~8 min read 1,530 words

If Su Li were the main general of the main force at this time, after discovering such an unscientific situation, he would definitely order all units to stop marching immediately.

But he was not.

And he didn't know what kind of trouble this was.

They had actually been marching the whole time without the slightest feeling of getting closer to Julu City.

And what was the most magical thing?

It was that the map function that came with him as a player had no abnormalities at all.

The Julu City it pointed to was constantly getting closer.

But Su Li had clearly just specifically found a high place to observe, and the shadow of that Julu City in the distance was still incomparably blurry.

This situation was very eerie.

So Su Li first let Zhao Yu pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time, and then rode his horse to Deng Song’s side and asked: "Administrator Deng, did we take the wrong road?"

"Why do I feel that the distance between us and Julu City has not shortened at all?"

As a local of Jizhou, and with his hometown near Julu, Deng Song was naturally particularly familiar with the roads here, especially the official roads.

So when he heard Su Li ask this, he subconsciously looked around.

Then he looked at Su Li again, revealing a confused gaze: "This road is the one leading to Julu City; we didn't take the wrong road. What’s wrong, Lord Su? Is there something wrong?"

Su Li didn't know how to say it, so he shook his head slightly, left, and went to find Ju Shou.

Leaving behind a confused Deng Song.

After finding Ju Shou, Su Li informed him of his intention.

As a famous scholar of Jizhou, Ju Shou was naturally not a mediocre person; he had also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and he immediately summoned a scout.

Under normal circumstances, when troops marched, there would be a scout unit to explore the road to avoid taking the wrong path, and at the same time, to explore whether there were enemies ahead, so that they could warn in advance.

"How much longer until we reach Julu City?"

Once the scout arrived, Ju Shou asked directly.

"Reporting to my lord, according to the map, we still have about an hour or so before we can arrive..."

That scout replied.

Well, an hour in this world was the same as in ancient times, equivalent to two hours now.

That is to say, it would take at most two or three hours to arrive at Julu.

This time, it was not long, but it was not short either.

"However..."

When saying the last two words "arrive," the scout became a bit hesitant.

"However what? Why don't you report the truth quickly?"

Ju Shou questioned sternly.

"Reporting to my lord, I don't know if it’s our illusion, but when I was exploring the road, I always felt that we didn't seem to have walked very far, and there was still a long distance from Julu City."

"Just by walking for an hour, it is impossible to arrive."

The scout said in a trance.

"Having discovered this situation, why didn't you report it earlier?" **CHAPTER 284**

"Could it be that we took the wrong road?"

Ju Shou’s face sank, and he also asked this question that Su Li had just asked Changshan Administrator Deng Song.

"No, my lord, we should not have taken the wrong road. According to what I know, there is only this one official road leading to Julu City in this direction."

"Even if we walked with our eyes closed, it would be impossible to take the wrong road."

The scout was afraid of being punished, so he replied quickly.

This was really not their dereliction of duty; they had strictly followed the marching route.

"Then how did the situation you mentioned appear?"

"We have marched for a total of two hours, and we are still far from Julu City?"

Ju Shou frowned.

"This... I don't know either. Perhaps it is because of the terrain here that caused our vision to be wrong. If we march forward for a distance, we should be able to see clearly."

To be honest, this was the first time the scout had encountered such a situation. Obviously, the route was completely correct, and there was only one official road. Even if one closed one eye, it shouldn't be wrong.

But the fact was that Julu City, which was originally far away in the sky, was still as far away as it was in the sky.

"Alright, let’s do that for now. You should notify the scout unit as soon as possible to explore further away and find out how far we are from Julu City."

Ju Shou frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he already had some guesses in his heart, but there was no other way, so he could only continue to march.

At this point, he could only take one step at a time and see if it was really as he guessed.

"Lord Su, you have also heard that this is the current situation. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Ju Shou turned his head, and his gaze fell back on Su Li.

Alright!

Su Li was a bit speechless. Who was the strategist between the two of them? Did Ju Shou have no idea?

"Mr. Ju, I suggest that we can stop marching first, rest for a while, and wait until the scouts have explored the situation before making plans!"

However, when Ju Shou heard this, he shook his head and said: "Lord Su, you don't know that I am worried that we have fallen into some unknown means of the enemy."

"Once we stop marching, it will be very easy to lose contact with the scout unit!"

Alright!

Su Li’s eyes flashed. Ju Shou was worthy of being a famous general of Jizhou; he had thought more thoroughly than him.

Indeed, in this situation, it was very likely that they had fallen into some means of the enemy. Once they were too far away from the scout unit, it was hard to guarantee that accidents would not happen.

"Mr. Ju is still brilliant, even thinking of such things. I have learned!"

Su Li bowed, besides admiring Ju Shou, he also wanted to get closer to Ju Shou.

If there was a possibility in the future, it might not be impossible to pry the corner of the Jizhou Governor.

···

"Haha! Lord Su is joking. You were the first to discover this unusual aspect, which is much more brilliant!"

Ju Shou laughed and returned the salute, which was quite humble.

Subsequently.

Su Li returned to his own troops, waiting for the scouts to send news.

Although he and Ju Shou both knew that it was very likely that something had gone wrong somewhere, they couldn't find it.

After all, in the current situation, except for the distance being a bit wrong, there seemed to be no other abnormalities.

He had observed it specifically, and even the surrounding scenery was different, ruling out the possibility of a ghost-wall.

In such a situation, could he just notify Pan Feng, Liu Bei, Deng Song, and others to stop and not go because of the distance being wrong?

Five minutes!

Ten minutes!

Half an hour!

Another half an hour passed.

Now, the time since they set out from the camp where they stayed last night had already been a full three hours.

It stood to reason that the distance to arrive at Julu should have been more than half.

Julu City, which was only a few dozen miles away in a straight line, was now at most twenty or thirty miles apart.

Judging by the ultra-long-range vision brought by Su Li’s super-high Might attribute, even if he didn't stand at a high place, he should be able to see Julu City from afar.

But...

Even if he jumped up and stood on a big tree now, he could only see a very blurry shadow.

Just like a mirage in the desert.

Julu City seemed to be standing on the distant horizon like a shadow.

It looked like it was right there.

But no matter how one wanted to approach it, one could never get close.

This situation was very eerie, very creepy, and even more baffling.

And not long after.

The scout unit sent out by Ju Shou brought back an appalling piece of news.

"Cannot approach! Simply cannot approach Julu City!"

They whipped their horses and ran at full speed toward the direction of Julu City without leaving any effort, but found that they could not get close at all.

The point on the map was clearly right in front of their eyes, but when they searched for it, it was far away in the sky!

When the scout unit brought this information back, all units immediately fell into a panic!

"Seeing a ghost-wall in broad daylight!"

These few words immediately popped up in their minds!
