Ding Jiu and the other Qianniu guards' faces changed greatly, and they cheered as if they were facing a great enemy, and the guards strode over, blocking the prince like a wall.

In the wind and snow, a group of people at the head of the village rushed here in a panic, shouting loudly as they ran, "Old Chief, something happened in the village?" ”

"Ready!"

Seeing this, the captain of the guard, Ding Jiu, was even more nervous.

I saw that his expression was grim, and his right hand was pressed on the handle of the Qianniu knife, and the sheath was about to be unsheathed.

A few of the guards were even more exaggerated, and they took their five-shot crossbows from their saddles and aimed them at those who dared to approach.

"General, those are people from my village, they know each other, not gangsters!"

Seeing this posture, the old lieutenant was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and his heart was pounding, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ding Jiu's sleeve and said.

"Ding Jiu, who let the guards stand in front of Lone, and dare to draw a sword and a crossbow? If you want to find death, disperse quickly and stay away. Yuan Zhi was furious.

What kind of behavior is drawing a knife and a crossbow against the common people?

They are damaging the image of the prince.

When Wei Changjin and Gao Jin saw this, they also felt that this Ding Jiu was too reckless.

Maybe it was the assassination that happened in the bamboo forest last time that made him nervous, and he became a chaser.

Protecting the prince's safety is important, but at the moment, it is even more important to maintain the prince's image.

They stepped forward and scolded, telling the Qianniu guards who were waiting for the battle to put away their swords and crossbows and disperse as soon as possible.

"General Ding, you can't do this next time, you have to learn to judge, otherwise, Your Highness will not let you continue to stay in the guard."

At the end, Wei Changjin whispered to Ding Jiu.

Ding Jiu was so frightened that his face turned green when he heard this.

Not being by the prince's side means losing his great future.

"Dog leftovers, what are you doing when you're far away and start howling wolves? Is there a dead person in the village, or is your house on fire? Shouting so loudly and disturbing Prince Luan, can you afford to be guilty? ”

The old lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward a few big steps and stopped the villager called Gou Yuzi.

The dog leftover is disabled, and the remaining eye is not good at eyesight.

He listened to the words of the old man and trembled with fright.

When he raised his eyes, he saw many tall soldiers, glaring angrily at him.

There was a young man in a brocade robe, looking at him with a slight smile on his face.

The dog leftover is lonely and unheard, where has he seen this kind of battle, he was so frightened that his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a tom and kowtowed loudly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people deserve to die, I don't know that His Highness is here, I am worried that Luan deserves to die."

"Hurry up, get up and talk slowly." Yuan Zhi raised his hand very kindly, which was regarded as a return gift.

"What's going on in the east of the village?"

Seeing that the prince didn't mean to blame at all, the elder dared to ask.

"Old Chief, do you know the new Widow Hu's house in the east of the village? I heard that her man and eldest son were killed by bandits on the way to escape, and the other son went to the military office, leaving only a daughter-in-law and a baby, and two daughters under the age of ten. ”

"Shicai, a well-wisher in the village went to send some firewood and rice to her house, but she couldn't shout no matter how she shouted, but smelled the smell of burning charcoal outside her house."

"What?"

The old chief's face changed greatly when he heard this, "How can the charcoal be burned casually, doesn't she know that thing is poisonous?" ”

"Widow Hu's family are all women, and they mainly rely on village relief on weekdays, but they may be so cold that they can't stand it, so they pick up some charcoal from somewhere to burn." Dog leftovers continued.

"Coal? Has coal been found here? Yuan Zhi was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

From the mineral storage data of later generations, it is known that there are a large number of coal mines in Xianyang, but the specific location is not yet known, which needs to be explored.

If someone can pick up coal, it means that there is coal in the ground, and it is a shallow layer, which belongs to the category of open-pit coal mine.

Without waiting for the reaction of the people around him, the prince was excited in his heart, "Go in and take a look, it's important to save people." ”

With that, he took a few steps forward, took the reins from the horse, turned over and walked away.

"Hurry up, get on the horse..."

Ding Jiu shouted in surprise, and he rode his horse to chase after him first, followed by other Qianniu guards.

The old lieutenant and the villagers were dumbfounded.

This... They haven't led the way yet, have they?

In fact, there is no need for someone to lead this at all, because there are definitely many villagers around the accident site.

The prince and the others easily found the house of the widow Hu who had an accident.

The door of a wooden house was closed tightly, and a puff of black smoke emanated from the cracks around the house.

There was a large group of villagers outside the house, but they were all far away, lest they might provoke the smoke demon.

That's amazing.

Yuan Zhi understood at a glance that this is a typical bituminous coal, which produces a large amount of carbon monoxide toxic gas, which suffocates people to death.

"Oh, there's someone from the official office, get out of the way."

“？？？”

Seeing the prince and more than 20 plainclothes rushing in on horseback, Hulala made way for a way.

Yuan Zhi jumped off his horse and strode to the wooden house, and a familiar smell of coal came to his face.

"Come on, knock the door open!" He commanded loudly.

"Your Highness, you can't get any closer, it's dangerous!" Ding Jiu stepped forward with an arrow and blocked it face to face with several Qianniu guards.

"Quick... Go and bang on the door, it's poisonous or not, and you all know it. ”

Yuan Zhi couldn't push these guards away, so he was so anxious that his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Go quickly, it's important to save people!" ”

Seeing that the prince's voice was fierce, as if he was going to eat people, Jiang Wulang dared to hesitate, only to see his body bent slightly, and hit the wooden door.

"Click...", the wooden door was smashed and fell down.

As soon as the door opened, a strong strange smell came with black smoke, forcing Jiang Wulang and the others to cover their mouths and noses and retreat.

"Your Highness, danger!"

At this time, Ding Jiu was anxious.

Ignoring the offense, he leaned sideways and moved the prince away more than a dozen paces.

"Mother, put down the loneliness." Yuan Zhi was so anxious that he didn't speak Sven, and burst out foul language.

When Ding Jiu put him down, Yuan Zhi ordered loudly:

"Jiang Wu, hold your breath and rush in, push open the window first, and then drag everyone out of the house."

"Yes."

The prince's decree, where can everyone hesitate.

Jiang Wulang shouted and rushed in first, and he pushed open a wooden window in the middle of the room with one palm.

Followed by those who rushed in were a few guards who had explored the study in the west of the East Palace last time.

"Ouch, these military masters don't want to die?"

“？？？”

The local villagers who were watching outside all shouted and looked inside the house with wide eyes when they saw this.

Yuan Zhi didn't have time to explain, he had to save people first.

The room was about forty square meters, and there was a strong smell of smoke in the room.

In a simple stone stove, there is a pile of white powder with some unburned coal.

At the base of the wall, there was a large pile of useless coal, black and shiny.

These coals, Jiang Wulang, they are all familiar with now.

I saw a baby, two and a half girls, and a young woman on a long clay kang in the house.

Lying at the foot of the bed was a woman in her forties.

Obviously, she wanted to open the door to get some air.

The family was purple and black, and they passed out.
