Beibei roams the magical starry world

Chapter 456: Suspicious Large Wooden Barrel

Hearing a loud noise, Beibei and Duoduo looked over and saw that the carriage had crashed into a big tree and the cargo in the carriage was scattered all over the ground.

The man in black who was driving the carriage was furious. He jumped up and fought with Qiuqiu with a dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, Beibei said to Duoduo, "You stay here to watch him, I'll go and help."

Bei Bei pointed at the tied-up man in black and rushed towards the other man in black.

At this moment, the man in black was very anxious, and each of his swords was powerful and heavy, hoping to kill the ball with one sword.

But the more anxious he was, the less likely he was to stab the ball.

The man in black saw Beibei rushing towards him with a sword in his hand, and knew that he had no chance to fight any further.

He turned and ran away. Beibei came to Qiuqiu and was about to chase the man in black when Qiuqiu grabbed him and said, "Beibei, don't chase him. Check these cabinets and barrels."

Beibei nodded with some regret, and began to check the cabinets and wooden barrels scattered on the ground with Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu and Beibei checked the cabinet, which contained some specialties of Chaoyang Country and exquisite fabrics.

The wooden barrels were filled with precious wine. Just when Qiuqiu and Beibei felt that they had gained nothing, a wooden barrel that was pressed down by the carriage moved slightly.

Beibei suddenly shouted: "Qiuqiu, look, the barrel is moving."

Qiuqiu looked at the barrel carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "Beibei, you must have seen it wrong!"

"You're not mistaken. It moved slightly just now." Beibei said as he came to the front of the wooden barrel.

"Qiuqiu, help me lift up the carriage." Beibei said, and he and Qiuqiu lifted up the overturned carriage.

The two women came to the wooden barrel, stood it up and observed it carefully.

"Let's open it and take a look!" Beibei suggested.

Qiuqiu nodded. At this moment, Duoduo, Yue'er, Shenghuo, the captain, and some crew members also came over.

The captain looked unhappy. After all, he had messed up the gift that the nobles of Chaoyang Kingdom gave to the owner of Pear Blossom Island. It was difficult to explain!

Beibei and Qiuqiu unscrewed the lid of the wooden barrel, and a fragrant aroma wafted into their noses. There was fine reddish-brown wine inside.

Beibei couldn't help swallowing a few times. Qiuqiu saw that it was wine, and together with Beibei, he put the lid back on.

At this moment, the wooden barrel moved slightly again, and Qiuqiu and Beibei looked at each other.

The two women turned over the wooden barrel, which was more than one person tall, and prepared to unscrew the lid of the barrel again.

At this time, the captain on the side could not help but shouted: "Okay, you have just checked, now clean up, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the island owner."

Beibei and Qiuqiu looked at the captain who had a bad face. Beibei said, "We suspect there is something wrong with this barrel. We need to open it and take a look."

"Didn't you just open it and take a look?" the captain said loudly, unable to suppress his anger.

"This barrel is different. We feel like there's something wrong with it." Qiuqiu said unhappily.

Just as several people were arguing, groups of soldiers wearing armor, holding spears and wearing scimitars on their waists came running over from a distance.

Hundreds of soldiers appeared and instantly surrounded Qiuqiu, Beibei, the captain, and a group of onlookers, including crew members and passers-by.

"What's going on?" A burly middle-aged military officer stepped forward and asked.

"Sir, we are searching for suspicious persons and items. We will pack up and leave immediately." The captain said with a smile on his face.

"It is said that these items are gifts for the island owner. How can you spread them all over the floor?" the middle-aged military officer said in a bad tone.

"We will pack up right away, and then I will personally deliver these gifts to the island owner's mansion. I hope you will forgive me." The captain said humbly, while stuffing a piece of silver into the military officer's pocket.

The military officer nodded and said, "Pack it up now and send it over!"

The captain nodded repeatedly, then glanced at the crew around him and said, "Why don't you go and clean it up?"

Just as the crew was about to pick up the scattered gifts, Qiuqiu said, "Wait, I want to open this barrel and take a look."

"You!" The captain was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The military officer beside him also looked unhappy and said, "Little girl, I advise you not to cause trouble."

"What do you mean by causing trouble? I suspect there is something wrong with this barrel." Beibei said bluntly.

The military attaché was very unhappy when he saw Qiuqiu and Beibei didn't give him face, so he said, "Come here, surround this place, and all irrelevant people leave."

"Crash!" More than a hundred fully armed soldiers surrounded Qiuqiu, Beibei and the wooden barrel.

Just as the two sides were about to draw their swords, a voice came from outside the encirclement: "Wait!"

Everyone looked and saw a handsome young man walking into the crowd, followed by nine guards with swords.

The captain quickly clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Meet the Fourth Prince."

When the military officer heard the captain say that it was the fourth prince, he was not quite sure what was going on. He clasped his fists and said nothing.

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with this barrel?" the fourth prince asked gently.

Qiuqiu and Beibei nodded at the same time. The fourth prince looked at the two girls for a moment and said, "Then open it and take a look!"

"The Fourth Prince has already looked at it. It's okay. These are gifts for the island owner. It's not good to open them casually!" The captain reminded him a little uneasily.

"It's okay, open it and take a look. If there is any problem, I will personally apologize to the island owner." The fourth prince said without question.

Seeing that he could not persuade him any more, the captain had to step aside and stop talking.

Beibei nodded to Qiuqiu, and the two women worked together to turn the lid of the wooden box.

The people around stared at the large wooden barrel that was more than one person tall and more than two people wide in silence.

The lid of the wooden barrel was opened after turning a few times. When everyone looked inside, their faces suddenly changed.

I saw a woman wrapped in a quilt and stuffed into a wooden barrel. She seemed to be unconscious and sleeping soundly inside.

The Fourth Prince was shocked when he saw this scene. The nine guards behind him drew their swords from their waists, faced the crowd, turned their backs to the wooden barrel, and surrounded the entire barrel and the Fourth Prince.

When the fourth prince finally found the princess who had been missing for months, he was delighted at first, but then he frowned and said in a low voice, "Investigate this matter thoroughly, no matter who is involved behind it."

The moment the princess appeared in the barrel, the captain sat down on the ground.

When the military officer learned that the princess was hidden in the barrel, he realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ordered the soldiers to control everyone watching.

Suddenly, the whole dock was filled with panic and a solemn atmosphere.
