Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Four

How Gao Kangda left Paris to help his motherland; how Jimnast encountered the enemy After reading his father's letter, Gao Kangda immediately mounted his mare and left Paris.He had crossed Naunan Bridge, followed closely by Bonnocrates, Jimnast, and Edmund on stage horses.The others took all of Gao Kangda's books and scientific instruments and hurried on at a normal speed. When Gao Kangda went to Barais, a tenant of the Gugai family told him how Piccolosau built fortifications in La Lous? He didn't even keep a single chicken, and went all the way to the Biarre winepress workshop ④, doing evil, surprising, outrageous, and unbelievable.Gao Kang was stunned and at a loss for a moment.Bonokrate suggested that everyone should go to Prince Fuguyong first. This lord has always been friendly to his family and is their ally. He must be able to know the truth of the situation better.They came there immediately, Lord Fu Gu Yong was very enthusiastic and willing to assist them, he suggested to send someone to investigate the situation first, to see the movement of the enemy, so as to decide the steps according to the situation at that time.Jimnaster volunteered, willing to go; but at last it was resolved that he should be accompanied by a man who knew the roads and rivers in the vicinity.

At this time, Fu Guyong's stable manager, Plai Ling, had just gone with him, and the two boldly explored around. Gao Kangda took the opportunity to rest for a while, and ate something with the people with him, and asked someone to feed the horse with buckwheat for a while. "①.Jimnast and his companions rode too far, and at once they came upon the enemy's ranks, who were trying to plunder without discipline and in disorder.When they saw him from a distance, they ran towards him like a swarm, intending to rob him.Jimnaster called to them: "Sir, I am a poor man; please spare me. I have a gold piece here, which we shall drink, for it is an aurum potabile, and my horse, which I may sell as a present. In this way, you can always keep me. Because speaking to God, when it comes to catching chickens, anointing them with oil, grilling them, seasoning them, so that they tear their legs and devour them, no one can compare with me. Now my proficiat3 is , A toast to all the good brothers."

After all, he took out his wine bottle and drank it without even smelling it.The gangsters stared at him with wide eyes, their mouths were opened more than a foot wide, and their tongues were sticking out like a hunting dog, hoping to have a drink later.At this moment, the captain Traipai ran over, and he wanted to see what was going on.Jimnast quickly handed over the bottle and said: "Captain, take it, and drink it heartily. I've tasted it, and it's La Fay Morneau's wine." "What! You wild thing dares to lie here! What are you doing?" "I'm a poor man," Jimnast said.
