Chapter 1273 – Muan Deul Gaideon 33. Securing Helpers.

“Jwacheongryong! A cricket among crickets! An old farmer who has conquered the salt fighting world for a long period of time of 15 days! I will personally prove that I am not inferior to the young ones! Cricket Boilno!”

Sting! Sting!

Soon after, the left cage opened, and the boat of the common cricket began to stride proudly onto the playing field.

Indeed, it could not be anything other than the legendary power of Soltu.

“Woo Baek-ho! The new strongman of the salt fighting world who will destroy the stronghold of the old boy Boil-no! With a strong jaw and quick legs, I will immediately retire the old man who has grown old and become the pinnacle of ruling this place!! ! Challenger Lee Ok-gu 理獄岣!!”

Tsar! Tsar! Tsar!

As the cage on the right was opened, a small cricket with an unusually developed jaw began to appear.

His majestic gait was as good as he could see.
Pierce!

Sizzle!

Soon, the two cricket boarders began to growl, glaring at each other with a small iron cage between them.

As if you’re running right now

“Hey! The match of the century is right around the corner! Everyone, please bet!”

“Boilno! I will only believe in you! Baeknyang!”

“I’ll believe in your ability to bite me four times and bite me backwards! Fifty nyang!”

“No matter how much Okgu Lee is a rising star like a comet, it’s impossible to beat Boilno, an old farmer with 15 days of experience. Twenty-nyang to Boilno!”

“The odds will plummet again… But isn’t this a one-sided fight? Buy Boilno!”

“It’s unreasonable for Reokg to beat Boynog just to look at that size. Seventy coins to Boyno.”

Most people bet on Boilno.

Common crickets are huge in comparison.

The power that has been reigning over the throne for a long period of 15 days.

From the experience accumulated by fighting with seasoned champions and young challengers

When it came to Soltu, everything was perfect for cricket, Voilno.

How can I not bet

“I feel sorry for Ri Ok-gu, Hannyang.”

“I’ll bet a couple of bets, too.”

“In case you don’t know, I’m also passionate about…”

Those wishing for a lucky break began to bet on Ri Ok-gu.

But there was no great expectation in their eyes.

It was because he was convinced deep down that there would be no situation where Ri Ok-gu would win.

In the midst of such a disastrously one-sided gamble,

“One hundred and fifty nyang to Ri Ok-gu.”

Something completely unexpected happened.

Someone hastily bet 150 nyang on Ri Ok-gu, who was certain to lose.

Everyone looked at them at once.

Then, a hostile cotton girl began to enter the field of vision.

“The stupid girl throws money away.”

“I don’t know much about worldly things, but I don’t know too much…”

“Betting money on Ri Ok-gu… If you’re willing to throw money on the ground, give it to me.”

Some of her gamblers started mocking her by clicking her tongue.

“Cancel it now, I will have to pay the penalty, but it will be better than losing all 150 nyang.”

“That’s right, that would be better. Ri Ok-gu is hopeless… That cricket Boilno will trample it.”

Other gamblers urged her to give up.

It was because it felt so wasteful to throw away her money.

“I don’t cancel anything.”

Then, her cotton maid opened her mouth in a calm tone.

“Because Ok-gu Lee will win this match.”

And she spoke with a confident voice.

“Nonsense!”

“Boilno is the best in the world of cricket! On what basis do you guarantee Ri Ok-gu’s victory!”

Everyone shook their heads in denial.

“The lifespan of an adult cricket is three weeks at most… And Boyleno has already spent half a month…No…More than that if you consider the transportation…I would have less than three days left to live.

The cotton maid began to speak in her calm tone.

“On the other hand, Ri Ok-gu is a strong man in his twenties, when compared to a person who has just become an adult… If it’s a fight right before his death and in his twenties, who will win… Isn’t it an obvious fight?”

The cotton maid opened her mouth in her own, her young voice.

That was a convincing statement.

Any trader will have no choice but to kneel before the time.

“Besides, it’s so obvious to me…The slight trembling of Voilno…Probably intimidated, the fear of losing to the young rookie… The fear of dying… “

“I think it’s right after hearing it! Something…Something’s wrong!”

“…I also bet Ri Ok-gu…20 nyang!”

“I’m fifty!”

“Yes, life pair, what is it? One shot! Two hundred nyang!”

“I believe! Cotton maid! 300 nyang!”

Soon after, her gamblers who were persuaded by her all bet on Lee Ok-gu, and the odds of her two crickets began to soar.

No matter who wins, it has grown into a game that makes a lot of money.

Haha! Thank you for your enthusiastic support! The board has become more fun!”

“Shut up and get started!”

“This will put Voilno on his deathbed!”

“Come on! Come on!”

“Let’s take it easy! We have plenty of time!”

“It’s okay to eat snacks while eating!”

Soon after, the heat of the salt field started to get even hotter.

It took an enormous amount of money, so both of you were excited and started raising your voice.

“Okay! Then we’ve been waiting! Let’s start the ultimate match! Three! Two! One! Opening!”

“Waaaaa!!”

“Win it!!”

