Tian Hu roared and raged in his own base camp, throwing things and cursing, but of course no one came forward to admit it.

After all, they really didn't do this. Everyone's not stupid; who would dare to take such a huge credit?

Believe it or not, if anyone dares to step forward and claim credit today, the Song Dynasty will dare to send an army to confront them head-on tomorrow!

"Your Majesty, I don't think this was done by us brothers. It's very likely that someone else framed us."

Seeing Tian Hu jumping around, Fang Xuedu couldn't help but say something to him.

"Frame us? Strategist, then tell me, which bandit group would frame us like this?"

Tian Hu looked at Fang Xuedu with a serious expression.

“That’s Daming Prefecture, and it’s right here in Hebei. That’s my territory! Ren Yuan, that warrior, is holed up in the Shandong marshes, and Fang La, that charlatan, is preaching in Jiangnan. Both of them are quite a distance from us.”

"As for that pretty boy Wang Qing, Huaixi is relatively close to us, and he has no shortage of capable men under his command. Could it be that Wang Qing did this? But does this gigolo who only knows how to live off women have the guts?"

Tian Hu also gave Fang Xuedu a brief analysis.

"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily true. But as for Wang Qing, I don't think he's that bold. Don't forget that people like him are used to living off women. If he were bold, why would he only live off women?"

"Moreover, I heard that Lu Yuanwai, who was famous in Hebei, was also robbed this time. Wang Qing should not have had any connection with Lu Yuanwai. So I don't think it was Wang Qing."

Fang Xuedu also gave Tian Hu an analysis.

"That's not me, not Wang Qing, it's Ren Yuan and Fang La, right?"

Tian Hu responded.

"Fang La is indeed quite far away, and besides that charlatan, if you want to join them, you have to believe in that damn religion first. I don't think Master Lu would believe in that. So I think this time it's most likely a robbery by Liangshan."

What is the connection between Liangshan and Lu Junyi?

Tian Hu was puzzled. Why was it Liangshan again? There was Liangshan everywhere!

"It's hard to say, but I have a feeling that Liangshan was behind the incident in Daming Prefecture this time."

Fang Xuedu gave the concluding remarks.

"Good heavens, we can't take the blame. Here's what we'll do, strategist, send someone to Daming Prefecture to issue a notice saying that this was Liangshan's doing and has nothing to do with us! Tell Liang Zhongshu not to do anything reckless!"

"He wants to get revenge, but he can't accidentally hurt others, right? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. You can't just pin everything on me!"

This time, Tian Hu surprisingly showed some signs of backing down.

"Yes."

Fang Xuedu accepted the task, and the atmosphere in the room had just eased when suddenly several junior officers rushed in to report:

"Your Majesty! Ren Yuan of Liangshan has issued a notice throughout the land. He has heard that we have attacked Daming Prefecture and expressed his admiration! He said he hopes that Your Majesty will have great success in your military endeavors!"

"Your Majesty, King Qing of Huaixi has also issued a proclamation, expressing his admiration for our attack on Daming Prefecture! He said he hopes that King Tian will continue to forge ahead!"

"Your Majesty! Fang La has also sent a message, saying that he hopes we will continue our efforts and strive to attack Tokyo next time!"

The atmosphere in the room, which had just begun to relax, became tense again after these three pieces of news broke.

Of the four great outlaws of the Song Dynasty, are the other three now collectively bolstering Tian Hu's reputation? Have they lost their minds?

"Ren Yuan, Wang Qing, Fang La?"

Fang Xuedu was also a little stunned after hearing the news. What were these three bandit leaders up to?

"Strategist, perhaps we shouldn't bother writing that clarification notice."

What shocked Fang Xuedu even more was that after hearing the news from the other three companies, Tian Hu actually decided not to issue a clarification notice!

"Your Majesty, this is..."

"When you're in the game, you have to save face. Although I don't know which brother in the underworld is so generous as to take the credit for us this time, since the other three have already tacitly agreed that we did it, then we'll admit it! This is actually a great thing!"

Tian Hu's expression suddenly became particularly smug.

"A joyous occasion? Your Majesty, what is there to be joyful about?"

Fang Xuedu said he couldn't understand it; this was clearly a trap!

"Strategist, haven't you realized it yet? The bandits of the Song Dynasty are divided into four factions! But today, the other three actually congratulated me. What does this mean? It means that the three of them have acknowledged that from now on, the bandits of the Song Dynasty will be led by me! From now on, we will be the leaders of the Song Dynasty's bandits! Brothers, isn't this a good thing?"

But Tian Hu confidently offered his own interpretation!

"The mighty king!"

"Your Majesty is so domineering!"

"Your Majesty is the greatest under heaven!"

Upon hearing Tian Hu's analysis, regardless of whether it made sense or not, most of the people in the room immediately offered even louder flattery based on the satisfied expression on Tian Hu's face!

It felt as if Tian Hu had unified the bandits of the Song Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, you have defeated Ren Yuan of Shandong, kicked Wang Qing of Huaixi, and intimidated Fang La of Jiangnan. Your achievements surpass those of the emperor in Bianjing. I propose that Your Majesty take this opportunity to ascend the throne and become king!"

Amidst all the sycophancy, one person's suggestion stood out as truly unique!

This man is Fan Quan, Tian Hu's father-in-law!

Before Fang Xuedu and the others could even refute, they heard Tian Hu burst into laughter!

"Father-in-law is right! Hahaha! Your son-in-law does indeed have the ambition to become king! I never expected that you, father-in-law, would understand me the most!"

"Punching Ren Yuan of Shandong, kicking Wang Qing of Huaixi, intimidating... Not bad, not bad! Come on, carve these four sentences of my father-in-law onto a fine board, and then frame them!"

Fan Quan's words struck a chord with Tian Hu, and in his excitement, he decided to frame Fan Quan's words!

He's wanted to be king for a long time!

"Your Majesty, our original plan was to wait until we conquered Gaizhou before declaring ourselves king. Isn't it a bit too hasty now?"

Fang Xuedu quickly stopped Tian Hu, warning him not to act rashly and declare himself king!

"Strategist, that was before. Now, time is of the essence!"

Tian Hu waved his hand, signaling Fang Xuedu to stop talking.

"If all the outlaws in the world praise me, then I will seize this opportunity and become king!"

"As for Gaizhou... Marshal Dong, can you take it? If you can take Gaizhou as soon as possible, I will bestow upon you the title of Duke after I become king!"

Tian Hu looked at Dong Ping, knowing that Dong Ping was only interested in high-ranking positions and generous salaries!

"Your Majesty, rest assured! In my eyes, those people from Gaizhou are all just tackling Seoul!"

Dong Ping stepped forward and vouched for Tian Hu!

That's a duke! Dong Ping is determined to have him!

"Very well! Hahaha! Then I, the King, will await Dong Qing's good news!"
