~7 min read 1,327 words

Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists: "I hate these people the most!"

When he saw the Jingkang Incident and the emperor being captured, Zhu Zhanji exclaimed: "The emperor was captured?"

Zhu Di's face was livid: "Great humiliation."

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Father, the emperor of this Song Dynasty is too cowardly."

Zhu Di nodded: "So our Great Ming must not be like this. Anyone who dares to surrender, I will behead them first!"

When he saw Li Gang dying of illness in exile, Zhu Di was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"If this person were in my Great Ming, I would definitely let him live out his years."

Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice: "Grandfather, do you think... this Li Gang can make the list, is he particularly powerful?"

Zhu Di smiled: "Those who can make the list are naturally powerful."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up: "Then I will also make the list in the future!"

Zhu Di laughed: "Good! Have ambition!"

……

Song Dynasty, late Northern Song, at Li Gang's mansion.

Li Gang was sitting in the study reading.

He was over forty, with graying temples, and his health was getting worse.

These years he had been demoted here and there, exhausted, and often felt he wouldn't live long.

He saw everything that happened on the sky screen.

When he saw his name appear on the list, he was stunned.

When he saw his life being told one by one, his eyes turned red.

When he saw the words "Li Gang ranks eighth on the Huaxia Hero List, well-deserved," he burst into tears.

"I, Li Gang... what virtue and ability..."

Then, the sky screen burst into golden light.

【Video producer Mr. Gu rewards the 8th place on the Huaxia Hero List, Li Gang—】

【Twenty years of lifespan!】

A beam of golden light flew out of the sky screen and disappeared into the distance.

All dynasties were in dead silence.

Then—

The discussion in the court exploded.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the sky screen:

"Lifespan? Rewarding lifespan?"

Li Si was also stunned: "Your Majesty, this... this immortal, can add lifespan to people?"

Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Jian, and others looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and muttered: "Twenty years... just like that, twenty years..."

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

If he could make the list, if he could also get a lifespan reward...

Then, wouldn't he not have to die?

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che stood up abruptly: "Wei Qing! Did you hear that?"

Wei Qing nodded, his voice also trembling:

"Your Majesty, I heard it. Twenty years of lifespan."

Huo Qubing widened his eyes: "This... this is too..."

Liu Che clenched his fists: "I want to make the list. I must make the list."

Wei Zifu said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Liu Che turned to look at her, his eyes burning: "You don't understand. I am already old. I don't want to die. I still have many things to do."

If making the list could add lifespan, he was willing to do anything.

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin stood up slowly, looking at the sky screen, his eyes deep.

Fang Xuanling said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin waved his hand without speaking.

But his hands were trembling slightly.

Twenty years of lifespan.

This was more tempting than any reward.

Li Jing sighed: "No wonder he is called an immortal. Being able to add to a person's lifespan, if this isn't an immortal, what is?"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head: "Goodness, twenty years... if I could be added twenty years, I would be willing to live twenty years less..."

Yuchi Gong glared at him: "What you said, living twenty years less and then adding twenty years, doesn't that equal not adding?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "Oh, right..."

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly, his eyes wide:

"Lifespan? Adding lifespan?"

Empress Ma was also shocked: "Your Majesty, this immortal... can add lifespan to people?"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath,

"Twenty years... just like that, twenty years."

Xu Da muttered: "If this could be added to Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at him, his eyes burning: "Xu Da, what did you say?"

Xu Da hurriedly said: "I mean, if Your Majesty could make the list and get the lifespan reward, then..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed,

"Right! If I could make the list, I would live twenty more years! No, live a hundred more years!"

Lan Yu whispered: "Then I also want to make the list..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, and Lan Yu immediately shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Ming Dynasty, Yongle plane.

Zhu Di stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the sky screen.

"Twenty years of lifespan."

Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "Father, this immortal..."

Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt him: "I know."

Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly: "Father, if you could make the list, you could live twenty more years!" ===== CHAPTER 12 =====

Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Jian, and the others looked at each other, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and muttered, "Twenty years... just like that, twenty years..."

His heartbeat suddenly quickened.

If he could make the list, if he could also receive a lifespan reward...

Then, would he not have to die?

The Han Dynasty.

Liu Che stood up abruptly: "Wei Qing! Did you hear that?"

Wei Qing nodded, his voice also trembling slightly:

"Your Majesty, I heard it. Twenty years of lifespan."

Huo Qubing widened his eyes: "This... this is just too..."

Liu Che clenched his fists: "I must make the list. I must make the list."

Wei Zifu said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Liu Che turned to look at her, his eyes burning with intensity: "You don't understand. I am already old. I don't want to die. I still have many things to do."

If making the list could add to his lifespan, then he was willing to do anything.

The Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan era.

Li Shimin slowly stood up and gazed at the sky screen, his eyes deep and profound.

Fang Xuanling said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin waved his hand, not speaking.

But his hands were trembling slightly.

Twenty years of lifespan.

This was more tempting than any reward.

Li Jing sighed: "No wonder they are called immortals. Being able to add to a person's lifespan—if this isn't an immortal, what is?"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head: "Good heavens, twenty years... if they could give me twenty years, I'd be willing to live twenty years less..."

Yuchi Gong glared at him: "Listen to yourself, living twenty years less and then adding twenty years—doesn't that equal no addition at all?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "Oh, right..."

The Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly, his eyes wide:

"Lifespan? Adding lifespan?"

Empress Ma was also shocked: "Your Majesty, this immortal... can add to a person's lifespan?"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath,

"Twenty years... just like that, twenty years."

Xu Da muttered: "If this could be added to His Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at him, his eyes burning: "Xu Da, what did you say?"

Xu Da hurriedly said: "I meant, if Your Majesty could make the list and receive the lifespan reward, then..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily,

"Right! If I can make the list, I'll live twenty more years! No, a hundred more years!"

Lan Yu whispered: "Then I want to make the list too..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, and Lan Yu immediately shrank his neck and stopped talking.

The Ming Dynasty, Yongle plane.

Zhu Di stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the sky screen.

"Twenty years of lifespan."

Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "Father, this immortal..."

Zhu Di waved his hand, interrupting him: "I know."

Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly: "Father, if you can make the list, you can live twenty more years!"
