Chapter 304 Silt at the Bottom of the Hold
He seemed to be completely unaware of his condition, and... his thinking seemed to be a little off.
He didn't…
"Young Marquis, please get up quickly. It's our turn to patrol."
"Where am I?"
Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill on his body and a strong wind blowing outside. He felt a strange sense of bewilderment.
"Oh, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We're in the military camp. It's our shift to stand guard. If we don't get up, we'll be punished according to 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 was about to open his mouth 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 also named Qin Hu, the leader of the seven notorious 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 died of illness, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.
Qin Hu was spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He didn't like reading or practicing martial arts, but only loved 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 for him. The bride 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 his beautiful fiancée, treating her like a treasure.
But the problem happened to be 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 had been good 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 molested the princess while drunk, with the intention of doing something wrong.
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 felt as if he had been struck by lightning at the time and could hardly believe his ears...
The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, the death penalty was waived, but the living penalty could not be avoided. 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 in front of the vanguard camp.
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 political marriages. Both families wanted to become stronger and bigger, but the later Qin Hu, apart from being a playboy, was almost useless. It could be said that he had lost all the face of the Champion Marquis Mansion.
It should be known that the Champion Marquises of the past were all heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the army, 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 ruthless and staged a scene of breaking off the engagement at the mourning hall.
But Qin Hu deeply loved Chen Ruoli and refused to agree, while Chen Ruoli had long been very disgusted with this evil 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 huge family property of the Champion Marquis 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 a noble family's gate is like entering the deep sea. There are really too many people who want him to die.
"Qin An, do you think we can find a place to find shelter from the wind?"
Under the bright moonlight, the violent north wind, carrying an ear-piercing whistle, swept across the empty field, blowing the torches flickering, and cutting people's skin like countless flying knives.
"It's not possible, Young Marquis, we'll be punished according to military law."
Qin Hu and Qin An shrank their heads and braved the wind, running out of the camp and stepping on the heavy snow.
The weak Qin An was accidentally overturned by the strong wind.
Two sentries on shift change saw them come out, smiled at each other sinisterly, scooped up two handfuls of snow and extinguished the bonfire for warmth, and then crawled into the tent.
Damn it, even the soldiers have been bought off. They want to freeze me to death!
This is a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages, and the outer perimeter does not even have barricades or deer antlers arranged. The surrounding area is flat and there is no natural defense. It can be seen that they do not plan to stay for a long time.
According to Qin Hu's memory from his previous life, there were about two hundred people 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 troops 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 his speech was weak, as if he could 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, the two of them would definitely die.
Those who wanted him to die didn't kill him in the court, so they used dark methods in the military camp to kill him.
But Qin Hu would never sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a trap, 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 the score with you.
"Qin An, how many silver notes did we bring when we left?"
"There are no silver notes anymore. 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 is only 16 years old this year. He is Qin Hu's personal servant, very thin, and has long been unbearable. He looks like he has only one breath left.
In fact, Qin Hu is not much better. These days, the vanguard camp marches 30 *li* every day, and the work they do is to open roads when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, chop wood and burn fire, dig ditches and carry water, and build camps.
And what will happen to these two delicate guys who are with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?
They must be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, getting the most beatings, and suffering the most...
Qin Hu estimates that his predecessor may have been tortured to death.
It can also be regarded as his due punishment.
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.
And to save his life is not difficult. The easiest way is to bribe. As the saying goes, money can make gods move. Although this method is primitive, it is always effective.
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. To read the latest chapter content, please download the Haoyue Novel app to read the latest chapter content for free without ads.