Shortly thereafter, a famous game that will go down in history began to unfold in the salt field.

In everyone’s cheers
.
.
.
.
.

“Damn it! You sure came in here?”

“Did I see it wrong?”

“Aaaaa!! You bitch! Where are you!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

A group of people entering a dead-end alley began screaming.

“What? How long do you have left? Are you scared?”

“You’re fucking! You bitch!”

“If I can’t catch her today, I’m going to the castle!”

“My money! 100 Nyang! All property 100 Nyang!”

They were all gamblers who listened to the maid and bet all their fortunes on Ri Ok-gu.

They were all venting their anger at the cotton maid.

The fight between Boilno and Ri Ok-gu ended in vain and went down in history, and the gambling funds were scattered in the air.

Boilno ripped off Ri Ok-gu’s head at once.

Naturally, the anger had no choice but to be directed at the cotton maid.

If only she wasn’t talking nonsense

I wouldn’t have blown away my money like this.

“Find it somehow! I’ll eat that bitch as much as the money I lost today.”

“The asshole is mine.”

“Let me take care of the thick lips.”

“Okay, I’ll just take the pussy.”

“Put it in together. That soft-mouthed habit will only be fixed when two cocks are inserted!”
.

Gambling is at your own risk

It was irrelevant to those who lost all their gambling funds and turned their eyes away.

He had no choice but to humiliate the maid who was the culprit of everything.

“Let’s disperse for now. If we catch them, we’ll blow the whistle.”

“Do that!”

“I wish you luck!”

Soon, the gamblers scattered and started wandering here and there.

With only the thought of fucking her

Slippery

Soon after they disappeared, something began to emerge from the dead end wall.

A cotton maiden wearing a red suit.

It was the enemy of Cheolcheonji that gamblers were looking for.

“…They hang it up…Why are you making a fuss with me?”

The cotton maid who showed up opened her mouth with a mumble.

I’ll kill you if you don’t pay

I didn’t even threaten you with a knife.

How can she blame herself

These bastards are blinded by greed and bet money.

“You savage bastards… This is why you shouldn’t gamble with the lower classes.”

He started biting her tongue lightly.

In a gambling house with more proper water management, such retaliation would not have existed.

Hundreds of nyang would have been nothing more than puny money to the upper class.

‘…Should I go to a proper gambling house?’

It will be a bunch.

All gambling houses in Hubei had already been banned from entering.

Other than this illegal gambling place, there is no place to accept oneself.

‘…In the first place…There was no stake…’

She was the one who had just blown up 150 nyang, her entire fortune.

Even if she finds a gambling house that will accept her

She can no longer be found.

“…Ha…”

The sigh deepened.

It was the money borrowed from her close friends and acquaintances, the pocket money she received from her mother, and even her father’s slush funds.

There is no more hole for money to come out.

‘…Should I go back to the family?’

Whiik Whiik

But then she quickly shook her head left and right.

If she goes back like this, she will go on a politically arranged marriage.
You can never go back until you repay all of the 2,500 nyang that has caused damage to your family.

In this way, the cotton girl faced a dilemma that she could not do this or that.

“It doesn’t make sense.”

Then an unfamiliar voice began to pierce her ears.

“Hee!?”

The cotton maid was startled and quickly looked away from her.

And could see

The figure of a very man smiling at himself

Instantly, the maid’s eyes began to widen.

The man’s face was too familiar.

No, I just had to get used to it.

In a way, he was a man who was no different from the culprit of this dilemma.

“To think that the talented daughter of the Jegal family, called Chi-Bong, ended up wandering around gambling places like this…”

“Dang… You… Jang Seon-woo!?”

“It’s been a while, Jegalzia.”

Facing her, Seonwu replied with a deep smile on her face.

The current situation is fun, like dying

“..How.. To this place?”

“Let’s talk about that in a secluded place..”

Swish

Sunwoo turned around and began to walk.

As if to follow me

“I…Why…”

“Or will you be arrested for illegal gambling?”

Sunwoo added a word.

“I’ll go!”

Then Jegal Jia hurriedly raised her voice.

If he was arrested by the king and taken away from the government office, he might be expelled from the family altogether.

Jegalga was a place where honor was more important than anyone else.

***********

“So… To pay back the 2,500 nyang in damages… You jumped into a gambling house?”

“…Yes.”

Jegal Jia shook her head helplessly.

“I guess he just didn’t let it go.”

“…Anyway…It’s not a small amount of money…They said you’d have to be responsible somehow…Whether it’s to raise money…Or get married to a rich family…”

It was a very calculated place.

The underlying thought is that if you cause damage, you have to make up for it somehow instead of being scolded.

“So you collected all the money you didn’t have and ran away?”

“Yes.”

“Why not start a business with that money?”

“Because it’s not a business… It’s not worth the money… And… There’s no time…”

The period of change proposed by the head of the household of Zhuge was only three years.

It was almost impossible to get 2,500 nyang in it.

“So you gambled?”

“Anyway…It’s a game of odds…I thought that if I was quick at calculating, there would be a chance.. Hehe.”

