Chapter 368: Surveillance Carried Everything in the End

~8 min read 1,507 words

"Little Marquis, please get up quickly, it's our turn to patrol."

"Where am I?"

Qin Hu sat up in a daze, feeling cold all over, and a strong wind was blowing outside, making him feel strange in his heart.

"Oh, Little Marquis, why are you confused? We are in the military camp. It's our turn to stand guard at this hour. If you don't get up, you will 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 currently in a tent, and in front of him was a little soldier wearing leather armor.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask something, a sudden splitting headache occurred, and a huge stream of information rushed into his mind. A few seconds later, he knew he had traveled through time.

He had traveled from a modern special forces soldier to a Little Marquis also named Qin Hu, the head of the seven evil young masters in the capital!

And this era called the Great Yu Dynasty did not exist in history at all.

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 due to 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, didn't love reading, didn't love martial arts, only knew how to play, eat, drink, and have fun, running rampant in the capital.

When he grew up, his family wanted him to settle down, so they arranged a marriage. The woman was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chen family, named Chen Ruoli, a lady from a famous family, beautiful and virtuous.

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

But things happened to this childhood sweetheart, the eldest Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he took his fiancée into the palace to pay respects to the current Princess Chang'an. The princess and Chen Ruoli had been close since childhood, so she arranged a banquet.

But later Qin Hu drank until he blacked out. When he woke up, he was already in the prison of the Inner Guard. He was told that he had molested the princess while drunk and had ulterior motives.

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

Qin Hu felt like he had been struck by lightning at the time, and couldn't believe his ears...

The imperial edict soon came down. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, the death penalty could be avoided, but living punishment was unavoidable. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, retaining his title to observe his future performance.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was soon arranged to the front line—listening to orders before the vanguard tent.

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, and the later Qin Hu was almost useless except for being a dandy, which could be said to have lost all the face of the Champion Marquis Mansion.

You know, the Champion Marquises of all generations were heroic figures with incomparable influence in the army, but in this generation, there was a waste who had never been to the battlefield.

When the Old Marquis was alive, the Duke of Chen gave face. When the Old Marquis died, the Duke of Chen turned his face and became ruthless, actually staging a scene of breaking off the engagement in the mourning hall.

But Qin Hu loved Chen Ruoli deeply and refused to agree no matter what, while Chen Ruoli had long been very disgusted with this evil young master.

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for Princess Chang'an, it was even simpler. She was the cousin of Qin Hu's cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the huge family property of the Champion Marquis Mansion would naturally fall to this cousin.

These forces, each taking what they needed, colluded together, and thus quickly united...

It really is as deep as the sea when entering the Marquis Mansion. There are really many people who want him to die.

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

Under the bright moonlight, the violent north wind carried a harsh whistle, sweeping across the open wilderness, blowing the torches on and off, and cutting people's skin like countless flying knives.

"No, Little Marquis, we will be punished by military law."

Qin Hu and Qin An shrank their heads and necks against the wind, ran out of the camp, and ran forward stepping on the thick snow.

The thin Qin An was not careful and was directly overturned by the strong wind.

The two sentries changing shifts saw them come out, smiled sinisterly at each other, scooped up two handfuls of snow to extinguish the bonfire for warmth, and then drilled into the tent.

Damn it, even the little soldiers were bought, wanting to freeze me to death!

This is a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages. There were not even anti-cavalry obstacles arranged on the periphery, and the nearby terrain was flat, with no danger to defend, and it didn't look like it was intended to be stationed 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 General Li Qin of the Yu Dynasty who was conquering the north.

And the target of Li Qin's 20,000-strong army this time was the Liaodong Kingdom, the old enemy of the Yu Dynasty on the border.

"Cough cough, Little Marquis, do you think we can still go back alive?" Qin An's whole body curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and his speech was weak, as if he would die at any time.

Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him, and if things developed like this, both of them would definitely die.

Those who wanted him to die didn't kill him in the court, so they played dirty tricks in the military camp, trying to torture him to death.

But Qin Hu was by no means a person who would sit and wait for death. This was clearly a matter of being framed, and he couldn't just let it go.

Life is originally an endless struggle for survival. Wait, I will not only live, but also kill back to the capital and settle accounts with you.

"Qin An, how much silver notes did we bring when we went out?"

"There are no silver notes anymore. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial edict said that we were exiled to the army, and the family property was sealed."

Qin An is only 16 years old this year and is Qin Hu's personal book boy. He is very thin and has long been unable to bear the torture, looking like he only has one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu was not much better. In the past few days, the vanguard camp marched 30 miles every day. The work they did was to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, cut firewood and burn fire, dig ditches and carry water, and build camps.

And what would happen to these two delicate guys staying with hundreds of big, rough soldiers every day?

They must be doing the most tiring work, eating the worst food, suffering the most poisonous beatings, and receiving the most anger...

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

It could be considered that he deserved it.

It's just that this suffering must now be carried by him. If he can't carry it, he will 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 saving his life is actually not difficult. The simplest method is bribery. As the saying goes, money can communicate with gods. Although this method is primitive, it is always useful.

But in the current situation, he couldn't bribe high-ranking officials because no one dared to get involved with him. Besides, he had 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, free reading of the latest chapter content without ads..
