And this is my controller

function postAddUser(Request $request)
{
    $user = new User;
    $user->id_ward = $request->id_ward;
    $user->save();
    return redirect('admin/users/list_user');
}

Answer 1

Try replacing

<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{csrf_token() }}" />

->

@csrf

It will help https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/csrf

If that doesn't help Let's understand. What we have written in routes? There must be something like.

Route::post('/users/add_user', 'UsersController@postAddUser')->name('postAddUser'); 

in controller

public function postAddUser() { 
    $user = new User(); 
    $user->id_ward = request()->id_ward; 
    $user->save(); 
    return redirect('admin/users/list_user'); 
} 

in view

<form action="{{ route("postAddUser") }}" method="post" id="form-add-user">

Answer 2

If you inspect your form using devtools does your token has any value at all? or does it have an empty value?

Try adding this line request()->session()->regenerateToken(); to your controller before you show view containing the form:

public function showAddUserForm()
{
    request()->session()->regenerateToken();
    return view('user.create');
}

I had the same issue because I was trying to add a modal with a form to a page that already has a form. To solve it I gave my forms unique ids and then with the help of the form attribute added the form id to all my inputs including the csrf input. Below is an example. I am hopeful it would solve your problem

<form action="{{route('template.update')}}" id="edit_template_{{$template->id}}" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{csrf_token() }}" form="edit_template_{{$template->id}}">
<input type="number" name = "unit_price" form="edit_template_{{$template->id}}">
 <button  form="edit_template_{{$template->id}}">Save</button>
</form>
