No Empty Promises: I'll Take My Soldiers to Demand Our Wages

In his previous life, a heartless boss squeezed Gu Xiao dry with empty promises until he died. When he opens his eyes, he has transmigrated into a chaotic era and become a soldier in a military garrison, the kind most notorious for rebellion throughout history!

From the start, the reborn heroine stands on a raised platform, earnestly spinning him a tale: “General Gu, as long as you defend this isolated city to the death for me, I’ll make you a prince of the highest rank once I become emperor!”

Gu Xiao feels his empty money pouch, and the PTSD from his previous life’s sudden death kicks in on the spot.

“You won’t pay the troops, but you expect me to work myself to death? You dare promise me rewards in the next life?”

“Brothers, what’s the tradition of our soldiers?”

Five thousand heavily armored troops glare with bloodshot eyes: “Kill the commander! Seize the money and supplies!”

That night, the heroine’s residence is stormed and razed. Her entire clan is implicated, and her estate’s wealth fills the military stores before dawn!

From then on, a peerless, bloodthirsty military governor emerges amid the chaos, commanding a hundred thousand heavily armored troops and specializing in killing the so-called chosen ones.

When faced with a son-in-law who styles himself the “Greatest Sword Immortal Under Heaven”?

Gu Xiao sneers. “Three thousand eight-horned heavy crossbows! Level that hill!”

When faced with a transmigrated prince full of “modern ideas”?

Gu Xiao draws his blade. “Making money off nothing? That’s commercial fraud. The whole family gets sliced to death!”

To hell with plot armor! Gu Xiao has only two rules: First, settle the pay and provisions. Second, the truth lies only within the range of a hundred thousand heavily armored troops!
