The King of Qi could only accept the fact that success makes one a king and failure makes one a bandit. Although life was not going as planned, he could still manage to survive.
In the past, he stayed obediently in his fiefdom, not daring to make any small moves. He only hoped that his younger brother, whom he had looked down upon in the past, would show mercy and not kill him. After all, he did not have a large army like the King of Chu.
