Chapter 1785: Blackmail Qin Shihuang(1/2)
Riley has lived for more than two thousand years. As an emperor, he was so stoic that he bounced up from the ground and spun wildly.
"If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability."
Brush ~!
A strong wind blew around him, and sand and gravel were flying around him. Riley's figure disappeared, and a black tornado was blowing towards Jiang Hao and the other two.
"Sky Sword!"
Jiang Hao released the Chunjun sword and held it in his hand. The sword body suddenly turned into a 40-meter-long sword. Jiang Hao waved it hard towards the tornado.
"Bang~!"
The sky sword slashed down, and the tornado was immediately divided into two.
"Ah~!"
A scream came from the center of the black gas, Riley was slapped away hard, and she lay on the ground and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. This time she was even worse than the last time.
He looked at Jiang Hao in shock, and finally realized that the person in front of him was too strong and he could not compete with him.
Seeing that Riley was injured, Shiya hurried over and hugged Riley's body, "Raily, how are you? Don't die."
At this moment, this woman felt very regretful, and she didn't expect that she would attract a group of evil stars.
Jiang Hao looked at Riley and Shiya who were hugging each other and said, "There is one sentence that best describes your current state, and you are impatient in your life."
"But when life encounters threats, you will unconsciously cherish life. In fact, you are not impatient in life, but just because you are not afraid of losing, so you no longer cherish it."
"What is the meaning of living? This is probably the topic that humans discuss the most. The third question of the soul is based on this. I believe you cannot have not seen it. For you, it is not meaningless, it is just not cherishing it."
"My sword can't kill you. Didn't Ms. Shiya just invited us to visit the castle for tea? Why don't you continue now?" Jiang Hao said.
Riley quickly calmed down and asked Shiya to support him, saying with difficulty: "Please come in."
Everyone walked into the castle together. The decoration inside the castle was very luxurious and reflected the European aristocratic style everywhere, but it always gave people a slightly depressing feeling.
Everyone sat in the living room, Jiang Hao and Riley were sitting opposite each other, and Shiya sat next to Riley and hugged his arm.
A servant brought tea and snacks, and Bai Susu found that the servants here were also zombies.
"I haven't asked you who you are yet, what's the purpose of coming here?" Riley had already calmed down and asked at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao smiled, "To be honest, we really just wanted to see around us. Ms. Shiya invited us and we came over to see a person who was once familiar but now very strange."
After hearing this, Shiya regretted even more. She originally thought that the other party was prey, but she didn't expect that she was a powerful hunter.
Riley frowned slightly, "Once familiar?"
"There is a man who once dominated the world and swept across Liuhe, but in the end he was obsessed with immortality and sent someone to go out to seek immortal pills. But what he did not expect was that what his ministers brought back was not an immortal pill, but a curse and an immortal curse." Jiang Hao said softly.
Riley's eyes changed repeatedly, surprised, stunned, shocked.
"You seem to know who I am?"
"I know, if you were that person." Jiang Hao said.
Riley was silent for a while and said quietly, "That man was already dead after he escaped from China. He chose not to die back then, but he turned into a monster. The dynasty's fortunes dissipated, the ministers betrayed, and the monks chased him. He had to escape to the wilderness outside the territory."
"Since then, that person has died, only Riley is now living a life that never stops."
Jiang Hao looked at this guy and asked, "Then have you lived enough now? Do you need me to help you solve this trouble?"
"What do you want?!" Riley asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Hao smiled, "Do you know the origin of the zombies?"
Riley shook her head, "Since I left, I have no contact with others, and the other situation is not very clear."
"Actually, your problem is not without a solution. If you want to remove the zombie state, the easiest way is to kill your previous generation." Jiang Hao said.
Riley and Shiya were both stunned.
"Cancel the previous generation to get rid of the state?" the two asked together.
"Yes, it's that simple. Zombies are passed on with their bloodlines. Once the bloodlines are broken, their descendants will return to normal humans, eat and drink food, give birth to children, live, grow old, sick and die." Jiang Hao said.
Riley looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Who are you?"
"Haha, my name is Jiang Hao, a Taoist priest from Maoshan, and his Taoist name is Dingyang. He specializes in catching ghosts and zombies, so he knows this very well." Jiang Hao said.
"By the way, how about we make a deal?" Jiang Hao suddenly said.
"Trade, what kind of transaction?" Riley was very surprised.
"I will help you eliminate the zombies that bit you. Then you, Shiya, and everyone here can eliminate the zombie state, and life will not become meaningless. When you know that life is about to come to an end, you will naturally become cherished." Jiang Hao said.
To be honest, Riley and Shiya are very moved, but they are also very conflicted.