Jegal Jia made an embarrassed expression and started to let out an awkward laugh.

Even thinking about it, she seemed pretty embarrassed.

“Looking at you being chased, it seems like everyone is in trouble?”

“…”

Jegal Jia lowered his head.

It was because it was an undeniable reality.

“If this is the case, the wedding will be a fait accompli… You will have an arranged marriage as if you were sold to a rich family.”

“Uhhh…Uhhhhh…”

Jegal Jia started to cry.

Just imagining it was terrifying.

“Don’t hate it so much, if you go to a rich house, you can live with goodwill for the rest of your life, right?”

Seonwoo gave her some comfort.

“…But…He’s…Twenty years older than me!…So old!…And he has kids!”

Jegal Jia raised her voice as if it was unfair.

Anyway, she tried to agree.

It was absolutely true that she quarreled with Sunwoo without fear and caused damage to her family.

But this was too much to do.

No matter how much it is, if you see that she is trying to marry herself to a young widower.

“I guess that’s the only place that buys you for 2,500 Nyang.”

“…I’m not saying it’s wrong…But…However, I can’t accept it…I don’t like going to a place like that..To get married…Surely, if it’s a place like that, I can’t do it properly. “

Zhuge Zia lamented and began to cry.

She didn’t want to get married as if she was being sold.

Who would want to meet a groom who is sure to die first?

Who wants the happiest marriage to turn out to be the worst?

It is inevitable that the lament will come out of nowhere.

“Well, it’s a pity, but there’s no other way, it’s not like you can suddenly get 2,500 nyang.”

“…That’s right… There’s no… Way to arrange it… For me…”

Jegal Jia put on her sullen expression and started banging her head.

“Well, if a great hero with a very good and great personality lends it, it’s a different story.”

Flash

At that moment, Zhuge Jia quickly raised his head.

This was the reason why such a tempting proposal dug into my ears.

“Will you… Lend me some money?”

Jegal Jia asked him with eyes full of anticipation.

“There’s nothing I can’t lend you, I have a lot of money.”

“…Then…Then I know it’s rude, but… Please…”

“Instead, it can’t be done, and there are conditions.”

“Conditions!?”

“It’s a whopping 2,500 nyang. Wouldn’t it be strange that there are no conditions?”
“…That’s right… Because it’s 2,500 nyang…”

Jegal Jia shook his head as if he understood.

It was because when I heard the amount, I thought that it was not really wrong.

“…Then what are the conditions?”

“I want you to keep reporting on a person’s movements, everything they eat, the people they meet, their facial expressions, and even the route they move.”

“…Why did you do that to me?”

It was something a professional trinket would do.

Why would you do that to yourself?

“There’s no one better than you.”

A location where you can go in and out of Zhuge Ga

A gender that will not be questioned by careful observation

And to conditions that are easy to manipulate because of tight money

She was a woman of the highest value.

“…Who is that person?”

She asked with a questioning expression on her face.

“It’s Jegal Jugyeong.”

Seonwoo calmly opened her mouth.

“My aunt!?

Hearing this, Jegal Jia’s eyes began to widen.

It was because she was puzzled by her mention of an unexpected person.

“Ah, I’ll have to make a report on every move.”

“But…Why?”

“I’m thinking of helping her heal the wounds in her heart. To do that, I need to figure out her trend.”

“…But…However…But…My aunt…”

“It’s already been approved by the head of the household of Jegal.”

“Father!?”

“Okay, so don’t feel too guilty.”

“…”

Jegal Jia put on a complex expression.

It was because she couldn’t quite get her bearings on what to do.

I can’t believe that man’s words

It was too hard to ignore.

What does she say she should do

“It doesn’t matter if you refuse if you don’t like it.”

“If I refuse… I won’t be able to borrow 2,500 coins, right?”

“I’m asking for the obvious, I don’t have a dime.”

Seonwoo spoke softly.

“…Uuuuu.”

Jegal Jia made an expression as if she was suffering.

It was because the terrible future she would face if she couldn’t borrow 2,500 nyang was pictured in her mind.

“Really…Really… Did you get permission from your father?”

“Of course, if you’re really in doubt, you can check it out.”

“…Then…Then I’ll do it.”

Soon, Jegal Jia shook her head with a determined expression on her face.

It was definitely something I had to do with my father’s permission.

It would not be polite to doubt and refuse

‘… I need money… And I want to.’

Her eyes began to sparkle with desire.

“It’s a good choice.”

Sunwoo put a soft smile on his lips.

It was because she thought that it was easier than she thought.

It seemed that they were driven to the point of being on the defensive.

“Then please take good care of me.”

Sunwoo slowly held out his hand.

Snap

And Jegal Jia did not refuse that touch.

It is held tight like a rope.

‘Okay… Now that we’ve secured insiders… We’re going into a full-scale attack.’

For a savvy attack

Insider help was essential.

Now that we have one essential element in place

It would be okay to come up with an attack plan in earnest.

‘This is the first step.’

Ssik

Soon, a smile began to grow thicker on Sunwoo’s lips.
