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 he felt a strange sense of bewilderment.

"Oh, 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 a soldier in leather armor was standing in front of him.

Just as he was about to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, and a huge flood of information rushed into his mind. After a few seconds, he realized that he had transmigrated.

He had gone from being a modern special forces soldier to a young marquis also named Qin Hu, who was the leader of the seven notorious young masters of the capital!

And this era called the Great Yu Dynasty simply didn't exist in history.

Qin Hu's ancestors were one of the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Great Yu. Three months ago, his father died of 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 reading or martial arts, only playing, eating, drinking, and making trouble, running rampant in the capital.

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

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

But the problem happened with this childhood sweetheart, Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he took his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to the current Princess Chang'an. 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 and had ulterior motives.

Even more bizarre was what followed. Chen Ruoli actually submitted a letter impeaching her fiancé Qin Hu for seventy-two illegal acts, each with evidence.

Qin Hu was thunderstruck at the time and couldn't believe his ears...

The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, the death penalty was waived, but he could not escape a living punishment. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, retaining his title to observe his future conduct.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line – to be used in front of the vanguard's tent.

After these things passed through Qin Hu's mind, he basically understood that this should be 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, and both families wanted to become stronger and bigger. Later, Qin Hu, besides being a playboy, was almost useless. It could be said that he had disgraced the Marquis of Champion's mansion.

You should know that the Marquises of Champion of previous generations were all heroic figures, with unparalleled influence in the military, but in this generation, there was a useless person who had never even been on the battlefield.

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

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

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for Princess Chang'an, it was even simpler. She was the cousin of Qin Hu's cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the vast fortune 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 gate is like entering a deep sea. There were really many people who wanted him dead.

"Qin An, do you think we can find a place to get out of the wind?"

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

"It's not possible, Young Marquis, we'll be punished according to military law."

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

The weak Qin An was accidentally overturned by the strong wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them coming out, smiled sinisterly at each other, scooped up two handfuls of snow and extinguished the bonfire for warmth, 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, and the surrounding terrain was flat and indefensible. It was clear that they didn't plan to stay for long.

According to Qin Hu's memories from his previous life, about two hundred people were 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-strong army this time was the Yu Dynasty's longtime enemy on the border, the Liaodong Kingdom.

"Cough cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can go back 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 moment.

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

Those who wanted him dead didn't finish him off in the court, so they were using underhanded tricks and beating him to death in the military camp.

But Qin Hu was definitely not one to sit still and wait for death. This was clearly 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 the score with you.

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

"There are no silver notes anymore. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial decree said 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 attendant. He was very thin and weak, and had already been tortured beyond recognition. He looked like he only had one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu was not much better. In the past few days, the vanguard camp marched 30 *li* every day, and the work they did was to open roads through mountains, build bridges over water, chop firewood, cook, dig ditches, carry water, and build camps.

And what would happen to these two tender-skinned guys being with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?

They would definitely do the hardest work, eat the worst food, suffer the most beatings, and endure the greatest humiliation...

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

It could be regarded as 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 must first find a way to save Qin An's life, and then think of other ways.

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

But in this situation, it was impossible for him to bribe high officials, because no one dared to get involved with him. Besides, he didn't have any 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 read the latest chapter content, please download Good Reading Novels to read the latest chapter content for free without ads.
