Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Looking down at the two deeply bowed youths below, the Emperor felt as if he had returned to his own youthful days of high spirits. Perhaps he was getting old; young people should have dreams to strive for and achieve.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Minister Shi, you have truly raised two fine sons for my Tianqi Kingdom! Men! Draft an edict! Appoint Ji Han, the top scholar of the thirteenth year of Tianqi, and Shi Shaoyu, the second-ranked scholar, as the fifth-rank official and the fifth-rank official official respectively, to the Ministry of War. They will depart for the frontier on a chosen date to assist General Yue in defending the country and attacking the enemy!"

"Shi Minghao, a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, has been transferred to the Ministry of Works and appointed as a third-rank official in the Ministry of Works, specifically responsible for supervising various mineral mining matters!"

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"

Three voices rang out at the same time. When Ji Han and his two sons came, they brought a thick book. When they left, they took three imperial edicts that could be passed down through generations. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had already told Shi Minghao that after the ancestral worship ceremony, they would keep their imperial edicts themselves. Shi Minghao also let them have their way.

And so Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu packed their bags again and left Kyoto. The guards who had been with them for years had gained experience, and with the extra training Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had given them, they were now capable of taking on ten men, if not a hundred.

They rode swiftly along the road, and even so, it was a month later when Ji Han and his companions arrived at the frontier. April in the northwest frontier is the season when flowers are in full bloom. As Ji Han and his companions rode past, the azaleas and wolfsbane flowers that they glanced at added some color to the monotonous journey.

The Northwest Army camp received a message from the capital city a week ago via eagle. Generally, only the current emperor can use eagles to deliver messages. When General Yue first heard that the emperor had sent two immature children to take charge, he was very dissatisfied and even suspected that the emperor had lost his mind, otherwise how could he do such an unreliable thing?

Even after he heard detailed reports from the investigators about the two junior officers, although he acknowledged that the two young men might be very talented, he was still dissatisfied because the military camp was not a place to play around. He thought to himself, "Don't you see how many of the best writers in the imperial court were top scholars in the past? But when it came to real combat, none of them were any good!"

General Yue's opinion of Ji Han and his group changed three days before they were to arrive at the military camp. On that day, a letter from the capital finally arrived in General Yue's hands. In it, the Emperor explained in detail the reasons for his actions. Most importantly, a thick map was also sent with the letter.

General Yue fought on the northwestern frontier for many years. He was not entirely certain about the terrain, but he had at least a 70-80% understanding of it. And this 70-80% matched perfectly on the map, which was drawn in even greater detail.

Putting everything else aside, just based on this map, even if Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu weren't good at fighting, General Yue felt he could support these two young men.

Therefore, when Ji Han and his companion arrived, they were not harassed by General Yue. In fact, General Yue treated them very kindly. However, the fact that General Yue did not harass them did not mean that others would not, especially those generals who admired General Yue. After seeing how kind General Yue was to them, they were in a difficult situation.

The next day, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had just gotten up and hadn't even had breakfast when a general surnamed Qiu dragged them to train with the new recruits. To put it bluntly, he wanted to give Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu a hard time.

Ah, this! To be honest, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are not afraid at all. Putting aside their great strength and the fighting techniques they learned in the last world, they have also been taught martial arts by a master since childhood in this world. Even when they travel, they never relax and always spar with the best guards around them.

As a result, after a morning exercise session, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu didn't even break a sweat, let alone the embarrassing scene that General Qiu wanted to see. No way, absolutely not!

At this moment, Lieutenant General Qiu and his men huddled to the side, and the more they looked at the situation, the more uneasy they felt.

"Old Cheng, what's going on here? Are those two kids really that good? Look at those green recruits over there, they're practically panting like oxen, but those two haven't even blushed?"

"Old Qiu, I reckon these two lads might actually have some skill. Look at their punches and kicks, every move is powerful. If you look closely, you can even see the wind from their punches and palms. That's not something a typical newbie can do."

"So tell me, how should we find out what these two guys are capable of?"

"Pshaw! That's easy. In a bit, you can tell the general that we're holding a martial arts tournament today to test the results of our recent training. You can just suggest that those two lads stand on the platform!"

"Heh, you make it sound so easy. Is guarding the arena so fun? Judging from the way the general treated those two lads yesterday, how could he bear to let them guard the arena!"

"Hey, hey, that's not how it works. How will we know if we don't try? What if the general also wants to test their abilities?"

"Well... how about I give it a try?"

"Yes, yes, you go and give it a try. I'll let the brothers go eat first, and also arrange the people who want to initiate the challenge."

Lieutenant General Qiu and Lieutenant General Cheng exchanged a glance and chuckled slyly. When Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu returned after breakfast, they discovered that a martial arts tournament was being held in the military camp that day, and that the two of them had already signed up to defend the arena.

Ji Han/Shi Shaoyu...

However, it's just a competition. The two of them are not afraid of competitions at all. If they really can't keep up, they'll just buy a pill halfway through to replenish their energy. With strength, skill, and endurance, they don't believe they can't win!

In the military, efficiency is paramount. The idea was formed before breakfast, but by the time we returned to the training ground after breakfast, the arena for the martial arts competition was already set up, leaving only the two champions, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, to take the stage.

The two platforms weren't very high, but perhaps to prevent the "aerial acrobats" from interfering with each other during a fight, the distance between the two platforms was quite far. Of course, it wasn't more than a kilometer in between, otherwise, let alone a martial arts contest, the two of them would lose even a literary contest.

The area between the two platforms was crowded with people. After the competition started, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were surrounded by a group of people and rushed onto the platform. After the crowd dispersed, the person left on the platform for Ji Han was a similarly lean man.

"Kid, don't say we soldiers are bullying people. Seeing how skinny you are, the lieutenant general specially sent me here. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, you might not have been able to withstand a single blow. If something bad happened to you, it wouldn't be good if the emperor blamed our general!"
