Chapter 29: The Uninvited Guest
Wang Mang and Ye Lian continued to hurry, and finally arrived at the royal court.
"Ye Lian, what's the matter? Did you bring a friend back with you? Ye Lian's good sister Ye Hao said.
"He is the nephew of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, the cousin of His Majesty today, and the Marquis of Xindu, Lord Mang." Ye Lian said with a smile.
"Wang Mang? I've heard of it. The cowardly bag who was beaten by Wuhuan last time and fled in embarrassment. Ye Hao sneered.
Wang Mang's heart was very uncomfortable. He thought to himself: It turns out that in the eyes of the Huns, I am just a gentleman who has been promoted by nepotism. I used to feel so good about myself.
"Look at what, Wang Mang. You are a relative of the Han Dynasty, amazing. The old lady won't eat your set. To our Hun Khanate. You are our Huns, and it is polite not to let you be a slave. Ye Hao said unashamedly.
"Ye Hao, you're enough. You ridiculed Lord Wang like this, and when Lord Wang returned to the Han Dynasty, he didn't know how to punish you. Ye Lian said solemnly.
"Haha, it's him, can you not make fun of me? Who doesn't know that the emperor of the Han Dynasty has already gone down to the sea to catch documents. Wang Mang is wanted nationwide. The emperor of the Han Dynasty told our Hun Dadan Yu that he would find Wang Mang, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households. If I weren't a woman, I'd hand you over to the big man now. Ye Hao said with a smile.
Ye Hao's words pierced Wang Mang's heart like a sharp sword.
Subsequently, Wang Mang followed Ye Lian to meet Ning Hu Yan.
When Ning Hu Yan saw Wang Mang coming, he smiled and said, "Brother Mang, it's finally easy for you again." ”
"Auntie." Wang Mang smiled.
"Why do you call me aunt? Could it be that I look old? Ning Hu Yan touched his cheek and wondered.
"You and my aunt are sisters. Shouldn't I call you Auntie? Wang Mang said with a smile.
Ning Hu Yan's heart suddenly chuckled. She thought to herself: Wang Mang still treats me as an aunt after all. Don't I have a little affection in his heart?
Wang Mang smiled: "Ning Hu Yan's clan." I have a reluctant request. ”
"Say it quickly." Ning Hu Yan smiled.
"I hope that the Yan family can help me clarify the truth. Actually, I didn't want to break from prison. It was your maid Ye Lian who knocked me unconscious. Wang Mang continued.
He didn't notice the displeasure on Ning Hu Yan's face.
"Wang Mang, you're enough. How can there be so many words. Annoying? Ning Hu Yan suddenly interrupted Wang Mang's words and scolded hysterically.
Wang Mang was frightened by the sudden change in the Ning Hu clan, and thought: What happened to this Aunt Wang Zhaojun? Is it menopause?
The python spirit in his body seemed to have awakened again.
The python spirit said to him: "Wang Mang, you are the Son of Heaven of the Great New Empire. How can you be controlled by others? Wang Mang felt that his head was about to explode.
He suddenly felt that his eyes were black, and the whole person fell.
"Reckless." Ning Hu Yan rushed forward and hugged Wang Mang.
She shouted randomly, "Lang Zhong, come on." ”
Wang Mang felt that his soul had flown into a cave. The cave was full of poisonous snakes, tigers, and rhinoceros.
He looked at it and said, "Where is this?" How did I get here? ”
"This is the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Wang Mang. He saw a big white python appear in front of him.
"You're the White Snake? The white snake that Emperor Gaozu killed back then? Wang Mang asked.
"You have a good memory. Wang Mang. I am the white snake in Mangdang Mountain back then. The python chuckled.
"Then why are you messing around? Emperor Gaozu of that year is now long gone. When is the time for retribution? Why don't you continue? Wang Mang said helplessly.
