A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 22

The next day, Lan Jue woke up from a coma and learned that it was Gu Qingzhang who sent the unconscious Lan Jue and Zhang Ping back to the house, and prepared anti-poison for them. Lan Jue searched around but did not find this person, and learned from Xu Dong that Gu Qingzhang had left Lan Mansion for a long time.

Ten years ago, Lan Jue made a living by selling paintings on the street. Gu Qingzhang met him through an art booth. Gu Qingzhang made Lan Jue his confidant with a few words. After getting acquainted, the two became friends, and it was also Lan Jue's last carefree days after a sudden change in her own home. Ten years ago, Sixian Bookstore was the favorite meeting place for scholars in the capital. Here, scholars could not only discuss poetry and prose, but also broaden their contacts and inquire about scientific research news. Because Lan Jue was a criminal minister, she was usually looked down upon by others, and she was repeatedly excluded here. But he ran into Gu Qingzhang here, and then the two went boating on the lake, and accidentally found a shabby room in the lake, where they lived temporarily.

Back then, in order to be famous in the scientific examinations, Lan Jue wanted to make friends with dignitaries and inquire about the examiners' preferences. He practiced lower script in order to befriend the calligraphy master Sun Shangshu, but Gu Qingzhang thought that with Lan Jue's talent, he could still be on the list with his ability in the scientific examination. At that time, Lan Jue was ashamed of herself, and decided to focus on the present and temporarily alienate Gu Qingzhang. That year, he wanted to cater to the chief examiner's preferences in answering scientific examination articles, but he did not expect that the newly replaced examiner did not like this style. In desperation, Lan Jue wanted to commit suicide. At that time, Gu Qingzhang noticed that Lan Jue was in a bad mood, so he came to explain . Lan Jue failed to listen to the advice and decided to die. She drank the poison she had prepared in advance, but when she woke up the next day, she found that she was fine and found that the poison she bought was fake. By coincidence, Lan Jue finally won the position of Tanhua in the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, but he regretted leaving Gu Qingzhang without saying goodbye.

Zhang Ping left after hearing the past between Lan Jue and Gu Qingzhang, but after returning home, he asked about the details of Chen Thou's acquaintance with him, wondering how well Lan Jue and Gu Qingzhang knew each other before they could become confidants. After much hesitation, Lan Jue decided to go to the hut in the lake to meet his friend. When he came here, he saw his friend Gu Qingzhang. Lan Jue bought this place after becoming an official, as a way to commemorate the precious moments here. The two took out the wine buried ten years ago, and agreed not to return if they were not drunk.

Zhang Ping came to Lan Mansion to find Lan Jue to discuss the formation map of Remnant Ye, and learned that Lan Jue was out looking for friends, so he had to wait in Lan Mansion temporarily. At this time, Lan Jue and Gu Qingzhang had a drink and chat. Lan Jue asked his friend why he left without saying goodbye. Gu Qingzhang explained that he didn't leave without saying goodbye, but that he was sick and had to leave. Under Lan Jue's repeated questioning, Gu Qingzhang said that he saw that Lan Jue was determined to die, so he exchanged the wine glasses between the two in desperation. Dangerous situation, but can't cure the root cause, leaving stubborn illnesses. Over the years, he has searched for antidote, and he has slowly detoxified the poison in his body, and because of this, he has acquired medical skills over the years.

Lan Jue felt very guilty when he heard about this incident. Back then, he was under the shackles of the son of a criminal minister, and all he did was for the purpose of becoming an official in the scientific examination and overturning the case for his father. He failed to tell his friends the reason because he was afraid of dragging the other party. After hearing this, Gu Qingzhang said, Said that he understood Lan Jue's difficulties. Zhang Ping waited all night in Lan Mansion before Lan Jue came back to the mansion. Lan Jue brought Gu Qingzhang back to the mansion and introduced the two to get acquainted.

Zhang Ping asked about the words on the residual leaves, but Lan Jue said that he had checked the ancient books and couldn't make the words in them into sentences. At this time, Gu Qingzhang said that he had a few ancient books in his collection and might be able to help. Because of Gu Qingzhang's voice, Zhang Ping became suspicious of his identity. Chen Zhao came to find Zhang Ping to go home. It turned out that Zhang Ping had successfully passed the imperial examination. Chen Zhao prepared a meal for him to celebrate this. But Zhang Ping said that he didn't want to take part in the imperial examination. He took part in the scientific examination just to follow in Mu Yesheng's footsteps. But now that he knew what Mr. Tao looked like, he no longer knew whether he should become an official. Chen Thou was very disappointed by this, thinking that it was a rare opportunity and it would be a pity for Zhang Ping to miss it.

Zhang Ping thought for a while and continued to investigate the case. He returned to Lan Mansion. At this time, Lan Jue handed him the map of the broken leaves that he had sorted out, and wanted him to see if he could find new clues, but Zhang Ping saw Gu Qingzhang beside him always had doubts about his identity.
