Those wanting to head north aren't just Zhang Ze and Miemie, but also Hand and the little monk.
As part of the remnants of a previous dynasty, Hand not only claimed rightful succession to the Empire but also possessed the intelligence of a conspirator.
Upon finding the little monk as a suitable candidate, Hand adhered to one principle:
Develop stealthily, and avoid shooting.
To maintain secrecy and avoid meaningless causality, after being bought from the auction house, Hand didn't kill and silence the unlucky buyer. Instead, it booked the person a round-trip ticket to the far west of the Western Barbarians, to the West Sea.
Hypnotizing the person, Hand personally sent him onto the flying ship.
Heading all the way west, facing the sea, spring blooms eternal.
To return, it would be at least the next year.
After handling this unlucky fellow, Hand raced to the little monk's fight scene.