"Wang Mang, you don't understand. I'm doing this for the sake of our White Emperor clan. As long as you ascend to the throne, kill the prophesied Liu Xiu. The empire of our White Emperor clan can last for three thousand years, or even longer. The python spirit vomited blood and said.
"I don't want the world to be in chaos again, and the people will shed blood and die again. Lone has seen too many people displaced, too many people without food and clothing. Wang Mang said, and actually cried.
"Wang Mang, have you ever wondered who caused all this? What are you doing every day? The python chuckled.
"I am so that the people of Dahan can live and work in peace and contentment." Wang Mang said awe-inspiringly.
"Wang Mang, you are wrong. You are completely looking after the store for the Liu family. The emperor of the Liu family himself indulged in the pleasures of the wine pond and the meat forest, the sound of dogs and horses. But it makes you charge ahead. Is there a more stupid official in the world than you? The anaconda scoffed.
"I do. Confucianism should take it as its responsibility to govern the country and bring peace to the world. Wang Mang said.
"Wang Mang, you are really a nerd. You think so, it's just cheapening Liu Biao's idiot emperor for nothing. The python chuckled.
"It's not like that. His Majesty is a wise man, and he told me that he was just pretending. Wang Mang argued.
"You're wrong. Liu Biao has just been taking advantage of your loyalty. He has long been planning to uproot your royal family in his heart. His sea fishing papers are proof of this. The python chuckled.
"No, Your Majesty is just confused for a while." Wang Mang explained.
"I'm really completely disappointed in you. Wang Mang. After saying that, the python spirit disappeared completely.
Then, his wife Wang Jingyan appeared, she said, "Wang Mang, where did you go?" Are you going to find Liu Yao's sassy fox again these days? ”
"No, lady. I've never touched her. Wang Mang panicked and hurriedly explained.
"Really?" Wang Jingyan's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Lady. You have to trust me. Wang Mang shouted.
At this time, Ning Hu Yan was waiting for him in front of Wang Mang's bed. She heard Wang Mang shouting, "Lady, lady." I didn't take a concubine. It's just that His Majesty gave me a marriage, and I can't help it. ”
Ning Hu felt that his heart was about to break.
She thought to herself: Wang Mang, Wang Mang. Why don't you have me in your heart? At the risk of being executed, I sent Ye Lian to save you. But what about you? In his heart, he is still his wife Wang Jingyan. Wang Mang, do you know? I thought to myself, it's just you. Although you call me aunt. But didn't Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty also marry his aunt Xu Qinglin as the queen? What happened to my aunt? Isn't it just a little older than you? As long as I can be with you, there is nothing wrong with giving up the title of the Yan clan.
Thinking of this, Ning Hu Yan held Wang Mang's hand tightly, and her tears dripped in Wang Mang's palm.
The emperor lives up to his wishes. The next day, Wang Mang finally woke up.
Wang Mang said to Ning Hu Yan, "Ning Hu Yan, you put me in your tent. How can you explain to Da Danyu? ”
"It's fine. Da Shan Yu doesn't care, he often has beauties on his side. It doesn't matter how I play anymore. Ning Hu Yan stuck out his tongue and laughed.
"I am a little unaccustomed to the openness of you Huns." Wang Mang said with a smile.
On this day, Ye Lian was eating grilled fish with Ning Hu Yan and Wang Mang.
The campfire in the camp burned unusually vigorously and made a zizzling sound. Suddenly, Ye Lian felt a wave of nausea, hurriedly stepped aside, and threw up.
Ning Hu Yan looked at Wang Mang and said with a smile: "I'm afraid she has a look." What have you done lately? ”
"No。。。。。。 Yes. Wang Mang suddenly panicked and said hesitantly.
"Why do you think that Ye Lian is pregnant with your seed?" Ning Hu Yan pointed out the root cause of the problem.
Wang Mang trembled with fright and said, "No。。。。。。 Yes...... ”
So, how will Ye Lian's affairs end? The news of Wang Mang's escape from prison soon spread among the various vassal states. How will Wang Mang deal with it?
