Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 439 You Won't Even Call Me Father
“Where am I?”
Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill on his body and a strong wind howling outside, which immediately made him feel strange.
“Oh, Little Marquis, why are you so confused? We are in the military camp. It's our turn to stand guard at this hour. 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 in leather armor.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck, and a huge stream of information rushed into his mind. After a few seconds, he realized that he had transmigrated.
He had transmigrated from a modern special forces soldier into a Little Marquis also named Qin Hu, the leader of the seven young villains in the capital!
And this era called the Da Yu Dynasty simply did not exist in history.
Qin Hu's ancestors were one of the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Da Yu Dynasty. Three months ago, his father died of 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. He didn't like to study, didn't like to practice martial arts, only knew how to play, eat, drink, and make merry, and ran rampant 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 lady, beautiful and intelligent.
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 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 close 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, intending to do something improper.
What was even more bizarre was that Chen Ruoli actually wrote a memorial impeaching her fiancé Qin Hu for seventy-two illegal acts, each with evidence.
Qin Hu was stunned, unable to believe his ears...
The imperial decree came down quickly. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, 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 see how he would perform.
But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line—to be used in front of the vanguard camp.
After these things flashed 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, but the later Qin Hu, apart from being a纨绔 (wán kù, playboy), was almost useless. It could be said that he had completely disgraced the Champion Marquis's mansion.
It should be known that the Champion Marquises of past generations were all heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the army, but in this generation, there was a useless person who had never even 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 disgusted with this villain.
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 property 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 thus quickly united...
As expected, entering the Marquis's mansion is like entering the deep sea; there are really many people who want him dead.
“Qin An, do you think we can find a place to take shelter from the wind?”
Under the bright moonlight, the rough north wind carried a piercing whistle, swept across the empty wilderness, making the torches flicker, and even cutting people's skin like countless flying knives.
“It won't work, Little Marquis, we'll be punished according to military law.”
Qin Hu and Qin An shrank their heads and shoulders against the wind, ran out of the camp, and ran forward, stepping on the thick snow.
The thin Qin An was accidentally overturned by the wind.
Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them come out, smiled at each other, scooped up two handfuls of snow and put out the bonfire for warmth, and then crawled into the tent.
Damn, even the soldiers have been bribed. They want to freeze me to death!
This is a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages, and no chevaux-de-frise or antlers arranged on the outside. The surrounding terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend. It is obvious that they do not plan to station here 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 Zhengbei (征北) 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, Little Marquis, do you think we can go back alive?” Qin An curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and he spoke weakly, as if he would die at any moment.
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 dead didn't kill him in the court, so they used dark methods and beat him with clubs in the military camp, trying to kill him.
But Qin Hu was definitely not a person who would sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a framed matter, and he couldn't let it go.
Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only survive, 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 left?”
“There are no silver notes. 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. He is very thin and has long been unbearable. He looks like he has only one breath left.
In fact, Qin Hu is not much better. In the past few days, the vanguard camp has marched 30 li every day, and the work they do is to open roads in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, chop firewood, make fires, dig ditches, carry water, and build camps.
And what will happen when these two fair-skinned and tender guys are with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?
They must be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, being beaten the most severely, and suffering the most anger...
Qin Hu estimates that his predecessor may have been tortured to death.
It can be regarded as his deserving it.
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 actually not difficult. The simplest method is bribery. As the saying goes, money can communicate with the gods. Although this method is primitive, it will always work.
But in this situation, he cannot bribe high officials, because no one dares to get involved with him. Besides, he has no money.
So he thought of one person in his mind, Centurion Li Xiaokun.
That is, the current leader of the vanguard camp. To read the latest chapter content, please download Haoyue Novel, and read the latest chapter content for free without ads. The website is no longer updating the latest chapter content, and the latest chapter content has been updated in Haoyue Novel.
