Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 621: Payment plan

Achilles heard this, but did not decline, and ordered the soldiers to move one by one in King Priam's car as a ransom gift.

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 cloak and a tights, which were used to cover Hector's body.

Priam was able to see his son. Hector's body was dragged and stroking the wound lightly. Priam could imagine how tortured Hector's body after his death. For a time, the old tears.

Achilles called his friend's name: "Patrolocros, if you hear in the underworld that I have returned Hector's body to his father, please don't be angry with me! He! The ransom is very generous, and this also has your share."

"And Zeus also gave me an order not to torture Hector's body, and not to keep his body detained, I now follow the will of the gods and return his body His father."

Achilles called to Patroclus, hoping that he could understand his move of returning Hector's body to Priam.

Hermes () stood invisible next to Priam, watching him weeping, and secretly said: "Old king, you redeemed your son with a lot of money. You can be Agamemnon. Knowing about this with other Greek princes and heroes, they will detain you and demand a triple ransom from your son who is at home!"

Priams was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly called his entourage, put Hector on tights and cloak together, and drove out quietly in the Greek camp with the corpse.

And Hermes, just like when he came, dropped the fog, making the Greeks invisible, and soon he was far away from the Greek camp.

Priams and his entourage drove the chariot towards Troy, hurriedly hurried along the way, and at dawn, they rushed to the outside of Troy.

At dawn, everything was asleep, only Kassandra, the daughter of Priam, was watching from the tower.

When she saw her father sitting on the chariot from a distance, and saw Hector's body on the chariot, she couldn't help crying.

Hector was her eldest brother, and took special care of these younger siblings, and now seeing him lying on the chariot as if sleeping like a corpse, Kassandra felt like a knife.

Pei Ziyun waited on the city wall very early, and when the car came back, he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

The chariot drove in slowly at the gate of the city. Pei Ziyun waved his hand. Soldiers protected the chariot while driving the chariot to guide Priams’ chariot to the palace.

The team had just arrived at the gate of the palace, and Andromache, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him. When she saw the body of her husband lying on the chariot, she held Hector's head and cried to death.

Everyone shed tears when they heard Andromah's heart-piercing cry, and King Priam also shed tears.

Pei Ziyun is silent, although he does not cry, at this moment, he is affected by the atmosphere, and there is a trace of sadness in his heart.

"Dear husband, you made me a poor widow, leaving me alone with a poor child."

"Alas, your son may not be able to raise adults. Introy will soon be destroyed. You will no longer be able to protect the city and the whole city, men, women, old and children."

"Soon, we will be captured and put on a Greek warship, and I will not be spared."

Andromache cried to his son Astianax, saying: "And you, my poor son Astianax, will also perform hard labor for a cruel master. Share the shame of your mother."

"Or you will be pushed down from the tower by a Greek to death, because your father killed his brother, or his father, or his son!"

Pei Ziyun listened to Andromero, knowing that she was talking about destiny, and then sighed: "Andromache, don't worry, I will protect you and your son."

"My husband, Hector, you see, in the end it was Paris who I had always been hostile to protect me and your son, but Troy was about to be destroyed, and Paris was unable to protect us."

"Because your own destiny is out of control, how can you protect us?" Andromache said, crying bitterly, seeming to have lost all hope.

Pei Ziyun shook her head slightly, knowing that no matter what she said, Andromache would not believe that she could protect them, and to protect Troy from destruction, she would never believe it.

Pei Ziyun didn’t intend to persuade him. Everything was based on the facts. He turned to the tired, gray-haired Priam and said, “Father, you haven’t slept all night. Go back and rest. Leave it to me."

Speaking, Pei Ziyun called a herald: "Go and order people to prepare firewood, find a craftsman to build a wooden bed, and build a cremation platform in the open area of ​​the palace garden at the fastest speed."

"Okay, Prince Paris." The herald was immediately ordered and bowed to leave.

Pei Ziyun ordered the people to move Hector's body into a room and wipe the body personally. The scars and gaps that were dragged out of the body were also sutured with needles and threads.

Cleaning and handling, Pei Ziyun carefully applied perfume on the body, and put on luxurious clothes, everything was taken care of, Hector's corpse was completely renewed, no more embarrassed, it seemed to be asleep at this time Lying on the bed.

