Old Tang was a bit surprised.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu actually asked him to borrow Ye Wudi.
Ye Qiu explained, “Ye Wudi is a super expert. This trip to rescue Xiao Jiu is very dangerous. I want to ask Ye Wudi to give me a helping hand.”
In front of Old Tang, Ye Qiu didn’t mention that Ye Wudi was his third uncle.
“Okay.” Old Tang agreed without hesitation and ordered Ye Wudi, “You assist Ye Qiu in rescuing Xiao Jiu. In this mission, Ye Qiu is the main one and you are the assistant.”
“Yes！” Ye Wudi replied loudly.
Old Tang then asked, “Ye Qiu, do you have any other requests？”
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “No.”
Old Tang said, “Ye Qiu, you should understand the importance of Xiao Jiu to the Northern Region.”
“So, be sure to bring back Xiao Jiu.”
“There’s no time to lose. Let’s start the action！”
With an order from Old Tang, Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi prepared to act.
“Tang Fei, Deputy Officer Wei, you send Ye Qiu to the border.” After giving the order, the Military God said kindly again, “Ye Qiu, Wudi, be careful on this trip.”
“Hmm.”
Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi responded and walked out of the conference room.
Just then, the Military God coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Qiu’s footsteps stopped, and he hurriedly asked, “Chief, what’s wrong with you？”
The Military God said, “There is a little problem with my body recently, it’s okay.”
”Chief, let me take a look at you！” Ye Qiu said and walked towards the Military God.
”No need！” The Military God raised his hand to stop Ye Qiu and said, “Rescuing Xiao Jiu is a major matter, and the North Border cannot be chaotic. If the major matter is delayed for an old man like me, then my sin will be great.”
Ye Qiu thought for a while and said, “Then I will treat your illness when I come back.”
”Okay.” A smile finally appeared on the Military God’s face.
Ye Qiu and the others quickly left the conference room.
……
Three o’clock in the morning.
The snow is falling heavily.
Beigu Pavilion, Martyrs Cemetery.
A military jeep slowly stopped at the entrance of the cemetery.
Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi got out of the car and looked up. They saw that there were hundreds of soldiers stationed at the entrance of the Martyrs Cemetery.
Fully armed.
Be on full alert.
The lights are brightly lit.
”You two, since the incident happened yesterday, I have sent people to block off the cemetery.” Wei Lingxin said.
”Let’s go in and take a look！” Ye Qiu said and strode towards the cemetery.
Ye Wudi, Tang Fei, and Wei Lingxin followed behind him.
Stepping into the gate, the first thing that catches the eye is a wide bluestone step.
On both sides of the steps, there stand tall and straight cypresses, like tall soldiers, guarding this sacred martyr cemetery.
Just at this time, there is a lot of blood on the steps.
Stepping on the steps and walking to the end, a square appears in front of everyone.
On the square, there is a huge white marble relief.
Nearly a hundred faces are carved on it.
Their faces are different and their expressions are also different.
“These are the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who sacrificed in the Battle of Beigu Pavilion back then.” Wei Lingxin introduced.
Actually, even if he didn’t say it, Ye Qiu could guess it.
Beside the relief, there is a stone tablet standing.
Above the stone tablet, a couplet is engraved.
“Green mountains and clear waters, always retain the heroic spirit in life; green pines and cypresses can comfort the souls of the dead after death.”
There is also a line of small characters in the lower left corner of the stone tablet.
“On the 27th day of the seventh lunar month, Xiao Jiu wept and erected it！”
Wei Lingxin explained： “After the Marquis was conferred the title of Champion Marquis and took command of the Northern Border back then, he buried his brothers of that year here. This stone tablet was erected by the Marquis himself.”
“There are nearly a hundred tombstones at the back, and they were all erected by the Marquis.”
After hearing this, Ye Qiu came to the back of the square, and suddenly, anger appeared in his eyes.
Nearly half of the nearly a hundred tombstones were destroyed.
“Did these killers do this？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Yes.” Wei Lingxin said： “It was precisely because the killers damaged the tombstones that Marquis Xiao flew into a rage and turned back to fight with the killers.”
Ye Wudi said angrily, “No wonder Xiao Jiu was angry. If others touched my brother’s tombstone, I wouldn’t let them go either.”
Ye Qiu asked again： “Where are the corpses of those killers？”
The main reason he came here was to see the corpses of the killers.
“Over there, please follow me.” Wei Lingxin led Ye Qiu and the others to one side of the cemetery.
Several tents were erected here.
There were also soldiers guarding outside the tents.
“The corpses of the killers are all inside.” Wei Lingxin took the lead in walking into the tent.
The others followed closely behind.
As soon as Ye Qiu walked into the tent, he was shocked. At least sixty or seventy corpses were left here.
Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi exchanged a glance, and the two began to check these corpses.
Five minutes later.
The two stopped.
“These people were almost all killed with one blow.” Ye Wudi said.
Ye Qiu worried： “Just now when I was checking, I found that among these killers, some people had calluses on their hands. At a glance, they were all experts in playing with guns. Among them, the weakest in skill was also comparable to a special forces king.”
“As Deputy Wei said, there are quite a few people whose strength is comparable to that of the experts on the Dragon Ranking.”
“Xiao Jiu encountered the interception and killing of so many experts. Even if he is the number one expert on the Dragon Ranking, he may not be able to hold on.”
Ye Wudi said in a deep voice, “So, the most urgent thing now is to find Xiao Jiu.”
Ye Qiu nodded and said to Wei Lingxin, “Take us to the border.”
”Okay.”
A few people left the cemetery, drove ten miles, and came to the border.
”Here we are.” Wei Lingxin stopped the car and said.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw that in front of him was an endless stretch of snow-capped mountains, towering majestically.
”Two, I can only send you here.” Wei Lingxin said.
”You guys go back. Leave the rest to us.” Ye Qiu said and got out of the car with Ye Wudi.
Wei Lingxin and Tang Fei followed suit.
”Two, the front is the border line. There are troops stationed by neighboring countries. You have to be careful.” Wei Lingxin reminded.
”Got it.” Ye Qiu replied and turned to prepare to move forward.
”Two——”
Wei Lingxin called Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi again, and then bowed deeply to the two and said, “I leave the Marquis to you.”
”Don’t worry, we will go all out.” Ye Qiu replied.
At this time, Tang Fei pulled Ye Qiu aside and said in a low voice, “The Military God has confessed a few words and asked me to convey them to you.”
”The Military God said that those people who dare to intercept and kill Xiao Jiu must be well prepared. You must be extremely careful on this trip.”
”The Military God also specifically asked me to tell you that when rescuing Xiao Jiu, do your best.”
“If necessary, you can give up Xiao Jiu and save your own life.”
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “I see. By the way, Lao Tang, what’s wrong with the Military God’s body？”
Tang Fei said, “I don’t know very well. Anyway, in recent days, the Military God has often coughed up blood. Several times I urged him to go to the hospital for an examination, but he just refused to go.”
Ye Qiu said, “Take good care of the Military God. I will treat him when I come back.”
“Okay. Be careful all the way.”
“Hmm.”
Ye Qiu responded with a hmm, and then walked forward with big steps together with Ye Wudi. Soon, the figures of the two disappeared into the wind and snow.
