Korea.

Southern State.

Ouyang Mansion.

Chu Mo has been staying in the house that originally belonged to Ouyang Mo in the past few days, cutting off contact with the outside world. First, he didn't want to appear too much in everyone's sight, and secondly, it was also to avoid Ouyang Mu, a thorny scourge from Skynet. In the past few days, he learned more about the details of the Ouyang family from the mouths of his subordinates.

The Ouyang family has huge branches and leaves, and it is quite well-connected. As a chaebol with one hand, their business has spread to all corners of South Korea. Although the Ouyang family has a complex root system, the largest branches of it restrain each other and do not disturb each other in various territories. Among them, the elders of the branch who have done the most business and the most influential can get the position of the patriarch of the Ouyang family and pass it on to future generations. Today's patriarch is Ouyang Mo's father Ouyang Zhenhua, he only has three heirs, Ouyang Mo's eldest brother and second brother have entered the court as an official, and are in a high position, in order to avoid suspicion, they basically do not interact with the family, so the burden of the heir is naturally on Ouyang Mo's body.

But what Chu Mo wanted to know more was Ouyang Mu's origin, judging from the information that Sun Sheng collected for him later, Ouyang Mu was the granddaughter of another elder in the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Su, who was now admitted to the academy, was a pair of sisters and brothers. That branch and Ouyang Zhenhua separated early and lived on the other side of Nanzhou, and Chu Mo didn't have to worry too much about living under the nose of Skynet all day long. But Ouyang Muding will not let himself go easily, and this trip to South Korea can be said to have just come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth, which is distressing.

Chu Mo looked around in Ouyang Mo's house, although many years had passed, the furnishings in his house were basically the same. In the simple and small room, the house is bright and clean, and a few sunny windows are open, and outside the window is the bamboo forest planted by the family, and the melodious birdsong comes and goes. In the room, a few mahogany tables with sandalwood have been turned gray, and the four treasures of the precious study are placed on the desk, but other than that, there is nothing special about the furnishings in the room, which inevitably makes people feel a little empty.

Chu Mo walked on the solid wood floor, and the wooden planks that had fallen into disrepair creaked. He looked up and saw a huge wooden cabinet blocking a wall, which was neatly stacked with books. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, most of which are from Ouyang Mo's hand, the font is chic and arrogant, and the wild grass with capital letters is like splashing ink.

In recent days, Ouyang Zhenhua deliberately wanted Chu Mo to stay alone in the room to think about the heir, so that no one would disturb him, and he would be happy to be idle. He took an empty flower pot from a table, burned the letter that Sun Sheng had secretly handed over, and then took out all the belongings he had in Wu Guodang County Order from his arms and threw them into the brazier. Looking at the flames that were ignited, the thoughts in Chu Mo's mind kept circling, thinking hard about the next countermeasure.

Ouyang Mu was the one who was transferred from Tianshu Pavilion to Tianwang, so she must have understood that her identity in Yan Country was also from Tianshu Pavilion, why hadn't she noticed her existence before? Before leaving Wu Kingdom, the two had met in a temple on the outskirts of Hangzhou, why did she pretend not to recognize herself, instead of waiting until she returned to Korea to find out her identity? She already knew that I was the prince of Chu State, and she pretended to be Ouyang Mo's identity, why didn't she show it to others? Why hasn't she done it yet, what is Skynet planning, and what are their plans?

These questions suddenly lingered in Chu Mo's heart, and his mind became chaotic for a while. He wanted to report to Lu Chuan, but he didn't know how to write.

Skynet killed so many people in Wu State just for a woman named Liu Xiaoxiao, who is she? What does it have to do with the case of stealing and selling armaments in Yan State?

At this time, Chu Mo didn't know what was happening in Wu Kingdom, he only felt that the truth seemed to be right in front of him, but he couldn't remember what was missing anything important.

Chu Mo thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue. Watching the ashes rise from the brazier, he sighed and tried to find something in the cupboard to put out the fire. But when he got up and walked to the cabinet and opened a drawer, he found a hidden compartment hidden in the cabinet.

Chu Mo frowned, stretched out his hand and stroked the surroundings of the dark grid. After fumbling for a while, he found a protrusion on the handle on the surface of the cabinet and pressed it. I heard a crisp click, and the dark grid popped out. It was a boxy box, exquisitely crafted and trimmed with gold, which did not fit in with the plain furnishings of the surrounding area. Chu Mo hesitated for a moment and took the box out of the dark compartment.

There was a rusty copper lock hanging on the box, Chu Mo stared at it, took out the hairpin from his sleeve, and tinkered with the copper lock for a while, and it didn't take much time to open it.

There was a thick stack of letters neatly stacked inside the box, Chu Mo sat on the side of the desk, took out the letters, and looked at them carefully.

