Chapter 47
Han Dynasty.
Liu Che listened to "Man Jiang Hong" and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he slowly said: "Yue Fei, I have remembered you."
He looked at Huo Qubing: "Qubing, you are third, he is first, are you convinced?"
Huo Qubing cupped his hands: "Your subject is convinced. Your subject fought the Xiongnu, he fought enemies who destroyed his country. Your subject is a military general, he is a hero. Your subject is convinced."
Liu Che laughed: "Good, worthy of being my Champion Marquis."
Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin listened to "Man Jiang Hong," a complex look flashing in his eyes.
"Yue Fei... what a pity," he said in a low voice.
Fang Xuanling beside him said softly,
"Your Majesty, although he died, his spirit does not die."
Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, the spirit does not die. That is enough."
Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to "Man Jiang Hong," and tears flowed down again.
"Good, good. Well-deserved, well-deserved," he said loudly.
【The counting of the Huaxia Hero List is complete.】
【List producer Mr. Gu is rewarded with 200 years of lifespan, one million jin of rice, 10,000 warhorses, 10,000 sets of fine iron armor and weapons, and one physical quality enhancement.】
On the sky screen, the last line of golden characters slowly appeared.
Then, the golden light dissipated, and the sky screen disappeared.
All dynasties and generations fell into an unprecedented uproar.
Southern Song.
Yue Fei was standing on the streets of Lin'an, surrounded by the common people.
Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky.
He felt a warm current surge into his body, and the wounds on his body healed instantly.
Not only that, his strength seemed to have increased significantly.
He looked down at his hands, unable to believe it.
Those hands could now easily pull a 500-jin hard bow.
"This... is this physical quality enhancement?" he muttered.
The people beside him exclaimed.
"Marshal Yue! You are glowing!"
"Marshal Yue! Your wounds are healed!"
"Marshal Yue! You look younger!"
Yue Fei looked up at the sky and knelt down.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" he said loudly.
Then, he stood up and looked north.
There was the direction of the Jin Kingdom.
There was his unfinished dream.
"Strike at the enemy's heart, return my mountains and rivers," he said in a low voice.
Now, he had 200 years of lifespan, one million jin of rice as provisions, 10,000 warhorses, and 10,000 sets of iron armor and weapons.
He also had a stronger body and could do more things.
Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this reward, and his eyes turned red.
"200 years of lifespan! One million jin of rice! 10,000 warhorses! 10,000 sets of iron armor! And physical quality enhancement!"
He said excitedly: "This... this is supporting Yue Wumu's northern expedition!"
Liu Bowen beside him nodded,
"Your Majesty is right. These rewards are enough for Yue Wumu to reorganize an army and strike at the enemy's heart."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Unfortunately, I am not Yue Wumu. If I were on the list, I would want these too."
Empress Ma laughed: "Chongba, if you are on the list, you will have them too."
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "That's true!"
Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng saw this reward, and his eyes also lit up.
"200 years of lifespan... physical quality enhancement..." he muttered.
He wanted these things too.
He looked at the sky, anticipation flashing in his eyes.
【The counting of the Top Ten Heroes of Huaxia is now complete. In three days, the Top Ten Emperors Through the Ages will be counted.】
On the sky screen, this last line of text slowly appeared, then disappeared.
All dynasties and generations were in a frenzy.
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
Han Gaozu Liu Bang.
Han Wudi Liu Che.
Han Guangwudi Liu Xiu.
Sui Wendi Yang Jian.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
Qing Shengzu Kangxi.
These emperors were all thinking about the same question:
Can I make the list?
To be called an emperor through the ages by later generations, what an honor that would be!
Not to mention, there are rewards!
Lifespan, favorable weather, provisions, troops and horses...
Any one of them is tempting.
Three Kingdoms plane.
Liu Bei watched the direction where the sky screen disappeared and sighed: "I'm afraid I won't make the list."
Zhuge Liang beside him said softly: "My Lord, do not belittle yourself."
Liu Bei shook his head: "Kongming, you don't need to comfort me. I know, I'm just a straw sandal seller; being able to divide the world into three is already the blessing of my ancestors. An emperor through the ages is not my turn."
He looked in the direction of Cao Cao,
"Cao Mengde, he might make the list. He unified the north, he is a figure."
Cao Cao was watching the sky screen.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, he laughed.
"Xuande, oh Xuande, you are quite open-minded."
He looked at the sky, ambition flashing in his eyes.
"An emperor through the ages... I want that too."
But he knew that in this life, he could only be the King of Wei, not an emperor.
Jin Dynasty.
Sima Yan was watching the sky screen.
"An emperor through the ages... I count, right? I unified the Three Kingdoms," he muttered to himself.
The official beside him said quickly: "Your Majesty certainly counts."
Sima Yan smiled with satisfaction.
What he didn't know was that the evaluation of him by later generations was not high.
Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The emperors of those short-lived dynasties were also watching the sky screen.
But they knew they definitely wouldn't make the list.
Those who could make the list were all heroic masters who unified the world.
They were not qualified.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The emperors who held sway over one region were also watching the sky screen.
They also knew they wouldn't make the list.
But they were still looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing those true emperors through the ages.
Modern times.
Villa No. 1, Seaside Mansion.
Gu Shanhe was taking a shower.
The system had just rewarded him with master-level national martial arts and ten times physical enhancement, and many impurities had been expelled from his body; he smelled terrible.
After showering, he stood in front of the mirror.
The person in the mirror looked like a different person.
His skin was better, his figure was better, and he even had eight-pack abs.
He moved his hands and feet, feeling his whole body filled with power.
"Is this ten times physical enhancement?" he muttered.
Those moves were like they were carved into his brain, easy to use.
Every move was like flowing water.
"Master-level national martial arts... truly formidable," he laughed.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded.
【Ding! Detected that the host's emotional value has exceeded 5 million, the system is upgrading, expected to be completed in 24 hours.】
Gu Shanhe was stunned for a moment.
"System upgrade? It has this function too?"
He didn't know what changes would occur after the system upgrade, but it shouldn't be a bad thing.
He checked the time; it was already afternoon.
Tomorrow morning, he planned to return to his hometown, Qinghe Village.
He opened the wardrobe and started packing his luggage.
Actually, there wasn't much to pack, just a few changes of clothes and some personal items.
And those three sets of gold jewelry, and that Patek Philippe watch.
These were gifts for his parents.
Tomorrow, he was going back to his hometown.
Qinghe Village, that small village that gave birth to him and raised him.
When he was in college, the people in the village pooled their money to pay his tuition.
He still remembered the village chief stuffing a wad of crumpled money into his hand and saying: "Child, study hard and win glory for our village."
He also remembered Aunt Wang next door cooking him a bowl of noodles and saying:
"Child, eat on the road, don't go hungry."
He also remembered that many fellow villagers had helped him.
Now, he had money.
It was time for him to go back and repay them.
As for what to repay them with, he hadn't decided yet.
Build a road? Build a school? Build a nursing home?
Anything is fine.
Anyway, he had plenty of money now.
Gu Shanhe smiled, turned off the light, and lay on the bed.
Tomorrow would be a new day.
And in the heavens and worlds, countless people were looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the counting of the emperors through the ages in three days; would they make the list?
