In the twenty-first episode of "A Distant Run of Water," Wei Zhao returned to his hometown, Moonset City, which he had not seen for many years. He recalled the happy times he had with his parents and sister. However, his loved ones had passed away. Although he had now become a superior person and lived a good life, his heart was lonely and he could not help but cry. Jiang Ci saw it. Pei Yan wanted to make a comeback with the firearms case, but his mother Rong Yudie's selfish desires prevented him from doing so. Hence, he decided to apply to Emperor Daliang for a military reform. Because Lu Yu's Far-pacifying Army and the Long Wind Guards were a thorn in Xie Che's side (the Long Wind Guards were currently under Yue Jinglong's management), if the Far-pacifying Army could be completely reformed, Pei Yan would be able to regain his trust and become an official in the court. Pei Yan was worried that Wei Zhao had Rong Yu Die and the Forging Division's transaction records, so he sent Yi Fei to search for Wei Zhao's whereabouts. Rong Yudie tried her best to matchmake Pei Yan and Dong Juan, the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister Dong Fang, so that Pei Yan could meet Dong Juan the next day. However, Pei Yan was concerned about Jiang Ci and had no interest in Dong Juan and found an excuse to shirk. After Pei Yan drafted the military reform plan, he immediately entered the palace to report to Xie Che. Xie Che avoided him, but Pei Yan was not discouraged and waited outside the palace for summons every day. Wei Zhao brought Jiang Ci, Uncle Ping, and Yu Lian away from Le's house to Moonset City. Le insisted on following him, and Wei Zhao had no choice but to agree. Jiang Ci left a mark along the way so that her master could contact her. On the way, she found Yu Lian in a daze in front of a courtyard. The old woman who came forward to help tidy up the wooden door was Yu Lian's mother. When it was dark, everyone came to the inn. Uncle Ping let Jiang Ci sleep in the woodshed, but Jiang Ci refused and wanted to sleep with Jade Lotus. After Jiang Ci took out the two eggs that the old woman had given to Yu Lian, Yu Lian opened her heart to Jiang Ci. It turned out that she had been captured and made a slave in Liang Kingdom. Her mother had been sad for a long time, and Wei Zhao had saved her. She knew that the road ahead was dangerous and could die at any time, so she did not dare to acknowledge her mother to prevent her mother from suffering the pain of separation again. Jiang Ci had previously witnessed Old He and his wife die for justice, so she had a deep impression of the Moon Falling People. Jiang Ci found that Wei Zhao's behavior was strange after returning to the moon. She asked Yu Lian, but Yu Lian kept her mouth shut. Wei Zhao taught Le martial arts. He had strict requirements, so Le practiced seriously. Emperor Xie Che of Daliang was satisfied with Pei Yan's military reform plan, but he still did not see him. He wanted to wait for Wei Zhao to investigate Lu Yu's matter. Pei Yan could not see Xie Che, so he had to leave. When he passed by the river, he remembered that he had made a wish with Jiang Ci at the lotus lantern, and he felt bad. On the way back, he met Dong Juan and remembered that he had an appointment. His friend apologized for him. Dong Juan did not care about it and even promised to lie for him that he was punctual. Pei Yan was grateful. After Pei Yan bid farewell to Dong Juan and returned to Marquis Jianding's mansion, he learned that Cui Liang had not eaten for four days and hurried to check. Cui Liang helped Jiang Ci escape and felt ashamed to face Pei Yan. He wanted to die to apologize. Pei Yan advised him to eat first. Cui Liang knew that Pei Yan had the ambition to rule the world, but he was worried that he would let the people suffer for the throne. Pei Yan swore not to let the people suffer and begged Cui Liang to stay by his side. Pei Yan met Left Prime Minister Dong Fang early in the morning and proposed marriage. Dong Fang readily agreed and put in a good word for Pei Yan in front of Xie Che. Only then did Xie Che agree to meet Pei Yan. Pei Yan was eager to change his military but was worried that Lu Yu would not cooperate, so he volunteered to go to Liangzhou to change his military. Xie Che asked him to resume his official position and privately sent a letter to Wei Zhao, asking Wei Zhao to keep an eye on Pei Yan and Lu Yu.
