Shima Hirohiko crouched on the snow and cursed silently.

It was already the winter solstice, and at this time in previous years, he was either simmering wine in Zhongdu (Note 1) with a fur fur and holding the stove, or listening to Dongpo relics and tasting Jiangnan tea in Mizhou.

But in just one year, the situation has collapsed!

Shi Mo Guangyan is very smart, otherwise he would not have seen the crumbling of the Great Jin Dynasty, let alone persuaded his father to turn his business to the Song Kingdom. But even so, he never imagined that the collapse of Daikin would come so quickly.

On the outskirts of Zhongdu at the winter solstice, the weather is cold and freezing, even if you breathe a sigh, you can also see the ice ballast falling downward. Shima Guangyan fell to the ground, feeling even more cold to the bone, but he didn't dare to stand up and move his hands and feet.

Less than a hundred feet away from him, a group of soldiers lazily gathered around the fire, whispering and talking.

This team of soldiers is a Dajin soldier, but now they are chasing Shima Guanghiko.

The Mongols were in the vanguard of this southern expedition, Jebe and Yelu Ahai, who was originally a minister of Dajin, but after sending an envoy to Mongolia, he was impressed by Temujin and took refuge in Mongolia. During Temujin's southern expedition, Emperor Jin was furious when he learned that Yelu Ahai was the vanguard and ordered the arrest of Ahai's family. The business of the Shi Mo family in Dadu mostly depends on the Ah Hai family, and the Jurchen magnates who were ordered to arrest have long coveted the business of the Shi Mo family, so the Shi Mo family was also involved. Hirohiko Ishima's father had been arrested and killed, and he was the only one in the family who escaped.

Thinking of his father's family who died tragically, Shi Mo Hirohiko's eyes turned red. He has made up his mind, now is not the time to cry and wail, if you want to take revenge, you have to get out first!

He quietly pulled out his short knife and crawled out inch by inch. Because the snow was full of snow, and people pressed on it, there would be a creaking sound, but fortunately, the cold wind was howling, and those golden soldiers were listless, even when they heard the sound, it was only the sound of the wind blowing on the branches, and no one got up.

After bypassing the two trees, Shima Hirohiko sighed at his hands, and when he first had, he could still feel some warmth in his hands, but after a while, there was only a knife-like pain.

Compared to this pain, the hunger in the belly is negligible.

It took nearly half an hour for him to climb out of the dozens of feet, and when he looked back, the fire around the Jin Bing looked so warm that he had the urge to turn into a moth. and the aroma of the wine, which made him even more greedy - that kind of bad wine, he would never have looked at it in the past.

Swallowing his saliva, Hirohiko Ishima finally came to his target, a horse tied to an old locust tree.

Jin Bing didn't know why he tied his horse so far away, which gave Shi Mo Hirohiko a chance to live. He cut the reins of one horse, and after thinking about it, he cut the reins of the rest of the horses as well.

The horse snorted uneasily and stomped its hooves vigorously, as if to remind its owner. However, there are often places where horses are used in the business of Shima Hirohiko's family, so he is very familiar with the nature of horses, and under careful reassurance, those horses have not made a louder noise.

Holding the reins of the horse in his hand, Shima Hirohiko didn't dare to be careless, and pulled the horse for another while. He wanted to get farther away and gallop again, but at this moment, a golden soldier stood up and moved his hands and feet, and when he happened to see him, he immediately rushed towards him in a rage. Hearing the sound of scolding behind him, Shima Hirohiko stabbed the horse's buttocks, leaving only one horse to ride on his own, and after turning over to the saddle, he galloped on the horse.

"Wu Na dog thief, dare to steal grandpa's horse, and if you don't come back, grandpa will kill your whole family!"

The golden soldiers roared behind him, and Shi Mo Guangyan did not look back, and the horse's hooves left a series of footprints in the snow, which was originally the best trace of tracking, but when Jin Bing lost his horse, he found those frightened horses, and because of Shi Mo Guangyan's knife, he couldn't catch up.

Faintly, Jin Bing heard Shi Mo Guangyan's mournful laughter coming from afar.

In the past few days, Shima Guangyan has tried several times to go north to seek refuge in Yelu Ahai, but because of the war, the border checks are extremely strict, and the pursuers who want to arrest him are very urgent, not only did he fail to succeed, but he lost all his belongings. Now that he has grabbed the horse, and then touched the saddle, there is still a skin, which makes Shi Mo Guangyan feel more comfortable.

It was that kind of inferior wine in the skin bag, and after opening the stopper and taking a sip, Hirohiko Ishima felt as if his stomach was on fire, but it was exactly what he needed.

This hot feeling can make him forget the cold, forget the grief of losing his family, and forget the pain of running around these days.

Another sip of bad wine was poured down, then a third, and when he lifted the skin for the fourth time, his hand suddenly stopped. He is still on the run, and he is on an empty stomach, and it is okay to drink a sip or two of this inferior spirit, but if he drinks too much, it will hurt his body secondly, and it will be bad to make a mistake.

He had a strong personality, but after this great change, his mind became more resolute, and when he thought of it, he put away the wine, wiped a handful of things on his face, whether it was tears or water, clamped the horse between his legs, and drove the horse to the south.

According to his original idea, the best way out to avenge his family and join the Mongol Great Khan Temujin was to avenge his family. But after several attempts failed, his mind gradually calmed down and his thoughts became more detailed. Now that the Mongol soldiers are strong and strong, and there are so many Dajin courtiers who have taken refuge in Temujin, even if he goes to take refuge, he may not be able to pay attention to it. Moreover, the two countries were in a state of war, and it was not easy to escape to the Mongols, so he ventured to surrender, and even if he did not die in the chaos, he would probably be arrested as a prisoner. Although his family has a close relationship with Yelu Ahai's family, he may be able to take refuge in Yelu Ahai, but if he is allowed to be a small official among the Mongols, he is unwilling.

Since he couldn't go north, he went south, and in the past year, he transferred his family's assets to the Song Kingdom, although because the time was still short, and only a small part of the transfer was transferred, but it was enough for him to revive his family business in the Great Song Dynasty.

With money, he can either fund the Mongols, or buy the Great Song Dynasty, or simply pull up a team of people himself, and he can take revenge! Now that Daikin is in turmoil, isn't it the time to fish in troubled waters?

Shi Mo Guangyan's heart gradually became hot, but this was different from the heat of Fang Cai's bad wine. Although the property of the Shi Mo family in the Jin Kingdom is difficult to preserve, the connections are still there, with these connections, he travels between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, and he can still revive the family business, earn hundreds of thousands of belongings, and then use this money to bury the Jin Kingdom that took away his father and family!

Thinking of the Great Song Dynasty, he thought of the maritime merchant who sold snow sugar, and the messenger of the family came last month, saying that the family entrusted by the maritime merchant was only orphans and widows, and if he could catch the merchant through them, he would have another way to make money, and he would be closer to the time of his revenge.
