Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 429 Death Is Not the End
"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 sensation in his heart.
"Oh, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We are in the military camp. It's our turn to stand guard. If we don't get up, we'll be punished by 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 him, and a huge stream 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 named Qin Hu, who was 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 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 to study, didn't like to practice martial arts, and 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 famous lady, beautiful and intelligent.
This Qin Hu was extremely vicious to others, but he was 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 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 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 stunned, unable to believe his ears...
The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, the death penalty was waived, but the living crime was unavoidable. 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 be used in front of the vanguard camp.
After these things 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 and bigger, but the later Qin Hu, apart from being a纨绔 (wan ku, good-for-nothing playboy), was almost useless. It could be said that he had completely disgraced the Marquis of Champion's mansion.
You must know that the successive Marquises of Champion were all heroic figures, with unparalleled influence in the military, but in this generation, there was a waste 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 his back ruthlessly and even staged a scene of breaking off the engagement in 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 wealth 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 mansion is like entering the deep sea. There are really too many people who want 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, blowing the torches flickering, 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 shrunk their heads and braved the wind, running out of the camp and stepping on the thick snow.
The weak Qin An was accidentally overturned by the strong wind.
Two sentries on duty saw them coming out, smiled at each other, and scooped up two handfuls of snow to extinguish the warming bonfire, and then crawled into the tent.
Damn it, even the soldiers have been bribed, trying to freeze me to death!
This is a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages, and no chevaux-de-frise or antlers arranged on the periphery. The nearby terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend. It seems that they do not plan to station here for a long time.
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-strong army this time was the Yu Dynasty's long-time 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 would die at any moment.
Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him. If things continue to develop like this, the two of them will surely die.
Those who wanted him dead did not kill him in the court, but secretly attacked him in the military camp, trying to kill him.
But Qin Hu was not a person who would sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a frame-up, and he could not 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 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 property was confiscated."
Qin An is only 16 years old this year. He is Qin Hu's personal servant. He is very thin and has long been unbearable to torture. He looks like he only has one breath left.
In fact, Qin Hu is not much better. These days, the vanguard camp marches 30 *li* (Chinese mile, approximately 0.5 km) every day, and the work they do is to open roads through mountains, build bridges over water, chop wood to make fire, dig ditches to carry water, and build camps.
And what will be the situation when these two delicate guys stay with hundreds of rough and sturdy soldiers every day?
They must be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, getting the most poisonous beatings, and suffering the most anger...
Qin Hu estimates that his predecessor may have been tortured to death.
It can be regarded as his deserved sin.
It's just that he must bear this suffering now. If he can't bear it, he will also die.
"Give it to me."
Qin Hu has made up his mind. He must first find a way to save Qin An's life, and then think of other ways.
Saving his life is not difficult. The simplest way is to bribe. As the saying goes, money can make gods move. Although this method is primitive, it always works.
But in this situation, it is impossible for him to bribe high officials, because no one dares to get involved with him. Besides, he has no money.
So he thought of a person in his mind, Centurion Li Xiaokun.
That is, the current head of the vanguard camp. If you want to see the latest chapter content, please download Good Reading Novel, ad-free and free to read the latest chapter content.