They are tired of their current life, very, very tired, but when they know that life is beginning to enter the countdown, they also have a strong desire for life.
Riley thought for a while and asked, "What do you want?"
"Since it's a business, you naturally need money, cash, stocks, securities, and company shares." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"What if I don't agree?" Riley said.
"Catching ghosts and zombies is the duty of Taoists." Jiang Hao immediately said righteously.
Riley and Shiya, and even Bai Susu and Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, because Jiang Hao and the changes just now were very big, which made people feel a little off guard and their thoughts couldn't keep up.
Although it is a transaction, it is more like blackmail.
Riley was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, maybe there are days I'll live more fulfilling, I agree."
"That Taoist Master Dingyang, how much reward are you going to ask?" Riley looked at Jiang Hao and asked.
"How much are you going to pay?"
Riley sighed softly, "Actually, I don't have much property, I'm not keen on making money. Since you know my identity, you naturally know that I was rich in the world and had already passed the period of being fascinated by money."
Jiang Hao smiled lightly and said calmly: "Mencius, money is external things, and I don't want much. No matter how much you have, I just want half of it."
Everyone's chin almost fell, and it was not much more than half. Even Riley, who was indifferent to money, was still very worried by Jiang Hao's words.
"Let me do not have much cash. You are from Hong Kong. I will give you all my assets in Hong Kong. How can you see?" Riley said.
"Oh, what are the industries in Hong Kong?" Jiang Hao asked.
"The equity of several companies, and there are several small companies, Standard Chartered Bank 16.8%, Hong Kong China Gas Company 11.5%, Hong Kong Electric Light Company 12.3%, and Carnival Investment Company, which holds 69.8%. In addition, there are several companies that have not been established for a long time, including communications, Internet and other companies, which are basically wholly owned. I am not very clear about the details, and there are special managers responsible for it." Riley said.
Damn, is this what you think of money indifferent? This is just a Hong Kong industry. I guess there will be more assets in other places, especially the UK.
Not to mention anything else, Standard Chartered Bank is a veteran British bank. Its development in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries is second only to HSBC, with total assets of about US$300 billion.
What does Standard Chartered Bank have a 16.8% stake? What does it mean? It is the first few shareholders, not to mention how much they are worth. After owning this part of the shares, that person's status will become a member of the upper-level circle in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong China Gas Company and Hong Kong Electric Light Company control the supply of gas and electricity in Hong Kong's livelihood industry, each of which is hundreds or hundreds of billions of dollars.
Just how much is the shares of these three companies worth, what investment companies and Internet companies are there, which are just their industries in Hong Kong.
He also said that he was not interested in money.
Perhaps, after all, I have lived for two thousand years, and it is not difficult to make any moves, stabilize investment in people's livelihood industries, and make money from these assets.
Jiang Hao is not greedy either. As the saying goes, contentment is always happy?
"Okay, let's just companies like Hong Kong." Jiang Hao said.
In fact, what Jiang Hao has paid is just a promise for the time being, to help Riley and Shiya eliminate Xu Fu. As long as they kill Xu Fu, they can become normal people and enjoy the birth, old age, sickness, death, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of normal people.
Of course, defeating Riley by force is also an indispensable factor.
Therefore, even if this transaction is regarded as blackmail, everyone present will not object, including Jiang Hao himself.
After the matter was settled, the atmosphere of tension just now became eased. Riley said: "I'm calling my lawyer to come over now, complete the share handover procedures, and return to notify the person in charge in Hong Kong that you can accept it at any time."
"Then I'm not polite." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"Are you interested in taking a walk and chatting together?" Riley invited.
"certainly."
The three women gathered together and came upstairs to visit Shiya's jewelry collection.
Jiang Hao and Riley walked out of the castle and soon came to a cliff. There were rolling mountains in the distance, and the sea could be seen further away.
Riley said, "I'm still curious, why do you know me so well, who are you?"
"I once had an intersection with a man named Qin Shihuang, but it was in another time and space. We got along well. I taught him to cultivate immortality and left a relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have told you too much." Jiang Hao said.
Riley was surprised to hear that in another time and space, he taught Qin Shihuang to cultivate immortality, and the person in front of him really couldn't see through it.
"Have Qin Shihuang succeeded in cultivating immortals?" Riley asked.
"It was successful. At least when I left, he had already achieved some success. The Qin Empire was booming. In the end, his crown prince Fusu succeeded to the throne. The Qin Dynasty died without a second generation and continued." Jiang Hao said.
After hearing what Jiang Hao said, for some reason, Riley felt much more comfortable. Because of his decision, the empire collapsed. He actually regretted that decision at that time.
"Just hope is true!" Riley sighed.
"It's true, it's just in another time and space." Jiang Hao said.
"Another time and space are good."
