　　Ye Qiu was very shocked.
　　He didn’t expect that Old Tang would come to the Northern Border in person.
　　However, it could also be seen from this that the matter in the Northern Border was very serious.
　　Otherwise, Old Tang and the Military God wouldn’t appear here at the same time.
　　You know, these two are super big shots. Usually, the appearance of one of them is an earth-shattering event. Today, they are gathered here, which can only show that the seriousness of the matter has exceeded Ye Qiu’s expectations.
　　Tang Fei said loudly：
　　”Report to the Chief, Ye Qiu has been brought！”
Youdaoplaceholder0 several pairs of eyes in the conference room fell on Ye Qiu all at once.
　　Ye Qiu stood at attention with his feet together, his head held high and his chest out, saluting Old Tang and the Military God.
　　”Hello, Chief！”
　　Old Tang’s gaze sized up Ye Qiu for a while and then smiled and said： “If I remember correctly, Ye Qiu, this should be our first meeting, right？”
　　“The chief didn’t remember wrongly. I’m meeting you for the first time.” Ye Qiu said respectfully.
　　Old Tang said, “I already know everything you’ve done since joining the Hades Hall. Not bad！”
　　Just two short words, but this showed Old Tang’s recognition of Ye Qiu.
　　“Sit！”
　　Old Tang pointed to the seat opposite the conference table.
　　“Thank　you,　chief.”
　　Ye Qiu quickly sat down, looked at the Military God and Ye Wudi, and nodded slightly to show respect.
　　Ye Wudi smiled. He keenly noticed that Ye Qiu’s cultivation had improved a lot compared to the last time he saw him.
　　”Chief, can we start？” The Military God asked.
　　Old Tang nodded： “Start！”
　　The Military God gave Tang Fei a wink. Tang Fei understood and walked to the door and said to the two bodyguards： “Remember, no one is allowed to approach here. If anyone dares to break in by force, kill without mercy.”
　　”Yes！”
　　The two bodyguards received the order.
　　Subsequently, Tang Fei locked the door of the conference room and sat beside Ye Qiu.
　　The military god said, “Ye Qiu, presumably Tang Fei has told you about the matter in the North Border？”
　　Ye Qiu said, “Tang Fei only told me that the life and death of Marquis Champion Xiao Jiu is unknown, and didn’t say the specific situation. Chief, what exactly happened？”
　　The Military God didn’t answer but asked instead, “Ye Qiu, do you know how Xiao Jiu became the God of War in the North Border？”
　　Ye Qiu shook his head. He knew nothing about Xiao Jiu’s past.
　　The Military God said, “When Xiao Jiu first came to the North Border back then, he was just a small soldier. The reason why he was able to become Marquis Champion and command the North Border, and was promoted so quickly, apart from his outstanding personal ability, was also because of a special battle.”
　　It was because of this battle that opened up the promotion path for Xiao Jiu.
　　This battle is called the Battle of Beigu Pavilion！
　　A look of reminiscence appeared on the Military God’s old face, and he continued to say：
　　Beigu Pavilion is located on the westernmost side of the North Border of China, bordering a neighboring country. It was originally a village.
　　Many years ago, the neighboring country began to continuously invade Beigu Pavilion, and later sent soldiers to station there and forcibly occupied it.
　　How could our country’s territory be violated by others? So, the North Border sent troops to drive away the soldiers of the neighboring country.
　　According to the intelligence, the neighboring country only had a platoon of troops in Beigu Pavilion. For the sake of caution, the North Border sent a reconnaissance company.
　　At that time, Xiao Jiu was serving in the reconnaissance company.
　　But when they arrived at Beigu Pavilion, not only did they not succeed in driving them away, but the other side opened fire first, and the reconnaissance company counterattacked passively.
　　“It was only at this time that the reconnaissance company suddenly discovered that the neighboring country had actually set up an ambush at Beigu Pavilion and deployed a full elite regiment.”
　　“At this time, the way back had been cut off, and the reconnaissance company was surrounded.”
