Chapter 162: Old Acquaintance
Ding Datian told the people present about the circumstances of his parents. As Ding Dadi listened, he seemed to see the scenes of the past again. The people present admired the Ding couple very much, and at the same time, they understood more deeply why Ding Datian desperately exposed Sun Guye, the mastermind behind the secret communication with Hongluo State, and why Ding Dadi fainted on the ground because of Sun Guye's treason.
King Jingyin looked solemn, his eyes were red, his nose was sore, and he recalled the past. He said to Ding Datian: "Your father is Ding Sen, your mother is Ding Shang, and they are both good at archery. Are the two bows they used for archery called Huiluo bows?"
Zhao Lin, who was standing aside, felt somewhat novel when he heard the three words "Huiluo Bow": The sword my father gave me is called Huiluo Sword. It turns out there is also Huiluo Bow in this world. I wonder if there is any connection between Huiluo Sword and Huiluo Bow.
When Ding Datian heard King Jingyin's question, he was stunned at first, then he replied: "Yes! In the end, they were killed by the arrows shot by the other side with the Huiluo bow." He was very surprised. He never expected that King Jingyin could even tell the name of the bow used by his parents. After answering the question, he didn't know what to say to express his surprise.
Ding Dadi asked excitedly: "Your Majesty, you have met my parents, right?"
"Hmm." King Jingyin said, "They actually passed away so early... Alas! In my impression, they have always been the same as they were back then. So much time has passed... Come to think of it, I am old now." King Jingyin thought of the Ding couple's appearance back then, and not only thought of them, but also thought of other people related to the couple, and also thought of his own past. After thinking for a while, the picture in his mind was fixed on the Ding couple again. He said to Ding Dadi: "Your parents are so loyal to Jingyin Country and sacrificed for the villagers. They are heroes! I must go to sacrifice to your parents when I have the chance. They are buried in Dingsu Village, right?"
"Yes." Ding Dadi answered, "Their tomb is easy to find. Next to the tombstone is a double stone statue. The two people carved in the stone are both holding bows with arrows pointing at each other's hearts. The stone statue was built by the villagers of Dingsu Village later."
"After your parents passed away, have you been living with Master Liang?" King Jingyin asked Ding Datian.
Ding Datian said, "That's right. Master Liang had been teaching us martial arts, but he passed away many years later. He was originally from Goulu City. Before he passed away, he said that he hoped we could bury him in Goulu City. After we took care of his funeral, we wanted to spend more time with him there, so we settled in Goulu City. Unfortunately, he suddenly fell seriously ill before we had lived there for long."
After saying that, Ding Datian looked at Ding Dadi, then looked at King Jingyin and said, "Can you untie me first? I want to go over and take a good look at Dadi whom I haven't seen for a long time and talk to him. I am a criminal and I know I will die. I will never take the opportunity to escape. There are masters here and I can't escape. Besides, Dadi is here, so I can't escape either."
King Jingyin thought of those years and agreed to untie Ding Datian. Meng Lian was still a little worried that Ding Datian would use some tricks, but when he thought about it, King Jingyin agreed to untie Ding Datian and King Jingyin knew the Ding couple, he didn't say anything.
