When they woke up, they were already tied to wooden stakes.
Here again, the emperor stopped here and did not go any further.
Zhao Huan couldn't wait any longer, so Yue Yun got him a chair.
It was still snowing. Zhang Hao advised him to go inside and rest, but Zhao Huan calmly replied, "My people and soldiers are all here. Today, I will accompany them to send these beastly officials to meet the King of Hell!"
Sun Bangyuan was stripped naked, and several soldiers splashed cold water on him, which instantly made him feel much more awake.
