Chapter 1 Where is This?

“Young Marquis, you need to get up soon. 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 arose in his heart.

“Oh, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We’re in the military camp. It’s our shift to stand guard at this hour. If we don’t get up, it’s military law, and 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 ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, and a huge torrent of information flooded into his mind. 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 masters in the capital!

And this era, called the Great Yu Dynasty, simply did not exist in history.

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

Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He didn’t like reading, he didn’t like martial arts, he only knew how to play, eat, drink, and be a tyrant in 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 lady from a noble family, beautiful and intelligent.

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

But the trouble started 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 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 and intended to commit indecent acts.

What was even stranger was that Chen Ruoli actually submitted a memorial accusing her fiancé, Qin Hu, of seventy-two illegal acts, each with evidence.

Qin Hu was stunned, unable to believe his ears…

The imperial decree came down quickly. In consideration of 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 performance.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front lines – to be at the disposal of the vanguard 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. It could be said that he had completely disgraced the Champion Marquis Mansion.

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

When the old Marquis was alive, the Duke of Chen still gave him face, but after 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 refused to agree, while Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted with this evil young master.

Thus, a disaster befell him!

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 fortune of the Champion Marquis 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 a deep sea. There are really many people who want him dead.

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

Under the bright moonlight, the harsh northern wind, carrying an ear-piercing whistle, swept across the open wilderness, blowing the torches flickering, and cutting people’s skin like countless flying knives.

“It won’t work, 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 accidentally overturned by the wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them coming out, exchanged a malicious smile, scooped up two handfuls of snow and extinguished the bonfire, 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 wagons, and without even chevaux-de-frise arranged around the perimeter. The surrounding terrain was flat and there were no defenses. It was clear that they didn’t intend to stay for long.

According to Qin Hu’s memories 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-strong army was the Yu Dynasty’s archenemy 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 would die at any moment.

Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him, and if things continued to develop like this, they would both die.

Those who wanted him dead didn’t kill him in the court, so they used underhanded tricks in the military camp, beating him to death.

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

Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only live, but I will 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 said that we were exiled to the army, and our family property was sealed.”

Qin An was only 16 years old this year. He was Qin Hu’s personal attendant, very thin and weak, and already unbearable to the torture. He looked like he only had one breath left.

Actually, Qin Hu wasn’t much better. These days, the vanguard camp marched 30 *li* every day, and the work they did was to open roads in the mountains, build bridges over water, chop wood to make fires, dig ditches to carry water, and build camps.

And what would be the situation when these two delicate guys spent every day with hundreds of rough soldiers?

They must be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, getting the most vicious beatings, and suffering the most humiliation…

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 die too.

“Give it to me.”

Qin Hu had thought it through. He had to find a way to save Qin An’s life first, 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 turn the millstone. Although this method was primitive, it would always work.

But in this situation, he couldn’t bribe high 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 read the latest chapter content, please download Haoyue Novel, and read the latest chapter content without advertising for free.
