Chapter 358: 195 Unlucky Guy
As mentioned earlier, shortly after the Battle of Troy, Peleus began to travel around Greece in order to gain knowledge and hone his martial arts. Later, when he passed through Phthia, he was appreciated by the king Eurytianon there, and not only married his daughter Antigone to him, but also gave him a third of the land as a dowry.
Thinking that Peleus and Eurythion should have a good relationship with each other, the two of them participated together when the king of Caludon, Oryus, sent a conscription order to get rid of the wild boar.
Unfortunately, the hunt was a complete tragedy, with many people killed, and Eurytheion being the unluckiest one. During the fight, Peleus threw a throwing spear at the boar, but the boar was fine, but the old man Eurytheon was stabbed in the chest by the javelin that bounced out.
Feeling ashamed, Peleus felt shameless in the face of his wife and mother-in-law, and after entrusting the body of his father-in-law back, like Hercules, he also began his journey of self-exile.
During this period, the murder of a murderer in Greece was in need of purification, and Peleus thought of Acastus, a close friend he met during his travels, so he went to his city of Iorgios and asked his friend to help him clear his sin.
It's just that although the sin is purified, it has caused another injustice and sown the scourge of death.
At this time, a competitive game was being held in the area, and Peleus, who had been purified of his sin, immediately participated in the competition. He is also a famous hero in Greece, and how these small local competitions are difficult to defeat him, he immediately won several first places. As soon as he was overjoyed, he began to boast about how many exploits he had made on the Argo, and that he had made a contribution to the attack on Troy. So he soon became the protagonist, and everyone cast envious eyes.
The queen of Acastus is called Astydamea, and it is estimated that she is also a dissatisfied lord, and she was immediately attracted by his scorching dazzling brilliance, and often looked for opportunities to seduce him for a period of time after that, and later saw that Peleus did not react at all, and thought that Peleus had a wooden temperament, so she simply found an opportunity to pull Peleus to a dark room with spring love, and confessed enthusiastically and sincerely, wanting to achieve good things for the two.
Peleus is not like many of us today, who picks acquaintances to start, and adheres to the ancient principle of "a friend's wife, no drama", and sincerely sends a good person card to the queen.
Astydamea, who usually wants wind and rain, and has outstanding appearance, never expected to be rejected, so she devised a vicious plan to frame Peleus.
This femme fatale first wrote to Antigone, Peleus's wife, saying that your husband was not coming home because he was having an affair, and that he had now decided not to want you and to be a colt with us, and then she complained to her husband Acastus, the wicked man, that Peleus had often ****** me while you were away, but I did not agree, and he said that he would kill you in the future, and that he would take possession of me and our daughter.
Acastus was also very angry when he heard her words, and said that I will help you Peleus to clear your sins, and treat you with good food and drink, and you are so wolf-hearted that you will take revenge, so you will kill Peleus.
However, Acastus was the one who purified the sins of Peleus, and according to Greek custom, the cleanser could no longer kill the one who had cleared his sin. While he was thinking about what to do, Astydameaa came up with an idea for him, saying that my brother Aznor was not the king of Mthika, and that we should write a letter to him and ask him to send it to my brother, and ask my brother to kill him from there.
Acastus said that it won't work, what if he wants to take it apart halfway?
Astydamia said that this is not easy, and that you should ask him to help you escort a batch of grain to Mthika, and trust you to hand it over to the people who accompanied him, so that there would be no problems.
Acastus thought that this was a good idea, so he asked Peleus to be the captain, and led dozens of soldiers to carry a batch of grain to Wangtica and give it to his eldest brother.
Peleus wanted to tell his friend about the queen's infidelity, and he felt that such a bad reputation was bad, but the woman still often pestered herself. When I was worried about how to do it, I immediately agreed to it, and my heart said that I would send it over and flash people, and it would be done if I wasn't there. How did he know that his friend was going to send him to death this time.
The two places were not far apart, and it didn't take long for Peleus to bring the escorted supplies to them. When Agenor received the letter from his sister, he was furious, and the boy teased his sister without saying anything, but he even had such a vicious heart, and immediately decided to put Peleus to death.
However, Agenor had also heard of Peleus's reputation, knew that he was powerful, and was afraid that he would suffer his own losses, so he held a feast for Peleus, and wanted to get him drunk before killing.
Peleus didn't know what to do, and when he saw that people were so enthusiastic and polite, he immediately drank it. has no intention of calculating, and was soon drunk. When Agenor saw this, he immediately became angry, and immediately tied Peleus into a ball, and then scolded him there for being a wolf, and even avenging himself for taking the throne and adulterous wives and daughters.
After this fright, Peleus was already drenched in cold sweat and drunk, and immediately understood what was going on. It's just that he died, and before he died, he was scolded for being a villain who would take revenge and couldn't accept it, so he scolded: "Agenor, you are a villain, you will kill it, and you will bite me back, but I don't know that it was your femme fatale sister who seduced Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu didn't agree with you to set up a poisonous plan to harm me, and Lao Tzu would not let you go." ”
Seeing that Peleus was still insulting his sister at this time, how could he endure it, he immediately drew his sword and scolded to kill this beast in human skin.
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce Peleus's body, he saw a flash of white light, followed by a sound of the sword falling to the ground, and then Agenor folded his arms and screamed.
Peleus closed his eyes and waited for death, and when he heard a series of movements, he immediately opened his eyes, and said with great joy: "Big brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Save you, won't you die if we don't come?" said Thetis laughed.
Those guards still wanted to resist, but they were beaten by Sluder with three punches and two kicks, and none of them resisted. Excellence took out a letter and handed it to the stunned Agenor, "Look at this letter." ”
Agenor took it and saw that it was the letter written by his old sister Astydamea, to Antigone, and he knew the handwriting, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he read it.
Excellence untied the rope from Peleus's body and said in a deep voice: "Peleus, I said bad news, you must hold on after hearing it." ”
"You say. "Peleus is different from Telamon, he is not so tendonous, and when he hears it, he must have very bad news, otherwise Excellence would not be so strict.
Excellence took the letter from Agenor's hand, and then handed it to Peleus, saying, "Antigone committed suicide, and it was too late for us to arrive, and it was from the contents of the letter she received that we found here. ”
Peleus glanced at the letter and immediately understood what was going on, picked up a fallen sword on the ground, and threatened to kill Agenor. Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Peleus, Agenor was also deceived by his sister, he didn't expect Astydamia to lie to him and really treat you as a traitor. ”
When life and death were at stake, Agenor couldn't care about his sister anymore, so he immediately took out the letter and handed it to Peleus, shook his head and sighed: "This warrior is right, you can see it by looking at it, if you still think that we are conspiring to kill me again, it will be too late to kill me." ”
