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 turn to stand guard. If we don’t get up, we’ll be dealt with 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, and a huge flood of information rushed 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 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 passed away from illness, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Marquis of the Champion.

Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He didn't like reading, didn't like martial arts, only knew how to play, eat, drink, and be merry, and ran rampant 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 famous lady, 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 to be 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 molested the princess while drunk, intending to commit an unspeakable act.

Even more bizarre was what came next. Chen Ruoli actually wrote 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 had made great contributions, the death penalty was waived, but he could not escape a living punishment. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army and retain his title to see how he would perform.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line – to be used at the vanguard camp.

After these things flashed 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. 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’s mansion.

It should be known that the Champion Marquises of past generations 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 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 refused to agree to it, while Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted with this evil young master.

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for the Chang’an Princess, it was even simpler. She was a cousin of Qin Hu’s older male cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the enormous wealth of the Champion Marquis’s mansion would naturally fall into the hands of this older male cousin.

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

As expected, entering the Marquis’s mansion was like entering a deep sea; there were really too many people who wanted 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, making the torches flicker, and cutting people’s skin like countless flying knives.

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

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

The weak Qin An lost his footing and was directly overturned by the strong wind.

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

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

This was a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by horse-drawn carriages. There were no chevaux-de-frise or antlers arranged on the periphery, and the nearby terrain was flat, with no defenses to hold, obviously not intended for long-term stationing.

According to Qin Hu's previous life memories, about two hundred people were stationed here. They were the vanguard camp of Li Qin, the Zhengbei General of the Yu Dynasty.

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

"Cough, cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can go back alive?" Qin An's whole body was 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 definitely die.

Those who wanted him dead hadn't killed him in the court, so they were using underhanded methods and hitting him with clubs 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 was an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, he would not only survive but also fight his way back to the capital and settle accounts with them.

“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 the family property was confiscated.”

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 torment, looking like he only had one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu was not much better. These days, the vanguard camp marched 30 *li* every day. The work they did was to open roads through mountains, build bridges across water, chop wood and make fires, dig ditches and carry water, and build camps.

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

They would definitely do the hardest work, eat the worst food, get the most beatings, and suffer the most abuse…

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 must first find a way to save Qin An’s life, and then think of other ways.

And to save his life, it 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, 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 was 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.
