Chapter 1 Where Am I?

“Young Marquis, please get up quickly, it’s our turn to patrol.”

“Where am I?”

Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill all over his body. The wind was howling outside, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

“Hey, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We’re in the military camp. It’s our shift to stand guard. If we don't get up, we’ll be punished according to military law. Even the old Marquis can’t protect you now.”

“What?”

Qin Hu opened his eyes and saw that he was in a tent, and in front of him was a soldier in leather armor.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck him. A huge influx of information flooded his mind, and after a few seconds, he realized that he had transmigrated.

He had transmigrated from a modern special forces soldier to a young marquis also named Qin Hu, the leader of the seven most notorious young men in the capital!

And this era called the Great Yu Dynasty didn’t exist in history at all.

Qin Hu’s ancestors were one of the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Great Yu Dynasty. Three months ago, his father passed away from illness, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Marquis of Champion.

Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He didn’t like to study or practice martial arts, only indulging in playing, eating, drinking, and making merry, rampaging through the capital.

When he grew up, his family wanted him to settle down, so they arranged a marriage for him. The woman was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chen, named Chen Ruoli, a renowned lady from a prominent family, beautiful and virtuous.

This Qin Hu was extremely vicious to others, but he was exceptionally obedient to this beautiful fiancée, treating her like a treasure.

But the trouble arose from this very childhood sweetheart, Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he accompanied his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to the current Chang’an Princess. The princess and Chen Ruoli were close friends since childhood, so she arranged a banquet.

But later, Qin Hu drank too much and passed out. When he woke up, he was already in the inner guard’s prison. He was told that he had drunkenly harassed the princess, intending to commit misconduct.

What was even more bizarre was that Chen Ruoli actually submitted a memorial impeaching her fiancé Qin Hu for seventy-two illegal acts, each with evidence.

Qin Hu felt as if he had been struck by lightning at the time, and he simply couldn’t believe his ears...

The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering Qin Hu’s ancestors’ merits, he was spared the death penalty, but he couldn’t escape the punishment. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, retaining his title to observe his future performance.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line – to serve in the vanguard’s camp.

After these events flashed through Qin Hu's mind, he basically understood that this was a trap.

Because the Duke of Chen had long wanted to break off the engagement with him.

The Qin family and the Chen family were originally a political marriage. Both families wanted to become stronger, but the later Qin Hu, apart from being a playboy, was almost useless, and it could be said that he had completely disgraced the Marquis of Champion's mansion.

It should be known that all the previous Marquises of Champion were heroic figures who had unparalleled influence in the military, but in this generation, a good-for-nothing who had never been on the battlefield appeared.

When the old Marquis was alive, the Duke of Chen still gave him some face, but when the old Marquis died, the Duke of Chen turned ruthless and staged a scene of breaking off the engagement at the funeral.

But Qin Hu deeply loved Chen Ruoli and refused to agree to it, while Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted with this scoundrel.

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for the Chang’an Princess, it was even simpler. She was the cousin of Qin Hu's cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the vast property of the Marquis of Champion's mansion would naturally fall into the hands of this cousin.

These forces, each taking what they needed, colluded with each other and quickly united...

As expected, entering the Marquis’s mansion is like entering the deep sea. There are really too many people who want him dead.

“Qin An, do you think we can find a place to shelter from the wind?”

Under the bright moonlight, the rough north wind carried a piercing whistle, sweeping across the empty wilderness, blowing the torches flickering, like countless flying knives cutting people's skin.

“It’s not allowed, Young Marquis, we’ll be punished by military law.”

Qin Hu and Qin An shrank their heads and braved the wind, running out of the camp and stepping forward on the thick snow.

The weak Qin An was caught off guard and was directly overturned by the wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them come out, smiled at each other, scooped up two handfuls of snow and extinguished the warming bonfire, and then crawled into the tent.

Damn it, even the soldiers have been bribed. They want to freeze me to death!

This was a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages. The outer perimeter didn't even have chevaux-de-frise or antlers. The nearby terrain was flat and indefensible. It was clear that they didn’t plan to stay for long.

According to Qin Hu's memory from his previous life, there were about two hundred people stationed here. They were the vanguard camp of Li Qin, the General Conquering the North of the Yu Dynasty.

And the target of Li Qin's 20,000 troops this time was the Yu Dynasty's long-time enemy on the border, the Liaodong Kingdom.

“Cough cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can return alive?” Qin An curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and he spoke weakly, as if he could die at any time.

Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him, and if things continued to develop like this, the two of them would definitely die.

Those who wanted him dead didn’t finish him off in the court, so they used dirty tricks and ambushes in the military camp, trying to kill him.

But Qin Hu was definitely not one to sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a frame-up, and he couldn’t let it go.

Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only survive, but also kill my way back to the capital and settle accounts with you.

“Qin An, how many silver notes did we bring when we left?”

“There are no silver notes. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial decree stated that we were exiled to the army, and our family property was confiscated.”

Qin An was only 16 years old this year. He was Qin Hu’s personal servant, very thin and weak. He had already been tortured and looked like he was on his last breath.

Actually, Qin Hu wasn't much better. These days, the vanguard camp marched 30 *li* every day, and the work they did was opening roads through mountains, building bridges over rivers, chopping wood, making fires, digging ditches, carrying water, and building camps.

And what would happen when these two delicate guys stayed with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?

They would definitely do the most tiring work, eat the worst food, endure the most vicious beatings, and suffer the most anger...

Qin Hu estimated that his predecessor might have been tortured to death.

It could be considered that he deserved it.

But he had to bear this suffering now. If he couldn’t bear it, he would also die.

“Give it to me.”

Qin Hu had made up his mind. He had to find a way to save Qin An’s life first, and then think of other methods.

And saving his life was not difficult. The simplest way was to bribe. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstone. Although this method was primitive, it would always work.

But in this situation, he couldn’t bribe high-ranking officials, because no one dared to get involved with him. Besides, he had no money.

So he thought of one person in his mind, Centurion Li Xiaokun.

That is, the current leader of the vanguard camp. If you want to see the latest chapter content, please download Good Reading Novel, and read the latest chapter content for free without ads.
