“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 sudden wave of strangeness.

“Hey, 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, 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, facing a soldier in leather armor.

Just as he was about to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, and a massive flood of information rushed into his mind. A few seconds later, he realized he had transmigrated.

He had gone from being a modern special forces soldier to a young marquis also named Qin Hu, the leader of the seven notorious young masters of the capital!

And this era called the Da Yu Dynasty didn't exist in history at all.

Qin Hu's ancestors were among the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Da Yu Dynasty. Three months ago, his father passed away from 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, disliking studying and martial arts, only interested in playing, eating, drinking, and causing trouble 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 and virtuous lady.

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 arose with this childhood sweetheart, Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, he had accompanied his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to the current Chang’an Princess. The princess and Chen Ruoli had been close 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 guards' prison. He was told that he had drunkenly harassed the princess and intended to commit indecent acts.

Even more bizarrely, Chen Ruoli actually submitted a memorial accusing her fiancé, Qin Hu, of seventy-two illegal acts, each supported by evidence.

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

An imperial decree soon followed. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, he was spared the death penalty, but not the living one. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, retaining his title to observe his future performance.

However, after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line – to be used at the vanguard's command.

After these things ran through Qin Hu's mind, he basically understood that this was a trap.

Because the Duke of Chen had wanted to break off the engagement for a long time.

The Qin and Chen families were originally a political marriage. Both families wanted to become stronger, but the later Qin Hu, besides being a wastrel, was almost useless. It could be said that he had disgraced the Champion Marquis’s mansion.

You must know that generations of Champion Marquises were heroic figures who had 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 even staged a scene of breaking off the engagement at the funeral.

But Qin Hu deeply loved Chen Ruoli and stubbornly refused. Chen Ruoli, however, was already very disgusted with this young master.

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 vast wealth of the Champion Marquis’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 gate is like entering a deep sea. There were really many people who wanted him dead.

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

Under the bright moonlight, the rough northern wind carried a piercing whistle, sweeping across the empty 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 shrunk their heads and braced themselves against the wind, running out of the camp and forward through the thick snow.

The weak Qin An was accidentally overturned by the strong wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them come out, exchanged malicious smiles, scooped up two handfuls of snow, extinguished the fire they were using to warm themselves, and 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 wagons. 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 intend to be stationed there for long.

According to Qin Hu's memories from his previous life, about two hundred people were stationed here. They were the vanguard camp of Li Qin, the General Who Conquers 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 return alive?” Qin An curled up on the snow, his lips and face blue, speaking weakly, as if he would die at any moment.

Qin Hu sighed inwardly. Qin An was purely implicated by him. If things continued to develop like this, the two of them would surely die.

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

But Qin Hu was not one to sit and wait for death. This was clearly a frame-up, 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 accounts with you all.

“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 exiled to the army, and our family property was confiscated.”

Qin An was only 16 years old this year. He was Qin Hu's personal servant, very thin and weak. He was already exhausted and looked like he was on his last breath.

Actually, Qin Hu was not in much better shape. In the past few days, the vanguard camp had been marching 30 *li* every day, and the work they were doing was opening roads through mountains, building bridges over rivers, chopping wood, making fires, digging ditches, carrying water, and building camps.

And what would the situation be like for these two tender-skinned guys, spending every day with hundreds of rough soldiers?

They were definitely doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, getting the most beatings, and suffering the most anger...

Qin Hu estimated that his predecessor might have been tortured to death.

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 decided that he must first find a way to save Qin An's life, and then think of other ways.

And saving his life was not difficult. The simplest method was to bribe. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstone. Although this method was primitive, it always worked.

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 someone in 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 Good Reading Novels to read the latest chapter content without ads for free.
