After hearing Ye Qiu's words, everyone's eyes fell on the box in Ye Qiu's hand.
Take a closer look.
Inside the box is a purple and gold medal.
Nine lifelike flying dragons are engraved on the front edge of the medal, and the words "Protect the Country" are engraved in the middle.
Hiss, it’s really a medal for protecting the country!
Xiao Jiu's face was full of envy.
As a champion, Xiao Jiu is very aware of the extraordinary nature of this medal, because it also has another name, called the death-free gold medal.
As long as you get this medal, you can avoid death even if you commit a serious crime of treason.
The Medal of Defense of the Nation is China's highest honorary medal. Only heroes who have made significant contributions during times of national and national crisis can receive this honor.
Generally, there is a corresponding reward system for meritorious service, such as awarding medals of different levels, but the National Defense Medal will never be awarded.
Ye Qiu was ordered to go to the northern border to rescue Xiao Jiu when he was in danger, so that there would be no unrest in the northern border. This has the same meaning as saving the country and the people.
Otherwise, once Xiao Jiu dies, there will definitely be war in the northern border. With the war, the people will not be able to survive.
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Tang gave Ye Qiu the Medal of Protection of the Country.
Ye Wudi clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely excited.
He knew that in the past hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, only a few people had received this medal, and those seniors had all passed away long ago.
In the past thirty years, the country has never awarded the National Defense Medal. In other words, Ye Qiu is the first person to receive this honor in thirty years!
This is a great thing to honor our ancestors.
Ye Qiu receiving this medal is not only Ye Qiu's personal honor, but also the pride of the Ye family.
"Brother, if you were still alive, you would be very proud to see your son so promising!" Ye Wudi said in his heart.
Tang Fei's eyes turned red with envy.
Ye Qiu himself was a little surprised.
To be honest, receiving the Medal of Protection of the Country was completely beyond his expectation.
Moreover, he believed that his contribution was not proportional to the weight of this medal.
"Could it be that the God of War contributed?"
Ye Qiu secretly guessed.
When Mr. Tang saw Ye Qiu looking at the Medal of Protection of the Country without saying anything, he asked, "Why, you don't like this reward?"
Ye Qiu said: "Chief, I think this medal is too heavy..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Tang said: "Since you don't like it, then give me the medal back."
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu immediately hugged the wooden box in his arms and said: "Chief, what you send out is just water thrown out. There is no reason to take it back."
"Besides, this is the reward you gave me. If I return it to you, wouldn't I be living up to your kindness?"
Ye Qiu was afraid that Mr. Tang would change his mind, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Chief! I will accept this reward!"
Mr. Tang said sternly: "Ye Qiu, you have a long and long way to go. I hope you will continue to work hard and not let down my expectations for you."
Ye Qiu said loudly: "Chief, please rest assured that I will continue to work hard and strive to make greater contributions to the country."
"Um."
Mr. Tang nodded and continued: "The awarding ceremony of the Medal of Protection of the Country is a bit troublesome. All generals in the army need to be present, so I canceled the awarding ceremony. You can keep the medal yourself!"
"Ye Qiu, you are still young, don't be proud and complacent, let alone arrogant!"
"You must remember that humility makes people progress, and pride leads to destruction!"
Ye Qiu knew that Mr. Tang was telling him not to be arrogant and look down on everyone just because he had received the Medal of Protection of the Country, but to keep a low profile.
"I understand what the chief means. Don't worry, I know what to do." Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.
Mr. Tang said to Ye Wudi again: "Wudi, you also had a share in rescuing Xiao Jiu this time, but I only rewarded Ye Qiu and not you. You won't blame me, right?"
Ye Wudi said quickly: "I don't blame the leader. Ye Qiu did the most to rescue Xiao Jiu this time."
"That's good if you think so." Tang Lao said: "Although the medal was given to Ye Qiu, invincible you have to understand that this is not Ye Qiu's honor alone, but also your honor."
Ye Wudi raised his head and saw Mr. Tang looking at him deeply, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Could it be that Mr. Tang knew Ye Qiu’s identity?
Ye Wudi didn't dare to ask. In this situation, he couldn't ask either. He just said respectfully: "Thank you, chief."
Mr. Tang laughed: "Okay, we've finished talking about the business..."
"Wait a minute!" Master Changmei suddenly said.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the face of the real person with long eyebrows.
"Master, you seem to have something to say?" Mr. Tang asked.
Master Changmei said: "Mr. Tang, you won't be angry if I tell you, right?"
Mr. Tang smiled and said: "Master, in your mind, do I like to be an angry person?"
The Changmei Master shook his head violently: "No, no..."
"Whatever the real person wants to say, it doesn't matter. I won't blame you." Mr. Tang said with a smile.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Master Changmei's face, and he said: "Mr. Tang, I did a little bit in rescuing Xiao Jiu this time. Do you want to give me a reward as well?"
"Oh?" Mr. Tang had doubts in his eyes and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what's going on?"
Xiao Jiu then told everything about how Chang Mei Master pretended to be Ye Wushuang and used the sword character to scare off the dragon girl.
Of course, there was no mention of the fact that they knelt down and beat the Long-Eyebrow Master.
I really can’t say it, it’s so embarrassing!
After hearing this, Mr. Tang asked: "Master, what reward do you want?"
Master Changmei chuckled and said, "I don't have any special hobbies, I just like money. Mr. Tang, how about you give me some bonus?"
"How much do you want?"
"It doesn't take much, just 100 million."
One hundred million?
The smile on Mr. Tang's face froze.
"Old guy, don't push yourself too far." Ye Qiu glared at the long-browed master.
"Ye Qiu, don't scold the real person. The real person did a lot to rescue Xiao Jiu and deserves a reward." Mr. Tang said with a smile: "The real person, I agreed to the reward you want. You can ask Xiao Jiu for the money."
Looking for Xiao Jiu?
I pretended to be Ye Wushuang and scolded Xiao Jiu. How could this guy give me money?
If I still dare to ask him for money, it would be strange if he doesn't beat me to death.
Master Changmei said hurriedly: "Mr. Tang..."
Mr. Tang didn't give Master Changmei a chance to continue speaking, and said: "This matter has been decided happily. Xiao Jiu, please accompany me to the military camp."
After saying that, Mr. Tang took Xiao Jiu away.
The real person with long eyebrows instantly looked depressed.
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Old man, who told you to open your mouth like a lion? It's better now. You won't get a penny."
"Is it fun to say sarcastic words?" Master Changmei glared at Ye Qiu displeasedly.
Ye Qiu said: "You want money, don't you? Let me give you an idea. This medal is made of gold and should be worth a lot of money. You can sell it!"
Master Longmei immediately beamed, rubbed his hands and asked: "Little bastard, are you really willing to sell me the National Defense Medal?"
"Of course I'm willing to give it up, take it!" Ye Qiu handed over the box containing the medal.
Just as Master Changmei was about to reach out to pick it up, he heard Ye Wudi say: "If you dare to sell the Medal of Protection of the Country, you will be charged with treason and shot!"
Damn it, I was almost tricked by Ye Qiu.
Master Longmei quickly retracted his hand, and his old face instantly became listless, like a chrysanthemum beaten by the wind and snow.
