Chapter Eighty-Six: If I Become Emperor One Day
know if you have any other text you'd like translated!Make way in the middle, everyone. Let's all gather around like stars surrounding the moon and seat Xiaonan.“ Lately, I haven't heard you mention...“Young Master, please get up quickly. It’s our turn to patrol.”
"Where am I"
Qin Hu woke up groggily, feeling a chill run through him. Outside, the wind howled fiercely. He felt a strange sense of unease in his heart.
"My lord, how could you be so dazed We're in the army camp. It's our turn to keep watch at this hour. If we don't get up, military law will deal with us. Even Old Marquis won't be able to protect you now."
"What"
Qin Hu opened his eyes and saw that he was in a tent. In front of him was a soldier wearing leather armor.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, a sudden splitting headache struck him. A massive torrent of information surged into his brain, and after a few seconds, he knew he had transmigrated.
He, a modern special forces soldier, crossed over to become Qin Hu, a young marquis. He is the leader of the capital's seven notorious young hooligans!
...this so-called Da Yu Dynasty era simply didn't exist in historical records.
Qin Hu's ancestor was one of the Four Great Dukes and Twenty-Eight Marquises who founded the Da Yu state. Three months ago, his father passed away, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.
Qin Hu was spoiled rotten by his parents since he was a child. He hated studying and martial arts, only playing around, eating, drinking, and having fun, running amok in the capital city.
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 Lord Chen, named Chen Ruoli. She was a noble lady, beautiful and intelligent.
This Qin Hu was ferocious and cruel to everyone else, but he was exceptionally obedient and treated his beautiful fiancée like a precious treasure.
But ironically, the person who caused this was Chen, the childhood sweetheart.
According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he brought his fiancee into the palace to pay homage to the current Chang'an princess. The princess and Chen Ruoli had been close since childhood, so she arranged a banquet.
Later, Qin Hu got drunk and blacked out. When he woke up, he was already in the Nei Wei's prison. He was told that he had drunkenly harassed the princess with the intention of doing something improper.
What's even more bizarre is that Chen Ruoli actually submitted a letter to impeach her fiancé Qin Hu on seventy-two counts of wrongdoing. Each accusation was backed up by solid evidence.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Hu was stunned, as if struck by five thunderbolts. He simply couldn't believe what he was hearing...
The imperial decree arrived swiftly. Taking into account Qin Hu's past merits, his death sentence was commuted, but he could not escape a living punishment. He was banished to Youzhou, where he would serve in the military and retain his rank, while his future conduct would be observed.
But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line - listening to the vanguard's account.
After Qin Hu went through these things in his mind, he basically figured it out. This should be a trap.
Because Lord Chen had long wanted to break off the engagement.
>
The Qin and Chen families were originally politically allied, both aiming for power and expansion. However, the later Qin Hu was a wastrel, good for nothing, and nearly brought shame upon the Champion Marquis's mansion.
It should be known that throughout history, all the champions before him were heroes with unparalleled influence in the army. But this generation produced a complete waste who had never even seen a battlefield.
When the old marquis was alive, Marquis Chen still gave him face. After the old marquis died, Marquis Chen turned his back on him and even staged a scene of breaking off the engagement at the funeral hall.
But Qin Hu loved Chen Ruoli deeply and refused to agree. As for Chen Ruoli, she already loathed this villainous young master.
And so, disaster struck!
As for Princess Chang'an, it's even simpler. She is the cousin of Qin Hu, Qin Hu's elder brother. As soon as Qin Hu dies, all the wealth of the Champion Marquis's Mansion will naturally fall to his elder brother.
These several factions, each taking what they needed, colluded with each other, and thus quickly united...
As expected, entering the Hou family is like plunging into a deep sea. There are truly many people who want him dead.
"Qin An, do you think we should find a place sheltered from the wind"
Under the bright moonlight, the rough north wind whistled sharply, sweeping across the vast prairie. It blew the few torches on and off, like countless daggers cutting through people's skin.
“No, young master, you'll be punished by military law.”
Qin Hu and Qin An huddled together, braving the wind as they ran out of the camp, their feet sinking into the heavy snow.
The frail Qin An was caught off guard and blown over by a strong wind.
Two guards on relief saw them come out, exchanged knowing smiles with each other, snuffed out two burning snow shovels used for warming the fire, and then crawled into their tent.
Damn it, even the soldiers have been bought off, trying to freeze me to death!
This is a very small camp, with about twenty tents. It's surrounded by wagons, and there isn't even a simple palisade around the perimeter. The surrounding area is flat and defenseless; at a glance, it's clear they don't intend to stay long.
According to Qin Hu's memories from his past life, there were about two hundred soldiers stationed here. They were the vanguard of General Li Qin, who was the general in charge of the northern expedition for the Yu Dynasty.
This time, Li Qin's army of 20,000 aimed at Liaodong Kingdom, the sworn enemy of the Yu Dynasty on the border.
"Cough, cough, Young Master, do you think we can still live to go back" Qin An curled up entirely on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and he spoke with no strength, as if he would die at any moment.
Qin Hu sighed inwardly, Qin An was implicated because of him. And if things continued like this, both of them were bound to die.
Those who wanted him dead failed to kill him in the court, so they conspired against him in the army camp, attempting to assassinate him.

Yet Qin Hu was certainly not someone who would sit idly by and wait for his fate. This was clearly a case of being framed, and he couldn't just give up.
Life is nothing but endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I'm not only going to live, I'll return to the capital and settle the score with you all.
"Qin An, how many silver notes did we bring when we left home"
“I have no silver notes, I only have twenty ounces of silver. The imperial edict stated that as we were being sent to the military frontier, our assets were confiscated.”
Qin An is only 16 years old this year and he is Qin Hu's personal book boy. He is very thin and has already been tortured beyond endurance. He looks like he is about to die.
In fact, Qin Hu wasn't much better either. These days, the Vanguard Camp marched 30 miles every day. Their work was to clear paths through mountains and build bridges over water, chop wood for fire, dig ditches and draw water, and set up camp.
And what would it be like for these two delicate little guys to spend every day with hundreds of burly louts
It's definitely the hardest work, the worst food, the most brutal beatings, and the greatest injustices...
Qin Hu estimated that his previous life might have been tortured to death.
I guess he got what he deserved.
This pain, he just has to bear it now. If he can't bear it, he will die too.
"Give me."
Qin Hu thought it over. He had to find a way to save Qin An's life first, and then figure out other solutions.
But staying alive isn't actually that difficult. The simplest way is bribery. As the saying goes, "money talks," and while this method might be primitive, it always works.
But now, he can't bribe officials because no one dares to get involved with him. Besides, he has no money.
So his mind went to one person, Captain Li Xiaokun.ing into the vaguely luminous barrier without any flourish.Silent and still, for most of the power is borne by the great formation.Yet, a small opening appeared in the grand array of light.That tiny o...
