~8 min read 1,566 words

He closed the comment section and opened the backend data.

Views: over five million.

Likes: over eight hundred thousand.

Comments: over one hundred thousand.

Shares: over two hundred thousand.

These figures were even better than the last review of Wei Qing.

"It seems adding voiceover commentary was the right choice."

Gu Shanhe thought to himself.

He decided to continue this way in the future, providing his own voiceover to make the videos more engaging.

Gu Shanhe walked to the window and looked at the night view outside.

On the sea, several yachts sailed slowly by, brightly lit.

In the distance, the skyline of Jiangcheng was ablaze with lights, with high-rise buildings standing in rows.

Gu Shanhe suddenly remembered a saying.

"Standing in the path of the wind, even a pig can fly."

But he knew that he had reached this point not because of the wind, but because of the system.

Without the system, he might still be in that twenty-square-meter rental room, unable to even pay the rent.

"System, thank you."

He said silently in his heart.

This time, the system responded.

【You're welcome, Host.】

【The system has seen your hard work.】

【Keep it up.】

Gu Shanhe smiled and closed the system interface.

He returned to the study, opened his computer, and began preparing the next video.

Who should he review next?

Wei Qing had already been reviewed, and Zheng Chenggong had also been reviewed.

What other heroes were there?

Yue Fei? Wen Tianxiang? Huo Qubing...

There were too many.

Gu Shanhe thought for a moment and decided to review Huo Qubing first.

"Sealing the Wolf Mountain, Champion Marquis, ennobled at nineteen, died of illness at twenty-three... The story of this hero should also be very exciting."

He began to organize the materials provided by the system and started editing and recording the voiceover.

Outside the window, the night grew deeper.

In the study, there was only the sound of keyboard tapping.

Gu Shanhe stared intently at the screen, his eyes full of anticipation.

He looked forward to the next video bringing him new surprises.

The night breeze at the Seaside Mansion was very gentle.

Gu Shanhe occasionally looked up at the sea view outside the window, then lowered his head to continue working.

A long time passed.

Gu Shanhe yawned and checked the time.

It was past midnight.

He saved the document, turned off the computer, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

In the huge bathtub, hot water soaked his whole body, feeling extremely comfortable.

Gu Shanhe closed his eyes, recalling everything that had happened today.

Publishing the video, gaining emotional value, getting the villa, moving, cooking...

This day had been so fulfilling.

With a smile on his lips, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Gu Shanhe woke up and stretched.

This sleep had been truly comfortable.

He got up, washed, and went downstairs to cook.

There were still plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator, so he made a simple breakfast: fried eggs, bacon, toast, and a glass of milk.

After breakfast, he went to the gym.

He ran for a while and then did a few sets of strength training.

Then he went to the swimming pool and swam a few laps.

This kind of life was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

But now, he was living it.

In the afternoon, Gu Shanhe continued to refine the video he hadn't finished the night before.

There was a lot of material on Huo Qubing, and he needed to carefully select the most representative stories.

What he wanted to do was not just a simple list of life events, but to dig into the details that could move people the most.

For example, Huo Qubing being ennobled at nineteen, the line he said, "How can I have a home when the Xiongnu are not yet destroyed?", and his heroic early death at twenty-three...

These details were what could touch people's hearts the most.

Halfway through writing, Manager Liu called.

"Mr. Gu, how are you feeling today? Is there anything you need?"

Gu Shanhe smiled and said, "Everything is great, I don't need anything, thank you, Manager Liu."

Manager Liu quickly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, just call me if you need anything."

After hanging up, Gu Shanhe continued editing and refining the video.

An hour later.

"The video is finally edited."

Gu Shanhe clicked the publish button.

【Published successfully!】

Modern era.

In the study of Villa No. 1 at the Seaside Mansion, Gu Shanhe stretched, looked at the "Published successfully" prompt on the screen, and let out a long breath.

"Huo Qubing... the story of this young war god should be able to move quite a few people."

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, his gaze falling on the sparkling sea outside the window.

This time, he had spent more time than before making this video.

Huo Qubing's life was too short, only twenty-four years, but the mark he left was too deep, deep enough to still be burning hot two thousand years later.

Gu Shanhe had put a lot of effort into telling the story of a young general who only lived for twenty-four years well.

Now, he just had to wait and see the effect.

Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was discussing the construction of the Great Wall in the north with Meng Tian.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with golden light.

"Your Majesty! The Sky Screen!"

Ying Zheng looked up, squinting his eyes at the familiar light screen.

"Is it that immortal named Gu Shanhe again?"

He said in a deep voice.

The official from the Sky Screen Department hurriedly stepped forward.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is! The Sky Screen has appeared again, and we are ready to record at any time!"

Ying Zheng nodded, his eyes fixed on the sky.

Last time, he learned about Zheng Chenggong, learned about Taiwan, and learned about the importance later generations placed on territory.

What was it this time?

Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was discussing military affairs with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

The moment the Sky Screen appeared, Liu Che's eyes lit up.

"It's here!"

He looked at Huo Qubing beside him, his eyes full of anticipation.

Huo Qubing was also a bit surprised.

Last time the Sky Screen reviewed Zheng Chenggong, he didn't have much of a reaction.

But this time... would it be him?

Liu Che seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled, "Qubing, I feel that this time it is very likely to be you."

Huo Qubing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is too kind, I am just doing my duty."

Liu Che laughed,

"You, you are just too humble."

Wei Qing beside him also smiled, his gaze towards his nephew full of gratification.

Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was discussing the affairs of the Protectorate General of the Western Regions with Zhangsun Wuji.

When the Sky Screen appeared, he immediately put down the memorial in his hand.

"Sky Screen Department, prepare to record."

He said in a deep voice.

Last time Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, it let him know the importance later generations placed on territory.

Who would it be this time?

Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, was discussing the reduction of the military power of the feudal lords with Zhao Pu.

The moment the Sky Screen appeared, he looked up, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The Sky Screen again."

When reviewing Li Gang, he learned about the fate of his Song Dynasty later on.

Ming Dynasty, Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture.

Emperor Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, was having a meal with Empress Ma.

When the Sky Screen appeared, he immediately put down his chopsticks.

"It's here, it's here!"

He looked at Empress Ma, his eyes full of anticipation,

"Meizi, do you think it will be someone from our Great Ming this time?"

Empress Ma smiled, "Chongba, do you want to be on the list that much?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared, "Of course! Being on the list has a longevity reward! I also want to live a few more years!"

Empress Ma shook her head and said nothing more.

【Today's review of the third place on the Huaxia Heroes List: Champion Marquis of the Han Dynasty — Huo Qubing.】

On the Sky Screen, a line of golden characters slowly emerged.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che stood up abruptly!

"Qubing! It's you!"

He looked at Huo Qubing beside him, his eyes full of surprise and pride.

Huo Qubing was also a bit stunned.

He didn't expect that he would really be on the list, and it was the third place!

Wei Qing smiled and patted him on the shoulder,

"Good lad, two places higher than me, the fifth place!"

Huo Qubing quickly said, "Uncle, you..."

Wei Qing waved his hand,

"This was judged by the Sky Screen, not by me. Being able to be on the list is your ability."

Wei Zifu beside him also smiled, her gaze towards her nephew full of maternal love.

Liu Che laughed loudly,

"Good! Good! My Champion Marquis, third place! Higher than Wei Qing!"

He looked at the Sky Screen, his eyes full of anticipation.

He wanted to know how later generations evaluated his Huo Qubing. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
