Sarah knelt down alone in front of the throne. The dazzling outdoor sunlight shone through the colorful broken glass in front of Sarah. She thought of her mother again.

A fat man walked in directly from the door, his eyes were black and seemed to be deeply sunken.

He twisted his greasy body and looked condescendingly at Sara, who had her back turned to him. A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his tone sounded very respectful.

"Sir Sarah, what are you still doing here? The people are waiting for you to give a speech. Go quickly." An Lushan's eyes showed a hint of ferocity that was not easy to detect.

Sarah walked out of the nostalgia of remembering her mother, turned around and showed a cheerful smile.

"An Lushan, you are right, let's go..."

Zixu had been following Sara, but Sara seemed to be caught up in her previous memories. She also noticed that when she was waving to the people in the tower, there seemed to be a kind of hands pushing her behind her back.

"It's impossible, it can't be An Lushan's. I must be too tired." Sarah already had a little doubt in her heart, but An Lushan had successfully brainwashed her over the years, so Sarah still believed that An Lushan

It won't hurt him.

Zixu didn't really care what Sara thought. He followed Sara to a place similar to an elevator lift. Zixu removed his disguise and suddenly appeared behind Sara like a ghost.

"Don't you think it's strange? When you were pushed down... those 'people' were still cheering and applauding. It seems that it doesn't matter who the speaker is, right?"

"Ah!" Sara suddenly collapsed on the spot. Zixu shocked her. She didn't expect that a person would suddenly appear behind her.

She collapsed on the ground, thinking that she was finished, and at least something bad would happen to her. She could see the struggle in her eyes, but she still stood up and looked directly at Zixu.

"No matter what you say, I won't believe it! An Lushan will never lie to me!"

Zixu spread his hands and the lift stopped. He walked out of the lift without paying attention to Sara behind him.

"Do you believe it or not? What does it have to do with me? There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. The reason why I want to protect you now is because you have something I can use to trade. What about An Lushan?"

"I'm not a good person. You don't need to believe me, but is the An Lushan you call a good person?"

Zixu left these words and disappeared around the corner. There were many rooms on this floor, and he sensed some interesting things here.

Sara stood there for a while and then started running in small steps. She originally wanted to tell An Lushan about this matter, and the other party would definitely make a correct judgment, but what Zixu said was like a thorn.

In her heart, she was actually a little scared now.

"Beautiful words, Sara, Sara, you are the queen of Loulan, you have to have your own opinion." She patted her face, wanting to find out this matter herself, but before she could make a move, a black hand appeared

It stretched out from a door and dragged her inside.

The room was so dark that Sara's eyes were as if she were blind and she couldn't see anything. In the process of adapting to the darkness, she heard rustling sounds in the dark, the sound of iron tools scratching the ground, and the whispering female voice.

.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Sarah acted quite calmly. She had just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, and she already had some resistance.

"Please give it back to us!" Female voices came from the darkness. They seemed to be very excited, and their tone of voice was filled with resentment.

"Give it back to you? What is it?" Sarah heard this incomprehensible words, her mind did not turn around, and returned it to them? She didn't seem to have asked anyone for anything.

"They should be asking you to return their father and brother." Zixu opened the door from the outside and turned on the light switch with ease.

The light shone on everyone, and Sara's eyes, which had just adapted to the darkness, were a little confused by the light.

However, she also saw clearly the people in front of her. Judging from their body shape and hair, they should all be women. They were holding hoes and shovels in their hands, and they were staring at Zixu warily.

Zixu threw a few notebooks to Sarah and recorded something on them.

"Ah! My diary! Don't look at it!" came a somewhat delicate female voice. Although her face was covered, the exposed skin had turned red.

"Tonight I dreamed..."

"That's not it. Look at the back."

Sara read the contents of the diary quickly, and finally finished reading with the girl's expression of despair.

"You said I ordered the recruitment of male members of your family? Impossible! I have never given such an order. There must be a mistake."

Seeing that Sarah's expression did not look fake, the women also took off their masks. They seemed to want to say something, but they seemed to be concerned about her status as a queen, so they kept mumbling for a long time.

"Let me tell you, I am the evil person." Zixu also almost understood the whole story. He is an outsider, so he doesn't have to worry so much. He can just tell Sara the truth directly. As for whether she can accept it, that is her

’s matter.

"First of all, you, the puppet queen of Loulan, have no real power at all, right? All the power lies with An Lushan, right? He usually makes the decision. I'm right, right?"

Sara was a little dissatisfied and retorted directly:

"That's not the case! It's An Lushan who is helping me handle my affairs. He will ask for my opinion no matter what. As long as I speak, he will definitely..."

Zixu stretched out his hand to interrupt her, saying it was just a quibble. He didn't want to hear Sarah's excuse for An Lushan.

"The thing is very simple. Namikaze Minato said before that An Lushan wanted to build war weapons, right? Those men were obviously captured by him and used as coolies."

"There are so many puppets in this city that one person cannot handle, so haven't you noticed yet? My dear puppet princess..."

Zixu showed a sinister smile, walked into Sara, touched Sara's head with one hand, and stared into her escaping eyes.

"You have been deceived from the beginning. I guess An Lushan is still happy to find such a perfect puppet princess. Although I don't understand why you became the Queen of Loulan at such a young age, but the more likely reason is

It was the ruler of Loulan of the previous generation who discovered An Lushan’s conspiracy. An Lushan got rid of her, and then it was your turn to take over..."

Sarah obviously thought of something, and her outlook was greatly affected.

But Zixu had no intention of letting her go. He grabbed Sara with one hand and rushed out.

The sky outside was a little dark, but there were fireworks in the sky, and the parade and celebration below were held as usual.

It stands to reason that Sara's whereabouts are unknown now, but the residents don't seem to care about this at all and are still holding celebrations.

Zixu rushed into the crowd with Sara in his arms. Only then did Sara realize that these "people" were residents? They were clearly a bunch of stiff puppets!

What made it even more difficult for her to accept was that a mechanical puppet dressed exactly like the one she had worn before appeared on the high platform, waving its arms stiffly, as if signaling to the crowd below.

"How can it be……"