The place of Beigu Pavilion had no signal and it was simply impossible to call for support In a desperate situation. the reconnaissance company resolutely counterattacked and launched a life-and-death battle with the elite regiment of the neighboring country.”
　　“That battle was a river of blood.”
　　“That battle was a field of corpses.”
　　“That battle lasted for a full three hours. All the soldiers of the reconnaissance company sacrificed, and finally, only Xiao Jiu was left.”
　　“And the strength of the elite regiment of the neighboring country was finally reduced to fifty-three people by the reconnaissance company.”
　　“Xiao Jiu did not flinch. At that time, his strength was almost the same as that of the masters on the Tiger List. He single-handedly killed the fifty-three people of the opponent’s elite regiment and inserted the flag on Beigu Pavilion.”
　　“When the medical team arrived, Xiao Jiu was seriously injured and dying. There were seventeen bullet holes and eight knife wounds on his body.”
　　“At that time, the North Border Military Region found the best medical experts to operate on Xiao Jiu. Everyone thought that Xiao Jiu was too seriously injured and the possibility of survival was almost zero.”
　　“But unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu survived by relying on his tenacious will.”
　　Speaking of this, the Military God paused for a moment, took a sip of water, and continued to speak：
　　“Although the Battle of Beigu Pavilion suffered heavy losses, it showed the spirit of our soldiers who are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice.”
　　“The heroic spirit of heaven and earth still awe-inspiring through the ages.”
　　“The soldiers of the reconnaissance company used their blood and lives to interpret the excellent qualities of loyalty, responsibility, bravery and dedication of Huaguo soldiers. Their heroic nature shines with the sun and the moon, and their awe-inspiring righteousness has erected a towering monument！”
　　“Every soldier who sacrificed in the reconnaissance company was finally posthumously awarded the First-Class Merit.”
　　“As for Xiao Jiu who survived, he became famous in the northern border and was commended by the high-level of the northern border. In addition to the First-Class Merit Medal, he also received many honors.”
　　“At that time, I was in charge of the specific work of the military. According to the instructions of Mr. Tang, Xiao Jiu was awarded the honor of ‘Hero of Defending the Country and Garrisoning the Border’, and the heroic deeds of the reconnaissance company and Xiao Jiu were announced to the whole army as an example.”
　　“From then on, Xiao Jiu’s career advanced by leaps and bounds.”
　　“In a short period of time, he grew from a small soldier to the God of War in the northern border.”
“Xiao Jiu’s martial arts also advanced by leaps and bounds at that time. At the age of twenty-five, he won the first place on the Dragon Ranking.
After reaching the first place on the Dragon Ranking, Xiao Jiu entered the enemy country alone and killed three enemy commanders to avenge the brothers who died in Beigu Pavilion that year.”
　　“Subsequently, Mr. Tang named Xiao Jiu as the Champion Marquis and stationed him in the northern border.”
　　“In recent years, it is precisely because of Xiao Jiu sitting in the North Border that the neighboring countries dare not cross the line.”
　　“Xiao Jiu is the bravest in the whole army and guards the North Border like a god, so everyone calls him the God of War in the North Border.”
　　Ye Qiu heard this and asked, “Military God, what does this have to do with Xiao Jiu’s life and death being unknown？”
　　“Just listen to me tell you.”
　　The Military God said, “Yesterday was the 27th day of the seventh lunar month.”
　　“This day is a very special day for Xiao Jiu.”
　　“Because the Battle of Beigu Pavilion in that year took place on the 27th day of the seventh lunar month.”
　　“After Xiao Jiu was granted the title of Champion Marquis and sat in the North Border, he moved the ashes of the soldiers in the reconnaissance company to Beigu Pavilion and built a martyr cemetery, which is called the Beigu Pavilion Martyr Cemetery.”
　　“Every year on the 27th day of the seventh lunar month, Xiao Jiu will bring a few boxes of wine to pay homage to his brothers.”
　　“Xiao Jiu is self-reliant on his high martial arts skills and never asks for the protection of the guards. He only takes two adjutants with him each time.”
　　“Yesterday Xiao Jiu went to Beigu Pavilion to pay homage again, and suddenly something happened！”