After several years of dusting, the letters are still neatly folded. There are dense fly-headed small letters written in it, which is enough to see that Ouyang Mo was careful about it at that time. Chu Mo looked at it carefully, for fear of missing any detail.

In the middle of the letter were some opened envelopes, which were written in beautiful small letters: Brother Mo personally opened. Mu'er.

Mu'er: Is that Ouyang Mu?

Since she was originally a lady in the Ouyang family, why did she leave her hometown to go to Yan Kingdom and become a person under the seat of the Tianshu Pavilion? Could it be for Ouyang Mo?

Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. The fact that the State of Chu sent a large number of people to the Yan State to go undercover would be known to a Korean girl's family. How much more does she know?

Chu Mo picked up a letter at random and read it, the writing in these letters can be said to be extremely incomprehensible, and even Chu Mo couldn't help but appreciate it. The content of it is nothing more than a pair of men and women who are just beginning to fall in love with each other, but there seems to be a layer of paper between the two, and it is written very implicitly, but between the lines there is a hint of longing and love.

Chu Mo looked at it and roughly understood. Ouyang Mo and Ouyang Mu have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two met at the celebration banquet where Ouyang Mo's eldest brother entered the court as an official. At that time, Ouyang Mo had already gained some fame in Nanzhou with his good literary talents, but he was frail and sickly since he was a child, and his father Ouyang Zhenhua was very strict with him, so that he developed a self-esteem and unruly extreme character since he was a child.

And Ouyang Mu is in another branch of the Ouyang family, her father is one of the elders of the Ouyang family, coveting the position of patriarch for a long time, and Ouyang Zhenhua has always been at odds. Ouyang Mu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her father is regarded as a powerful arm to compete for the position of patriarch, and because of this, Ouyang Mo and Ouyang Mu almost fought when they met for the first time.

But later, Ouyang Mu was attracted by Ouyang Mo's literary brilliance and courage. At that time, the state of Chu had just entered Dacheng, and Ouyang Mo was familiar with military books, and had the lofty ambition of worrying about the worries of the people of the world, and wanted to enter the state of Chu to become a guest secretary. Seeing this, Chu Mo couldn't help but smile slightly, at that time, talented people all over the world would take it as their ambition to enter Chu Weiqing, and Ouyang Mo, who was far away in South Korea, was no exception. And Ouyang Mu's admiration for him somehow increased day by day, and the meeting between the two gradually became ambiguous.

But later, the state of Chu sent troops on a large scale, crusading everywhere, smoke broke out everywhere, and the war spread all over the world, the people were miserable, full of devastation, and South Korea was not spared. Several big chaebols in China were forced to supply money under the pressure of the Chu army, which led to soaring prices and starving prisoners everywhere. The Ouyang family also had to start cutting back on food and clothing, and their business plummeted. The relationship between Ouyang Mo and Ouyang Mu heated up rapidly because of the war, and they often met privately when their elders were busy with business. However, at that time, Ouyang Mo did not focus too much on the love of his children, he looked at the chaos on the streets of Nanzhou because of the war, and he was very worried. He repeatedly wrote to the Korean court, persuading the king of Han to send troops to fight against Chu together, but the king of Han was afraid of provoking the fire and hesitated, so he had to surrender and retreat. Ouyang Mo was often depressed because of this, and he had empty ambitions, but he couldn't display them.

One day, the Qin State took the lead in raising the banner of resisting Chu, and all parts of the country responded and rose up. Ouyang Mo felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had the idea of applying for the Xilu Academy of the Qin State to fight against Chu together on the day of the crown. Ouyang Mu was worried about his safety at that time and tried his best to dissuade him, but he still insisted on going his own way. Then Ouyang Zhenhua somehow knew about his private meeting with Ouyang Mu, the clan has always regarded intermarriage within the clan as a great shame, not to mention that he is the descendant of an old rival, he was furious with Ouyang Mo, and the conflict between father and son inevitably broke out.

Later, Ouyang Mo's second brother also entered the court as an official and became a general in the army to resist Chu, which further aroused Ouyang Mo's ambition. After saying goodbye to Ouyang Mu in a hurry late one night, he escaped from Ouyang's mansion and embarked on the road to the north to study alone.

This is the end of the letter in the box, and the last piece of paper is a farewell letter to Ouyang Mu. At the end of the letter, a small poem was mentioned.

The man's ambition is in the three rivers and five mountains, the gold armor and silver hook, regardless of the farewell to the palace, stepping on the snow into Chu for 30,000 miles.

Renshi is not afraid to carry a pen from Rong, bamboo hat clothes, dream back to the west foot at night, and go north to the four directions with stars.

After Chu Mo finished reading it, he sat alone and thought for a while, closed the letter, and sighed.

There was a bronze mirror on the desk, and Chu Mo looked at the face that he had become accustomed to inside, and he was a little strange in a trance.
