Chapter 391

"That can save a bit."

Master Dou also saw Li Shun's intention and nodded, saying, "I won't overcharge you here."

Although Li Shun was meticulous about money, he was generous when it came to getting things done. Hearing Master Dou's words, he waved his hand and said, "What are you saying? You're an old friend..."

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

"Where am I?"

Qin Hu sat up, dazed, feeling a chill on his body. Outside, a strong wind was howling, and he felt a sudden strangeness in his heart.

"Oh, Little Marquis, why are you confused? We're in the military camp. It's our turn to stand guard at this hour; if you don't get up, you'll be dealt with 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, with a soldier in leather armor in front of him.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck him. A huge stream of information rushed into his mind, and a few seconds later, he knew he had transmigrated.

He had transmigrated from a modern special forces soldier into a Little Marquis also named Qin Hu, the head of the seven evil youths of 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. Three months ago, his father passed away, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.

Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since childhood; he didn't like to study, didn't like to practice martial arts, and only knew how to play, eat, drink, and be merry, 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 Chen Duke's family, named Chen Chen Ruoli, a lady from a noble family, beautiful and virtuous.

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

But the trouble happened precisely because of this childhood sweetheart, the eldest Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he took his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to the current Princess Changan. The princess and Chen 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 Inner Guard's prison. He was told he had drunkenly molested the princess and had improper intentions.

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

Qin Hu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he simply couldn't believe his ears...

The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering the merits of Qin Hu's ancestors, the death penalty was waived, but the living penalty was unavoidable. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, retaining his title to observe his future conduct.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly sent to the front lines—to serve under the vanguard.

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

Because the Chen Duke had long wanted to break off the engagement.

The Qin and Chen families were originally a political marriage, both wanting to become stronger. And the later Qin Hu, besides being a playboy, was almost useless, which could be said to have shamed the Champion Hou Fu.

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

When the Old Marquis was alive, the Chen Duke gave him face, but after the Old Marquis died, the Chen Duke turned heartless, even staging a scene of breaking off the engagement at the funeral hall.

But Qin Hu loved Chen Chen Ruoli deeply and refused to agree, while Chen Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted by this evil youth.

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for Princess Changan, it was even simpler. She was the cousin of Qin Hu's cousin. As long as Qin Hu died, the vast family property of the Champion Hou Fu would naturally fall to this cousin.

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

Indeed, once you enter the Hou Fu, it's as deep as the sea; there are really many people who want him dead.

"Qin An, do you think we can find a place to get out of the wind?"

Under the bright moonlight, the violent north wind carried a piercing whistle, sweeping across the vast wilderness, making the torches flicker, cutting people's skin like countless flying knives.

"No, Little Marquis, we'll be dealt with by military law."

Qin Hu and Qin An, hunched over, ran out of the camp, stepping on the thick snow.

The frail Qin An wasn't paying attention and was knocked over by the strong wind.

Two sentries changing shifts saw them come out, smiled sinisterly at each other, took two handfuls of snow to extinguish the campfire, and then ducked 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 carriages. There were no obstacles like horse traps or deer horns on the periphery, and the terrain was flat with no defenses, clearly not intended for long-term stationing.

According to Qin Hu's previous life's memory, about two hundred people were stationed here; they were the vanguard camp of General Li Qin of the Yu Dynasty.

And the target of Li Qin's twenty-thousand-strong army was the Yu Dynasty's old enemy on the border, the Liaodong Kingdom.

"Cough, cough, Little Marquis, do you think we can return alive?" Qin An curled his whole body on the snow, his lips and face blue, speaking weakly, as if he could die at any moment.

Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him, and if things continued like this, they would definitely die.

Those who wanted him dead didn't finish him off in the court, so they used dirty tricks and ambushes in the military camp to finish him off.

But Qin Hu was not a person who would 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, I will not only survive, but I will also return to the capital to settle scores with you all.

"Qin An, how much silver did we bring when we left?"

"No silver left. I only have twenty taels on me. The imperial decree said we were exiled to the army, and the family property was confiscated."

Qin An was only 16 years old, Qin Hu's personal book boy, very thin and weak, already unable to bear the torture, looking like he had only one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu was no better. For the past few days, the vanguard camp marched 30 li every day, doing work like clearing paths through mountains, building bridges over water, cutting firewood, digging ditches, and setting up camp.

And what would it be like for these two delicate guys to stay with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?

Surely doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, taking the most poisonous beatings, and suffering the most anger...

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

It could be considered his just deserts.

It's just that this suffering must now be borne by him; if he can't bear 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 find other ways.

And saving his life is actually not difficult. The simplest method is bribery. As the saying goes, money can move gods. Although this method is primitive, it is always effective.

But in this situation, he couldn't bribe high officials because no one dared to get involved with him. Besides, he had no money.

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

That is, the current head of the vanguard camp. To see the latest chapter content, please download, read the latest chapter content for free without ads..
