Chapter 1 Where is This?

"Young Marquis, you should 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 ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, and a huge torrent 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 notorious young masters in the capital!

And this era, called the Da 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 Da 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 to read or practice martial arts, only cared about playing, eating, drinking, and making merry, and rampaged 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 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 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 good friends since childhood, so she arranged a banquet.

But later, Qin Hu drank himself into oblivion. 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 misconduct.

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

Qin Hu was stunned, unable to believe his ears...

The imperial decree came down quickly, stating that in consideration of Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, the death penalty could be waived, but the living penalty was unavoidable. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the military, retaining his title to observe his future performance.

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

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. Both families wanted to become stronger and bigger, but the later Qin Hu, besides 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 previous generations were all heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the military, but in this generation, there was a good-for-nothing who had never 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 funeral.

But Qin Hu deeply loved Chen Ruoli and refused to agree, while Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted with this young 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 Champion Marquis's massive fortune 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 a noble family is like entering a deep sea. There were so 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, even more like countless flying knives cutting people's skin.

"It's not possible, Young Marquis, we'll be punished by 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 wind.

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

Damn it, even the soldiers have been bought off, wanting to freeze me to death!

This was a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by horse-drawn carriages. The outer perimeter didn't even have chevaux-de-frise arranged, and the surrounding terrain was flat, with no natural defenses. It was clear that they didn't plan to stay for long.

According to Qin Hu's memory 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 troops this time was the Yu Dynasty's long-time enemy on the border, the Liao Dong Kingdom.

"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. If things continued to develop like this, they would both surely die.

Those who wanted him dead hadn't managed to kill him in the court, so they were using underhanded tricks and hitting him with clubs in the military camp, trying to kill him.

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 survive, but I will 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 sealed."

Qin An was only 16 years old this year. He was Qin Hu's personal servant. He was very thin and weak, and had already been不堪折磨 (unable to endure the torment), looking like he only had one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu wasn't much better. In the past few days, the vanguard camp had been marching 30 *li* every day, and their job was to clear the way through mountains, build bridges over rivers, chop firewood, make fire, dig ditches, carry water, and build camps.

And what would be the situation 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, suffer the most beatings, and endure the most anger...

Qin Hu guessed 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 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 didn't have any money.

So, a person came to his mind: Centurion Li Xiaokun.

He was currently the top leader of the vanguard camp. If you want to read the latest chapter content, please download Haoyue Novel, and read the latest chapter content for free without ads.
