Chapter 373 Secretly Recruiting New Members
As the imperial court's pressure on Ye Wan's team eased slightly, Ye Wan knew this brief "peace" was merely a temporary respite. While relations with the court appeared to be stabilizing on the surface, she knew in her heart that any slackness could cost them dearly. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Wan decided to implement a secret plan: quietly expand her team's capabilities without attracting the court's attention.
She understood that facing threats from the court and the outside world, the existing team's strength alone was far from sufficient to cope with any future emergencies. Therefore, strengthening the team's combat effectiveness and defense capabilities, especially by adding new members, became her most urgent task.
That night, Ye Wan discussed this secret plan with Xie Linchuan in their tent. The two sat at a simple table, the flickering candlelight illuminating their slightly tired yet determined faces.
"Linchuan, we must seize this period of relative peace to conduct covert recruitment," Ye Wan whispered, a determined glint in her eyes. "I've already sent people to the nearby villages and towns to look for trustworthy individuals with certain abilities. We not only need more combat power, but also more partners we can trust."
Xie Linchuan nodded, his expression remaining calm. He knew that Ye Wan's decision was undoubtedly wise, but it also carried with it more hidden dangers and risks. Although the imperial court had temporarily relaxed its surveillance, once it became aware of Ye Wan's expansion plans, it might become suspicious and even take stricter measures.
"These new members must undergo multiple rounds of screening to ensure their loyalty and ability," Xie Linchuan reminded him in a deep and powerful voice. "I will send a team of core members to personally oversee their screening and training."
Ye Wan nodded gently, a confident smile playing on her lips. "We not only want them to become qualified warriors, but we also want them to quickly integrate into this big family and become a trustworthy part of our team. No one should be left out."
Ye Wan then began to arrange for core members to travel to nearby villages and towns, quietly searching for potential new recruits. She instructed them to prioritize those who were isolated and helpless, survivors who had lost their loved ones, or those with combat experience. This way, they could avoid the court's suspicion while quickly replenishing the team's combat strength.
Recruitment was kept strictly confidential, hidden from the rest of the team. All recruitment took place at night, with core members secretly traveling to villages and towns, patiently searching for candidates with high potential. These individuals were rigorously screened and brought back to camp only after being confirmed as posing no threat to the team.
After the new members joined, Ye Wan arranged a series of training plans. She personally oversaw each new member's progress, ensuring they quickly adapted to the team's tactical requirements. New members first underwent a rigorous physical test, followed by training in tactical and survival skills. Ye Wan personally led the training, paying close attention to every detail to ensure everyone mastered the team's combat methods and survival strategies in the shortest possible time.
Through a series of training, the new members gradually adapted to the team's rhythm and requirements. Some of them were veterans with rich combat experience, while others were civilians who, despite having no combat experience, showed great adaptability and potential after being trained by Ye Wan.
At the end of each training day, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan would review each new member's performance. A glint of satisfaction flickered in her eyes. "These new members have performed even better than I expected. We are no longer just a hidden little team; we have enough strength to face any unexpected challenge."
Xie Linchuan nodded, a smile playing on his face. "Their joining has indeed strengthened our strength. As long as we continue like this, perhaps we can truly gain a foothold."
Yet, Ye Wan remained clear-headed. She knew that recruiting new members wouldn't be enough to conceal the fact that her team was growing stronger, and the imperial court would eventually notice. She and Xie Linchuan discussed this and decided to maintain a facade of "compliance" to keep the imperial court from noticing anything unusual. Only in this way could they possess sufficient strength and confidence to face greater challenges in the future.
After a few months, the new members had fully integrated into the team, and their tacit understanding was gradually improving. Ye Wan remained highly vigilant about the situation, secretly planning new strategies every day to cope with the upcoming challenges.
Just then, the imperial court issued a new directive, requesting Ye Wan and her team assist in quelling unrest on the border. This mission was clearly more complex and fraught with danger. But Ye Wan showed no fear. Instead, her eyes gleamed with determination and confidence. She knew that with the addition of new members, the team's strength had been unprecedentedly strengthened, and this mission was her chance to demonstrate the team's true strength.
"Are you ready?" Xie Linchuan walked to Ye Wan and asked in a low voice.
Ye Wan smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "It's time to show our strength."
As the mission unfolded, every member of the team demonstrated exceptional combat effectiveness. The new members not only quickly adapted to the pace of battle but also demonstrated exceptional teamwork and individual abilities. Ye Wan commanded with composure, while Xie Linchuan calmly responded to every emergency. The team's coordination grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming a force to be reckoned with.
The completion of this mission not only impressed the imperial court with the strength of Ye Wan's team, but also allowed them to secretly accumulate more trust and resources. However, Ye Wan was still well aware that the power she wielded was still insufficient to gain a firm foothold in front of the imperial court. She and Xie Linchuan's plan was still underway, but every step required greater caution.
Over time, Ye Wan and her team gradually transformed from an ordinary hidden group into a powerful force. She believed that one day, the power of the team would be enough for her to truly control her own destiny and no longer be subject to any external threats.
