Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

After sending Xiaobai away, Fadu finally breathed a sigh of relief.When I went out, I saw Lan Ruo and Xuexiu bickering again, but Qin Fei was nowhere to be seen, so I asked casually, "Has Qin Fei escaped?"

"He's so cowardly, even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to run away." Xuexiu shook his head, "Well, he's just cats in the backyard right now."

Xuexiu's words were very appropriate, and Qin Fei was indeed squatting in the corner of the backyard, with the back of his neck straight, like a cat facing the wall and thinking about the past.

Fa Du slowly approached: "What are you doing?"

Qin Fei jumped up like a frightened cat, and then answered honestly: "Count ants."

"Counting ants?" Fadu glanced at the group of inconspicuous creatures in the corner who were desperately working for their livelihood, "What's so good about counting ants?"

Qin Fei spread his hands: "Isn't I doing nothing to pass the time?"

Fadu nodded, followed by asking: "Why don't you run away?"

Qin Fei smiled flatteringly: "If you don't let me go, how dare I go?"

"The ants in our yard have all moved away these few days, and these ants must be from outside." Fadu smiled lightly, "They will come, naturally they are attracted by the fishy things. The piece of dust in the corner is The new one is because you are covering up the traces of vomiting blood."

Qin Fei was dumbfounded for a while, but finally nodded: "But... how would you know..."

"I once had a friend who was also a half-demon." Fadu replied indifferently.

Half demons are extremely sensitive to their own identities. When Fa Du said such words, Qin Fei still had some doubts in his heart: "Really? Where's your friend?"

"Let's go." Fadu replied indifferently, "At that time I was unable to save him, but now I have the ability to save him, but he is no longer here."

Qin Fei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly after a while: "Yes, God is so unfair, half-demons cannot integrate into the human world and are not accepted by the demon clan, and even their life span seems to be given away by others. "

Fadu suddenly said, "Are you willing to give me your life?"

"Life?" Qin Fei almost bit his own tongue, "What...what do you mean?"

"Lan Ruo and Xuexiu are human beings after all, and there are some things that I can't send them to do." Fadu replied, "As long as you give me your life as a token of loyalty, I may give you an eternal lifespan."

"Really? Can you really...can do it?" Qin Fei's voice trembled slightly.

Fadu nodded slowly but firmly.

"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Qin Fei swallowed, "Kill someone?"

Fadu shook his head: "It's inconvenient for me to come forward to do it, I can't do it, I don't want to do it."

Qin Fei finally lowered his head: "Okay, I promise you."

A short lifespan is an unavoidable knot in the hearts of all half-demons. Perhaps before asking Fa Du, he knew clearly that Qin Fei would never refuse.

"In that case, you follow me to the palace now." Now that the terms have been negotiated, Fadu didn't worry about him making any mistakes, and immediately used the free labor.

"In the palace?" Qin Fei said with a bitter face, "Do you want me to spy on the manager named Dai Xu? It's too late for you to go now."

Fadu frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Dai Xu is dead." Qin Fei suppressed his voice, "It was at the morning of today."

"Impossible, the entire palace is under my protection, how could he..." Fadu suddenly stopped. Back then, he noticed all the changes around him, but he couldn't detect the bug that Xiaotang put in his collar , It is the same now, he can detect the changes in the palace, but he can't prevent accidents within the normal range.

Seeing him stop, Qin Fei quickly explained: "Mingtang got the news through a different channel, and I knew about it as soon as it happened. The reason why I didn't dare to tell you was because I was afraid that you might misunderstand... Now I and that manager Everyone sticks to their own words, if he dies, the suspicion will of course fall on me."

Fadu asked: "Your words are not completely unreasonable, but how do I know if you stayed here deliberately to eliminate suspicion and let your accomplices act in private?"

Qin Fei's expression was a little bewildered, as if he couldn't figure out how to express himself: "It's strange to say that we traded things to him, but he said that he didn't succeed in receiving the goods. The goods suddenly disappeared and could not be traced, which was very strange in the first place, and his death was even more as if there was no proof of death, Mingtang had ten thousand mouths, and he couldn't explain clearly. At that time, he entrusted Mingtang to steal the treasure, and he didn't explain at all what to do. What, just say I'm here, and that thing will come naturally. It's strange, isn't it?"

Fadu nodded. He felt strange at that time. He thought that Qin Fei could take away the blood relics as accurately as a bag and leave a dead end with his clever methods. Now it seems that is not the case. The arranged drama led him step by step towards the pre-set situation.

Seeing that he didn't directly doubt himself, Qin Fei also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... shall we still go to see Dai Xu's body?"

Fadu nodded: "We must go."

Axu's death was really bizarre, walking on the Jiuqu Bridge, she fell down and drowned.Early in the morning, he must not drink alcohol. It is too far-fetched to say that he was careless. The only explanation is suicide.The last person Axu saw before his death was Fadu. After the two had a private conversation, Axu committed suicide, and all doubts would naturally focus on Fadu.

When Fadu took Qin Fei to inspect the body, Baoshu was already there.He was watching the whole salvage process. It stands to reason that if A Xu had an accident, he would always express some grief even if he was not heartbroken. However, his expression at this moment was so indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him.

"I know you will come to see it, but no one has disposed of the body yet." Baoshu pointed to the outside, "He's outside, you go and see for yourself."

