff of the Hades Palace and Ye Qiu’s superior. You should participate in the farewell ceremony.”
　　“Besides, the brothers are all waiting for you！”
Tang Fei shouted angrily: “I don’t understand. Ye Qiu hasn’t been found yet. Why did your grandfather withdraw the people of the engineering “regiment?”
　　Long Ye’s grandfather is General Long Haisheng, the commander of the Northwest Military Region. On the morning of the second day after Ye Qiu had an accident, Long Haisheng led the senior officials of the Northwest Military Region to the scene to guide the rescue.”
　　For this reason, he also specifically sent an engineering regiment to help the special warfare company search and rescue Ye Qiu. At that time, Long Haisheng also assured Tang Fei that he would spare no effort to find Ye Qiu, alive or dead.”
　　But just yesterday, Long Haisheng suddenly ordered the withdrawal of the engineering regiment.”
“This made Tang Fei feel puzzled, angry and desperate.”
　　Long Ye replied： “I specifically called my grandfather yesterday. He told me that Ye Qiu has been out for more than 100 hours and it is impossible to be still alive. So continuing the search and rescue is of no significance at all.”
　　“But I know my grandfather’s character. He loves his soldiers like his own sons and will not easily give up the lives of his soldiers. Besides, Ye Qiu is still my savior. He will not withdraw the engineering regiment for no reason. There must be something inside that I don’t know.”
　　“I asked him what the reason was for him to withdraw the engineering regiment. My grandfather didn’t tell me and told me not to ask more questions.”
　　“Old Tang, you called the Military God yesterday and the Military God also instructed you to stop the search and rescue. Don’t you want to think about why？”
　　Tang Fei still hasn’t figured out this problem until now.
　　The Military God’s attitude before was also very firm, repeatedly saying that Ye Qiu must be found. But yesterday, the Military God’s attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn and instructed Tang Fei to stop the search and rescue.
　　Tang Fei was extremely angry, but couldn’t change the result.
　　He is a soldier, and it is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders！
　　After the engineering corps withdrew yesterday, Tang Fei has been staying here at the deep pit, continuing to dig. So far, Ye Qiu has not been found.
“Old Tang, we have all done our best. I believe that if Ye Qiu has a spirit in heaven, he will not blame us. “Long Ye persuaded again:” Let’s go. The brothers are waiting for you.”
Tang Fei looked at the deep pit, then knelt down and kowtowed three times, and turned to walk towards the residence of the special warfare company.
　　“When I return to the capital, I will definitely ask the Military God for an explanation of why he didn’t let me continue to rescue Ye Qiu？”
　　Although Tang Fei decided to attend the memorial service, he still wasn’t reconciled.
　　“Don’t worry. After the matter here is dealt with, I will also go home and ask my grandfather for an explanation. No matter what the reason is, I must know.” Long Ye followed up and said.
　　After a while, the two came to the auditorium.
　　Tang Fei stood at the entrance of the auditorium, looking at Ye Qiu’s portrait. All kinds of past events played back in his mind like a movie. He couldn’t hold back anymore, and two lines of tears rolled down.
　　A man doesn’t shed tears easily, just because he hasn’t reached the point of sadness.
　　“Ye Qiu, it’s me who’s sorry for you！”
　　“I hope you have a spirit in the sky and don’t blame the brothers. The brothers have all done their best. If you want to blame, blame me！”
　　“I know you and your mother depend on each other for life, and the one you can’t let go of the most is her. I promise you here that from now on, I will regard your mother as my own mother. I will take care of her for you. When she passes away, I will provide for her in her old age and see her off when she dies.”
　　“Ye Qiu, my comrade-in-arms, my brother, you… have a good journey！”
　　Dong！
　　Tang Fei knelt on the ground, grief-stricken.
　　The soldiers of the special warfare company also burst into tears one by one.
　　However, just at this time, an untimely laughter sounded at the door： “Yo, are you having a celebration banquet？”
