Chapter 1 Where Am I?

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

“Where am I?”

Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill on his body. The wind howled outside, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

“Oh, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We are in the military camp. It’s our shift to stand guard. If you 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, and a huge stream of information flooded into his brain. 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 Great Yu Dynasty did not exist in history.

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 due to 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 read or practice martial arts. He only knew how to play, eat, drink, and be 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 intelligent.

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

But the problem arose 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 good 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 molested the princess and intended 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 was thunderstruck at the time and 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 could not escape punishment. He was sent 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 serve in 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 and bigger, but the later Qin Hu, apart from being a playboy, was almost useless. It could be said that he had completely lost the Champion Marquis’s Mansion’s face.

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, 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 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 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 cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the Champion Marquis’s Mansion’s vast wealth 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 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 rough north wind, carrying a piercing whistle, swept across the empty wilderness, causing the few torches to flicker, and even cutting people’s skin like countless flying knives.

“It won’t work, Young Marquis, we’ll be punished according to 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 accidentally got blown over by the wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them coming out, exchanged sinister smiles, and threw two handfuls of snow to extinguish the warming bonfire before crawling 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 carts, and the outer perimeter was not even lined with caltrops. The surrounding terrain was flat and offered no natural defenses. It was clear that they did not intend to stay for long.

According to Qin Hu’s previous life’s memory, 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 Liaodong, the Yu Dynasty’s long-time enemy on the border.

“Cough cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can still go back alive?” Qin An curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and his voice was weak, as if he could 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 definitely die.

Those who wanted him dead couldn’t kill him in the court, so they used underhanded methods in the military camp to beat him to death.

But Qin Hu was not a person who would sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a framed-up matter, and he couldn’t let it go.

Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, not only will I 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, ah. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial decree said that we were being 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, very thin and weak, and already exhausted from the torment, looking like he was on his last breath.

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

And what would be the situation when these two delicate and tender guys were with hundreds of burly soldiers every day?

They would definitely do the hardest work, eat the worst food, get the most vicious beatings, and suffer 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 must first find a way to save Qin An’s life, and then think of other ways.

To save his life was not difficult. The easiest way was to bribe. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones. 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 didn’t have any money.

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

He was currently the leader of the vanguard camp.
