Your Majesty, the Good-for-Nothing You Exiled to the Frontier Has Become Emperor! - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: The Young Marquis
Great Qian Empire.
Eastern Street of the Royal Capital.
The thunder of hooves rolled down the long street as dozens of vicious-looking cavalrymen galloped forward at full speed.
“Make way!”
“Make way!”
A burly rider with a face full of flesh barked harshly, and the bustling crowd quickly parted to clear a path.
“They’re from the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Residence!”
“Where is Marquis Cao rushing off to in such a hurry?”
“Look at the killing intent on Marquis Cao’s face. Could it be that war has broken out again at the Frontier?”
…
As the murderous cavalry galloped past, the common people’s faces were filled with shock and doubt. They gathered in small groups, whispering among themselves.
Zhenbei Marquis Cao Zhen was one of the ten great military marquises of the Great Qian Empire, his name shaking the Frontier.
Now, seeing him riding through the street with dozens of household soldiers, the people naturally assumed that war had erupted.
“Hey! You’re all wrong!”
A well-informed scholar spoke up, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
“It’s not the Frontier. It’s that little demon from Marquis Cao’s family, Cao Feng, who has caused trouble again. Marquis Cao is rushing to clean up the mess.”
Someone shook his head and sighed.
“Sigh.”
“Marquis Cao was wise and heroic his entire life. How did he end up with such a useless good-for-nothing for a son?”
“Misfortune for the family.”
“Isn’t that the truth?”
At the mention of the Young Marquis, Cao Feng, everyone shook their heads.
Clearly, his reputation was terrible.
The scholar said gleefully, “Heh, this time the Young Marquis Cao Feng has caused a catastrophe of heaven-shaking proportions!”
Everyone pricked up their ears and stared at him.
“What kind of catastrophe?”
“He set fire to the Esteemed Scholars Pavilion and beat up the Sixth Prince!”
As soon as those words fell, the street went silent.
The people’s expressions shifted from confusion to pure shock.
Someone sucked in a sharp breath.
The Esteemed Scholars Pavilion was the sacred gathering place of scholars in the Royal Capital. Even high-ranking court officials were frequent guests there.
As for the Sixth Prince, he was one of Your Majesty’s favored sons.
What kind of reckless courage had Cao Feng eaten to dare burn the Esteemed Scholars Pavilion and beat the Sixth Prince?
This could mean extermination of nine generations!
“Did the Cao family bury their ancestors in the wrong place?”
“It’s over. It’s over.”
“The Cao family is in grave danger this time.”
Some worried for the Cao family.
“This will be interesting!”
“Let’s go watch!”
A few small vendors immediately packed up their stalls, eager for the spectacle.
“Let’s go together!”
Watching excitement was human nature, no matter the era.
In an instant, merchants, vendors, and passersby on Eastern Street called out to friends and surged toward the direction Marquis Cao Zhen had gone.
Moments later, Marquis Cao Zhen and dozens of household soldiers had surrounded Drunken Fragrance Tower, which exuded the scent of rouge and perfume.
With a dark face, Cao Zhen dismounted, lifted a large saber, and stormed inside.
Seeing him enter, Madam Xiang, the madam of Drunken Fragrance Tower, changed expression slightly.
She shot a glance at one of the girls before rising to greet him.
“Oh my! Old Marquis! You haven’t visited in so long. I thought you had forgotten me…”
As she spoke in a coy tone, her soft, fragrant body pressed against Marquis Cao Zhen.
She slipped her arm through his and said sweetly, “Old Marquis, who dared to anger you so? Why not come upstairs? I’ll help you cool your temper…”
“Get lost!”
Cao Zhen roared, startling Madam Xiang into losing her color.
The guests nearby were so frightened they did not dare make a sound.
Cao Zhen shoved her aside violently and swept the room with his tiger-like eyes.
“Cao Feng, you unfilial beast! Get out here and face your death! Today I will cleanse the family!”
His furious roar echoed through the building.
