The year 7983 in the continental calendar.

Early in the morning, the Great Qin Empire, the imperial city of Fengdu, and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Lao He, has the latest news from the front line arrived?" Li Siyuan took a sip of hot tea and tightened his fur collar, although it was already spring, the temperature in the early morning of early spring was still very low.

"Prime Minister, looking at the current time, the latest news from the front line should be coming soon", the old man in black clothes and black pants in the corner replied in a low brow and in a low voice, "It stands to reason that it should have entered the imperial city now, and it should be sent to the military department first, and it will be sent after the military department has filed it." ”

"Well, I know the procedure", Li Sicheng nodded lightly, got up and walked to a map, "But this matter is of great significance, so how can I not be in a hurry." ”

The map in front of him covered a whole wall, and if you look closely, it is the territory of the entire Great Qin Empire, and it is also the most detailed and accurate map of Great Qin that cannot be bought on the entire market, the military map of Great Qin.

In the upper left corner of the entire map, an area circled in red is the place where the Great Qin Empire rebelled now.

Li Sicheng squinted at the area, his left hand clenched his fist tightly, and snorted softly, "When it was winter last year, there was a rebellion in Jiangdao County. And now that spring has begun, seven months have passed, and His Majesty has to ask every morning when he arrives, do you think I'm in a hurry?"

Lao He leaned over, "Judging from the news in the last month, the area of the rebels is shrinking. The day before yesterday it was reported that General Bai had surrounded the rebels in Jiangdao County, and perhaps this counterinsurgency was coming to an end. ”

"That's right, it's almost over", Li Siyuan smiled easily, and then sighed, "Don't say it, Bai Zixiang is really a general, but he can't be entrusted with a heavy task, it's a pity." ”

Lao He frowned, and after thinking for a while, he still spoke, "The old slave thinks that this matter may not be. ”

Li Siyuan immediately turned around, looked at Lao He's lowered face carefully, and curled his eyebrows with interest, "Let's hear it"

"Ahem", Lao He hesitated, "Although General Bai is the son-in-law of the prime minister, he is still the son-in-law of the prime minister, which shows that he is still a member of the prime minister's mansion." Now that this identity has been determined, I believe that if General Bai can really make contributions in the future, it will still be a great merit of our Prime Minister's Mansion, and the empire will count this merit on the head of our Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Li Siyuan sighed lightly, "What you said is also reasonable, I will think about this matter carefully, anyway, there will be time." By the way, isn't today the day of the year to test soul attributes?"

"Yes, my lord," replied Lao He, "and I have heard that General Bai's three children will also take part in the test this year. ”

"Three people together?" Li Siyuan asked curiously, "I have met those three children from afar before, and they don't seem to be the same age, why do they participate together?"

"That's right, the eldest son Bai Qi got a strange illness four years ago, and his body has been in a state of recovery since he recovered, so he participated this year. ”

"When the second son, Bai Qianye, was testing last year, he happened to follow General Bai in the barracks to prepare for counterinsurgency, so he was delayed, and I heard that he only came back from the front line a month ago. ”

"The young girl Bai Yuting is just six years old this year and was able to take the soul test. ”

"Hmm", Li Siyuan nodded, "In this case, if there is anything special about the three of them, you must remember to report, Bai Zixiang is smart, I don't think his two sons are simple people, and I always feel that he is hiding something." ”

"After all, these three children were adopted by him every time he went out, and I don't believe that he would adopt one when he met an orphan, which must be strange. ”

Lao He nodded, "I'll keep an eye on this matter." But even if there is anything quirky, I believe it will not hurt at least. ”

"Who knows", Li Siyuan shook his head, "Also, after today's test, let the military department select those good seedlings and cultivate them in a unified manner, and don't distinguish between nobles and commoners." Three hundred years have passed, and the nobles of the empire should also be replaced. ”

Lao He also tightened his neckline, and the chill revealed from the mouth of the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire was even more piercing than the early morning of early spring.

The suburbs of Fengdu, Fengcheng.

"Miss, the time is coming soon, should we take a look", Chun Xing secretly glanced at the woman who was doing the female red by the window, "After all, in addition to my uncle's three children today, we also have the eldest young master in the big room, the children of the second young master and the third young master will participate, and those children in other rooms will also be tested together." ”

Li Yuanyuan stopped the female red in her hand and glanced at Chunxing, "You are a dead girl, you have been secretly taking care of those three children in the past few years, you think I don't know, right?"

"Even if the three of them are not my own children, they are also the children of my husband, and they always have to call me mother, will I treat them badly?"

"No Miss, I didn't mean that", Chun Xing quickly knelt down, lowered her head and whispered, "The slave said the wrong thing, I know it's wrong." ”

"Get up", Li Yuanyuan got up, "Change my clothes, let's go to the test site now." ”

Fengcheng Soul Attribute Test Ground.

A young man in white sat cross-legged, his slender shoulder-length black hair moving slowly with the breeze. The fair face without any expression, the eyes are slightly closed, and the beautiful appearance has a sense of arrogance that rejects people thousands of miles away, attracting the attention of many elders.

"That's Bai Zixiang's second son?"

"That's right, it's him, called Bai Qianye. But you must remember that he is not only Bai Zixiang's second son, but also the second son of the fourth lady of the Li family. ”

"Hmph, it's just the adopted son of an aunt. ”

"You don't know this again, I heard that General Bai has won a great victory on the front line of counterinsurgency, and he is about to come back, and I heard that His Majesty is very happy, this kind of thing that a son is valued by his father is not uncommon in ancient and modern times. ”

"Who knows? Even if the son is more expensive than the father, it depends on the results of this soul attribute test. If you're a mediocre person, hum ......"

Although these people's whispers were very careful and whispered, in Bai Qianye's opinion, there was no difference between talking in his ear.

At this time, a boy in black clothes and black pants came to Bai Qianye's side, stretched out his right hand and pressed his shoulder, "Second brother, don't take these things to heart, don't be distracted, do a good job of today's attribute testing." ”

Bai Qianye opened his eyes and looked at the boy in black in front of him, especially at the pale face of the boy in black.
