Chapter 784 Even Female Generals Have Moments of Emotion
The next morning, shortly after sunrise, golden rays streamed through the window into the room, bathing it in a soft glow. At that moment, Lin Ping lay quietly in Zhao Yong's warm embrace, sleeping peacefully like a docile kitten.
After a while, Zhao Yong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze first falling on Lin Ping, who was fast asleep beside him. She had her eyes closed, her breathing steady, and a faint smile played on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream. Looking at her beautiful face, Zhao Yong felt a surge of happiness and contentment.
He carefully reached out and gently stroked Lin Ping's silky smooth cheek, the touch of his fingers sending a blissful sensation through her. Sensing Zhao Yong's actions, Lin Ping seemed to notice and slowly began to wake up. She blinked, finally opening her eyes fully. When her gaze met Zhao Yong's, she was instantly overwhelmed by the deep affection in his eyes, and blushed crimson, as alluring and adorable as a ripe apple.
Just then, Zhao Yong murmured softly, "Ping'er, you're so beautiful..." His voice was deep and magnetic, like heavenly music reaching Lin Ping's ears. Hearing this, Lin Ping blushed even more, but still managed to remain calm as she replied, "Yes, you are too, Brother Yong..." Before she finished speaking, the two exchanged a knowing smile, then embraced each other tightly, savoring this rare and tender moment.
Although Lin Ping was falsely accused of having a relationship with the deputy general by One-Eyed Dragon and his gang, Zhao Yong had recently shown her affection and tenderness, which she enjoyed and didn't find objectionable. After all, she was at the age of budding romance, her mind pure and without many reservations.

Among the many prefectural generals, a considerable number were representatives of various powerful and influential families. Behind these individuals lay a vast and complex network of interpersonal relationships, their family influence intricately intertwined. Faced with such a complex situation, Lin Ping was acutely aware that relying solely on force to suppress the prefectural troops under her command would never be enough to build a core team of her own. Instead, only through careful consideration and meticulous selection of generals—those unburdened by family ties, possessing a strong sense of justice and deep loyalty—could she truly forge an elite army utterly devoted to her.
She knew all too well that in an environment rife with intrigue and fierce struggle, without a loyal following to support her, it would be difficult to maintain her foothold and uphold her advantage in the ever-changing situation. At this moment, Zhao Yong, the man who had always been so caring and attentive to her needs, was very likely to become a crucial figure in helping her achieve this grand goal. Therefore, Lin Ping decisively decided to seize this rare opportunity, actively cultivating a closer relationship with Zhao Yong and his associates, striving to create a harmonious atmosphere, thus paving a smooth road for her future development.