On the second floor, a young servant in blue staggered in fright. He hurriedly scrambled into a room.
“Young Marquis! Young Marquis! Something terrible has happened! Master has come with a saber!”
His shout woke the two people sleeping on the bed.
Hmm?
Cao Feng heard the shouting and groggily opened his eyes.
What he saw was a stretch of snow-white skin.
Sharp intake of breath.
So big.
So white.
Damn.
Am I dreaming?
He reached out and grabbed. Soft and warm.
Damn.
It feels real.
“You’re so naughty, Young Marquis…”
A lazy voice sounded as a young woman slid like a loach under the warm blanket.
“Young Marquis! Young Marquis!”
“Run! Master is coming upstairs with a saber!”
The blue-clothed servant grabbed Cao Feng, trying to pull him away.
Cao Feng shook him off.
“Who the hell are you? I finally get a good dream, and you ruin it! I’ll kick you to death!”
He kicked the servant, sending him sprawling onto the floor.
The servant was on the verge of tears.
“Young Marquis, it’s me! I’m Xishun! You must run! If Master catches you, you’ll be beaten half to death!”
Cao Feng suddenly realized something was wrong.
Damn.
This doesn’t feel like a dream.
A sharp pain burst through his head as countless memories flooded in.
Shock filled his face.
Damn.
I transmigrated?
Heaven has treated this college student well. I actually transmigrated into a marquis family.
Heaven, I’ll definitely kowtow to you later.
“Unfilial beast!”
A furious shout shattered his beautiful fantasy.
Cao Feng looked toward the door. An enraged old general stood there, saber in hand, glaring at him.
“My Cao family is cursed to have produced a beast like you! Today I will cut you down and cleanse the family!”
Zhenbei Marquis Cao Zhen roared and charged at the still half-dressed Cao Feng.
Faced with the overwhelming killing intent, a chill ran down Cao Feng’s spine.
Damn?
He’s really going to kill me?
“Young Marquis, run!”
Xishun rushed forward and hugged Cao Zhen’s leg.
“Get lost!”
Cao Zhen kicked him away. Xishun flew backward.
Crash!
He slammed into a table, shattering it.
Damn!
He’s serious!
Seeing the murderous aura radiating from Cao Zhen, Cao Feng was terrified.
This feels like a mortal enemy breaking in.
Wait.
Isn’t that my father?
Why is he trying to kill me?
Even a tiger won’t eat its own cub!
Whoosh!
The saber whistled down toward him.
Cao Feng cursed inwardly and leapt off the bed, clothes disheveled.
He dodged the blade and rushed toward the door.
But armored household soldiers blocked the exit.
“Unfilial beast, where are you going! Today I will chop you to death!”
Cao Zhen chased after him, swinging the saber wildly and hacking the room into chaos. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere.
Damn it!
I just transmigrated into a marquis family and was about to enjoy life!
Who knew I’d get stuck with such a violent father?
If I get hacked to death right after transmigrating, it’ll be a joke!
Cao Feng dodged frantically around the room, his mind racing.
Soon he understood why his father was so furious.
Damn.
This original body was truly outrageous.
Setting fire to the Esteemed Scholars Pavilion and beating the Sixth Prince.
No wonder his father was enraged.
Anyone with a functioning brain wouldn’t do something that could exterminate nine generations!
What an idiot.
Wouldn’t it be better to enjoy life as the Young Marquis?
Why court death?
But now lives were at stake.
There was no time to think.
As Cao Zhen was about to catch up to him, Cao Feng suddenly stopped running.
He turned and dropped to his knees with a thud.
A wise man does not fight a losing battle.
If he didn’t lower his head now, this furious father would truly cut him down.
“Father! I know I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Cao Feng knelt and begged.
Zhenbei Marquis Cao Zhen froze, saber raised high.
What is this unfilial beast doing?
Kneeling to me?
Is he trying another trick?
Something’s off.
Something’s definitely off!
This brat must be plotting something again!
No matter what, this time he must not let him get away with it!
