This time it was Xu Zhao's turn to be confused. What was going on?

The topic changed too quickly. Weren't they discussing joining the army? How did they suddenly end up talking about stealing?

Could it be that Zhao Dabao had such a bad habit in the past?

Xu Zhao fixed his sight on Zhao Dabao, who was still kneeling on the ground with a dazed look on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like him. Did this kid have the guts to steal things?

She felt that Zhao Dabao was not as bad as Fang Xuren said. "Maybe it's a misunderstanding?"

"How can it be a misunderstanding? There are witnesses and evidence!" Fang Xuren also hoped that it was a misunderstanding, but this was what he and the prince saw with their own eyes.

"Where is the physical evidence, and who is the witness?" Xu Zhao still didn't quite believe it and wanted to defend Zhao Dabao.

When Fang Xuren saw Xu Zhao's expression, it seemed that she hadn't noticed that her things were missing at all.

"The witnesses are all of us present here. As for the physical evidence, it's in this kid's arms." After saying that, he roughly picked up Zhao Dabao, who was kneeling on the ground, with just one hand, and took out the green blood moon mask that had just fallen from his arms.

"This is the physical evidence."

Xu Zhao had a face full of question marks. How could the mask he had just given to Zhao Dabao last night become physical evidence?

not……

Xu Zhao seemed to understand, her eyes widened as big as copper bells. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened to her!

"You're not going to say that Zhao Dabao stole my mask, are you?" Xu Zhao asked tentatively.

Fang Xuren threw Zhao Dabao to the ground and handed the mask in his hand to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu carefully identified it and found that it was indeed Xu Zhao's mask. He placed the mask on the table and said, "Zhao Dabao, do you have anything to say?"

"This mask just fell from his arms. He must have gone into Miss Xu's tent and stolen it."

Most of the other people's tents were occupied, except for Miss Xu, who lived alone in one. She often went out to help, which gave the thief an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Wait!" Xu Zhao quickly helped Zhao Dabao up from the ground. "You must have misunderstood. I gave this mask to this child last night. How could it be stolen?"

This time it was Shen Yu and Fang Xuren who were stunned.

Shen Yu pursed his lips. Although he didn't say explicitly that Zhao Dabao had stolen Xu Zhao's things, he had tacitly agreed to it in his heart and just wanted to wait for Zhao Dabao to tell the truth himself.

Fang Xuren was still the most embarrassed person. He had just said righteously that Zhao Dabao was a thief, but he didn't expect that it was all a misunderstanding.

He touched the back of his head and then his chest, and for a moment he didn't know where to put his hands.

This was the first time Xu Zhao saw the saying online that people become particularly busy when they are embarrassed.

"You guys..." Xu Zhao didn't know what to say.

But this cannot be blamed on Shen Yu and the others. These three people clearly have three mouths, but only Fang Xuren is speaking, and they didn't even ask her to verify it.

And Zhao Dabao, this kid was so scared that he couldn't speak. When he gets to the battlefield, can he really pick up a weapon and point his sword at the enemy?

Xu Zhao put the mask on the table on Zhao Dabao and patted his shoulder. "Don't be afraid. Once you put on the mask, the Moon Goddess will protect you."

"Stand up straight and tell the prince and Deputy General Fang loudly that this mask is a gift from me."

It seemed that with Xu Zhao by his side, he felt more confident and his panicked expression gradually faded away. He raised his head, which was almost hanging down to his chest, and looked at Xu Zhao, then at Shen Yu in front of him.

When Shen Yu raised his eyes, he met Zhao Dabao's masked face. The sharp fangs were chilling, and the crisscrossing lines on it were a bit weird. At this moment, he could not see Zhao Dabao's timid expression at all.

"This mask... was given to me by Sister Xu... last night," Zhao Dabao spoke intermittently, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly put his hands behind his back.

Fang Xuren said bluntly: "Speak louder. A real man should speak with confidence, just like me."

He spoke with full energy and demonstrated to Zhao Dabao.

"Dabao, if you really want to go to the battlefield to avenge your parents, you need to be brave. A timid person can only rely on others. Only those who are strong inside and brave outside can accomplish what they want to do."

Xu Zhao knew that he just had no experience. People always have to experience it for the first time before they can grow. What happened today can be regarded as an opportunity for him to muster up courage.

The villain in his heart was constantly playing games, and Zhao Dabao's eyes became more and more determined. He said again: "This mask was given to me by Sister Xu last night."

The more Zhao Dabao spoke, the clearer his words became. He touched the mask on his face and said, "She said that as long as I wear the mask, the Moon Goddess will bless me. Even if I die in the future, the mask will go with me to the underworld, so that I won't be bullied by the evil spirits on the underworld!"

Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at Xu Zhao and saw her blinking at him guiltily.

After Zhao Dabao finished speaking, Xu Zhao's expression became subtle. This child was really innocent and cute, saying whatever she wanted. The second half of her words were just said to appease him and he couldn't take them seriously at all.

She held her forehead silently in her heart, and when she felt a strange pair of eyes looking at her, she raised her dark eyes and met Shen Yu's playful expression. She could only pretend to be innocent.

"Since this mask has such miraculous effects," Shen Yu looked at Fang Xuren, who was already a little stunned, and said, "Deputy General Fang, have someone make a batch of masks based on Miss Xu's and distribute them to every soldier."

"Your Highness, this..." Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a lie. If it was said that wearing a mask could bring blessings from the Moon Goddess, this might be half-believable, but the so-called fearlessness of being bullied by evil spirits directly reduced the credibility to the lowest level.

Only this innocent child would believe such nonsense.

"Do it!" Shen Yu's order was unquestionable.

Without Xu Zhao's explanation, he knew what she meant when she said this to Zhao Dabao. If a person has no faith, then create one for him and give him a reason.

It seems that Zhao Dabao was very afraid of ghosts, so Xu Zhao used this mask to tell him that ghosts were also afraid of this mask.

"In the future, if we are to go to hell, all the soldiers of our Moon Nation will wear blue blood moon masks so that we can recognize each other. If anyone is bullied, we must help each other!"

Shen Yu glanced at Fang Xuren with a warning in his eyes.

Shen Yu covered up the lie for Xu Zhao. If one person said this, he might be shaken, but if two or three people said it, he would be much more determined.
