Chapter 621: Fire plan (1/2)
Achilles listened and did not quit, ordering the soldiers to remove a gift as a ransom in the King Priamos.
Most of the gifts are gold and bronze, as well as a few spices and rare treasures.
All the gifts were moved down and placed on the Achilles warship, leaving only a cape and a tights, which were used to cover Hector's body.
Only Primus was able to see his son. Hector had scratches on his ears and stroked the wound gently. Priamos could imagine how the body was treated after Hector's death. Tears crisscross.
Achilles called his friend's name: ”Patroclus, if you heard in the Underworld that I returned Hector's body to his father, please don't be mad at me! He brought ransom. It's very generous, and it's yours too. ”
”And Zeus gave me an order not to abuse Hector's body, and he was not allowed to keep him. I am now following the will of the gods and returning his body to him. father.”
Achilles called to Patroclus, hoping that he could return Hector's body to Priamos's understanding.
Hermes () stood in private behind Priamos, watching him crying, and said secretly: ”You old king, you have redeemed your son with heavy gold. But when Agamemnon and others The Greek prince and hero knew this and would detain you and demand three times the ransom from your son at home! ”
Priamos heard a startle in his heart, hurriedly called his followers, put on Hector's tights, put on a cloak, and drove out of the Greek camp with his body.
And Hermes, like when he came, dropped the mist and made the Greeks invisible. Soon, he was far away from the Greek camp.
Priamos and his chariots drove towards Troy, chasing slowly along the way, and at dawn, they hurried outside Troy.
At dawn, everything was asleep, and only Kassandra, the daughter of Priamos, looked over the tower.
She couldn't help crying when she saw her father sitting on the chariot from a distance, and seeing the body of Hector on the chariot.
Hector was her eldest brother, and he took extra care of these younger brothers and sisters, and now seeing him lying on the chariot as if asleep on the body, Kassandra was as keen as a knife.
Pei Ziyun waited for a long time on the city wall. When he saw the car coming back, he ordered the soldiers to open the gate.
The chariot slowly came in at the gate. When Pei Ziyun waved his hand, some soldiers protected the chariot and drove the chariot at the same time to guide the chariot in which Priamos was riding towards the palace.
As soon as the team arrived at the gate of the palace, Andromema waited for a long time to welcome her. When she saw the body of her husband lying on the chariot, she supported Hector's head and cried to death.
Everyone heard the tears of Andromah's heartbreaking tears, and they could not help crying, and the king Priamos also cried.
Pei Ziyun was silent. Although he would not cry, he was infected by the atmosphere at the moment, and there was a trace of sadness in his heart.
”Dear husband, you have made me a poor widow, leaving me alone with my poor child.”
”Well, your son may not be able to raise an adult. Introy will soon be destroyed. You will no longer be able to protect the city and the men, women and children of the city.”
”Soon, we will be captured and put on Greek warships, and I will not be spared.”
Andromah cried in tears towards her son Astyanax and said, ”And you, my poor son Astyanax, will also serve a cruel master and share your mother. Shame. ”
”Or you will be pushed and killed by a Greek from the tower, because your father has killed his brother, or his father, or his son!”
Pei Ziyun listened to Andama Locke's words, knowing that what she said was destiny, and sighed now: ”Andromema, rest assured, I will protect you and your son.”
”My husband, Hector, you see, in the end, Paris, who has always been hostile, protects me and your son, but Troy is about to be destroyed, and Paris is unable to protect us.”
”Because your own destiny is uncontrollable, how can you protect us?” Andromah whispered, crying, and seemed to lose all hope.
Pei Ziyun shook her head slightly, knowing that no matter what she said, Andromah would not believe that she could protect them, and that she would not believe Troy if she was to be protected from destruction.
Pei Ziyun didn't intend to persuade. Everything was based on facts. He turned to face and was tired, and gray-haired Priamos said, ”Father, you haven't slept all night. Go back to rest. The next thing is give it to me.”
Said, Pei Ziyun called a herald: ”Go and ask someone to prepare firewood, find a craftsman to build a wooden bed, and set up a crematorium in the open area of the palace garden as quickly as possible.”
”Okay, Prince Paris.” The herald immediately ordered and bowed.
Pei Ziyun ordered people to move Hector's body into a room and wipe the body himself. The wounds and gaps dragged on his body were also stitched with needle and thread.
After washing and cleaning, Pei Ziyun carefully applied the balm on his body and put on extravagant clothing. Everything was taken care of properly. Hector's body was renewed and no longer embarrassed. At this time it seemed to be lying asleep. On the bed.
