Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Just when the soldiers were about to take Zhang Mingfeng, Master and his subordinates away, the city guard officer came to report, "Prime Minister! An army appeared outside the city, armed with torches and weapons, and was about to enter the outer city gate."

Zhao Pu was startled, "What? The army?"

As soon as Defang heard this, he immediately took out the tiger talisman, "Tong Dezheng, I am ordering you to return to the tower to preside over the battle!"

Tong Dezheng clasped his fists, "The last general will get the order!" He rushed to the tower with his adjutant.

Defang said to Zhao Pu, "Prime Minister, please sit down in the hall. General Tong will definitely repel the thieves, and Xiao Wang will also go to fight." After speaking, he turned around and took Jiajun and the imperial guards to go. Zhao Pu ordered Zhang Mingfeng and others Lock it up, and follow it to the tower.

When Defang came to the city, he saw dozens of torches running a little far away. They seemed to have entered the outer city and came straight to the inner city. Tong Dezheng ordered archers and spearmen to guard the outer city gate. Then light the torches and order the archers to prepare. Defang also wants to bring a bow and arrow. The army below the city seems to be a little flustered, and the leader shouts, "Open the city gate! Otherwise we will go in!"

Tong Dezheng looked at the leader of the bandits, "Bold madman, where are you from? How dare you make trouble in Jingxi Bing Town!"

The leader of the thieves didn't seem to understand the situation at all, and continued to shout, "Who are you! How courageous! We are the subordinates of General Tong!" It turned out that Zhang Mingfeng bought bandits to pretend to be the army in order to substantiate Tong Dezheng's rebellion.

As soon as Tong Dezheng heard it, he knew it was Zhang Mingfeng and his gang, so he said to Defang, "My lord, this..."

"General Tong, this king understands, tell them to disarm immediately, otherwise, except for the leader of the bandit, they will all be killed!"

"Yes," Tong Dezheng shouted to the people below, "Zhang Mingfeng has been dismissed from his post and put in prison. You should disarm immediately, or you will be shot!"

At this time Zhao Pu also went up to the tower and heard this.

Hearing this, the bandit leader shouted very angrily, "What! Did Zhang Mingfeng go back on his word! He wants us to be scapegoats! I want his life! Kill me!" Shooting towards the city tower, hit by random arrows, Defang saw an arrow coming, turned around and hid, but found Zhao Pu standing behind him, seeing that the arrow was about to hit Zhao Pu, Defang reached out and slapped the arrow, Zhao Pu Startled, Defang threw down the arrow and said to Zhao Pu, "Stand back, prime minister, be careful not to get hurt!" The others were subdued and taken to prison.

When everyone returned to the government office, Zhao Pu said, "Many things have happened in the past few days, and the city needs to make rectification arrangements, but the emperor's life is in hand, and the time limit is not long. The prince must return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Defang replied, "What the prime minister said is very true. Xiao Wang will arrange the affairs in the city as soon as possible, and return to Beijing with the prime minister as soon as possible."
