Chapter 679: You've been cheated

~8 min read 1,487 words

"Young 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 the north wind was howling outside, which made him feel strange in his heart.

"Oh, Young 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'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 in a tent, and in front of him was a soldier wearing leather armor.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, 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 young marquis also named Qin Hu, the head of the seven evil young masters in the capital!

And this era called the Dayu 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 Dayu Dynasty. His father died of illness three months ago, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.

Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He didn't like reading, didn't like martial arts, only liked playing, eating, drinking, and having 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 Chen Duke's family, named Chen Ruoli, a famous lady, virtuous and capable.

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

But the problem happened with this childhood sweetheart, 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 attempted misconduct.

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

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

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

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

After these things passed through Qin Hu's mind, he basically figured it out. This should be a trap.

Because the Chen Duke 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 grow stronger, and the later Qin Hu was almost useless except for being a playboy, 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 Chen Duke gave face. When the Old Marquis died, the Chen Duke turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, 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.

So 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...

Sure enough, once you enter the Marquis Mansion, it's as deep as the sea. There are really many people who want him to die.

"Qin An, can you say we 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 until they were flickering, and it was like countless flying knives cutting people's skin.

"No, Young Marquis, we will be dealt with by military law."

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

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

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 soldiers were bought off. They want to freeze me to death!

This is a very small camp with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages. There were not even any obstacles or deer horns on the outside, and the terrain nearby was flat, with no danger to defend. It looked like they didn't intend to stay 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 Dayu Dynasty.

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

"Cough cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can still go back alive?" Qin An's whole body was 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 continued to develop 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 kill him.

But Qin Hu was by no means a person who would sit and wait for death. This was clearly a case of being framed, and he could not let it go.

Life is originally an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only live, 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 went out?"

"There are no silver notes anymore. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial decree said that we were sent 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 weak, and has long been unable to bear the torture, looking like he only has one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu is not much better. For the past few days, the vanguard camp has marched 30 miles every day. The work they do is opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, cutting firewood, digging ditches, carrying water, and building camps.

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

They must be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, getting the most poisonous beatings, and suffering the greatest anger...

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

It can be considered that he deserved it.

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 think of other ways.

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

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

So a person came to his mind: Centurion Li Xiaokun.

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