But why {...tezu'e lenu penmi le ctuca be ri} as opposed to {...tezu'e lenu penmi le ri ctuca
}?

You want {lenu} after {ki'u} in this case, otherwise {ki'u} governs
only {mi} and then {bilga} is a syntax error.

I like using extra gismu places in some cases rather than the loose
connection with {pe}, so I'd probably change the last bit of your
sentence to {le ckule be fo le panzi be mi tezu'e lenu penmi le ctuca
be ri}.
