Episode 3 recap: Yan Nanxing came from the Jiangxin White Gang

The people in the village were forced to grow water caltrop, but the other party had power and influence, and the old grandmother did not dare to speak up Yan Nanxing felt that as long as the water caltrop existed, there would be no end to it, so she simply burned it all down Yan Nanxing burned the water caltrop, and the old grandmother was worried that the other party would not let them go, crying and lamenting Jiang Xinbai was about to leave and took Yan Nanxing with him again

Yan Nanxing asked Jiang Xinbai if he was another group of water caltrop growers. Jiang Xinbai told Yan Nanxing not to associate himself with the water caltrop, so that Yan Nanxing could put his mind at ease. Yan Nanxing found that the rope was loosened, and was struggling over whether to escape or not, but felt that it would be better to stay with Jiang Xinbai and let him protect him.

Jiang Xinbai told Yan Nanxing about the current situation, and Yan Nanxing hoped to follow Jiang Xinbai back to Heman and let Jiang Xinbai protect him, promising to tell Jiang Xinbai two secrets about the General. Yan Nanxing's mother had drunk the General's wine and found that the wine had a problem, but the General was always in a drunken state, which was very strange. Jiang Xinbai also didn't say much.

In the inn, someone nearby was talking about the wanted Yan Nanxing, saying that she had done many bad things and that many men went in and out of her place every day, and that she even had a child. Yan Nanxing was very angry, but didn't say anything. To Yan Nanxing's surprise, Jiang Xinbai stepped in and drove those people away. At night, Yan Nanxing was muttering in the courtyard, saying that he also wanted to make friends, but he hadn't done anything wrong. Jiang Xinbai heard this and played a tune, which deeply moved Yan Nanxing.

Jiang Xinbai and Yan Nanxing returned to River Man, where Li the deputy general discovered them and wanted to capture Yan Nanxing. Jiang Xinbai and Yan Nanxing got into an argument, and just then the general arrived and invited Jiang Xinbai and Yan Nanxing to come visit. Yan Nanxing explained the situation to the general's wife, who believed her and hoped Yan Nanxing would come back to continue treating her, which Yan Nanxing agreed to.

The general's wife wanted Yan Nanxing's mother and teacher to come as well, but Yan Nanxing quickly said they were helping someone else. Jiang Xinbai discussed with the general that he was a tea merchant from the Central Plains whose business was not going well, and a friend had advised him to seek the general's protection. The general asked who this friend was, but Jiang Xinbai did not want to say.

The general poured Jiang Xinbai some wine, hoping he would open up after drinking. Remembering Yan Nanxing's warning about the general's wine, Jiang Xinbai agreed to drink with him. Jiang Xinbai got quite drunk, and Yan Nanxing came to help him back. Jiang Xinbai said he couldn't see Yan Nanxing clearly, so he couldn't trust her.

The general's wife had planned to see Yan Nanxing, but when she saw Jiang Xinbai and Yan Nanxing together, she misunderstood and left quickly. Jiang Xinbai noticed Yan Nanxing's injury and asked if it hurt, wanting to change the dressing. Jiang Xinbai wanted to see the fireworks, so Yan Nanxing bought some and they watched together. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinbai leaned on Yan Nanxing's shoulder and shed a tear, leaving Yan Nanxing speechless.

The next day, when Jiang Xinbai woke up, he was shocked to find himself with Yan Nanxing. Yan Nanxing said Jiang Xinbai had been drunk the previous day and touched her all over, and she had no choice but to bring him back. Jiang Xinbai insisted he would never do such a thing.
