"Governor Lin, the Grand Commander has instructed us to escort Li Hu to Xijing according to the alliance. You are returning to Huazhou, so the escort mission is entrusted to you," Yin Ji added.
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Feng bowed and accepted the order.
"That concludes today's court discussion!"
After Yinji made the announcement, everyone dispersed, and Yinji was about to leave as well, but Yinzhao called him back:
"Ji, are you free today? Would you like to keep your uncle company?"
Yinji paused.
Yin Zhao did not address him as "I" but instead addressed him as "uncle and nephew," which surprised Yin Ji.
After the catastrophe that struck the capital last year, the Yin family was captured and taken to the Northern Barbarians along with thousands of other members of the royal family, whose fates remained unknown.
When they went to Beijing with Li Jingang, their Yin family suffered another raid.
Of the known members of the Yin family who are still alive today, it is probably only the siblings Yin Ji and Yin Yao, who are their uncle.
"Yes, Uncle, please!"

Yinji alone cannot handle this situation.
"Heh, you're not being honest!" Yin Zhao smiled faintly. "Uncle knows he is a sinner of the Yin family, ashamed before our ancestors and the late Emperor!"
"If you and Zhao Muyun can regain the throne of Dayin in the future, I will be satisfied."
Yinji still said, "Uncle, my master and I are determined to drive out the Tartars and also drive Li Jingang away. This is our grand ambition!"
"As for who will be emperor, let's wait until the Tartars retreat before discussing that!"
"If there is nothing else, then I shall take my leave."
Before Yin Zhao could speak, Yin Ji turned and left without looking back, leaving Yin Zhao looking bewildered.
