Of course, although that was said, Ma Chao couldn't be happy. He was very clear about the role he was playing here.
Although Ma Chao fought hard with others, risking his life to take the position of King of Qiang, he eventually discovered that every step he took had been calculated in advance by others. To put it harshly, though Fa Xiaozhi was not by his side, Ma Mengqi was nothing more than a puppet for him.
[Is this the wisdom you are so proud of? It really is something to be in awe of.] Ma Chao had already collected his thoughts, and although sitting in this position to reflect on past events revealed too many truths, what could he do? Throw a tantrum like a child and blame others?
That wouldn't solve any problems at all. After understanding all this, Ma Chao, who initially felt thrilled to become the King of Qiang, quickly calmed his heart. The joy was greatly diluted by the anger of being a pawn.