"Prince Paris, the cremation stand has been built." A messenger came in to report.

"Well, go find some people to move Prince Hector's body to the wooden bed of the cremation platform." Pei Ziyun ordered.

Everyone was obediently obedient, and the power was transferred to Paris without knowing it.

Paris had a bad reputation in history, so even if Hector died, it was not his turn. But now, Paris is good at resourcefulness and has achieved great feats. Hector died, which is what everyone expects.

The Palace Garden·Opening Land

A two-meter-high cremation stand stands. The palace craftsmen use wood to build a beautiful wooden bed on the top of the cremation stand. Many flammable firewood are piled around the cremation stand.

There is a temporary altar next to the cremation stand. The middle altar of the altar is also two meters high, on which statues of Zeus and Apollo are placed.

Hector's body was transported over and placed it on the high wooden bed through the ladder.

In front of the altar, Princess Cassandra, the priest, was standing quietly, and the servants came up with the bull holding the gold.

Kassandra took the tray, put the gold in the altar, and slaughtered the bull to sacrifice.

"The awesome **** Zeus, the **** of long-range shooting, Apollo, you are so noble. I hope you can give grace and let Hector's soul rest in the underworld."

The ritual was completed, and everyone stood in a circle around the cremation platform, moving slowly, staring at Hector lying quietly on the wooden bed, and cherishing deep memory.

"My dear son, Hector, how cruel you are to leave us so early, the safety of Troy and the people of Troy are still on your shoulders, you are gone, Troy What to do, how can you bear to watch Troy be destroyed in the hands of the mob?"

Priams was talking, and couldn't help crying, listening to the elders all around, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

Hector's mother, Hekaber, was even more heart-piercing in tears, and still can't accept the reality of Hector's departure.

Pei Ziyun held a torch in his hand and lightly lit the pyre. The fire rose to the sky, and the surrounding flames turned red.

"Hector, my son, my son!" Hekabo screamed, fainting suddenly.

"Queen, queen." A maid quickly caught her body.

"You take the queen to rest." Pei Ziyun ordered, the fire burned for a long time, and everyone quietly remembered everything Hector was alive.

Gradually, the flame became smaller and smaller, and only a pile of ashes remained on the high cremation platform, and everyone poured out the remaining embers with sweet wine.

I picked up some bones from the ashes that had not been burnt, wrapped them in purple cloth, put them in a small gold box, and sent someone to bury them.

Next, Pei Ziyun turned to Priam: "Father~ IndoMTL.com~ I want to talk to you."

Priam was startled. As Paris walked through a flower corridor, he listened to his son asking: "Father, Troy was destroyed by that man. What was the biggest difficulty you gave to rebuild?"

When Paris asked this suddenly, Priam was shocked. He never expected that Paris would ask this, but if he thought about it, he said, "It’s not easy to build a city-state. Talent. Materials, authority, and strength are all indispensable."

"But Paris, we are the descendants of God. We have power and authority, and we are not lacking."

Pei Ziyun emphasizes the first point. He himself is a political master and a master of warfare. Of course, he understands that the foundation of all political power is force, and the prince of this world is not a big Xu world. Without people, he becomes a mortal. With the blood of God, the prince has no difficulty in suppressing mortals.

"With force, money is not very difficult. Only craftsmen, physicians, prophets, and scholars are relatively difficult. With them, even if the prince loses the city-state, it will not be difficult to build another one."

Speaking of this, Priam has realized it, and looked at his son with a sad and tender look: "Paris, I will prepare these for you. You can go with Onone."

"Puff" Pei Ziyun laughed. Priam is indeed a good father. He thought Hector was dead, and Paris wanted to escape, so he should give it convenience.

At this time, he said: "Father, you want to be worse, I want to prepare for this, but this is prepared for no trouble, don't wait in case there is too late."

"How can I leave? If I want to leave, I have to kill Achilles before leaving."

Priam was shocked when he heard it. He still wanted to talk, so he saw Paris turned around and said, "Besides, can I go?"

After hearing this, Priam was silent and let out a long sigh.
