Chu Tang flicked sugar beans one by one, each bean claiming a life. Soon, the soldiers escorting the supplies firmly gained the upper hand and tied up the few remaining attackers.

The commanding officer saluted Chu Tang, "Thank you, noble hero, for your timely aid."

Chu Tang's gaze fell on a soldier standing behind the commanding officer, "Are you an insider?"

Thinking he was being accused, the commanding officer startled and was about to speak when the soldier he thought Chu Tang referred to suddenly bolted.

"Stop him!" The soldiers chased after the fleeing man, catching and binding him on the ground.
