Yinji turned his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with excitement:
"Mr. Zhou! I know there are risks! I know this could be a trap! But that's my father!"
"He's seriously injured, stranded in the wilderness, likely with only General Xiao and a few others by his side! As a son, how could I abandon my father out of fear of risk?"
"Let's take a step back and say, what if... what if it's true? If I miss the chance to save my father because of suspicion, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life and feel unworthy of being a son!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still trembling:
"Also, General Xiao Cheyun is here too! He is loyal to my father. With him around, my father finally has a little strength by his side."
"I have to go! But if I have to go, I can't do it secretly. That would be exactly what Xiao Lie wants."
"I'm going to make a big show of it! I'm going to let Xiao Lie know that I was forced to go there out of desperation, out of filial piety. Let's see how he responds!"
Mr. Zhou looked at Yinji's determined and painful eyes, and knew that the prince had made up his mind and could no longer be dissuaded.

A resolute glint flashed in Yinji's eyes. "I'll go see him! Hasn't he always wanted to get rid of Zhang Huan, Wang Ben, and other veteran generals loyal to our father, and is also wary of General Li Mao's attitude?"
"I'll give him this opportunity! I ask Zhang Huan, Wang Ben, and General Li Mao to lead their most elite troops and escort me to Hebei to bring back my father!"
"I wonder if Xiao Lie dares to openly reject the reasonable request of a filial son to save his father!"
When Mr. Zhou heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. This was a good strategy to retreat in order to advance and force Xiao Lie to reveal his true form!
He added, "Your Highness needs to act more impulsive and reckless, so that Xiao Lie will think that you are completely confused and not worth worrying about."
"Well, that's natural. Master said my acting skills are worthy of an Oscar!"
"What? What does Oscar Actor mean?"