Axu lay under the icy bridge railing, only covered his body with a layer of fine white cloth, although there was an umbrella beside him, but it could cover his body but not his face, the drizzle washed over him layer by layer With a pale and stiff expression, his eyes were forever fixed on the pain and despair at the moment when his life ended.

"He didn't close his eyes even after he died, that's wrong." Qin Fei hid behind Fa Du, "Let's not go there, he looks so unrepentant, it's really frightening to see."

Fadu glanced back at him: "I never knew you would be so taboo about human life and death."

"It's not a taboo. We know that life is precious, so we are in awe of all living beings." Qin Fei swallowed, "I can deceive and take lives, but everything I do will not It’s just doing it because you like it.”

"You're right." Fadu smiled wryly, "It's just that I knew it too late."

Qin Fei looked bewildered, but before he could ask further, Fa Du had already stepped out.

Fadu squatted down slowly, put his palm on his forehead to save him, and immediately noticed something strange.

A Xu is surrounded by the ghosts attracted from Baoshu, if he really died in vain, then his ghosts will definitely linger at this moment, and the ghosts haunting him have no target, and they will naturally follow them to find others The goal.

But at this moment, although Ah Xu's expression is ferocious, his soul has already left.

He died peacefully and willingly.

The grievances haunting him didn't dissipate, but simply disappeared.

"What exactly did you say to him?" Bao Shu asked coldly, "I know you can't understand him, but I don't know that you can't tolerate him so much."

Fadu didn't answer. Having been together for so many years, he knew that Baoshu just had some things to say, and he didn't really want to hear his explanation or answer.

But Qin Fei couldn't help but said: "If the national teacher wants his life, why bother so much?"

"This is another little monster picked up by Yi Xun. No matter how much you pretend to be human, you are still a different kind." Baoshu replied coldly, "Although you are not bound by the laws of the world, you are still here. It's not your turn to comment on right and wrong."

Qin Fei couldn't help but be a little surprised that the mortal in front of him actually revealed his identity in a single word. "Baoshu was born with unusual eyes, so he can tell your identity." Fadu said in a low voice, and then cut off the conversation: "Maybe it's my words that are serious."

"En." Baoshu responded coldly, "I don't mean to argue with you, but I'm just a manager. If it's gone, it's gone. I just arrange to reward the family and give them a good funeral."

Fadu folded his palms together: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Baoshu turned his head and got on the chariot, and the young man next to him quickly put up the canopy, and left quickly surrounded by all the palace people, without turning his head again.

"That Dai Xu is also a person with some morals, how can he be taken advantage of by a few strands of grievances?" Qin Fei couldn't help muttering, "Although I don't know you yet, you are also a reasonable person these days, so you won't just say a few words. Did you drive a living person to death? This little emperor really doesn't know right from wrong, and I must investigate this strange incident carefully tomorrow..."

"There's no need to investigate any more." Fadu shook his head, "What he wanted was not the truth, but the debt I owe him."

Qin Fei stared: "Then Dai Xu's death..."

"You also said that he is a somewhat virtuous person. He has no regrets in his heart, and all the grievances have disappeared." Fa Du laughed, "It was like a special ceremony. My own life has saved those undead who are full of resentment."

"This...why?" Qin Fei couldn't figure it out at all, "What is he doing this for?"

"Maybe it's just my words that are serious." Fadu had a meaningful smile on his face, "People can act, but they must never be part of the show. People can deceive others, but never deceive themselves. A Xu thinks that he It's acting, but it ends up being a part of it."

"You mean..." Qin Fei suddenly realized, "Could it be that Dai Xu has feelings for that cruel little emperor, and that's why he willingly saved those undead souls with his life?"

Fa Du nodded, smiled without saying a word.

Qin Fei's guess was not wrong, Axu willingly used his life to save those undead souls, but how could Baoshu, who was with him day and night, know nothing about his feelings?

Axu thought that she had deceived Baoshu, but in fact she had deceived herself.Bao Shu took advantage of his feelings to get rid of the undead who had entangled him for many years without any effort.

Just now the young man beside Baoshu hurriedly ran back along the bridge. Even though his clothes were soaked to a large extent, he was still full of joy: "My lord, Your Majesty entrusted me to deliver a message to you."

Fadu asked, "You are?"

"The villain is the new manager, Du Kou, who will replace Manager Dai from today's position."

Axu thought that after he got rid of the undead for Baoshu, Baoshu would feel sorry for him, and Fadu's restraint on Baoshu would be weakened, and he would even turn against him because of his death.There was nothing wrong with his whole plan, the only flaw was that Bao Shu only regarded him as a pawn from the beginning.

Fa Du nodded: "Director Du."

"No, no, how dare the villain be so rude in front of the national teacher. The national teacher also called Director Dai A Xu, and then he will also call the villain by the name of the villain." Bao Shu looked for a replacement most of the time. Du Kou was overjoyed at the sudden success of Yuan's random appointment, and immediately thought of taking over everything from Axu.

"That's fine." Fadu knew his state of mind at the moment, so he responded with him, "What is it that His Majesty entrusted you to pass on?"

Du Kou nodded again and again: "Your Majesty said that you had a very happy conversation with the King of Luling a few days ago. Today, the prince heard good news that the princess is happy, and he specially invited the national teacher to share the celebration banquet at the palace tomorrow."

Fadu's heart shuddered, the one who should come has indeed come.
