It’s a no-brainer that Redmi Note 9 Series will break cover on November 26 in China. Ahead of this, the company has been teasing the device frequently. Today, the VP of Xiaomi, Lu Weibing has shared a post on Weibo that shows invitations sent out to media. And the letter is accompanied by an actual “sword”.

The official post(via Sina Technology) on Weibo shared by Lu Weibing shows a series of images with an invitation letter and a big box. The invitation letter has the Redmi Note 9 logo, and the “Three Musketeers” slogan confirming the three models. Further, it reads, “There are thousands of schools in the arena, and there are thousands of moves. But the great heroes do not ask for unique secrets. They should carefully practice one move and one move to benefit the people”(Google translated).

As for the sword, bloggers who received it have shared a slogan on Weibo. It says “the brave will win if you meet on a narrow road”(Google Translated). That said, reports say that the sword is basically an eight-sided Han Sword. Apparently, it is and is long, narrow, and thicker than the four-sided ones. This suggests that the sword might be a collectors’ edition resembling the ones from the Han Dynasty of China. You can take at the sword and invites below:
