The flying shuttle arrived in Wu Zhou, and Lu Bei parted ways with the others at the Prince West Mansion. His original plan had been to make a grand tour on the flying shuttle, heading straight to the Wu Zhou capital, where he, as the tournament champion, would be received by the elderly retired emperors of the Zhu family. He would wine and dine, meet the in-laws, and spend the New Year in the capital.
