After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Qingyang's family moved back to the government housing estate, Han Fei and his wife also started school, and Jinyun Villa became quiet again.

"Aunt, my mother told me I'm a big boy now and will let me sleep by myself from now on!"

Children will grow up one day. Yang Baiyi did not refuse Lele's request, but arranged him to live in the room next to his.

"You really care about Lele. You looked at him several times that night. I believe that when our child is born, you will be an especially good father."

Lin Wanru was not sleeping soundly, and she knew every time Yang Baiyi got up and went to the next room.

"That's right. When our child is born, I will love him well. I don't ask him to achieve great things, just to be healthy and have good character."

Yang Baiyi lay beside Lin Wanru, gently stroking her bulging belly with his hand, looking forward to the arrival of the child.

Lin Wanru became pregnant during the middle of summer last year. Counting by the date, it was exactly six months. Her first child was going to be born in May this year.

If Yang Baiyi used his wood-related abilities, he could easily know whether his first child was a boy or a girl, but Yang Baiyi did not do so.

This is his first child and the continuation of his bloodline. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, Yang Baiyi likes it equally.

The comfortable days did not last long. Just after the first month of the year, a sudden change caused great indignation among the people of the Celestial Empire and also broke Yang Baiyi's peaceful life.

The Blue Star Dynasty has always been a super dynasty with an extremely brilliant and glorious history and many vassal states around it.

The Celestial Empire has demonstrated the demeanor of a great power and has always taken good care of its vassal states.

He has always worked hard and made great contributions for the development of his vassal states.

Send knowledgeable scholars to civilize them, allocate craftsmen to help vassal states strengthen their construction, and send soldiers to help them maintain peace.

The relationship has always been good in the past, and we can be considered friendly neighbors.

No one knew what was wrong with Annan, but they suddenly attacked the southern border of the Celestial Empire. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the border guards, they attacked them by surprise, and overnight they advanced over a hundred miles into the southern border, occupying several hilltops.

When the news came out, the whole world was shocked. No one knew where the little Annan got the courage from.

"We are completely unaware of the military actions taken by Annan, the Celestial Empire. They have nothing to do with us."

"The Emerald Kingdom strongly condemns Annan's unauthorized provocation of disputes and is determined to draw a clear line between itself and Annan."

"The Poppy Country firmly stands with the Celestial Empire. At the command of the Celestial Empire, the Poppy Country immediately dispatched troops to Annan."

…

There are many small countries to the south of the Celestial Empire. Annan's sudden move scared several neighboring countries. They were afraid that the Celestial Empire would vent its anger on them, so they quickly expressed their stance.

"Eating the food of the Celestial Empire and then destroying its own bowl, there is no such thing as this in the world."

"Last year, Annan was hit by a disaster, and we just provided 10,000 tons of rice. I didn't expect them to point their guns at our country."

"Little Annan is rebelling against Tiangang. Where do they get the courage to go to war with the Celestial Empire?"

The heads of several top wealthy families were furious, and they didn't know how many priceless exquisite porcelains were smashed.

"The Azure Dragon Legion invites you to fight! Within a month, we will surely sweep away Annan!"

"The White Tiger Legion requests a fight! Within a month, we will wipe Annan off the map!"

"The Xuanwu Legion requests a fight! Within a month, we will recapture Annan and rebuild the Annan Protectorate!"

"The Suzaku Legion requests a fight! Annan is despicable and shameless. Such a lowly and despicable people should not exist in this world. Within a month, Annan will be reduced to a scorched earth!"

The four major legions requested to fight at the same time, sharpening their swords. As long as the top gave the order, the war would be imminent.

Beijing, still that conference room.

"Everyone, tell me, how should we fight this battle? To what extent should we fight it?"

Beneath the king's calm words, there was an extremely strong anger. The first sentence set the tone. Fighting was definitely necessary, and as for the extent of the fight, everyone would discuss it.

"The Celestial Empire has been keeping a low profile for too long, so long that even a tiny country wants to test its firepower.

I suggest destroying the country directly, so that the other vassal states in the south will learn a lesson and not imitate Annan's petty tricks."

"I second the motion! If China doesn't demonstrate drastic measures this time, other countries will inevitably follow suit."

"I second the proposal! We can just fight them once and destroy them right away to save trouble later."

"I second that!"

…

In the conference room, most people supported the direct destruction of Annan.

"Annan may be small, but it is a country after all. If we just destroy it like this, wouldn't the impact be too great?"

Internationally, there are currently three major players, forming a three-legged race.

If the Celestial Empire behaves too domineeringly, the other two hegemons will likely take the opportunity to attack.

"Master Sun, I'm afraid you've forgotten that we have a secret weapon.

It would be fine if they kept quiet, but if they dared to interfere, we might have to ask Director Yang to come out.”

Raising his hand to suppress the orcs and burning the sacred toilet, Yang Baiyi's presence gave the top leaders of the Celestial Empire endless confidence.

"Then fuck him!"

As several top wealthy families reached a consensus, the Suzaku Legion stationed in southern Xinjiang quickly assembled and actively prepared for war.

"Wanru, I'm going on a long trip, which may take a week. I'll ask grandma to come and take care of you for the next few days."

Facing his pregnant wife, Yang Baiyi said with some difficulty.

He also wanted to be with his wife all the time, but he had more important things to do.

Although Annan is small, its terrain is extremely complex. It is full of deep mountains and old forests. Mosquitoes, snakes and ants can be seen everywhere. There is also miasma, which kills people invisibly.

The soldiers of the Celestial Empire are all brave men and should not be killed in a small country like Annan.

He wanted to clear as many obstacles as possible for them before the main force entered Annan.

"Okay, the kids and I will be waiting for you at home, just focus on your important work."

Lin Wanru was very reasonable and didn't say anything unnecessary, nor did she throw a tantrum.

When they arrived at the agency's family compound, Yang Baiyi explained his purpose, and Xiao Qingyang's family naturally agreed.

"Grandson, please be careful and think more about Wanru and your unborn child before you do anything."

Every time before Yang Baiyi goes out, Mu Xue is always the one who worries the most.

"Grandma, don't worry. Annan is not dangerous to me. I will be back in a week at most. If everything goes well, it will only take three to five days."

Xiao Qingyang and his family moved to Jinyun Villa that same day. Yang Baiyi took advantage of the night and walked into the darkness.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, in an open area, Yang Baiyi took out from the space a high-tech product from Earth in his previous life, the Snapdragon 1 manned spacecraft.

The journey to Annan is long and the situation is urgent. The war on the front line is about to break out, and Yang Baiyi has no time to delay on the road.
